The most amazing experience at Handsome Hollow

I can not rave about this venue enough! My husband and I saw 11 venues upstate in our search for something that was outside of Brooklyn/NYC. We saw many venues that were gorgeous but did not feel like the personal touch would be there. We wanted something original and felt professional and buttoned up while remaining approachable and FUN. This is exactly who Kate and Huck are and exactly what this venue is. Kate and Huck manage this venue with professionalism and grace. They make your day so easy and so lovely and nothing is overlooked. The venue itself is an absolute stunner. There are so many places for guests to relax and chat. I loved that guests would go outside and have a drink or be inside on the dance floor. It all felt seamless and very open. All of our family and friends can not believe how beautiful and lovely the day was. It was truly a dream.

Above and beyond

From the second we stepped foot into Handsome Hollow, we knew we had to get married here. It truly is a special place. Kate and Huck are the absolute best of the best at what they do. They were incredibly responsive during our year of planning and when the weekend finally came, they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and looked beautiful. We had some weather issues after our rehearsal dinner, and they took full care to make sure everything went on as planned. We are so grateful we found them.

Wedding at Handsome Hollow

My wife and I got married at Handsome Hollow this summer. From the first minute of our visit until we packed our bags and left the Sunday after our wedding, Kate and Huck were an absolute dream to work with. We could not have hoped for a better venue and better people to work with.

The venue itself: Handsome Hollow is absolutely stunning. I’m biased but it’s the nicest wedding venue I’ve ever seen. We visited countless venues in the city and upstate and nothing came remotely close. We knew it was where we were going to get married the second we drove in and saw it. It’s really majestical.

Kate and Huck: Kate and Huck, the owners and operators of the venue are just incredible people. They are responsive, empathetic, positive, and helpful. We had a million questions planning our wedding and could always rely on Kate to respond. No question is out of bounds for them and they go out of their way to make things as seamless as possible.

Upstate/Location: The Catskills are gorgeous and the Western Catskills can feel like the most perfect and underrated part of the country. We were certain we wanted to get married there but coming from the city, had concerns about finding vendors, accommodation, etc.
Kate put as at ease from the first minute and we had quite a substantial number of top notch vendors to choose from for every aspect of our wedding. Accommodation turned out to be a breeze with really lovely B&Bs around the area, and some really large Airbnbs that are great for big groups a short distance away from Handsome Hollow. We also easily found a transportation company through Kate that was able to accommodate a wide range of destinations and each of our guests was picked up and dropped off to wherever they were staying with ease. Our caterer and florist were both incredible as well. There quite literally wasn’t a single vendor we struggled to find, in no small part due to Kate helping us every step of the way.

We cannot recommend Handsome Hollow enough.
