These Sound Shore wedding venues prove fall foliage isn’t the only picturesque wedding backdrop Westchester County has to offer.

Here in the Hudson Valley, we tend to talk up our namesake river on a regular basis. Still, when it comes to gorgeous views and en plein air wedding venues, we’re just as happy to pull up our Instagram and flip through dozens of saved shots from Westchester’s other scenic water vista, the Sound Shore. Below, here are a few of our favorites.

*Please check with local venues for the latest COVID-19 protocols, policies, and details.*

459 Stuyvesant Ave, Rye

The West Porch is perfect for intimate gatherings, comfortably seating between 25 and 75 guests, while the ballroom can entertain up to 200. Both are adjoined by a bucolic lawn that is absolutely ideal for outdoor ceremonies, first looks, party portraits, or even engagement shoots. Other choice locations include the welcome arch and nearby gatehouse.
