The Clubhouse at Patriot Hills

Brian and I looked at two different venues to hold our ceremony and reception – The Clubhouse at Patriot Hills in Stony Point and the New York Country Club in New Hempstead. Right off the bat, we got a better “feeling” from Patriot Hills. It ultimately came down to:

The Staff. The staff at Patriot Hills seemed to genuinely care about our event. They were beyond helpful and not in the least bit pushy. Plus, they threw in a free fajita station for Brian straight off the bat.

The Interior. The interior, where we will be the majority of the event, is spectacular. The bar areas are huge and the ballroom has phenomenal windows overlooking the golf course. It has a plain elegance that will match virtually anything we plan out.

The Price. We got more for our money at Patriot Hills. Enough said.

As mentioned, our ceremony will be held on-site. Weather permitting, it will take place on the outdoor patio. Cocktail hour tables will be set up both indoors and outdoors (all food will be indoors).

For more information on the caterers and venue, visit the websites for Inncredible Caterers and Patriot Hills Golf Course. We hope our guests love the location as much as we did!








About Patriot Hills. Upon reaching the entrance to Patriot Hills, one finds it hard not to notice the beautiful stone buildings along the site's perimeter. The grounds on which Patriot Hills is located is the former site of Letchworth Village. The facility, named after wealthy Quaker businessman William Pryor Letchworth, opened on July 11, 1911 and was phased out in the 1990s.

The buildings were constructed from fieldstone gathered from nearby fields. Every resident had some hand in the operation of the institution which was designed to be as self-sufficient as possible. The schools set up at Letchworth Village focused on academics and industrial classes that supported the facility's operation. There was a large and profitable farm operation, as well as an industrial arts program that provided rugs, furniture and other crafts for sale to local residents.
