About

This 400 acre estate on the Hudson River, with its gently rolling hills, expansive view of the Catskills, and spectacular sunsets, is only 90 minutes north of New York City. Rokeby is a designated Historic Landmark, still privately owned by the descendants of Alida Livington, for whom the house was built in 1815.

Couples may choose Rokeby for their ceremony site, reception site, or both.

Basic Package: $6500
Bridal Suite Package: $300/$500
First Look Package: $500

Our fee for the Basic Package is $4,500, and includes the use of the grounds to the South and the West of the main house. We can accommodate outdoor weddings only, with a ceremony in our gardens overlooking the rolling landscape, and reception for up to 200 guests under a tent. The romantic wrap-around porch offers a spectacular space for additional entertaining.

The Bridal Suite package is an additional $300 (one room)/$500 (two rooms), and includes access to one or both of the upstairs bedrooms, each with private bath. These rooms can be used the day of the wedding for the bridal party to get ready for the ceremony, and to change into evening-wear for the reception. Some first look photos can be taken in the bedrooms, the main hallway with this package.

The First Look package is an additional $500 fee, and includes access to the main entrance to the house including the wrap-around staircase, the music room, the drawing room designed by Stanford White, and the library for first look and family photographs.

Absolutely AMAZING venue!

We cancelled our big wedding due to covid and we were planning to just show up at a local lake and have our wedding ceremony... that is until we saw Rokeby! Marina was very responsive and walked us around the property, which is absolutely exquisite. The grounds have several perfect ceremony locations (in front of the garden, mountain view, on the porch, in front of a very old beautiful tree) and Marina had the ceremony space set up exactly how we had asked. The experience was seamless and our guests continue to talk about how wonderful the estate is. Highly, highly recommend!

Perfect Country Wedding

My husband and I are so glad that we chose to have our wedding at Rokeby. Marina was an absolute delight to work with and helped us create our perfect day. Rokeby allows for so much flexibility- we could choose where to have the ceremony, where to have the reception, whether or not to stay overnight in the mansion. We could structure our day however we wanted knowing that we had no restrictions other than what time the reception had to end. Marina's love and attachment to Rokeby shone through and transferred to us. The view cannot be beat, the grounds are gorgeous and the porch is the perfect location for cocktail hour.

Amazing location and wonderful memories

I can not say enough wonderful things about Marina Michahelles and our experience in working with her to host our wedding at Rokeby. What drew my husband and I to Rokeby was the stunning, unmistakable Hudson Valley views and the history of the Rokeby estate. During our planning process, Marina was highly responsive and accommodating with our various vendors and requests (including a bonfire after the reception). In the end, we felt that our wedding day at Rokeby was personalized and unique to us, an opportunity that I know would not be possible at a more traditional venue.

Rokeby - Best Wedding Ever

We were so lucky to be married at Rokeby in June. Our friends are still calling it the "best wedding ever!" The setting was stunning - and I can't stress how easy and amazing Marina and the Rokeby team were to work with! They helped us create a truly memorable day that went way beyond our expectations.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
