Southwood Property Overview

Overlooking the Hudson River and scenic Catskill mountains, Southwood Estate boasts 86 acres of gorgeous gardens, forests, and rolling meadows perfect for an unforgettable outdoor wedding. The timeless pastoral beauty of this stunning estate has been preserved for nearly three centuries, originally built and maintained by the Livingston family until it was finally passed onto the Perry family almost 50 years ago. Offering a private wooded oasis for the weekend of your big day, you and your guests can revel in a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The stunning property provides a significant setting that can be home to many different kinds of weddings, ranging from an elegant historic manor wedding to an outdoor bohemian dream! Imagine exchanging your vows on the lush green fields overlooking a thicket of mature trees and foliage, allowing you to say your “I do’s” amid the chirps of local birds and the song of wind breezing through the trees. Enjoy cocktails on the lawn sheltered by a beautiful historic wedding-cake mansion.
