The Best Hotels for a Country Wedding Outside of New York

"Two hours from Manhattan along the New York–Connecticut line, this feels like a sumptuous club spread across 250 acres, with tennis courts, a pool, and a constellation of historic barns, manors, and cottages tucked into the woods. The walled garden—built over a century ago to house the world’s largest private clematis collection and now lush with ivy—is a dream ceremony setting, and the meticulous renovation by Alexandra Champalimaud and team preserves the estate’s historical character while bringing every touch up to date, resulting in a genuine hospitality masterpiece." - David Shortell
