Weddings that Take Your Breath Away

There’s a reason why Skytop is one of the most sought-after wedding venues in the Poconos. Picture this: exchanging vows in the awe-inspiring open air essence of The Formal Gardens, or walking down the aisle on the elegant South Porch, framed by stunning mountain vistas and 1920s elegance.

Then comes the celebration. The Evergreen Ballroom, adorned with sparkling chandeliers and classic French doors, can fully accommodate up to 300 guests and transforms into a truly magical reception space. For more intimate affairs, Skytop also offers a variety of cozy indoor and scenic outdoor options.

And with curated wedding packages—including a customized wedding cake, four-hour open bar, champagne toast, and complimentary suite for the couple—planning your big day becomes refreshingly stress-free.

 

Corporate Retreats with a Breath of Fresh Air

Tired of gray boardrooms and windowless conference centers? At Skytop, corporate retreats are anything but ordinary. The Executive Conference Center is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, versatile spaces, and comfortable seating for groups of all sizes.

Key meeting and conference rooms include:

    • Evergreen Ballroom (4,128 sq. ft.)
    • Hemlock Ballroom (2,600 sq. ft.)
  • Tamarack Board Room (700 sq. ft.)

These flexible spaces are perfect for strategy sessions, seminars, product launches, and everything in between. Plus, the property’s layout naturally fosters team-building opportunities, with built-in breakout areas and serene spots for brainstorming and relaxation.

But it’s not just about meetings—it’s about momentum. With add-ons like guided hikes, golf outings, axe throwing, rock climbing, and even a treetop adventure course, your team can reconnect, refocus, and recharge like never before.

 

The Perfect Venue for Private Celebrations

Not every celebration requires a ballroom. Sometimes, the best memories are made in intimate spaces with your closest friends and family. Skytop makes those moments shine, too.

From birthday parties and family reunions to anniversary dinners and holiday gatherings, Skytop’s unique indoor and outdoor event venues—such as the Windsor Dining Room, the patio at Lakeview, other beautiful lawn areas and more—offer customizable layouts, curated menus, and an ambiance that turns every event into a milestone.

And yes, you can even bring the party lakeside.

With event planning services available from start to finish, Skytop’s team ensures that no detail goes overlooked—from décor and music to dietary accommodations and audiovisual needs.

 

Indoor and Outdoor Spaces for Every Season

Whether your group is large or small, Skytop has a venue to match your vision and the season. In the warmer months, make use of stunning outdoor spaces like the South Lawn, Formal Garden, and Lakeside areas, perfect for al fresco dining or lawn games.

During the cooler months, guests can gather fireside in cozy indoor rooms with mountain views or enjoy seasonal activities like snow tubing, cross-country skiing, and ice skating, all on-site.

Year-round, Skytop offers a balance of form and function, luxury and comfort, tradition and innovation.
