Rising above Lake Mohonk in New York's Shawangunk Mountains since 1869, Mohonk Mountain House is one of America's great Victorian resort castles — a National Historic Landmark with 262 rooms, mountain-view gardens, and a wedding programme that wraps open bar, champagne, and on-site coordination into an inclusive package for up to 130 guests.

The story

The Castle on the Lake

Mohonk Mountain House was built in 1869 as a Quaker resort on a lake in the Shawangunk Mountains, and the Victorian towers and turrets that grew up around that original structure have made it one of America's most theatrical resort settings. The castle — a National Historic Landmark — looks across Lake Mohonk to cliffs and sky, and the Formal Gardens and Mountain View Gardens with their flowering vine arbors make ceremony settings that feel genuinely otherworldly in every season.

The wedding package here is unusually inclusive: a Victorian room with fireplace and balcony for the couple, open bar for the full reception including champagne toast, on-site coordinator, valet parking, and a rain backup in the Victorian Parlor that is itself a beautiful room with lake views. Guests have 262 rooms across the castle to choose from, horse-drawn carriage rides from April through November, and the full spa and dining resources of one of the Hudson Valley's most complete destination resorts.
