Places to Elope in The Catskill Mountains

The Catskills mountains and upstate New York has tons of incredible locations for a wedding or elopement! Here are 3 of my top fave places to elope in the Catskill Mountains:

1. The Sablewood in Schonarie, NY: It’s simply breathtaking with a pond at the top of the mountain overlooking the Catskills. There is plenty of room to roam the gorgeous hills with your lover. You can still elope in style by having a gorgeous floral installation, rent a boho lounge, the prettiest table setting to enjoy your dinner together and more. Heck, even hire a personal chef to cook dinner!
2. Urban Cowboy Lodge: Nestled amidst the breathtaking woodlands and mountains, this cozy western oasis is rustic and elegant all at the same time. Its warm ambiance and remarkable mountain views make it the perfect backdrop for a Catskills elopement.
3. An Airbnb in the mountains: Choose a space that best reflects YOUR vision for your day. Whether a modern chateau by the lake or a cozy cabin in the woods, customize your elopement experience by booking something unique and fun for you two!
