Historic Enchantment at the Senate Garage
Located in the heart of uptown Kingston on North Front Street, and surrounded by a historic state park that once served as the meeting place for the original New York State Senate, the Senate Garage seamlessly blends historic enchantment with industrial chic sensibilities.
The 7,500-square-foot space was originally developed in the 1920s as a parking garage for chauffeur-driven automobiles in Kingston’s bustling Uptown. Today, this fully-renovated building boasts a dramatic open space with polished concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling exposed brick walls, Edison bulb chandeliers, and a grandiose yet delicate gallery wall of antiqued gold-framed mirrors behind its bar. It’s no wonder that Paula, owner and designer extraordinaire behind Your Event, chose Senate Garage as the venue.
We brought a custom game rental package that included Giant Connect Four, Croquet, Gruyere (the very tall standing maze game), Garden Chess, two of our signature board games Four Ball Billiards and Arches, and our copper pipe arbor with its accompanying neon “Game on!” light to set the scene.
The games were spread out on the back lawn for cocktail hour fun, as well as indoors with a towering white washed brick wall as their backdrop. We couldn’t have envisioned a more elegant setting.
Please enjoy the beautiful captures by photographer Cappy Hotchkiss, and continue scrolling for a full list of all wedding vendors involved.
“The variety of games is perfect, the aesthetic adds so much to a lawn cocktail hour, and guests are charmed by the surprise of walking into an outdoor setting and being able to explore and engage together beyond the drinking and eating.”
