Couples searching for a wedding venue near Port Jervis, NY (or in the Hudson Valley more generally) may not immediately think to extend their search to Pennsylvania… but Sylvan Ridge Farm is right across the PA border, only a stone’s throw away from this quaint city.
Why Look for a Wedding Venue Near Port Jervis, NY?
There are so many perks that draw people to Port Jervis! Locals and visitors alike love this river city’s vintage vibe, close-knit community, and endless outdoor recreation opportunities.
For many, its location at the end of the MTA Metro-North Railroad’s Port Jervis line makes it the perfect destination for getaways from New York City—far enough away to feel like a real escape, yet still easily accessible by public transportation.
The Delaware River itself is a huge attraction, bringing thousands of tourists to the area every summer for rafting, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. The Port Jervis Watershed trail network and the bicycle pump track at Riverside Park (the largest anywhere on the East Coast!) also make this a true haven for mountain biking enthusiasts.
Shifting focus to the city’s historic downtown area, Front Street and the connecting side streets are ridiculously cute and full of fun spots to dine, shop, and sip, all just a short walk from the train station! It’s really no wonder so many visitors have fallen in love with Port Jervis, bringing them and residents alike to look for wedding venues nearby.
Finding the Right Wedding Venue Near Port Jervis, NY
As far as wedding venues are concerned, options are slim in both downtown Port Jervis and the surrounding countryside. Before finding Sylvan Ridge Farm, many locals and repeat visitors assume they’ll have to look outside the immediate area to find a venue that fits their taste and budget (IYKYK).
