A 1680s Philipse family manor in Yonkers, now a New York State museum open Wednesday to Sunday, with no published wedding or rental program.
Philipse Manor Hall is a New York State historic site and museum at 29 Warburton Avenue in Yonkers, open Wednesday through Sunday, 10am to 5pm. It is not a bookable wedding venue. Neither its own pages nor the New York State Parks listing offers facility rentals, private events or weddings, and no rental fee, capacity or catering information exists. The only event language we found is that the Gothic Chamber serves as a community gallery and event space, which describes the site’s own public programming. The Fees and Rates section covers visitor admission. If you want to ask anyway, the number is (914) 965-4027.
There is no pricing to interpret, because there is no rental program. The only event language anywhere on the site refers to the Gothic Chamber as a community gallery and event space, which is the museum describing its own programming rather than an offer to the public. If you have your heart set on the building, call and ask whether private use is possible and what state rules would apply. Do not assume a yes, and do not hold a date on the strength of a directory listing.

This is a museum, not a venue with a booking process. Do not plan a wedding around it without written confirmation from the site.
The manor was established in the 1680s and used by four generations of the Philipse family. It stands near the confluence of the Nepperhan, also called the Saw Mill, and the Hudson, on land that was for thousands of years a Munsee Lunaape fishing village called Nappeckamack.
The building later served as Yonkers City Hall. It was preserved through the generosity of Eva Smith Cochran and donated to New York State as a historic site. It now runs as a public museum with programs and exhibitions, closed Mondays and Tuesdays, with occasional holiday closures and extra hours for special programming.
We read the site’s Plan Your Visit page, its Programs and Events page, the New York State Parks page for the historic site, and the encyclopedia entry. The site’s own navigation covers Hours, Parking and Directions, Fees and Rates, Field Trip Info, Accessibility and Programs and Events. There is no weddings page and no private events page.
State historic sites do sometimes permit private use under rules published elsewhere, so the honest answer is that you would have to ask. What we will not do is present this as a venue with a booking process, because no published booking process exists. If you want a historic Westchester building that does take weddings, start from our historic venues hub instead.
