Calli Sent on 05/30/2026Hands Down The BEST Place to Get Married
From our first conversation with the Full Moon Resort team, we knew we'd made the right choice. Their communication was quick and friendly, and they stayed on top of every detail leading up to our wedding weekend. The staff was accommodating and warm throughout the entire event, checking in on us at just the right moments and handling every request we had. The space itself is stunning, and having everything on-site—from lodging to multiple event spaces—made the weekend flow seamlessly. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and how easy it was to stay overnight. We honestly can't recommend Full Moon Resort enough for couples looking for a venue that truly delivers on professionalism, hospitality, and an unforgettable experience. -

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Full Moon Resort. From the moment we arrived we were received with such warmth and welcome that we knew this was the place for our wedding. With enough place to stay on site for all of our guests we were able to have our dream wedding that felt like a two day adult campground. We loved being able to have people within walking distance of all the activities and not have to worry about transportation for our guests. The grounds are absolutely perfect for a wedding and the event team and the front desk run the whole place like a well oiled machine. Absolutely amazing that they have delicious catering on site and many different options for the wedding ceremony in case of bad weather so there is nothing for the bride to worry about on the day of her wedding. The event team and front desk were able to help us plan the whole wedding weekend and ensure that we did not have any issues coordinating with the venders on the actual day of the wedding which was such a relief or any issues with guest information. The vendor list was also extremely comprehensive and ensured that we only selected the best vendors for our wedding. Our guests didn't want to leave at the end of the weekend and they made us want to get married all over again. Thank you for such an amazing experience and helping us create the wedding weekend that we dreamed of :) -

Santosh Sent on 01/17/2026A Hidden Gem in the Catskills
Full Moon Resort is a true hidden gem in the Catskills, offering a sense of peace with its fresh mountain air and the gentle creek flowing through the grounds. In July 2025, we hosted 220 guests for our son’s wedding, with 120 staying on-site. This three-day celebration turned into a deeply meaningful communal experience.
• Friday: We kicked off with a welcome BBQ and a 'Wedding Wow' ceremony, followed by a cozy late-night bonfire.
• Saturday: The day was rich with culture, starting with a vibrant Haldi ceremony followed by a serene Hindu ceremony by the creek. We transitioned to a beautiful reception at the Pavilion and ended the night with hours of relaxed conversation at the Roadhouse bar.
• Sunday: A final farewell breakfast allowed us one last moment together before saying goodbye.
The coordination was seamless, thank you Morgan and team; they handled everything from lodging to logistics with incredible professionalism. If you want a wedding that feels like a private retreat rather than just an event, this is the place. -

Gina Sent on 12/22/2025Our wedding at Full Moon in one word: magical!
When searching for a wedding venue, the search can be quite overwhelming! I was delighted to find Full Moon after searching “rustic venues” in New York. I was worried it would be above our price point but we went to visit anyway! Upon meeting the awesome staff, exploring the gorgeous grounds, and seeing what could be - we knew how incredible this place was.
The charm is what we fell in love with but the value is what really sold us! The services and amenities offered were amazing compared to any other venue we were considering. The moment we met the wonderful Tia at the welcome desk and the whimsical Paul who drove the giant sprinter van in the snow just to give us a tour, we knew we would be well taken care of!
To describe what it was like to have our wedding at Full Moon in one word it would be: magical.
From the Friday night barbeque to the goodbye breakfast, we and our guests loved every meal. We had so many allergies in attendance and I (the bride!) am Gluten Free, Dairy Free and we were so grateful to have the opportunity to work very closely with Chef Adam to include so many options. We even had GF & DF pies for dessert - iconic!
Yes, assigning guest accommodations are a little quirky but oh so worth it, we promise! Tia and Corrine are the literal dream team and supported us every step of the way. And shoutout to Janis also! Our guests agreed that the accommodations were lovely and it was incredible to have the resort to ourselves for the whole weekend.
When picking a wedding venue, it’s important to feel supported by the event staff and it’s fair to say we were blown away by all the small and big details every team member went out of their way to deliver. Major shout out to Morgan, Kayla, Gigi, Niki, Kaitlyn, and Josh - thank you SO much for all that you did to make our wedding feel so special!! We have countless stories from each of our guests, shining a light on each of you and the wonderful customer service experienced.
If you made it this far, I have one last shoutout - the afterparty at the roadhouse! Our very own dive bar complete with a disco ball, fries, and chicken wings? There is no better way to end the night!
If you’re looking for a magical, dreamy, wonderful event - book Full Moon Resort!! -

Nicole Sent on 11/19/2025Best Venue Ever
There is not much to say other than if you’re looking for an upstate venue that encompasses the beauty of the area, with amazing food, awesome accommodations, and even greater staff, then look no further.
Full Moon Resort completely exceeded all of our expectations. It was the best day of our lives and we have them to thank. During the entire planning process, I had their team available to me to answer any questions and help us when it came to a lot of the details. On the actual day itself, I could never have dreamt of not having to be hands-on or directing people with what to do, but I did not have to thanks to their expert team.
Our guests can’t stop talking about the amazing time they had and the fact a good amount of them were able to stay on-site with us.
We cannot recommend Full Moon enough. THANK YOU!!

Emma Sent on 10/20/2025Our summer camp wedding dream!
My husband and I got married at Full Moon in August of 2025 and it was the BEST weekend of our lives. When we were thinking about what we wanted out of a wedding venue, we opted to prioritize venues that could accommodate the majority of our guests on site. We didn't want to go the traditional wedding route where guests don't end up seeing one another and hanging out till 4 pm on Saturday. We wanted to bring all our guests together and to create an entire weekend experience. Seeing our guests hanging out at the pool (recently upgraded and AMAZING), playing volleyball, and just roaming the property on Saturday was our dream come true. Everything just flowed so perfectly having everything on site starting out with the welcome BBQ on Friday night, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, the after party at the Roadhouse, the after after party in the Billiards Room, and then farewell breakfast on Sunday. Our guests absolutely loved the summer camp experience of it all.
Working with the Full Moon staff leading up to the wedding was also an absolute pleasure. Never in our planning process were we EVER stressed about Full Moon's ability to deliver a seamless wedding weekend experience. Leading up to the event they were always extremely responsive to my many emails, and on the day of we didn't have to worry about a single thing, allowing us to just enjoy and be present in the moment. When my husband and I took a private moment between the ceremony and cocktail hour, the Full Moon team had our signature cocktails waiting for us in our room. They truly thought of everything. We are so so grateful for the whole Full Moon team - Nikki, Morgan, Kayla, Josh and Gigi. They managed all the little details of the day so seamlessly and professionally.
It was also a huge bonus that we didn't have to hire a wedding planner - Full Moon provided wonderful vendor recommendations and did all the event coordination leading up to, and on the day. They also coordinated several things directly with the vendors like drop off times and vendor meals. They know their venue so well that we didn't even have to think about so many of the little details they already had figured out (the perfect size dance floor, sound, lighting etc.)
The food was also absolutely amazing. Our guests raved about Chef Adam's giant steaks that were somehow cooked perfectly for all 170 guests. Our carrot cake was also INCREDIBLE and they even packed up a few pieces for us to enjoy on our way home on Sunday.
Full Moon will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can't wait to return to stay at one of their on site AirBnB rentals!! We are also actively trying to convince at least one of our friends to get married there so we can go back and experience it all as guests. -

Emily Sent on 10/17/2025Best Wedding Ever!!!
Full Moon Resort far exceeded everything we dreamed of for our wedding on 10/13/25. To put the conclusion first, all the staff at Full Moon Resort coordinated a flawless and smooth multi-day wedding celebration that left everyone (including us and all of our guests) feeling as though this was the best wedding they had ever attended.
There are so many unique and wonderful things about a wedding at Full Moon Resort. The location is quaint and dreamy - many of our guests extended their travel to explore surrounding areas in the Catskills and Northeast. Even though it rained on our wedding day, it actually made for a surreal and ethereal backdrop for photos and the event itself. Full Moon Resort had rain contingency plans for every moment. The staff made us feel very secure and reassured that they would take care of everything in the event of rain - and they absolutely did! The sound of rain and the creek in the background of the ceremony was very serene. We loved every minute of it!
The multi-day schedule of weddings at Full Moon Resort also allows so much extra time to spend with guests. From the BBQ the night before the wedding to the farewell breakfast the day after, we felt like we had enough time to actually talk to all ~170 guests at our wedding. Our guests also raved about having lots of quality time with each other while staying onsite for multiple days. This was another very special aspect of our wedding that we highly appreciated.
One potentially daunting part of the process is to place guests into their lodging options onsite, which is primarily done by the wedding couple since the wedding couple knows who should share accommodations. We were nervous about this part; however, the staff at Full Moon Resort helped us every step of the way and it ended up being much less work than we imagined! In the end, this also ended up being one of the most special parts of our wedding because family and friends who gathered to celebrate with us were able to spend even more quality time with each other.
All other parts of the planning process leading up to the event were also handled so smoothly by Full Moon Resort staff. They are highly communicative and friendly, always ready to chat with us if we had questions. They provided vendor recommendations that we utilized and were very happy with. They also helped coordinate a surprise musical guest to play at our BBQ, which was organized by our wedding party, and Full Moon Resort staff helped keep it a secret from us and executed it flawlessly. During the wedding day, we also felt like the staff were always looking after us. They gave us heads up about each component of the reception, telling us and our Maid of Honor/Best Man exactly when speeches, etc, were about to happen. There is also no need to have a day-of wedding coordinator at Full Moon Resort – they handle all vendor interactions and day-of coordination and the process could not have been smoother.
The food is also incredible - every meal served on site (BBQ, day-of breakfast and lunch, reception dinner, dessert, and farewell breakfast) was delicious. Many of our guests said the steak and salmon at our reception dinner were some of the best they’ve had. The bartenders were also super efficient and keyed into our and all of our guests’ needs. Even at our larger wedding of ~170 guests (who like to party!), there was never a line at the bar during the reception.
This is a long review, but there are so many things we were blown away by at Full Moon Resort. We have covered only some of the highlights that made our wedding absolutely unforgettable. We are so grateful to everyone at Full Moon Resort and wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone planning their wedding. -

We cannot recommend full moon enough. From the moment we toured full moon, we knew we had to have our wedding there. Everyone we met there was incredibly kind and helpful. They always answered all of our questions or concerns very quickly and made planning our wedding so much easier. The wedding itself was the most perfectly wonderful, beautiful, magical and smooth weekend we could have possibly imagined! Gigi and Nikki made our weekend so smooth and easy, they were both so helpful and always around the second we needed them! We cant recommend Full Moon enough! All of the food was delicious, the timing was all perfect, the accommodations were wonderful, all of the staff were so kind and helpful. It was so wonderful to be able to have all of the people we love all staying at the same place! Our wedding was an absolute dream! -

Fabulous experience!
Full moon resort was wonderful - delicious food options, help with planning and set-up, a lovely venue with different areas for ceremony and reception that are beautiful. The team helped organize every aspect of the experience - most of our guests stayed onsite and we had ceremony, reception, after-party and breakfast the next day. Pricing was an excellent value and we were able to have family and friends nearby for the event and after working with the team to plan everything, the day of was very low-stress on our end, which was perfect. Full Moon Resort is a well-oiled machine that has considered all the details that go into a lovely wedding event! -

Kellyann Sent on 06/03/2025The greatest venue we could have ever asked for
We got married at Full Moon Resort on Memorial Day 2025, and from the bottom of our hearts—we can’t imagine having celebrated anywhere else. We toured over a dozen venues, but the moment we stepped onto Full Moon’s grounds, we just knew. There’s a magic there that’s hard to put into words, but you feel it instantly.
Every single staff member we interacted with—from our first call to the last dance—felt like family by the end of the weekend. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye. If you're dreaming of a full weekend surrounded by nature, good vibes, and your favorite people, Full Moon is it.
To all the incredible women (and the whole team!) who made our wedding possible: thank you doesn’t even scratch the surface. The food was absolutely out of this world, the housing process was seamless, and the entire property is breathtaking. Every person on staff was kind, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our day not just special—but easier, too.
They strike the perfect balance between fun and professional. We even had a wild idea to do a flash mob after the ceremony, and somehow… they made it happen, fully on board every step of the way!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed at any point in the planning process, trust that Full Moon will have your back. The facilities are beautiful, the vibe is rustic yet refined, and the people are simply unmatched.
We’ll be dreaming about our wedding weekend for the rest of our lives, and we’re endlessly grateful to Full Moon for making it everything we hoped for—and so much more. -

Marika Sent on 12/30/2024Amazing event team, superb onsite chef and kitchen staff, nicest rooms for guests, and an after party “lodge” to keep the vibes immaculate!
Holy cow!!
We had three months to plan and execute. I’D DO IT AGAIN! You are able to house all of your guests on site, meaning everything from the ceremony to the goodbye breakfast is all within walking distance.
Our ceremony was in one space, our cocktail hour and reception were in a HUGE beautiful barn, and our TWO after parties were all a hit with all of the guests!
The planning process was transparent, all details laid out, on the day of, we unloaded and had it set up seamlessly.
I ended up forgetting my wedding dress an hour and 20 min away, and although it was a first for the staff to come across this situation, the pivot was flawless.
We would recommend FMR to anyone that will listen!
Get married here!!!

We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at Full Moon Resort, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! From start to finish, the team at Full Moon made everything so easy and enjoyable. They took care of so many little details that we hadn’t even thought of, allowing us to truly relax and soak in the special moments.
The staff were nothing short of amazing—professional, accommodating, and so friendly. It felt like they were truly invested in making our day perfect. Another perk was the food- it was absolutely delicious! Our guests were blown away by the quality and variety, and they kept talking about it all weekend. Having our Welcome BBQ/Dinner on a Sunday and our Ceremony and Reception on a Monday was a great choice. Not only did it give us a relaxed vibe, but it also made it easier to work with vendors since it was a less busy time for many of them. This flexibility really helped keep things running smoothly and gave us peace of mind.
Another perk was how much easier it was for our guests to travel since they had more affordable and flexible travel options.
Full Moon’s wedding package offers incredible value—it truly covers everything we needed and more, from the stunning venue to the seamless accommodations for our guests. Since most people stayed at the resort, they handled all the lodging arrangements with ease.
We couldn’t recommend Full Moon enough. It was the perfect place to celebrate our special day, and we can’t wait to return, hopefully as guests at someone else’s wedding! -

Full Moon was the only venue we saw in person, and knew right away it was right for us. We live in Texas and couldn't fly back and forth, and wanted a venue where the catering and set up would be included. Throughout the process, the staff was kind, responsive and helpful. Day-of, they were extremely thoughtful, including looking out for our mother in law who is visually impaired. We had a beautiful wedding and this place will always be in our hearts. -

Guy D. Sent on 11/25/2024Perfect wedding venue for an everyone-on-site Catskills wedding
We cannot recommend Full Moon highly enough. We discovered Full Moon when friends of ours got married there in April 2022 - we had a fantastic time; the venue was beautiful, we loved the fact that the whole guest list got to stay on-site and enjoy the entire weekend together, and the staff made everything seamless (even with weather emergencies!) When we started looking for our venue, it was at the top of our list, and the more venues we compared it to, the more it stood out - not only for quality but also for affordability/value and responsiveness. Key things that stood out: a beautiful venue, the ability to hold all events on-site and have your guests nearby, full-service (catering, bar, coordination, rentals, bakery - all part of the package!), quality food and bar options, and an INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL AND RESPONSIVE STAFF who made the whole event run smoothly and even helped accommodate some extra side events. They helped us add so many small touches to our event – from a slideshow during the welcome BBQ to karaoke at the after party, every weird idea we had was facilitated, and it made our weekend so much more special.
The team at Full Moon is the best - they are such professionals. They run 2 weddings a weekend (Friday-Sunday and Sunday-Tuesday) for most of the year, so you know they’ve got it down to a science and have seen everything that could go wrong - and helped fix it quickly! If you’re looking for a smaller/more affordable option, the Sunday-Tuesday slot has a lower guest count minimum and price point (100 guest min as of October 2024). They work with you on planning out the weekend, support the complex process of getting all your guests assigned to rooms on site, and are generally rock stars. We expected to be stressed on our wedding day, but we really just got to enjoy it. Shout out to Kayla, Nikki, Tia, Corrine, Morgan, and the whole team - thank you for an incredible weekend! -

Jessica Sent on 11/25/2024An Unforgettable Wedding Weekend at Full Moon Resorts
From the moment we arrived at Full Moon Resorts, the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular. The team at Full Moon went above and beyond every step of the way, and we could not have asked for a more welcoming, professional, and attentive group of people to help us celebrate our wedding weekend.
Tia and her team were incredible in assisting with every detail of the room plans and guest accommodations. They took the time to ensure that everyone’s needs were met, including confirming guest lists and answering any questions our guests had throughout the weekend. This extra level of care made everything run smoothly and allowed us to focus on enjoying the experience.
Morgan and her team truly went above and beyond all weekend long. They made sure that the bridal party and all our guests were treated with the utmost respect and care. From the morning of the wedding day, they ensured that the bridal party was well taken care of with food and drinks, keeping us hydrated and well-fed as we prepared for the big day. They were constantly checking in, making sure we had everything we needed and that every detail was perfect. They even helped set up our ceremony site, which turned out absolutely gorgeous.
The food throughout the weekend was another highlight! Every single guest raved about how incredible the meals were, with many saying it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We were so impressed by the quality and variety, and the Full Moon team truly delivered an unforgettable culinary experience.
Nicole’s presence and sense of humor made her a standout member of the bridal party team. She was attentive to every need, keeping things light and fun while ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the day.
What stood out most to us, though, was the expertise and care Full Moon offers as a wedding venue. They specialize in weddings, and it’s evident in every detail, from the seamless coordination to the thoughtful, personalized service. Their list of trusted vendors was an invaluable resource for us, especially since we weren’t local to the area. We ended up going with Legion Fireworks, and as promised, they were fantastic!
Our guests had an amazing time as well. Some went hiking through the beautiful surroundings and even spotted wild animals like bald eagles, bears, and deer. Others loved their cabins, which provided every comfort imaginable and made for a perfect stay.
We truly had the most magical wedding weekend, and we are already looking forward to celebrating our 10-year anniversary at Full Moon. This venue and its amazing staff made our special day even more memorable, and we cannot wait to return to such a beautiful place with the most incredible team.
Thank you, Full Moon Resorts, for everything! -

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! -

We had our wedding at full moon resort and all I can say is WOW!!!! The staff are absolutely incredible, pay attention to detail and are very responsive during planning. The venue itself is gorgeous - feels like you’re at a boujee summer camp, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. The food is above average wonderful for a wedding venue. Especially the sashimi tuna cones at cocktail hour! Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how much they loved our wedding and venue. Would recommend full moon to anyone!! -

Kelly Sent on 05/19/2024Stop 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 ;). -

Highly recommend!
We had our dream wedding at FMR in November 2023. The staff was impeccable (especially my day of coordinators, I could not have survived the day without them)! I brought my decor/florals and they set it all up for me based on my vision and it ended up absolutely beautiful. Food and drinks were fantastic at both our rehearsal BBQ, reception, and after party, as well as the service. The after party at the roadhouse was sooo fun! Our accommodations were gorgeous, and our family and friends loved theirs as well. We were so lucky to have found FMR, it was truly a dream wedding weekend thanks to their professionalism and attention to detail.
P.S. We had MULTIPLE guests tell us it was the best wedding they’d ever been to! -

Full Moon Resort made our wedding absolutely magical! I was a complete bridezilla and there wasn’t a single crazy idea or request that this team didn't meet with a smile and great attitude. I have very high standards and our experience working with the Full Moon Resort team exceeded my expectations! I wanted a lot of unique, customizations from the food to the floor plan layout to the locations on the property for the various parts of our celebration, they truly made everything I want happen. They staff was really accommodating of our older guests who needed assistance around the property, and were also so respectful of our religious practices for Shabbat on Friday night. I was not an easy bride to say the least, and leading up to the big day when the weather was looking cold and rainy, the staff really helped brighten things up for me with your cheerful attitudes.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding dreams come true.
The chef needs his own review bc he was outstanding! It's a lot of food to prepare and every dish throughout the weekend spectacular (that is saying a lot coming from a Food Network employee)! I wanted an over the top cocktail hour spread and the chef worked with me hand in hand to make it everything I dreamed of! He was also so accommodating to all our guests dietary restrictions.
What truly makes a good party are the drinks and the head of the beverages really worked with us on a custom bar with signature drinks that our guests raved about!
Last but not least, the reception team at Full Moon is truly top notch! We had to make many room changes and they were so patient dealing with us and our guests. We had a guest show up who did not rsvp or make a reservation to surprise us and they quickly found him accommodations on site.
The entire team was really on top of it all. It was a pleasure working together! Full Moon Resort is truly magical and what makes it even more special is all the staff. I highly recommend the venue and the team!!! -

Serena Sent on 01/06/2024Better than I could have imagined
There’s not a single thing I would have changed, and I was nervous as all hell going in. All our non-Full Moon-related wedding planning was so stressful that, as the weekend approached, I started getting worried that the whole thing wouldn’t be worth it. Trust me when I say: it was worth it and then some.
The site is gorgeous - the exact combination of spaciousness and intimacy that we were looking for. We really wanted a place where everyone could stay onsite, and where we wouldn’t be forced into a crappy hotel bar at 11pm when the venue closed. We got the adult summer camp experience of our dreams. Placing all our guests in their accommodations was definitely an intense logic puzzle, but that level of hands-on was exactly what we wanted, and the tiered price points made it possible for basically all our guests to stay onsite with us.
The food is AMAZING. I was definitely nervous signing a contract without getting to try anything, especially since we had gone to other tastings and been underwhelmed. But we loved everything we picked out (still dreaming about that duck) and got compliment after compliment on the food. Pro-tip: pace yourself at that tasting day…
The staff went above and beyond. They've got to be the nicest people in the business. Morgan, Tia, Kayla, Nikki, Paul, our catering staff, security - everyone we came in contact with made us feel welcome and taken care of. From the moment we arrived, my heartbeat started to slow down. They made it possible to stop worrying and actually enjoy our own wedding. And it doesn’t feel like a wedding factory! These are people who love people, and their personal touches were so appreciated.
I would have loved to have had a wedding planner overall to help manage the craziness (I produce theater, I thought a wedding would be a piece of cake...nope!), but you really don't need a day of coordinator here. The staff takes care of everything, seamlessly. And even in the lead up, they're extremely organized and communicative. They keep you on top of all the decisions you have to make, and walk you through the process clearly and thoroughly.
Our guests have been gushing about our wedding all year, and it’s all thanks to Full Moon. I hope we have friends who wind up getting married here down the line, because I desperately want an excuse to come back. -

Jake Sent on 01/06/2024Exceptional service that accommodates personal preferences
The TL;DR of this review is that we were very lucky to book with Full Moon when we did; everything about our experience was much better than we had a right to expect for our budget, and what impressed me the most was how naturally their service and program matched itself to the personal choices we made throughout. This is a professional wedding venue that will still support your idiosyncratic preferences. I truly cannot recommend them enough.
HIGHLIGHTS:
FOOD. Everyone else has said it, but the food is bonkers good. We tried multiple venues with integrated catering and this was just no comparison. The duck was worth tears. Accommodations for dietary restrictions were consistent and comprehensive. We are artist millennials with a bunch of friends with a variety of millennial allergies and intolerances. Even a 12-person dinner is often an impossible logic problem. Full Moon handled that ish with no problem, sweat, or extra charge. The chef should have a national award.
SERVICE. Morgan was our top-line coordinator but Kayla and Nikki were the front-line coordinators working with us. They did an amazing job not panicking when the bride's mother held up the ceremony by 20 minutes. We are type-A people, with some type-A members of our families, and the entire coordinating staff did a great job not only stepping in when necessary but stepping BACK when necessary when they saw us taking the wheel, especially on our little jewish-secular hybrid wedding. They got lunch to the bridal party, kept an eye on everyone clutch's location, and even wrote us some great advice in our advice boxes. Personal touches throughout! Tia did a great job on preshow management too, and even Paul who toured us on the venue was a warm and welcoming presence. The team just made it impossible not to have a wonderful experience. Everything went right, and we've done enough producing to know that's not a coincidence -- it's because of the diligence of the organization and the people working there.
THE LOCATION: We always wanted onsite accommodations somewhere beautiful. We got it. I will tell you right now: if you're looking at Full Moon, you might get some grousing from people who are looking for the cheapest possible accommodation. Encourage them to stay on-site. Are the basic rooms the height of luxury? No. But every time we see someone who was at our wedding, they tell us it was the best one they went to all year. It's because of the on-site. We were all at summer camp together for a perfect weekend in May. And the mountains! It was dreamy.
Here's the real tip. We got a major discount because we saw the venue in December and agreed to take an open date in May. This was nuts for us on the planning side, but it meant that we had a lot of room to negotiate with the folks at Full Moon. You will not get every discount you can imagine, but when you book with Full Moon you're dealing with real humans the whole way down -- which means they are available for any conversation you want to have around pricing, plans, extras, etc. How often do you go through something like this without feeling nickeled and dimed by the vendor? Not once did we have that feeling with Full Moon. They're the greatest. Six stars. -

Samantha Sent on 11/26/2023The Best Venue!
We got married at Full Moon Resort October 20-22nd weekend and truly had the most amazing weekend! From our first visit with Paul over a year before our wedding, we knew this venue was special. We were looking for a venue where the majority of our guests could stay on-site, spend quality time together and escape in nature. Full Moon provided all of that and more! We got so many compliments on how much people enjoyed the setting, meeting in the barn for their meals and the full weekend of programming from the welcome dinner and bonfire, to yoga the morning of the wedding, farewell brunch and being able to explore the property and nearby towns.
The staff went above and beyond to make sure all of our requests were taken care of and our questions were answered - and trust me I had a lot! Even though Full Moon was juggling planning multiple weddings (50+ to be exact), they always made me feel like I had their undivided attention and were willing to get on as many calls as I wanted starting from the day we signed the contract.
When it came to the day of the wedding, we knew we were in great hands! I was a very hands on bride and Morgan, Nikki and Clare are true pros and gave me full confidence to let go and enjoy the day myself! They managed the entire timeline including some last minute weather changes.
We are still receiving compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the food, stunning venue and full weekend experience.
Thank you to the entire Full Moon Staff especially Morgan and Tia!!

Most magical weekend ever!
We got married at Full Moon on 9/15-17/2023 and truly had the best and most magical weekend of our lives! From start to finish the Full Moon team was extremely organized and kept us organized as well. Morgan was our main day-of-coordinator and answered zillions of questions throughout our 9 month planning process, and Tia was our main reservations and logistics person for the housing. They were both fantastic to work with, very responsive and very helpful in figuring out solutions for all of our questions. The larger team including Kayla, Claire, Nicole, Josh were all also awesome, very kind, and flexible. Michael and Paul helped us with the initial venue visit and contract and were very professional.
We really wanted to have a wedding where many of our friends and family could stay nearby or on-site, and combine some summer camp vibes with an Indian wedding, and Full Moon really nailed it! We had a Sangeet, games day, golf-cart baarat, outdoor ceremony and reception across various parts of the venue. Everyone had an amazing time (including us!) and multiple friends said it was one of the most fun and unique weddings they'd attended!
Chef Adam worked with us closely to create an Indian fusion menu, and the food was truly delicious (even per our family members visiting from India). Specifically the Indian fish dish and pau bhaji were amazing. All the American fare for lunches/breakfasts was also great. We missed our cocktail hour food due to photos, but guests said all the hors d'oeuvres (Indian and American) were great too!
Setting up the housing logistics was definitely a challenging puzzle, but Tia walked us through as much as she could. Wedding planning is definitely stressful, but FMR made it as smooth as it could be, and we would highly recommend the venue to anyone who wants an outdoor fun wedding in a beautiful serene landscape with excellent food and services!
Some recommendations to make your lives easier if you choose this venue:
1. Fewer but better cooked Indian dishes is the way to go, and you can bring some Indian sweets of your own.
2. Figure out how cake cutting will occur if you want it in front of guests
3. 1000% play games on Sat on the fields- our morning field day was many guests favorite part of the weekend!
4. Visually map out your accommodation and table seating charts on Google Sheets before translating them into FMR docs
5. Ensure you have non-immediate family responsible for paying vendors on the day. Assign an aunt, cousin, close family friend to keep track of the checks/cash.

Do you remember going to your cousin Tommy's wedding at the Marriott in that random business park? No, you don't. If you want a truly memorable experience for you and your loved ones, wed at FMR. I defy anyone to forget it after staying there. My wife and I married here this past weekend and were blown away by the experience. And the value for your money is absolutely there: the 100 acre grounds are stunning, the accommodations clean and comfortable, and the food delicious. Unlike similar mountain resorts, the overall aesthetic of this place is not at all kitschy or too in-your-face, but instead allows the natural beauty to take center stage. The staff are truly incredible people; each person I encountered was not only professional, but also kind and welcoming. 11/10, would do it 100x over. -

Teresa Sent on 07/18/2023Best Weekend of Our Lives!!!! (From the Bride & Groom 💍)
Deciding to have our wedding at Full Moon was the best decision we could have made. My (now husband) and I were a bit late to the planning game and were thrilled when Full Moon had an opening the weekend of July 15 for our wedding.
As soon as we visited the property, we knew it was perfect for us. Not only were the picturesque surroundings breathtaking, but we loved that all of our friends and family could stay on site. Moreover, FMR and their incredible team provide everything you could need including amazing food, pre and day-of coordination, as well as recommendations for vendors such as florists, photographers, etc. to make planning as easy as possible.
From the start of our planning journey, the staff was impeccable. Kind, warm, knowledgable and extremely on top of everything. They were patient and accommodating, and just a joy to get to know. From their chef, to bar manager, to event manager and everyone in between, we could not have asked to encounter a kinder group of people.
The food was AMAZING; breakfast, lunch, and dinners were all delicious. Multiple people said this was the best wedding food they've had. We opted for the tapas style and got an amazing mix of passed hors d'oeuvres and entrees. Special mention to the custom mozzarella sticks they made for us, as well as the coconut shrimp which you should absolutely not miss.
We had a delicious funfetti cake prepared in-house (I definitely recommend having FMR make your cake, they're so talented and the cakes are GORGEOUS), and they also accommodated two special beverage requests for the night-before BBQ (a rum punch) and the reception (make your own gin and tonics with local garnishes—I mean, come on!).
We had a gorgeous cocktail hour on the lawn prior to the reception and it was one of the most stunning settings (plus an amazing meat and cheese board which is very important to me :)
The after party was at the Roadhouse, their on-site bar, and that was an absolute blast. They also delivered some late-night pizzas which were must-appreciated by our guests.
The accommodations were lovely and I can't stress enough how special it was to have everyone stay on sight. Everyone go to know each other and bond over the weekend; so many unexpected and wonderful connections were made.
My husband and I can quite literally say this was the best weekend of our lives so if you're looking for a place to get married in upstate NY, this is the place to do it. We're eternally grateful to the FMR staff! They are genuinely people I would love to stay in touch with going forward. -

Incredible
Our wedding weekend was a snowy dream come true thanks to FMR. The venue, the grounds, and the accommodations are so cozy, well maintained, and beautiful. It felt like home. Somehow in the middle of no where in the Catskills tucked away in a scenic valley, the chef is able to put together gourmet delicious meals. From the BBQ, to the breakfasts, lunches and cocktail hour/reception meals, our guests were raving about the quality and taste of each meal. Lastly, the staff was so generous and made us feel so comfortable and ensured we had an amazing time from start to finish. Anything we asked for was there at the drop of a hat. Morgan, Claire, Katlyn, Kayla, Tia, Nicole, and the whole team made us feel less like clients and more like we were part of the full moon family. -

Chris Sent on 02/21/2023Full moon resort is incredible
The first and most important thing to say about Full Moon Resort is that the staff is simply incredible. The scenery is majestic, the food is delicious, and the wedding experience from both the couple and the guests perspective is unforgettable. But the staff here is what truly sets this place apart. From the moment we arrived on the property for our first walkthrough, we were greeted with friendly smiles and warm welcoming attitudes. We met with Paul the sales manager who walked us through the Full Moon Wedding experience and all that the property could offer both us and our guests. Paul drove us around and enthusiastically helped us visualize how the weekend would go. He was engaging, informative, and passionate about his job and the venue in general. Full Moon offered exactly what we were looking for, a close-to-nature style wedding surrounded by family and friends in one location.
Once we decided to move forward with booking Full Moon Paul handed us over to the wedding coordination team. We personally worked closely with Tia and Morgan who were both fantastic. Tia was the reservations specialist/coordinator and she helped us navigate everything from what to include in our save the dates and invitations all the way through finalizing reservations and room assignments for our guests. They were always flexible and quick to respond.
Morgan went above and beyond for us to help us make our wedding everything we could have hoped for and more. She was always positive and spent a lot of time with us on the phone going over things line by line to make sure we were on the same page and nothing fell through the cracks. My wife came up with an idea for our florist to teach a floral arranging workshop the morning of our wedding, but first she ran in by Morgan to get the go ahead. Morgan was really into the idea and took time out of her schedule to hop on a call with our florist to make sure it all went off without a hitch. Throughout the entire process from start to finish Morgan was by our side making sure by the time we got to FMR for our wedding weekend there were no loose ends left. We always say we could not have done it without her and that’s a fact.
Aside from the key players we worked closely with every member of the staff was just fantastic. Additional shoutouts to Josh, Phoebe, and Alexis. Our guests felt well taken care of and there is just a homey, comfortable vibe that makes you as the couple feel 100% certain you made the right choice.
All of the spaces the wedding weekend unfolded in had their own special touches about them. The barn was where we held our welcome BBQ, cocktail hour, breakfasts and lunches. It is SO much fun going to the barn to have breakfast the morning of your wedding and seeing all your guests enjoying their meals and chatting with one another. Breakfast in the barn is also a really special post-wedding event because you have the chance to have one last moment with all of your guests and recap the night.
We held our wedding ceremony in the lower grove and it was such a magical and serene place to get married. We suffered a little bit of misfortune - it started to rain pretty heavily during our ceremony - however thanks to the FMR staff everyone had umbrellas and we were able to enjoy the ceremony despite the bad weather - which ended, and quickly made way for a spectacular double rainbow!
The reception that evening was all that we could have asked for. The warmly lit space held our 105 gusts perfectly with plenty of space for dancing. We opted for the Tapas style dinner and we were super happy with the result. The food was ready on time, each dish was plated thoughtfully, and each bite was delicious. The tapas style dinner was well received by our guests who were excited about the idea of trying multiple dishes, eating until they were full and doing it at their own pace. Chef Adam and his team did a wonderful job with all aspects of the culinary experience. Having been guests at many weddings ourselves it was nice to know that none of our guests would go to bed hungry after a full day.
Thank you Full Moon Resort for making our Wedding Weekend everything we could have ever asked for and more, our guests still wont stop raving about it.

Alison Sent on 12/28/2022Wonderful Venue for a Wedding
My husband and I got married at Full Moon in early September and it was wonderful. From the moment we booked the venue, we were impressed by the level of communication and customer service. The event managers are fantasticl, they helped us to ensure that wedding was everything we wanted and more. They coordinated with us and our vendors to make sure that the whole weekend went smoothly.
It was amazing to have most of our friends and families on the venue with us for the weekend. The venue is gorgeous, and we were able to tailor the decorations and the events to meet our needs. In addition to amazing memories of our welcome BBQ, ceremony and reception, we also have amazing memories of the kids and our families running round the grounds, people going for hikes, playing by the pool, and being able to get ready on site while visiting with our guests.
The whole weekend was amazing, but the best part, was the food. It’s three months later and our guests are still talking about how good the food was. The chef worked with us to create a custom menu for the welcome BBQ used some of my MIL’s Cuban recipes. The food at the reception was delicious, not a dry piece of chicken to be found. And the cake was beautiful as well as delicious. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married.

Katie Sent on 11/22/2022A Perfect Autumn Wedding
We got married at Full Moon 10/15/2022, and it was the best weekend of our lives. We have family from all around the country, and loved the idea of having a full weekend of events, all in the same place, at a private resort where everyone could stay on the property. Full Moon really delivered on all our venue requirements. First of all, the scenery was STUNNING, and we hit the peak of fall foliage just right. People loved the "Welcome BBQ" in the barn Friday night. We had people dress up in Western outfits, and the father of the grooms' band played live music. People even got to enjoy roasting S'mores at the fire pit right outside the barn. On Saturday morning, guests walked around the grounds and did local activities, like visit Woodstock. Our ceremony was outside near the creek (but they had a solid back up plan under a tent in case of inclement weather). It was a little chilly outside, and the staff was more than happy to provide warm cider at the ceremony site. Our reception was in the "Moondance Pavilion," which comfortably fit our 175 people, but we did not even use the upstairs loft, and was perfect for dancing the night away. Our guests raved about the food, both at cocktail hour and dinner. I was impressed that they were able to serve a perfectly cooked steak to that many people! The afterparty took place in the Roadhouse Tavern right across the road (~2 min walk), which kept the energy going and offered late night snacks. To cap it off, Sunday brunch in the barn was delicious, and the perfect way to send off our friends and family.
Not only was the actual wedding so seamless, thanks to their clear experience throwing events, the planning process was very easy. From our first tour in Jan 2021, we felt welcomed by the staff, and could tell they were very capable. We had our tasting in Nov 2021, and got to meet with all the staff to choose food and beverages. The resort has a variety of cabins and "ski lodge style" houses, and when we visited the venue, we got to tour every room at the resort to help decide where to place our friends and family. Throughout the planning process, Tia was amazing at helping us coordinate the rooming situation. I will say that this was more complicated than organizing a seating chart, but in the end, our guests were very happy with the accommodations. We did not hire a separate wedding planner. While it took a lot of effort from us to coordinate and organize guest lists, working with Morgan and Phoebe and all of the full moon staff made it very easy to execute our vision. Morgan and Phoebe were amazing, not only from our meetings 1-2 months out, but they took over everything during the wedding weekend. Phoebe frequently checked in on me (the bride), brought me drinks and water, and even helped me change into my afterparty dress.
It was a fantastic experience, and if a rustic/outdoorsy resort for the whole weekend is for you, then we couldn't recommend it more! -

Sophie Sent on 07/13/2022Book this venue NOW!!!
Wow - where to begin!!! Getting married at Full Moon Resort was far and away the BEST decision we made as a couple - we cannot begin to describe how magical this place is and how wonderful its people are, but we will give it a try...
First - location and ambience - it had exactly what we were looking for - beautiful outdoor spaces, different buildings, all events being on site to avoid any travel headaches / coordination, the ability for 110+ guests to stay on site with you, etc. The ceremony site is a DREAM and I cannot tell you how relaxed I felt the day of my wedding watching friends and family gather and hang out on the lawn and play games. So fun!! There are so many locations on site too so you don't feel like you're repeating the motions with every event - BBQ can be in the barn, ceremony by the water, reception in the Pavilion, and the after party in the best dive-bar-y place "Roadhouse." Again - all 10000% walkable and so so easy.
Second - the people. From our first conversation with Full Moon, we knew we were in good hands. The people who work here are absolute professionals, know how to throw and manage a wedding, and are simply the kindest and most excited people to work with. They do this EVERY WEEKEND (twice!!) and I still always felt like I was a priority. My questions were answered quickly, they were always willing to get on the phone to chat anything through. The wedding weekend itself went off without a hitch because they were so well organized. I DID NOT hire a wedding planner, and do not regret that decision for a second given how amazing they were. I was always in excellent hands.
Third - food - truly amazing. Breakfast, lunch, and both dinners were superb. People came up to us and told us it was some of the best steak they had ever had (not just at a wedding... ever!). The chef was great during tasting and sat with us to chat through our options.
I really could go on and on... but needless to say, we will be thinking about this weekend for the rest of our lives. Honestly can't believe how perfect this weekend was and how much FUN I had (with very limited stress) throughout. If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful place run by amazing, attentive individuals where all your guests can relax for the weekend - THIS IS YOUR SPOT. Run don't walk -

Most unique wedding weekend you and your family will ever experience!
Full Moon Resort was a terrific venue, and we recommend them wholeheartedly. The minute we stepped at the venue we knew we would love it. They were very easy to work with throughout the planning process--we had a lovely tour with our families, and very much enjoyed the tasting session they offer for all couples. There is a lot of work involved in terms of assigning people to rooms (it is your responsibility as the couple to assign them like you would assign table seating) and deciding on a menu, but the preparation is very much worth it. We had a wonderful time on our wedding weekend--the staff was truly outstanding and thought of EVERYTHING even before we did. The food was fantastic, and there was plenty to eat for everyone. From breakfast, lunch and dinner it was all so so so good. A number of our guests had dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, food allergies, etc) and all said that there was plenty of delicious food for them to eat, unlike other weddings they’ve attended. The drinks were fantastic, the cake was delicious and so so beautiful. The service was perfect, all the event spaces and lodging areas were beautiful. The staff was terrific in terms of keeping everything flowing effectively. The value, especially for a winter wedding, is really unmatched, and we evaluated dozens of venues. It was a perfect location, a perfect wedding, and we recommend them without reservation. I think people get this a lot, but we’ve had friends months later tell us it was their favorite and most fun wedding venue they’d ever been too. Thank you so much to Alexis, Morgan, Tia, Consuelo and everyone at the FMR! -

Adi D. Sent on 05/19/2022Best Decision Ever
The best decision we made in the planning process of our wedding was choosing Full Moon Resort. From beginning to end they were helpful, flexible, responsive, and thoughtful.
Throughout the lead up, the coordinators for rooms and and event production, Morgan and Tia, were quick to respond and so incredibly helpful. Since we were a postponed wedding from June 2021, in the time between our original signing (March 2020) and our actual wedding (May 2022), some of their policies had changed. Both of them were so flexible with us in honoring our first agreement.
Full Moon had space to accommodate majority of our wedding guests to sleep on site, in a variety of buildings. We spent a great deal of time and energy ensuring guests were in comfortable lodging appropriately priced for them (full moon has a range). This was definitely the height of pressure we felt planning, but made the rest (seating chart etc,) feel like a breeze. Additionally, it provided a major benefit that made our wedding so incredible for us- everyone was a short walk away from the reception and after party.
On the wedding weekend, the staff was exceptional. Nearly every guest we spoke to had wonderful things to say about the staff going above and beyond. They made sure all the dietary needs of our guests and vendors were met. Our weekend had lots of unpredictable rain (including in the middle of the outdoor ceremony). Full moon shuttled our guests where they needed to be, and moved umbrellas from place to place to make sure guests stayed dry.
Because it's an all inclusive wedding venue, so many things that in other circumstances might have been stressful, were taken off our plates by full moon (ex: moving our cooler and drinks around for day time events, when a guest handed us a gift in the middle of an event, someone always offered to bring it to our room for us, and so much more).
Despite the rain, there were so many indoor/outdoor covered spaces for our guests to be, so even those who were very COVID-conscious had options to stay included.
The food was incredible-- both from our perspective and the guest perspective. We saw clean plates at our reception and heard so many good things. The food at related events (breakfast, lunch, bbq dinner) was also equally delicious.
Overall, our wedding weekend at full moon was magical from start to finish. You will not be disappointed if you choose Full Moon Resort. -

Perfect Hindu Wedding Weekend
My wife and I held our wedding at Full Moon Resort in May 2022, and could not have dreamed for a more perfect weekend. In searching for a wedding venue, we wanted a location that could house guests on-site, cater to an Indian and all-vegetarian menu and that had a woods/mountainous ambiance. Full Moon Resort hit all three of those priorities out of the park and went so far beyond our expectations!
From the start, the FMR team was phenomenal. Paul was our first contact. He gave us a great tour, and was very upfront with all the relevant costs and best ways to utilize the resort to fulfill our vision of a Hindu wedding. Our conversations with him made for a seamless, and quick, negotiation of the event contract. Once we signed on, the FMR event team was so supportive. From Tia helping us organize our guests across FMR's lodging to Morgan and Alexis' support on planning all the on-site logistics to Phoebe, Roberto and team executing our design vision with perfection and being by our side all weekend to ensure everything was well taken care of.
The food and drinks were also beyond fantastic. Adam's team in the kitchen provided superb meals all weekend - including catering to a group of guests that had very particular dietary needs. It was also so special to us to serve an all-vegetarian Indian menu the night of our wedding. Josh was also instrumental in helping us put together a great wine and beer selection.
Our guests were also extremely comfortable in all the lodgings. We utilized all of FMR's housing, except for the satellite locations, and received all positive feedback from our guests.
We truly could not have had a more magical wedding weekend. We highly recommend other couples seeking a resort-style wedding weekend to strongly consider Full Moon Resort. You won't find another venue with more natural beauty or a more helpful and friendly staff than Full Moon Resort. -

We (finally) threw our wedding at Full Moon 2 weekends ago and we would recommend them over and over and over again! From the second we stepped foot on the property to take a tour over 3 years ago until the day we drove off the property after our celebration (they even called to say they found my jacket/wallet and shipped them to NJ for us) everything was like a dream. We were scheduled to have our wedding on March 28, 2020 and on March 14th we had to make the impossible decision to postpone our big day due to Covid.
Full Moon worked us every step of the way through 2 postponements and the craziness that was the pandemic. They made sure we were taken care of and that our guests wanted for nothing.
As a bride, I’ve truly never felt so heard and valued as I did during our wedding weekend. Morgan, Tia, Phoebe, Alexis, Katelyn, and every single other person involved made sure it was the perfect day we waited 3 years for!
Our guests truly couldn’t stop raving about the food, the grounds, the hospitality, and the unique vibe only Full Moon can guarantee. The most amazing mix of antique, modern, personal, artsy, and privately perfect. You truly can’t go wrong with Full Moon. -

Exceeded All Expectations
After a two year long wait due to the pandemic we were finally able to have our winter wedding weekend of our dreams! I was concerned that my expectations would be too high after planning and building our wedding up in my mind that long. However, Full Moon Resort and their wonderful staff exceeded all my expectations. I could not have imagined a more special weekend in the Catskill Mountains with family and friends to start our marriage.
All of the food was amazing, not just the food for the reception. I cannot stress this enough! They hosted our rehearsal dinner and provided breakfasts and lunches for our guests who stayed at the resort for the weekend. We really enjoyed being able to see our guests at breakfast and lunches to have more time to catch up with everyone.
They are experts at what they do. Alexis, Phoebe were our event mangers. They made us feel very special and ensured our day went off without any issues. Kaitlyn , whose exact title I cannot recall because she wore so many hats over the weekend, was the ultimate problem solver.
During the planning process we had some family emergencies that had impacted our ability to meet some of the deadlines that they outlined for us, but Full Moon, especially Tia the Front Desk Manager, were very understanding of our situation and accommodating to our families needs. We really cannot thank them enough for that.
All in all, I cannot express how wonderful Full Moon Resort it is. It is a very special place and I would recommend it to anyone. I really hope I can be a guest at Full Moon Resort wedding someday. -

Beautiful and Unique Mountain Wedding
We cannot thank Full Moon enough for the amazing wedding weekend we had. Our original wedding date was a week before NY went on full lock down so we had to cancel due to covid. The resort was so flexible and easy to work with to get the wedding rescheduled, not once, but twice. They really worked with us to make sure we had the wedding we had originally planned and everything went beautifully. It made waiting almost an extra 2 years full worth it. The grounds are breathtaking, especially on days like the foggy winter days we had. Alexis and Morgan were always quick to respond to us and really helped to make the weekend special.
If you're hesitating to go for a visit, I highly recommend you do so and see it for yourself. Pictures don't do it justice and it's really worth seeing for yourself. It's a great blend of rustic cabin getaway and chic mountain resort. We were so happy with how everything went and we can't recommend them more highly for your event. You won't regret it! -

I cannot say enough about the venue and team at Full Moon. They truly made all our dreams come true. We worked with them for over a year, spanning 3 weddings dates due to covid, and at every step they were kind, accomodating, and positive. But none of this prepared us for how truly incredible the event and the magical staff would be. The setting is breathtaking. The food, mouthwater. The team, above and beyond. And the value, INSANE. 6 Months later we still have guests reaching out to say what a great time they had and how much they want to go back. It's hard to capture what a tight and welcoming ship they run - but I urge you if you're on the fence GO WITH FULL MOON. You will be so happy you did! -

I know everyone is biased about their own wedding, but from start to finish Full Moon was attentive, generous, kind, and so dedicated to helping us make our vision a reality. Truly, when we chose the venue, Paul, the co-owner was so happy and proud that we loved it, he was emotional! That is the level of care they put into their venue and the heart they put into their clients experiences. Morgan was also so attentive, so detail oriented- they have it all down to a science without it feeling "cookie-cutter" or losing connection with their clients. It was truly a dream come true. We had to postpone due to covid and they were so helpful and kind throughout the process. It made everything that much more worth it. We also loved how much you could DIY if you wished. All our guests loved their cabins and it was truly a night to remember. Don't hesitate with choosing Full Moon! -

The most magical and beautiful venue!
We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Full Moon Resort, there are not enough stars to rate how amazing this place is! Knowing we wanted something with a rustic vibe that was unique while still being upscale - we fell in love with the venue and property the first time we visited. Nestled within the Catskill mountains, the property is truly breathtaking at any time of year (we originally visited in the Winter and the snow on the ground made everything look and feel like a beautiful Winter Wonderland). From the day we started planning all the way through and even after our wedding day, Michael and the entire staff at Full Moon Resort could not have been more wonderful to work with as well as accommodating along the way. Having been a pandemic couple and needing to reschedule our date a few times, the team was always quick to reach out with updates and ensure we had a perfect date set once things were safe enough to do so. We really lucked out and were married Columbus Day weekend in the Fall which was a beautiful weekend surrounded by the most incredible Fall Foliage. Our memories and pictures are incredibly beautiful and every part of the property speaks to this upstate charm. From the minute we arrived, all of our guests were in complete awe of the property and experience, we could not have asked for a more special place to share our big day with everyone we loved. Our ceremony was held by the creek in the woods and was beautiful, peaceful and serene. Due to some light rain our cocktail hour was moved to the barn which was another awesome building on the property, the staff was quick to respond to the weather and make sure everything still turned out perfect throughout the night. The reception venue is brand new and expansive, allowing plenty of space for any size party. It is beautifully designed and having loved this part of NY already, we really appreciated all the Woodstock and upstate touches throughout. The cabins, houses and other accommodations on property are all unique, well furnished and designed. With many rooms options available, most if not all guests are able to stay on property which really added to the experience as we were able to spend extra time with all of our guests throughout the weekend which was something that was important to us. From the cocktail hour, to the reception to the afterparty, our guests raved about the food, drinks and friendly staff - in fact most if not all of our family and friends told us it was the most fun they had ever had and already asked when we can return for another event. Our wedding was magical and truly a dream come true! If you are looking for an incredibly unique, beautiful and fun experience, Full Moon Resort has it all! We cannot wait to return here for another event or visit in the future. -

Kelly Sent on 10/29/2021Magical Venue!!
Full Moon Resort was the first venue we checked out and our wedding proved to us that sometimes things really are that easy!
If you can’t read this long review, to sum it up: just book this place.
If you need reasons, here:
We got married here this past Monday and I could not wait to leave this place a RAVING REVIEW. Because if you want a spectacular wedding weekend that you can ACTUALLY ENJOY AS BRIDE OR GROOM, this is the PLACE!
The best food is served here, and you get to have it more than just once. The grounds are magical. The staff is attentive. A lot of the newly renovated bathrooms have heat-radiated floors (!!). You get to plan a custom-tailored event here and get to be whisked around to enjoy it. The staff makes sure you are having a good time.
We booked our wedding a year out, and got help from our coordinator, Morgan, immediately & every step of the way. She made sure we were aware of every decision we would have to make well in advance, so we had no last-minute scrambles. Throughout the whole process, she was there to help and quick to reply to any and every question we had. She was so organized and professional, and we really got the sense she loves her job.
A tricky part of this venue is the couple gets to create a room chart. Something we knew would be a challenge, but our coordinator for this, Tia, made it EASY. She was also there for any questions we had or last-minute trouble shooting. She was also fast to help our guests out and incredibly understanding. Creating the chart was a key part of the experience, we were able to place old friends together and family near each other. It was totally worth the undertaking and made our weekend special.
On our first day we were introduced to another coordinator, Alexis, who was (surprise surpise) ALSO AMAZING. She was so damn cool and helpful. She kept her eyes on the weather (since we had a fire & s’mores going outside) and let us know everything that was going on without distracting from our night. Through the whole weekend, she always seemed to know what we wanted!
Anytime we had a question, the staff made sure to have a thorough answer. I was diagnosed with a dairy allergy (yes, butter too) in the middle of the process and was worried I’d go hungry/they wouldn’t understand. I was FULL AND FED the whole weekend, the food I had available to me was amazing, and the staff was able to tell me exactly what went into everything. I was able to confidently sit down at our sweetheart table and chow down with out a paranoid “are we sure this doesn’t have dairy in it?” My vegan friends didn’t have to turn to their emergency trail-mix. Trust me, everyone will have a great time.
The people that work here clearly love & have pride in what they do. This review could go on forever, I just want to add a few more shot outs. Great Bar Manager, Josh Brown, really cool guy who knew what he was doing. Consuela, head of catering, ridiculous sweet & made sure we were fed. I felt like I’d get in trouble if I didn’t eat (in a good way lol). Devin & Jake, a few of our awesome bartenders. Michael, who humbly introduceds us, who did sound and set a whole lot up. John Hanley, who brought us to the ceremony and made sure we knew we didn’t have to rush home. There was an overnight coordinator, Kaitlin. She made sure we knew who to reach in case of emergency (because you are in the middle of nowhere).
The list could go on and on because the staff was really that great but I was a bit inebriated the entire time so names get blurry!!
Since we had so much support with the planning, we were able to communicate what goes where upon arrival and then enjoy the weekend we created with our friends. We can’t stop thinking about it, so if you want a magical & memorable weekend celebrating your love with your friends that you can actually enjoy, check this place out!!
Then whole weekend was magical and I don’t think I will ever stop reeling.

Our wedding at Full Moon was pure magic. The staff in incredible and just so good at what they do. The food was amazing (one of my only regrets is not thanking the chef personally!), and everything and anything that I had concerns about were addressed and handled and literally nothing went wrong. If you have a dream like we did to have a 2 day grownup drunk summer camp party but with fancy dresses - get married here. Legit it will be the best wedding anyone has gone to. 10 outta 10. -

Beyond Our Wildest Wedding Dreams
A huge thank you to Henry and his incredible Full Moon team for helping us to have the most perfect wedding "weekend" (we got married on a Tuesday!)
From start to finish, our Full Moon experience was beyond our wildest dreams. It is truly a spectacularly magical wedding venue and all around experience. Me and my husband got married here in September 2019. As a base, we were looking for a venue where our wedding guests could come and unwind for a few day all together, without worrying about driving around to different locations. Full Moon delivered that and more for us! The fact that you are surrounded by nature, have perfect accommodations, amazing pavilions and barns to have you special day in, and phenomenal food at every meal, was such a bonus!
Even though our initial tour took place during a blizzard in February, we could instantly tell how truly amazing this place is. Our initial meeting and tour with Michael was perfect. He was so knowledgeable and had great recommendations for vendors.
Leighann we so helpful and patient in getting us and our guests all set in their accommodations. Stephanie was incredible as our wedding planner in everything from meal choices, helping us in great detail to figure out the flow of the two days there, day of set up, and even to our departure in making sure we had everything. Hands down, we couldn't have had a better wedding experience! -

The most amazing wedding venue!
Full Moon is an absolutely beautiful venue -- we couldn't be happier. The production staff (especially Stephanie, our coordinator!) are amazing. Everything was organized, their communication was outstanding, they were flexible and thoughtful.
Also, the food is truly delightful. We had steak and salmon (fairly simple) and numerous people commented on it being the most delicious meal they'd had in a long time.
It's a bit of a journey to get everyone up there, but even those who were skeptical at first (why are you having your wedding all the way up there?!) absolutely loved the weekend and commented on how unique and special it was. It's like a destination wedding close to home.
I could not recommend it more highly. If you're considering FMR, go for it! -

Outstanding Fall Wedding Weekend!
My husband and I are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out with our wedding at Full Moon Resort!!
The entire process of working with them was so smooth and stress-free. When we met with Paul in sales way back in early 2018 we spent hours touring the property and talking through our ideas for the wedding, and after that meeting we just knew this place would be special. We really wanted a weekend getaway/destination wedding vibe (rather than just renting a venue for a night), and Full Moon was the perfect choice.
We cannot rave enough about the customer service, every single staff member was very responsive, professional and easy to talk to. Everything from negotiating our contract with the owner Michael to ironing out the finer details with Stephanie was so easy and streamlined.
Quick shoutout to Stephanie - she truly made our wedding everything we wanted, and she is excellent at what she does! As many weddings do we had a lot of last minute changes and details to sort out, and no matter how many times we emailed (or how many family members would call) she always got back to us right away and helped us solve any problems that arose.
We were also incredibly impressed with how organized and responsive both LeighAnn and Tia were with our guests' lodging/reservations! We had a full house, every single room taken and a lot of our guests called to try and make changes, and they handled all of the reservations perfectly. It was a lot of fun building our own community there for the weekend, and it was a weight off of our shoulders not having to worry about minute details of each room for our guests.
Everyone who was on site on our wedding weekend (Oct 13-15th) was fantastic - the food was AMAZING (chef Adam is the BEST), the wait staff was awesome (and they really made me and my husband feel like celebrities), and other venue staff went above and beyond to accommodate everyone (including my elderly 90+ year old grandparents, they always had a golf cart ready to take them around!)
One more note - I love how they try to be as sustainable as possible, any leftover food was either taken by us, staff or donated to a local shelter, so nothing went to waste.
10 out of 10 would recommend, 1000000000% !!! -

All I can say is wow. My wife and I got married on a brisk November Saturday and we were concerned about a few things. As soon as we got there we started asking questions with Morgan, our assigned planner, like any overly nervous, overly overwhelmed wedding couple would do. Morgan and her staff at Full Moon made sure everything was in place, how we wanted it and then some. Whether it was getting into our reception pavilion early or even boxing up lunches for the bridal party for while they were getting ready, whatever we threw at them, they knocked out of the park. If we had one person come up, we had 40 people come up to us to say this was one of the best weddings we've been to. The food was absolutely spectacular, whether it was vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free meals, they all came out spot on. We are both very picky when it comes to food, but we left asking if we could make the 2 hours trip to pick up take out. If you're on the fence, please trust us, the setting, the lodging accommodations, the food, and the people are all well worth it. I wish we could do it all over again the same exact way, and if you don't take our word for it, go up and visit you'll thank us later.

Samantha Sent on 11/16/2019Amazing venue and staff
We could not be happier with our decision to get married at Full Moon. We had already been to see several other venues and as soon as we arrived at Full Moon we knew it was the one. The buildings and grounds are gorgeous and it has this wonderful, relaxed, warm vibe. (It didn't hurt that all the buildings are named for Grateful Dead songs and our family are all huge Deadheads!)
We cannot say enough good things about our event manager, Stephanie. She is quite possibly the only person I've ever met more organized than myself. She was so helpful through every stage of the process and incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the venue and planning. She was always so quick to respond to our emails and helped us manage our very tight wedding day schedule with calm and ease. Thank you Stephanie!!
The food was also incredible and we had a great experience working with Chef Adam to create a custom cake with fall-themed flavors. The staff was super accommodating of all our guests' dietary needs, and flexible with the menu overall - I was especially appreciative of this as a vegetarian myself.
Due to the nature of the venue with on-site lodging, we had quite a bit more organizational work to do with the venue staff than a typical hotel, but everything Full Moon sent us was incredibly organized. The front desk staff was also very helpful and responsive throughout the whole year of planning.
Thank you all so much - it was a magical wedding weekend! -

A mountain oasis
If you've found Full Moon, you can stop searching for other venues now! We were looking for a destination that was both magical and cozy for our wedding weekend and Full Moon was that and so much more. It was the first place that we visited (out of many), and from our first visit we were already envisioning how the entire weekend would go. Even though we had yet to see other options, we both seemed to feel that it was always going to be our choice. The setting is warm and welcoming and the staff are exceptionally service oriented and experienced in putting on beautiful affairs on the property (using the many different venues available). We liked the way that it was perfectly situated in the mountains - it was quiet and fostered an amazing connection and bond between all of the guests there (the lack of cell service is a PLUS), and all the while everything that needed to happen was taken care of behind the scenes by the attentive staff. The property provides such beautiful backdrops that your pictures are guaranteed to be absolutely stunning, regardless of what season. We were there in February, and even amidst a bit of drab and cold weather, it was picturesque and perfect. -

We got married at Full Moon Resort over Labor Day weekend and it was truly the most magical weekend of our lives. FM is absolutely gorgeous, and you'll save money on flowers because the resort's setting is so naturally beautiful. The weekend itself is so special because every guest can stay onsite, so you really feel like you get to spend time with everyone and not feel rushed. Our guests also said that they appreciated the slower pace of the weekend and it felt like a mini-vacation for them, with really comfortable rooms and delicious (I mean it!) food.
From start to finish over the 15 months of planning, FM were the most helpful people possible - Stephanie, the lead coordinator, responds so quickly to email and has great answers to any question, no matter how random, as she has produced so many weddings. The vendor recommendations that she provides are also really helpful because she's worked with nearly everyone in the Hudson Valley / Catskills area, so she knows where to direct you. LeighAnn and Tia from the room reservation team also ensure that what could be quite a fraught process (choosing rooms for all of your guests!) is super easy.
We've been back home and married for a month and the only thing we wish is that we could do it all over again. -

I got married at Full Moon Resort in spring 2019 after attending seven years of Music Masters Camps at the venue. From spending so much time there, I fell in love and knew it had to be my wedding location. Bringing all my friends and family there was the biggest gift I could have ever given. The energy, the people, the nature, the food, the vibe--everything becomes a haze of love.
The staff at Full Moon Resort is really willing to bring your vision to life however they possibly can. The event managers will help you through the entire process, and you (or a wedding planner) deal with booking third party vendors (flowers, music, etc). Your event manager will take care of everything the day/weekend of the actual wedding so you don’t have to worry.
Anyone who is able to fill the place with their favorite people is extremely lucky to have that experience. It's truly magical! -

June Wedding at Full Moon
If you’re considering FMR for your wedding venue, you should 100% book with them! They are phenomenal and I can’t imagine having had ours anywhere else. We got married in June and planned everything in a short 6 months (crazy I know!)! But the staff and coordinators there helped us through and literally made sure every little detail was accounted for.
Our wedding was on a Sunday, so the resort took care of all the set up of our decorations and everything was perfect! Melanie was our event coordinator and she made us feel calm and confident from the very start. We’re still in cloud 9 and so amazed that we had such a perfect wedding day. They truly do everything so the bride and groom can just enjoy their day, the way it should be!
We would choose full moon resort over and over without a doubt! -

Amanda Sent on 03/22/2019February 2019 ;Best Weekend
My husband and I got married at FMR on February 9th,2019. When we were searching for wedding venues, I think I read every single review for FMR so I want to make this at detailed as possible!
From our first phone call with Paul in October , we knew we really wanted to get married at Full Moon. We had a budget because we had other priorities in life ( like the fixer upper house we just bought), so Paul threw the idea out there of getting married in February ( 4 months later) on one of their winter discounted weekends. At first, we said “no way”. Then we arrived at Full Moon for our tour and realized we could have the amazing weekend long wedding we wanted at the gorgeous Full Moon IN OUR BUDGET and we went all in!
Given our time frame, everything happened pretty quickly and was a breeze. Our coordinator was Stephanie and she could not have been more perfect. She made everything simple and always answered our questions quickly, especially as it got closer to our date! From the moment we arrived at Full Moon for our wedding, Stephanie was on top of everything. It eased my mind so much on the day of the wedding knowing Stephanie had everything under control!
Given the short time frame, we were not able to squeeze in any time to see the guest rooms other than some photos, prior to assigning our guests their rooms for the weekend. My husband and I said, if we could get through the process of assigning everyone their rooms/cottages, we could basically get through anything. It was way more of a PITA than a seating chart and we must have thrown out about 5 drafts before we figured it out. However, it ended up working out great and everyone was happy with their rooms and we were happy that we were able to place the guests ourselves. That being said, LeighAnn and Ashley were so helpful throughout that entire process and even the week of the wedding, there were some cottages still under construction. LeighAnn came up with a Plan B that was Awesome and everyone ended up very happy! During check-in, there was an awesome table of assorted veggies, dips and chips and LeighAnn made the check-in process super simple for everyone, no complaints at all!!
Other than the rooms, the other minor anxiety I had was about the food. My family/friends are used to NJ ballroom-type weddings where the cocktail hour has 1 million stations. They are also all Italian, know good food, and eat a lot. We brought my parents to the tasting and CHEF ADAM WAS AMAZING!!!! My parents were both relieved and amazed at how delicious all the food was and how much food each plate had on it. Chef and Stephanie both worked with us to create the weekend menu that we wanted. I am gluten free and wanted to make as much stuff GF as possible, but without our guests knowing that things were GF. Chef knew exactly what he could make entirely GF and what he would have to make a separate GF option for. It was SO relieving to be able to eat all of the delicious meals at our wedding! EVEN THE MAC AND CHEESE AT THE BBQ ON FRIDAY NIGHT!!! We also had numerous guests with food allergies and there was not a single issue with accommodating everyone. The food on the weekend of the wedding was perfect, we had so many people coming up to us at breakfast on Sunday to let us know and we are still having guests tell us how delicious everything was. I honestly can not rave enough about how great the food is. I was skeptical even when I was reading reviews, but WOW..just WOW. From the welcome snacks on Friday afternoon to the breakfast on Sunday morning...absolutely delicious.
A lot of our guests also commented on how generous the bartenders were with their pours. Drinks were great, as well.
Every single one of their event spaces is awesome and we used all of them! Our ceremony was in the Barn, cocktail hour in the Valley View, Reception in the Pavilion and after party in the Roadhouse. The second we walked into the Pavilion we were excited, pictures don't do it justice. It was so very well designed and constructed, all of our guests were in love with it! Oh and THE ROADHOUSE is a GEM!! Its such a cool and different space, especially for an after party and we used it for yoga the morning of the wedding too!!
We were able to fit the majority of our guests on site, which was exactly what we wanted: Everyone together for the whole weekend. We also didn't want a typical “hotel” and FMR checked off every box on our list. We had family and friends coming from all across the States and were so grateful to be able to spend as much time with them as we did. The guests we couldnt fit, stayed at the Alpine Inn and the Emerson, we had a school bus shuttle for them. They were all happy with their stays as well.
In the end, my husband and I could not have imagined a more amazing wedding weekend!! It was exactly what we wanted and more. Every single one of Full Moon’s staff members were delightful to work with, even the ones behind the scenes that kept everything flowing. Our guests were texting/emailing us after the wedding and are still saying what an awesome weekend they all had and we could not have been happier. We were able to have SO MUCH fun at our own wedding because we had nothing to worry about. The grounds are gorgeous, even on a February day. We would not have changed a single thing. They even had a welcome basket waiting for my husband and I in our cottage when we arrived. Their hospitality is amazing, like saving dinners for guests that arrived late to the BBQ and packing up breakfasts for all of the ladies that were getting ready with me on Saturday morning.
Get married at Full Moon, it was the best weekend of our lives!!!! What a way to start a new chapter :) :) -

Erica Sent on 03/01/2019Couln't have happened at any other venue...Honestly Amazing
If you are even slightly on a limb about a venue, stop right now. Full Moon Resort is the only place I would ever recommend. Not only are the grounds beautiful, with ponds, luxury cabins, and absolutely gorgeous event spaces for ceremonies and receptions, but the people who work there make your wedding more than you could ever hope for. From the owners, Paul and Michael, to the chef Adam West and his team, to the grounds crew, front desk staff, catering ladies...nothing but smiles, laughs, and helpful past their pay I am sure! But, all in all, my wedding would never have happened without our Coordinator, Melanie. Our story was my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I moved the wedding up to two months from out engagement in hopes he could be there to walk me down the aisle. In two months, Melanie helped me plan the wedding of my dreams. On the day of, she was there with me ever moment, asking me questions and making sure everything was just as I wanted it. When I didn't have an answer, she gave me several options and often I just asked her to do what she thought was best. Then, because everyone was busy with my dad, she actually helped me get dressed. She even put on my pearls. At the ceremony, she made sure my dad got to go down the aisle with me no matter what. At the reception, she had a special plate of food made for him because he asked for it and getting him to eat is hard. Most amazingly, at one point I looked over and she was feeding my dad...she didn't have to do that, but she did it so I could have the best wedding possible. In my eyes, Melanie is now a part of our family and I will forever sing her praises, and praises for Full Moon. My friends and family said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to, all planned in just two months. Not to jump backwards, but the FOOD....sweet Lord I never ate so much! And it was AMAZING! Best food I had ever eaten. Period. The chef Adam worked right along with us for food choices and even helped my vision of an afternoon tea happen with delicious scones and finger sandwiches. He helped me design the perfect cake and it was incredible. If you and your hunny are foodies like us, there is no other venue to match the food at FM. I wouldn't have done my wedding any other way, even if I had the chance. It was truly one of the best weekends of my life and I owe it to Full Moon! -

Full Moon Resort gave us a dream wedding we didn't even know was possible! They perfectly combine a rustic, natural setting with the service and details you'd find at a fancy, luxury venue. Every detail is given attention, and they leave nothing for last minute or up to chance. They are extremely professional with excellent customer service for you and your guests. The venue is is so beautiful as is, or you can add details and customize to your liking. There are various choices for settings for events available, but the entire place is reserved for you and your guests the entire weekend regardless of how you choose to use the spaces. The food at each and every meal is carefully prepared and delicious. My guests still talk about it a year later. This is not your normal wedding venue. They provide more than you can imagine, and delivered the absolute perfect day! Do whatever it takes to have your wedding here. You will not regret it -

Staff was professional, curtious and catered to our every need. Food.... AAAAMAAAZING. Seriously from the BBQ, to breakfast, to the wedding reception dinner it was all delicious. You can taste the freshness and passion that goes into each meal. More importantly our guests raved about the wedding and the resort. The rooms were clean and cozy. We stayed at the new accommodation called dancing bear and we LOVED it. We highly HIGHLY recommend this venue to everyone.
