Kosher Outdoor Wedding Locations in New York

A father of the bride emailed me recently seeking suggestions for an "outdoor space for a kosher wedding in the New York area" with "water views." I responded:

Here are a few possibilities that your daughter might consider:

I believe that Abigail Kirsch offers kosher menus, and they cater weddings at a number of outdoor/waterview locations including:

• Tappan Hill Mansion
• The Lighthouse at Pier 61
• The Glass Houses

Sinapi's Ceola Manor in Jefferson Valley, NY, can do a kosher menu, I believe.

Although it is not on the water, the Palm House in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a lovely outdoor wedding site, and the on-site caterer does offer kosher menus.

If you'd consider a wedding on the water, Long Island-based Nautical Cruise Lines works with Del-Mir Caterers for kosher weddings.

If traveling to Connecticut is a possibility, you might look into hosting the wedding at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center.
