“We had our New Year’s Eve wedding in the Liberty House ballroom, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From start to finish, the experience was great. Our event stylist, Sarah, was amazing and played such a huge role in bringing our vision to life. I had a lot of ideas (some a bit outside the box!), and Liberty House worked with us to thoughtfully incorporate them into our wedding and our budget, including espresso martini shots on the dance floor, which was such a fun and memorable moment for our guests. The food was outstanding, especially cocktail hour. Guests are still talking about it. The pasta station was a crowd favorite, and we added the sushi station, which was an absolute hit as well. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The views alone are unbeatable. We had the most stunning Manhattan skyline backdrop at a much better price than venues actually in Manhattan or nearby. Another huge plus was being able to decorate the ceiling of the ballroom, which completely elevated the space. We used Liberty House’s preferred florist, JR Floral Designs, and absolutely loved working with them. Communication throughout the planning process was great. One thing to note is that Liberty House is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so depending on when you email, there may be a short wait for a response but once they’re back, they are responsive and helpful. The week of the wedding, we were able to drop off all of our décor and personal details, which made the wedding day itself so smooth and stress-free. While there isn’t a traditional getting-ready suite, there is a small room to store belongings, enjoy a private cocktail hour, and a private restroom. I personally got ready at a suite at the Hyatt House and took an Uber over, which worked out perfectly. Overall, Liberty House exceeded our expectations in every way. Between the views, the food, the flexibility, and the incredible team, we couldn’t imagine a better place to have celebrated our wedding — especially on NYE. Highly recommend!”

“Gabe and the entire crew at HH knocked it out of the park. The entire day went flawlessly, they worked seamlessly with our vendors, set up the rooms better than I could have ever imagined. Not to mention the space itself/location is GORGEOUS….but funny enough, we booked the space for the insane views of NYC, but happened to get the foggiest day of December - it. Did. Not. Matter. !!! Hudson House KILLED IT and made our day beautiful, stunning, and perfect start to finish. Our guests are raving about the time they had.”

“We had our wedding at the Ryland Inn in August and it was absolutely perfect! The Ryland was the first place we toured when we were looking at wedding venues, and nowhere else came close to comparing. We had Giana as our event stylist and she was amazing – answering all of our questions, knowing every detail, and making the entire process seamless. Giana walked us through the entire wedding planning process and was essential to making the day so perfect. The morning of we got ready in the Hayloft, and it was nice being close to see everything being set up. We were in the Grand Ballroom, the inside of which is beautiful with the chandeliers and fireplace, and so is the outdoor area. The food was outstanding and received so many compliments from our guests. I’m so happy we chose the Ryland Inn!”

“We got married at The Hamilton Manor on October 4, 2026, and our entire experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. A huge thank you to our wedding director, Cheyenne, our bridal attendant, Lexi, our day of coordinator, Caitlyn, and our Maitre D', Nymere. Every single one of them was attentive, professional, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure our day was perfect. They made us, our families, and our bridal party feel so cared for throughout the entire celebration. Unfortunately, it rained on our wedding day, and we had to move our ceremony indoors to the barn. What could have been a stressful situation turned out to be absolutely beautiful thanks to the Hamilton Manor team. They transformed the space so seamlessly that it felt like it was always meant to be that way. The food was outstanding from beginning to end. Our guests raved about cocktail hour, and dinner was phenomenal. The salmon and short rib were both delicious, and the desserts were the perfect ending to an amazing meal. The entire staff made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our wedding day.

“From the very beginning, Park Château made the entire wedding process feel like an absolute dream. The moment I stepped onto the grounds for the first time, I knew it was the perfect venue—I could already picture our wedding day there. As a Type A bride, I deeply appreciated how responsive and helpful Devin was throughout planning. Every question I had was answered quickly, and every concern met with care. The team was incredibly accommodating, honoring the vision we had for a meaningful, multicultural celebration. They worked with us to alter the stations so I could incorporate my Filipino heritage and allowed us to bring in soju to represent my husband’s Korean culture. Every request, no matter how detailed, was thoughtfully considered—it genuinely felt like their mission was to bring our dreams to life. On the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Danielle kept us relaxed by constantly checking on us, keeping the suite clean, steaming dresses last-minute, and making sure we were well-fed and comfortable. Once we were ready, Jeremiah and Justin took care of my husband and me with such attention, joy, and professionalism that we never once had to think or worry about a thing. They truly went above and beyond!! They made sure our hair was never out of place, carried my lipstick for touch-ups, managed my train, cape-veil with ease, shaded me from the sun, and brought cold water (with a straw for makeup!) every 30 minutes. When my dress got dirty during photos (which I was mentally prepared for!), they were on the ground scrubbing it clean and blow-drying it dry—both of them. Later on the dance floor, they cooled me down with a cold cloth and made sure I stayed hydrated, all while keeping the energy light and fun. I could go on and on because these were just a few things they took care of for us that day! They made us laugh, checked in on us emotionally, and truly felt like part of our celebration. Their presence made the day even more magical. Our guests were blown away—not just by the sheer amount of food, but by the quality and taste of everything, from cocktail hour to dinner to the drinks. Everyone thought the grounds and venue were so beautiful and it all ran so smoothly! We've had so many guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended, and we couldn’t agree more. Park Château truly knows what they’re doing. I wish I could relive the day all over again—it was absolutely perfect. Thank you to the entire Park Château team for giving us a wedding day beyond our wildest dreams.”

“My wedding was on 9/18/2026, and I am so BLOWN AWAY with how incredible everything was at Waterloo Village. Sindy was our coordinator, and she truly went above and beyond to meet all expectations during the planning stages and on the day of. Wedding venue and coordination: The grounds at Waterloo Village are absolutely beautiful. Granted, the weather was on our side, but one of the biggest deciding factors for us to go with Waterloo was their solid "rain plan" regarding the ceremony. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception areas were in different spaces but in very close proximity to each other, which really gave it an elevated feel. I had a few guests with mobility issues, but they were well taken care of by the venue staff because of the on-site golf cart transportation. Sindy and her assistant, Jordan, were incredible on the day of. So attentive to myself, the groom, the entire bridal party, and our parents and key family members. Sindy was punctual, easy to communicate with, and helped bring my whimsical wedding vision to life. Food and Drinks: Every one of my guests complimented the food and said it was some of the best they have ever had for a wedding. It was abundant and constantly flowing. The cocktails were incredible, and each cocktail matched its specific glassware, which was important to me. The desserts were also incredible, and we went with a funfetti cake, warm chocolate chip cookies (best I've ever had), and the mini gelato cones. There were so many things to choose from, and everything was fresh and amazing. My husband and I hope to be guests at a JAM Hospitality Group wedding to experience the entire event from a different perspective. Everything was great. 1000/10 would recommend Waterloo Village to any couple who wants a whimsical, magical, forest vibe wedding with amazing staff, food, and drinks. One of the absolute happiest days of our lives!”

“Our wedding day was absolutely wonderful, a huge part of that is thanks to all the staff at Johnson's Locust Hall Farm. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding.

“Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives. From the moment we arrived, the energy, care, and attention provided by the entire staff were unforgettable. Our families and guests felt the same way. Throughout the night, people told us how breathtakingly stunning the venue is and how flawlessly everything came together. Perona Farms is truly a magical place. Working with Marley throughout the planning process was an absolute joy. She made everything easy, organized, and genuinely fun, and her support meant so much to us. Ana and Heather were the absolute dream team on the wedding day. Ana supported us every step of the way and always appeared the moment we needed her. She made us feel cared for, calm, and so incredibly special. During photos, when I began feeling shaky from not having eaten all day, she even put together a charcuterie board with fruit, cheese, and meats just for me. Heather was equally phenomenal and managed every detail throughout the reception. Thanks to her coordination, we did not have to think or worry about a single thing. She checked in on everyone, not just us and our bridal party, and she even boxed up all of the leftover food so we could enjoy it later. The food was absolutely incredible, and our guests could not stop talking about it. Every server, bartender, and suite attendant was kind, organized, joyful, and clearly passionate about their work. The entire team created an experience that felt seamless, warm, and genuinely celebratory. From start to finish, the planning process and the wedding day itself were effortless, enjoyable, and filled with support. We will cherish this experience forever and are endlessly grateful for the extraordinary service, beautiful atmosphere, and unforgettable memories created here.”

“I don't even know where to begin - from the second I walked into the Rockleigh doors on my tour I just knew this was where I needed to get married! Not only are the grounds and the venue spectacular, but everyone we met was so kind, personable and wonderful to be around. Bari was assigned to me as my venue coordinator, and she was such a joy to work with from start to finish. She answered all my questions throughout the process, in our meetings, and went above and beyond leading up too as well as day of event. Now comes wedding day - from start to finish the Rockleigh staff is UNMATCHED! There are truly not enough words and thank yous to describe what they did for my family, bridal party, myself & my husband to make our wedding day absolutely day perfect. My bridal attendants Brayan & Martina were SO amazing, as well as our maitre'd Colon! We absolutely loved them. They went above and beyond and jumped into action more times than one. For example, my mother in laws dress ripped down the side seam and they were able to completely fix, no questions asked – truly unbelievable!!! Managers Jamie and Daniela, who we didn’t work with as much day of, kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Every little detail you can think of and anything you may need for day of – they have already thought of! My guests are still raving about the endless delicious food & drinks, professionalism of the staff/service, and stunning venue. Overall, I couldn't have dreamt up a better wedding day experience & would recommend Rockleigh to ANY couple! I can only hope to be invited there as a guest someday so I can experience from that perspective as well. Until then I will relive our day in my head – and through photos – over and over again!”
