The Sablewood, a fully renovated circa 1870 barn, offers an enchanting wedding venue experience in the northern Catskill Mountains. Situated on over 120 acres, this picturesque location is conveniently just 35 minutes from Albany and under 3 hours from NYC or Boston. The venue features a stunning climate-controlled post-and-beam barn that perfectly blends rustic charm with modern elegance. Couples can choose from indoor or outdoor ceremony and cocktail locations, enhanced by gorgeous custom lighting throughout. The Sablewood’s high-end wooden farm tables and chairs, along with a dedicated staff for setup, cleanup, and day-of assistance, ensure a seamless and relaxed full-day wedding experience.
The Sablewood’s black exterior opens into a bright, sun-drenched interior, where couples can share their first dance under a magnificent 12-foot-wide, 1920s chandelier. The venue comfortably accommodates events from 25 to 180 guests, making it ideal for weddings of all sizes. The grounds are adorned with flowers and natural landscaping, creating a breathtaking backdrop for any celebration. In case of inclement weather, “The Charlington,” a new white barn, offers another stunning option. Fully climate-controlled with 26-foot high ceilings, custom scissor trusses, and handmade French country chandeliers, The Charlington provides an elegant indoor setting with a bluestone veranda facing the mountains.
The Sablewood and The Charlington together ensure that every couple can have their dream wedding regardless of the weather. With preparation suites offering full mountain views and a variety of ceremony and cocktail options, this venue promises a memorable experience. The attention to detail in lighting, architecture, and service makes The Sablewood an exceptional choice for a wedding venue in the Catskills. For more inspiration, the venue has been beautifully captured by photographers such as Danni LaRaia, Tracey Buyce, Cassandra Daye, Cassidy Lynne, Ellen Jackson, and Twice Beloved Studio, showcasing its unique charm and breathtaking vistas.
