Onteora Mountain House is a wedding venue in Boiceville, New York, just an hour from Albany. This rustic property sits on a mountain overlooking the Catskills and features a 90-year-old Adirondack-style main house for an authentic upstate experience. With several bed and breakfast accommodation options, this venue is ideal for a weekend destination wedding.
Facilities and Capacity
Couples can host around 200 guests on their special day at Onteora Mountain House. The property includes an inn, a banquet pavilion, and a ceremony space overlooking the mountain vistas and Esopus Valley. After exchanging vows among the trees, newlyweds and their guests can explore the garden and main house during the cocktail hour. After, they are welcome to head inside the pavilion for their reception. The rustic banquet hall brings in the outdoors with floor-to-ceiling windows and a polished wooden interior. Its openness and high ceilings create a spacious atmosphere for dining and dancing. Soon-to-be newlyweds are invited to use one or both of the hillside cottages as get-ready rooms to prepare for their big day.

Couples and guests can stay the night in the property’s seven rooms. Formerly the summer residence of Richard Hellmann, famous for his mayonnaise company, the house features panoramic views of the Catskills and cozy furnishings.
