This page is the whole deal, so you can decide before you spend twenty minutes on a form.
Why bother
Westchester County runs about 3,974 weddings a year against $202,006,368 of total spend — the second-largest wedding market in the New York suburbs, behind Nassau at $307.6 million and Bergen County, New Jersey at $259.7 million (Westchester, Nassau, Bergen).
The number worth your sales manager's attention is not that one. It is this: half the couples in your inbox are planning against a budget below the county median, and almost none of them will say so on a tour. Directories that forward you only the top half charge you per lead for the mismatch and call it demand. A published starting cost disqualifies the wrong couple in eight seconds on a phone screen instead of ninety minutes in your ballroom on a Saturday you cannot get back. The county distribution is on the cost page — read the per-head columns before you decide which half of it you are in.
One more, since it changes who you should be marketing to: the modeled average guest count in this county is 166 to 176, against a national average of 117 (The Knot Worldwide, 2026). If your room seats 150 with a band and a dance floor in it, you are not competing for the average local wedding, and saying so plainly puts you in front of the couples you can actually serve.
What a free listing includes
- Venue name, full street address, town, and the sales tax jurisdiction that applies to your invoices.
- A direct link to your website and your own inquiry channel. We do not intercept leads, gate your phone number, or route contact through a form we own.
- Seated capacity with a dance floor in the room, plus standing and ceremony capacity where you have them.
- Indoor, outdoor and rain-plan spaces, listed as separate rooms, because that is how a wet Saturday works.
- Season and day-of-week availability, if you publish it.
- Cost information at whatever level of detail you will put in writing.
- Fee structure: administrative or service fee percentage, whether gratuity is separate, and whether the fee is itself taxed.
- Access status: open to public bookings, member-sponsored only, or restricted.
- A last-verified date and a public change log.
- A short written assessment from us. That part is not negotiable.
What we need from you
Numbers you can stand behind on paper. We publish a price only when we can read it off something written — a published sheet, a current proposal, a signed contract. Round numbers offered over the phone do not get published.
Your fee arithmetic, spelled out. Surprise does more damage in this market than price does. A couple who finds a 22 percent administrative fee at contract signing, having assumed it was gratuity, is a couple you have lost, and the review will explain why. Venues that publish the full arithmetic here get flagged on their listing as transparent on fees, which is rare enough in this county to work as a differentiator. If you are not sure whether your own fee is compliant with the state's notice requirements, the regulation is quoted in full on the cost page. Read 12 NYCRR 146-2.19 before a couple's lawyer does.
Real capacity, not fire-code capacity. Give us the number that works with a band, a bar and a dance floor in the room. We will publish both figures if you give us both. If we tour and the number is optimistic, we note it.
Your access rules, accurately. If you are a private club requiring member sponsorship, say so. The label will not hurt you — couples with a member connection are searching for exactly that, and couples without one stop wasting your Saturdays. What hurts you is an unverified tag sitting on your listing because nobody answered the phone.
A floor plan. A diagram tells a couple more in ten seconds than a gallery does in ten minutes, and it prevents the tour conversation where somebody works out that half the tables face a wall.
What we will not do
Sell you placement. Ranking and ordering are not for sale, and no payment changes a written assessment. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed on this page with the date it changed.
Remove an accurate negative. If your ballroom is a long rectangle with windows down one side, that is a fact about the room and it stays. If we get a fact wrong we fix it fast and log it — see the corrections policy. Send the floor plan, the contract or the dated page and we will publish the correction ourselves.
Publish photos you do not own, or treat a marketing image as evidence of a room's current condition.
Describe you as bookable without a source. This applies equally to clubs, museum properties and county parkland. Several of the county's best-known landmarks are owned by preservation bodies with their own event rules — Kykuit, for instance, is owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (savingplaces.org). Sites that list those properties as wedding venues without citing an event policy are guessing with somebody's calendar.
Sell your inquiry data. There is nothing to sell. We do not collect it. Inquiries go to you.
Claiming or correcting an existing listing
Plenty of venues are already listed. If yours is, claim it and update it without paying anything — use the claim link on the listing. We verify claims through an email address at the venue's own domain, or a call to the number published on the venue's own site, rather than through whoever filled in the form.
If a competitor's listing contains a factual error, send it. We check it the same way we would check yours, and we do not tell them who filed it.
How long it takes
Three steps: intake from your submission, a documentation check against your own published material, and a written assessment. Listings with clear published pricing and a floor plan move fastest, because there is less to chase. The slowest are the ones where we have to establish access status, since that means finding a person willing to confirm a policy on the record.
