From December to March, Full Moon Resort, nestled in a valley surrounded by snow-caps, is a magical world of its own - a perfect setting for destination winter weddings in the Catskill Mountains. Picture a weekend of friends and family enjoying the splendor of the property's snow-covered lawns and meadows, the grandeur of the neighboring mountain ski centers, fireside gatherings, comfortable guest rooms and excellent cuisine - all wrapped in the warm blanket of a very special celebration of love.
For a weekend-long wedding event, guests arrive on Friday to a fireside winter barbeque in the Café... followed by an evening with smores and hot rum apple cider in the glow of a streamside campfire. After a comfortable night in one of the facility's lodges or cottages, wake up to a full country breakfast. Acres of fields, trails and gentle slopes are just right for cross country skiing and snowshoeing (Guests must bring equipment). For downhill skiers, Belleayre Mountain, one of the premier family ski centers in the state, is just fifteen minutes from Full Moon. And for those who simply prefer the comforts of the inn at Full Moon, complimentary hot chocolate, organic coffees and herbal teas are available throughout the day.
