Wedding Venue in Waverly, NY

Discover a scenic setting for ceremonies, receptions, wedding photography and destination celebrations in Upstate New York.

Your wedding should feel like you — beautiful, relaxed, memorable, and surrounded by the people who matter most. At Shepard Hills, couples can celebrate in a scenic setting with open space, beautiful views, and the flexibility to create a wedding day that feels truly personal.

Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, Shepard Hills offers a setting where your ceremony, reception, photographs, and time with family and friends can all become part of one unforgettable experience.

A Wedding Destination Worth Discovering

Shepard Hills offers something increasingly difficult to find: room to breathe, room to celebrate, and a setting that feels removed from the rush of everyday life. The surrounding landscape creates a naturally beautiful backdrop for ceremonies, receptions, wedding photographs, and quiet moments throughout the day.

For couples from the local region, Shepard Hills provides a convenient and familiar destination. For couples traveling from New York City and other metropolitan areas, it offers the opportunity to leave the city behind and turn the wedding into a relaxing getaway for family and friends.

Your Ceremony. Your Celebration. Your Style.

Every couple has a different vision. Some imagine a traditional ceremony followed by dinner and dancing. Others want a more relaxed celebration where guests can spend time together, enjoy the surroundings, take photographs, and make an entire day — or weekend — out of the occasion.

Our goal is to provide a welcoming setting that helps you create a celebration that reflects your personality, your families, and your story.

Beautiful Spaces & Memorable Views

One of the great advantages of a Shepard Hills wedding is the variety of scenery available throughout the property. Landscaped grounds, open views, mature trees, and the character of the golf course create numerous opportunities for memorable photographs and special moments.

From the first photographs of the day through sunset, dinner, and the final celebration of the evening, the setting becomes part of your wedding story.

More Than a Wedding Day

A destination wedding does not need to mean traveling across the country. Shepard Hills gives couples the opportunity to create a getaway-style wedding within New York State.

Guests can arrive, settle in, explore the surrounding area, enjoy time together, and make the wedding part of a larger weekend experience. Golfers in the wedding party or family may even enjoy a round of golf before or after the celebration.

For couples coming from New York City, this combination of beautiful surroundings, open space, and a relaxed atmosphere can provide a refreshing alternative to a traditional city wedding.

Wedding Photography Opportunities

Wedding photographs are some of the few parts of the day that will remain with you for a lifetime. Shepard Hills provides a variety of natural backgrounds and changing views throughout the property, giving photographers many opportunities to create images that feel different from one another while remaining part of the same wedding story.

We look forward to sharing photographs from real Shepard Hills weddings and helping future couples imagine their own celebration here.

Planning Your Shepard Hills Wedding

Choosing a wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions in the planning process. You need to know that the setting feels right, that it works for your guests, and that you can picture yourself celebrating there.

We encourage couples to learn about Shepard Hills, explore the wedding options, view photographs, ask questions, and schedule a visit. Seeing the property in person is often the best way to begin imagining what your own wedding could look like.

Come See Shepard Hills

Pictures can introduce you to a wedding venue, but there is nothing quite like seeing it for yourself. Walk the property, take in the views, imagine where your photographs might be taken, and begin picturing your family and friends celebrating with you.

We would love to help you discover what your wedding at Shepard Hills could become.
