As a guest at "Josh K."s wedding, I cannot agree with this review more. The entire weekend was…read morededicated to the bride, groom and their guests. The grounds were a stunning setting for a wedding, from the pond-front ceremony (featuring swans!) to the rose garden cocktail hour, to the starlit reception, the setting could not have been more perfect. The staff was remarkable, from the Friday night rehearsal right through the night Saturday. When a pocket of rain came through moments before the outfoor ceremony was to begin, the event coordinator had the bridal party and groomsmen notified of the weather pattern and our options. When the rains passed soon after, staff was immediately out wiping down the seats for the wedding guests. There was barely a hiccup. What I cannot stop raving about is the FOOD! We have all been to weddings with sub-par/standard fare. This was anything but. The bride and groom are a well traveled couple and opted for more ethnic cuisine. I didn't know where to begin! They went from a typical Italian dish, Korean BBQ, to scrumptious Mexican with guacamole that will blow your mind. Over the two days following the wedding, a couple of us realized we had forgotten some things at the Mansion. I went back to retrieve tank tops, shoes, and even the cup cakes that we hadn't finished! They made sure to keep the family heirlooms left behind neatly in tact, and all unused wedding favors and center pieces were returned instead of thrown away. The only thing keeping me from recommending this gem is that I don't want to make the bride and groom share :)

Well done. We're going back next month, can't wait.

The tasting room is beautiful, clean, and there is a ton of bar seating as well as tables, and more tables outside. Upon walking in, there's a sign to wait for the hostess to seat you. Since we came for a tasting, we were seated at the bar. We looked forward to the standard tasting (7, 3/4 oz pours), but found out once we were seated that they weren't doing those that day because they were busier earlier in the day. Instead, they offered us a flight (4, 2oz pours) for $15. However the glasses didn't have lines on them and the pours we got were significantly less than the couple next to us who were served by a different person. As far as the wines, they had a variety of sweet and dry, red and white, but I didn't find any that I loved. If I lived in the area I would definitely come back for the atmosphere, since this seems like a great space for events, or with friends since they have a large selection of wines. I also felt like the staff were helpful and friendly too.

As a member of the Lake association I was allowed to rent the association clubhouse building for Friday and Saturday. Everyone had a wonderful time. Dwight and his staff showed up promptly on time, set up quickly and efficiently. They were very accommodating and cooperative and were a contributing factor in success of my daughter's wedding. I give him a solid five stars! It would be a six if there was such a thing. ;) They are based locally in Hudson falls and their pretended recipes, service and prices are beyond reproach. Book early if you are interested in using his services, because he is swamped. He brings everything to the table (literally) and leaves nothing to chance. Thank you Dwight from Big D's BBQ. And a special thanks to his two staff members who were kind, helpful, professional and attentive!!! The smoked barbecue chicken, the pulled pork, and especially the brisket that got wiped out quickly was the talk of the party! The finger rolls and cornbread were the best I've ever tasted. This was served with an excellent coleslaw and a fabulous potato salad. Dwight made sure that there was absolutely no shortage of any of the catered food. We contracted for 50 guests. But I swear he cooked enough food for 100. I literally just spent 2 hours packing away the leftovers this morning. This is after insisting that anyone who wanted and could please take a large pan of barbecue products home! Don't forget that they have multiple flavors of custom BBQ sauces. Each one is different and unique but very flavorful. I found them pleasantly, very thick and he suggested I stretched them a little with red wine vinegar which of course, extended the yield of each bottle!! He gave me two bottles during the contracting time which I experimented with various meats leading up to the wedding. And they were overly exceptional! I can see why the reviews were so fabulous! Thank you !!!!

The menu had your classic like chicken parmigiana and chicken piccata to name a few but the presentation made everything fresh, modern and elevated . The crab & shrimp fritters are a MUST. Please order them. The crispy exterior, filling and the hot honey sauce create a wonderful bite with a touch of heat. All the desserts are made in house including the gelato. It's a pricier night out but worth every penny. Panza's is in a league all their own when it comes to fine dining.

For secondi I had roasted duck breast, lean and tender with a tasty fig demi-glace. My wife had their eggplant parmigiana and it was probably one of the best we've ever had: generous, flavorful, not oily and not drowned in cheese. The fried eggplant really stood out with a nice bite. For dulce we had a rum baba which was just sweet enough and basted with rum and garnished with some of the best marinated cherries ever.

My husband and I just recently got married at Burlap and Beams on 10/6/2018. This was the only…read morevenue we looked at it well over a year ago and I knew instantly it was perfect. The combination of an exquisite background of the lower Adirondacks, stunning renovated barns, and an owner who puts so much care and love into her property made booking Burlap and Beams a no-brainer. All of my questions over the past year were promptly answered by Terri, not only with information but with a personalized genuineness that made me feel like I wasn't just "another bride." Over the course of the year, many upgrades were made to the already beautiful barns such as a brand new bar, upgraded chandeliers and lights, and more gorgeous plants and flowers than you can imagine (all planted and maintained by Terri.) The day of our wedding was pure magic. The property was so gorgeous under the overcast, fall day. The fog over the mountains behind where we were married, combined with the foliage of the mountains, was epic and surreal. Terri switched out some beautiful hydrangea garlands over the cocktail hour space because she wanted fresh flowers for the day. (I'll note that every time I have been to the barns she is out and about getting her hands dirty with planting and decorating.) The space is interactive multiple buildings. It is the perfect size, too. It didn't feel too big for a smaller wedding of 80, such as ours. It is also large enough to hold many more people, without it feeling too cramped. The main barn is literally done for you; you don't have to do a THING. The lights, garlands over the brand new bar and on the walls, and new lighting create this amazing atmosphere. While she used to have a huge mason jar chandelier, she upgraded this past season to these gorgeous wrought iron chandeliers. With that said, even though this venue is a barn and it's name may have the word "burlap" in in, it is by no means your run of the mill generic "rustic barn" style venue. Terri most definitely knows how to update the barn as the seasons change and different wedding decor goes in and out of style (as well as maintain the staples that remain season after season.) Burlap and Beams also has a barn that is filled with decorations. We used wood slabs for our centerpieces, chalkboard easels, and a number of other decorative pieces that were all there for us to use. In addition to the barns, the property extends to a flowing brook surrounded by trees. There are hanging lights scattered throughout the trees, as well. This made for an EPIC photo location, it was so gorgeous. I am so happy we found Burlap and Beams. Terri is wonderful and an amazing owner of this gorgeous property. The value is excellent and if you are someone who visions a more DIY-style wedding where you can opt for something other than a pre-packaged plan, Burlap and Beams is for you.
