Diamond Mills is an absolutely beautiful venue and the staff did an excellent job guiding us through the wedding planning process. Brianne and Stephanie are wedding experts and helped make our dream wedding a reality.

Our guests were also impressed with the professionalism of the service staff and thoroughly enjoyed the wide array of delicious food and beverage options.

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! -

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! -

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!!!! -

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 -

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! -

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. -

Amanda Sent on 01/08/2023Best 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!!!! -

Sara Sent on 11/30/2022Our 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! -

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! -

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! -

Oshaena Sent on 01/25/2022Wouldn'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! -

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! 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 :) -

Taylor Sent on 11/14/2021A 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! -

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. -

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. -

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! -

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! -

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. -

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. -

Gina Sent on 05/28/2021An 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!!!! -

Michael Sent on 12/20/2020Perfect 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! -

Megan Sent on 05/26/2020Our 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.
