My husband and I were lucky enough to book Erlowest as our wedding venue this September and I can’t say enough positive things about it! It was truly the best day of our lives thanks to the lovely staff at Erlowest. The food was out of this world delicious and the service/accommodations left nothing to be desired. Every single person there was so kind and helpful. The venue itself is beyond gorgeous. Leanna and Molly specifically made sure I had absolutely no worries on our big day. We had many tough critics at our wedding and SEVERAL guests reached out to note that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! I feel so lucky to have been able to get married here and you will not regret booking it for your special day!

The Altamont Manor is one of those places that wraps you with the warmth and nostalgia of times long ago. Stepping onto the grounds feels like a journey back to an era of gentility and grace. As someone who was privileged to work here when it was renowned for fine dining, I was moved to see that it is now an impeccable wedding venue.  Restoring a treasure like Altamont Manor while preserving its rich history and maintaining its character is incredibly difficult. It has been done meticulously and with great care. The wrap around porch with the dramatic arched entry, and the gardens of iris and hydrangeas providing the backdrop for once in a lifetime photographs, the views for miles and the gentility of another era all come together as a place where memories are cherished and new ones are lovingly crafted.

The Mansion of Saratoga was an absolute dream! We got married in August and although it was a very hot day, we were having so much fun we barely noticed how hot it was after a while. From the planning stages with Lori, to the custom menu creation with Chef Rick, and all the other details and finalization with coordinators Rachel and Caitlyn, we couldn’t have asked for a better team. Wedding planning can be super stressful, but their communication and planning documents made it a lot less overwhelming. The guests (and us) RAVED about the food. Every single piece of food from cocktail hour to dinner to dessert was freaking amazing. And the fact that you can create your own menu? We were sold. And the venue is beautiful! In the summer the flowers were in full bloom and the greenery was stunning. It’s like no other venue we’ve been to, it’s not a classic banquet hall or ballroom, it feels like you’re in four different venues all in one (ceremony pond, garden, deck, barn). Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique venue and wants to make sure the food is top notch!

A Private Estate was the perfect canvas for the wedding of our dreams! The space allowed for us to bring in the best vendors in Hudson Valley to bring out vision to life perfectly. Each vendor worked together seamlessly and loved working with Jack and Ripley. The day went off without a hitch, we couldn't be happier!

What can't I say about this place! Firstly, we had a wonderful planning experience, we felt completely taken care of and listened to. All of our questions were answered, all our thoughts were honored. And all our dreams and ideas came to life to create an absolutely perfect wedding day and experience! This venue has some seriously wonderful staff, shoutouts to Shana, Leslie, Maki, and Reegan. It also has a lot of its own elegance and beauty and doesn't even need much dressing up or decoration! It truly is an all-inclusive venue that thinks of everything needed to create amazing events day after day. Some highlights that would make us recommend this to anyone are its historic charm, its hidden bar room, its attached inn (and gorgeous rooms), and genuinely the most gorgeous chandelier that makes for the absolute best photos!!

Brian was super easy to work with and was more than accommodating with our wedding. Helped us with anything we needed and made our special day perfect. Beautiful place and good vibes. Will post pictures when we get them.

The castle is such a beautiful work of art on gorgeous property. All of our guests were taken aback by the castle and said our wedding was like a fairytale.

My now-husband and I wanted to have the wedding in a place that is both beautiful and would accommodate both our families. We reached out to Laurie who had offered to show us the property and to discuss the estimated cost of the event. After visiting the estate about a year before our wedding, we were blown away and knew this was IT! We shared with Laurie what our vision was and she connected us with the right people. Any hiccup or concern we had over the ten months, Laurie was just a phone call away. She would also send follow up email with any updates or important details to help ease our concerns. Fast forward to the weekend of the wedding; there were about twenty of us including children, staying at the house and every room was prepared perfectly. There was a comfortable bed for everyone to sleep in and the house was big enough to have their own space but warm enough to bond with the inlaws. When we arrived a bouquet, chocolate, welcomed us throughout the house as well as a note to congratulate us! These small details and the chocolate lessened the stress of a chaotic weekend. On the day of the wedding, the staff helped guide the guests, made sure my husband and I ate and enjoyed ourselves. They helped make our wedding a success. Our family and friends still compliment us on the venue and tell us what a blast they had at our wedding! *Note: The bride was a college student who was going through finals three weeks before tying the knot. Pros: Location was stunning Staff - Incredibly helpful! Amanda came in with the save Strong communication Cons: We took too long to let Laurie know so our first date was already taken.

Five Stars. Kudos to Jack's whom delivered excellent service, food and ambiance. The event manager did an outstanding job to make sure everything was perfect for our son's rehearsal dinner. Bill and Glenn, our servers - no words can describe what an incredible job they did for a our dinner party of 21 (plus 3 children). All I can say is WOW and thank you!

I can't say how amazing this place is! The property is BEAUTIFUL. Not only is there a large waterfall in the front, in the back of the property there is a small little hidden waterfall that made for some breathtaking pictures. Linda and Hugh are so sweet, and made my wedding absolutely amazing. They worked tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect in the days, and down to the minutes before my wedding. We stayed for 2 days before the wedding and the night of, and they were so accommodating to myself and all of my guests. They treated my husband and I like family, we can't wait to visit again!
