Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Liv Florally for our wedding flowers was an incredible experience. Their communication was efficient and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the bouquets, centerpieces, and other floral arrangements they created were absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. They made everything so easy for us, taking care of my bouquet right after the ceremony to decorate our sweetheart table. They also handled our delicate tallit with great care and respect. Emily and the team at Liv Florally really held our hands and guided us through the process, as we didn't have a lot of experience with wedding florals. They helped us brainstorm and bring our vision to life in the most stunning way. We are so grateful for their expertise and highly recommend Liv Florally to any couple planning their wedding.

The 76 House is America’s oldest tavern. Built with the founding of Tappan (1686) and expanded in 1755 to accommodate the town’s need to provide hospitality to stagecoach travelers, it is here that the Dutch town fathers, a group naturally predisposed to separate themselves from England, gathered to draft and sign The Resolutions of Orangetown on July 4, 1774. This document stands as one of America’s first declarations of independence and is often given as the reason we celebrate July 4. The ‘76 accommodates up to 150 guests in 3 distinctly styled dining rooms, each one graced with a glowing fireplace. Whether you’re planning a corporate luncheon for two dozen guests, a family celebration for fifty or a glamorous wedding, personal assistance from our experienced events staff ensures a flawlessly executed occasion to be remembered for years to come. Small one room wedding beginning at $5,000 Buy out weddings begin at $25,000 Price varies with your custom package.

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • No on-site bridal suite
  • On-site parking not available
Our vision for our wedding was for all our favorite people having a night out at a bar and the 76 house more than delivered! We loved the historical aspect of the restaurant and they even had little pamphlets our guests could take that shared the history of the venue. This is a bit of an untraditional wedding venue (as it is a restaurant) but that didn’t stop anyone from dancing and having a great time. From the moment we started working with Elisa (our “wedding planner” aka the woman who runs the show) she was detail oriented while willing to work with us throughout the whole process. Whether it was from payment, table arrangements, food, getting the vendors set up, etc. anything we needed, she helped. The food tasting she set up for us was amazing allowing us to try various options for the dinner. We are both laid back people so we let the chef go with any appetizers he wanted. You are able to request anything you want and they will likely be able to do it for you. The chef did not disappoint, ALL of the apps were incredible. We had one guest mention he ate 20 meatballs they were so good. There was chicken, steak skewers, lamb chops, meatballs, hummus/veggie spread (that wasn’t even all that was served). We had eaten at the restaurant a few times so we knew the food was good. However, having to serve 120 people and still make it delicious is tough but they did it well (we went with the chateaubriand, amish chicken, mahi mahi, and vegetable risotto). We requested no pork or nuts for the whole wedding. We had a wedding cake through a bakery they recommended and they also put plates of small desserts out on the tables. Aside from the food, the service was amazing. All the waiters and waitresses were attentive and extremely professional. For us, we constantly had our champagne filled and asked whether we needed something. They were on top of water refills, drink requests, clean up, etc. We really appreciated the service given to us and our guests. We heard so many times during cocktail hour that every time someone turned around they had a food option. While we did not have to go up to the bar, our guests said the bartenders were awesome, quick, and generous! Elisa worked great with our other vendors as well, making sure they had everything they needed and that things were kept on schedule (food, dances, cake, etc). We had a completely stress free evening which allowed us to have the time of our lives. She ensured that our tables were set with the centerpieces, the florals were set up, and she created a menu for us (which is great to have something taken off our plate). Elisa also, set up our various signs and ensured everything was where we had discussed. We were able to drop everything off ahead of time and not have anything to worry about the day of. Our biggest concern going to this venue was the fact that the front room was partially separated from the rest of the restaurant. We decided to sit people there who we knew would be a bit rowdier and on the dance floor so it wasn’t an issue for us at all. It did get pretty toasty in there but we were dancing the whole time and it’s an older building. The air tried its best and while sitting for dinner it was more than comfortable! We are a crazy group so I’m not surprised we were sweating lol. This was the best day and a HUGE part of that is thanks to Elisa and her whole team at the 76 house. Food, service, people are TOP NOTCH. We could go on and on but ran out of space :)

Writing a LONG overdue review for Megan and Kenneth, who we worked with for our summer 2025 wedding in Saugerties, NY. These two are simply the best of the best!!!! After seeing Megan and Kenneth’s photography style, we knew we were interested in working with them, but once we had our first phone call, we were sold. These two are true professionals— they are organized, efficient with communication, and ultimately, caring friends and partners to their clients. We had full trust in Megan and Kenneth on the day of our engagement shoot and on our wedding day, and they were such a kind and comforting presence throughout. They helped my husband and I feel at ease in front of the camera!

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Richard was absolutely incredible and not only a highlight, but a key part of why our day was so perfect. He was so easy to work with, kept our day peaceful and on schedule, and provided our incredible photos so quickly including many previews within 24 hours!! On the big day, he was calm and attentive, and really settled any anxious energy I was feeling. He arrived early and beyond prepared. He took all the shots I asked, and others I didn’t even know I needed. We opted into the second photographer and were so happy with the extra coverage and support we received from Mikaela! We did our vows privately and even though Richard shooting it really did feel like it was just us. Richard also was a huge help corralling family members and keeping us on schedule. He had fun with us on the dance floor and kept pictures moving so we really got to enjoy our wedding! Mikeala was also great at always rearranging my dress/train to fall perfectly for every single family portrait! We really couldn’t have done our day successfully without Richard and Mikeala! Almost more importantly, Richard’s support and organization before our wedding day was unmatched. We did engagement photos at our apartment and in Central Park that we used for our Save the Dates and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how they came out. We didn’t have a wedding planner/coordinator so Richard was instrumental in creating our timeline and then making sure everything stayed on schedule! Can’t wait to use Richard again for family photos sometime in the future!! :)

I'm Matthew, a wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. With a decade as a wedding photographer and 15 years as an educator, I bring two things to every wedding: the ability to document moments as they happen, and the calm to handle whatever the day brings. I prepare carefully, communicate beforehand, and stay present when it's busy. My style is mostly documentary. I blend into the wedding, observing and documenting moments as they happen rather than staging them. Feedback I hear most often is that couples weren't aware of me, but that I got everything. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love, and every kind of marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful we booked Matthew for our wedding photography. His thoughtfulness, professionalism, and organization were exactly what we were looking for. His eye for scenery and lighting also really set him apart. Throughout our wedding journey, his thoughtful planning helped set a timeline for our big day. He listened to what we wanted, and his personalized schedule allowed for plenty of time with our guests while also composing beautiful shots. On the day of the wedding, he made us feel comfortable just being ourselves and blended seamlessly into the background when needed. He also did not hesitate to suggest the small adjustments we needed to make a beautiful shot. We truly meant it when we told him we were most excited to work with him out of all of the vendors, and we would book him again and again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Matthew!

Skylark Music

  • Serves Tappan, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
Justin was a pleasure to work with from the initial interview to the last song at our wedding. Justin played with a three piece band for our ceremony (guitar, piano, bass) and cocktail hour (saxophone, piano, bass) and then DJ'd our reception. Justin made sure that the music played at our wedding and cocktail hour was tailored to specifically match the vibe of our dinner playlist. He even surprised us by playing one of our favorite Herbie Hancock tunes during cocktail hour. The vibe of the live jazz trio during cocktail hour was a perfect transition over to dinner. Justin then switched over to DJ our dinner and reception afterwards. He played all the right songs to keep the dance floor flowing all night. If you are seeking a combination of live music and DJ at your wedding I would highly recommend Skylark Music.

I can’t say enough great things about Annaliese & Co.! From my first convo with her, to my trial and then the wedding day itself, Annaliese was a total dream to work with. She was professional, responsive, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. On my wedding day, my hair turned out absolutely perfect. I felt truly beautiful, and that was such a huge part of making the day feel special. Annaliese paid attention to every little detail, making sure I was completely happy with the final look and was so flexible with any changes I wanted to make, no matter how big or small. Annaliese and her co-stylist, Heather, were absolute pros! Not only did Annaliese work her magic on my hair, but they both styled the hair of five other women, including our little 5-year-old flower girl. Everyone loved their styles and looked and felt stunning, and the whole process felt like we were getting pampered! What was also beyond impressive was how well the styles held up throughout the entire day and night—everything stayed flawless! Annaliese and Heather were truly my wedding day heroes. They made the getting-ready process so much fun, and their calming presence helped ease my wedding day nerves. I can’t recommend them enough!

Because we booked her far in advance, our vision evolved a bit throughout planning, and she was incredibly thorough and helpful every step of the way—creating updated vision boards, adjusting pricing, and walking us through options as things changed. Her pricing was more than fair, especially considering the quantity of flowers and the sheer amount of work she and her team put into our day. They went above and beyond, and the final result was even more beautiful than we could have imagined, she truly brought our vision to life! One of our favorite photos captures our reaction seeing the flowers for the first time, and you can literally feel Ani’s warmth, kindness, and excitement in that moment.

From our first interaction with Valentino Entertainment, LLC, we were impressed by their thorough, relaxed, and reassuring communication style. Paul and his team provided a truly professional experience, with top-notch equipment and amazing value for the services they delivered. They worked tirelessly as our hard-working entertainers, genuinely caring about making our special day a blast. The reception environment was such an active party - at one point, I went back to the head table to get water and no one was sitting, as people were fully dancing or enjoying the music from the sidelines. Even when we had to make some last-minute changes to the day's details, Paul was able to roll with it seamlessly, even practicing our long last name until he got it right. The remainder of the reception was an absolute blast, with people dancing through the entire end of the night. It was truly the best day and party we could have had, and we would hire Valentino Entertainment, LLC again in a heartbeat. The photobooth was also a great value-add.

Hiring Jess was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, period! From the first time we met, Jess showed genuine care, attention, and excitement about who we are and our special day. Our work kicked off together during an engagement shoot at Coney Island. She went above and beyond-driving 5 hours from the Hudson Valley to meet us at our dream location. We spent the night together, and she never made us feel like we were on the clock. Jess is truly so generous with her time. Our wedding day was of course, even more special. Taking photos with my husband, Jess, and her brilliant second shooter were some of the best moments of our day. Jess went above and beyond her role of photographer - making sure our special people looked tidy, keeping us all on schedule, and ensuring we were well fed and hydrated throughout the day. What really stood out is the care she showed for my loved ones: a family member with autism, and my 97-year-old grandma; having adjusted the schedule to accommodate them. We received a highlights gallery within days of our wedding, and the full album within 2 months (gratefully before Thanksgiving so we could reminisce over the holiday with our loved ones). Before our wedding, I walked through my Pinterest board with Jess. I see so much of what we discussed shine through in our photos. I am so impressed with Jess' attention to detail and diversity in portfolio - from documentary style to editorial shots. Finally, Jess has great knowledge of our venue, Bear Mountain Inn and the accompanying state park. She took us to incredible hidden pockets in the woods, and navigated to the more heavily trafficked viewpoints with expertise. We are so grateful to Jess for capturing our day with so much warmth and love. Hiring Jess is the best decision you'll make in wedding planning! 3

We absolutely LOVED working with Justine at Mills Memories for our special day! Justine went above and beyond at every step of the way for us. We knew we needed a coordinator for the day of, but Justine met with us about once a month for almost a full year leading up to the wedding. She made sure we were staying on track with all the to-dos and even provided a checklist for us to work through. The week of the wedding she was on top of everything. All of our other vendors sang her praises and we can confirm, working with Justine made our whole wedding day so much smoother. She also came to our rehearsal which was a huge help, not only because it was great that she knew how everything at the church should go on the day of, but also because I had a wardrobe malfunction and she was there to help my matron of honor sew me into my rehearsal dinner dress. To top it all off, when we were going through the cards from our wedding night, we found the sweetest card from Justine, which was such a beautifully kind gesture. We are so grateful for all the hard work and dedication that Justine put into our wedding day and we can’t recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough about Tasha; she is so easy going, adaptable, and fun to work with. Her communication was always prompt and friendly, she was open to what we wanted and more than delivered. We have so many beautiful, funny, and sweet memories from our wedding day because of her. It's one thing to experience those moments and another to get to actually see them. We would choose Tasha again every time!

From when we chatting on Facebook to our first zoom meeting, we fell in love with Lisa. Her energy and kindness put me at ease. She was always responsive with answering every question. She commanded the day of the wedding. She even fixed my veil when I got to the ceremony. I was clueless on what I wanted. She helped every step of the way. She is one of the nicest people I have met and made me so calm throughout the wedding. I'm obsessed with our photos. Her passion for photography really shines. She had some challenges because my husband is over a foot and a half taller than me. She was able to get some amazing shots. She was able to photograph everyone from an early ceremony to dusk. She was right out there on the dance floor. She captured so many amazing moments. Lisa's photos are helping me relive this magical day. We are 2 people who don't like our photos taken. Lisa worked worked so well with us. Putting us at ease. I love candid shots and she got so many. She made sure we stayed on track. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and our photos are a great way to remember that day. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We have received so many compliments. I will always cherish Lisa and what she did for us.

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!

Hi! I am a professional makeup artist specializing in bridal! I have been in the wedding industry since 2018 and loving every second of it. I am so grateful for each and every one of my brides that trust my team and I on their big day!

Gab made me feel so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. I decided to go in a different direction from my trial makeup and was anxious to see how it would come together, but Gab took my feedback and executed to perfection. I wish I could’ve saved that face as a mask to rewear! She was also the sweetest to work with and made me feel so comfortable in her chair. My bridesmaids were in love with their looks, too (see screenshot). Thank you times a million, Gab!!!

As someone who truly values wedding cake, there was a lot of pressure from family and friends. Victoria and I chatted directly several times, and mostly because she was so lovely I wanted to talk to her more. She is an INCREDIBLE artist with true talent for bringing flavors and designs to life. This cake was so stunning it stole the show! She is communicative, transparent, kind, and thoughtful. The entire process was executed flawlessly.

The ladies at Elle Beauty were friendly and personable, and we enjoyed working with them. However, after my trial I should have pursued someone different for my hair! The makeup was fantastic and Mikayla was so kind, but the hair was not as polished as we expected. I'm attaching my MIL's photo, with her hair and makeup immediately after the stylists left, so you can make your own judgements- that being said, they did ask multiple times if we were comfortable with the look, but we felt a time-crunch and accepted what it was. I've also attached my photo immediately after the session- again, I loved the makeup but I wish my hair was set to last the whole night. Both ladies were flexible when we changed the location last minute, making a long drive to support us at the venue, and we so appreciate that! I would suggest Elle Beauty for those in the immediate Kingston area of NY.

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at The Views at Mt Fuji and could not have been happier with our choice! Pia and her team were a delight to work with every step of the way. Communication was fast, honest, easy, and open - Pia always responded quickly to emails and was upfront about options and pricing. The venue itself is stunningly beautiful and provided a professional, picture-perfect backdrop for our special day. Pia went above and beyond by helping set up extra details for our reception like the signage and decor. She was there the moment the party started to make sure everything went smoothly. We're so grateful to Pia, William, Mr. Yoshi and the whole staff for making our wedding absolutely beautiful and stress-free. Their hard work and attention to detail made our day feel magical!
