| Have Your
Wedding at Covewood |
Eagle
Bay, New York (May 21, 2005)
Covewood
is truly a unique setting for your special day.
We're easily reached, yet remote enough to ensure
your privacy. Our natural beauty complements the
unhurried schedule we encourage. A typical banquet
facility might allow you a single room for a very
few hours, with another party scheduled
immediately after yours. Your Covewood wedding
spans an entire weekend, allowing you and your
guests plenty of time to relax and enjoy our
beautiful wilderness setting. Many of your guests
may not have seen each other since the last family
wedding; they'll appreciate the opportunity to
spend some time together.
See
our classifieds listing to the right for
florists, caterers, bakers, photographers
and other local resources to assist in
preparation for your special day.
