What's Included

at the Sablewood

Because love knows no season; spring, summer, fall, or winter, we host stunning weddings April through November at The Sablewood, taking advantage of each beautiful season upstate New York offers. Our venue is designed with a variety of outdoor, weather protected, and indoor spaces to beautifully accommodate your guests in comfort with full climate control.

Your event tells your story.

Our goal is for your event to be everything you imagine and more. It should reflect your unique personality and vision and we will assist with everything from vendor selection to room layout and setup to help bring your vision to life. We will also be here in the background keeping our barns and grounds meticulously maintained to display the timeless beauty of this historic property.

We invite you to be our guest.

We take this thoughtful sentiment to heart in every aspect of what we do. You bring the love story and we will delight your guests with every detail of design, friendly smiles and welcoming hospitality.

We’ve designed our spaces with the flexibility to function effortlessly for events of all sizes from 25 to 175 guests. You may select from a variety of ceremony and cocktail locations, with receptions taking place inside the Sablewood barn. Even the farm tables were created with beauty and guest comfort in mind as timber from our farm was used to build the trestle style table base and farm table tops. The trestle design allows space for our large comfortable wooden chairs. This is furniture designed for your home dining room and we choose it so that, well, you feel at home.

“At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.”

— Maya Angelou

Enjoy the simple charm of times past in a thoughtfully modernized event space.

We believe in going above and beyond to make your day unforgettable. One way we do this is by offering a wide variety of impressive finished spaces and high-end amenities to ensure you have a beautiful experience regardless of weather.
