“Nestled into the forest of Shandelee Mountain, the Arnold House is meant to be rented out for an entire weekend, which is why it holds only eight weddings a year. At this true country retreat — spread out over seven acres — couples can hold outdoor events all over the grounds. Consider a wedding ceremony in the wildflower meadows and a reception in the refurbished 1940s pole barn, with dinner of homegrown garden veggies and fish pulled from the nearby river served on hand-hewn antique farm tables. Cap off the party the next morning with brunch on the sundeck. VIP guests can stay in the ten inviting rooms (with cork floors and antique furniture) on the property.”– NY Mag

Invite your guests into the Arnold House Tavern, with its woodstove roaring for cocktail hour. A fully equipped bar with a jukebox, pool table, and welcoming staff will make your big day as special and unique as the two of you. Enjoy seasonally-focused appetizers in this bubbly setting (no pun intended).

And since this is your BIG day, maybe you want to extend it as much as possible and throw a wedding weekend instead to give you plenty of time – and different backdrops and experiences – to truly provide your loved ones with a wedding to remember – and give you enough time to soak it all in! We can help you kick things off on Friday night with a fun get-together – maybe a casual cocktail party over a serious game of horseshoes at the Arnold or a family-style dinner and bowling party at their sibling property, The North Branch Inn. Extend your weekend just a tad longer by offering a great brunch menu on Sunday before everyone heads their separate ways.
“My husband Casey and I hosted our wedding at The Arnold House this June and WOW, what an experience! Since the beginning, working alongside this team was nothing short of amazing.
When we brought our families to the Arnold House to do our dinner tasting, this is where we met the Event Coordinator, Emily Cairns. Emily instantly impressed us with her cheerful demeanor and attention to detail during our planning conversations. She was especially impressed during the wedding weekend when she was by our side the whole time, ready to help whenever needed, and always putting our nerves at ease. Thank you Emily for making us feel right at home!
One of the highlights of our wedding experience was the dedication, passion, & talent that went into the food, thanks to Chef Bones. Not many people get to meet their wedding chef, but we were able to get to know and hang out with him throughout the planning process and during the wedding weekend. We loved watching him work his magic at the rehearsal dinner and wedding night, and loved trying all of his delicious farm-to-table creations! He even incorporated some of our favorite hometown dishes, which were so special to us.
Great venue, great food, and even BETTER people! We cannot wait to go back and enjoy a beer at the Tavern with these folks & spend many, many, future anniversaries celebrating our love at this special place.”
