Incredible venue for Indian fusion wedding

It was a pleasure to host our Indian fusion wedding at Diamond Mills. Managing an Indian wedding is no easy feat, however Brianne and Stephanie coordinated the most beautiful wedding. Our guest still talk about it to this day. The outdoor terrace with the waterfall background provided a romantic and rustic feel for our ceremony. The facilities is absolutely beautiful and the staff was very professional. It was truly the best day of our lives!! Thank you Brianne and Stephanie!

Amazing Wedding Venue

We loved having our wedding here at Diamond Mills Hotel! The venue is so BEAUTIFUL, and the staff is wonderful to work with. My husband and I also loved exploring Saugerties! Planning a wedding in two months was challenging, but booking Diamond Mills for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! We loved working with Stephanie, Carrie, and Brianne. They are highly organized and professional. Our wedding day was truly magical! Our guests had a wonderful time! We also really appreciate how the staff working on the day of our wedding ensured that my husband and I ate well (and remembered to eat as we interacted with our guests). The food served was delicious and we loved our wedding cake! Another great thing about booking the wedding at Diamond Mills is that the hotel is attached to the wedding venue - it was very convenient for us and our guests! We received a good discount for our hotel block. The wedding package they offer at Diamond Mills Hotel is truly well-rounded! Beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, catering, open bar, wedding cake, and supportive and amazing staff to help you plan your wedding and ensure that everything runs smoothly during the day of the wedding all for a reasonable price! I used some rental decorations, and the staff made sure to carefully pack everything at the end of the night, so shipping and packing up the following day was easy! We highly recommend Diamond Mills!

Wonderful Venue and Amazing Staff

I can only say positive things about Brianne, Kelsey and the Diamond Mills team. Thank you for making our wedding a night to remember. Everything flowed so smoothly and the staff were very kind and professional. We were so relieved knowing the Diamond Mills was an all-inclusive venue and the food was delicious. It was a bonus that we were able to rent out the top rooms to host our Tea Ceremony prior to our ceremony/reception. For our ceremony and reception, we chose the ballroom, and our guests were shocked when they walked out onto the patio for our ceremony to see a waterfall. Thank you Diamond Mills for making our night run so smoothly and making my wedding vision come true!

The Diamond Mills was great to work with!

We had our wedding in June at the Saugerties Steamboat Co. location and it was everything we could have wanted. Brienne and Klaudia were fantastic to work with and were with us every step of the way, helping us to organize, plan and execute our wedding. The venue itself was was gorgeous and when some rain changed course right before our wedding, the Diamond Mills team was supremely efficient at getting everything and everyone moved inside for our ceremony (the team is seriously great at executing a rain plan). In addition, the culinary team at Blackbarn knocked our socks off, and were very accommodating with some of the requests we had to make for guests’ dietary restrictions. All-in-all, we’re so happy we got married here and will treasure those memories forever.

Amazing!

I truly cannot put into words just how amazing Diamond Mills is!! From start to finish Brianne & her entire team, along with the Blackbarn staff went above and beyond to make our wedding special. Brianne has a gift for what she does and no matter the question, she always had an answer or knew exactly where to go to find it. You have the flexibility of different options within the venue to pick from for your wedding and we went with Blackbarn for our reception, best decision! The space is so customizable and it allowed us to transform it into the wedding of our dreams. 100000% recommend!!!!

Loved Every Minute

Brianne, Klaudia and the entire staff at Diamond Mills was fantastic! Brianne and Klaudia helped make our day the most memorable! We got married outside at Steamboat in July (thankful for the sunny weather) and their attention to detail helped make our wedding unforgettable. From service to the setup, decor and food - it was all perfect

Take us back!!

We had such a memorable day for our wedding and Diamond Mills was a big reason why! We planned our entire wedding (200 people) in all of three months and Brianne worked so closely with us from start to finish to make sure the day was perfect. She was very responsive, consultative when we needed advice, and quick to action. We got married in the ballroom and it was a beautiful venue. The food was also excellent. It was way above what you would expect for a wedding and all of our guests had nothing but positive things to say. They loved it! We would highly recommend Diamond Mills to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!

5 Stars Across the Board!

The staff, especially Brianne and Kelsey, were absolutely fantastic to work with. From day one with each of them it was evident that they are pros in their field and know what needs to be done and how to do it. It was wonderful to work with them and watch the conversations we'd had discussing what we envisioned come to life before our eyes on our special day.
The day as a whole was perfect, I wouldn't change a thing, and a big part of that was Diamond Mills. It started with the wedding parties getting ready there before going to the location of the ceremony (off premises). It was a beautiful foggy morning and with the waterfall outside it felt and looked straight out of a fairytale. The getting ready pictures came out beautifully in both rooms upstairs and the first look photos with my family on the deck of the ballroom are some of my (bride) personal favorites from the day.
The food was amazing! The staff and space were exquisite and it all felt so lovely leading up to and the whole of the special day. Once the day began we didn't have to worry about anything, Brianne and Kelsey and their staff took care of everything. From the band getting set, the cake being delivered, to everything in between. If anything went wrong we weren't privy to it as everything seemed to go on without a hitch.
The unveiling of the reception area after cocktail hour was completed was such a magical touch. The windows and deck were crowd favorites. Our guests have commented time and time again since that day, that it was the most fun reception at one of the most beautiful venues they'd ever been too. We couldn't agree more and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a space. They do a beautiful and professional job that results in being able to enjoy your special event without any outside concerns.
We are looking very forward to visiting on our one year anniversary and reliving the magic as much as we can.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
