A Beautiful Venue with Exceptional Food and Service
We could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding than Red Hat on the River. We loved the beautiful Hudson River views and the breeze from the water, and the brick architecture gave the space such a beautiful, warm, and distinctive feel. It was the perfect setting for the intimate wedding we envisioned.
Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. We planned our wedding in just four weeks, and she handled our very tight timeline so smoothly. She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and accommodating, including working with us on our contract to accommodate a complex health situation. She was also flexible with our menu, the locations of different events, and rentals, and was always willing to help us figure out whatever we needed.
And the FOOD. Our guests kept telling us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. The lobster rolls were outstanding, and Michelle made recommendations that we probably wouldn't have chosen ourselves but are SO glad we did (don't skip the fried eggplant!!!). The food was so good that people were taking their leftovers from dinner home!
The staff were wonderful too. They were attentive without being intrusive, always making sure everyone had a drink (which were also fantastic), and were so warm and welcoming throughout the evening. Everything felt seamless, and we never had to worry about whether our guests were being taken care of. They helped create the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that made the night feel more like a special dinner with family and friends than a formal wedding reception.
Because we had a small group, the whole evening felt incredibly intimate, almost like a big family dinner, which was exactly what we wanted. Most importantly, I felt completely relaxed on our wedding day because I knew Michelle had everything under control. That is such an incredible gift on a wedding day.
We had the most beautiful, fun, and stress-free evening, and I honestly can't wait to go back to Red Hat for dinner and to celebrate future anniversaries and other big life events. We are so grateful we chose this place for our wedding day! -

Beautiful venue and easy stress free wedding planning
A beautiful venue with an incredible staff. Michelle was wonderful to work with. Her communication and reassurances left us feeling stress free and she had excellent ideas and suggestions. I couldn't have asked for anything more! -

Engagement Party
Michelle VanNess was super helpful in arranging our engagement party! She was as easily reachable for all my questions and gave sage advice when asked. The Red Hat on Hudson is an ideal location- conveniently located at a metro North train station for our city guests, breathtaking views of Hudson River and Palisades , delicious food and homey atmosphere!
Recommend highly and hope to host another party there! -

The wedding of my dreams that I didn’t realize I wanted.
My husband and I knew we did not want a big wedding and we certainly did not want it in a traditional wedding hall. We stumbled on Red Hat on the River by way of loving it as a restaurant. When I realized they did weddings I began to inquire. At first it seemed out of our budget but we spoke with their wedding coordinator and she was able to work within our budget to find us a day, time and menu that fit our needs. The whole team at Red Hat was responsive, professional and attentive every step of the way. We were wary at first of using Red Hat’s dedicated florist but we were also not disappointed at all with the flowers. They were beautiful and family and friends still talk about the centerpieces and still asking if I have any of the vases leftover. The food was amazing. Our signature drink was a great hit. Guests loved the location and how much we enoyed the view of the Hudson River. The best compliment you can get from a loved one is “I loved your wedding. It was perfect. It was classy. It was an adult wedding!” I always knew I didn’t want a wedding reception in a wedding factory. Red Hat on the River was full of character, charm, style and beauty with great food and drink. It was the wedding of my dreams that I never realized I wanted. Thank you to Michelle and her team and to my husband who refused to elope!

We loved working with them to see the vision of our reception come to life.
Everyone (Jimmy, Guicy, Michelle....) was so eager & excited to work with us to make our reception the great party we envisioned. They created food especially for the vegetarian bride, worked easily with vendors, accommodated our large band, & bent over backwards to make our party a blast! The venue is classic & gorgeous & the sunsets over the hudson river are stunning. A bonus is how accessible it is from NYC on public transportation. We still go there as often as possible for dinner & re-live the night w/staff. -

2016 Wedding
My husband and I had our dream wedding at Red Hat. Michelle, the event coordinator, was easy to work with. The venue was very flexible regarding menu, decoration, and set up. Two years plus later and people are still remarking about the delicious and plentiful menu options. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional. We had a full dance floor, and photobooth with no space issues. Our dogs were even allowed to be part of our beautiful ceremony. Finally, the venue and surrounding area was perfect for our wedding photos. I definitely recommend contacting Red Hat on the River for your special day.-
