Have your wedding here!!

We had our late summer wedding at Historic Tuckahoe and it was perfection. Holt and her event team were a pleasure to work with and are all so wonderful. They were responsive and attentive over email, also flexible when we were busy and couldn't get back to them immediately. They accommodated our 200-person guest list and could easily handle a party of much more or much less.

The grounds are stunning and were well manicured, particularly the garden area where we had our cocktail hour. We basically had the whole property the entire day and were able to set things up/drop things off in the few days leading up.

One downside was that the venue pretty much only includes the grounds (which were beautiful) and the tent (which was a giant luxurious sailcloth). Everything else including tables, chairs, linens, etc you need to bring in on your own through their preferred rental company. While this was definitely a big extra expense, it allowed us to fully customize our day and choose to spend as little or as much as we wanted on certain aspects.

We were able to save a lot in choosing our own catering (a local restaurant) and supplying our bar. They were flexible and accommodating to ours and our vendors' wants and needs always. Pretty much anything we asked, they said they could make it work. Truly a blank slate to make your wedding day your own. All night we had guests raving about how amazing the venue was!! We are so so happy that we got married here.
