20 Manor Drive - a Private Estate for Intimate Celebrations, Artist Retreats & Residencies
Just outside New York City, hidden among mature trees and open grounds, 20 Manor Drive is a privately owned estate opened selectively for gatherings that value beauty, understated elegance and sophistication.
This is not a traditional venue. It is a place for people who can instinctively feel the difference between the ordinary and the unforgettable.
A Private Setting for Celebrations That Feel Personal
Weddings at 20 Manor Drive are not built around packages, templates, or production schedules. They unfold naturally, across gardens, under the trees, beside the pool, and within the home itself. Shaped by your people, your rhythm, and your vision.
Our Philosophy
We host a limited number of events each year.
This allows us to preserve the integrity of the estate and ensure that every celebration feels intentional, cared for, and aligned with the spirit of the property.
Most couples find us through personal recommendations rather than listing platforms. It is that sense of discovery that is something we value.
20 Manor Drive is happy to work with outside planners and vendors, allowing each wedding to be approached as a custom collaboration rather than a preset offering.
We’re delighted to collaborate with seasoned planners who understand the unique considerations of hosting events at private estates and recognize the distinct differences from traditional venues.
A Place for Creators
At the heart of the estate is a working artist studio - a rare feature that attracts makers, collectors, and creative communities.
From hands-on workshops to long-form residencies, 20 Manor Drive offers an environment where creativity feels grounded, uninterrupted, and alive.
The Estate
Set on expansive, secluded grounds in Goldens Bridge, NY, 20 Manor Drive offers the rare experience of hosting a gathering in a space that feels personal, layered, and quietly grand, more European countryside estate than commercial event property. Ceremonies and celebrations can be hosted outdoors among towering old-growth trees, lush open lawns and ancient rock formations or thoughtfully integrated within the home or the studio. Larger guest counts are accommodated through elegant outdoor tented dining, allowing the natural setting to remain the focal point.
The estate features:
Multiple outdoor settings framed by trees, lawns, and natural light
A private residence with guest accommodations on site
A pool and outdoor leisure areas designed for unhurried time together
An on-site artist studio for sculpture, metalwork, and creative exploration
Thoughtful indoor spaces that transition seamlessly into the landscape
Every detail designed for presence, not spectacle.
Guest Experience
With on-site accommodations and generous indoor and outdoor spaces, couples often choose to extend the celebration beyond a single day - creating room for welcome dinners, relaxed mornings, or post-wedding gatherings with family and friends. Inquire about full weekend celebration.
