Why We Love Full Moon Resort
Full Moon Resort is one of a small number of venues where the entire wedding weekend can truly happen in one place. The 100 acres of Catskills meadows, forests, and streams create a setting that feels genuinely removed from everyday life, and with on-site lodging for the whole guest list, the celebration carries naturally from welcome dinner through ceremony, reception, and the next morning. The creekside ceremony space, with the mountain landscape as a backdrop, is one of the most naturally beautiful ceremony settings EMG performs in.
What Entertainment Works Best at Full Moon Resort
The wedding pavilion at Full Moon Resort works well for a band, DJ, or hybrid. Uplighting is a strong addition here, adding warmth and visual dimension to the pavilion space. The Catskills setting and the multi-day nature of the Full Moon weekend lend themselves to a more layered entertainment experience than a single-night venue, with welcome dinners, barn gatherings, and after-party moments in the Roadhouse all possible within the same campus.
Ceremony Music at Full Moon Resort
A string trio or string quartet is a beautiful match for the creekside ceremony space at Full Moon Resort, with the Catskill mountains as a backdrop. Acoustic guitar is also a natural fit for an outdoor mountain setting with this kind of rustic, pastoral character.
Cocktail Hour Music at Full Moon Resort
A jazz trio is a strong choice for cocktail hour in Full Moon’s barn or outdoor spaces. An acoustic duo works well for couples who want something relaxed and in keeping with the resort’s Woodstock-inspired, nature-first character while guests enjoy the mountain grounds.
Reception Entertainment Options
DJ: Works well in the wedding pavilion, with an event host who can read the room and uplighting adding warmth to the space.
Hybrid: A strong option, with live energy from a saxophone or percussionist alongside the DJ in the pavilion.
Band: Works well for couples who want a fully live reception in a Catskills setting where the mountain atmosphere and weekend-long celebration call for a bigger sound.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a band or DJ better at Full Moon Resort?
Both work well in the wedding pavilion. The Catskills setting and the weekend-long nature of a Full Moon wedding lend themselves well to a fully live band for the main reception, though a DJ or hybrid is equally at home in the space.
Why is uplighting recommended at Full Moon Resort?
The wedding pavilion benefits from uplighting to add warmth and visual dimension that the space doesn’t have on its own without additional lighting.
Where does the ceremony take place at Full Moon Resort?
Ceremonies take place at the creekside ceremony space on the property, with a covered option available for inclement weather and a wooded grove available as an alternative outdoor setting.
Does Full Moon Resort offer on-site lodging for wedding guests?
Yes. One of Full Moon Resort’s defining features is its ability to host the entire guest list on campus across a variety of cottages, lodge rooms, and inn-style accommodations, turning the wedding into a full destination weekend.
What is the most popular entertainment package for Full Moon Resort weddings?
Many couples pair acoustic guitar or a string trio for the creekside ceremony, a jazz trio or acoustic duo for cocktail hour, and a band, hybrid, or DJ for the wedding pavilion, with uplighting in the reception space.

Highly recommend!"
