A Romatically Rainy Wedding at Mohonk Preserve
The weather can be as unpredictable as your uncle's dance moves on your big day, but that doesn’t have to dampen your spirits. For Valanda, née Valerio and Amanda, the rain brought moody mountain silhouettes and all their favorite people huddled together under one big happy tent. And we can’t forget the good luck! Andrew Franciosa Studio did an exquisite job capturing all there was to celebrate…
About the Venue: The Slingerland Pavilion is a magnificent open-air, cedar pavilion located near Mohonk Preserve’s Spring Farm trailhead that offers sweeping, uninterrupted views of wildflower fields and the Catskill mountains in the distance. The Mohonk Preserve is also home to the legendary Mohonk Mountain House, just a two minute drive up the road from the Slingerland Pavilion. It’s a truly magical location to get married.
“Upstate Jamboree provided the games at my wedding, they also provided an exceptional wood-clack and laughter soundtracked atmosphere. Holy moly I love everything about these guys and then some. Responsive, easy to work with, and providing beautifully crafted wood pieces that will make your event one to remember. I can’t wait to see their games again.”
— VALERIO RUSSO, GROOM
Valerio and Amanda reserved a custom Game Rental Package #3. This included their selection of Cornhole with an accompanying set of Drink Tables, Gruyere, Dutch Shuffleboard, Tipsy Timbers (aka giant Jenga), DiscGo, Four Ball Billiards, Tower of Hanoi, a custom Seating Vignette Lounge, and our life-sized version of their favorite game, Chess, with its Lounge add-on.
Their all-inclusive package also included: free white-glove delivery to the Slingerland Pavilion in the Mohonk Preserve; full set-up of all games before their guest arrival; instruction cards for most games; an attendant present during their gaming hours to reset the games as they’re played, answer guests’ questions, and offer playing tips; and complete breakdown at the end of their wedding.
