or inside one of our extraordinary estate homes.
With our Carriage House Restaurant and gourmet chef, 77 guest
beds, and dedicated event planner available on site, we work with
you to customize every detail and make your wedding day the
most beautiful and memorable day of your life.

a-half hour ride from New York City, our staff is happy to arrange
transportation.
Exclusive use of the property is available with a minimum room
booking. Guest rooms are available from $110 per night.
Hosting your wedding at the Carey Institute ensures not just
