Foreland

Nestled in the heart of Catskill, New York, Foreland is a contemporary wedding venue that beautifully marries history with modernity. Originally constructed in the mid-1800s as a mill for producing Civil War soldiers’ uniforms, this arts campus has been thoughtfully transformed into a vibrant hub for art studios, event spaces, and various gatherings. Situated in the picturesque Hudson River Valley, Foreland offers an idyllic setting for couples seeking a unique and memorable wedding experience.

Foreland features two distinct interior venues, each with its own charm and character. The Waterfront space spans 4,000 square feet and boasts a double-height ceiling, creating an airy and expansive atmosphere. With dozens of large windows offering views of the Great Lawn, this venue exudes an ultra-modern feel, accentuated by exposed wood ceilings and a striking suspended chandelier. The space includes private suites, providing a convenient area for wedding preparations before transitioning to the Great Lawn for a breathtaking outdoor ceremony surrounded by nature.

The Bookhouse, a stand-alone building dedicated exclusively to private events, offers a more intimate setting with its exposed brick walls, large curved windows, and hand-cut wooden slats adorning a ceiling that resembles a starry night sky. This enchanting venue includes two connected lofts, providing private rooms for wedding parties to prepare or retreat for touch-ups throughout the day. The Bookhouse lounge offers newlyweds a peaceful space to relax and enjoy intimate moments together, enhancing the overall wedding experience.

Foreland also offers practical amenities that ensure seamless event execution. Two on-site kitchens are equipped with heating and cooling equipment, allowing caterers to efficiently prepare and serve delectable meals. For added convenience, the venue has curated a list of nearby hotels and dining options, ensuring guests have easy access to accommodations and additional dining experiences. Additionally, two newly-renovated apartments on-site provide comfortable lodging for the married couple and select guests, featuring kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and stunning mountain views. Whether you’re seeking a venue with historical charm or modern elegance, Foreland offers a versatile and enchanting setting for your special day.
