Dream venue
Murray Hill and it’s owners far surpassed our dreams and expectations for a wedding venue! Everyone complimented us on the venue because the estate itself is so gorgeous and well kept. Peggy was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process and always responded immediately to our questions and requests. Susan was incredibly helpful the days of our wedding and rehearsal dinner and truly made our events perfect. They felt like family and I couldn’t have imagined a better venue or experience!

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Murray Hill and it was just amazing! Peggy and her husband were very accommodating and wonderful to work with. The venue is just breathtaking and all the guests were in awe of how gorgeous everything turned out. We even got to see a bald eagle flying around just before the ceremony. The views are spectacular. Highly recommend!
