Hey everyone, i've been engaged for about a month now and i'm still searching frantically for a venue. I keep going back and forth between a few (Hunter Mountain and Twin Lakes) both in the catskills are two favorites. First off, anyone have any reviews of either place? Hunter Mountain seems PERFECT because I love the idea of a mountaintop ceremony, but the only thing is if it rains youre pretty much screwed because obviously the ski lifts to get to the top of the mountain will be shut down.
Twin lakes was beautiful but I didn't like it as much as hunter mtn. On the other hand, they have an outside/under the tent option in case it rains.
My next question is to see if anyone has any other suggestions for a venue. I'm from CT, but really like the catskills area. I want an outdoor ceremony and possibly reception, but don't mind if the reception is indoors either. I'm a country girl, so I want a place where the atmosphere kind of matches a countryish theme (cowboy boots with the bridesmaid/wedding dress kinda deal.) And also somewhere that would have pretty foliage in Sept/Oct of 2012. Nice views, either the mountain kind of deal or maybe a lake? I know it probably sounds like i'm looking for a lot, but I have a vision in my head of a place I just can't find, so i'm curious to see if anyone has any suggestions.
OH and a big deal to me, is somewhere that can have some kind of bonfire. Thanks guys!
