Perfect Wedding Venue
Henrietta and Matt went above and beyond in all aspects of hosting. They responded to all inquiries promptly and clearly. The answer was never “no,” it was always “yes, we would be happy to accommodate you; here’s how we can do it.” They exemplified hospitality at all opportunity. We had several guests with unique dietary restrictions who were thoughtfully included with individual dishes or recipes so they never felt left out. They all expressed their gratitude for being so thoroughly cared for. I myself am a wedding vendor and have attended dozens and dozens of weddings both as a vendor and a guest; this is by far the best food I have ever had at a wedding venue, and the wine selection was phenomenal to boot. In all respects, we received nothing but positive feedback from our guests. It was a special day for everyone who attended in large part because of how special The Vanderbilt is. We got the unfortunate news that the lake was going to be drained to facilitate repairs to the dam three weeks before our wedding, and never even considered swapping venues because of the uniqueness of the space, Henrietta and Matt’s superb service, and the natural beauty of the backyard. We are completely serious when we say that the plant features added to replace the lake in the background may look even better in the photos than the lake would have. We understand that the lake may remain drained for the of the 2027 season. Please do not let that stop you from touring the space and meeting Henrietta to discuss your special day. The Vanderbilt is beautiful and I cannot imagine a better place to have been wed. We will add some photos once the photographer returns them to us!

September Wedding
We recently had our wedding at Vanderbilt Lakeside. Henrietta was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. She was always so responsive and helpful. She was so organized and answered any question we had. The weekend itself was truly a dream wedding for us. The space was amazing to host all of our close friends for the weekend. The space is so detailed orientated and beautiful with so much thought put into it. The chef, Matt, is amazing and we got so many compliments on the food. Specially the steak- which was cooked perfectly. The drinks were delicious and easy to get for guests. Henrietta made sure my parents had food as well and went out of her way to make sure our families were taken care of. I truly can’t recommend Vanderbilt enough. We had a larger guest count for the space at 128 guests and did a cocktail style wedding. There was plenty of food and they nailed the set up of it. It was such a unique and fun experience!

Intimate and stunning wedding venue!
We had the most perfect wedding weekend at Vanderbilt a few weeks ago. We had our joint bachelor-bachelorette party from Wednesday to Friday, our rehearsal dinner there on Friday, and then the most incredible wedding on Saturday. Every single aspect of our experience was absolutely wonderful. The place itself is stunning. Every room has a different vibe, and there is so much space to hang out. The outdoor deck, views, and landscaping really sold us on Vanderbilt; you feel totally immersed in nature while staying close to everything. Vanderbilt is also so close to Hudson, so going into town for a night out was easy and super fun. From the moment we inquired about availability back in November of last year, we knew we were in good hands with Henrietta. She doesn’t miss a beat and is so attentive, down-to-earth, and kind. She’s a wonderful communicator and worked seamlessly with our month-of coordinator and all of our vendors. She and her husband Matt (the Chef) are truly what make Vanderbilt so special. The food is absolutely delicious, and we're a picky group. Coming from NYC, we have high expectations and didn't want anything that resembled "wedding food," and Chef Matt did an incredible job. If we had just one of his dishes at a normal restaurant, we would be regulars. He was also super accommodating when it came to customizing both our rehearsal dinner and wedding menus. Also, the signature drinks they offer are delicious and super creative. The staff they hire as servers and bartenders are incredible too. They're total pros and make the entire event feel warm and fun. Every guest felt taken care of. I wish we could get married again just to relive this experience! Our wedding was over two weeks ago, and we're still having friends and family tell us that it was the best wedding they've ever been to.

The most perfect weekend venue!
From the moment we started planning, Henrietta at Vanderbilt Lakeside Bar Room & Guesthouse made everything so easy. She was thorough with every detail and got back to us quickly whenever we had questions, which meant I could actually relax and be present for our wedding weekend instead of stressing. What made this venue truly special was the ability to have our entire bridal party stay there with us—it felt like we were celebrating with our closest people the whole time, not just on the big day. Henrietta understood our style and vision so well that she customized everything perfectly, and when last minute thunderstorms rolled through, she handled it all smoothly without us having to worry. The whole experience was unique and eclectic, exactly what we wanted. We loved it so much that we're already talking about coming back for our anniversary.

Vanderbilt Lakeside is a hidden treasure!
We are so grateful we found Vanderbilt Lakeside for our wedding weekend. The location is absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for our celebration, but what truly made the experience exceptional was Henrietta. She is an absolute gem. Planning a wedding that also included accommodations for the weekend came with a lot of moving pieces, but Henrietta was incredibly thorough, organized, and accommodating throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and make sure every detail was covered, which made everything feel as stress-free as possible. The entire team was wonderful to work with, and the food prepared by Matt was absolutely delicious. Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the meals. From the planning process through the wedding weekend itself, everything exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a unique venue with a stunning location, amazing food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your event special, we cannot recommend this place enough. It was the perfect place to celebrate with our family and friends, and we'll always look back on our wedding weekend with wonderful memories!
