The historic Locust Grove Estate is a not-for-profit museum and nature preserve located in the heart of the spectacular Hudson River Valley, just off Route 9 in Poughkeepsie New York.  All event rental fees support our educational programs.

Winter special: Dates from December – March are discounted 50% off our regular rates.

The Estate is an unforgettable setting for events throughout the year, with buildings and gardens overlooking the Hudson River that combine the charm of the 19th century with the comfort of the 21^st.

Our West Gallery, located in the Arts-&-Crafts-style Museum Pavilion, offers a unique setting for weddings and private parties.  Guests can enjoy cocktails on the covered terrace and shaded courtyard, then dine and dance in an elegant gallery with hardwood floors, a cathedral ceiling, and three walls of windows and french doors providing access to the estate’s 200 acres of gardens and grounds.

The West Gallery comfortably accommodates between 75 and 150 guests for dinner and dancing, while the adjacent Garden Lawn may also be rented for a ceremony overlooking the perennial gardens. For your convenience, rental includes a caterer’s kitchen, air conditioning, ample restroom facilities, and easy parking.

Locust Grove only schedules one party each evening (all events start after 5pm), so you and your guests are assured a very private event.

Planning a smaller party, or a rehearsal dinner?  Greystone House – a private residence on the estate grounds – is available for ceremonies and cocktail parties, or dinner with up to 30 guests. Discounted rates do not apply to events at Greystone House.

Interested in wedding photos or group photos? A permit is required for all wedding and other group events.
