Great Planner

We got married on our property on 9/14/24 and hired Hudson Valley Ceremonies,and worked with Sandra. We can not say enough great things about Sandra! From the very beginning she was attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a ton of questions about everything related to the wedding with the added complexity of hosting it on our property. She helped us narrow down vendors, worked out our vision and flawlessly execute our wedding. Besides always being available to us before the wedding, her and Mary did an amazing job the day of. We really couldn’t have done it without her. Thanks again!

A Wonderful Wedding Planner and On Site Team!

We were married at City Winery Hudson Valley on 9/30/23 and are thrilled we decided to work with Hudson Valley Ceremonies for our big day! Sandra O'Connell was wonderful to work with - from the very beginning she helped me narrow down which vendors to work with - all of whom were incredible industry professionals - and she was always there for any question I needed clarity on. On our actual wedding day her and her assistant Mary were on site from the early morning through to the end of our reception - and the day could not have gone smoother. It was so comforting to have them coordinating with our vendors and the venue throughout the day - there wasn't one question I needed to answer because they were so on top of it - so I truly got to focus on the excitement of the day instead of the logistics. There were a couple items that were brought to my attention throughout the night, and Sandra was always right there to swoop in and help correct. Also the little very important things like gathering all of our cards and personal items before the night was over and bringing back to the bridal suite - I never would have had the capacity to do it all. Thank you so much!!

Working with Stefanie was 10/10!

We got married at the Senate Garage this past September. We hired HVC to assist us with day-of coordination and planning. We were so lucky to work with Stefanie. Stefanie is truly one of the kindest, most empathetic people we have ever met. In addition to that, she is extremely professional, organized and detail-oriented. All of our email correspondence was incredibly detailed and she truly thought of everything. She was always open to having phone calls to run through things if needed.
The week leading up to our wedding was extremely hectic and Stefanie effortlessly took the lead to ensure everything would go smoothly. She truly cared for us as if we had been friends for our whole life.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Stefanie and Renee oversaw the execution of our rain plan and made sure we had the wedding day we envisioned. When we forgot our cake knife, they even ran out and bought us a new one. There are no words to express how grateful we are to have had Stefanie and HVC apart of our day. We would recommend her to anyone 1000X over!!
