Best venue ever

The most magical venue that exceeded all of our dreams for the perfect night. We tied the knot at Tappan Hill Mansion a little over a month ago and we can’t stop talking about it. This place is special – it’s charming, it’s elegant, it’s cozy and it’s timeless. Tappan Hill has so much personality and made us feel like we were home the second we walked in, and sure enough we walked out with a contract in hand. The food at Tappan Hill is truly like no other. The attention to detail, peoples allergies or restrictions, and the quality was above par. Every single bite we had was better than the next. Every step of the way the team at Tappan Hill is there to answer all of your questions, and requests, no matter how many times you’ve phrased it or how wild your request is. No idea was off limits or too crazy for them to execute and the team does everything they can to make sure that the couple has the best night. Caitlin was a joy to work with and quick to respond during the booking & planning process. Vanessa was an absolute powerhouse, no detail was left unturned, and her organization was flawless. She was such a brightness on our wedding day and we are so thankful she was there to run the day and think of all the logistics so we could just enjoy it. Our bridal attendant, Katelyn, was phenomenal, ensuring I (the bride) was catered to at every moment during the getting ready, and when it came time for ceremony & pictures, she was right there when I turned to need something. We can’t thank the Tappan Hill staff enough for putting their best foot forward so we could have our special day. It was the best venue, best food, and best staff. Can’t recommend enough!

Qualified bitcoin/eth/usdt recovery expert contact> hack buster recovery.

I’m from the fictional town of Elmsworth. After investing AU$200,000 in Cardano through ProTrade Solutions, I experienced a remarkable surge in my investment. The value of my holdings skyrocketed to AU$360,000 in just a matter of weeks. It was an exhilarating time, filled with dreams of what I could do with my newfound wealth. However, that excitement quickly turned into frustration and anxiety when I attempted to withdraw my funds, only to have my requests rejected repeatedly. I thought it might just be a temporary glitch. I contacted ProTrade Solutions, expecting swift assistance, but instead, I faced long wait times and vague responses. Each day that passed without resolution added to my growing concern. I was left in the dark, feeling helpless as my investment remained locked away, out of reach. Desperate for help, I began researching potential solutions. I stumbled upon various forums where other investors shared similar experiences with ProTrade Solutions. Many had faced withdrawal issues, and some even suggested that it might be a scam. This realization hit me hard; I wasn’t just dealing with a technical issue, but potentially losing my entire investment to a fraudulent platform. Amidst my growing anxiety, I found a beacon of hope: Hack Buster Recovery. I read numerous testimonials praising their expertise in recovering funds from online scams. Intrigued yet skeptical, I decided to reach out. The team at Hack Buster Recovery promptly responded, guiding me through the initial steps. Their knowledge and professionalism reassured me. They detailed their recovery process, explaining how they work with legal and financial experts to trace and retrieve lost funds.The commitment of Hack Buster Recovery was evident from the start. They kept me informed at every step, providing updates on the progress of my claim. I felt a renewed sense of hope as I watched their team navigate the complex world of online recovery. Their transparency made it clear that I was in capable hands. After weeks of diligent work, the moment finally arrived. I received the good news: my investment was successfully recovered.

Best, best, best!

We can't say enough good things about Tappan Hill. The team was absolutely exceptional and made our wedding day run so smoothly. There is literally so much I could say but I will try to focus on some of the highlights: 
- Our event coordinator (John Glovack) was an absolute godsend. From the moment we met him two months out from our wedding we knew we'd hit the jackpot. He was positive, organized, flexible and RESPONSIVE. On the days when he was working we never went more than a few hours before we heard a reply from him. He kept track of all of our requests (food, timeline etc.) and never asked the same question twice. I don't know how he does it, but he was a huge help in the final weeks to work though all the nuances and questions from our other vendors!
- The day-of bridal attendant (Marleny) was also fantastic. For example, we arrived at the venue with multiple boxes filled with all kinds of decor. Instead of having to micro-manage and direct her on where everything should go, she was able to make some educated guesses and figure out 95% of it by herself. Periodically as I was getting ready she would come back and show me photos of where she had set things up, and I truly had no notes! She was also so helpful throughout the day (brought me water before I asked for it, helped us stay on schedule, bustled my dress after the ceremony etc.) - allowing my bridesmaids and I to be as relaxed as possible! At the end of the night, she also helped make sure all of our stuff was packed up and ready to leave, saving me the headache of trying to run around and corral everything. 
- Our wedding ran like a well oiled machine. The staff is so good and the service was extremely prompt. No one was ever waiting in a line for a drink, or sitting at their table wondering where their food was! 
- Speaking of the food, the food here was amazing! From our cocktail hour through to our afterparty, all of our guests commented on how delicious everything was. Not something you always get to say with wedding food to begin with, but the food here is absolutely restaurant quality! 
If we had the chance to do it all over again we would pick Tappan Hill in a heartbeat. We are so grateful for John, Marleny and the whole team for making the wedding of our dreams a reality!
