The night of my wedding, the venue looks absolutely beautiful. Everything from the cocktail hour room to the ballroom and bridal suite was stunning. The view of the TZ bridge lit up at night and the ceiling to floor windows made a breathtaking view that our guests talked about all night. Howard was so accommodating and treated me like a princess. He made sure everything was running smoothly and on time and made sure we had everything we could possibly need. The team at The View really made our night everything it was because of their professionalism and true passion for what they do. Thank you guys for a night we will NEVER forget!

I cannot express how incredible the The View on the Hudson was for my wedding. Howard, specifically went above and beyond for me and my entire family, i'm sure to Howard it was all in a days work as he has been doing this forever but it SHOWS. I had not ONE bit of wedding stress nor did I question ANYTHING in any of our meetings, Howard had me so calm that I just knew it would all be taken care of down to what i'm using for our Gifts and envelopes. Not only did Howard make special dinners for my husband and father, the food there was A=MAZING and did not stop. After the cocktail hour people were rubbing their bellies with giant smiles on their faces....THEN the apps, and salad and main course aaaaaaaaand dessert. The venue was beautiful. As simple or extravagant as you want it to be. The View was breathtaking...I have ZERO complaints only that the night ended. I hope to be back to the view as an invited guest to a wedding ASAP so I get to see from the OTHER END all the amazing things all my friends and family raved about!!!! THANK YOU HOWARD!!!!

Our daughter's wedding reception surpassed our expectations...it was wonderful.
Howard had everything running smoothly - the staff was efficient and unobtrusive, the room looked beautiful, the cocktail hour was amazing and the dinner was perfect

I had my wedding at The View on the Hudson this past Sunday. They put on a beautiful wedding and their venue has a gorgeous view of the Hudson river. Ralph was our Maitre’D. He has a ton of experience with planning weddings and everything went off without a hitch. We also hired a day-of coordinator, but that was a pretty redundant service because Ralph really had everything under control. The food was excellent and there was a ton of it. I especially liked the wedding cake and baked apple dessert. I have rarely eaten wedding cakes that taste so moist and good. I imagine that this venue is optimal for couples who want a very well run event at an all-inclusive venue, rather than DIYers. Also, I think that the venue is better for people who want to do minimal planning, because Ralph and his staff have a certain rhythm and process they follow based on their experience of what works well. There were a couple of very minor requests I made, which slipped through the cracks, and it would have been more convenient if we could have done more of the communications by email, but all in all, Ralph and The View did an amazing job!
I think this venue is wonderful for any wedding where the bride and groom want a well executed ceremony and reception, and where the venue gives great service, great food and a great view. Job well done!

We were treated like the King & Queen, and ate like them! Our guests are still raving about the food and service! We would recommend The View for any upcoming weddings or events!!!

The venue is beautiful, if not slightly dated in some respects. Howard Vaz was amazing to work with and the whole experience was fabulous, one that we will treasure forever.

I want everyone to know about this place. Soup to nuts, it was perfect. From the initial planning to the night of. Howard was our "GM" and took care of everything. Don't let him frustrate you, he definitely knows what he is doing. We all have "visions", just like we did, of what the night should be like, Howard will ask why certain things are wanted and be very frank with you. He puts the couple ahead of the Venue.

The week of, Howard was very stern about bringing everything over early. "You are not to worry about anything here, I will worry about it", and he was a man of his word. The food was top notch and abundant. I had guests complaining that they couldn't get drunk because there was so much food. The venue has an awesome view of the Tappan Zee Bridge, unfortunately we picked a date that Irene visited. Due to weather we had to get married inside, people did not even blink. And the acoustic for a band was awesome.

That night, Howard and his manager were catering to everything. They really know how to run a show. I needed a drink he was there. After the ceremony and pictures he made sure we were eating.

The venue itself is a domed pavilion with a side room for cocktail hour and an open bar area. Some people may think the decor is outdated but I thought it was dated far back enough to add its own uniqueness to it, all personal preference.

The website does not give this place justice. Before you cross this place off the list you have to see it in person, it is located in a cute town with hotels only 8 minutes away.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you View on the Hudson

Look no further if you want a fabulous wedding!!! From start to finish Howard was amazing. He is knowledgeable and professional and will lead you through the process of wedding planning. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, photos were taken outside and are phenomenal. The ceremony was also outside and was equally as exquisite with the backdrop of the Hudson. The food was phenomenal and our guests are still talking about the fabulous selections, quality and variety of the menu. The View was beyond our wildest expectations!!!!

We had the night of our lives! The staff at The View was professional and made our wedding perfect. They took care of everything! No task was too big or small. Howard and Ralph took care of our guests and saw that every detail was taken care of before the wedding and after. We couldnt have ask for a better place to get married.

Everything was great here for my wedding in April 2011. The only thing I'd do differently is ask for a bar setup instead the reception room because too many guests were stationed at the bar, not on the dance floor (too far away). Views are lovely and Howard Vaz was amazing! He ran the whole show flawlessly.

The View highly exceeded my expectations and made our wedding day magical!

My best friend had been married at the View six years ago. I remember thinking the venue was beautiful, the view was amazing and the idea of only having ONE wedding at a time -- something rare to find in the tri-state area.

When it came time for my special day I was blown away by the level of service. Ralph helped us along the way and made us feel that any question or request was never to silly. My guests have raved about the food and level of service to this day. And my husband and I are still glowing from the warm reception we had.

We were married in March 2009. It was a day wedding and everything was amazing. We worked with Ralph and he took care of everything. The room was set up perfectly and their food options were very good. They provide a perfect cake so you do not need to spend more money. They basically ran the wedding, which was great since we did the wedding ourselves and could not be everywhere at once. We have only heard wonderful things from our guests. The view is amazing...I am a hudson valley girl, so this was perfect. The View provides guests with champagne and a strawberry, but my husband is allergic to strawberries. They substituted raspberries instead...that is how attentive they are.

Ralph and all the staff members there are really amazing and made our day even better than we could have imagined! They were so flexible, helpful, and just great people to work with! We would recommend anyone to have their event there! And we hope we get to go to another one there soon! :)

The View was the perfect location for our wedding... the food, service, atmosphere, etc. was everything my husband and I hoped it to be and more. I would recommend it to anyone
