"A Greek-Italian fall wedding with a 14-piece brass band, three courses outside, and a midnight pasta bar. Our families argued about everything for ten months, then cried together on the lawn."
Twenty-eight acres. Two hundred guests. One wedding per weekend — entirely yours, from Friday's welcome dinner through Sunday morning brunch.
Built in 1898 as a family summer estate and lovingly restored over three generations, Holloway has hosted four hundred and twelve weddings since opening to couples in 2009 — and not a single Saturday with two events.
You and your guests have the run of twenty-eight acres of meadow, garden, and old-growth woodland. The 1898 manor sleeps twenty-six. The carriage house sleeps another fourteen. The barn — restored in 2019 — seats up to two hundred for dinner. The ceremony lawn looks out over the Hudson.
We host fourteen weddings a year. That is the only number we are willing to do well.
— Margaret & Owen Holloway, fourth-generation stewards
Holloway sits at the end of a half-mile gravel drive, beyond a stone gatehouse and a row of two-hundred-year-old sycamores. The house faces west toward the Catskills; the meadow opens east toward the river.
The original carriage house, restored in 2018, holds the kitchen, prep spaces, and a quiet bridal suite with a clawfoot tub and a balcony over the rose garden.
What you won't find here: another wedding next door. Holloway only hosts one event at a time. Your weekend is your weekend.
A few moments around the property. For the full gallery and a private film, request a tour.
A south-sloping meadow looking out over the Hudson, framed by century-old maples. Sunset ceremonies April through October.
Originally an 1890s dairy barn. Climate-controlled, with reclaimed chestnut floors, original beams, and a sound system that doesn't look like one.
For intimate weekends. Twelve guest rooms, a wood-paneled library, and a verandah that wraps three sides of the house.
Most venues won't show you a floor plan until after you've booked. We share ours up front.
A south-sloping meadow framed by century-old maples on the west and the rose garden on the east. Sunset ceremonies face the Hudson, with cocktails returning to the verandah immediately after.
An 1890s dairy barn rebuilt in 2019 with reclaimed chestnut floors and original beams. The layout shown is our standard 12-table seated dinner for 144 — but the space configures four different ways depending on your guest count.
The original 1898 mansion. Ceremonies in the library, receptions in the dining room or under sailcloth tent off the verandah. Twelve guest rooms upstairs, all sleeping a couple each.
Five snapshots from the property — the orchard at first light, the barn at last light, the ceremony lawn in October.

"A Greek-Italian fall wedding with a 14-piece brass band, three courses outside, and a midnight pasta bar. Our families argued about everything for ten months, then cried together on the lawn."
"A Friday rehearsal mehendi in the barn, Saturday Hindu ceremony on the lawn, Sunday brunch on the verandah. The Holloways let us hang fabric from the rafters — most venues said no."
"Three-night estate buyout for a destination wedding from California. Forty guests slept on property. Margaret stocked the manor with our favorite snacks before we arrived."
We don't require preferred vendors — but these are the people who have shot, planned, and catered here so often, they know which floorboards creak.
The data is overwhelming: Friday weddings cost less, draw stronger attendance, and give you Saturday to actually celebrate with your guests. Here's how to convince your future mother-in-law.
The maples turn the third week of October. The orchard smells like cider by the fourth. Here's what to expect, what to wear, and the three weekends we recommend most.
