    Hi There! This is my first post. I'm recently engaged and looking for a unique venue in Westchester County. Ideally I'd love a barn fo rmy reception but I want to be able to have my guests get to/from the venue without much trouble (aka can't go upstate. And if possible id love to stay on the Metro North line). Any thoughts on unforgettable venues in Westchester County? Many thanks!!

    if you get to the point where you consider hotels, i recommend the pearl river hilton.  went to a wedding there this fall - near a metro north station, pretty area outside for ceremony, gorgeous glass sunroom for cocktail hour, excellent food, guests can stay there in nice rooms.  i thought it was a classy and elegant wedding.

     

    good luck in your search!

    Alder Manor in Yonkers (I believe).  I actually have been trying to get some info on them but to no avail.  The website sucks and no one has gotten back to me.  Nonethless, the weddings that have been shot there are amazing.  Do a quick google search to see.

    Check out Tarrytown - they are expensive but they have lots of amazing venues. You will have to call though! There is almost no information online other than the phone number anyway:

    I really wanted to have my wedding there but couldn't due to budget. Westchester is pricy!

    Thanks guys! Appreciate all of this. Any other ideas are welcome. also, ps the Aldor Mansion is an abandoned mansion in Yonkers. I think you might have a rough time reaching anyone about it. Maybe call the city. Good luck that place is amazing.

    You should try Lyndhurst Castle in Tarrytown, they have a super cool carriage house which is where the receptions take place (in a tent). Here is there website http://lyndhurst.wordpress.com/ but also google Lyndhurst and wedding and you will find lots of pics. We didnt get married there but took our formal pics there and its a really cool venue with lots of history and character. I strongly suggest you go visit and check it out!

    @peoniesforall: Where did you get that info.  It's not abandoned.  A non-profit org rents the space for events.

    @heather25: gosh maybe it's not! im googling it now and it seems there have been weddings there recently (I had always heard from friends that it was abandoned). Have you had any luck with it?

    You can find a huge chart of Westchester wedding venues here:

     

    http://www.westchestermagazine.com/Westchester-Magazine/Westchester-Weddings/Annual-2011/Where-to-Wed/

     

    They're broken down by type (mansion, country club, castles, museums etc.). You just need Adobe to open it.

    @peoniesforall: Unfortunately they haven't gotten back to me.  Someone suggested contacting the caterer. Chefs at work.  Have to do that after the holidays.
