The setting
“The site is also unique as it was used in the Revolutionary War to keep an eye on British forces that might advance up the Hudson River, by Baron Von Steuben.”
“Besides being a historic location tucked away in the hills of the Hudson Valley, this venue was clean, organized, and accommodating.”
What couples say again and again
“The grounds are gorgeous, and though the odd entrance through a townhome complex was a bit confusing (the speed bumps don't all have the best paint, so slow down!”
“Our day-of coordinator, Gabe, was especially attentive to any and all of our needs, making things so much easier on our end.”
From the reviews
We have planned and designed a few weddings here and love the ability to completely customize the venue. The views are spectacular and gorgeous for any wedding ceremony.
We were married at Mount Gulian over Labor Day weekend 2022 and had about 100 guests and a live band. We booked it in October 2021. Between then and the wedding, the docent changed. We were nervous the transition would impact our wedding, but it was very smooth. Overall, we had a magical experience.
We got married at Mount Gulian and could not have asked for a more beautiful, memorable setting. The ceremony took place beside their stunning garden, followed by cocktail hour on the lawn with a beautiful view of the Hudson River.
Mount Gulian absolutely blew us away! It was the PERFECT location for our special day, and we heard wonderful things from all of our guests. Our day-of coordinator, Gabe, was especially attentive to any and all of our needs, making things so much easier on our end.
Getting married at Mount Gulian Historic Site
Mount Gulian Historic Site comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
