Take in the breathtaking panoramic views as the sunset bathes the sweeping mountainside in its golden glow. At Sundance Ranch, timeless charm and modern comfort converge for a picture-perfect wedding day.

180 acres in Lake Luzerne, NY always enchanted Maria Leuci and her sister, Sara, when they were children. Two years ago, with the help of family and friends, they began building their dream wedding venue on these expansive grounds, and in August 2025, opened Sundance Ranch - a place where romance runs wild.

“We just loved the idea of sharing this space -where we were able to make so many childhood memories- with others, so they could also make memories here as they started their own lives together,” said Maria.

Lovingly Renovated, Meticulously Maintained

Combining rustic charm with welcome convenience, Sundance Ranch’s lovingly renovated and climate-controlled white steel barn is a stylish setting for dinner and dancing the night away (on its refinished concrete floors). Here, the warmth of natural wood is accentuated by shimmering light from four large dimmable chandeliers and eight smaller ones. With electricity powering every corner, this open space remains remarkably flexible, allowing you to reconfigure its 23 farmhouse tables and 210 chairs any way you desire.

A new serving kitchen was added, providing caterers easy access to the barn through large double doors. A new gas firepit, large covered patio, accessible restrooms, and flat lawn area make it a welcoming space for food trucks, games, and an outdoor cocktail hour. Ceremonies here are completely customizable, as there are two movable arbors and enough wooden benches to seat 210 outdoors at Sundance Ranch.

With Room to Relax

The grounds too, are a photographer’s fantasy, with acres of trails, a small pond, and beautifully landscaped areas at the front of a welcoming white-columned farmhouse.  At opposite ends of the 6,500 sq. ft. home, his and hers bridal suites (each with access to their own private outdoor deck spaces) allow both wedding parties to get ready in style. While the upper level is flooded with natural light and all the amenities, downstairs, a covered porch, television, foosball table, huge kitchen, and intimate alcoves provide plenty of areas to hangout and relax, both indoors and out, on the big day.

“Our goal is to make it as relaxing as possible,” said Maria. In addition to day-of coordination, Sundance Ranch offers a slew of their own décor for couples to use, including mismatched vintage China and champagne wall rentals. They also set up, tear-down and box-up everything so it’s ready and waiting for you upon your departure.
