Skyview Golf Club was the PERFECT place to get married! My now husband and I had a blast at this venue and they made the process soo smooth. Hildegard was a huge help and basically held our hand along the way to make sure we checked everything needed to get done. Not to mention, we were planning a wedding across the country so her communication was essential to this process. I couldn't have asked for a better spot. It's also such a naturally beautiful venue that we didn't need to go overboard with the decoration as they already had a lot of stuff on site! I would 100% recommend this location to people and already have to some of my recently engaged friends! Additionally, their partnered vendors were everything we needed as well. Made it so much easier as they had recommendations already on lock. Thank you again Skyview for making our special night the most memorable.

Perfect isn't even enough to describe our wedding experience with terrain DelVal. It truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Everyone we had the chance to interact with was great. We had Paige as our coordinator and she was just awesome. She was super easy to get in touch with and always happy to help. The space itself is stunning. The second we walked in I was ready to book. The indoor ceremony space was perfect for our winter wedding. The FOOD omg..I am still hearing about how good it was. I've had so many people tell me it was hands down the best wedding food they've ever had. Some have since gone back to go to the restaurant because of it. I can't recommend terrain enough. Trust me, book it!

Mountainville made our wedding absolutely AMAZING! Lauren, James, and their team were incredible from start to finish - always so helpful, organized, knew what they were doing, filled in our gaps, and just made the whole thing so easy. We didn't hire a wedding planner, and it was totally doable to plan our wedding ourselves with Lauren on our team acting as Day-of-Coordinator. Their packages were great and SUCH a good deal for what we got. We received numerous comments stating that our wedding was great (some even called it the "best wedding ever!"), and Mountainville is definitely the reason why - the grounds are absolutely gorgeous, the staff was attentive and helpful throughout the night, and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. Not to mention that the food was absolutely amazing, and there was plenty of it! I wholeheartedly recommend Mountainville Manor to any couple planning their wedding!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at The Rockleigh. From our first conversation through the big day, the team was professional and outstanding in every way. Zara Khayatian deserves special recognition for her incredible attention to detail and warm personality—she made sure every single one of our wishes came to life.

I can't begin to describe the amazing wedding celebration we had at The Terrace at Biagio's. We had our ceremony at the venue as well and everything went perfect! Barbara and John were top tier! Communicating with me from the moment we met until the wedding, answering all my questions at all hours and making our vision come to life! They were on top of everything from start to finish, and we were constantly taken care of us. Not only did they excel but they did it all with great personality and love! The Terrace itself was a gem! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour! It was an assortment of the best food possible, all so fresh and impossible to not go back for more. Bar service was top notch and our signature drinks were a hit! (Barbra actually was the one who made that vision come alive! Lavender martini and bacon maple ole fashioned). The dessert hour was a fire show! (Literally a fire show) And there was every dessert possible! Carnival, ice creams, cakes, cookies, chocolate fondue, etc! We had our first look down the road at another location but we took photos on site in the front of the entrance to the terrace and they came out beautiful! It's a smaller area but it has beautiful flowers and a stream. The ceremony was on the roof top and it was beautiful with the waterfall fountain and stone fire place! Lots of cute places to take some very nice photos! Along with the string lights and arch, it was a dream. I can't rave enough about how much Biagios made our day so enjoyable, and beautiful. I would recommend them over and over again thank you again to the hardworking staff, Barbara, John and Tommy. It is a night we will cherish forever. Oh, and they allow dogs to be in the ceremony It was everything to be able to have our fur baby share our special day with us.

The Views at Mt Fuji was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Pia was attentive and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a traditional Japanese aesthetic. Everyone loved the food (and many thought that our spread at the cocktail hour was actually dinner!). Throughout the event, the staff ensured we were well taken care of, always making sure we had food and drinks at our loveseat table. The best part is that so much of the decoration, cake, and other includes are already taken care of, which let us focus on other things. Very, very happy with Pia and Mt. Fuji!

Dreams really do come true at the Tides!The best thing you can do is book your wedding there. From the day we booked and leading up to our big day Michael was very forthcoming and helpful. He was very responsive, followed up on all my questions and made sure we felt supported. The venue itself looks out of a fairytale. They are in a rural location so the greenery as you drive up is beautiful. The inside looks akin to a palace with many rooms and a beautiful lobby.  You don't even have to decorate too much because the place itself is so elegant and classy. The garden is soooo breathtaking. They have 2 ceremony spaces outside, beautiful flowers and greenery. Plus it's so big! You get a lot of bang for your buck. I didn't hire a day of coordinator and I basically planned everything myself with the bridal party, but the Maitre D and venue staff were very instrumental in making sure our event ran smoothly. I was super nervous thinking about the day of. I planned everything out but couldn't leave my seat because hello, I'm the bride lol. I was getting ready all morning.  But thanks to our Maitre D Alberto, the event flower perfectly. He kept us on time. Helped get the bridal party together. He literally went above and beyond. It's so incredible just thinking back to it. I know some venues are hands off. But the staff was just so dedicated to making our every request happen if possible. Thanks to Alberto, our wedding day went by beautifully without any hitch or drama. It's unbelievable because I heard there is always some kind of issue the day of. We paid for a 6am opening so me and my bridesmaids could get ready at the venue. Michael set up a wonderful breakfast in the bridal suite it was like being home! We were so comfortable and we're ready on time for our 11am start. Truly wonderful. We had the small bridal suite so to our small party but it was super nice and a great set up for getting ready! The food and the drinks were to die for. First of all, the cocktail hour was loaded with so much food! Not only do they include a variety of delicious hor'devours. You get to choose from from different entrees and stations. The guest are still raving about it a month later! Everything was excellent. From the presentation to the quality of the meals, it was the best wedding food I've ever had. When the reception came all the guests were too stuffed for their reception entrees! My cake came from David's Custom Cakes, their partner. I got the dulce de leche filling and let me tell you it was so rich! I'm definitely coming back the next time I need a cake! Honestly I am a happy bride. I have no regrets, in fact it was even better than I imagined! Don't hesitate to book them, you will not regret it!

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.

Incredible, gorgeous venue! Althea and the whole staff were incredibly instrumental in the planning and day of our wedding! This wouldn’t have happened without Althea. She is responsive, kind and always there to support. Her resume speaks for itself- had her wedding there as well. I truly cannot say enough good things about the venue. The catering is delicious, and for a wedding in 2026 still technically in NYC, we were able to keep the cost reasonably affordable. Their pricing for a plate ranges from under 100 which is a bargain in my eyes. Filled with ample places to take pictures, options for ceremony inside and outside, we were able to have 130 people sit comfortably outside. We could not be more floored by the staff’s experience and expertise and would recommend this to anyone who wants a beautiful outdoor setting and something within the city limits.

We could not have been happier with how our wedding day turned out, and how seamless and stress-free the planning process was. Emily, CL's events coordinator, is just awesome. She's communicative, flexible, and makes the entire process as easy as possible. We did a tasting prior to our wedding and we were blown away by how good the food was; people at and after our wedding also told us that they were not expecting such good food at a brewery. I would absolutely, 10000% recommend having your wedding at Captain Lawrence Brewery!

The venue itself is absolutely stunning—a breathtaking castle surrounded by gorgeous gardens that gave our wedding day a fairytale feel.

We had our wedding at The One & Only Westmount Country Club in early November 2025. It was a perfect venue! The staff were amazing, and the site was impeccable. From the moment we toured the Westmount it was pretty clear it would be perfect for us. We wanted to do the wedding on-site in the garden off the Continental Ballroom. Karen worked with us to make everything perfect and coordinated every detail according to our vision for the day. Since the wedding, we have heard nothing but praise and compliments from our guests. Multiple people have told us they have never had such good food at a wedding, and the dessert extravaganza (only word to describe it) was second to none. From the welcome drinks and snacks, to the cocktail hour, to dinner service and dessert, our guests cannot stop raving about the food and service. The outdoor venue with twinkle lights in the trees, up lighting, a fountain next to the gazebo, and the picturesque garden gate was the entire aesthetic we wanted. We highly recommend The One & Only Westmount Country Club. The staff, the venue, the food, and the suggested vendors all made for a dream wedding and magical night.

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about The Briarcliff Manor and especially Kelsey. From the very first time my husband and I walked through the doors, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. We only toured one venue because we immediately knew it was the perfect fit for us. The beauty of the property, the charm, and the feeling we had there made us feel like we had found “our place.” Growing up, I always loved the movie Father of the Bride, and walking into The Briarcliff Manor gave me that same timeless, elegant feeling as the home where Annie got married. It felt like the perfect setting for the wedding I had always dreamed of, and I knew it was somewhere we would create memories we would cherish forever. Kelsey was absolutely incredible throughout the entire planning process. She was patient with my endless questions, requests, and big personality, and she always made us feel heard and supported. Her organization, responsiveness, and attention to detail helped make the entire process feel so much easier. On our wedding day, she made sure everything ran seamlessly so we could truly relax and soak in every moment. The entire Briarcliff Manor team went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. The venue was absolutely stunning, the service was exceptional, and the food was incredible. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was, and we have heard from multiple people that the salmon was the best they have ever had! We are so grateful to Kelsey and the entire team at The Briarcliff Manor for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We truly cannot imagine celebrating our love anywhere else, and we will always be thankful for the memories created in such a special place.

Our experience at The Legacy Castle for my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding was nothing short of exceptional. Our family will always be grateful for the beautiful memories created there. Having worked in the wedding business for 30 years, choosing the right venue was not easy for me. I know that a beautiful setting is only part of what makes a wedding successful. I didn’t want to see only what the guests would see—I needed to understand what happened behind the scenes. A well-organized venue is what allows a wedding to feel effortless and flawless, with calm professionalism instead of last-minute scrambling. From our first visit, coordinators Felix and Marina understood exactly what mattered to me. They didn’t simply give us a tour; they took the time to answer my questions and show us everything I wanted to see, including the immaculate kitchen. Many venues would never allow prospective clients to see their kitchens, so their openness, patience, and pride in the property gave me complete confidence. The booking process was just as easy. I explained our vision, they listened, and they made everything go smoothly from the very beginning. To bring our vision to life, I trusted my friend Phil Sammut from Pedestal to decorate the castle—and he did an incredible job. Everything looked absolutely magical. Our guests could not believe how beautiful the venue was or how wonderful the food and service were. They were still talking about the wedding a month later! On the wedding day, Jose, the maître d’, was exactly the person we needed. He handled every detail calmly and perfectly. When a few issues arose with outside vendors, Jose immediately stepped in and resolved them seamlessly. Because he had everything under control, I didn’t have to spend the day asking questions or worrying. Instead, I was able to be fully present with my family and truly enjoy celebrating my son and daughter-in-law at their reception. That meant more to me than I can express. When we arrived, Felix, Marina, Jose, Julianna, and the entire staff greeted us warmly and made us feel genuinely at home. When my son and daughter-in-law arrived, Julianna, their bridal assistant, cared for them from beginning to end with such kindness and attention. Knowing they were in her hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. After 30 years in the wedding business, I know what outstanding service looks like—and it takes a great deal to exceed my expectations. The Legacy Castle did exactly that. Beyond the stunning setting, the entire team gave us confidence, comfort, and the freedom to enjoy every precious moment. We will always remember not only what they did for us, but how special they made our family feel. I recommend The Legacy Castle wholeheartedly.

Choosing Riverview Ballroom for our daughter's wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was something special, but seeing our daughter's wedding day come to life there exceeded every expectation we had. The setting is absolutely breathtaking. We were blessed with beautiful weather and were able to have the ceremony outside overlooking the river and the New York City skyline. It created the most stunning backdrop and photographed so beautifully. Working with Stefania was an absolute pleasure. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she made us feel supported every step of the way. She was always organized, responsive, calm, and genuinely cared about making our daughter's day everything she had dreamed of. On the wedding day, the entire staff worked together so seamlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. We were able to simply be present and enjoy every precious moment with our family and friends. The ballroom itself is gorgeous. The elegant white décor and beautiful marble floors create a timeless, sophisticated space that complements any style or color palette. The bridal attendant was absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and always one step ahead of what was needed. She took such wonderful care of our daughter throughout the day. Our daughter's wedding was everything we had hoped for and more, and Riverview Ballroom played a huge role in making it such an unforgettable day. If you're looking for a venue with breathtaking views, outstanding service, and people who truly care about making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Riverview Ballroom highly enough.
