Weddings and Private Events
You can host an enchanting wedding, beautiful baby shower, bridal shower, impressive business party, or elegant birthday party at a secret lakeside garden in Cooperstown, New York. Brookwood Point's historic lakefront gardens, stone walls, and fantastic rolling hillside views make it a wonderful place to gather and celebrate.
Brookwood is an incredibly affordable wedding venue, and by renting the space from a nonprofit, your event benefits a good cause.
The space includes an informational kiosk at the entrance, an upper garden area, a lower garden area where tents may be placed, a lower terrace right on the lake shore edge with iron café tables and chairs, and a charming garden house with a balcony. There is a separate rental fee for interior use of the garden house, the use of which users will be considered on a case-by-case basis. It offers a utility area for your vendors to work from, ample guest parking, several electric hookups, hose bibs, and one restroom with ramped access.
Learn more about renting the space on our Brookwood Point Venue page.
