Overview of the Promise Gardens of the Adirondacks

Where do we even begin!! June 24, 2022 was magical, dreamy & simply perfect. Choosing the Promise Gardens as our wedding venue was the easiest decision by far. This venue is absolutely breathtaking in every way and fit our vision in location, layout & overall look. We had our ceremony outside looking out at the three sister mountains, cocktail hour on the patio, reception under the tent & dancing in the barn. The movement between spaces on the property was very appealing to us. I (Jade, the bride,) have been in love with this venue even before we got engaged & I'm so delighted that we were able to make our dream to have a wedding there come true. We are so appreciative of the partnership with our coordinator Yana, who helped make this planning process as smooth as possible. Yana was always willing to jump on a zoom call, phone call or respond promptly to our texts. Terri, the owner is so organized, friendly and detail-oriented. She truly cares for her property, and works above and beyond to make sure the event runs smoothly and that the bride & groom as well as the guests are happy. Our guests were (and continue to be) in awe of the beauty of the venue and details of the day. We can't stop smiling just thinking about how beautiful the day was for us and for our families who traveled near and far. We are forever grateful to the Promise Gardens venue & staff!

Dream Wedding

My wife and I had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Promise Gardens this summer. This venue was a dream location for my wife long before we got engaged, and her dreams were fulfilled every step of the way to our wedding day! Our guests were in awe of the venue, from the obviously eye-catching florals, the backdrop of the Adirondacks, the beauty of the barns and all the small details in between. The new White Willow barn was the perfect dinner space for our guests and it didn’t even exist when we first booked the venue! Of course, Terri and Rachel were very pleasant to work with and made sure all our questions were answered in the months, weeks and days leading up to our special day. If you’re looking for your dream venue in the Lake George/Adirondack area, do yourself a favor and visit The Promise Gardens!

Nothing else compares!

Ryan and I are beyond fortunate to have found your venue, Terri! It was the first we visited, actually quite by accident, on our way back home from a camping trip in the Adirondacks (near Keene). We were immediately smitten, but tried our best to do our due research... but sure enough, the beauty of the mountains, the flowers, and the property drew us right back. We loved how there were multiple buildings/barns on site and people could flow in and out and around them. It's a venue that encourages wandering and appreciation of all the little beautiful things that surround us.

Even more incredible is that Terri was planning on building a beautiful white barn where the reception tent used to be, and I was lucky enough to see the architect renders when I went to visit a second time! But, I had another idea for the barn... and when I emailed her a rendering that I did, Terri actually took the time to consider it and ultimately implemented it in the final design for the barn!! I think that the finished barn is absolutely gorgeous, with views towards the mountains and a cozy fireplace on the opposite end, and I'm even more proud that it was a collaborative effort. Terri is a wonderful hostess: firm yet very accommodating, kind, and very smart!

There is no other location I could ever want my greatest memory to be remembered at. Thank you for all of your hard work, Terri and co.! Your venue is an inspiration to me as an aspiring architect. Sending you so much love!

I cant say enough positive things about Burlap & Beams for your wedding venue. This is a hidden treasure in the heart of the Adirondacks with all the glamorous, rustic enhancements you could imagine. Every season the owner continues to fill the property with creative touches that make this barn one of the best in the capital region. As a wedding planner I know what to expect when I arrive on site with no surprises to how the day will go, which is perfectly. You will not be disappointed with the quality of value of this unique wedding venue!

I have worked with Terri at Burlap and Beams many times. Every time that I visit I am amazed at the new decor and improvements she continues to make to the barns and property. She is always hustling around the day of the wedding making sure the barns and gardens are in tip top shape. She puts her heart into Butlap and Beams. I would recommend Terri and Burlap and Beams to any bride for their wedding!
