Onteora Mountain House
Hey everyone.
Funnily enough, The Onteora Mountain House was the first place we saw when we started looking. And saying that is no small deal either. Do you know how many places there are to get married within two hours of NYC?!?!? We looked at barns, cookie cutter reception halls, wineries and inns for weeks, and for some reason, we always kept coming back to Onteora.
When we went up there to visit for the first time we'd already seen three places that day and arrived at Onteora only ot have our breath taken away. The view is amazing. The inn itself is beautiful and quaint. It's was exactly the place we'd always pictured ourselves getting married.
Where should we stay?
One of the great things about the Catskills is that there are so many really beautiful places to stay. We recommend booking rooms early. if you have any questions, please feel free to email us (traciandjeff@gmail.com).
We are recommending a few places to stay, but feel free to explore the area, there are amazing inns and bed & breakfasts around every corner. Please book accommodations as soon as possible, as they fill up very fast the closer you get to summer.
We've put a bunch of rooms on hold at few places and have noted them below.

(Rooms held under Provizer/Kaye Wedding)
The Kate of Kate’s Lazy Meadow is none other then Kate Pierson of the B52’s. That alone should give you an idea of what to expect. The eight rooms here are all decorated pretty 50s kitsch, but not overboard. They also have four Airstream mobile homes decorated personally by Kate and we’ve heard by next summer they might even have a few Tee Pee’s to rent kimosabe. Located five minutes from Onteora Mountain House.

Gift Registry
We can't remember the last time we were asked to come up with lists of presents for people to get us. However, we both remember going through the Toys-R-Us insert in the Sunday paper and drooling over Chanukah presents. Of course our choices were different then, but we're happy to say that we both have similar tastes as adults (although, please note that Jeffrey would like Playstation 3 when they come out. Traci probably does not.).
And we must say this list is only a starting point. There are plenty of things we like more than Calvin Klein Stoneware. If you think you know what we like, you probably do.
REGISTRY SITES
(Ahh, the tried and true! The let you walk through the store with a scanner and pick things you want. Pretty Rad.)
(Very cool web site that serves as registry for cute New York stores)
(this is the one place we were able to find our china pattern. and, although the picture on the site is of that color, ours is actually white on white. very pretty and we're excited about it. yeah, that's right, we're excited about a china pattern. weird.)
