In recognition of your presence as our special guest, we only host one reception per day, allowing you and your bridal party to arrive early to get dressed, take some pre-wedding photos, or simply relax for a few minutes before the festivities begin. Reid Castle's history dates back to the marriage of Whitelaw Reid and his wife, Elizabeth, in 1888, who had a vision of transforming their country home into the legendary architectural and landscaping landmark that it is today. To host your event at Reid Castle is to become a part of a history that began with the marriage of New York Tribune owner Whitelaw Reid and his wife, Elizabeth, in 1888. Every aspect of this jewel in the crown of Westchester's grand estates is influenced by the couple's time in France, where Whitelaw served as American Ambassador at the time. Everything about this building, from the marbled wonder of the gloriously gleaming entrance hall to the grand reception rooms, which include original chambers imported from historic French chateaux, represents the pinnacle of that period's architectural aesthetic, preserved to polished perfection in all of its original detail. All of this — including the entire grand ground floor — is exclusively yours for the duration of your wedding reception. Reid Castle's policy of catering to only one wedding party per day ensures that we can maintain a level of exclusive service and culinary standards that are on par with the rest of the estate's offerings. Its grounds were designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted, the visionary landscape architect who created Central Park. Guests will enjoy the rolling views that stretch all the way to the waters of Long Island Sound, which will be visible through French doors that open to elegant terraces and other possibilities for seasonal party planning. All of this is conveniently located near major air, rail, and interstate connections. Despite this, it is a world away from anything else that anyone else in such close proximity to metropolitan New York can provide.

The heartbeat of the small Catskill town of Woodstock, Bearsville, and all that transpired in this small hamlet on the edge of Woodstock, created the music revolution of the sixties. The story of Bearsville is the story of Albert Grossman, a music entrepreneur and manager of musicians. High in the Catskill Mountains surrounded by forests and streams, Albert established a creative and nurturing community in which his artists could live and work. He built cabins, a record label, and created the Bearsville Studios. Bob Dylan moved to Woodstock to take advantage of his vision, and artists like Janis Joplin, Allen Ginsberg, Johnny Cash, George and Pattie Harrison followed his lead. Albert then planned an acoustically perfect Bearsville Theatre, where he could showcase his artists. Bearsville Theater was originally built for the music industry to experience the best that Albert’s vision could provide. Today, The Bearsville Theater remains an exceptional and unique setting for artists from around the globe to sojourn to, to perform to an audience in our intimate, acoustically perfect auditorium.
