The Best Hotels for a Country Wedding Outside of New York

"Centered on a beautifully preserved 1757 Dutch Colonial stone mansion, this 55‑acre Hudson Valley estate is rambling and romantic, with gardens, a private lake, and springtime cherry blossoms; large weddings unfold on an expansive bluestone patio off the main lawn. A thoughtful transformation by Akiva Reich & Co. turned the carriage house and stables into elegant guest quarters, installed chic farm‑to‑table restaurant Butterfield on the main level, and modernized the century‑old swimming pool—an authentic country home reimagined as a luxury boutique hotel." - David Shortell
