When I first opened our private garden estate in the Adirondacks, I knew that the beauty we have here on our property is unique. Every couple that walks our grounds can feel the magic that exists here. I feel it too, even more so when we’re hosting an event.
Each season, I pour my heart into making the gardens as gorgeous as possible. After years of hosting events, I realized that many others found the estate’s beauty unique and captivating. Our gardens became as much of a draw as the mountain views and historic estate spaces, making it one of the most cherished private garden estates in the region.
The vows that couples share with each other on these grounds, and the commitment that their guests witness, represents an incredibly monumental shift in their story. They are beginning life anew together, with a promise to love each other for the rest of their lives. In every new promise, we share hope and gather memories with our couples, their families, and their guests.
Hundreds of couples have promised forever to each other here. So, as my vision became more clear and my love for celebrating with couples stronger, it only seemed natural to name our property to feel symbolic of the celebrations that take place here, surrounded by the incredible Adirondacks.
We hope you love The Promise Gardens of the Adirondacks as much as we do!

After months of searching around for the perfect wedding venue that wasn’t just your average catering hall we came across The Promise Gardens and fell in love immediately. We booked it and it was the best decision we could have made. It was everything we had dreamed of and so much more. Terri was so accommodating throughout our entire wedding planning experience and answered every question that popped up immediately. She never left us guessing about anything and helped to calm any nerves that arose throughout the last couple of weeks. I cannot say enough good things about this venue or Terri! – Steph & Ray

Not only was the venue absolutely stunning and well maintained, but Terri and her team really helped make our vision and day come to life! Our guests could not stop singing praises about how beautiful the venue was and how the flow of the day went! Every inch of the venue has a special detail that makes it such a wonderful place to get married.Posted on Google Brittany TomismanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got married on 7/25/2025 and this venue was just beautiful. My sister showed me it on instagram and I booked it almost immediately! We love lake George and surrounding areas so this just made sense with the gorgeous view. There was no other venue that compared. Terri was so sweet and easy to work with! Truly the most beautiful place ever, I wish I could get married a million more times here🩷Posted on Google Seraphim LeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan and I are beyond fortunate to have found your venue, Terri! It was the first we visited, actually quite by accident, on our way back home from a camping trip in the Adirondacks (near Keene). We were immediately smitten, but tried our best to do our due research... but sure enough, the beauty of the mountains, the flowers, and the property drew us right back. We loved how there were multiple buildings/barns on site and people could flow in and out and around them. It's a venue that encourages wandering and appreciation of all the little beautiful things that surround us. Even more incredible is that Terri was planning on building a beautiful white barn where the reception tent used to be, and I was lucky enough to see the architect renders when I went to visit a second time! But, I had another idea for the barn... and when I emailed her a rendering that I did, Terri actually took the time to consider it and ultimately implemented it in the final design for the barn!! I think that the finished barn is absolutely gorgeous, with views towards the mountains and a cozy fireplace on the opposite end, and I'm even more proud that it was a collaborative effort. Terri is a wonderful hostess: firm yet very accommodating, kind, and very smart! There is no other location I could ever want my greatest memory to be remembered at. Thank you for all of your hard work, Terri and co.! Your venue is an inspiration to me as an aspiring architect. Sending you so much love!Posted on Google Corey HommelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about The Promise Gardens. Terri, the owner, is so kind and cares so much about her couples and she lights up whenever we step onto the property making us feel so welcomed. We also worked with Katie Marie with "A Lively Event" over the weekend and it is amazing how she practically becomes family with her couples. I LOVE working with these two and can't wait to do it again soon.Posted on Google Jenna FischerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A total hidden gem — we’re still dreaming about it! We stumbled upon The Promise Gardens online while searching for Lake George wedding venues, and despite never having heard of it before, the moment I stepped onto the property (in the middle of winter, no less), I just knew — this was the one. And once wedding season rolled around? It was even more magical than we imagined. The venue is absolutely stunning. You get everything that makes the Adirondacks so special all in one place — so close to Lake George, gorgeous mountains as your backdrop, dreamy barns, and hydrangeas everywhere. Our guests were blown away — we heard over and over, “Wait, how did you find this place?!” Beyond the beauty, the way the venue flows is so thoughtful — there’s a perfect, natural progression from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing, each in its own unique space. It makes the entire night feel exciting and seamless. Terri, the owner, clearly pours so much love into the property. She and her team were kind, responsive, and genuinely lovely to work with from start to finish. You can tell she cares deeply — not just about the land, but about the couples who get married there. And from what we saw, it just keeps getting better every year. We highly recommend The Promise Gardens — for the views, the vibe, the amazing team, and the way it makes you feel like you’ve found your own private piece of Adirondack heaven. Honestly, we wish we could get married there every year.Posted on Google Elvin BerndtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attended a wedding there yesterday. Absolutely beautiful venue! Staff was outstanding and the caterer put out one of the best wedding meals I have ever eaten. Can get a bit warm in some of the indoor spaces, but overall a beautiful venue.
