Best Experience!!

I was finally able to have my wedding after some Covid restrictions were lifted. I am so happy we chose Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel! I worked with Gina throughout my whole process and she was hands down an amazing person to deal with! I always felt welcomed! She answered every and all questions we had! The staff at PGH were so friendly and professional. They made my guest extremely happy and we are so thankful for everything! I had a vision of what I wanted and they delivered! Everything was beautiful and I wish I could relive it all! Thank you so much!!

Loved my wedding here!

My husband was very set on having the wedding here as he used to work at the Grand Hotel. I forced him to look at other venues, but in the end we decided upon the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel. We met with Gina, who was with us through the whole wedding planning process and I couldn't be happier that she was there for us! Gina helped to make the stress of planning a wedding less stressful!

Our ceremony was here as well and everything went off without a hitch! The ballroom was gorgeous and everything was set up the way I would have set it up myself. TO be honest I did not have high expectations for the food.....I had many of my guests comment on how good the food was at the wedding and I must agree it was wonderful! The Grand gave my husband and I the wedding we had envisioned and we truly could not be happier.

I cannot thank Gina, Maureen, Laura, Michelle, and the staff at the Grand Hotel for everything they did for my husband and I. Thank you!

Great people and a great price

It is really difficult to beat the prices (and extras) that the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel offers. My husband and I loved having our wedding there. The people are great, the food is delicious, and plenty of space and options for all wedding sizes. The rooftop wedding ceremony was amazing and was one of the best added bonuses of choosing this venue (among many other things).

Best Night of my Life

After I got engaged, I looked around at different venues online and nothing compared to the Poughkeepsie grand. I worked with Gina from day 1 and she made sure everything was perfect!! What they include in their packages is beyond what most others include. Plus after the party, everyone can take an elevator ride right up to their rooms. It was nice to have that piece of mind knowing all those people weren’t driving home! I had the absolute best night of my life and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. They were simply amazing.

Fantastic Reception

Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel, aside from all the great perks and benefits of doing our wedding with them, was very easy to work with, extremely accommodating, communicative, and helpful. The food was both bountiful and delicious, and the staff were extremely responsive and attentive to not just us, but our guests as well. Location was easy for most people to get to and super nice having the hotel attached so at the end of our night we could roll right into bed. Particularly trying to plan a wedding remotely, the number of things included and tasks/decisions that PGH helped make, made doing our wedding a significantly less stressful and much more fun experience!

Best Venue!

They take care of you and help make your day perfect with every little detail. The day was amazing and I did not have to worry about a thing. What you get for the price is beyond reasonable. I would recommend this place to everyone! Michelle and the entire staff are incredible.

Wedding Venue

Great experience! Working with Michelle made our entire wedding process so easy. The staff was attentive and welcomed any special request my family and I made. Very convenient having the venue attached to the hotel and it also helps to prevent drinking/driving. All guest were happy to take a 30 second elevator ride to their room at the end of the night!

Excellent service, excellent wedding!

I cannot say enough about the EXCELLENT service we received for our wedding last week! Michelle, our wedding coordinator, went above and beyond this past 10 months while we planned our big day with her! Every email or call I placed to her was answered immediately and she was always happy to assist with any questions I had, no matter how big or small the issue was! On our wedding day, Michelle was there and made sure everything started out the way I wanted it. After her, maitre'd Emily and our head table server Freddy, took over the show and not only guided us through everything, but made sure we always had food and drinks at our table! We also were allowed to view our party room before all of our guests did. They decorated everything EXACTLY how I wanted it! I didn't have to change a thing. Everyone at the Grand had professional attitudes and everything was SO organized. The food was EXCELLENT, nothing we ordered on our menu was a disappointment! We had 180 guests and the pricing was VERY reasonable compared to other local venues. At the end of the night, Emily and Freddy packaged all of our belongings (and extra food from dinner and cocktail hour!) and brought it up to our honeymoon suite to us. We had enough leftovers for 4 days after the wedding. Our guests raved about everything and they are still talking about our day. Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel, thank you SO much for taking such great care of us on our wedding day!!! If you are looking for EXCELLENT service and to be treated right, this is the place to go!!!

Beautiful Wedding ceremony and Reception

We were married at The Poughkeepsie Grand recently. The Poughkeepsie Grand offers a great deal that includes a block of rooms for your overnight guests. Our Wedding Coordinator was extremely helpful and was always available for any questions that I may have had. We held our ceremony there which was followed by the reception. The ceremony was held outside which they did a very nice job of and the reception was held afterward. The food was very good at the reception. All of my guests enjoyed the service and the food . The wait staff and bartenders were extremely attentive to the Bride and Groom as well as our guests. If you are looking for a beautiful setting at an affordable price to hold your wedding, I would highly recommend the Poughkeepsie Grand
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
