The Gatsby – Vernon, NY

About this venue

The Gatsby in Vernon is such a fun choice for couples who want something classy, elegant, and completely different from the typical ballroom wedding. This 1920s-inspired speakeasy venue is packed with charm, from the crystal chandeliers and vintage bar to the warm, moody details that make the whole space feel intentional. It has indoor and outdoor ceremony options, an all-day bridal suite, three fireplaces, a private covered porch, and a private outdoor patio, so the day has a really nice flow from getting ready to the final song. The biggest win here is how much they handle for you. Their all-inclusive packages can include catering, cake and desserts, DJ service, floral staff, a digital photo booth, furnishings, setup, breakdown, and day-of coordination, which makes it a great option for couples who want the venue to take a lot off their plate.

Why we love it

The speakeasy vibe is just cool. It feels classy without being stuffy, and there are so many thoughtful little details throughout the space that make it feel like an experience for your guests, not just another reception room.

And the secret bookcase wall that opens onto the dance floor? Such a fun moment. Guests love anything unexpected, and that kind of entrance adds so much personality to the reception. It gives the night a little extra energy before the party even really starts.

We also love how helpful the staff is with day-of coordination. When a venue team is organized and hands-on, it makes the whole day feel smoother for the couple and for vendors. Pair that with their all-inclusive packages, and this is a great option for couples who want a beautiful wedding without managing a million separate moving pieces.
