Full Moon Resort Reviews

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!

It was the best decision we ever made. From the moment we first met with Paul for a tour, we knew it was the perfect, most unique venue and that it would make for an insanely memorable weekend with family and friends hanging with each other all weekend.

Tia and Corinne were a tremendous help in coordinating reservations and answering our questions as we assigned accommodations for our guests. Throughout the wedding weekend, Morgan, Nikki, Kayla, and Claire were simply amazing, going above and beyond to assist with everything we needed, even walking our dog and tidying up our room during our reception.

And the food!!!! rave reviews from our guests throughout the weekend.

While planning a wedding at Full Moon may seem like more work than a traditional (boringgggg) wedding, the dedicated team at Full Moon made every step of the process easier and completely worth it.

Our wedding weekend will be unforgettable for us and anyone who attended, and we couldn't be happier with our choice.

So, yeah, DO IT!!!!!

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!!

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!!!

Words can't begin to describe how we feel about Full Moon Resort and their ENTIRE team. Starting with Paul who showed us the facility not once but twice over, help from Tia, Morgan, Corrine, Claire leading up to the day and finally working with everyone including Josh, Kayla, Nikki, Kaitlyn and more! The team was highly attentive to our requests and we felt like we could focus on our wedding moment by moment. There was no stress for us, and it was evident that the team works very well together and communicates extremely effectively.

We had the most magical wedding day and enjoyed the following days including the bbq, campfire and relaxing on the grounds with family. We are still glowing as we write this review about a month later!

The facility is clean, quiet, modern, and yet rustic. The grounds are well taken care of, and the views of the surrounding mountains cannot be beat. This site is the premiere spot for events in the Catskills.

One thing we were particularly unsure about was having to make a room chart for our guests, however, Tia and team were amazing in assistance and made this such a smooth process.

We fully recommend Full Moon Resort and can’t wait to stay there again as an Airbnb.

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.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, magical place for our wedding! Everything was perfect, the food was incredible, and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Perfect!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Full Moon Resort is such a beautiful venue. Absolutely magical. And the staff is incredibly sweet.

We had my daughter's wedding at Full Moon Resort this past weekend and we cannot say enough about our experience. It was a perfect blend between a swanky wedding and summer camp. The facilities, the staff, and the food exceeded our very high expectations. Alexis was on top of every detail and was just a pleasure to work with. Our guests said it was one of the best weddings and venues they ever attended. Our one suggestion would be not to hire a wedding planner as Full Moon really takes care of it all.

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

Full Moon Resort gave me a wedding that was better than my wildest dreams. First, they were incredibly responsive to our inquiry emails, were quick to schedule a tour, and were very patient with all of the follow up questions and concerns we had as a couple having a 230 person wedding. They answered all of our questions without delay, since they have weddings there ~4 times a week during spring and summer there is nothing they haven't seen yet. Planning was seamless thanks to the Front Desk Manager Tia, Reservations Assistant Manager Kimmy, and the Event team Morgan, Alexis, Phoebe, and Josh. It always felt like all hands were on deck, they were so accommodating and understanding with all of the reservations. Our tasting at the venue was really fun and personal. The food is delicious. We spent the wedding weekend Fri-Sun at Full Moon and it could not have been better. Our family and friends had such a great time. The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, the food was delicious and plentiful (they were so considerate to all with any kind of food allergy or restriction - amazing), and the locations for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are unbeatable! Our guests enjoyed the BBQ the night before with a camp fire afterwards. The day of the wedding before the ceremony at 5pm our guests were playing lawn games, going for a hike, lunching in Woodstock, or swimming in the Full Moon gorgeous, clean pool. It was a perfect weekend, we are so grateful for this place. Thank you!

We had just a special and wonderful wedding weekend at Full Moon Resort. To start with, their team is great. Everyone's so competent, professional, and just knows how to make sure the couple and guests have a seamless, perfect wedding.
We had a multicultural Hindu/Western wedding, with different traditions that we wanted to bring together, and I don't think anyone else could have done it as beautifully as Full Moon Resort. Few shoutouts:
1. The Chef did an incredible job of making delicious both Indian and Western main courses. Everyone was impressed at how their meals turned out. Chef went above and beyond at learning and perfecting new dishes for us, and it really showed.
2. It rained during our wedding! This is not what we were hoping for, we were hoping to do things outdoors, but FMR had a perfect rain plan in place. Now we couldn't imagine the weekend any other way.
3. It's so special to have all of your friends and family staying in the same place, which could only happen for us at FMR.

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.

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.

Where to begin!!?? Full Moon Resort was the first venue we looked at…. And the last!! It hit all of our wedding requirements and then some. Having a whole weekend wedding was very important to us because we had a lot of potential guests flying in from all over. Full Moon was perfect across the board, the facility crosses off 4 major wedding vendor choices to struggle with, reception venue location, ceremony location, sleeping accommodations AND catering!!! & 10/10 on ALL OF THOSE!!! from the second we walked the property we knew we had to have our wedding here. They worked through the craziness of covid with us so gracefully, we pushed the wedding back 1 full year with ease (on our end anyway, god bless whomever had to handle moving dozens of weddings around). We were very concerned for food as well, but I challenge you to find a bad review for Full Moons catering!! It doesn’t exist. Because no one has ever not enjoyed a meal there! We had 120 guests & each and every one of them loved every second at Full Moon!
I could go on for hours… the staff, 10/10!! Every member of the staff was incredibly welcoming, helpful, & kind. Not once did we feel like the tiniest choice wasn’t completely in our hands. The ‘weekend of’ staff, or event managers? Not sure their exact titles but ALEXIS AND PHOEBE!!!! Bless these beautiful souls, they were so attentive to our every need the whole weekend!
I could go on and on, Perfect Venue, perfect staff, perfect weekend, PERFECT WEDDING!!!

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!

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.
