    Incredible venue for Indian fusion wedding

    It was a pleasure to host our Indian fusion wedding at Diamond Mills. Managing an Indian wedding is no easy feat, however Brianne and Stephanie coordinated the most beautiful wedding. Our guest still talk about it to this day. The outdoor terrace with the waterfall background provided a romantic and rustic feel for our ceremony. The facilities is absolutely beautiful and the staff was very professional. It was truly the best day of our lives!! Thank you Brianne and Stephanie!

    Diamond Mills for your Dream Wedding

    Diamond Mills is an absolutely beautiful venue and the staff did an excellent job guiding us through the wedding planning process.

They assisted us with organizing our ideas and were extremely efficient at answering questions and inquiries as we approached our wedding day. Our guests were also impressed with the professionalism of the service staff and thoroughly enjoyed the wide array of delicious food and beverage options. Diamond Mills provided the background for a truly unforgettable wedding experience and we can't thank them enough for making our big day beyond memorable.

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    We loved having our wedding here at Diamond Mills Hotel! The venue is so BEAUTIFUL, and the staff is wonderful to work with. My husband and I also loved exploring Saugerties! Planning a wedding in two months was challenging, but booking Diamond Mills for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! We loved working with Stephanie, Carrie, and Brianne. They are highly organized and professional. Our wedding day was truly magical! Our guests had a wonderful time! We also really appreciate how the staff working on the day of our wedding ensured that my husband and I ate well (and remembered to eat as we interacted with our guests). The food served was delicious and we loved our wedding cake! Another great thing about booking the wedding at Diamond Mills is that the hotel is attached to the wedding venue - it was very convenient for us and our guests! We received a good discount for our hotel block. The wedding package they offer at Diamond Mills Hotel is truly well-rounded! Beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, catering, open bar, wedding cake, and supportive and amazing staff to help you plan your wedding and ensure that everything runs smoothly during the day of the wedding all for a reasonable price! I used some rental decorations, and the staff made sure to carefully pack everything at the end of the night, so shipping and packing up the following day was easy! We highly recommend Diamond Mills!

    Wonderful Venue and Amazing Staff

    I can only say positive things about Brianne, Kelsey and the Diamond Mills team. Thank you for making our wedding a night to remember. Everything flowed so smoothly and the staff were very kind and professional. We were so relieved knowing the Diamond Mills was an all-inclusive venue and the food was delicious. It was a bonus that we were able to rent out the top rooms to host our Tea Ceremony prior to our ceremony/reception. For our ceremony and reception, we chose the ballroom, and our guests were shocked when they walked out onto the patio for our ceremony to see a waterfall. Thank you Diamond Mills for making our night run so smoothly and making my wedding vision come true!

    The Diamond Mills was great to work with!

    We had our wedding in June at the Saugerties Steamboat Co. location and it was everything we could have wanted. Brienne and Klaudia were fantastic to work with and were with us every step of the way, helping us to organize, plan and execute our wedding. The venue itself was was gorgeous and when some rain changed course right before our wedding, the Diamond Mills team was supremely efficient at getting everything and everyone moved inside for our ceremony (the team is seriously great at executing a rain plan). In addition, the culinary team at Blackbarn knocked our socks off, and were very accommodating with some of the requests we had to make for guests’ dietary restrictions. All-in-all, we’re so happy we got married here and will treasure those memories forever.

    Amazing!

    I truly cannot put into words just how amazing Diamond Mills is!! From start to finish Brianne & her entire team, along with the Blackbarn staff went above and beyond to make our wedding special. Brianne has a gift for what she does and no matter the question, she always had an answer or knew exactly where to go to find it. You have the flexibility of different options within the venue to pick from for your wedding and we went with Blackbarn for our reception, best decision! The space is so customizable and it allowed us to transform it into the wedding of our dreams. 100000% recommend!!!!

    Loved Every Minute

    Brianne, Klaudia and the entire staff at Diamond Mills was fantastic! Brianne and Klaudia helped make our day the most memorable! We got married outside at Steamboat in July (thankful for the sunny weather) and their attention to detail helped make our wedding unforgettable. From service to the setup, decor and food - it was all perfect

    Take us back!!

    We had such a memorable day for our wedding and Diamond Mills was a big reason why! We planned our entire wedding (200 people) in all of three months and Brianne worked so closely with us from start to finish to make sure the day was perfect. She was very responsive, consultative when we needed advice, and quick to action. We got married in the ballroom and it was a beautiful venue. The food was also excellent. It was way above what you would expect for a wedding and all of our guests had nothing but positive things to say. They loved it! We would highly recommend Diamond Mills to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!

    5 Stars Across the Board!

    The staff, especially Brianne and Kelsey, were absolutely fantastic to work with. From day one with each of them it was evident that they are pros in their field and know what needs to be done and how to do it. It was wonderful to work with them and watch the conversations we'd had discussing what we envisioned come to life before our eyes on our special day.
    The day as a whole was perfect, I wouldn't change a thing, and a big part of that was Diamond Mills. It started with the wedding parties getting ready there before going to the location of the ceremony (off premises). It was a beautiful foggy morning and with the waterfall outside it felt and looked straight out of a fairytale. The getting ready pictures came out beautifully in both rooms upstairs and the first look photos with my family on the deck of the ballroom are some of my (bride) personal favorites from the day.
    The food was amazing! The staff and space were exquisite and it all felt so lovely leading up to and the whole of the special day. Once the day began we didn't have to worry about anything, Brianne and Kelsey and their staff took care of everything. From the band getting set, the cake being delivered, to everything in between. If anything went wrong we weren't privy to it as everything seemed to go on without a hitch.
    The unveiling of the reception area after cocktail hour was completed was such a magical touch. The windows and deck were crowd favorites. Our guests have commented time and time again since that day, that it was the most fun reception at one of the most beautiful venues they'd ever been too. We couldn't agree more and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a space. They do a beautiful and professional job that results in being able to enjoy your special event without any outside concerns.
    We are looking very forward to visiting on our one year anniversary and reliving the magic as much as we can.

    Best weekend of our lives!

    We got married at Diamond Mills in November 2022 and it was pure magic. Every single aspect of the entire weekend was picture perfect. The food and drinks were outstanding; the hotel rooms are pristine and luxurious; the views are breathtaking; and the entire staff was beyond accommodating. Brianne and Kelsey are truly special. They worked with us every step of the way, keeping us on track and organized. I could not possible recommend Diamond Mills and Brianne and Kelsey more!

    Best day ever !!

    Brianne is incredible! She is highly organized, knowledgeable, and experienced. Beyond her expertise, she is kind, easy to talk to, and reliable. Meeting with Brianne allowed me to feel confident that I had everything properly prepared for our big day. She provides her honest professional options and reminds you of small but important details that would otherwise be overlooked during the planning stages. Brianne really was a life saver throughout the whole planning process! I was certain everything would run smoothly on our wedding day because of her. Brianne, thank you!!!!! Kelsey helped us on our wedding day- she is great!! She made sure our night ran according to the plan and helped me greatly during a dress malfunction. Kelsey was readily available throughout the entire wedding day which was super helpful! Thank you, Kelsey!! Booking a hotel block was quite the headache. Some staff at the hotel are difficult to communicate with and were unprofessional at times. However, this would not take away from my recommendation of using Diamond Mills for your wedding day. The venue and property are absolutely gorgeous! We got married on the balcony overlooking the waterfalls. Our pictures came our gorgeous. We can’t recommend Diamond Mills enough for your special events!!!!

    Perfect wedding at diamond mills

    Brianne and Kelsey are the best! They made our choice of Diamond Mills quite easy. From day one of meeting them and seeing the venue, we all knew this was the right place. Every detail was tended to with ease and professionalism which was very much appreciated. They were there to guide and calm me whenever I needed it and always answered all questions thoroughly and promptly. We required a large venue for an over 200 person guest list and all the facilities at Diamond Mills fit the bill. The magnificent hotel, the Saugerties Steamboat Co (rehearsal dinner), the Tavern (post wedding brunch) and the ball room were elegant and charming and simply worked magnificently for all our needs. The entire staff led by Brianne and Kelsey made the 10+ months of planning and execution effortless. Kudos to them all! I'm grateful to have found them and Diamond Mills and give them my highest recommendation and thanks for making Emily and Josh's wedding so perfect and eternally memorable.

    Our dream wedding weekend!

    The team at the Diamond Mills was a dream to work with from the very start. We had our rehearsal dinner and our farewell brunch at Saugerties Steamboat Co. and we got married at the Diamond Mills. Throughout the entire process, Brianne and Kelsey were communicative, transparent, and incredibly helpful and accommodating. They accepted the challenge of our large guest list and made our event flow with ease. Kelsey actually started at Diamond Mills in the middle of our planning process, which had us nervous for only the briefest moment, because she jumped in with ease, taking the helm effortlessly and helping us execute our wedding plans more beautifully than we could have imagined. Kelsey and Brianne always made themselves available to chat about questions and concerns we had, even when we were a few weeks out and they were working their busiest fall weekends. We really don't know how they do it but we can't recommend them enough. The whole staff was incredible to work with - friendly, sweet, and accommodating. The food and dessert was amazing, and the fact that the venue provides nearly everything you need except music and florals is a huge plus. They were so easy to work with and accommodating and transparent at every step. Even when it came to the wedding weekend itself, Kelsey was always within earshot to help settle any issues that arose or answer any last minute questions that popped up. She guided us through our rehearsal, ceremony, and each event with ease and enthusiasm. We can't thank her enough for making our wedding weekend the most memorable and stress-free weekend it could be!

    Great Experience

    Brianne and the rest of the staff at Diamond Mills are awesome. We got married during a difficult time in the pandemic, after already postponing for a year. Brianne was SO helpful, considerate, and accommodating through all of it. We had a great experience working with Diamond Mills every step of the way from our initial visit to the day after. Plus, the food is great, hotel is very nice, and the overall atmosphere is beautiful - would highly recommend!

    11/10 would recommend!!

    We couldn't have made a better decision than to choose Diamond Mills/Saugerties Steamboat Co. for our wedding venue! The boathouse is a beautiful and unique space, the food was amazing, and the staff really put in 110% effort. Kelsey went above and beyond and truly understood our vision down to the smallest details. Our guests were raving about the venue, the menu and the whole event all night long. We credit Kelsey and the rest of the team immensely for the success of our day and can't say enough good things about this place!

    Amazing venue and intimate setting

    Our wedding at Diamond Mills was exactly everything we wanted! From the minute we walked in everything just fell into place! Breanne and Kelsey lead the way but the entire staff was amazing! They were open to our vision and any customization. The view, food and intimate space was everything we wanted! Our day was beyond memorable!

    Amazing Team and Venue

    Brianne and Kelsey were phenomenal to work with, their attention to detail and professionalism through the entire wedding process was fantastic. We looked at many venues before finding Saugerties Steamboat and nothing compared for the vision of our wedding. They made the planning process and day-of easy and stress free, from coordinating with our vendors to making sure we had enough food on our plates and drinks in our hands all night, they are unmatched. Brianne even loaned us some items from her own wedding, going to show that she will go to any lengths to make your event is a success. They are truly the best and treated us like family!

    Beautiful Venue served for a spectacular wedding

    We just celebrated my mothers wedding here. And Brianna was just beyond phenomenal and the entire DM staff as well. The event went even better than expected. Highly recommended for either an event or even just a nice lunch with a beautiful view.

    July 8th Best day ever at Diamond Mills!

    We got married on July 8th at Diamond mills and it was the best day ever! Brianne showed us the venue and we instantly fell in love. She was so attentive and helpful along the year long process. Kelsey not only showed initiative to plan the entire night, but came to a separate venue for our rehearsal to make sure everybody felt comfortable and prepared for the ceremony. The night of the wedding went off without a hitch. Everything including the food was amazing! Our family and friends raved about the party, food, and atmosphere for many days afterwards. Overall I could not of thought of a better spot to get married. The views along with the location to many hotels were one of a kind. I hope Diamond Mills continues to host great weddings!

    A truly wonderful experience!

    My husband and I got married over Memorial Day weekend and it was perfect. At first I hesitated to look at a venue that was so far north, considering its distance from both NYC and Albany (the nearest airports), but when we got there we fell in love with the space. The venue was very affordable compared to anywhere else in NYC; everything was included on site: catering, cake, open bar, ceremony space, hospitality suite, and coordinators! Our coordinators Bethany and Brianne, and later on Kelsey, were utmost professionals and a big part of the reason why we went with this venue. They helped us find some local vendors and maintained communication throughout the whole process.
    We held our ceremony and reception in the main ballroom which can double as a rain ceremony location. The terrace was our ceremony space which overlooks a beautiful waterfall and our guests loved the view. You also have an option of picking the Boathouse by the river for a more rustic feel, or the Tavern with its high ceilings and fireplace.
    The second floor of the ballroom has a hospitality suite, a conference room, and bathrooms which our bridal party used to get ready the morning of the wedding. There was plenty of light and space, and we had even had champagne. My husband and I held an intimate Chinese tea ceremony for our core families in the early afternoon just before our full ceremony, and Brianne and our other vendors easily accommodated our needs to our specifications.
    We had a menu tasting in the spring one year prior to our wedding and picked our cake hors d’oeuvres, and menu items then. We designed a signature cocktail and the bartenders did a great job with it! The guests loved all the food. We also had an afterparty at the Tavern just next door and had a great time.
    I had planned out all our different vendors, but on the day of, I didn’t need to worry about anything because Brianne was the point of contact. We brought a lot of decorations ourselves and told them where each item went, and they executed our vision perfectly! I was swooning over how beautiful everything turned out.
    In terms of hotel accommodation, all of our guests were able to get hotel rooms in the area despite it being a very busy weekend for the HIT Horse Show and several other weddings in the region. There are also several great Airbnb options near the venue as well.
    All in all, a truly wonderful experience at Diamond Mills and I wouldn’t have changed anything about our special day there!

    Absolutely Perfect Day

    Working with Bethany, Brianne, and Kelsey was a pleasure, they made the whole process so easy and flawless. We started our planning in January 2020 for Memorial Day Weekend in 2021. We all know what happened then. They worked with us to re-schedule for Memorial Day Weekend 2022. Brianne and Kelsey thought of everything and delivered an absolutely amazing day for us. The venue, The Steamboat Company, was an absolutely beautiful location, the staff were very accommodating and wonderful and the food was undeniably amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our wedding! Can't wait to go back for our 1-year anniversary at The Tavern.

    Amazing Staff / Amazing Venue / Amazing Party

    We immediately fell in love with this venue on our first visit back in 2018. Bethany and Brianne were a delight to work with throughout all of our meetings and visits. We were two weeks from our original date when we were affected by the pandemic shutdown. Throughout the years, we were able to re-plan and re-schedule everything. They had us back for another menu tasting and were obviously very understanding with all of the postponements. We were finally able to celebrate in their beautiful reception hall a month ago! All of our guests had a wonderful time! We both are very excited to see our photos by the waterfall!

    Excellent experience!

    Diamond Mills was the perfect location for our 10/30/2021 wedding. As a covid couple, both Bethany & Brianne were amazing throughout the whole process and were accommodating when we had to postpone in 2020. The staff was great throughout the pandemic ensuring all protocols were followed and reminding us that their number one priority was keeping their guests safe. Our wedding day had no issues and Bethany & Brianne’s wedding day timeline was seamless. They are truly amazing at their work and could not recommend Diamond Mills enough to engaged couples! Thank you Diamond Mills team!

    Wouldn't have wanted our wedding anywhere else.

    I looked at a bunch of venues before I found Diamond Mills Hotel. However, when I got to talking to Brianne and Bethany, I knew that this was the place I wanted. Their communication, flexibility, respectfulness, and accommodating attitude are all off the charts. The venue was BEAUTIFUL. The food was the best any of our guests had had at a wedding. It was anything and everything we could've ever dreamed. Would strongly recommend to anyone even remotely thinking about having their wedding here. Seriously, just do it!

    Great venue, great service!

    My wife always imagined getting married at Diamond Mills. After visiting the venue, we both instantly fell in love with the place. Brianne and Bethany from start to finish both were amazing to work with; they went above and beyond to make our day special. Everything went off great and we couldn't have imagined it any better.

    The best of the best

    The BEST! Words cannot describe how great The Diamond Mills and everyone who works there is but I am here to try!! For anyone who is on the fence of putting this one on the list, please DO! From the day we drove up to the grounds, seeing the ballroom with the view of the waterfall and the red bridge I knew this was the one and then I met Brianne and Bethany and then I knew it was REALLY the one!! This was the only venue we looked at and I immediately crossed off all the others on my list. I knew I wanted our wedding here!!

    We were beyond lucky to have worked with the best. Brianne and Bethany are the true meaning of a team! Although Bethany is no longer working there, their new event coordinator, Kelsey is just as amazing! I reached out just a couple days before and she knew every answer to all my final detailed questions like I had been working with her the whole time!!

    I never once felt alone through the entire process. They were there with me through it all, literally! From when we booked, to our postponement, to the day of and all the details in between. You needed them, Bethany and Brianne were always there! Their Professionalism, attention to detail, honesty and friendship is what every bride hopes they get when planning her dream wedding and I had it all working with Brianne and Bethany!!

    What's a review without a food review!! I have to talk about the food... We had our tasting in August of 2020, almost a year and half from our second date, and I questioned myself if I wanted to change up the options. I was so glad I didn't. I still have people raving about the food almost 2 weeks later. Texts messages from people wanting more of our cake. No one remembers the food at weddings let alone the cake, but at the DM you will!!
    The service that came along with the food was phenomenal, all staff made sure the bride and groom and their guests were taken care of throughout the whole night!

    I could not recommend this venue more than I have already, well maybe I could if we went to the DM for lunch :)

    The most AMAZING venue!!

    Oh my goodness, there is so much to say about how wonderful Diamond Mills is!! We were married at DM on Saturday November 13th 2021 after working with them for around 30 months (what a time lol!). From our initial meeting with Brianne, we were in love with the space and how amazing and helpful she was. DM was the first venue we looked at and after looking at three others that weekend we knew DM was the perfect spot. Just from how knowledgeable and how friendly Brianne was and how she anticipated questions we didn’t even know to ask! As we were traveling from out of state, I loved the fact that everything could be in the exact same location. The Venue, Hotel and Tavern being so close sold it for me, who doesn’t want to be able to just walk over to the ceremony instead of having to figure out timing or travel.
    We were one of the wonderful couples who had to postpone due to Covid and never at any point did we have an issue dealing with DM. At every point Brianne and Bethany were so helpful and so caring in dealing with the problems many of their couples faced. We had our tasting during the point of not knowing if we would postpone or not and they worked with us. My MIL was actually there and thought Brianne and Bethany were our friends from just how lovely they were to talk to! The wait was worth it because our day was absolutely incredible!! Even planning through a pandemic and through distance it was never a hassle. I asked the most random questions and was always given a timely and helpful response, it was such a pleasure every time I had to communicate with someone at DM.
    The space is absolutely amazing from our initial arrival at the Hotel everyone was in love with the view of the falls. The rooms are gorgeous, the ballroom is spectacular, the staircase was incredible for pictures. Everything came together wonderfully even though we had to move our ceremony inside due to rain. I was worried since I had loved the outside terrace, but the inside ceremony was so intimate and beautiful I think I loved it even more than our original plan.
    The staff, oh my goodness, the staff is amazing! We had never been to a wedding where so many people complimented on how amazing the staff were! Seriously every server and bartender I interacted with I was amazed with how helpful and caring each of them were. We knew we had loved Bethany and Brianne, but to know that each and every member of the staff and the banquet manager, Ryan, were just as lovely and amazing to deal with as they were made me so relieved and happy that we had chosen DM.
    The food… oh boy don’t get me started on how amazing the pumpkin ravioli is! We had our tasting in July of 2020 and I dreamt of the food since then. Our cake was amazing! Cocktail hour was great, everything was so good and wonderful. One of our groomsmen was a chef for years and he was insanely impressed by the mashed potatoes!
    Every single detail was perfect. Every part of the process of wedding planning with DM was stress free. I loved the homework packets and checklists that they gave us, it was so easy and helpful in making everything come together. They were amazing in creating the most amazing wedding for us. Only regret is I cannot do this every year lol!
    If you are looking for the most amazing venue, I would absolutely recommend DM. Everything was absolutely perfect. Everyone was amazing. Everything was delicious. I could go on forever about how perfect my wedding was and it is thanks to the wonderful people at DM and I cannot thank them all enough!

    Amazing and so much more

    Where to begin! From day 1 these Bethany and Brianne were amazing! We booked our wedding 9/2020 in the middle of Covid and with many unknowns. They always kept us informed and up to speed in the little details about how our day may or may not change. Fast forward our wedding day. Everything we could of dreamt of and sooo much more. We had no issues from service to food to the function of our day. They were a priceless emotional support for me and made my day calm and always reminded us to focus on us. The venue (steamboat) was perfection. My vision of what I hoped our day would look like came true. These ladies are a godsend and wonderful at their jobs!! Thank you and we will see you for the holidays!!!

    A Dream Come True

    WOW! Diamond Mills is absolutely worth the five star rating. Our wedding was on 10/23/2021 so all the details are fresh in my mind. I will start by saying that our original wedding date was May 8th, 2021, but due to covid, we had to push it back, which looking back was a win-win for us. The venue at Diamond Mills is situated right on the Esopus creek and during the fall, you can see the leaves changing, Our pictures came our beautifully at such a gorgeous venue. Secondly, Bethany and Brianne are Heaven-sent. Literally every single question I had was answered so efficiently via email or phone. Bethany was always accessible and always kind. I'm sure I was overwhelming her with questions and concerns in particular about covid precautions, but she never showed any frustration. The point is...planning a wedding is not easy in general, but with Bethany and Brianne, it IS easy! I truly admire their work ethic and I'm so thankful for every thing they did for us. At our rehearsal dinner and the wedding =, we had guests comment on how well-run the entire event was. We even had friends there who were getting married elsewhere a couple of weeks after us and the first words out of their mouths were, "I hope our event coordinator is as amazing as Bethany!". The attention to detail had me feeling cool as a cucumber on my wedding day, when in reality, I am usually one to be anxious. Bethany and Brianne utilize a "homework packet" that makes sure that everything is set up the way you want it on the day of your wedding. I knew going into it that we were all on the same page, including the vendors. Another reason why I loved having our wedding at Diamond Mills is because it is right in the village of Saugerties and close in proximity to many other hotels if you have a lot of guests coming from out of town. Bethany and Brianne can definitely suggest hotels, shuttle companies, and other vendors as they have worked with many and are extremely familiar with the area. We had our wedding in the Grand Ballroom, which is a beautiful room and can be decorated any which way you choose. Though we decided on the ballroom, we also checked out the Tavern and the Steamboat and I loved both. Diamond Mills can work for any style wedding for that reason. The food was INCREDIBLE. Our guests were blown away and so was I. I know that often times, brides and grooms miss out on the food because we are so busy chatting with guests, but there was a server there who let me know that he would personally make sure I got every single hors d'oeuvre and he did not dissappoint! Lastly, the rooms are just gorgeous and we stayed in the tower suite after the wedding. It was easily the nicest hotel room I have ever had the pleasure of staying it - plus, the view was breathtaking! I just felt so cared for every step of the way and I cannot explain how much that meant to me. It was a beautiful experience every step of the way. Bethany is such an asset and perfect for her role at Diamond Mills. I would also have to say the same about Brianne and Ryan as well. These ladies are on top of their game! If you are looking for a beautiful wedding in the Hudson Valley, then the Diamond Mills is definitely your place! Love them and can't wait to head back for our 1 year anniversary!

    Perfect wedding

    My wife and I got married a month ago and had our reception at Diamond Mills. We couldn’t be happier with the way everything turned out!

    The building is beautiful and the view of the bridge/river is amazing and made for some really great pictures!

    Our guests were blown away by how good all of the food was, which was no surprise. We went for two tastings and it was honestly so hard to make final menu choices because everything was so good!!

    I am a big hockey fan and I asked if they could make a custom Stanley Cup wedding cake. Not only did they agree to do it but they did an awesome job and it came out amazing.

    I can’t say enough how amazing Brianne and Bethany were. We had to cancel twice because of Covid and they were there for us for all of the ups and downs. They are both so sweet and kind and truly a pleasure to work with. Bethany must have answered a thousand emails from us over the last two years and she was always very prompt, thorough and super helpful! She always has a smile on her face and she was a calming presence when the Covid stress got overwhelming. She made everything go smoothly on the wedding day. I can’t say enough how much we loved working with her and how great she is at her job!!

    Our experience at DM was overwhelmingly positive and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue!

    I could go on and on!!

    I don't even know where to begin with Diamond Mills. DM was maybe the third venue we considered and saw after we got engaged and it was instantly the obvious choice. Being from Saugerties, this was the favorable option as far as being close to home. My husband and I both agreed that Diamond Mills would be the perfect venue, but it wasn't until the planning process that we truly saw the worth and value in what we'd chosen.

    Bethany and Brianne are the backbone of a wedding at Diamond Mills, and if they aren't the strongest backbone you'll ever find!! I don't know how Bethany does it - she fielded and responded to e-mails from me consistently - usually riddled with questions or worry - and she did it with such grace. Having her there the day of was an absolute blessing and pleasure. When it came time for her to leave at the end of the night I didn't even want her to! I'd rather she stayed and joined the fun!

    The beauty of Diamond Mills is above and beyond, but the operations and the ebb and flow of everything truly stands out and will leave a mark on our wedding day memories. The food was fantastic, as expected, and we kept the tavern bar open after our reception for people which was a huge hit! The bartender was incredible and the option to continue the fun in a more intimate way at the end of the night was perfect. We stayed at the Hotel that night, as well, which was incredible and the front desk girl that night, Sara, was an angel!

    I could go on and on and I want to, but I'm afraid I'll get carried away. All in all, we've been wishing to go back all week. Diamond Mills is the place for sure!

    Great location with incredible hospitality

    This review is so overdue, but we had the BEST, most magical wedding day and we credit so much of that to Diamond Mills. We met with Brianne in 2020 (the weekend before the world shut down) and were immediately impressed with the organization and attention to detail. Brianne made us feel like we were the only couple she was planning for. After touring a few other venues we decided that Diamond Mills had everything we needed and they really set the bar high. We took a chance in an unpredictable world and set the date for 2021. Bethany & Brianne did a wonderful job keeping us updated as we navigated a rollercoaster of added and dropped Covid regulations for the year leading up to our big day. We are so thankful to say that by the time May 30th rolled around we were able to have the most perfect day. I can't even brag about Bethany enough for her day-of assistance. We made a game day decision to relocate the whole ceremony inside due to rain and she perfectly re-decorated the new space. Then she hand-crafted some extra boutonnieres on the spot, while also making sure both groom and bridal parties had sufficient bar snacks. She was everywhere!
    But I could really brag about all of the staff. Numerous guests raved that the bartender memorized everyone's drink order after just one visit (110 guests), custodians helped us pack up the next day, the security guard helped us find some lost cell phones at 5am. The entire Diamond Mills staff just lives hospitality!
    So incredibly thankful for these ladies on our best day. Our over the top happiness is evident in every photo.

    The best of the best!

    Originally we booked Diamond Mills for our 10/17/2020 wedding. Bethany and Brianne were so understanding when we had told them we needed to postpone and guided us through the ever changing guidelines that had during the ongoing pandemic. Both Bethany and Brianne are absolute delights. Bethany was there every step of the way during the planning process. Her positive outlook and bubbly attitude was definitely needed during times of stress and uncertainty. I could not have asked to work with a better duo. You certainly wont regret booking your special day with these lovely ladies.

    Highly recommend!

    After many postponements due to Covid we were finally able to have our dream wedding at Diamond Mills on 7/18/21. It was truly the best day every. Brianne and Bethany were so great to work with especially with all the changes with the pandemic and our questions were always answered right away. The day of they had everything set up for us and we did not need to do a thing except get married! Despite the last minute rain storm we were still able to have a beautiful ceremony and of course got our picture on the infamous bridge! You will not be disappointed by having your big day at Diamond Mills.

    Best. Weekend. EVER.

    You will not regret booking your wedding at Diamond Mills! We had our postponed wedding on 8/14/2021 and we are still saying we wish we could do it all over again because it was the most incredible weekend, thanks to the staff at DM. Bethany, one of the venue coordinators, was so wonderful to work with - her patience, constant communication, positive attitude and helpfulness (she knows all the best restaurants/bars/local vendors!) really helped us get through all the ups and downs of planning a wedding over the past 1.5 years. Bethany & Brianne guided us through every aspect of the wedding planning and helped make it as simple and streamlined as possible with organized excel sheets.
    We had our rehearsal dinner at the Steamboat Saugerties Co. with dinner, live music, and lawn games on the waterfront under the string lights. Our wedding day in the ballroom was more beautiful than we even imagined (many guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding location they've ever been to), and we never once felt rushed or out of the loop with the wedding day timeline. The event manager, Ryan, was so attentive and she did an amazing job of coordinating both parties after-hours. The after party in the Tavern next door was the perfect way to end the night with more music, food and drinks, and a staff that could handle a big crowd!
    We loved the convenience of having our families and close friends stay at the hotel and we received glowing reviews from all of our guests about the rooms. Plus, the Esopus Suite was the ideal place for the bridal party to get hair & makeup done. We can't say enough good things about our experience and we highly recommend Diamond Mills for your wedding!

    A dream come true

    How do I even begin to describe the magic that was our wedding weekend at Diamond Mills? From the constant communication, support and helpfulness of Bethany and Brianne and the DM staff, to our rehearsal dinner at sister property Steamboat Co., wedding in the Ballroom, after party at the Tavern, and a morning after Brunch, our weekend was truly unbelievable. Countless guests came up to us DURING our wedding to remark that this was the best wedding they had ever been to. I cannot praise Diamond Mills enough, it holds a sincerely special place in our hearts!

    Best venue ever!

    Diamond Mills will ALWAYS be a part of our Wedding Story. As a pandemic wedding, we had to postpone our initial ceremony. We were able to have an intimate ceremony in October 2020 with our immediate family at Saugerties Steamboat, followed by our planned reception at Diamond Mills in July 2021. Throughout the entire process, Brianne and Bethany were absolutely amazing. From making sure the short rib we loved could still be on the menu a year after we had planned to finding the perfect beer for our signature cocktail, they went out of their way to make our day amazing. The venue itself was outstanding: the view of the river, the ballroom that opens to the outside, and the tavern for Sunday brunch; we simply couldn't have asked for more. Guest after guest commented to us on how much they loved it. This venue and these ladies are incredible. You will not be disappointed!

    The best day ever! Thank you diamond mills!

    I had my wedding at Diamond Mills on 6.26.2021 and my husband and I are still on cloud nine from our most perfect/best day ever! Bethany and Brianne from the very beginning of planning until the day of the wedding have been nothing but amazing, organized, helpful and truly made our day so special. The staff at Diamond Mills and the hotel is also incredible. Our wedding guests are still talking about the location, the hotel, the food and amazing time they had at our wedding. We are so excited to go back and visit Diamond Mills again- it will be a spot that will forever be special to us. Thank you Bethany, Brianne, the staff at Diamond Mills!!!

    This is the place to have your wedding! I cannot begin to describe how accommodating Bethany and Brianne were with my husband and I having to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to Covid. Everything was so beautiful and done so professionally. We really could not have booked a more beautiful place and wouldn't have changed a single thing about our wedding. Thank you Diamond Mills staff for the best day ever!

    Amazing venue with amazing people!

    I can't say enough good things about Diamond Mills Hotel & Saugerties Steamboat Co.! My husband and I are overwhelmed with the kindness of the wedding coordinators! Bethany and Brianne made sure that our wedding day ran as smooth as can be. They worked with my vendors and communicated with everyone so well! We first visited Diamond Mills on a casual weekend getaway - the hotel is super clean and all the entire staff is so friendly! We fell in love with the beautiful waterfall and amazing views. We can't wait to go back and celebrate our wedding anniversary at Diamond Mills.

    Best Venue with Amazing Event Coordinators

    Words can not describe how wonderful our wedding experience was thanks to the Diamond Mill gals, Bethany and Brianne! Similar to other's experiences with wedding planning during COVID19, we were devastated when our wedding was postponed a year. During this stressful time, Bethany and Brianne were there every step of the way, providing updates and working with us to ensure our wedding day would be as special as we envisioned pre-COVID19. Bethany and Brie make wedding planning fun! Everything from our DJ to florist came highly recommended from these two. The connections that they've made with photographers, florists, DJs, bridal shops, etc. makes planning a wedding so easy. We've reached out to several DJs and photographers - each one knew and loved Bethany and Brie. This detail is often overlooked, but so crucial as it made us as a couple feel confident that everything would go smoothly, and it did! We knew our wedding day was going to be beautiful, but we had no idea how fun it would be! The day was filled with endless delicious (top-notch) food and beverages, music and dancing. Brie and Bethany not only accommodated all our needs, but went above and beyond with all requests. At last minute we hired a caricaturist (highly recommend this!) and they both jumped right in making sure all accommodations were met. If you want a beautiful wedding with people that pour their heart and soul into every detail, go to Diamond Mills! Brie and Bethany thank you for all the memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

    An Amazing Experience!

    As the mother of the Bride, I couldn’t have wished for a better wedding for my daughter! From start to finish, Diamond Mills made my daughters’ wedding truly a dream come true. Bethany and Brianne are amazing at what they do. They are professional, knowledgeable and beyond helpful especially during difficult times. My daughter had to move her wedding date twice because of COVID and Bethany and Brianne made the whole process seamless. They were in constant contact with my daughter, alleviating any stress she had. The Grand Ballroom, where we had the wedding, offers the most spectacular views of the Esopus creek and waterfall! As guests lingered out onto the huge terrace overlooking the Falls, which lighted up at night, they couldn’t help but marvel at the stunning beauty of it. But the true star of the event I must say was the food! Our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The bartenders made amazing drinks and wait staff couldn’t have been more attentive. The night started and ended perfectly. The next morning we treated some guests to Brunch at The Tavern. Another great culinary experience! The lemon blueberry pancakes were to die for! I am beyond happy with the entire experience. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the Hudson Valley area, with a great staff who knows how to give that personal touch, this is the place for you. You won’t regret it!!!!

    Amazing staff and venue!

    We can’t say enough about how amazing Diamond Mills and their staff is. Bethany and Brianne were with us every step of the way in planning our pre and then post Covid wedding. Anytime we needed to discuss changes or bounce ideas off them, they made themselves available. They were simply the best. Outside of amazing staff, the venue is breathtakingly beautiful and the food is absolutely delicious. Our guests are still raving about what an amazing time they had and how gorgeous the venue was. I would absolutely recommend DM to anyone looking for a venue!

    Tornado and All!

    Crazy weather couldn’t keep the team at Diamond Mills from giving us the perfect micro wedding. Brianne and Bethany coordinated a beautiful ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner and even threw in a magical double rainbow for our photos! The food was absolutely delicious, the custom
    cake was baked by their in-house chef and the service was impeccable. Even during Covid we had an incredibly special evening that we will never forget. I highly recommended this venue!

    Perfect Wedding October 2020

    This has certainly been the craziest year, but both Bethany and Brianna were able to make our wedding at the Saugerties Steamboat Co. just perfect. My wife and I are so happy with how our wedding turned out, from every detail at the rehearsal dinner on the tavern terrace to the very last second of our wedding reception at the Steamboat Co.! 2020 has brought tremendous challenges to all, but Diamond Mills was able to ensure every precaution in order to keep us and our loved ones safe and healthy. Overall, we could not have asked for a better wedding weekend. We are so appreciative of how supportive Bethany and Brianne were from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend a wedding at Diamond Mills Hotel & Saugerties Steamboat Co. to celebrate such a special day!

    Best Day Ever!

    Planning a wedding is hard enough to begin with but being a bride during the pandemic was something I thought would be extremely challenging. This was not the case thanks to Bethany and Brianne at Diamond Mills Hotel. They supported us as a couple from day 1 and worked with us every step of the way. We ended up having to push our wedding date and then cut down our guest list to have a more intimate ceremony because after all that planning we just wanted to be married. They helped to ease the difficulties by having conversations and providing us with a variety of creative options to make our wedding dreams come true. The wedding day was extremely smooth and everything I ever imagined. The attention to detail and making sure we had everything the way we wanted it was impeccable. While it wasn’t what we originally planned for our big day, I am so happy that we chose Diamond Mills because without the support, I don’t know how we would have done it. I look back on our wedding day and it still is the best day of my life during a very hard time. From the planning, to replanning, food choices, day of details, room set up, ceremony ideas, service,etc. I am so impressed with Diamond Mills and would highly recommend for any future bride and groom. We are thankful to have been married at Diamond Mills and will forever hold that day very close to our heart.

    Our Dream Wedding Weekend @ Diamond Mills!

    This review is long overdue! If you are second-guessing booking DM, don't hesitate and book now! Brianne and Bethany are a dream team. They were so sweet and so helpful every step of the way.

    As a couple from NYC, we wanted a wedding weekend in the Hudson Valley. Diamond Mills and the wonderful town of Saugerties, NY made this possible for us. We ended up booking Saugerties Steamboat Co. for our Friday night Welcome BBQ for most of our guests, and Diamond Mills on Saturday for our Ceremony & Reception. The beautiful backdrop of the falls and the more formal setting of the ballroom was perfect for us. Family and our Wedding party stayed onsite at DM Hotel.

    Bethany and Brianne were available via email consistently, and they allowed us to stop by the venue multiple times to show our parents, walkthrough with our florist, and walkthrough with Bethany to make sure the design and day-of flow were what we envisioned! We can't thank them enough!

    Our only criticism is with the Hotel, which operates separately from the events team. The staff onsight that weekend was wonderful! However, we had multiple issues with room blocks for our wedding party and family. I had to stay on top of them in making sure the correct rooms were booked and charged to the right credit cards. In the end, Gina Hornbeck ended up saving us and offering much help and guidance with the situation.

    Overall Bethany and Brianne and all of the DM events team were wonderful! Going above and beyond to make our day special. And we can't thank them enough for their help. Our guests are still raving about how fun our wedding weekend was how beautiful the venues were.

    Brianne and Bethany have absolutely lived and breathed hospitality at its highest level into every interaction and support they’ve provided for us along the way, both before we had to postpone our wedding and after.

    Wedding of my Dreams!

    I don't even know where to start. Diamond Mills was the most incredible venue EVER! Bethany is a super star and I have never seen anyone so good at their job before. I wanted to create something different for my NYE wedding and they were flexible, responsive and just such a pleasure to work with. It was the wedding of my dreams. I live in NYC and wasn't sure if they would be able to live up to my expectations but it was even great than I could have imagined. The hotel was great for guests (nightly chocolates and flower in every room), the food at the wedding was incredible (guests are still talking about it) and even the rehearsal dinner and brunch gave us so many incredible options. The thing I am going to miss most about wedding planning is working with Bethany.

    Amazing venue!

    Heather and I got married at the Diamond Mills ballroom in October 2019, it is a beautiful venue with great views and the food was absolutely delicious as well. The hotel suites and rooms are amazing each with their waterfall views as well. We worked with Bethany who helped plan the event for us. She was easy to work with when coming up with the event order, and was helpful with her suggestions and ideas. She was very attentive and quick-thinking on the day of the event, co-ordinating with the vendors and making sure things run smoothly. The reception event staff were also very friendly and did a great job. They have a great list of preferred vendors as well and we highly recommend this venue!

    Best Night Ever

    Where do I even begin! My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to get married at the Diamond Mills. From our very first meeting to the wedding weekend itself, everything was amazing. As people who love a good excel spreadsheet, we were immediately impressed when Brianne presented us price breakdowns of all our options. We were able to customise our package and got everything we wanted! Bethany is an angel, and made the planning process seamless. It was absolutely stress free, and we already miss working with her! From dealing with crazy relatives, to helping fix my dress bustle when it ripped mid-reception, she was a total professional, and incredibly sweet. Their preferred vendor list was equally amazing, and it was great to have a team that worked so well together. Our guests are still raving about our wedding night, how beautiful the venue was, and how much fun they had! We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary next year, and we love giving recommendations to friends getting married in the area!

    Our only criticism is for the Hotel and the Tavern, which have separate management from the wedding venue team. While the food is great, the service at the Tavern is incredibly slow. We had heard this before going and hoped for the best, but everyone was right. It took far too long for anyone to even approach our table, and we’re very patient people! The service at the hotel was not very accommodating when it came to our hotel block. My father in law booked his hotel rooms for Friday and Saturday night when we first set our date. Somehow they messed up the reservation and they booked him independently for Friday night and then for Saturday night. When he called the hotel the week before the wedding to make sure his reservation was set, they realized the mistake and were somehow unable to adjust it. He had to check out the morning of the wedding from his Friday night stay and then check back in again to stay Saturday night. This was the last thing he needed to be worrying about on the day of his son’s wedding, and they made no effort to resolve the issue. We were very disappointed in the lack of service and professionalism on such a special day, especially for a very important part of our wedding.

    But I want to end this on a high note. Despite the criticism for the Tavern and Hotel, we are so happy with how our wedding went, and will continue to sing the praises of Bethany, Brianne, and the whole events team - we’re always your biggest fans!

    The Wedding Of Our Dreams

    We recently had our wedding at Diamond Mills and could not have asked for a better experience. The staff are amazing, very attentive, professional and on top of things. Our wedding coordinators took the time to respond to every email/phone call and made sure we understood every little detail. On the day of our event everything went smoothly. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and every one of our guests said they had a blast. We are extremely happy we decided to have our wedding at Diamond Mills and would recommend this venue to anyone for any occasion.

    The best wedding location ever!

    I honestly don't even know where to begin to describe just how incredible our wedding reception was at Diamond Mills. When we first met with Brianne to learn about weddings at Diamond Mills, we knew we were going to be in good hands and that we were going to have the most incredible and special day. Brianne and Bethany took care of us from beginning to end. There easy to fill out homework packets helped us make sure we had everything we needed ahead of time. They planned the entire timeline for us, were there to meet months ahead, were there the days before when we had to drop off our stuff and were of course there the day of. They were so flexible with everything, they arranged our decorations for us and made everything look better than we ever could have imagined. It was also incredible because even though many others have been married their before they allowed us to put our own touches on things and made us feel so special that it felt as though our wedding was so unique. The staff all around was incredible from not just the event coordinators but also the waiters, bussers, bartenders and chefs. The food was absolutely incredible from the appetizers to the cheese spread to the outstanding entrees and of course the delicious cake. Our guests are still raving about the food, drinks, the staff and of course how beautiful the location was. The amazing balcony overlooking the waterfalls is just the most perfect place for cocktail hour and pictures. The ballroom was so incredibly beautiful. I also have to mention how great it was for our bridal party to have the bridal suite. We also did an after party at the Tavern which was awesome because we had our guests just walk right next door and keep the party going. Then not to mention the hotel being situated right there which allowed our guests the comfort of walking right upstairs when they were done. We absolutely loved every second of it from working with Brianne and Bethany almost a year ahead of time, to the dinner tasting which was incredible, to the planning, and then the whole day of. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place. If you want to have your wedding at a location that your guests will love, that you can turn into your own unique day, that will put your mind at ease and give you the most incredible day, you have to choose Diamond Mills!

    Best Day Ever!

    Wedding planning is stressful? I really wouldn't know due to the wonderful and helpful staff at Diamond Mills! Brianne and Bethany were amazing to work with. While they are both fun and have a great sense of humor, they are also caring, patient, and conscientious individuals, who can seriously get down to business, are great at what they do, and can make magic happen. No question seem to bother them, they were always available to talk, and were both so knowledgeable about how to have the smoothest running wedding possible, without sacrificing any beauty. I strongly believe that the day of my wedding was so stress-free because of these two! I really had nothing to worry about during the months leading up to the wedding and the day of! The waitstaff was also amazing. Our guests cannot stop talking the service they received during our wedding. They all rave about how nice the waiters were and how delicious their meals were. One aspect that stood out to our guests the most was how friendly and quick the bartenders were. With a guest total of 135 fond drinkers, there was never any lines at the bar. Our guests also still talk about how our red velvet wedding cake was one of the best cakes they have ever tasted! Everything left to Diamond Mills to handle was simply done incredibly on their part. My husband and I couldn't be happier with service we received here. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

    Perfect Venue!

    We had our wedding at the Tavern at Diamond Mills. Brianne gave us the tour and we knew right away that Diamond Mills was the venue for us. From there we were in touch with Bethany who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was our wedding coordinator and was professional, patient, kind, helpful, and extremely responsive. Bethany and her team set up the venue perfectly. She made the whole planning process easy, from start to finish. The venue was gorgeous and provided the perfect winter wonderland setting we envisioned. The price was reasonable, staff was great, and the wedding was perfect!

    Amazing day!

    We got married in the tavern in May, and it was the best day! Bethany from start to finish was the most responsive, organized, and helpful contact. She really made us feel comfortable and made the wedding planning fun (not stressful)! On the wedding day, the tavern was beautifully set up, the food was fantastic, and we had a wonderful time without a care at all. Many guests commented on the beautiful location. We are so, so glad we chose to have our wedding in the tavern at Diamond Mills!

    Elegant Fall Wedding

    We had our wedding this past weekend, Oct 13, 2019 in the Tavern at Diamond Mills. Both Bethany and Brianne (wedding planners) were so helpful every step of the way. I hear many people wanting that barn wedding look but I did the research and it makes more sense to come to the tavern and get that barn wedding without the trouble of all the work! The Tavern has that rustic feel and you can add your own personal touches as well! We loved everything about our wedding, I wouldn't have changed a thing except to stay all night!

    Beautiful June Wedding

    Choosing Diamond Mills as our wedding location was the best decision we ever made as a couple! From the very beginning of the planning process, Bethany and Brianne were friendly, attentive, and accommodating for the vision we had for our big day. We loved the outdoor ceremony space on the back terrace that flowed into an inside/outside cocktail hour and finished with a beautiful reception in the ballroom. We also wanted a venue where we would be the only wedding in that specific part of the site so we wouldn’t have to share bathrooms, hallways, etc. The space was truly ours. In addition to its perfect Hudson Valley location, we were drawn to Diamond Mill’s package & food offerings as we knew that a big cocktail hour was important to us. We settled on the Diamond Package which gave us the best offerings of high-quality food, in-person action stations, personalized signature cocktails, top shelf spirits, and excellent customer service – our guests were blown away and raved about how great it was! The reception dinner choices, cake, and Viennese table were out of this world. The bacon wrapped filet with crabmeat was the best meal of my life – and yes, as the bride, I ate dinner! We also appreciated the following aspects of this location: convenient and abundant parking for guests and shuttle buses, the upstairs bridal suite which served as a pre-wedding wedding party room and a quiet escape for my husband and I during the actual event, beautiful indoor ceremony location options (if needed), and the beautiful bathrooms! It may be silly, but we’ve been to too many events where guests are sharing toiletries and waiting in line for bathrooms with guests of other events. I could even fit in the stalls with my dress! We can’t thank Bethany, Brianne, and their team enough!

    Diamond Mills Hotel and Tavern

    Diamond Mills was the perfect place to have our wedding. From the moment we arrived we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. After meeting with a Bethany we stopped looking at other venues and booked our date! The whole experience from start to finish was beyond pleasant. Bethany and Brianne were so helpful with all of our needs. They were easy to get in touch with and responded to all of our emails quickly. The day of the wedding everything was set up perfectly. The waterfall and bridge view were breathtaking. The service was excellent and all of our guest could not stop talking about how amazing the food is. It’s very rare to see every plate cleared at a wedding, but at Diamond Mills the food is so good you can’t stop. We were told from the beginning something always goes wrong and to just let go and enjoy the day, fortunately absolutely nothing went wrong, we had the most pleasant and perfect wedding.

    Incredible

    Diamond Mills was the best choice . We live near Beacon Newburgh and DM was by far the most affordable ! We’ve spoken to several guests at our wedding and usually guests say oh the venue was beautiful but food wasn’t great etc . But Diamond Mills blows everything out of the water . I promise your guests will love everything about this venue because ours can’t stop talking about it STILL ! I will be honest , we had a little hiccup in the beginning with room blocks because they were transitioning between staff but DM did everything and more to make the situation right with us ! Our wedding coordinator was Bethany and OMG ! Give that girl a raise she was absolutely perfect , I didn’t worry about one single thing on the day of my wedding and trust me there were a lot of dynamics to worry about lol . I honestly cannot suggest this venue enough ! Everything about them was perfect they were so respectful , polite , friendly just really the package deal ! I’m also going to add because I couldn’t find info on this when I was searching but please give your servers a little something extra ! They are super hard workers especially at DM and it literally would make their night I’m sure . I know your spending a lot but a little extra thought goes a long way and I know this because Diamond Mills really put extra thought into my whole wedding and I truly believe they did that because they wanted too not because they had too !! Okay ratings !! Food: A Pricing: A Venue: A+ Hotel accommodations near by: A- Staff: A+ Coordinator: A+ Stress free: A+ I also want to suggest my other vendors because they were equally as amazing and affordable!! Instagrams, check them out !! Venue: @diamondmillsny Photographer: @michellefrederickphoto DJ/videographer: @empire_sound Make up: @erinmullermakeup Hair: @thegreenroombeautylounge Barber: @twinsbarbershop_beacon_newyork Flowers: Urban Whiskey Design ******Last HUGE suggestion there was a TON of traffic on the thruway and we had about 15 of our guests miss the ceremony and they left leaving arrival time 15-30 min before the event started so I would make sure you stress to your guests to at least get into saugerties 45 min before hand and grab a drink at the tavern next door !****

    The price includes an extra hour added in the large ballroom. Our wedding was 5:30-12am . No early guest arrival or anything extra , all the standard basic package .

    Amazed & Delighted

    I cannot say enough nice things about the Steamboat Co/Diamond Mills! The staff is absolutely amazing. From the attendants to the bartender, spot on! All were personable, always moving, and ready to help.

    The event staff made everything on that very special day seem effortless, never missing a beat! No detail was untouched, and they delivered an amaze & delight experience for everyone who attendant.

    An amazing experience!

    We had such an incredible wedding at Diamond Mills tavern! Everything turned out just as we had hoped and our guests really enjoyed themselves. It was an absolute pleasure working with Bethany! She was on top of everything, so organized, responsive and personable! Our guests were blown away by how beautiful the space was and by the incredible view of the falls! Oh, and the food was delicious, everything from the hor d'oeuvres to the cake! I have already recommended this venue to a friend getting married next year!

    I want to repeat our day!

    After our beautiful wedding I just kept saying "I want to do it again! I want to have another wedding!" And if we could, I wouldn't change a thing! Diamond Mills, Brianne, and Bethany were a dream to work with. From our first meeting my husband and I were confident this would be our venue. They have a beautiful ceremony and reception space, attached tavern and restaurant, and hotel rooms -- really convenient for our guests who were traveling. Their rates and options are clear cut and reasonable - they had a wonderful book with everything outlined clearly and they either stuck to that information or gave us improved options! Brianne was a pleasure to work with initially; after touring the venue and speaking with her once we booked it! From then on, Bethany was our contact person and day-of coordinator and was truly a dream to work with. She's bubbly and friendly, but more importantly, knows what she's doing and is extremely competent and professional. When my husband and I had any ideas we got an immediate "Yes, sure, we can do that!" Everything was just easy! On the actual wedding day everything ran smoothly. Brianne and Bethany and the rest of the Diamond Mills team coordinated with our vendors, taking care of everything behind the scenes. I am a micro-manager by nature, but this day I felt completely comfortable surrendering all control to the wonderful group of professionals at Diamond Mills. Food was wonderful, drinks were flowing, and we had the best day! We really give Brianne, Bethany, and Diamond Mills credit for that!

    Best Wedding Venue in the Hudson Valley

    My husband and I were searching for a wedding venue for several months before finding Diamond Mills - a venue that has everything a bride could hope for. The hotel rooms for friends and family are stunning. The Saugerties Steamboat venue is idyllic and incredibly romantic - the perfect setting for a wedding. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced for all you get - but the best part is the wonderful staff and wedding coordinator Bethany Boyce whose title could easily be fairy godmother. I guarantee she will make all your wedding dreams come true. I truly could not recommend this place enough and I am so grateful that my husband and I found them - our wedding day will always hold a special place in my heart and I owe many thanks to Diamond Mills.

    Exceptional Staff, breathaking venue with views

    Picking a venue for our New Year's Eve date was very stressful for us. We felt alot of other places had staff that were cold, rude & unaccommodating. Not to mention we really wanted to get married on New Year's Eve which made finding a venue within our budget even more difficult. We came across Diamond Mills while spending a weekend in the area for Octoberfest. We stopped by the venue and was introduced to Brianne who was cheerful, warm and easy to speak with. After sitting down with Brianne and taking a tour of the venue, we knew this was the place where we wanted to get married. We loved coming back to Diamond Mills meet with Bethany and Brianne, they made wedding planning so easy and believe it or not - FUN! There is something to be said if the groom isn't even complaining about going to the venue for meetings. We are OBSESSED with the food at the Tavern. We lived for the wedding tastings. Brianne and Bethany was super sweet on the fact that we kept coming back to Diamond Mills to indulge ourselves with tastings. Everthing tasted amazing. Our wedding night was phenomenal!! We got married at the Tavern followed by a reception in the dining room. The staff was top notch!! All my guests were well taken care of with exceptional service. I'm still receiving compliments on how amazing the food was at our wedding. Wedding planning can be a very stressful time but we totally lucked out working with awesome people like Brianne and Bethany and the rest of the Diamond Mills staff who gave us such an incredible experience filled with nothing but awesome memories throughout our planning process. We were so impressed by the team early on that I recommended the venue to my sister who was already engaged and also was having trouble locating a venue. my sister decided to also get married at Diamond Mills in the ballroom the same year! Brianne, Bethanny and the Diamond Mills staff have been such a huge blessing to our family and we can't thank them enough for everything.

    We love ssco.

    My (now) husband and I looked at several wedding venues before looking at Saugerties Steamboat Co. We knew we didn’t want to get married in a ballroom, but we didn’t want to get married in a barn either and the SSCo. was the perfect combination of rustic yet formal. Brianne and Bethany were the absolute best to work with, both so down to earth and personable. They worked with us to make sure we stayed within budget and still had tons of options for food, drink, setup and times. Our ceremony was inside upstairs since it was a tad too windy, but the foliage was absolutely stunning the first weekend of November for pictures. It was a little chilly outside, but they had a fire going on the inside fireplace that kept it cozy and everyone flocked to. The cocktail hour was downstairs, and the reception was upstairs again. The room and layout were rearranged so quickly, and the wait staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a buffet style dinner and it worked out perfectly, the food was amazingggg! Later on, we had a fire outside where guests could cuddle up with blankets and had s’mores. Our timeline all day and night was spot on as Brianne coordinated with our DJ to keep everything on track. Overall best day of our lives and we are so happy that we chose SSCo. as our venue!

    Exceeded Expectstions

    We just got married at Diamond Mills about a week ago and could not have asked for a better venue. We booked Diamond Mills a year and a half before the big day and Bethany was helpful every step of the way! Her bubbly personality made even the most stressful details seem possible. I honestly didn’t have a single worry on the day of my wedding. Guests and vendors actually commented on “how unusually calm” I was compared to other brides on their wedding days. The food was absolutely perfect. Both Bethany and Brianne were incredibly responsive, answering last minute questions and e mails. Diamond Mills is becoming a very popular wedding venue and appears booked more than it’s not, but the attention you get from the staff at Diamond Mills makes you feel like your wedding is the only one that’s important. This is an incredibly hard to find and desired quality. Guests are still raving about the experience they had at our wedding at Diamond Mills.

    Perfect Wedding Venue

    We stumbled on Diamond Mills on our way home from having a less than stellar venue tour somewhere else. We saw the building said, “Oh that’s so pretty can we get married there?” The rest is history. Our first meeting was with Brianne and she was incredible. We wanted a different look for our wedding and the Tavern at Diamond Mills ticked all of our boxes and more (elegant, you can make the space your own, intimate wedding size, amazing food). It was even more sentimental for us that we were able to see Brianne the day of and thank her for everything she had done for us when we were working out the details in the contract. Once we did all the paperwork we started working with Bethany. We cannot say enough positive things about Bethany. She was there to answer every question, change our layout a few times, meet up with us multiple times before our move (we moved 1/2 way across the country a few months before the big day), and then phone meetings. She made sure to capture every detail. The staff the night of our wedding were incredible. Our guests loved everyone. The bar was packed, but no one waited for drinks. For those who asked for things table side, it was served swiftly. We also had quite a few food allergies, including the bride (Celiac over here). Diamond Mills tweaked the menu as needed to make sure everyone was able to enjoy each course. The groom had asked for some traditional Indian dishes to be served during cocktail hour and the chef (and Bethany) went above and beyond to create the dishes. The cake (gluten free!) was made by the in-house pastry chef, all we did was give a design idea and didn’t see it until the day of, and we were blown away. We loved the cake so much we ate 90% of the remaining tier for our breakfast dessert (yes breakfasts have dessert). Bethany, Brianne, and everyone else at Diamond Mills helped make our day perfect. We honestly would do the whole thing over again just to experience it a second time. We love Diamond Mills and know that you will too.

    Exceptional!

    My husband and I got married at the Tavern at Diamond Mills. Everything was perfect and absolutely stunning from our rehearsal dinner at the Saugerties Steamboat Co. to our post wedding Sunday brunch. The Tavern is truly one of a kind, the view of the waterfall is breathtaking and the interior is beautiful. The staff was fabulous especially, Bethany the event coordinator. She couldn't have been friendlier and more professional. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was how we envisioned. All of our guests raved about the food from the cocktail hors d'oeuvres to dessert. So many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!

    Perfect Hudson Valley Wedding Venue

    My husband and I got married at Diamond Mills last week and it was the best decision we could have made. Everything was exceptional - from the initial planning with Brianne, to creating our vision with Bethany, to the tastings with the Chef and the flawless execution day of --- Diamond Mills came through beyond our dreams. We are both from the area and were looking for a venue that could offer incredible views of the Hudson Valley, top-notch service and food that would wow our guests. We got all that and more at the Diamond Mills. Bethany and Brianne created a customized package for us, ensuring that everything from getting ready with mimosas in the morning to our after party in the Tavern was seamless and stress free. If you are looking for the perfect Hudson Valley wedding venue, Diamond Mills is it!

    Dream Wedding!

    I can't say enough about our incredible wedding and experience at Diamond Mills. When I first saw the venue over a year ago, I knew within seconds that I wanted to get married there. Everything about the space is absolutely stunning. Once we met and spoke with Bethany, Brianne, and the wonderful staff at Diamond Mills, that just solidified it. We worked with Bethany over the past year to plan our dream wedding and she is seriously incredible. I shocked all my family and friends with how calm I stayed through this entire process, but honestly, so much of that was due to Bethany! She has been so responsive, helpful, organized, and supportive throughout this process. The wedding weekend went off without a hitch and that is all thanks to the amazing staff of Diamond Mills. My guests couldn't stop raving about the stunning views and beautiful venue. Not to mention the FOOD! My husband and I are pretty big foodies so this was a big one for us- and Diamond Mills more than delivered. Hands down the best wedding food I've ever had, a sentiment shared by tons of our guests. We can't thank Bethany and the entire staff of Diamond Mills for giving us the best day of our lives! I only wish we could do it all over again!

    Elegant Wedding At Diamond Mill

    Our son's wedding at Diamond Mills this weekend was beyond beautiful! We were greeted with a champagne toast in the Grand Entrance and fabulous hors d'oeuvres followed on the stunning terrace over looking the falls. The stations for dinner were plentiful and delicious. The cake was gorgeous and the desserts high end. Bethany ( the event coordinator) attended to every possible detail. The staff was top-notch! I am a school teacher and I hardly ever give an E+....it has to be phenomenal to earn that grade...I am happy to give Diamond Mills an E+.

    My husband and I had stayed at Diamond Mills after we got engaged during a hike upstate. When it came time to choose a wedding venue, we remembered there'd been a wedding going on while we were there, and thought "Why not check out Diamond Mills?" (We'd had a great experience while we were there, from the breathtaking views to the stellar service). After one meeting with Brianne (the only venue meeting we ever had), we were eager and excited to secure our wedding at the Tavern for 9/22. We felt like we were in great hands from that initial meeting, and we were right. After meeting Bethany, our confidence only grew - the two of them together are a magical dream team! They were so accessible, knowledgeable, and reliable. Each email or question was handled with the utmost care, and every detail accounted for. Not to mention, they ensured everything went SEAMLESSLY day-of! They perfectly realized our vision for the Tavern for our wedding, and I am in awe of how amazing everything came out. It's obvious how talented and passionate these two ladies are. Regarding the venue itself, I can't tell you how many people commented about how beautiful it was, especially the view overlooking the falls. The service at DM was also exceptional. Every staff member we've encountered there has been so friendly and accommodating. And then there's the food... SO delicious! We knew to expect this after dining there and having a subsequent tasting, but they really blew us away on the big day, and everything tasted even better than we'd remembered. We cannot wait to return to DM next year for our anniversary, if not sooner! We cannot thank Bethany and Brianne enough for helping us pull off the wedding of our dreams!! THANK YOU!!

    Diamond Mills was the perfect choice for our wedding reception! It’s a breathtakingly beautiful venue, with amazing views from the back deck, top notch staff, delicious food, and an all around perfect ambiance! From the start, Brianne and Bethany went above and beyond for us to assure that every detail of the day would be perfect, which it was! They are experts at their jobs, and their passion is evident! The staff that evening was beyond attentive, and we’ve heard time and time again from our guests that the service was better than anything they’d received elsewhere! There are so many picture perfect spots to do wedding photos, and the hotel was great too for the overnight stay! Thank you for making our wedding perfect! We couldn’t have asked for anything more spectacular!!

    We had an amazing time at Saugerties Steamboat Co.! The venue was awesome and the day turned out exactly as we envisioned. We couldn't be happier with how smoothly everything went. The staff was on point and really took care of our guests throughout the night. Everyone said they had a great time! Our coordinator, Bethany, was truly amazing from start to finish. She was extremely organized, personable, accommodated our special requests, and clearly cared about us and our big day. The fact that she was so on top of it during the planning process really put us at ease. During the event, we had a few snafus but Bethany and her staff were flexible, kept us calm, and adjusted as needed. The food at Steamboat was exceptional. Everyone was really impressed with how delicious everything was. The only feedback we'd give is having better alignment between the wedding venue and the Diamond Mills' hotel properties. It required some back and forth to deal with the property manager and unfortunately the property right next door to Steamboat had a 3-night minimum that they wouldn't budge on. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience and the PERFECT day! I would highly recommend Diamond Mills and Saugerties Steamboat to others!

    I am so so happy that we chose to have our wedding at the Diamond Mills Tavern! Bethany and Brianne were great to work with. They were accomodating and flexible with our ideas and the food was great! A few small things I would have changed but it is a beautiful venue and I am glad that we spent the best day of our lives at Diamond Mills overlooking that waterfall! Definitely a day to remember!

    I cannot say enough good thing about Bethany and Brianne at Diamond Mills. They were both incredibly helpful and worked very closely with me to provide everything we needed for our wedding. We had many family members with dietary restrictions as well as myself with a nut allergy, and Bethany made sure everyone got what they needed. Our wedding was perfect and we got so many compliments from our friends both about the location as well as about the food. The pictures of the ceremony space overlooking the waterfall were incredible. I could not have been happier.

    We just our wedding at the Saugerties Steamboat Co. and we were thrilled with this venue. First of all, it is simply gorgeous. It has that beautiful as historical vibe and needs very little in the way of decor because it is perfect ... just as it is ! Combine that with a killer view of the Creek & River, and the amazing food and beverage services offered by the Diamond Mills Hotel and you’ve got yourself a winner . Bethany and Brianne were both pleasures to work with and went out of their way to accommodate all requests. Food was fabulous and we had an absolutely amazing experience.

    My husband and I got married on 7/14/18, and we are so glad we picked Diamond Mills for our ceremony and reception venue!!!! From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere and the view of the falls is absolutely breathtaking. The food at our tasting was decadent, and generous. But the Absolute BEST part about booking Diamond Mills is their event coordinator, Bethany! She is quick to respond to questions and changes with ease; she makes everything run so seamlessly that you'd never know if there was a mishap. The flowers from the wedding the night before were still up; and with some quick thinking on her feet, Bethany transformed the wedding arch in a matter of minutes so we could make it our own. During the ceremony, my Maid of Honor left my vows in the bridal suite, but Bethany had them in her hands before anyone noticed. Bethany is hands down, the best thing to happen to Diamond Mills, and our wedding day was superb thanks to the incredible staff at Diamond Mills, including Bethany, Brianne, and the hotel and tavern staff. The guests are still raving about the wedding!!!
    All our love, Sarah & Adam Duff

    Highly Recommended! We had our wedding reception at Diamond Mills on Friday, June 22nd 2018 and were beyond pleased with how everything went! Bethany and the entire crew at DM were so organized and on top of everything. From the day we first toured the property, to the day we packed up after the wedding, everything went so much smoother than I could have imagined.

    Bethany was AMAZING and SO helpful from day one. She took away a ton of the stress that goes into planning a wedding. Everything was so well organized and thought out, especially the "homework packets" she had put together for planning purposes. She was so on top of even then smallest details, that it truly made me feel at ease.

    From the moment I came down the stairs (before leaving for the church), I was so impressed with the decorations and how everything came together. EVERYTHING WAS LITERALLY PERFECT!!! Oh, and they even let us take photos at their sister property down the hill!

    My parents and all of the guests were raving about the food, the drinks, etc. Everyone in attendance was so pleased with the choices both during cocktail hour, and dinner. I could go on and on, but I will leave it at that! Thank you again to the entire staff at Diamond Mills! You made it a true dream wedding! xo

    Our wedding day was perfect. Rustic chic, elegant, great service. Amazon food. If I could do it all over again I wouldn’t change a thing.

    If possible, I would give Diamond Mills more than 5 stars! We are in the position to comment on the Diamond Mills wedding event staff and the hotel, as well as the Saugerties Steamboat Co. We had a large wedding (250 people) in Diamond Mills ballroom, so we took down the hotel for the entire weekend and hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome reception at the SSC. Words cannot express how happy we were with the entire experience. The team (Laurie, Bethany, and Gina) was top notch. Fun and professional. Responsive to my multitude of questions. Accommodating. It was hard to find a venue that fit our event size, aesthetic (inside and outside), and budget. Everyone asked us why we were hosting our wedding in Saugerties and not in NYC. Those questions stopped when folks arrived in Saugerties and saw the beauty of the town and the venue. Gorgeous views. Lovely rooms. Awesome food both in town and at the DM Tavern. We had our ceremony on the balcony above the Esopus River. It could not have been more beautiful. Many people said that they will return to Saugerties and to Diamond Mills. We certainly will. We HIGHLY recommend Diamond Mills!

    We got married at Diamond Mills on 11/4/17 in the Tavern. From the beginning of our planning, to the day of our wedding, everything was perfect. Bethany and her team were extremely accommodating to our needs and they perfectly executed the vision we had for our wedding. All I can do is write praises for this venue and most of all Bethany because we had the most beautiful day we could have ever dreamed of. If you are looking for an amazing venue with a great view and fantastic food this place is perfect for you : )

    We cannot say enough good things about Diamond Mills and their staff. From the day we first went for a tour up until our wedding brunch, everyone here went above and beyond to make our wedding special. We got married in the tavern with the stations package and our guests cannot stop commenting about the venue and the food. We've had many people confess that it was the best wedding they've ever attended. Bethany, Gina, and the entire DM team helped to make our weekend better than we ever could have dreamed. Choosing Diamond Mills is one of the best wedding decisions you can make.

    If you are planning a wedding & want a venue with an exceptional staff who truly cares about making your day perfect then Diamond Mills is for you! If it weren't for Bethany, I don't know if I could've pulled off our wedding. My husband & I are from N.Y., but were stationed in OK throughout our planning process. We wanted nothing more than to come home for our wedding, but we knew planning long distance would not be easy. Bethany helped to make everything as easy as she possibly could. Whenever we were home during the year leading up to the big day, we would stop in & check up on things. She was always quick to get back to me, & even emailed this week to wish us a happy 1st anniversary! The weekend of the wedding she helped unload cars & literally read my mind on how I wanted things set up. She's truly fantastic at what she does. Despite the blizzard outside on our wedding day, the entire staff worked full force to pull evferything off without a hitch. We are now coming up on our one year anniversary (1 week away), & when we were at a family members wedding last month there were still people coming up to me complimenting how delicious the food was at our wedding! It was definitely not your typical wedding food. We had an abundance of options during cocktail hour such as passed appetizers, a carving station, a Tuscan table, a Mediterranean table, an Asian station etc. At the reception we started with lobster ravioli, then guests had a choice of 3 diffeeeeht entrees, and of course dessert which included wedding cake & a Viennese table with 7 other dessert options! It was all incredible. We were lucky enough to have the Esopus river lit the entire night, and capped the night off with an after party in the bar at the tavern. The following morning our guests who stayed at the hotel and other local guests joined us in the tavern for a beautiful brunch. We will be returning to DM next Saturday for our 1 year anniversary dinner!

    Being that my fiancé and I were getting our wedding together in a short three month window we needed luck on our side. Little did we know what a rustic gem we were walking into when we found the Saugerties Steamboat Co. Just two weeks after our engagement we were planning to tour both the Steamboat house, as well as the beautiful space at the Diamond Mill's hotel, but upon crossing the doorway into lower level of the former we were in love with it. Bethany greeted us, we were quick to tell her we were already sold, and we got to work from there. Our second great surprise was just how helpful and resourceful Bethany was. She was with us every step from that day forward: securing our date, helping us polish the menu and cake options, and most importantly providing us with a list of vendors whom came together to make every moment an absolute dream. With the full facilities of Diamond Mills for bridal party preparations, the delicious culinary masterpieces of Chef Napoli, the rich natural beauty of the Esopus Creek as a picturesque backdrop, and the hard work of an incredible staff, with Bethany's expert guidance and endless optimism (we even managed to dodge an imminent storm) leading the way, you simply have to choose the Saugerties Steamboat Co. without second thought.

    We had the wedding of our dreams at Diamond Mills. Every step of the process was handled beautifully by Bethany, who was cheerful and responsive and seemed genuinely excited to be planning our wedding with us. I had lots of ideas for how I wanted to reception area to look and small touches I wanted included, and Bethany seamlessly made all of my plans a reality. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch; I got ready at the venue in the beautiful bridal suite which makes a great backdrop for photos, the ballroom was breathtaking, and all of our guests commented on how lovely the surroundings were and how good the food was! There is so much natural beauty at Diamond Mills which made it a big selling point, and it did not disappoint at our reception. The patio overlooks the waterfalls and it made a lovely location for the cocktail hour and for people to step outside throughout the reception, and the waterfalls made an absolutely breathtaking background for our photos. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

    I don’t even know how to begin to write a review for Diamond Mills as our entire experience there was simply indescribable. My now husband and I knew that we wanted something somewhat unique and a little more relaxed when looking for a venue. As soon as we walked into The Tavern, with its somewhat rustic, yet elegant appearance overlooking the falls, we knew that was the place for us. I simply cannot speak highly enough about the staff that worked so closely with us throughout the entire process. Bethany was absolutely incredible! She was always in close contact, worked to answer any questions guiding us through the entire process and most importantly, genuinely cared and was so excited for us. On the day of, she worked with all of our vendors and exceeded every expectation. Our guests continue to reach out to express how much fun they had and we have heard on countless occasions, “That was the absolute best wedding we’ve ever been to”. Quality service. Exceptional food. Perfect execution on the day of. Caring staff. Beautiful views! I simply cannot say enough! If we could do it all over again we would choose Diamond Mills every time! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

    My husband and I had our wedding at Diamond Mills and had a wonderful experience! Bethany is truly amazing and was so easy to work with. We chose Diamond Mills because we wanted an "estate" and private feeling, while having all the accommodations of a wedding venue. In addition to booking the ballroom, we were able to reserve the entire hotel for our guests, have the after party at the gatsby-esque tavern, and brunch the next day at the restaurant! We loved that Diamond Mills had so many options on one property of where to host events for the wedding weekend and made it such a wonderful experience. Our guests still rave about how amazing our wedding was and how everything was top quality. This venue is FAR beyond any competing wedding venue in the Hudson Valley and is perfect for couples looking for a sophisticated, stunning and memorable wedding. Thank you Bethany and Laurie!!!

    We had a beautiful, bicycle-themed wedding at Diamond Mills on 4/30/17. Even though it lightly rained off & on earlier in the day, we were still able to have the ceremony outdoors, with the gorgeous Esopus waterfall in the background. We were even able to bike into the reception area following the ceremony. Guests were able to relax on the deck by the falls during the reception as well. Bethany, the amazing event coordinator at Diamond Mills, is so sweet & was extremely helpful before & during the event. Huge thanks to Bethany! Food, drinks & service were top notch. Guests raved about how much they loved the wedding & location. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding day & venue!

    The reason that this venue is getting a good review is BETHANY! She is absolutely amazing and so good at her job. She is the one who helped me through everything from beginning to end. All of my questions she had a perfect answer or solution. I had absolute confiendence in her to do an amazing job, and she blew me away by going above and beyond for not only me, but for everyone. The venue service staff was accommodating and helpful as well. In addition to Bethany's services is a breathtaking view of the waterfalls where we had our ceremony on the terrace, and the gorgeous building and grounds. Thank you Bethany for a perfect day!

    The only problem I had with the venue was the hotel. I left my fitbit watch charging in the wall and my bouquet of flowers in a vase of water. I noticed immediately, but neither of them were ever found by the hotel staff. I called the day I checked out and the hotel staff told me that they checked and they saw nothing, then went back to the hotel to talk to the manager. I just felt frustrated that someone must have taken my watch and threw away my flowers, while feeling that my problem wasn't really considered by hotel staff. I am at fault for forgetting them, but can't help but feel frustrated that they disappeared. Again, this is totally unrelated from the amazing wedding I had and the wonderful work of Bethany and her staff. I just wanted to share my frustrating experience with the hotel. This was a minor thing in the whole scheme of the wedding day!

    Ryan and I were SO HAPPY with our venue choice! Diamond Mills - where do we start. I mean, it has a waterfall! The venue and grounds are stunning. We are from Albany, NY and had a venue closer to home in mind for our wedding. We were visiting Diamond Mills so that we could say "we looked at enough places." When we drove down for a visit though, our plans changed. Bethany was the first person we met and would turn out to be the best event planner ever! She was so warm and welcoming from the first moment we met and throughout the planning humored my Project Manager ways - too many questions, my own floor plans (which made her laugh) and TRYING to do her job so she didn't have to. Our trust in her allowed me to sit back and focus on the things I needed to and let her handle all the other stuff. She was invaluable and made our wedding planning and day FUN. In addition Laurie was wonderful to work with to book the space and all the initial planning. The Diamond Mills staff was wonderful the day/night of as well - many guests commented about how there was always someone there asking if they needed anything. And the hotel staff was wonderful; accommodating guests who filled the entire hotel that night. Overall we could not have asked for a better experience and would HIGHLY recommend this wedding venue.

    My husband and I got married at Diamond Mills on 10/22/16 and the wonderful staff made sure our day ran as smoothly as possible! We had a small bridal party so we had more than enough room in the gorgeous bridal suite to get ready, and the boys had the conference room overlooking the exceptional falls. They were so accommodating for my sister who came early to decorate, and our hotel room for the night was so classy and comfortable! I’ve had the honor to be one of Laurie Hicinbothem’s first students and to get married at her new place of work felt surreal and full-circle. Her and Bethany go above and beyond to make your day the best it can be! Every time an idea or worry would pop into my head (which was many, we booked Diamond Mills two years in advance!) I would email Bethany and she would take my stress away. My husband and I are so glad we chose Diamond Mills as our wedding venue. It’s such a beautiful building and the grounds are picture perfect. It rained on our wedding day, but that didn’t stop us from capturing breathtaking shots overlooking the falls. The interior is absolutely stunning; you will not be disappointed with all of the photo opportunities! The food was fantastic and you AND your guests will be treated like royalty.

    We celebrated our wedding on 11/11/16 and cannot express how wonderful the staff, especially Bethany, made our day absolutely perfect! Every step of the way from when we first visited to the end of the wedding was met with professionalism and quality service. You can tell that they love what they do!! Leading up to the event being an out of state bride, Bethany was always quick to answer our emails and get us all the info we needed! It was always a, "Yes, sure we can do that, no problem" response which took a lot of stress away. During the wedding the waite staff were on top of what we needed and made sure we had plenty to eat and drink all night. I was never with an empty drink in hand and was actually able to sit and eat most of my meal. The rest they sent up to our room for a well needed snack later! Our guests were very impressed with the quantity service and beautiful venue. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was, we can't wait to go back and celebrate our 1 year anniversary.

    We had our ceremony and reception at the Diamond Mills in the Fall of 2016. It was a SPECTACULAR experience all around. What a beautiful venue and the view is just remarkable. They have a wonderful bridal suite where my bridal party got to relax and drink champagne while getting our hair and makeup done. The men had their own room which was overlooking the falls. We had our ceremony outside which was right in front of the waterfalls. You could not ask for a better location. Our wedding photos are phenomenal. Bethany, the event coordinator, made sure every detail of the wedding matched my vision and she was there the whole night to make sure everything went smoothly. She was immensely helpful during the wedding planning process, too. From start to finish every staff member was attentive, friendly, and professional. I really felt like the staff there went above and beyond. Our guests raved about the hors d’oeuvres, the entrees, and the cake! Their pastry chef even perfectly replicated a lumberjack groom’s cake as a surprise for my husband. The entire day was beautiful and elegant. It was such a memorable experience. Many thanks to Bethany Boyce & Tom Struzzieri.
