“From our very first tour all the way to the end of our wedding day, we truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding experience. We will forever be grateful to the incredible staff at Grassy Hill Country Club for making such an important and meaningful day feel absolutely magical and stress free. Our top priorities in searching for a venue were an enclosed outdoor ceremony space, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour space, lots of light and accessibility for guests both driving and commuting in from NYC. This venue fit all of these and we booked our date after our first visit. We appreciated the friendliness of the tour because they were very open and accommodating about any ideas we had and offered helpful ideas from previous weddings. The tour didn’t feel rushed or sales-focused like we experienced at a few of the nearby venues. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a nice hilly ride up into a mountain view and we loved that the ceremony gazebo was enclosed and didn’t have a view of golfers on the course. The communication with the general manager Tim was smooth from the beginning and he was extremely responsive to our questions at all hours of the day. His check-ins made us feel confident that everything was being checked off our list as we got closer to the wedding date. He made planning the wedding from out of state extremely easy by recommending great local vendors. Along with assisting with all of the small details he also personally ran the rehearsal where his attention to detail was very helpful and left everyone feeling prepared the night before the wedding. As a bride, I could not have been more thankful for the help of Tim and Tia the morning of my wedding. As expected I was full of emotions but their coordination made sure I was never hungry, hot or stressed. Being able to get ready at the venue let me have a calm morning and having multiple rooms allowed my husband and I to take turns taking photos with our family and side of the bridal party ahead of the ceremony without running into each other. Tia never missed a step and kept the bridal party well fed and comfortable. On top of that she assisted me with lining up with my father and gave me great words of comfort before such a big moment. From that point forward everything was taken care of by the amazing staff and we were able to fully be present at our wedding. They coordinated with the DJ and photographer and everything felt perfectly paced. The outdoor area overlooking the mountain was a perfect spot to step out, watch the beautiful sunset and get some fresh air. Thank you again to Tim, Tia and all of the incredible staff who made our day perfect.”

“We had our wedding at Kindred Creeks at the beginning of May 2022. I have so many great things to say about this place! First off, Jill was extraordinary, caring, attentive and so helpful from start to finish. She was able to work within our budget while keeping our dream wedding a reality. She had rain plans, sunny day plans, plans for more or less people and was thorough throughout. Her father, Gerry, who lives in the farm came out the day before and day of the wedding to make sure we were taken care of and that anything we needed would be done. And the tent staff was kind, courteous and officiant! The grounds itself were gorgeous! We were the first to use the airstream bridal suite which got so many compliments and great photos. They also redid the bridge across the creek for the wedding party to walk over during the ceremony. I fell in love with the green barn and even though it needs to come down soon, they held off construction so we could take pictures in front of it. We got married right where the two creeks meet which was so beautiful. All our guest had nothing be great things to say and we are beyond happy with the experience. If you are thinking of taking a tour of the farm, don’t hesitate! You will fall in love just like we did!”

“If you want a PARTY, book this venue. They have multiple rooms at this venue you can book depending on your headcount. We booked the Majestic Room on the top floor for 75 people. They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows. The service is WHITE GLOVE and the food will impress your guests. Book this venue!”

We’re conveniently located just minutes off of RT. 8 & I-84. Come see why we are the easy choice.

“From our first conversation with Andrew, we knew La Bella Vista was the right choice for us. He genuinely cares about the venue and wants every detail to be perfect. You can tell he puts his heart and soul into every aspect (especially the food). Needless to say, the food was as phenomenal as he explained! We felt this energy throughout the entire process. Cara made planning stress-free by responding quickly to our questions and keeping us organized every step of the way. I am truly going to miss emailing and meeting with her. On our wedding day, Tricia was right there when we needed her, always attentive and ready to help with anything that came up. She came equipped with water and tissues, and felt like another mother figure on the big day. The whole team treated us like family. La Bella Vista delivered an elegant and classy experience. The cost was also completely fair for everything that you get both food and experience wise. If you want a stress- free wedding day that people talk about long after for all the right reasons, this place is for you!”

“We had our wedding at Bristol Event Center in August of this year and truly cannot say enough good things about our experience. From start to finish, the entire BEC team went above and beyond to make the planning process feel easy, organized, and stress-free. One of the things that meant the most to us was how much care they put into getting our cultural food right. We incorporated Vietnamese dishes into our wedding menu, and the chef did an amazing job, especially considering he had never even eaten Vietnamese food before working with us. The team really took the time to listen to our feedback and make sure the food felt authentic and special to us. Everything turned out beautifully, and our guests loved it. They were also so supportive of us incorporating cultural elements into the wedding, including a lion dance. It was something that was really meaningful to us and our families, and we appreciated how open and accommodating they were in helping us make it happen. Another detail we loved was how customizable all of the screens throughout the venue were. We were able to display our photos, use the screens for our seating chart, and even have our photo displayed on the marquee at the front of the building. Seeing that when we arrived was such a cool and special touch and made the whole venue feel like it was truly ours for the day. Special shout out to Sarah!! She’s your point of contact when you work with BEC and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She and the rest of the team were always easy to reach, prompt with their responses, and never left me hanging. I always felt supported throughout the planning process. Julia, Gina, and the rest of the BEC crew were also wonderful, professional, responsive, and accommodating. I really wanted our guests to have a fun and memorable experience, and BEC was so supportive of all of our ideas. We added an ice cream truck to the celebration, and they were completely on board and helped make everything work smoothly. I never felt like I was asking for too much or going overboard. They really made me feel like we could create the wedding we actually wanted. Coordinating with the hotel attached to the venue was also a breeze, which made the entire wedding weekend easier for both us and our guests. What I appreciated most was that I never had to worry about whether the venue would follow through on what they promised. They consistently came through for us, which allowed me to focus on the important things, enjoying the experience and bringing my dream wedding to life instead of stressing over logistics. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be, and Bristol Event Center played such a huge role in making that possible. We are so grateful to Sarah, Julia, Gina, the chef, and the entire BEC team. I would recommend this venue without hesitation to anyone looking for a beautiful space, amazing food, and a team that truly cares about making your wedding feel personal and special.”

“THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! OUR GUESTS ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT. PAUL WAS ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR SPECIAL REQUESTS AND PICKY GUESTS, AND WHEN WE WERE A FEW PEOPLE SHORT ON OUR GUEST COUNT THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE UPGRADES SO WE WEREN’T JUST WASTING MONEY. SERVICE WAS SEAMLESS AND WE LOVED THE DUET STYLE MAINS. IT ALLEVIATED STRESS NOT HAVING TO ASK EVERYONE WHAT THEY WANTED TO EAT. PAUL MADE SURE OUR SPECIAL DAY WAS PERFECT. HE WAS AROUND ALL DAY TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS CORRECT AND HE HANDLED ALL THE VENDORS AS THEY ARRIVED AND WE WERE ABLE TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE WEDDING! We didn’t need a planner. The bridal attendant was not as good as I’d hoped but my friends and family stepped in to help where needed. Aside from that everything went perfectly.”

“Tarrytown House Estate is a truly beautiful wedding venue and an incredible value for what it offers. The grounds are stunning, especially in the fall, with endless photo opportunities that made our entire weekend feel like the Broadway production we planned (Note: our wedding had a light Broadway theme that worked very well at TTHE). From the ceremony to the reception to the afterparty, the property offered a wide range of adaptable spaces, which made it easy to tailor the layout to our vision and comfortably accommodate a large guest list. The food was a standout. It was delicious, abundant, and consistently praised by our guests, both for quality and quantity. Many guests commented that it exceeded their expectations. The venue’s preferred vendor list and Ann’s suggested vendors were also a huge help. It saved us time, reduced stress, and ultimately helped us manage costs without sacrificing quality. One of the biggest highlights was the speakeasy afterparty space, which was a total hit and made the post wedding Pajama party, memorable finale. The venue is also very accessible in terms of planning. We were able to visit often, walk the grounds freely, and truly familiarize ourselves with the property ahead of the big day, which made us feel confident and prepared. The only challenge worth noting is that the hotel room layout can be a bit confusing, and the property is not the most accessible for older guests or those with limited mobility. That said, we forgot to ensure that less mobile guests were given the most accessible room and they do have a golf cart to shuttle guests around. We also cannot say enough good things about Ann, our venue coordinator. She was exceptional from start to finish. Her communication was clear and timely, and it was immediately obvious that she is deeply experienced and knows this venue inside and out. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly personable, and she genuinely made us feel like she was on our team rather than trying to sell us on upgrades we didn’t need. Ann was an invaluable source of insight, advice, and creative problem-solving, and she was always willing to entertain and help execute our more ambitious or unconventional ideas (e.g. a Reindeer Ringbearer). She consistently offered thoughtful, cost-effective guidance that helped us bring our vision to life without unnecessary stress or expense. On the wedding day itself, she was incredibly present, calm, and responsive, handling details seamlessly and making us feel fully supported. At every step, she made us feel like her only and most valued clients. Overall, we would highly recommend Tarrytown House Estate and Ann to any couple looking for a beautiful, flexible venue with excellent food, strong vendor partnerships, and truly outstanding coordination.”

“My husband and I booked this venue before all of the renovations were completed, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Our wedding was truly a dream come true. The venue was absolutely breathtaking, and the coastal wedding vibe we envisioned came to life perfectly. From the very beginning, the entire team was wonderful to work with, especially Mirian. She made the planning process incredibly organized, seamless, and stress-free. Mirian ensured that every detail was considered and went above and beyond to help us create our dream wedding. She coordinated with our vendors, accommodated our requests, and worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and for making our special day possible. The food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about it! The short rib was phenomenal, and the mashed potato station was a huge hit. From cocktail hour to dinner and dessert, every option was delicious and beautifully presented. We received countless compliments on the food and overall experience. The venue was also extremely accommodating, particularly when it came to dietary needs, which meant a lot to us and our guests. A special thank you to both Mirian and Joe for their dedication and genuine care throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue or team to help us celebrate one of the most important days of our lives. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning location, exceptional service, and an unforgettable wedding experience.”

“Overall, we are happy with our wedding day. The Mansion is in the process of being renovated/restored and so far it is looking beautiful! The hotel rooms were recently updated and guests were happy with them. The food was also FANTASTIC! (All of our guests were raving about all of the food). They clearly are a well oiled machine when it comes to throwing weddings. We also had our welcome dinner there the night before, which went amazingly and there was so much food everyone was happy! However, there were a few hiccups that bothered us considering how much money is put into having a wedding & how this venue does weddings all.the.time. so expectations are high. In the planning process, the event coordinator position was replaced 3 times in the year we were planning our wedding with them, the last replacement being the week before our wedding. The final replacement did not have any of our vendor info or cake selections and called me 4 days before my wedding about it (...scary). It must've been a miscommunication from the coordinator prior to her, as that girl never responded to any of our emails; I'm sure she did not keep any notes. The current coordinator also could not answer simple questions our friends/family asked her and was very pushy. On our wedding day, I was paired with a Maitre D who was very sweet, but I'm not sure about her "years" of experience that she claimed to have. While taking photos with our photographer she wasn't paying attention and wasn't fixing my dress/veil every time wind blew it out of place so the photographer had to leave his place each time to fix it himself (it was a windy day so this happened a lot). The photographer also asked her to assist in a "veil toss" shot and she ripped the veil from my head, yanking my head back, when she was just supposed to toss it up in the air. It hurt and pulled on my hair style that was supposed to last all night. I mentioned before the food was excellent, and the Chef is incredible. However, when we booked our venue last year, we were adamant about wanting a real wedding cake--not a fake one you cut one slice into for pictures. We were told by one of the event planners there that all tiers were going to be real cake, but during our cake cutting, we cut into styrofoam...it was disappointing. The cake they served was delicious, but we thought we were paying for a real cake because we were told it would be 100% real. We probably would not have booked this venue had we known we'd get a fake cake; it was something my dad made sure to ask at every venue we checked out, it was important to him. Additionally, some rude comments were overheard by our guests made by various staff members about our wedding. As a business owner whose business is to also provide a service, that is absolutely unacceptable, especially while on the job where people can hear you. Jazmin, the Chef, and the front desk ladies were very pleasant and professional to work with, but no one else there seemed to know what they were doing. It ended up working out but again, with how many weddings this place throws, you'd expect a better level of professionalism.”

From seeing the golf course, the waterfall, the gazebo, and incredible views, it was breathtaking and we imagined ourselves getting married there immediately. We met with Andrea during our tour, and had the pleasure of getting to work with her throughout our planning process, and was absolutely incredible on the day of our wedding! She made herself available to answer our (many) questions, going over timelines, and ensuring that our vision and dreams for the day came true. They had it all, from phenomenal staff to incredible food, not to mention the stunning views. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the entire wedding weekend. Andrea was an absolute gem to work with, and made sure everything we dreamed of came true. And when we got the opportunity to have fireworks during our reception?! To this day, we have friends and family still talking about the firework show. Andrea worked seamlessly with other vendors and the firework staff to make sure it was a surprise show that no one would forget. Our wedding day was a dream, and we are so glad we had it at the Falkirk Estate and Country Club. We are so incredibly happy we got the pleasure to work with them, and would recommend any couples that are starting the wedding planning process, to reach out to them.”
