It’s a turning point, a night where teens take center stage while families can finally relax. From terrace photos by the waterfall to a packed ballroom dance floor, every detail is designed to let you celebrate without stress, knowing the night will flow naturally.
Novellas in Newburgh offers all-inclusive Sweet 16 celebrations featuring terrace photo spots by the waterfall, a ballroom with professional lighting and sound for dancing, and menus by Chef Michael Garnero. Families enjoy on-site coordination, nearby hotels, and complete event packages that make planning easy and celebrations memorable across the Hudson Valley.
Our team handles the details so you can enjoy the day. With everything under one roof, dining, dancing, and design, you’ll see why hosting here feels as smooth as it looks.
The Terrace: Photos That Feel Personal
Our terrace is where moments turn into keepsakes. With teak furniture, soft lighting, and a waterfall feature, it’s one of the first places guests gather. It’s also a favorite for photo sessions before the party starts. Parents love the calm backdrop, and teens love how it captures their style without leaving the property.
The terrace connects right into the ballroom foyer, which means no need for shuttles or complicated timing. Families often use it for a welcome cocktail hour before moving into the main event.
The Ballroom: Where the Dancing Happens
The ballroom at Novellas was built for energy. It includes a full dance floor, built-in stage, chandeliers, and professional lighting and sound systems. For a Sweet 16, that means teens can dance under nightclub-level lights while family and friends watch from the comfort of surrounding tables.
The bar area inside the ballroom gives adults a place to gather without stepping away from the celebration. Between sets, guests can move to the patios for air and conversation.
Food That Guests Talk About
Our kitchen is led by Chef Michael Garnero, a Culinary Institute of America educator with over 25 years of experience. His menus are designed in-house and tailored to each event. Whether you’re hosting a formal dinner or a party with food stations, every plate is prepared fresh on site.
Families appreciate that everything is handled here, no outside catering, no coordination stress. From appetizers to late-night bites, the food is part of the experience.
What’s Included When You Book
Every Sweet 16 package includes the essentials: tables, linens, silver, china, glassware, lighting, and sound. A day-of coordinator keeps the flow smooth from arrival to the last dance. The private suite is open for touch-ups, storage, or a quiet moment away from the party.
After the event, guests are welcome to linger on the patios. The hotels next door, Hampton Inn and America’s Best Value Inn, make it easy for everyone to walk back safely.

Families from Newburgh, Kingston, and Poughkeepsie often tell us they book at Novellas for one simple reason: it’s easy. We’re family-owned and fully inclusive, with everything handled on site. That means no surprises, just a celebration that feels personal and well cared for.
