Fairy tale setting in the Hudson
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.
Beautiful Wedding Reception
The Perfect Wedding venue
After signing the initial contract in October 2025 to our wedding day on October 18, 2026, each and every question was answered.
Our wedding coordinator Heather was easy to work with and always responded to my questions and followed up with any extra items we needed. Many of our guests stayed in the hotel over the weekend, Anne Kane and her staff handled and reviewed all the reservations (even catching some that booked multiple times in error.)
Our day of coordinator was Talia. I cannot say enough about her role in our day. She made sure that our day went perfectly! Our captain Rosa was with me in the morning and coordinated everything with ease. While all of the staff were wonderful - I had the initial pleasure of meeting our was bartender at our menu tasting. She made our signature drinks perfect and even sourced Huckleberries for the Huckleberry old fashioned cocktail.
Other notable staff that I would be remiss if I did not give them a shout out - Estephany from MacArthurs Riverview Restaurant - she did our tasting menu and then remembered us when we came back for dinner the night before the wedding.
Mike from valet services - made our weekend at the hotel easy. From getting all of our wedding Items to banquets, to getting the bride to her room and lastly assisting us in having easy access to our vehicles for our Saturday football tailgate.
Jacob the bar manager - he was aware that we would be using Pattons bar for some of our pictures, he made sure to check in to make sure all went as planned.
Overall all of the staff at the front desk were attentive to all of my guests.
Lastly - to the banquet staff and kitchen staff. The food and the service was amazing. Every single guest that I spoke to truly enjoyed the food, the drinks and the service.
Our florist was Greenery Plus in Monroe NY. David made my vision for my outdoor ceremony and reception perfect!
Our DJ - Matt from Hudson Valley event group (happens to be the hotels house DJ at Zulu) was phenomenal and was even seen twirling some of our guests on the dance floor.
And while I know that the West Point Group Sales is independent of the Thayer. Aiden was responsible for a seamless premium tailgate experience……and even checked on us to ensure everything was perfect.
Beautiful Wedding!
5 Stars Aren't Enough for Aaron and The Thayer Hotel Team!
Aaron was the absolute star of our wedding. He took complete charge of everything from the very beginning—handling every single detail long before the reception even started so we didn't have to worry about a thing. He anticipated our every need, kept the entire timeline running effortlessly on schedule, and made sure my partner and I actually got to sit down, relax, and eat our dinner.
The Thayer Hotel delivers a world-class experience, but Aaron's calm, polished, and attentive presence gave us complete peace of mind to just live in the moment and enjoy our day. We are so grateful to the whole team, and especially to Aaron, for making our dream wedding a reality!
Simple put… incredible!
Best weekend ever!

Piping is my profession. I've played bagpipes for many events at The Thater over the years. It's well catered, beautifully stuated overlooking the Hudson River. It's a part of American history being located in the USMA at West Pount, NY, where many world leaders have resided. A Beautiful and Historic setting for your Wedding.
The Thayer Hotel is a very nicely furnished and well presented hotel. The staff extremely helpful and any couples desiring to have a wonderfully and beautifully presented and expertly handled event you need to book your event with them... Kudos to management and staff!
