About

Lyndhurst Castle is a remarkable wedding venue situated on sixty-seven acres of the widest part of the Hudson River in Tarrytown, New York. Lyndhurst is a magnificent venue for weddings and celebrations of all varieties and sizes. With the castle as your backdrop, the grounds, gardens, and individual venues can be conjoined or enjoyed separately for more intimate gatherings. Lyndhurst is one of 29 National Trust Historic Sites.

Facilities and Capacity

Lyndhurst is the ideal venue for dramatic, fairytale weddings large or small. From the moment your guests enter the estate they will be immersed in the beauty, history, and solitude of the property which is set on the widest part of the Hudson River, only thirty-five minutes from New York City and easily accessible from multiple transportation hubs. Whether your wedding is elegant and formal, or simple and rustic, Lyndhurst will make you feel like true royalty with the mansion as your backdrop and a variety of customizable event spaces and tenting areas. Their Carriage House is home to Lyndhurst’s semi-permanent tent, which hosts up to 300 guests with dinner and dancing. While this is our most traditional and commonly-used reception space, other opportunities for tented receptions exist throughout the property. Ceremonies can be held on the Great Lawn or in the Rose Garden. The mansion serves as the backdrop for your event and makes every moment more-than-picture perfect.

Services Offered

Lyndhurst is a full-service venue with event planning and in-house catering. The dedicated team of event staff will ensure that every element of your day is carefully considered and expertly executed. Couples who book the venue will be invited to make use of a number of event items, including tables, chairs, tents, and an impressive dance floor for their reception. Set-up and clean-up services will be provided, allowing you to relax and enjoy your event without worrying about the smaller details.

Simply amazing

I don’t even know where to begin with our wedding. Paul, Nicole, the bartenders and entire staff of Philip stone and Lyndhurst were so absolutely amazing. The praise from our family and friends including myself and my husband were unending. Lyndhurst was the wedding of my dreams, completely exceeded my expectations and truly a perfect day. And of course the food. Cocktail hour was gorgeous on the veranda, everything we got was so delicious and the meals themselves were huge portions well worth the money and delicious. I cant recommend Philip stone and Lyndhurst enough.

Charming Venue!

I fell in love with Lyndhurst at our first site visit. The castle is just exquisite. All of our guests could not believe how beautiful the grounds are. Phillip Stone Caterers did an amazing job with the menu. Big thanks to Paul, Tom, and Nicole for making it happen. This venue has a charm you will not find anywhere else!

So accommodating and understanding

Tara was amazing. She listened to all concerns, was willing to work with our schedule and help up achieve the wedding of our dreams. I cannot reccomend this place enough. So beautiful and the staff is beyond nice. And one of the best parts Tara works with you frolic day one and is your coordinator day of. She really learns who you are, what your vision is and makes it happen.

Fabulous Venue

We had our wedding at Lyndhurst this October 2019 and it was truly amazing. There are so many awesome things about Lyndhurst, starting with 1) The venue itself is gorgeous - you cannot beat watching the sunset over the Hudson from the mansion’s veranda during cocktail hour. We were able to take pictures inside the art gallery which was so special and felt like stepping back in time 2) The food is delicious and there are so many options! We got so many compliments about the food and the service - all the servers were super on top of things and very knowledgeable/accomodating with allergies. I wish that they had a restaurant so I could eat the food over and over again - seriously, it was that good 3) Tayla, the event and catering manager, is so awesome! She is so knowledgeable, communicative, and made the whole process so easy. We loved working with her and would do it all again in a heartbeat. This venue is truly magical and we had such an unforgettable celebration here.

Fairytale wedding

I highly recommend everyone at Lyndhurst, from planning to every detail they were there to answer every question. Every vendor we chose, they worked closely with and communicated with them so everything and everyone was on the same page. You can hire any vendor but the ones the recommended were AMAZING. Highly recommend Lyndhurst and the team there!

Rough start, but in the end it was amazing!

We initially booked Lyndhurst Mansion (who works exclusively with Philip Stone Caterers) in November 2016, almost two years before our wedding. Not going to lie, while our initial booking process was very smooth, we actually ended up seeing both our original venue coordinator and her replacement leave! It was pretty rough around the year-before-the-wedding mark when we were trying to get our second payment in.

However, third time is the charm. Brandon, who is currently the coordinator for Philip Stone at Lyndhurst, is absolutely amazing, and his team is equally awesome. Brandon is extremely responsive, and answered all of my emails very promptly and patiently (and he was definitely patient -- there were multiple days in the month before the wedding when I'd send multiple emails). He and his team are completely on top of things; our cocktail hour and reception went off without any issues, and they rolled with it when things like my entire extended family showing up two hours early happened.

Also, THE FOOD. Our guests raved about it. One of my friends dreams about the Meyer lemon puree in the sea bass entree. My big worry was that the food day of would not be as good as the tasting, but that turned out to be completely unfounded. My uncle that complains about literally everything even complimented it.

I do also want to mention my bridal attendant, Jeannie, who I didn't know I needed before the wedding, but ended up being my crutch throughout the day of; I don't know what I would've done without her.

In short, everything about our wedding at Lyndhurst was amazing. The mansion (so beautiful, and we loved the Halloween decor/scarecrows), the food/drinks, the Philip Stone team and their handling of logistics (seriously, I didn't have to worry about anything!), the servers (who we have a video of dancing to Whip/Nae Nae -- super cute!), everything. Thank you guys so much. :)

We had our wedding at Lyndhurst this August and it was amazing! The venue is beautiful on its own and Brandon helped to make sure everything was perfect. Leading up to the wedding he was able to meet with us a number of times, go over the details and answer any questions we had. He did his best to make sure we were happy. The day of the wedding he helped to make sure everything went off without a hitch. It was great!

Our June 2018 wedding at Lyndhurst was amazing and the best day of our lives!

We booked Lyndhurst a year and a half before our wedding. Between then and our wedding, the wedding coordinator changed. We met Brandon (the amazing and now permanent coordinator there!) about 5 months before our wedding.

We, and all of our guests, still can’t stop raving about the night! Brandon did an amazing job of running the night and making sure everything went so smoothly. He is very type A and has everything perfectly under control. He has a great team, including the most amazing bridal attendant, and runs a tight ship. He also did a great job of coordinating with all of our vendors. We did not have an additional wedding planner, and you absolutely do not need one with Brandon there.

The venue is really so special and unlike any other. We had our ceremony outdoor in the front lawn and the cocktail hour outdoor on the wrap around porch with amazing views of the Hudson River. Then, we had our reception in the permanent tent, which is beautiful. Do note that in the summertime, you will want to make sure that you get A/C added to the tent- we made this decision the day before and couldn’t imagine without it.

The food at Lyndhurst was delicious. The presentation and taste of everything was better than most weddings we have ever been to. Phillip Stone Catering does not disappoint and it was nice to not have to worry about if our guests would like the food. They were also very accommodating with all our requests and we got to even create one of our main dishes. The alcohol was a pretty standard package, but one thing that stood out was the choice of a speciality cocktails. While we have seen this feature at many weddings, the cocktails that Brandon created were truly above and beyond (we did a cucumber basil vodka drink!).

Thank you to the entire Lyndhurst team for an incredible evening!

We held my daughter's wedding reception at Lyndhurst at the end of May 2018. It could not have been more beautiful, and the food (catered by Philip Stone Caterers) was -- by far -- the best I have had at any wedding. Many of our guests commented on how good the food was and how professional and accommodating the service was.

The cocktail reception on the porch of the mansion and on the lawn running down to the Hudson River was stunning; and the tent, carriage house, and patio provided a comfortable and beautiful location for dinner, gathering and dancing.

If I had another wedding to plan, I would definitely have it at Lyndhurst.
