Venues & Event Spaces near Averill Park, NY

“Perfect day, perfect baby shower! Hosted my daughter’s baby shower at Sand Lake Merchant middle of May (yes it was a sunny day believe it or not!) Very comfortable atmosphere. Accommodating, Organized and very clean. The upstairs event area was a perfect setting for our family and friends. Melissa, the Event Coordinator, managed/supported us to ensure a lovely event. She made sure everything was in order and just right along with guiding us with those things we wouldn’t have thought of. Her friendly, cheerful nature was welcoming to all. The upstairs event area has 2 restrooms and a bar plus a kitchen area with industrial refrigerators- barn door closure from main event area. Don’t fret on parking as there is ample parking across from the Towne Tavern which is just a few steps away. As shared earlier- it was a perfect day, a perfect event. Highly recommend!”

“Emma was a fantastic server to our large dinner party on a busy Saturday night. The food & drinks came out flawlessly. The scallop special was particularly good. All the steaks that were ordered were cooked to perfection. We brought a photographer in to record the event and staff were very accommodating. Emma even cut up and served the cake we brought in. Would highly recommend for any type of special event dinner!”

“Long story short, book this venue!! Not only is it a beautiful space, but Brandon and Jane were so great to work with. I loved that there was indoor and outdoor sections so guests didn't feel forced to stay inside and dance/sit at their tables if they didn't want to. We had so many guests say that they loved the outdoor area and the fire pit. We also brought outdoor games which were a big hit. I also loved that there were spots to get ready right on the venue grounds for both the bride and groom - so many venues seem to only offer spots for the brides, so we liked that the groom got some love here, too! I also rented Grey House for the night before - highly recommend doing that, it was so fun to hang out there the night before my wedding with my bridal party, and nice to know I had a 45 second walk to the venue the next day :-)

I also cannot say enough good things about Kelly & Tonya at Bashes - if you have the opportunity to use them after booking at Greywacke, DO IT!! They were such a huge part in making the day as successful, fun, and beautiful as it was.

Looking back, I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere but Greywacke. I can't recommend this venue enough!”

“We hosted a 35 person work event at the Refuge Event space and it did not disappoint! Our guests loved that they could move between the inside space and the outdoor courtyard. The kitchen had everything you could need and more. Tara, the owner was super helpful and responsive leading up to and during the event. We are so happy we got to support a local business and had a wonderful time!”

“Easy parking in the garage just a few doors down from this well thought out venue. I was here for a wedding. I enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff was working hard and doing a great job. The food was good. The appetizers were presented very nicely on the tables. Overall a great experience.”

“After capturing events at Takk House, experiencing their staff and food, I cannot say enough great things about them! The location is easy to access, the historic nature of the rooms are gorgeous, the food is remarkable and the staff is endlessly helpful. If you are looking for an upstate New York wedding location, this is a wonderful one!”
