The Thayer Hotel at West Point

As an Army veteran and football season ticketholder, I've been coming to West Point for many years. So when it was time for my fiance and I to start planning our wedding, we knew that it had to be at the Thayer.

From the minute we started the planning process, we knew that we made the right choice. All the staff involved in making our day special were amazing.

From Melissa our sales manager, Chef Chris, Talia and Tiffany our Maitre D's, to our awesome bartender Daphne they made our day perfect.

The hotel itself is iconic and full of history and heritage, it made the perfect setting for a wedding celebration. It's castle like appearance with commanding and breathtaking views made for an absolutely stunning backdrop. The ability to take photos at Trophy Point, the cadet chapel and south dock train station made it an even better experience.

The cocktail hour was amazing, and Talia ensured that we had enough to eat in the privacy of an ensuite area while we decompressed from the ceremony before joining our guests for our reception.

The food was top notch and perfectly prepared, a testament to the Chef and his skilled team. The event spaces were set up to perfection and the wait staff and other bartenders were skilled, and efficient.

The after party at Zulu on the rooftop was the finishing touch on our perfect day.

If you're looking for the fairytale wedding location, definitely don't hesitate to checkout the Thayer.

Our wedding at The Historic Thayer Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way: truly the best day of our lives. It was magical and perfect. We had multiple guests tell us that this was the best wedding, with the best food, that they had ever attended. All of our servers and bartenders were incredible, everyone attending to our wedding made it feel like we were the only event happening on West Point. Our maitre d’ (Talia) could not have been more thoughtful, kind, and attentive: every detail that we had shared with Casey was executed with precision.

We had our wedding at the Cadet Chapel and arranged for our guests (who opted into it) to take a West Point Tour between the ceremony and the reception, and then dropped them back to the hotel.

Our Cocktail hour was on the back lawn, the Pershing Patio, and in the Pershing Room. The Thayer Hotel’s Banquet Team ensured that our custom made signage (we provided the stands as well) were put in locations that helped direct our guests, and the setup of the cocktail hour with The Hotel's beautiful gold champagne shelf next to our seating chart, was a fabulous way to ensure that our guests could quickly grab some champagne while looking at the chart.

Our Reception was in the Washington Ballroom, and with the gorgeous sweeping view of the river, indoor-outdoor access, we felt like we were in a fairytale wedding surrounded by our friends, family, and a team of wedding professionals who truly cared about us and our guests. We made it a whole wedding weekend, the Rehearsal Dinner was scheduled to be on Zulu Time (it rained out, so it was moved inside to a rain back-up location), we had a bridal breakfast in the Eisenhower Bridal Suite as the bridesmaids got ready, while our guests enjoyed breakfast on their own in MacArthur’s Riverview Restaurant, and then even after the wedding, our guests continued the party at Zulu Time. We were able to directly link our private hotel room block to our wedding website, and could manage and track the reservations with our special login.

From the event coordination, room reservations, to valet, check-in, to housekeeping, several incredible culinary experiences over the weekend, and the most attentive day-of wedding professionals, our wedding, and wedding weekend, was perfect. Our wedding was a dream come true at The Thayer Hotel. Our wedding was made extra special by these amazing humans who cared about our wedding like it was for one of their own family members: Casey, Talia, Alison, Jennifer, Marie, Diane, Juliette, Jamal, Victor, Chris, Samantha, Daphne, Jeff, Dan, Victor the bartender, Rosa, Chris, Ginoh, Anne and Erin. 

The Thayer hotel was the perfect venue for our 20th year wedding anniversary vow re-dedication. The setting was a serene, pristine location overlooking the Hudson river creating the perfect backdrop for a romantic entanglement. The staff were absolutely amazing, professional, and highly knowledgeable. Kyleigh the venue wedding coordinator, and Aaron our Maître D made sure everything went according to what we had envisioned and planned making our wedding a day to remember. Our guests had a great and enjoyable time, and expressed how picture perfect everything turned out from the ceremony, to the reception, the ballroom, and the most succulent steak they ever had. This was an unforgettable experience, It went even better than I ever expected. Thank you for making my day so special.

We honestly don't even know where to begin. Our experience with The Thayer at West Point was simply amazing. From the initial visiting of the venue, to our booking, food tasting, organization, and obviously how beautiful and organized the day of our wedding was. Casey Butler was absolutely fantastic. She was our primary contact throughout our year process. She helped make sure all the information we were giving out was being received and passed on to the venue. The days leading up to our wedding was obviously stressful, and as we got closer, she assigned us our maitre'd, Aaron. Aaron was also amazing. He spoke with us a couple weeks before the wedding to ease our stress, and he stayed in constant contact with us leading up to our big weekend. From arriving at the venue, making sure our rehearsal, and rehearsal dinner was properly organized, to the morning and night of our wedding, he made sure everything was taken care of. He was in non-stop communication with both of us the day of, and continued to check in with us throughout our night, giving us everything we needed. We had gotten wedding pictures done at trophy point on base, and he even drove us, and escorted us on base with no issues at all. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a beautiful and amazing wedding. We truly felt cared for like we were their own family. Thank you so much again to Casey and Aaron for helping our dream day come true!!

We could not have been happier with our wedding experience at the Thayer Hotel. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and incredible attention to detail. Melissa, our Catering Manager, was absolutely outstanding — extremely conscientious, highly organized, and an exceptional communicator throughout the entire process. She made what could have been a stressful experience – especially since we were out of state - feel seamless and enjoyable.

The Thayer itself is a truly beautiful and historic venue, and it created the perfect backdrop for our wedding weekend. The service was wonderful across the board, and the food exceeded expectations for both us and our guests.

One of the things we appreciated most was how flawlessly the Thayer team coordinated with all of our outside vendors, including transportation buses, gift bag delivery, the band, and photography. Everything ran smoothly because of their careful planning and execution.

We are so grateful to Melissa and the entire Thayer team for helping create such a memorable and special celebration. We would highly recommend the Thayer Hotel to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding venue.

We felt that the Thayer was a great venue for our wedding, and we couldn’t have had a better experience start to finish. The wedding expo’s that they offer were a big help in giving us a better idea of what to expect going forward. From picking the right room within the Thayer for our ceremony, to the menu tasting, we really felt that the Thayer did a great job. Staff on the day of were attentive, and made our wedding day as smooth as possible!

We had our wedding at the Thayer in April 2026, and it was an incredibly seamless process from start to finish. Heather was our coordinator at the venue, and she was so warm and helpful. We had multiple phone check-ins along the way, and she always made sure to clarify any details with me based on the information I provided to ensure they had everything how we wanted. 
When it came to the wedding weekend, Aaron was assigned as our maître d’ and we cannot say enough great things about him! Even guests and family members were commenting on how wonderful he was. From the moment we arrived for the rehearsal dinner, he made us feel so well taken care of and his calm sense of confidence really helped us to relax and enjoy ourselves. The ceremony and reception went off without a hitch; the food was delicious and the servers were very attentive. Everyone says something is bound to go wrong on your wedding day, but thanks to the staff - especially Aaron and Heather - we really had the perfect day with no issues. If I had to go back and do it all again, I would choose them!

We had our daughter’s wedding at the Thayer Hotel, and from the very first visit through the very end of the night, it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I had never planned anything even close to this size before, so I honestly had no idea where to begin, but their team made everything feel manageable and walked us through every step. From choosing the menu and reserving rooms to tastings and even helping connect us with the bakery, they made the entire process feel easy.

On the day of the wedding, everything was set up perfectly. I truly did not have to do a thing. I walked in feeling like a guest and was able to relax and enjoy the evening, which was such a gift. The food was delicious, the bar was well stocked, and the maître d’ was incredible, attentive, professional, and on top of every detail.

At the end of the night, the staff even helped me pack up the car, which was so appreciated after such a big and emotional day. It was a magical evening, and my daughter and new son-in-law had the wedding they had dreamed of. I highly, highly, highly recommend the Thayer Hotel and its wonderful staff.

My husband and I picked The Thayer Hotel for it's beautiful location on the Hudson River. We knew we wanted to get married in the fall and wanted an outdoor wedding. The Thayer had the best of both worlds. Catering on premises, day of coordinator so we didn't have to stress, professional staff, and amazing scenic views for our pictures. We cannot thank the staff of the Thayer Hotel for making our wedding special. We've been married for 2 years already and we just recently went back to celebrate our anniversary there. It will always be a special place.

The Thayer hotel was an absolute dream. We worked with Melissa and she delivered on every promise. From working with us on picking the ballroom, to all the small details, everything came out perfect. The hotel staff and wait staff were all amazing and we had the most incredible view for pictures at West Point. Highly recommend!
