Perfect for weddings!
We had our wedding here and it was such a beautiful and perfect setting. Happy Days comes with an onsite coordinator (we worked with Cierra) who helps you plan your event, including details like the venue tour, walk through, floor plan, and bar. She was very responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. The string lights and hanging chandeliers are so elegant and really make the vibe excellent on wedding night. The layout of the venue is also super ideal for a wedding. You can have a cocktail hour and/or ceremony in the screened in patio, then move your guests into the large main room. The stage is perfect for a live band, DJ, or sweetheart/head table. We had our head table on the stage which felt very special and gave us a great view of our guests and vice versa. We rented chiavari chairs from our caterer to add extra elegance to the venue. If you're looking for a rustic yet elegant, classy, National-Parks-Themed vibe for your wedding day, we highly recommend Happy Days Lodge!We had our wedding here and it was such a beautiful and perfect setting.

Beautiful venue, fabulous team
We fell in love with Happy Days as soon as we visited, and were not disappointed! Staff was very responsive, and allowed us to move our wedding date (twice!) due to COVID with no extra fees. The hall is so beautiful on its own that we did very little decorating, and the surrounding woods are a gorgeous place to take photos. On the day of the wedding, staff were on hand but unobtrusive, helping us make sure everything was in order and taking care of messes (like a giant glass of water we managed to spill on the sweetheart table...) Professional staff, beautiful venue, plus you can feel good that your money is helping keep up a national park!We fell in love with Happy Days as soon as we visited, and were not disappointed!

Perfect choice
We originally chose Happy Days because it had options to cover any weather (AC, fireplace, screened in porch, large ourdoor area). But There were so many more benefits than that - Kayla and her staff were so accommodating and flexible with COVID changes including postponing our event a year. The lodge is beautiful on it's own, and we got a ton of complements from our guests. Amy also helped us put together a great bar package with our favorite local beers. Overall, we have absolutely no complaints and were so happy with our choice.We originally chose Happy Days because it had options to cover any weather (AC, fireplace, screened in porch, large ourdoor area).

Perfect intimate wedding
My wife and I fell in love with Happy Days Lodge as soon as we saw the photos online. The following emails, phone calls, meetings, and walkthroughs with the staff only reaffirmed to us that we had made the right choice. They made everything so simple and our special day went so smoothly because of their excellent communication with us and our coordinator and the hard work they put in. On top of all of that, the location is perfect for photos! We recommend Happy Days to any of our family and friends in the area as affordable, beautiful, accommodating, and professional.My wife and I fell in love with Happy Days Lodge as soon as we saw the photos online.

From start to finish the experience of our wedding with Happy Day's Lodge was wonderful! The staff kept in great contact with us throughout the planning period and were amazing the day of. Happy Day's itself is beautiful and provided a wonderful outdoor area for our wedding and a back up in case it rained (which it did a little). The staff stayed on top of the weather forecast and worked so hard to make our day perfect! I was able to have a stress free wedding by picking Happy Day's for our big day! I highly recommend Happy Day's Lodge for your wedding, you wont be disappointed!From start to finish the experience of our wedding with Happy Day's Lodge was wonderful!

Katie, Happy Days' event coordinator, was so helpful and responsive at every step of the process from answering questions that came up quickly to even helping us set up on the day of the wedding. The venue is absolutely beautiful space for both ceremony and reception (with the lights preset in the great room by the Happy Days staff) and it was so special for us that all of the venue fees go to support the national park.

Cannot say enough good things about Happy Days Lodge. It is the perfect rustic and homey venue for a mid-sized wedding and offers so much space for dinner and dancing! The lighting was beautiful, the fire was welcoming, and Brittany and the other workers were so helpful and accommodating! Being able to come in multiple times prior to the big day to get a picture of how everything will look was a huge blessing. We wish we could have parties at Happy Days every year, ha! Seriously, if you don't at least check it out for your wedding, you are missing out!Cannot say enough good things about Happy Days Lodge.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Happy Days Lodge in August 2014 and we could not have asked for a better expierence! When we first saw it online, we called Brittany and she went out of her way to make time to show us the venue that day and answer all of our questions. She made booking it so easy and responded to any questions we had through the year right away. The space was beautiful and more than spacious enough for our 150 guests! Our guests really enjoyed the outdoor space as well. Brittany and other staff spent the whole night making sure everything went perfect for us! Would absolutely recommend this venue to everyone!!!We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Happy Days Lodge in August 2014 and we could not have asked for a better expierence!

We fell in love with this venue when we first saw it. We must have spoken with the management and point person dozens of times prior to the wedding with requests, questions, updates, etc. and all of our interactions were wonderful. They made available all of the accommodations we desired and more. They had an indoor and outdoor option ready, as the weather was up in the air. We were allowed to decorate early. They also worked well with the other vendors we used to make the process very smooth. Nothing went wrong on wedding day, and I attribute most of that to the Happy Days Lodge.We fell in love with this venue when we first saw it.

My wedding at the Happy Days Lodge was fairy book perfect. I wanted a place that wasn't a hall with open green spaces and this place was exactly what I was dreaming of. There is some extra work for the bride and groom involved with this place. Must provide your own bartender and booze. Decorations were set up and torn down within the restricted hours that you bought (that place is very busy with other events). Parking is a hassle for guests. But with that said the staff was amazing to work with and every little con about the place is so worth it in the end. My photographer said its her favorite wedding venue thus far to shoot at.My wedding at the Happy Days Lodge was fairy book perfect.

A beautiful venue with helpful staff!
We got married and had our reception at Happy Days Lodge on March 5, 2022, and we had a fantastic experience. From the time when we first inquired about the venue right up to the wedding day, they were very easy to work with and answered every question we could have had. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and I especially loved that they had a ceremony site and a reception site all in one venue. Overall, I think we got a great value for what we paid, and I would absolutely recommend Happy Days to any engaged couples looking for a rustic-yet-sophisticated venue with tons of natural beauty.We got married and had our reception at Happy Days Lodge on March 5, 2022, and we had a fantastic experience.

If you are looking for a different kind of venue that is historic, part of a national park with beautiful surroundings, this is for you. The location, about a mile off Rt 8, offers reasonable, quality lodging nearby. Also, Hudson and Peninsula and the national park offer plenty for visitors to do. The event planner was very helpful and was flexible in meeting our needs. There is no refrigeration so any caterer you hire would need to be prepared for that. If the caterer has never been to the venue they should have a walk through. The Conservancy (vendor) has a designated list of caterers or for an additional fee you can hire your own. We chose one of the designated caterers and were very pleased. You must pay a fee for alcohol to be served and sign a waiver of responsibility. The lodge is able to be dressed up or dressed down with decorating depending on your needs. You even have options of using the grounds around it. Plenty of open space inside. There is a walk from the main parking lot that involves stairs and a pedestrian tunnel but it's fun to decorate with 'candles' and signs. Limited mobility parking is available next to the building. From the parking lot throughout the building there are no elevation changes so limited mobility is accommodated. Large speakers and sound system hook-ups and huge movie screen are available. You must provide the projector. There is no sound system on the large screened in porch (very nice area), we opted to bring a portable unit. Traffic in the distance varies with sound so we didn't want to take a chance. There are no coat racks so if guests come with them you'll have to figure it out. There is a fireplace located on one side of the main hall that can be lit. Standard tables and chairs are available other can be rented. Restrooms very adequate. Staff are available throughout the event to help with logistics.If you are looking for a different kind of venue that is historic, part of a national park with beautiful surroundings, this is for you.

The event planner was very helpful and was flexible in meeting our needs. There is no refrigeration so any caterer you hire would need to be prepared for that. If the caterer has never been to the venue they should have a walk through. The Conservancy (vendor) has a designated list of caterers or for an additional fee you can hire your own. We chose one of the designated caterers and were very pleased. You must pay a fee for alcohol to be served and sign a waiver of responsibility. The lodge is able to be dressed up or dressed down with decorating depending on your needs. You even have options of using the grounds around it. Plenty of open space inside. There is a walk from the main parking lot that involves stairs and a pedestrian tunnel but it's fun to decorate with 'candles' and signs. Limited mobility parking is available next to the building. From the parking lot throughout the building there are no elevation changes so limited mobility is accommodated. Large speakers and sound system hook-ups and huge movie screen are available. You must provide the projector. There is no sound system on the large screened in porch (very nice area), we opted to bring a portable unit. Traffic in the distance varies with sound so we didn't want to take a chance. There are no coat racks so if guests come with them you'll have to figure it out. There is a fireplace located on one side of the main hall that can be lit. Standard tables and chairs are available other can be rented. Restrooms very adequate.
