Enjoy your stay in the comfort of a beautiful country house and celebrate in absolute privacy surrounded by nature. Windrift Hall is set back in time and space. You’ll find yourself a world apart, but in close vicinity to the picturesque village of Coxsackie, 20min to Hudson’s train station and Albany’s airport and a 2h drive from NYC. Whether you plan a small gathering with 20 of your nearest and dearest or a bigger event with 200, we offer an intimate and personal setting, very different from the usual corporate venues. Exchange your vows under the spell of our 250 year old maple tree or in between ivy covered stone walls overlooking the pond. Enjoy cocktails on the patio, lawngames in between the flower gardens, your reception in the open fields or in the shelter of our 1200sf pavilion overlooking a private lake. To help you set the tone, we assembled a unique collection of everything you might need for your special day. Tables, chairs, china, silver, glassware and decorations are all part of your event package. You’ll find all logistics in one place, so you can focus on what matters most to you and your loved ones. For a detailed list of our curated collection, please refer to Rentals and check our Vendors for some suggestions.

We worked closely with the Town of Coxsackie to host your event in a safe and nurtering environment. Please find below more details for pricing and event regulations and if all this sounds like what you're looking for, we would be happy to to take you on a tour.
