The Promise Gardens of the Adirondacks Reviews

The Promise Gardens was the most beautiful venue we ever could have imagined for our wedding. The beauty of the property truly exceeded every expectation we ever could have had. Terri truly has a talent for gardening and clearly had a wonderful vision for her property that she has brought to life for all her guests to enjoy. Terri and her team made us feel like family and were always quick to respond with a text or call for any of our questions.

So many of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to, not to mention the location in the Adirondacks makes for a very unique wedding experience for our guests. The property feels so private and yet you're only 10 minutes away from Lake George and 40 from Saratoga (where our guests stayed).

The Promise Gardens recommended vendors list was so helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed working with each vendor we chose.

I would recommend the Promise Gardens over and over again. 10/10 was the perfect wedding. Thank you Terri and the Team! :)

After my fiancee and I first toured this property, we found ourselves comparing every new venue we toured to the Promise Gardens. The gardens, rustic barn and beautiful dinner tent provided everything we dreamed of and more. All of our guests wouldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was on our wedding day. Also, working with Terri and Yana leading up to our day was amazing. They always answered every question quickly, and provided the best vendor recommendations! We would definitely recommend the Promise Gardens to everyone looking for an Adirondack wedding.

The Promise Gardens is the most magical and beautiful wedding venue! We had our wedding reception there on July 16th, 2022 and it was the most perfect place for us! Terri was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. She maintained open communication along with her Client Experience Manager Yana, answered our questions quickly and efficiently, and made excellent vendor recommendations. The property itself is truly so unique and gorgeous! With the breathtaking gardens, the mountain views, rustic barns, chic white dining tent, and expansive lawn, The Promise Gardens has so much to offer. We had our cocktail hour out on the lawn with fun lawn games and a bar car, formal dances under the enchanting walkway, family style dinner in the dining tent, and dancing & drinks in the rustic barn. Guests ended the night by the fire pit with some late night snacks. During our venue walkthrough the Friday before our wedding, Terri was there to greet us while planting beautiful new flowers down the stone walkways! She transformed her property into the magical fairytale wedding we've always dreamed of. She consistently makes updates to the property that enhance its natural beauty even more and you can tell she truly cares about the couples who book with her. She was there the day of too with a big smile on her face! Our guests have said our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to! Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding the most magical and lovely day! We're so grateful for The Promise Gardens, Terri and her entire team!

Terri was incredible. Not only is she one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, she has an amazing property with so much charm. I never knew what my dream wedding venue would be until I saw The Promise Gardens. After I found this venue everything else for my wedding fell into place like it was a sign I found the perfect place. I will always cherish the day I married my best friend at the most amazing venue.

Wow, what a STUNNING location. As soon as we walked into the barn we knew no place could compare to The Promise Gardens. Terri takes meticulous care of the gardens and the grounds and has done an incredible amount of work over the past two years to renovate and update. This place is a photographer’s and couple’s dream come true with beautiful little nooks and crannies all over the grounds, gorgeous views of the mountains in the background, and a wonderful canopied walkway complete with twinkling lights. One of our favorite things about The Promise Gardens was the slight separation between dining and dancing areas, allowing those who would prefer to socialize the ability to do so without straining to hear each other but also being close enough to the fun to feel included. We highly recommend The Promise Gardens! Thank you Terri and Danielle!

The Promise Gardens of the Adirondacks (formerly Burlap & Beams) was the first and only venue that my then fiancé and I looked at. As soon as we stepped on to the grounds we knew that it was the only place we could see ourselves getting married. The main selling points for us were: the view (oh my, those mountains are gorgeous), the fact that there were multiple barns which gave people the opportunity to spread out, the fire pit, and of course the gorgeous gardens.

We were originally supposed to get married in 2020 but Covid had other plans. Terri (venue owner) was super responsive and quick to offer alternate dates for 2021 without requiring us to pay 2021 prices, which unfortunately several other vendors did require. Although we were not thrilled to have to postpone our wedding for a year, throughout that time Terri went to town making updates and making the property even more gorgeous. One of my favorite additions that she added was a porch with tables off of the dance floor/bar area. We ended up having our dream wedding in July of this year and it was PERFECT.

Guests are still raving about how gorgeous it was, and there were countless locations for perfect photos. I wish I could do it all over again there, the venue is so magical!

I couldn't imagine a more perfect venue to get married at. When we saw the venue in June of 2020, it was beautiful, but the upgrades Terri made over the past year made it even better! One of my favorite things about the venue is it's so beautiful as is. Terri has done a great job decorating the barn with lights, drapery, and wall hangings, so we just had to provide table décor and accents to add our personal touches! There were so many picture opportunities, and lots of space for people to spread out and mingle. We especially loved having the porch attached to the barn, so guests who didn't want to dance, but still wanted to be close to the party, could hang out. One thing to keep in mind is the music must end at 10pm... this is mapped out in the contract, but just something to keep in mind! Thankfully we had a sunny day and were able to get married in front of the mountains. It was more beautiful than we could have imagined. Truly a day we will never forget!

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding last summer at Burlap and Beams and I was in complete awe of the venue. Not only were the historic barns absolutely breathtaking with stunning natural charm and all the additional special touches that Terri has added, but the beautiful perennial gardens definitely sets this venue apart from any other. The babbling brook and stunning mountain back drop will allow you 100's of "one of a kind" photo opportunities!! Terri has set the bar high, her professionalism and experience will make you feel comfortable planning your Big Day!! I would highly recommend Burlap & Beams to anyone considering their dream barn wedding. You will not be disappointed!!

We were looking for a relaxed but sophisticated barn venue with a place to have the ceremony outdoors and Burlap and Beams was that and more! Beautiful surrounding scenery, truly amazing landscaping, lovely arch for the ceremony with the backdrop of mountains, quaint barns with unique and memorable details for us to get ready in, an elegantly lit barn for dancing in, an ethereally draped tent with really cool farm tables for eating in, and a transparently covered walkway for dancing under the stars- everything was just perfect, and noticed and appreciated by our guests. It created a beautiful atmosphere without trying. Terry was great to work with, very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend this venue!

This location is absolutely beautiful! Breathtaking! They had done amazing updates from when we first visited the venue and we couldn’t be happier. Everyone was in absolute awe of the beauty of the venue. The ceremony space was perfect, with mountains in the background, and the barns are impeccable. Honestly, the fact that the venue was this incredible made up for all the other glitches from the vendors I chose for the event. Thank god i chose this venue, because on my big day, it’s beauty blinded me from all other issues. The owner has incredible flowers blooming everywhere, a fire pit which they light for you, and gorgeous accommodations for the bride and groom to get ready. It’s just absolutely lovely. You don’t have to bother spending money on decorations or flowers. I can not wait to get my photos! It’s a photographers dream! I can’t speak enough to this venue. I wish I could convince my friends to marry there so I have an excuse to go back! The owner Terry is very lucky to call that location home!

My wedding day at Burlap and Beams was nothing short of magical. Terri truly goes above and beyond for all of her couples and wants your day to run as smoothly as possible. Everything at the venue is so pristine and charming...from the gardens to the barn itself. Dealing with Terri was so stress free and her communication was fabulous. I highly recommend Burlap and Beams!

My wife and I were searching for a rustic and charming Adirondack location for our wedding, so we were enamored with Burlap and Beams the second we stumbled upon its website. The pristine mountain backdrop perfect balance of understated elegance in the barns made us feel right at home! Terri was thoughtful and extremely helpful as we consulted with her, providing some valuable tips during planning. We booked the venue over a year in advance, and each time we visited we were thrilled to see Terri's exciting new updates - from the small touches such as tulle accents draped from the ceiling, to bolder statement pieces like the gorgeous live edge bar top.

The venue was easy to personalize, so we incorporated our own designs into the decor. Looking at photos from weddings both before and after ours at B&B, we felt that each was unique, appreciating that it was not a one-size-fits-all experience. Opting for simpler centerpieces and flowers, we chose to let the natural beauty of the venue speak for itself. It did not disappoint! Guests were raving about the place, enjoying games of corn hole, sitting and chatting around the fire pit, and soaking in truly remarkable views. We felt that Burlap and Beams reflected our style impeccably and would highly recommend it!

As soon as we looked at the website, we were sold on Burlap & Beams! And even more so when we visited Terri's property for a tour. Throughout the process, Terri was responsive and helpful with any inquiries we had. We knew we wanted a barn wedding and were impressed when we saw what Terri's package included. Many barns require several additional vendors, but because Terri's included tables, dinner chairs, ceremony chairs, the arbor, the stunning lighting all over the property, the dinner tent, etc., we felt the price was a great value. We used mostly her preferred vendors and that helped everything come together so smoothly. Terri's venue is truly unique and gave our guests an experience they would never have had anywhere else - our guests were able to dance when they wanted to, take a break outside or in one of the smaller barns (and get a break from the heat!), play some cornhole, or sit at the firepit - this provided exactly the relaxed, but still elegant event we were looking for. Tip: highly recommend hiring a wedding coordinator for this venue. This helped all the vendors stay on the same page and ensured that Terri's property was left the way we found it (so we didn't have to worry about it!). Thank you Terri for all of the work you put into your property to make Burlap & Beams a one-of-a-kind wedding venue!

Could not have dreamt this any better! Such stunning and beautiful views! A must for your special day!! I wouldn’t have changed a thing!! Terri is a true professional!! Thank you for making our day so memorable and creating a true happily ever after!

What a beautiful venue !!! Everything is amazing here !!! Terri goes above & beyond to make sure your special day is absolutely perfect !!!!

When we first saw this venue via internet we fell in love with it instantly. So much that we booked it right away. Terris venue was everything we were looking for. We barely needed anything because she kept it so beautiful. She was so nice and understanding. We simply loved this venue. It was our dream wedding. Thank you!

This venue is absolutely spectacular. Terri has nailed rustic barn charm with classic elegance!! The grounds and gardens are stunning spring, summer or fall. Both of my children had their senior portraits taken on her grounds. The most beautiful pictures ever.

My husband and I just recently got married at Burlap and Beams on 10/6/2018. This was the only venue 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.

I came across Burlap & Beams on Facebook several years ago, even before I met my husband. I immediately fell in love with it, and knew then that someday I'd have a rustic, barn wedding. Over the years I continued to follow Burlap and Beams and the updates that Terri has so carefully and beautifully made. When my husband and I got engaged, Burlap and Beams was at the top of our list and we immediately jumped on it.

From the day we booked Burlap and Beams to the wedding day, Terri was amazing. We live in California and were planning our wedding from a far. Terri was always available to quickly answer any questions we had. As a bride, you can tell that Terri wants your day to be absolutely perfect, and is willing to help in any way she can. We even found two old doors in Terri's shed that she allowed us to add chicken wire to so that we could display pictures of us as kids on the day of the wedding-- an idea I got from Pinterest. They are still there for anyone to use!

When our wedding day finally came, Burlap & Beams literally took my breath away. All of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was. And can we talk about those hydrangeas! Absolutely Stunning! We cannot recommend Burlap & Beams enough! Thank you Terri!

THIS MADE MY DREAM WEDDING COME TRUE!! I am obsessed with this venue. It was great because you can do the ceremony outside with the mountains in the back then have cocktail hour outside, then you are eating in a covered tent and then there are still two barns to hang out in! We used the smaller barn for a whiskey bar (huge hit!) and a photo booth area. In the large barn was the DJ, bar, and dancing! If that’s not enough, there was even a fire pit with chairs all along it (great for s’mores). I am truly happy I found this place and the owner is absolutely amazing! I totally recommend this venue

Burlap and Beams was the perfect venue for our summer wedding! The scenery is unbelievable; from the beautiful mountains in the background as we said our vows under the greenery filled arch, to the spacious patio where we had our first dance, the charming, rustic barns where our guests enjoyed the celebration, and of course the incredible gardens and landscaping. All of the perfectly curated spaces make for incredible pictures, which was something that was very important to us when choosing a venue. We were able to have our first look by the secluded creek on property, and we took photos posing in and around the beautiful barns and gardens.
The owner, Terri, was so easy to work with and was very accomodating. You can tell how much she truly takes pride in making every couple’s day the best it can be. The attention to detail that she has put into the venue is amazing, and that really makes it a one of a kind place to have a wedding. All of our guests were amazed at how absolutely stunning the venue was (with minimal decor provided by us). We looked at many venues prior to finding Burlap and Beams, and one thing that really struck us was how impersonal and bare they all seemed to be, and how much work we would need to put into decorating them. When we first toured the barns, we could see ourselves getting married there just the way it was. Everything was so beautiful just as it was!
We also love the layout of the venue. It has such a great flow to it! We were able to use the second barn as a whiskey bar and have a bonfire (complete with s’mores) after dinner. Our party of 140 guests never felt cramped or crowded as people were able to spread out to the different areas during the reception. The bridal barn was a perfect space for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in, complete with a big couch and chairs that were great for taking photos on, while my husband and the groomsmen enjoyed hanging out in the second barn prior to the ceremony.

Burlap and Beams was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the beautiful rustic barns, to the mountainous backdrop, to the wonderful landscaping, everything was gorgeous!
Everything leading up to our wedding went very smoothly. We booked last minute, one of the last dates available for 2018. Terri was very accommodating, especially since we had such a short amount of time to book all of our vendors. She was very responsive whenever I had questions, both via email and text message. Don't let the initial 'rules and regulations' that she has in place scare you away. Everything that is asked of those attending or working the event are all in place to keep this wonderful venue the way it is....wonderful!
The barns and outdoor spaces all have beautiful decor, which allowed us not only to save money but time as well. There was no need to worry about decorations as everything she has already in place is amazing. There are so many special places to take pictures. The newly renovated bar area was top notch. The lighting and flower arrangement above the bar, the bar top and the canoe hanging on the wall were all nice touches. She does a wonderful job keeping the place beautiful.
We were one of the unlucky...or lucky....couples to have it rain during our outdoor ceremony. As a result of this we instantly needed a new plan to move the ceremony into the large barn. This was done without a hitch....other than being wet! Terri came to check on me to be sure I wasn't having a meltdown. This just goes to show you what a wonderful person she truly is. She puts so much heart and soul into this venue. It was a real pleasure to be able to work with her and get married at such a memorable place!

My husband and I got married this past June at Burlap and Beams. We loved having our wedding here and all of our guests were raving about how beautiful the venue was. We had our ceremony outdoors with an amazing view of the mountains in the background. The barns were decorated nicely and had the Adirondack vibe that we were looking for. Terri, the owner of the venue, was very helpful through the wedding planning process. We would highly recommend Burlap and Beams to any couple who is looking for a rustic, yet elegant wedding venue.

My husband and I got married at Burlap and Beams in June 2018! I do not know where to even begin with how magical and perfect our wedding day was! Burlap and Beams is such a fairy tale wedding venue and if you want a unique not "cookie cutter" wedding, then have it here! Our guest are still talking about how beautiful the grounds were with breathtaking views! We cannot stop looking at our photos and just remembering how amazing our day was! When looking for where we wanted our wedding we stumbled on Burlap and Beams and instantly fell in love. From the view during the ceremony, to the dinner tent, to fire pit, barn, and so much more it was perfect! There was so many fun moments we had at our wedding and it is a big thanks to Burlap and Beams! The variety at this venue made it so every guest could have their perfect day! Our guests were able to dance in the barn, eat in the dinner tent, play corn hole, jenga, and bocce, make a smore at the fire pit, or sit in the groomsmen's suite to talk. It was literally a fairy tale wedding! Terri is the owner of the grounds and she is absolutely amazing! We booked our wedding day about a year before the big day and she was always helpful with any questions/concerns we had! She really helped make everything perfect and her suggested vendors list was perfect for us since we live in Philadelphia! She helped eased our mind with so much during the planning the process!! Burlap and Beams is such a breathtaking and beautiful place to get married and we would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to have the most unique and beautiful wedding! Our wedding guest cannot stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how our wedding was not like anyone else’s! We cannot thank Terri enough for having this property and making our wedding day magical!

Thank you so much for everything!
Mr. and Mrs. Chant
