One's first thought of weddings in New York might be of The Plaza or Central Park. Authentic New Yorkers, even those who live in Manhattan, know that “Upstate” is where it is at. Upstate, defined as anywhere outside of New York City, includes the Hudson Valley, the Catskills, the Finger Lakes, Lake Ontario, Lake Champlain, the Thousand Islands, Niagara Falls and the Adirondack Park. The Hudson Valley is one of the top wedding destinations in the country with over 50 barns that can be rented for weddings and a plethora of historic mansions that housed families like the Roosevelts, the Livingstons and the Van Burens.
