Why We Love It
The stunning environment, the history and the dedication to bringing a wide collaboration between art and music to the community at Caramoor is second to none. Between festival days, Friends’ Field events and the bigger headliners of the Venetian; it’s hard to recall a more exciting and alive experience. Come for the music, stay for the food and enjoy the beauty of the space.
Discover
Caramoor is home to metropolitan New York’s largest annual outdoor music festival. There is nothing typical about an event at Caramoor. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Caramoor is a 90-acre historic estate in Katonah, NY with woodland trails, spectacular gardens, and a range of beautiful facilities available to rent for weddings, family celebrations, corporate events and retreats, photoshoots, and other types of events that the sprawling grounds can accommodate.
Caramoor is the legacy of Walter and Lucie Rosen, who established the estate and built a great house as its centerpiece. Their legendary musical evenings were the seeds of today’s Summer Music Festival that are held annually on the estate grounds, and now year-round in the Rosen House Music Room. Located in the greater metropolitan New York area, we are accessible to all area airports, highways, Metronorth, and hotels.

Caramoor Center for Music & Arts Spaces
The Sunken Garden
Capacity 400+
Native flowers and idyllic greenery give the Sunken Garden a timeless beauty. This three-tiered formal garden surrounded by woodlands is our most popular venue for a wedding ceremony. Seal your special moment atop the Medieval Mount while guests sit comfortably in the garden’s lower tiers. Equipped for sound and music, the Sunken Garden is ready to accommodate your perfect event.
Tapestry Hedge
Capacity 400 for cocktails; 300 for theater-style seating
This grassy space is a lovely location for ceremonies or receptions. A collection of 30-foot evergreens line the south side of the lawn, framing the paired statues of Zephyr, the Greek god of the west wind, and Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers. The romantic, rose-covered gazebo serves as a stunning focal point for visitors on the gently sloped lawn, and guests may relax on benches by the Iris & Peony Garden. Sound, power, and additional tenting are available so that you can plan the event you want and enjoy the outdoors.
Formal Dining Room
Capacity 65 for cocktails; 50 for dinner
In the opulent Formal Dining Room, guests will be surrounded by hand-painted silk wall coverings and custom light fixtures. As part of Walter and Lucie Rosen’s estate, the historic Rosen House is as inviting as it is grand, providing an excellent atmosphere for a social or elegant affair.
Music Room
Capacity 200 for theater-style seating; 120 for dinner
The Music Room, filled with treasures from around the world, is the ideal space for private musical performances, presentations, and dancing.
Venetian Theater
Capacity 1,000 for cocktails; 800 for dinner; 1,500 for theater-style seating
The airy and spacious Venetian Theater, surrounded by greenery of the woodlands, is ideal for large events or extravagant celebrations. The Theater is built around Greek and Roman pink marble columns, topped by Venetian arches and protected by a billowy, light-filtering tent. Lighting and audio/visual designs are fully customizable.
The Pavilion
Capacity 300 for cocktails; 250 for dinner; 500 for theater-style seating
Whether seated for dinner or dancing for fun, the Pavilion Tent is an ideal multi-purpose area surrounded by Caramoor’s verdant gardens. Warm up or cool down the crowd with a cocktail hour in the Italian Pavilion, adjacent to the tent. Your guests will enjoy gazing upon the beautiful garden next to the Brunelleschi-inspired Pavilion.
Diane Moss Education Center
Capacity 40 for classroom-style; 80 for theater-style seating
The Education Center is useful for educational or training seminars, recruiting sessions, Board Meetings, leadership and other retreats, memorial services, and small informal parties and gatherings. The Center includes a small kitchen. Audio visual equipment is also available for rent.
Spanish Courtyard
Capacity 250 for cocktails; 400 for theater-style seating
Perfect for intimate, outdoor gatherings, the distinctive Spanish Courtyard in the center of the historic Rosen House, can be described as “Spanish under the influence of the Italian Renaissance” given the architectural styles reminiscent of 15th century architect Filippo Brunelleschi. This partially covered outdoor venue, complete with a fully covered stage, offers a charming event setting with its floral accents, cloisters, and intricate wall paintings.
