Hayfield Catskills wedding

Wedding Planners inside tips for having an incredible wedding at Hayfield Catskills:

Hayfield Catskills is a stunning venue surrounded by nature, but planning ahead will ensure your day is as seamless as it is beautiful. Always have a rain plan ready. For this wedding, we transformed the dance floor and bar area into a cozy ceremony space when the weather didn’t cooperate. Consider buying bulk umbrellas for guests to keep them comfortable in case of rain.

Since Hayfield Catskills doesn’t have an on-site getting-ready area, you’ll need to outsource this. The nearby Wylder Hotel is a fantastic option, offering a charming and convenient space to prepare before shuttling to the venue.

Take advantage of the back land for breathtaking wedding photos. The natural backdrop creates a serene and timeless look that’s perfect for your album.

Transportation is a must for this venue. Its remote location and winding roads, especially at night, mean your guests will appreciate the extra care in arranging shuttles.

For an outdoor ceremony or cocktail hour on the grassy hill, remind guests to wear comfortable and appropriate shoes. The slight incline and outdoor terrain make this thoughtful detail essential for their enjoyment.

Finally, if you love a warm, romantic ambiance, embrace candles for your reception. The glow of candlelight against the venue’s rustic elegance creates an enchanting and golden atmosphere, perfect for photos and lasting memories.
