Host Your Next Event at Island Green

Island Green Resort hosts weddings, corporate retreats, private parties, and family reunions on 100 acres of Catskill foothills property in Greenville, New York. The venue handles groups from 20 to 150 guests, with an 18-hole golf course, a 12-room lodge, on-site catering by Lil' Piece BBQ, and outdoor ceremony spaces backed by mountain views.

The Venue

The property offers multiple event spaces. Outdoor ceremonies beside the pond are the most requested for weddings. The clubhouse patio handles rehearsal dinners and cocktail hours. The main dining area seats larger groups for plated or buffet service.

All of it sits on 100 acres. Your event doesn't share space with a convention center or a hotel lobby. The property is yours for the day or weekend. Guests move between the ceremony site, the reception area, the Lodge, and the course without leaving the grounds.

The Catskill Mountain backdrop is part of the venue. Most event photographers use the mountain view behind the course for group photos. In fall, the hardwood foliage adds color that no florist can match.

Weddings

Ceremonies on the grounds work for groups of 20 to 150. The pond-side location is the most booked spot: a flat, open area next to the water, with the course and mountains behind the altar position. Chairs, an aisle, and your officiant. The backdrop is the Catskill ridgeline.

Receptions move to the clubhouse or outdoor tent areas depending on group size and season. Lil' Piece BBQ handles the catering, from plated dinners to BBQ buffets. Couples choose the level of formality. Some want white tablecloths and a coursed meal. Others want brisket on butcher paper and a keg. Both work here.

The Lodge accommodates the wedding party and close family. Twelve rooms means the couple, wedding party, and parents can stay on site. No hotel shuttles, no car convoys between a hotel and the venue. Guest accommodations beyond the 12 Lodge rooms can be arranged at nearby lodging within 20 minutes.

Couples who book Island Green for their wedding cite three things: the setting, the simplicity of one location for everything, and the price relative to Hudson Valley and Catskill-area wedding venues.

Corporate Retreats

Companies book Island Green for team-building events built around golf. A tournament format (scramble or best ball) keeps the group engaged for 4 to 5 hours. After the round, the team eats together at Lil' Piece BBQ.

Golf, food, and the Catskill foothills setting pull people away from office environments without the overhead of a resort conference center. There's no A/V setup, no keynote stage. This is a golf-and-BBQ retreat for teams that want to spend time together outdoors.

Overnight stays at the Lodge extend the retreat to two days. Day one: arrive, settle in, afternoon round or a relaxed evening at the restaurant. Day two: tournament round, awards, dinner, depart.

Groups that book year after year tend to grow. The first year draws 12 people. Year three brings 30.

Private Parties and Family Reunions

The property handles birthday celebrations, anniversary parties, graduation dinners, and family gatherings. Group size flexibility means you host an intimate dinner for 20 or a large reunion for 150 without switching venues.

Family reunions use the full property. Adults play golf. Kids explore the grounds. The restaurant feeds everyone. The Lodge houses the group. A hundred acres give a 60-person reunion room to spread out.

Catering by Lil' Piece BBQ

All event catering runs through Lil' Piece BBQ. The kitchen handles groups from 20 to 150 with menus customized per event. Slow-smoked meats are the foundation, but the kitchen accommodates dietary restrictions and alternative menu items.

Service styles range from plated dinners to buffet to family-style. Your events coordinator walks you through options based on group size, budget, and formality.

The bar handles craft cocktails, beer, and wine for events. Open bar, hosted bar, and cash bar options are available.

How Do I Book an Event at Island Green?

The events team manages coordination from first inquiry through day-of execution: catering menus, lodge reservations, tee time blocks, vendor coordination, and timeline planning. One point of contact handles what other venues split across three or four departments.

Start by contacting Kevin@theislandgreen.com or calling 518-966-5343. Early bookings secure preferred dates, especially summer and fall weekends. October weekends (peak foliage) fill first.

Site visits are available by appointment. Walk the ceremony locations, see the reception spaces, and meet the kitchen staff before committing.

The Property

Island Green is 100 acres of working property with a golf course, a restaurant, and a lodge built into it. Your guests eat food smoked on site, play a century-old course, and sleep in rooms managed by the same family that runs the whole operation. The Birmann family has hosted events here for decades.

For couples and event planners used to coordinating between a ceremony venue, a reception hall, a caterer, and a hotel block, having everything at one address removes the logistics that make planning stressful. One place. One team.
