Beekman Arms & Delamater Inn in Rhinebeck, New York, hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, private dinners and small meetings for groups from 25 up to about 120 guests, and offers 80 bedrooms across its two historic properties. The inn stands on Mill Street in the center of the Hudson Valley village and has operated continuously since 1766.
Seminars and company events
The meeting offer is built around a conference room at the Delamater Inn. It has a fireplace and French doors that open onto a wide porch. In conference layout it suits 25 to 30 people, and the inn states that more guests can be seated when the room is set theatre style. Audiovisual equipment is available, and the inn's own staff handles service. For a leadership dinner or a working lunch, the Beekman Room seats up to 25 guests in the main building, just off the library. A company that wants the whole venue can book a full buyout of the Tavern spaces.
Weddings and receptions
The inn describes itself as an alternative to standard wedding halls, with a building more than 250 years old. It accepts ceremonies and receptions as well as showers, rehearsal dinners and a post-wedding brunch. The Wayfarer Room is the main space for larger events. It takes up to 80 guests and has a private setting with a dance floor. A glass-enclosed Greenhouse opens off the Wayfarer Room through French doors and adds seating for up to 40 more guests, or space for a cocktail hour. The inn offers wedding packages for different group sizes and a wedding coordinator who works with couples.
Rooms and capacities
The Wayfarer Room holds up to 80, the Greenhouse up to 40 additional guests, and the Beekman Room up to 25. The Delamater Inn conference room seats 25 to 30 in conference style. A full buyout combines the Wayfarer Room, the Greenhouse, the Beekman Room and the Pewter Room, including the historic Tavern bar. Extra fees may apply depending on guest counts.
Accommodation
The two properties together offer 80 rooms. The Beekman Arms side includes the Beekman Arms building, the Townsend House, the Guest House and the Old Firehouse. The Delamater Inn side includes the Delamater House, the Gables, the Carriage House, the Germond House, the Courtyard, the Stone House and the Montgomery House. Guests can stay on site for a wedding weekend or a two-day meeting.
Catering
Catering comes from the inn's own culinary team at the Tavern at The Beekman Arms. The kitchen cooks with seasonal produce from Hudson Valley farms. The Tavern serves lunch and dinner seven days a week, and brunch on Sundays, so the same kitchen can serve both group and guest meals.
History and setting
The Beekman Arms has welcomed guests since before the Revolutionary War, and the inn presents itself as America's oldest operating inn. The Colonial Tap Room, with overhead beams and an open hearth fireplace, is part of the Tavern. Rhinebeck sits in the Hudson Valley, near historic estates, galleries, wineries and golf courses.
