Overview of the Promise Gardens of the Adirondacks

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

10 out of 10 Venue!

Promise Gardens delivered a flawless execution of our wedding! And most impressively, while battling the number one most dreaded wedding day situation - rain. From the ceremony in the beautiful new lofty white washed dinner barn, to cocktail hour throughout the illuminated terrace and rustic dancing barn, the weather was hardly a factor. PG’s all-hands-on-deck (yet inconspicuous) transformation of the dinner barn from ceremony seating to dinner table setting all within the cocktail hour was skillful. Even in the midst of the rain there were plenty of locations within the venue to take photos (rustic barn, bridal suite, garden terrace, lush vestibule steps, etc.) A critical new addition to PG is the roofed patio off the dinner barn that stages a secondary bar so the wedding party can stay hydrated in the fresh air, but most importantly doubles as a covered location for an unencumbered backdrop of garden/mountain landscape views in case of inclement weather. We were fortunate enough to have a window where the rain stopped to capture photos throughout the gardens - of course the unique distinction of PG - but honestly might even prefer the pictures taken within the intimate covered venue offerings. Next, having a secondary location in the dancing barn for the post reception celebration is the only way to go. It encourages the wedding party to get up from their tables and take it to the next level. Albeit, a good band/DJ is critical. The layout of the party barn sets the stage for up close and center dancing, while also offering enough room under the same roof for those not dancing to hang back while still feeling like part of the action. And don’t worry, even in the heat of a summer celebration, the cross breeze between open barn doors and ceiling fans helps cool down the dance floor. Our only critique would be that we couldn’t stay longer, but just make sure you have sufficient transportation (stocked with drinks) and an after party destination solidified/warned for the next phase of the celebration. Thank you Terri and Promise Gardens for everything and more than we could have ever imagined!

Beautiful Venue!

We had our wedding at The Promise Gardens in July 2024. We could not be more satisfied with how it turned out! The new white dinner barn is gorgeous and the breezeway really is the perfect spot for cocktail hour. Our guests raved about this place! Terri and her team show extreme pride in their property and it shows! It is an absolutely beautiful venue and we would recommend it to any couple!

I cant say enough positive things about Burlap & Beams for your wedding venue. This is a hidden treasure in the heart of the Adirondacks with all the glamorous, rustic enhancements you could imagine. Every season the owner continues to fill the property with creative touches that make this barn one of the best in the capital region.

You will not be disappointed with the quality of value of this unique wedding venue!

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