Weddings at Book Village Inn
Vows beneath the pines
In the heart of Hobart, the Book Village of the Catskills, our 1830s inn brings antique-furnished rooms, shelves of well-loved books, and the quiet of the valley to your wedding weekend.
Gather everyone beneath the trees for the ceremony, take golden-hour portraits by the river, and send your closest people off to five author-named rooms at the end of the night.
From a quiet elopement or vow renewal to a full wedding weekend for up to 75 guests, the whole place is made yours.

What do we need to arrange ourselves?
Tents for inclement weather, outdoor heating or cooling, transportation, event planning, and music are not supplied, so plan to arrange these separately.
Can we elope or renew our vows here?
Yes. The inn is as well suited to an intimate elopement or vow renewal as it is to a full wedding weekend, with riverside spots and nearby trails for portraits.
Where is the inn, and how far is it from New York City?
We are at 760 Main Street in Hobart, New York, the Book Village of the Catskills, about three hours from New York City.
