Novellas in New Paltz offers a quinceanera venue close to Poughkeepsie with a terrace overlooking a waterfall and a spacious ballroom for up to 250 guests. The venue includes catering by an experienced chef, all-inclusive packages with decor and coordination, nearby hotels for guests, and both indoor and outdoor photo areas.
The Spaces That Bring the Night to Life
Our ballroom accommodates up to 250 guests, giving everyone plenty of room to dine, dance, and celebrate. The stage and ballroom bar make it easy to include live music or a DJ without worrying about logistics. Right outside, the terrace and Blue Stone patio offer a beautiful contrast, a quieter spot for photos or a break from the dance floor, complete with teak furniture, a sound system, and a waterfall backdrop. Many families use the terrace for grand entrances or a family toast before dinner.
Food That Feels Like Family
Our kitchen is led by Chef Michael Garnero, a Culinary Institute of America-trained educator who brings 25 years of experience to every event. Whether you choose a plated dinner, buffet, or cocktail-style reception, our culinary team curates menus with fresh ingredients and authentic flavor. Everything is prepared on site, so dishes arrive at the table hot and beautifully presented.
All-Inclusive Packages That Simplify Planning
Every event at Novellas includes tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware, light and sound systems, and a day-of coordinator. Families don’t need to worry about piecing together rentals or vendors. Our all-inclusive approach means you can focus on your daughter’s celebration, not the checklist. We also provide a private suite for touch-ups, outfit changes, or simply taking a moment to breathe before rejoining the party.
Convenient for Out-of-Town Guests
Novellas shares its property with two major hotels, the Hampton Inn and America’s Best Value Inn, so guests can walk to and from the event. That convenience keeps the night relaxed, and it’s one of the reasons families traveling from nearby cities find our location ideal.
A Celebration That Flows Naturally
At our quinceanera venue, most celebrations follow a smooth flow, arrival and welcome drinks on the terrace, dinner and dancing in the ballroom, and winding down on the patios after the main event. You’ll have full use of the sound and lighting systems throughout, making it easy to move from dinner to dance without missing a beat.
