Spillian Wedding in the Catskills
Having a wedding at Spillian in the Catskills of New York is undoubtedly one of the best choices you can make. Nestled in the serenity of the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle, the venue offers breathtaking natural beauty that creates a magical backdrop for your wedding. The stunning architecture of the main house not only adds charm and character but also doubles as a charming place to stay — making your wedding experience truly seamless.
What I love most about Spillian is its walkable grounds, allowing you and your guests to explore and find hidden gems around every corner. The property offers a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, providing versatility for all weather conditions and styles of celebration. It’s a comfortable, inspiring setting with so many cozy nooks and picturesque spots. Honestly, I’m already dreaming of going back.
My visit to Spillian was quite the adventure. The wedding took place in the summer of 2023, which turned out to be my busiest year yet — with back-to-back weddings across the country. I had expected that this trip would be easier to manage than my cross-country travels, but I was mistaken. The airline lost my luggage, which contained my camera strap, clothes, and essentials. I found myself panic-buying everything I needed at the mall and Target before taking the long drive from Albany to the Catskills. Fortunately, American Airlines delivered my luggage in time — arriving the morning of the wedding — just as I was getting ready.
Despite the travel hiccup, the day unfolded beautifully. The weather was idyllic, providing perfect conditions for a summer celebration. The ceremony itself was flawless, with the natural light filtering through the trees creating a magical atmosphere. Everything aligned perfectly, and I couldn’t be more grateful for how smoothly it all came together.
All in all, the wedding was an unforgettable experience — a testament to the charm and magic of Spillian. If you’re considering a venue in the Catskills, I highly recommend it. I’ll definitely be returning for another wedding if the opportunity arises.
