    Outstanding.!!!!!

    My husband and I recently got married at the Briarcliff Manor on November 3. Our wedding was perfect, and the outcome was better than we envisioned thanks to the venue’s entire team. We had nothing but positive experiences with the Briarcliff Manor since the day we went to inquire about the venue. The staff were all professional, friendly, and attentive. Perry, Vincenza and Emily made us both feel welcomed and as if we were part of family since the day we chose the Venue.

    We decided to chose Vincenza for the decorations, and she did an amazing job with everything. She was very attentive to detail, she understood my vision, provided great input, and worked with our budget.

    All our meetings with Emily went well. She is very friendly, professional and accommodating as well. She always explained everything to us thoroughly and answered all of our questions. The day of tasting was incredible. Everything we ate during the tasting was spectacular, making it difficult to narrow down the options. She provide a great input for us to design our menu.

    The wedding day went flawlessly thanks to the venue’s day of coordinators, the bridal’s attendants and the groom’s attendants. We would like to give a special thank you to Stephanie and Chris, who went above and beyond that day. Stephanie and Chris were on top of everything, and they made sure the wedding went as scheduled. They were like two angels sent from above. Thanks to them we did not have to worry about anything that day.

    We would also like to thank all the other staff such as the waiters, the bartenders and the kitchen staff who all provided excellent service. They all made the experience a memorable one.

    We would definitely recommend this venue to any couple. We were very pleased with our experience at The Briarcliff Manor, and once again, thank you all, Perry, Vincenza, Emily, Kelsey, Stephanie, Chris and the rest of the Briarcliff Manor team.

    Beautiful venue, great service, delicious food

    We absolutely loved our wedding (8/28/22) at The Briarcliff Manor! The location (outdoor and indoor settings) were stunning, and our guests keep raving about the setting and the FOOD! The food was absolutely delicious, including both cocktail hour and dinner. The waitstaff and attendants were incredibly friendly and helpful. Perry, Vincenza, Emily, Stephanie, Ava, and team were fantastic. We hired Emily as our 3 Month and Day-Of Coordinator, and she helped us stay organized and feel assured with all details and choices we had to make. We knew they were very busy with a packed (and backlogged) wedding season, so there were times that we were nervous they didn't have complete bandwidth for us. But, as we suspected all through the process, everything came together beautifully in the end, and the day of was seamless and stress-free. Emily, Stephanie, Ava and staff did a great job keeping us focused on what mattered while they handled all the details. Worthwhile to know that bridal parties cannot get fully ready at the manor, but we had a very smooth experience getting ready at the hotel (Sonesta), and then shuttling to the manor early (we paid for two extra hours of time) for photos and final prep. The Briarcliff Manor is easy to get to from the city and of course from Westchester, with plenty of parking. It was the perfect "Hudson Valley wedding" nearby the city. Highly recommended!

    Nothing short of amazing!!!

    A lot goes into planning a wedding, but the venue truly sets the vibe. The BCM was the perfect, intimate, and elegant setting. It was exactly what we wanted and we were so happy with our overall experience.

    Best day ever!

    We couldn’t be more thrilled that we picked The Briarcliff Manor for our wedding venue. The place is gorgeous and so well kept! We were planning to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside but unfortunately it rained. Perry, Emily, and the rest of the staff pivoted quickly and gave us a solid indoor plan, even with a party of 160 people. The reviews we’ve received from our guests have been nothing but raving. The food was incredible and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. Best day of our lives. Highly recommend!!

    Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day

    From the moment we walked into Briarcliff, we knew this was the venue for us. Beyond just "a feeling" - everything objectively speaking was on point - the service (shout out to Emily King), the food, and the day of help exceeded all expectations.

    Delightful

    My husband and I visited 4 different venues before the Briarcliff manor. As we drove into the lot we were so amazed of how beautiful the manor is and once we stepped inside we were in AWE. I mean the place is beautiful insides and out.

    Once we sat with Emily and Vincenza, they both thoroughly explained how they can bring our vision to life and we were IN LOVE. We knew this was it and the search had come to an end!!

    They stressed how the food was as IMPORTANT to them as the decor/look, and for us that was music to our ears! We are family oriented and the Briarcliff Manor made our wedding day both BIG and intimate. I worked personally with them for months, and I am so grateful for their patience because I called for every little thing and they always made time for me. My family and my friends couldn’t get enough of the place and all their service! They were so kind, respectful, attentive. Everything felt so easy because Emily and Vincenza had my back!!!

    I recommend the manor to all of my friends/family. I know I would be planning any event here!!!

    Legendary Venue for Storybook Weddings

    I just want to say that choosing the Briarcliff Manor was absolutely the best and most important decision that we made in our wedding planning. We just had our wedding last Saturday, Dec 18th 2021, during the omicron surge. The Briarcliff Manor was flexible with the minimum guest count considering the situation, and our lower guest count coupled with their wonderful room layout and service made our wedding cozy and legendary. We had a picky vision - we wanted our wedding to be classic and intimate yet easy going - for example, my gown was a full blown princess ball gown from Kleinfeld, but we still wanted a less formal vibe for the guests’ comfort. This was only possible because of the great combination of Perry’s family style hospitality, Emily’s steadfast coordination and Jimmy’s professional white glove table service. Every single one of our guests had a smile from ear to ear every moment. The food was worth five times the price. Especially their passed hor d'oeuvres were so delicious. Their entree quality and enormous variety of great desserts were talked about by our guests even days later. We were so concerned waking up on a rainy day for our wedding in December. But the mist outside and the beautiful staircase and lit fireplace inside were more than enough for the magic (and photographs). All the vendors that they recommended were good - particularly our MC, Joe at Big Town Productions was exceptional!! We didn’t prepare wedding favors. But Emily coordinated hundreds of individually wrapped chocolate covered strawberries for us to give out. They were perfectly presented for our guests at the exit, and everyone loved them. Overall, our wedding was beyond our dreams, more perfect than we ever imagined. Just a perfect story book wedding with the Briarcliff Manor family. No other venue could possibly have done better for us.

    Beautiful Wedding and Pleasant Experience!

    Emily and the entire staff at the Briarcliff helped to make our wedding a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our wedding had to be pushed back due to COVID & they were accommodating. Communication with staff was excellent. Emily was super helpful with all little details. During the wedding itself, ALL staff were beyond gracious, attentive, and professional. The venue was decorated beautifully - both indoors and outdoors. And the food! We got so many compliments on how excellent the food was, particularly the cocktail hour. I hope someone else I know gets married here so that I can be a guest at the Briarcliff again!

    Short Planning Window with Impeccable Service

    Our first venue cancelled three weeks from the wedding and we were fortunate to find The Briarcliff Manor had availability. Within this short window to plan the wedding, we were able to create a memorable experience.

    Perry, the owner was able to delicately balance the safety of all the guests with everyone's desire to have fun at our wedding celebration. All the guests raved over the food which complimented the beautiful surroundings.

    We highly recommend this venue!

    The Briarcliff Manor's reply:

    Such a pleasure to be able to help you and your families celebrate your love on such short notice! Thank you Lauren and Chris for giving us the opportunity to work with you, and for the kind words! We hope we'll see you back at The Briarcliff Manor soon!

    Briarcliff Bride

    My wedding at The Briarcliff Manor was an absolute DREAM. We had the added bonus of planning through Covid, but the owner Perry and the venue coordinator Emily were consistent in answering all my bride woes and worries with complete reassurance that everything would go as planned-and it did!! I was a bride who also had a very specific vision and a lot of personal decor that I brought myself for the wedding day, and the staff truly went beyond in setting up everything exactly as I had planned with no hesitation. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the great people who make the magic happen at Briarcliff. All of my guests raved about the beauty of the Manor, how great the food was (which is made to order on the night of the wedding!) and that it was one of the most seamless elegant weddings they’ve been to-a credit I can give wholeheartedly to the venue. Do not hesitate to have your wedding here!!

    To the team at The Briarcliff Manor,

    Wedding Day: 6/17/2021

    A special thank you from the new Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez

    From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank you for an amazing ceremony and reception at your venue. Your team's attention to detail, hospitality, and professionalism for our wedding was exceptional. From the planning stages to the actual day, Emily, Vincenza, Meghan, Logan, and the catering team were wonderful. We were incredibly happy with the decorations, coordination, and service. For the reception, we want to specially thank Jimmy for the great hospitality. The guests thought his service was above and beyond, and he even gave us a suggestion for a nice photo angle with champagne glasses. That day was the most memorable day of our lives, thank you all for making it possible.

    With Love,
    Kristel and Jorge

    A perfect wedding at a beautiful wedding!

    We got married in May 2021 and had the best experience with The Briarcliff Manor. We loved working with Perry, Emily, and Vincenza. We felt like we were home from the first meeting we had at the Manor in December of 2019, and everything that followed (even through COVID) was as seamless as possible. Our actual wedding day was perfect. The staff was very attentive, personable, approachable, and always made sure that we were having a great time. We received great reviews on the food (both cocktail hour and dinner), the ceremony decor, as well as the overall beauty of the venue. We will remember our wedding day forever and a big part of why it was so special was that we chose the perfect venue for us and our guests.

    Perfect Venue

    I just had my daughter’s baby shower at The Briarcliff Manor and could not be happier with how everything went! Perry, Vincenza, Emily, Kelsey, and all of the staff at The Briarcliff Manor are the best to work with. They make the entire planning process - from our very first meeting to the selection of food and decor - seamless and enjoyable. They go above and beyond to ensure that your vision comes to life and that you have a unique and personalized event. Vincenza even provides custom decorations and flowers, which all turn out to be absolutely beautiful. Emily is so professional and even created an itinerary for the day, which was very helpful in keeping track of time during the event. The wait staff are truly professional and are friendly and attentive to all the needs of guests. Thank you to everyone at The Briarcliff Manor for making this special day an unforgettable and beautiful moment!

    THANK YOU to The Briarcliff Manor!!

    The Briarcliff Manor is absolutely amazing! The venue is well maintained and has beautiful views of the Hudson River. Being a covid bride had it's many challenges, but working with The Briarcliff Manor team was not one of them. Perry, Emily, Kelsey and Vincenza were a pleasure to work with. They were extremely flexible and understanding when we needed to postpone our wedding from early June to late September. They walked us through all of our options and were always open and honest about what to expect. We were able to shift and re-imagine our wedding day under new circumstances without any issues. Emily and Kelsey were always friendly, responsive and helpful, even when I had a million questions. Vincenza, the in-house decorator/florist, was amazing as well. She was so easy to work with and nailed all the details we had asked for! Our bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony arch were gorgeous! The entire team and staff helped us have the perfect day. All of the food was delicious; I've had all of our guests tell us how great the food was! The staff was super attentive, friendly and extremely organized. All of the covid guidelines they had in place helped make our guests feel safe and comfortable. Thank you again to the entire team at The Briarcliff Manor! If you're getting married, this is the place to go!

    Can’t cancel love

    Perry helped us out when we were in a scramble to find a new venue in less than a month. Not only was he accommodating and reasonable, he was personable and treated us like family. His staff made the night run smooth and a good time was had by all. The grounds, building, and setting are meticulously maintained and it is evident. You won’t be disappointed if you put your trust in the Briarcliff Manor team to coordinate your special day.

    Seriously the BEST!!

    I just had my bridal shower at The Briarcliff Manor and I could not have asked for anything better! The venue was gorgeous, clean and so beautifully decorated. All the guests are still raving about how delicious and how much food there was! All staff was so sweet and patient with any last minute requests. Perry, Enza and staff were so polite and accommodating taking care of every single detail. I felt like I was family being taken care of! Do yourself a favor and book your next event here, your guests will have so many gorgeous pictures to take, so much good food to eat and will be talking about how perfect it was weeks after! Thank you to The Briarcliff Manor for such a PERFECT day!!

    They go above and beyond!

    I couldn’t say enough of how amazing The Briarcliff Manor is! They made my special day beyond anything I could have imagined it to be. I planned my wedding pretty quickly but my original plans couldn’t go threw due to the storm Westchester NY had 2 days prior to my wedding where my venue lost power and wasn’t sure if they would have it back in time. My aunt reached out to the Owner Perry to see if he could help and boy did he go above and beyond to help us out. With out hesitation he had us come to the Manor and get everything figured out the day before my wedding mind you. He got all his vendors to get me everything I needed and it was more then I could ever imagined. The staff at The Briarcliff Manor made sure I had the most amazing wedding day and it couldn’t have happened with out them!

    The Briarcliff Manor goes above and beyond!!!

    If you want everything to go smoothly on your wedding day, then book with The Briarcliff Manor. From the initial conversation with the owner, up until we said goodnight on our wedding day, everything went so seamlessly. They handled every hiccup and bump in the road before I even caught wind of it. Truly, a bride’s dream. The entire team here treated us like they knew us personally, not like just another event in their books. Everyone here worked with us to help us create the wedding of our dreams. They handled everything proactively and with professionalism. Not to mention, the venue is GORGEOUS. Every picture comes out stunning! Our guests were truly impressed! The food was fantastic and there was plenty to go around. Their list of preferred vendors is fantastic- our wedding cake was the best cake I’ve had at any wedding. Their in-house decorator is worth every penny- she made everything absolutely stunning. The team at The Briarcliff Manor are pros at hosting beautiful events and take pride in their work. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect!

    Stress Free

    SO supportive!

    The Briarcliff Manor team was so extremely supportive during our March wedding, which was impacted by Covid-19. They were flexible with our quickly diminishing guest count, they were warm and encouraging, and they helped us through every step of the way and made it feel as special as possible. Given the rapidly changing circumstances around Covid-19, they were incredibly accommodating to some of our last minute changes, which we were very grateful for. Our wedding was not at all how we imagined it would be, but it was still the best day of our lives because of this team, and Emily in particular. We are so grateful!

Our day was truly special, it proves that fairy tale weddings do come true !!

Thank you to The Briarcliff Manor for making our wedding day so perfect!

    Beautiful September Wedding

    We just had our wedding there and cannot day enough good things. Perry, Emily and the entire Briarcliff Manor crew were amazing. They helped us plan a beautiful wedding in less than 2 months. The food was excellent, service was phenomenal and the venue was beautiful. The attention to detail, caring nature and expertise was evident during planning and the day of our wedding. There are recommended vendors that they don’t pressure you to use; however, they are great options and truly work seamlessly with TBM. We used Vincenza for flowers and the venue and church decor. Everything was absolutely beautifully done and we have been receiving nonstop compliments from our guests. We can’t wait to host other events at the manor!
