A Wedding Venue with Soul!
The Mod House was the PERFECT choice for our wedding venue. Paula and I were looking for a space that was unique that had soul. The Mod House checked both boxes. The outside space is well kept green lawn surrounded by beautiful trees, plants, and wooden structures that had multiple spots to chill and visit before and after the ceremony. Inside is the speakeasy is like being in a Jazz club in the Bowery in 1966! So freaking cool! EVERYONE tore up the dance floor. Nick and his staff are chill, but very professional with attention to detail. We are sooooo happy we found this spot! Such a memorable day!
Absolutely Perfect Wedding at The Mod House!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding experience at The Mod House with Nick as our host! From the very first inquiry to the last dance of the night, Nick went above and beyond to make our special day absolutely flawless. The Mod House itself is a stunning venue - the perfect blend of contemporary elegance and warm, intimate charm. The space photographs beautifully and provided exactly the sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere we were hoping for. But what truly made our wedding extraordinary was Nick's exceptional service and attention to detail. Nick was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process, always available to answer questions and offer thoughtful suggestions. His experience really shows - he anticipated needs we didn't even know we had and seamlessly handled every aspect of the day's logistics. The setup was gorgeous, the timeline ran like clockwork, and Nick's calm, professional presence kept everything stress-free for us and our families. Our guests are still raving about the venue and the flawless execution of the entire event. Nick clearly takes immense pride in what he does, and it shows in every interaction. If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines a beautiful space with truly exceptional hospitality, The Mod House with Nick is absolutely the perfect choice. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
A hidden gem upstate NY!
The Mod House was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From our first interaction, the staff was polite, caring, and highly professional. They worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was attended to, creating a truly inviting and welcoming atmosphere. The midcentury decor and natural surroundings provided a retro yet warm backdrop, perfectly framing our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding, and we're so grateful to the team at The Mod House for helping to make it an unforgettable experience.
Beautiful, Unique Wedding Venue
I am so happy I chose The Mod House for my small wedding last fall. I decided to leave the planning to Nick, the owner, and I could not be more satisfied. He handled the whole thing with professionalism and was a great communicator throughout the whole process. I felt so supported and never felt like things were unorganized. The space was so unique and incredibly intimate for our 60 guests. The outdoor space is serene and well kept. The house was worthy of the name "Mod House" and the bar downstairs was a total vibe. My guests were so impressed and loved being so close to the wonders of the Catskills ! I can not recommend this house enough to anyone who wants something extra special for their wedding/event !
