Full Moon creates magic for your wedding weekend

The easiest decision we made during the wedding planning process was choosing Full Moon Resort as our venue. The staff from beginning to end really prioritize you as their client. The coordinators are gracious and flexible and amazing at communicating throughout the planning process. And throughout the entire weekend out guests kept telling us how taken care of they felt by the onsite staff. Our guests and I can't rave enough about Full Moon resort! Not only is it such a picturesque place for photos it just felt like such an honor to get married in such a warm and beautiful environment. Thank you Full Moon team for making our dreams come true!

Dream Venue Found!

This venue truly had everything we could have hoped for in one place. In the heart of the Catskills, surrounded by majestic mountains, it provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. We appreciated the convenience of having all our family and friends stay together on-site, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere. I am not one for reviews, but Full Moon is so wonderful, I have to share.

The staff at Full Moon Resort were attentive and accommodating, ensuring that every event flowed seamlessly. The food was delicious adding to the overall experience. We found ourselves completely immersed in the joy of the moment, surrounded by our loved ones.

Truly, the staff was patient and supportive throughout, which we truly appreciated. The entire team is there for you no matter how many last minute changes or guests might happen. What is also amazing is you have a TEAM, leading up to it, day of, you have a mighty group to support you!

Looking back, our only regret is that we couldn't enjoy the experience as guests at our own wedding. But, in the end, the magic of the venue and the dedication of the team made our day truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Full Moon Resort for any couple looking for a picturesque and memorable wedding experience.

Stop looking for the perfect wedding venue! It's right here :)

Once we started wedding planning the first big decision I wanted to make was to find the right venue. We looked all over NJ/Long Island/NYC and spent weeks traveling to and speaking with various vendors. They were all the same, run of the mill places. I wanted a venue where all of my wedding guests could stay onsite, and where we could plan multiple events without breaking the bank. Then we saw some extremely expensive ones, and I mean $100-200k just for the venue alone, which is CRAZY! Like, no thanks. Enter Full Moon Resort. From the moment we met with their team we know this was a special place. Nestled in the heart of the Catskills (Big Indian, NY) they have over 100 acres of property and numerous locations onsite where you can host your welcome dinner, reception, breakfast/lunch and after party, as well as unique housing for all of your guests. The entire staff at the front desk, specifically Tia Williams, seriously deserve some kind of award. They were all extremely responsive, knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Tia helped me (on a short time frame) organize all of my 100+ guests into the right rooms. She also helped with our invitations and ensuring we had the right wording, as it was a two-day destination event with nuances. There was never a time that I emailed and didn't have a response within 24 hours. The onsite event staff, specifically Kayla Friedman, made all of the planning so easy. Digital planning forms helped us stay organized and guided us throughout the entire planning process (no we did not have a wedding planner - just the staff at Full Moon)! From our tasting, to the flow of the entire weekend, nothing was overlooked by this team. On my wedding day I even had two full-time FMR assistants (Nikki and Gigi) that attended to my every need! They helped me setup all of my decorations and signs for all of my events, and even some floral arrangements. These ladies even packaged up extra food for us to take home and delivered it to our room (because yes it was that good). On top of everything, they also made vendor coordination seamless. Additionally, my nephew has special needs and needed a wheelchair ramp installed, which the staff made happen! They also built out a special changing area for him during the wedding reception. My sister was shocked, and mentioned that she had never received such proactive support. And.. oh.. the food - WAS AMAZING. WOW. And I'm picky. Not your typical gluttonous wedding meal slathered in cheese, gravy, and oil, but an incredibly fresh selection that our guests loved, as well as a delicious wedding cake made onsite with two flavors. The rooms onsite were also extremely clean, well maintained, and were perfect for us and our guests. The entire property with its numerous locations including The Old Barn, the newly built Pavilion, Lower Grove for ceremonies, and the Roadhouse for your after party, is just like something out of a story book. Everyone truly listened and cared about our experience. We never ever felt like a number, or just another guest. I can't thank everyone enough for making our wedding weekend one we will never forget! We absolutely plan to come back for years to come ;).

Full moon Resort is definitely on my favorite venues to photograph weddings at. Not only is it absolutely beautiful venue to get married, the new renovations are outstanding. The staff is one of the friendliest I have encountered in my 23 years of shooting. The setting is pure magic. Set amongst the hills and streams you feel at one with nature. Personally as a photographer the location couldn't be any better. There are photo opportunities everywhere. If you are looking for a classic rustic themed weekend wedding full of celebrating with friends and family, enjoying top notch food and even a s'mores or two you've found your place.
