We love this gorgeous Hudson Valley wedding venue for its sprawling views and intimate indoor and outdoor spaces. This special celebration held lots of personal touches. Best of all, the couple had an outdoor ceremony on a warm winter day. The view of the Hudson Highlands was unbeatable, with purple and pink skies during their vows.

Planning a Winter Wedding at the Garrison

Rebecca and Alex married in early December, and the weather cooperated beautifully. The day was warm and sunny, so their outdoor ceremony went ahead with views of the Hudson Highlands. Even so, the indoor ceremony space at the Garrison is romantic in the winter. It still has gorgeous views of the mountains. As a result, couples get a cozy setting without giving up the scenery. After the vows, guests moved to a reception space with round tables, gold chairs, and large windows. In addition, the couple set out a welcome table and a printed Wedding Weekend timeline for their guests. That thoughtful planning shaped every part of their winter wedding day. Every winter wedding at The Garrison gives us plenty of room for candid, natural photos. For more on the ceremony spaces, portrait spots and planning tips, see our Garrison wedding venue guide.

Rebecca and Alex did, on a warm winter day with purple and pink skies during their vows. However, we always recommend a backup plan. Fortunately, the indoor ceremony space is romantic and keeps the mountain views.

Winter Wedding at The Garrison: Should couples do a first look?

A first look gave Rebecca and Alex quiet time together before the ceremony. It also let us photograph them in soft light on the grounds. Therefore, we often suggest one for winter weddings, when daylight ends early.
