Bear Mountain Venues

Merry Go Round

This whimsical space provides a unique venue for those that are light of heart. With your ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner reception for 75 to 120 people, all happening within the carousel space, your guests will have ample time to ride each animal depicted on the Merry-Go-Round, including the Bear Mountain Bears!

Bear Mountain Inn

Our classic weddings at the Bear Mountain Inn begin with an outdoor ceremony on the beautiful Hickory Terrace. Your guests will then enjoy cocktail hour in the Appalachian and Adirondack Rooms located on the first floor of the Inn adjacent to the ceremony space. Following cocktail, we advance upstairs to the Perkins and Harriman Ballroom space for dinner and dancing. This second-floor ballroom overlooks the grand mall of the Bear Mountain State Park with stunning views of the mountain and surrounding area. With its native stone walls and exposed timbers, this classic rustic venue is the ideal location for your Hudson Valley mountain wedding for 125 to 250 people!

Overlook Lodge

The private Overlook Lodge is a secluded location that can accommodate events from 60 up to 140 guests. We begin your special day with a ceremony on the outdoor patio which is nestled on the mountain surrounded by trees and natural rock formations. We then enter the foyer and lobby space for cocktail hour before advancing to the Hessian Ballroom for dinner and dancing. This modern ballroom space is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows boasting spectacular views of Hessian Lake below and the Hudson River in the distance.
