Perfect Wedding Venue
We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at The Garrison!
The location is absolutely stunning, and the layout of the outdoor ceremony garden, cocktail hour room, reception room, and additional outdoor space worked incredibly well! We also got so many compliments on the food!
While the venue itself is amazing, the team at The Garrison is what really sets it apart and what made our day so incredible. Annie, our wedding coordinator, was such a pleasure to work with and made the entire planning process leading up to the wedding as well as the wedding day itself as seamless as possible. Her professionalism, expertise, and care really made it a perfect day.
The Garrison also has an incredible list of preferred vendors. We ended up choosing nearly all of our vendors from their list and could not be more happy with how everything turned out!
Overall, we can't recommend The Garrison highly enough! -

Perfect venue for a wedding
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue and the entire team. Our wedding day was genuinely the best day of our lives, and that is largely thanks to Annie, Fatmira, and everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes.
From the moment the day began, they made everything feel seamless and stress-free. Annie and Fatmira went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy each moment. Their professionalism, kindness, and calm energy made such a difference.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The views were breathtaking and created the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and photos. Both we and our immediate families stayed at the Inn on-site, and the rooms were perfect, comfortable, clean, and such a special part of the overall experience. Our guests also loved staying in the Inn rooms. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready; it was spacious, beautiful, and a relaxing place to spend the morning with my bridesmaids.
We have received countless compliments from our guests not only about the gorgeous venue, but also about the incredible food and the outstanding service. Everything truly exceeded our expectations.
We are forever grateful for the care, effort, and heart that went into making our wedding day so special. We highly, highly recommend this venue and team to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

Best Place for a Wedding
We got married at the Garrison on 9/5/2025. We could not imagine having a wedding anywhere else, everything from top to bottom was phenomenal. The professionalism and attentiveness from the staff on the day of our wedding was unmatched, they were extremely accommodating and treated us like royalty! The staff was exceptional in setting everything up and preparing everything for us, and made sure everything went completely smoothly. The food was spectacular! The view was spectacular! Your guests will remember it. It was so incredibly easy working with everyone here and we would recommend them over any Hudson Valley venue! Thanks again to the Garrison for making our wedding so special and memorable -

Absolutely beautiful!
Many, many thanks to Annie Rozycki for her phenomenal help and expertise in help planning, coordinating, and pulling off a breathtakingly beautiful wedding. Annie’s professionalism, ease and fun to work with, to her attention to intricate details and just her overall willingness to make sure our day went perfectly, exceeded all of our expectations and then some! From the stunning and spectacular views of The Garrison, to the sunset which was amazing, to the food that was absolutely delicious, and professional and friendly staff. Our guests raved about the venue and we highly recommend having your wedding at this stunning location. Every detail was spectacular and exactly what we wanted. Annie, you are truly the best! Thank you for sharing our very special day with us! You made our dream come true!-

We love The Garrison!
We had a wonderful wedding at The Garrison in August in 2024- from the minute we saw this breathtaking venue, we knew it was a special place where we could see ourselves spending one of the most important days of our life. I immediately got in touch with Bridget, who from day one was super accessible, transparent, kind and willing to work with us. Bridget walked us through the entire planning process, from a tasting where we were made to feel super special by the wonderful Fatima (who ended up being our day of attendant and was AWESOME) to every last detail of our special day. The venue itself is gorgeous, the sunset over the mountains, the floor to ceiling windows, the beautifully maintained grounds - our guests were in AWE. The staff was wonderful, they made sure to treat our wedding party extra special and gave great service to our guests. My morning getting ready in the bridal suite was peaceful and easy and Bridget and Fatima kept things on task. We knew our day was in great hands with Bridget and the team at The Garrison and we can't thank them enough for making our wedding such a memorable and beautiful day. -

We LOVED The Garrison!
We LOVED having our wedding at the Garrison!!! We were blown away by the idyllic views and grounds and beautiful reception space. Even though we lucked out with the weather, I appreciated that their indoor ceremony space also overlooked the beautiful scenery, and that even during the reception, our guests could admire the view and sunset. We can't count the amount of compliments we got from our guests on The Garrison, from how beautiful the space and views were to how great the food and staff were. I also loved that we were the only wedding held that day so I had access to the bridal suite (which is really big and comfortable) for the entire day. We worked with Annie as our day-of-coordinator, and she was AMAZING!! She is a total pro, and throughout the entire wedding planning process she was so helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable. Annie coordinated with our other vendors and helped us get every detail in order so that during the actual day, everything went so smoothly and we didn't have to worry about any logistics. Our whole experience with The Garrison was seamless, and we would recommend that everyone have their wedding there! -

Would Choose This Venue Over and Over
Words cannot describe how perfect and flawless our wedding day was at The Garrison.
We looked at several venues but once we stepped inside of the Garrison, it was no question this was our venue.
Bridget was there every step of the way even before we put down our deposit. She was amazing from answering all our questions , responded quickly to emails, eased any sort of worry I had. I always thought wedding planning would be stressful..and I can say it honestly was not because everything here is so thorough and relaxed.
The venue is BEAUTIFUL inside and out. Luckily weather agreed with us so we could get married outside but they were prepared to shift last minute Inside ( which is just as beautiful) needed be which was great.
The food was talked about for weeks after as well, all our guests raved that it was some of the best wedding food they’ve ever had and we agree!
I can go on forever but if you want a wedding that checks every box…the garrison is your place. I would choose it again and again.

Dream Venue!!
We worked with Bridget for our May 2023 wedding and she was the best! The venue itself is just so incredibly stunning, it's hard to encapsulate it in a review! We hadn't seen a single venue in person and had reached out to maybe 20 in the Westchester, Long Island, Brooklyn and NJ area because they honestly all felt so very dated and dark, and not really worth seeing. Or others were outside venues that seemed a little better but were too expensive and the indoor alternatives were not great. The Garrison is the only venue we saw in person and booked it that day. We just knew immediately it was the One ha.
The Garrison is so stunning, whether your wedding is inside or out. It also is just SO modern and chic. Light wood floors, no weird carpet or drapes, huge big windows and a gorgeous mountain view.
Bridget was so helpful every step of the way with answering any q's we had and being so on top of her game. We had a major issue with Accurate Shuttle Transportation not showing up for our guests on time (never use them!) and she handled it super professionally and even offered to help us get a refund afterwards. Word did not get to me day of either which was important because I would have been so stressed!
The food was also SO delicious. Dinner was divine and her staff was so great in helping us get ready, set up our photo booth etc. Bridget and her team are the type of people you want for such an important day! She knows how to keep things moving, keep people happy and support you throughout the process. The bridal suite was also so great to get ready in and we rented another room at the inn across the hall for more space. Don't hesitate another minute!! This is your venue! -

Incredibly Happy With Our Wedding Day Experience
Our wedding at The Garrison was wonderful. Bridget Bell, our coordinator, and her entire team truly made our day stress free and incredible. You can tell that they run a well oiled machine and have a team of professionals, from top to bottom. The food was OUTSTANDING, I still dream about that short rib dish. Bridget was also incredible throughout the planning stages and really walked us through everything, making sure we felt comfortable and more importantly, excited for our big day. It happened to rain on our wedding day and I was genuinely so impressed with how the team and the venue handled that change of plans. It was seamless and at the end of the day, I don't at all feel like I missed out on anything. The grounds and the location itself are stunning and it's hard to take a bad picture here. There was plenty of space for us to get ready beforehand and the venue truly took care of every single detail making my day less chaotic and allowing me, as the bride, to really enjoy my wedding and not fret about the details. I have no complaints at all, The Garrison was a wonderful venue to get married at and I recommend it highly.-

Winter Wedding
We had our wedding at The Garrison in December and our experience was amazing! Bridget was so helpful not only that day but during the entire year+ process of planning. She coordinated every detail perfectly and I truly didn’t stress the day of knowing she was there. There was a moment when guests started to arrive while we were still taking photos and she whisked me away on a golf cart to the other side of the venue. My bridal assistant, Tara, was also a gem! She was there from the time we started getting ready to when we left and even helped my bridesmaids clean my dress after taking pictures outside. The views are stunning and the food is absolutely incredible. We got so many compliments the days after from our friends and families about the food and the drinks. I would also highly recommend staying at the inn! The rooms have gorgeous views as well and are very affordable and convenient for getting ready. Overall we had an amazing experience and couldn’t recommend The Garrison and Bridget enough!-

Saved our wedding day!
We knew our wedding would be smooth after our year of communicating with Bridget, but wow. We never could have guessed just how magical and perfect the day would be.
About 10 minutes after getting dressed and as I was about to head downstairs for our first look, I spilled bright green matcha all down the front of my wedding dress. Our bridal assistant, Fatima, immediately jumped into action. While I believe I saw a brief moment of terror in her eyes in the second after it happened, she calmly reassured me that it was not a big deal (though I knew very well that it was), and ran to get a stain remover wipe. Between her and my sister/MOH, the stains were reduced at least enough to get to the first look photos (with a well-placed bouquet). I was incredibly fortunate to have already planned an outfit change for our tea ceremony, so after I changed into my other dress, Fatima and Adam (who wasn't even supposed to be involved in my wedding at all!) whisked my white dress away and started working on it. When the tea ceremony was over, I returned to the bridal suite to find my dress completely recovered - it somehow looked brand new. Fatima and Adam, you literally saved my wedding day. I can never thank you enough.
As every other reviewer has said, we feel so lucky to have found The Garrison for our wedding. Bridget coordinated everything flawlessly. Every detail, every cue. She was accessible and communicative during the planning phase, and that didn't change on the day of the wedding. She was flexible with every change that we asked to make both before and during the wedding. Every part of the team was praised in the days afterwards by our families - the food, the service, the drinks, and the way that everything came together to create the perfect event. I could go on and on about how smooth, fun, and beautiful our wedding was thanks to The Garrison! But in summary, the coordination with Bridget was spot-on, the food was delicious, the venue and views were stunning, and our bridal assistant, Fatima, made us feel cared for, loved, and special the entire day. Anyone would be lucky to work with this team for their wedding. -

Magical Night
No need to look any further. This place is a hidden gem. The views are amazing and the food is even better. The Staff was great! Annie and Fatima kept myself and the bridal party up to date on the plan for the day and never left our sides. They were wonderful. My husband and I were waited on left and right. They truly made our day feel special. The morning of the wedding I felt like I was missing so much to do because Annie and Fatima took care of everything. They took every little stress away from me. We had about 140 people and every single guest the next day texted me about how beautiful the venue was (which we knew already). The minute we toured the Garrison prior to booking, we knew it was the winner. Annie connected with us instantly. You won’t regret having your special night at the Garrison. -

Best. Day. Ever.
I got married 2 weeks ago at the garrison and I am still riding HIGH. The day was absolutely perfect. Bridget and her team were on top of everything- especially since there was rain in the forecast. We were able to take our photos outdoors- the grounds are stunning and there are tons of spots for portraits. Once we made the call to do the ceremony indoors, everything was seamlessly rearranged. The ceremony was beautiful and intimate, and the sky put on a show through the floor to ceiling windows. My guests RAVED about the views, the food, and the entire flow of the event. Seriously, some people said it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. I’d get married 100 more times at the garrison!-

I would absolutely recommend The Garrison for a wedding day that will far exceed all your hopes and dreams!!

Everything is Awesome at The Garrison
The Garrison was the first and only place we walked into for a potential wedding venue and having our wedding there was the best decision we made. I loved everything they had to offer - gorgeous ceremony space and scenery, delicious food, lovely cake option, amazing staff and more. Working with Annie leading up to the wedding was so easy, and she helped shape the day so that we didn't worry about a single thing and were truly able to enjoy our wedding. Annie and her team run a tight ship, the day was flawless and smooth!! All the guests had an incredible time and the waygu steak dinner and Mac and cheese from the BBQ station I still hear about from our guests. The Garrison far far exceeded our expectations and we are so happy to have had our magical day there. -

From impeccable views to unparalleled service, every detail exceeds expectation!
Wow, where do I even start? The Garrison is a dream! From its jaw-dropping beauty to the spot-on team led by the amazing Annie, our wedding was flawless. Our guests are still talking about the top-notch food and many have dubbed it the best wedding they've EVER been to - and they aren't "just saying it"!!! Annie and the team have this magical ability to make you feel like your day is the only one they're focused on and have ever focused on, yet they execute everything as if they’ve been perfecting it for decades. Look no further if you want a venue that combines a unique, personal touch with undeniable professionalism. I cannot imagine having a more perfect wedding day!-

Perfection
My wedding at The Garrison this August 2023 was a dream come true. From the day I met Annie R. I knew I was in good hands. She was so helpful and accommodating isn't the word. My husband and I are both vegan and it was very important to us to have all vegan food at our wedding. When I brought this up to Annie she actually seemed excited and was very encouraging in our decision. And the food ended up being incredible! The day of the wedding I didn't worry about a thing because I knew she was handling everything. The whole team at this venue is very professional and they all work together so well. They also have a way of making you feel so special when the big day comes. Also the views from this venue are unreal. Booking this venue will be the best decision you make for your wedding day. -

Beautiful venue & amazing staff
Annie was great to work with throughout the whole process. She was always quick to respond, organized, and professional. Most importantly, she made our big day stress-free. The venue is stunning and the food is so good. We heard so many rave reviews from guests about how amazing the venue is (stunning views, beautiful interior, etc.) and even how great all the staff is. Most of our guests completely cleaned their dinner plates, and this was after all the food during the cocktail hour. It's clear that Annie & the rest of the Garrison staff are true pros. Everything went perfectly and we knew we were taken care of throughout the whole process and on our wedding day. Highly recommend getting married at the Garrison! -

Worlds best wedding venue!
I can't express how magical it was to have our wedding at the Garrison. From the stunningly beautiful views to the incredible team, we had the wedding day of our dreams. Bridget and her team were unbelievable in making sure the day went perfectly and smoothly. The venue space was PERFECTION and we were even able to have our afterparty in the beautiful Valley Bar. 10/10 recommend this venue if you don't want to stress about hiring a million vendors for all your wedding needs!!! -

A perfect day!
We're so glad we picked The Garrison for our wedding! Not only was the setting stunning, but the space was exactly what we were looking for, the food was delicious, and the service was incredible. Bridget and her team answered all of our questions leading up to the wedding day. On the day of, they were so helpful and took care of everything. We never had to worry about where we should be or what our vendors were doing—Bridget managed everything. We were able to relax, enjoy ourselves, and have the perfect day. -

Bride and Groom
Picking the Garrison as our wedding venue was the best decision we made! Not only is the venue itself STUNNING and surrounded by a beautiful landscape, but the food is INCREDIBLE, the staff is kind and professional, and most important our coordinator, Annie, is a reason in itself to choose the Garrison. She guided us through everything and was extremely communicative, answered all of our questions, walked us through what we need to know to prepare for the wedding and the day of the wedding. She was by our side the entire day with her staff to ensure everything went perfectly. Honestly, I never stressed once about the wedding or the venue - plus they have a great rain plan, which takes some stress off your plate (since you can’t control the weather!)

Best of the best!
Having our wedding at The Garrison was the best decision we ever made! Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe the experience. Starting with Annie R., we knew from the first meeting that this venue was a step above the rest, and we trusted them to deliver a memorable and smooth day for us. Annie was extremely helpful throughout the booking and planning process – she offered her professional advice and also provided sound recommendations for additional vendors.
The day of the wedding was a pure dream! Annie and Julianna were by my side and made sure that everything was taken care of. The rest of the staff were also super attentive and made sure that guests had everything they needed. We received countless compliments on so many aspects of the wedding, mainly on the food - everyone loved it!! The Garrison is a truly special place, both due to its unique location / views and the incredible team that works there. We are so happy that there’s a restaurant we can return to annually to reflect on our special day. Do not hesitate to book this venue for your wedding, or any special occasion!

Outstanding Team and Location
The Garrison staff, led by Bridget Bell, did an outstanding job of planning for and our daughter's wedding. Bridget was professional, calm and cordial throughout the process and promptly responded to all of our questions. The outside vendors that we selected based on The Garrison's recommendations also did an outstanding job.
One thing we really appreciated was the venue's flexibility regarding whether the ceremony would be indoors or outdoors. We had hoped for an outdoor ceremony, but it was raining on and off throughout the day. The Garrison was prepared to have the ceremony either indoors or out and was able to make a last-minute change to have it indoors. Some other venues we considered required that the decision be made days in advance. The bride was thankful that she didn't need to make that decision.
The views at the location are amazing, even in bad weather. Windows line an entire view and afford great views of the Hudson River and the surrounding mountains. The arrangement of the rooms accommodates a natural flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception.
Now that the adjoining golf course has closed, there are ample opportunities for outdoor photos in natural settings.
The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival now holds seasonal performance on the site, and one was underway while we were there, but it was far enough away that you would never know it.
Since the wedding, our guests have been telling us how much they enjoyed it and how outstanding the food was.

Amazing Wedding Venue + Team!
Our wedding at the Garrison was fantastic and I would definitely recommend this venue!! Why was it so great?
1. The Service: Annie and the team were really responsive and supportive during the planning, but also day of. They helped guide me (the bride) through getting ready upstairs and since we didn't do a first look they helped time all of the movement so my husband and I didn't see each other until the alter. Annie made sure all of our vendors had access to the space and were able to set up in time before the ceremony. As someone who generally likes to manage things personally, I was really grateful that the team had everything taken care of and I didn't have to think about anything!
2. The Space: The space at the Garrison was idyllic. We had views of the Hudson Valley during our ceremony, and the full wall of windows during the reception provided an amazing view of the sunset. Our guests were able to move between indoor and outdoor spaces and really enjoyed the setting.
3. The Food: The food was great! I was a bit nervous about how it would turn out since we didn't have a tasting, but everything exceeded our expectations and the quality is high. Our guests universally (and without prompting) told us afterwards that the food at cocktail hour was delicious and continuously refilled - they couldn't get enough! Dinner (short rib and bass) was also super tasty and the parmesan risotto was a stand out.
4. Location: We had guests who were coming from NYC and from out of town. The location was convenient enough that folks who needed to could drive back to the city the same night, but we also had a hotel block in Nyack for those who didn't want to make the drive.
Overall we can't say enough good things about our experience with The Garrison and would highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding! -

Best day of our lives
The Garrison was overall the perfect venue. We live in the busy city, and this was the perfect distance out of the city for us for a little getaway. We just got married last weekend. Annie was our main point of contact and from the beginning she was helpful, generous and thoughtful. She made sure the day went exactly as planned. Even on the day of, when some of our guests weren't able to find rides to the venue she offered to pick them up. .. She is amazing. -

The Garrison is the BEST!
We truly couldn’t have had a more magical experience on our special day at the Garrison. From the incredible staff to the breathtaking views, we had the best day ever!
We had a Covid wedding, which means our experience dated back to 2019, when we were originally supposed to get married in 2020 at the Garrison. We all know what happened then! Throughout all of the uncertainty and rescheduling, the Garrison remained flexible and adapted to our needs and wishes. It was well worth the wait!
Bridget, our wedding coordinator, was a star. When one of our shuttles left a hotel lobby full of guests and we were notified, Bridget seamlessly took care of the situation without a hitch, which left us stress free. Another great perk was that the Garrison provided us a list of vendors which we ended up using and they were spectacular. The florist, DJ, photographer, and photo booth vendors all came from their recommendations and they all added a tremendous amount to the experience. Additionally, the food was incredible and the overall flow of the wedding itself appeared effortless thanks to the finely tuned workings on site. All staff members were extremely professional and worked as a cohesive team throughout the evening.
We have received soooo many compliments about the wedding and it is in large part thanks to everything the Garrison offered and executed. I 100% recommend them!

Incredible and professional!
We held our wedding at The Garrison in April 2022 and it was the best wedding decision we made! The venue is beautiful, the food is delicious, the layout is perfect for weddings, and every member of the staff is so on top of everything. We had the pleasure of working with Bridget, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the beginning when we booked in 2020, Bridget was very responsive, proactive, helpful, patient with my many questions, and incredibly organized. Her attention to detail really kept us on track with various tasks leading up to the big day. She is experienced, has great suggestions, provides excellent vendor recommendations, and knows all the right things to do to make a wedding run smoothly. I felt totally at ease knowing that Bridget and her team had everything under control on the day-of, which helped us relax and enjoy our big day. Bridget was incredible with every element of the planning process through the day-of coordination and logistics. She is also genuinely kind and very easy to work with. I can’t recommend Bridget and the Garrison enough!! -

Our Dream Venue
I have always wanted to get married on a mountain top so I searched for venues using Google Maps and came across The Garrison. As soon as I walked inside, I knew this was the perfect place. Bridget was our day of coordinator and she was absolutely amazing! She was quick to respond to emails, had really good suggestions, and made our big day run seamlessly. The staff was attentive and professional. We had Richard as our Captain and Karen as our bridal assistant. I can't express enough how amazing they all were the day of our wedding. Karen made sure that we had everything we could have wanted (food, drinks, space, help with pictures, etc) and I don't know what we would have done without her! We literally had not one thing go wrong. It was incredible. I highly recommend The Garrison as a wedding venue. The setting is beyond compare, the food was incredible, and the staff was amazing. What more could you ask for?-

The Garrison is excellent!
Bridget at the Garrison was amazing!! Having a pandemic wedding was not easy, but she helped us find a solution where we still got to keep our original date and have an intimate gathering with our immediate family. Our guests raved about the food and service! The Garrison staff is excellent! -

Perfect wedding!
My wedding was perfect =) I live in Nashville and planned everything from there - I was worried that it was going to be a disaster planning long distance but everything went perfectly! I worked with Annie who was always on top of her game and left me feeling very confident. On the day, anything that I needed or wanted to change she made happen. And the venue itself is stunning. Everyone loved the views. We had our wedding inside (November 16th) in a beautiful room with floor to ceiling windows so it felt like you were outside. We also had a bonfire with smores so people could enjoy being outside under the clear starry sky. The food was another home run!! It was presented beautifully and everything tasted delicious. The chef is truly talented and the meal was what you would expect to be served at a very fancy restaurant. On the actual day everything went smoothly and I was calm and confident in my team!! Would recommend The Garrison to everyone! -

The best wedding venue we could have imagined
The Garrison is not cheap... but boy do they show you time and time again where your money is going. Choosing The Garrison as our wedding venue was the best possible decision we could have made. Every thing that was A+ about our wedding (the scenery, the food, the list of vendors we worked with, the small touches) came from our decision to book The Garrison. The staff absolutely does not mess around. They will anticipate every need you didn't know you had, and every question you didn't know to ask. We worked exclusively with vendors from their "preferred" list which was an excellent call - we heard time and time again that the Garrison staff are very intentional about who they put on their list, and it shows. The vendors are so accustomed to working with The Garrison that it eliminates a ton of logistical work that other couples need to put in to ensure the wedding runs smoothly. We got extremely lucky with beautiful weather, but even if we hadn't (with rain, snow, or extreme temperatures) The Garrison still would have been the perfect site because their indoor ceremony option, which has floor to ceiling windows, still would have been breathtaking. Bridget and the rest of the staff were an absolute dream and I am so grateful we chose this venue. Truly the best day of our lives.-

September Garrison Wedding
We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding. The minute we stepped out in front of the beautiful view from the ceremony site, we knew we had found our place. It made it even more special that the bride’s parents were married at the Garrison 30 years ago. Annie made the whole process with the Garrison so smooth - we sat down for our organizing meetings in advance of the wedding to sort out all the little details of the day, and kept in communication via email throughout the planning. No matter how stressed we were about other wedding planning, we knew we didn’t need to worry about anything that The Garrison was in charge of. Annie made sure everything went exactly as planned for the day of, and we really had the most wonderful, memorable day. All of the chairs, tables, place-settings, and decor were flawless, and our guests raved about all of the cocktail hour and reception food. We were so glad that we got to take home the rest of our filet mignons to finish, and we devoured every bite! Our friends and family loved the incredible view of the Hudson, and the sunset we were lucky enough to have. We hope we get invited to someone else’s Garrison wedding, so that we can enjoy it all over again. It was such a special experience, and we can’t wait to come back next year to the restaurant for our anniversary!-

Phenomenal! Book now!
The Garrison was the perfect venue for us and I could not feel more grateful that we found it. We got married on August 10th and could not be happier. I feel so incredibly lucky that we stumbled upon The Garrison (after countless venue tours), and more importantly, that we found Annie. Annie is a dream to work with and she makes the whole wedding process so easy. Although I am sure she does numerous weddings, she made us feel like we were the only couple to ever have been married there - her focus on our day made us feel so special. Everything about the Garrison is perfect - the food, the pastry garden cake, the venue itself, the views, etc. I have had so many guests tell me since the wedding that it is the best wedding food they have ever had, and the best wedding they ever experienced. We owe so much of it to Annie and her team. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff and team at The Garrison - we can't wait to come back and celebrate our anniversary here!-

Beyond incredible
Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Everything about the Garrison is incredible. From the service, the views, the girls working, the food, and more. From the second we visited we knew it was the place for us. It was the best decision we could have made. There will never be a lack of communication, so you’ll always feel taken care off. Working with Bridget, was a saving grace! She knew everything I wanted, needed, and was on top of it from the second we met! The options for food are endless and you can’t go wrong with any selection! We did the BBQ and it was amazing! Everyone couldn’t get over it! The dinner was cooked to excellence. Bridal suite is newly updated! If you pick the Garrison you will be blown away with happiness on your wedding day!!!!

Beautiful, accommodating, amazing venue!
This venue was everything I could have asked for. They were incredibly responsive and accommodating when first meeting and booking the venue. From there, we felt like we were absolutely taken care of and special and had nothing to worry about. Bridget Bell, our wedding coordinator, was amazing and helped us to get through all of the planning beforehand and day of. She was super responsive and helpful. We got married at the end of April, and it ended up being extremely windy with intermittent rains and the venue worked with us to have the ceremony slightly early so we could be outside. It was so beautiful and out pictures came out amazing. All staff were very attentive day of. They also lit a fire pit outside for us without us asking. They took over day of and made it super stress free so we were able to enjoy it rather than be worried about details. I can not say enough good things about The Garrison. -

Simply amazing, highly recommend.
We looked at A LOT of venues in the Hudson Valley. The Garrison was simply the best for us across the board: Bridget put us at ease from the moment we met her, through the day. The scenery, food, and dynamic setup for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was classy, comfortable, and fun. Everyone loved it, and we did too! -

Magical Wedding!
The Garrison was the only place that felt right. We knew the moment we saw the arch and the mountain views, but Jane really sealed the deal for us. She was so monumental in our wedding planning and made us feel comforted, supported and had our backs from the moment we met to the big day. Her and her staff knocked everything out of the park and almost every guest came up to us to tell us how magical the venue and service was. She even helped go above and beyond in adding flowers to the arch with the extra flowers that we had!! Our wedding was sheer perfection because of The Garrison and it was the best decision we ever made. We feel beyond grateful that we made the choice to have our wedding at The Garrison. The day will never be forgotten and it houses the best memories of our lives. Forever grateful for Jane and The Garrison team! We love you guys -

Stunning place.
The Garrison was perfect. Beautiful place with gorgeous views. Everything turned out great. The food, the setup, the atmosphere, and the whole timeline of the day was perfect. Bridget my day of coordinator made everything happen exactly how I wanted it to go. She was very easy going, very attention to detail about everything, and was a very friendly person to be around. She made my day exactly how I wanted it to be and I didn't have to worry about anything. Would highly recommend the Garrison.-

The best of the best
As soon as I saw photos of The Garrison online, I knew I had to get married there. Once we visited and met with Bridget, we did not even consider any other venue. From our first email conversation, Bridget was attentive, professional, kind, and informative. She made the entire process easy and as stress-free as possible. On our wedding day, Bridget and the team at The Garrison went above and beyond in making sure the room was set and everything was ready to go. She also encouraged me to make the call to have our ceremony outside despite somewhat chilly temperatures because she knew we wanted to. I am so grateful she did!
The space at The Garrison is absolutely breathtaking. Every room is gorgeous. The food was delicious--we had so many guests raving about it. Some were surprised when dinner came because the cocktail hour was so filling! The value was phenomenal. All of the waiters and staff at The Garrison were also outstanding.
As we were planning our wedding, every other vendor we worked with had such great things to say about The Garrison and they were totally right. We were in the best hands during our wedding planning process and the day of. We had multiple guests who work in the wedding industry tell us it was the best wedding they have been to. Bridget and everyone at The Garrison made sure we had our dream day and we are forever grateful. If you are looking to get married in the Hudson Valley, choose The Garrison! -

The Garrison = OUTSTANDING views, service, and food!
We couldn't have asked for more than our experience at The Garrison. As we searched for a venue, we prioritized three things- space, service, and food. Here is now Annie and the staff at The Garrison exceeded at each:
SPACE: If you've gotten this far and you haven't gone to their website or social media to look at the images on social media, then look now because the view is incredible! Since The Garrison only hosts one wedding at a time, you also have access to the outside area. We had a s'mores bar and also a ice cream stand out there. It was so much fun and so unique!
SERVICE: One word- OUTSTANDING! Annie and her team thought of every detail and they went out of their way to accommodate our requests for personalization. Our guests absolutely loved how were served their main course. A member of the staff stood behind each seat so that they could serve the entire table simultaneously.
FOOD: The food was unbelievable, especially the Wagyu Steak. We received so many compliments on the food, as the guests loved the cocktail hour as well as the main course. The BBQ station was a big hit and our favorite Hors D'oeuvres were the Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Brioche; House Made Potato Chips with Bleu Cheese Dip; Scallop Ceviche; and the Sushi Rolls.
If you're thinking about booking The Garrison, just do it. You won't be disappointed. -

Couldn't have been better
We never considered any venues other than The Garrison. Annie was communicative, responsive, and lovely to work with from the very beginning. We had a somewhat non-traditional wedding (a lot of music from animated shows, pie instead of cake, not a lot of decor, an overtly political signature cocktail) and never felt anything less than fully respected by everyone at the venue. The setting was so gorgeous for our early February wedding and the valet parking made it very easy for our guests to get there even with snow on the ground. The food was as incredible as we expected and we got the chance to try everything. The overnight rooms are gorgeous and the bridal suite was very generously sized. We felt very taken care of from the day we booked through the end of the event. All of our guests had a fantastic time and so did we! So many people say they can't remember their wedding or felt like they didn't really get to be there and we didn't feel that way at all, which is at least in part due to the excellent service we received. -

Stunning views and outstanding food
We were fortunate to have our wedding at The Garrison. From start to finish, the process was personalized and organized. The minute we arrived, we were blown away by the panoramic view of the Hudson Valley. Bridget Bell was our wedding coordinator. She spent quality time with us throughout the planning process to ensure that our vision would come to life. She was a pleasure to work with and coordinated with our vendors for a stress- free wedding day. Bridget answered all of our emails promptly, gave us great advice, and was very easy going. Her professionalism and ability to get things done were second to none. We had the best time of our lives and Bridget was a big part in making it a memorable day.
The venue is approx. 1.5hr drive from the city/ major airports, which our guests found easy to access. There were enough parking spots for our guests who drove. The major hotels (in Fishkill) are about 15min drive/ bus/ shuttle away. The venue held 125 guests, a 9-piece band with 2 sound technicians, and a photobooth with more than enough room to spare. The wedding package we chose was competitive to other venues we looked at.
We chose to hold our ceremony indoors and timed it so that the sun would set as we said our vows. It made for awesome pictures. The transition from ceremony to cocktail hour (held in the same room) was smooth. After the cocktail hour, we liked that the guests simply had to walk a few steps to the reception hall. Guests could not stop complementing on the cocktail hour food as well as reception dinner- many said that they had the “best wedding food ever”. We also had a fire pit on the patio for a s’mores bar, which was a big hit for both children and adults. We would highly recommend this venue and Bridget Bell.

The Garrison wil deliver a tasteful, elegant, contemporary wedding with stunning views!
There are hardly adequate words to describe our experience with The Garrison. If you are looking for impeccably kept grounds, tasteful cocktail & reception rooms, attentive & warm staff, delicious & contemporary food & drink, and stunningly gorgeous views, then The Garrison is for you. Annie and her staff took care of every single detail flawlessly, from touring the venue to the last moment of our wedding celebration. Our guests were floored with everything The Garrison had to offer, and had nothing but wonderful things to stay about the food, the staff, the grounds, and the entire experience. I could not recommend The Garrison more highly. Just one note: if you are expecting a wedding tasting, The Garrison does not offer as their food is fresh & seasonal and frankly, the chef knows what he's doing. This was something I initially was concerned by (because I am Type-A, getting married or not), but just have a meal at the adjoining restaurant and you will have a good idea of what to expect. Do yourself a favor and use the recommended vendors - everyone was awesome! Thank you, Annie and The Garrison, for making our wedding day everything we could have dreamed of and more.-

We knew we wanted to get married at The Garrison after being at the venue for maybe 5 minutes - the views and the overall setup are incredible. We worked with Annie throughout the planning process - she replied quickly to emails/messages and was always readily available to answer questions (no matter how silly/small) and offer advice. She knows the venue inside and out and was able to make every single one of our ideas work. The day before the wedding, we dropped off our boxes and boxes of decorations, favors, photos, etc... and I was legitimately blown away when I walked downstairs the next afternoon to see how everything was put together - it honestly looked better than I had pictured it in my head. I completely trusted Annie and her staff and am so glad I did - they did not disappoint AT ALL. I cannot recommend this venue and Annie enough - my family/bridal party is still talking about how on top of everything she was - there wasn't one hiccup or one moment where I was at all worried/concerned about anything other than the fact that I was getting married all day. If you are considering the venue, absolutely book it - you will not regret it. -

My wife, Megan, and I had our wedding at the Garrison and loved every minute of it! From the amazing view to the delicious food, the Garrison was an excellent venue. Working with Bridget Bell and the Garrison team made planning our wedding easy and fun. We highly recommend this venue for anyone's big day! -

Not even sure where to begin; there is nothing not to love about The Garrison! From the moment we drove up and saw the stunning views of the Hudson River we knew we had to have our wedding here. We hoped for a beautiful day so we could have our ceremony under the gazebo, but even if it rained the floor to ceiling windows in all the event rooms would have let in enough natural light we would have felt we were outside anyway. Aside from the breathtaking venue, the service was also phenomenal! Bridget was the absolute best to work with - any time I had a weird/small question she was also quick to get back to me and made the planning a breeze. When the big day came she ensured the day went smoothly, it was everything we could have hoped for. Also, the food. Every bite was so, so delicious. Every details was exactly as I could have imagined for our wedding. For anyone considering The Garrison, DO IT, you will not regret it for a second! -

The Garrison was a great choice for our wedding! The venue offers fantastic views of the Hudson Valley and the Hudson River, both from the outside area where the Cerimony took place and the inside area where we had our Cocktail and Reception. Since our first contact, Bridget has been very friendly and easy to work with, and we are very happy with the results. The day of our wedding everything worked perfectly and both Bridget and Jessica and the entire staff at The Garrison did an outstanding job. We had the best time at our wedding and so our guests, and we would highly recommend The Garrison to anyone! -

My husband and I just had our wedding at the Garrison. I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue, as well as Annie and her assistant. From start to finish everything was perfect and seamless. We have not stopped getting texts and calls from all of our guests raving about the venue, food and overall experience. Not very often could you say that something, or an event could be prefect but ours truly was. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and used to its maximum potential. Annie and her assistant were so helpful and supportive throughout the entire wedding process. Everyone kept asking where we found this beautiful venue. Highly highly highly recommend the Garrison and Annie :) -

My wife and I choose the Garrison over two years ago to have our wedding. Due to family circumstances we had to postpone the wedding a year and The Garrison was more than accommodating. We worked with Bridget Bell on our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator for the day and planning. The day of the wedding it snowed, it rained and was sunny. We always planned on having the ceremony outside, and when it was time to call the location it was too cold to have it outside. The team setup the ceremony up in the equally beautiful interior room overlooking the Hudson. Then the sun came out Bridget came to us and was like what to you think, we said yes and BAM the team made our dream of an outside ceremony come true. My guest could not have raved enough about the food and service at The Garrison some even said it was the best wedding food they've ever tasted, we have to agree. The Garrison went above and beyond what we could ever have expected! -

Choosing The Garrison to host our wedding was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Amazing, amazing venue!! We could not have picked a better spot for our wedding, and our day was absolutely perfect in every way. Bridget was an incredible godsend to our planning, and helped us tremendously through every step of the process -- picking our food, setting up our timeline, and walking through every decision with us to make sure we set up a day that reflected us perfectly and was an amazing guest experience. Our guests RAVED about the Garrison -- from the views to the service to the food, everything was top notch, and we had so many guests compliment us that it was by far the best "wedding" food they had ever had, if not some of the best food they had had ever! The staff was incredible, and our guests always had full drinks and plates and were so happy. Bridget also made sure that the staff executed our timeline perfectly, ensuring that we had exactly the amount of time we wanted to mingle, eat and dance with our guests. It was incredible, and we would highly recommend The Garrison to anyone and everyone looking to get married in the Hudson Valley - you can't go wrong!! -

Annie at the Garrison is amazing! I wish we started with her from the beginning. We originally started with Todd but he was let go 3 weeks before our wedding. Probably sounds stressful considering your wedding coordinator basically disappeared right before your wedding, but Annie assured us that everything would go according to plan and she had reviewed all of Todd's notes and spoke to us over the phone to make sure everything was what we wanted. I can't speak about Annie's planning process, but Todd asked us about every little detail starting from where to sit the parents to what table cloths would go with the flowers. Annie was on point the day of the wedding. There were a couple of hiccups with the DJ but she handled everything behind the scenes and we didn't even know! She calmed us down before our entrance/choreographed dance and truly was wonderful/nice. As if Annie wasn't enough, the venue is just perfect. Beautiful backdrop and amazing food. They even personalized our own dinner meals by letting us order something different from the menu. A couple of items to note though 1. the upstairs of the inn is very small if you are looking to get ready there. it was sufficient for my wife but she's not very picky, but i wish they would let them use the salon/empty space downstairs if it's not in use (which it wasn't on the day of our wedding) 2. they don't have much leeway on pricing/freebies - there's no tasting that most weddings provide, they didn't even give us a free lunch just to taste an entree or two which was kind of disappointing because i feel like that's a normal experience as part of a wedding. We just had to go with the reviews of the food and for wedding food, i thought it was pretty damn good. 3. watch out for west point and vassar college graduations! there's not many hotels near by and the graduations take up most of the hotel spaces and/or all the hotels raise their prices which was unfortunate for our guests! -

What an amazing wedding experience! Bridget is extremely professional, calm, and knows how to run an event! All of our guests loved everything about our day. The food was fantastic. Bridget made sure to give my husband and me a moment alone in our room after the ceremony to celebrate. The staff sent up appetizers from our cocktail hour and a champagne toast for us to share. They even sent up spring rolls because I couldn't have some of the ingredients in the dumplings we chose for cocktail hour. My husband and I ordered the Wagyu flat iron steak with roasted seasonal vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes, which was an incredible meal with perfect portions. With all that was going on, we couldn't finish it and they boxed it up for us along with a slice of our wedding cake, which made for an amazing lunch the next day. They also left our slices of cake on our sweetheart table long enough for us to be able to have some at the wedding, which is something I have not seen at other weddings. The staff was very attentive to my food sensitivities as well as those of my guests. The bridal captain and bridal assistant were both always around if we needed a drink or anything else. The cake was included with the package and was from the Pastry Garden in Poughkeepsie, which makes the best cake I have ever had. Bridget is so good at getting back to clients by email and by phone. Any question or concern I had was addressed promptly. The Garrison was so flexible and our wedding was tailored to meet our needs and wants. All of the staff at The Garrison made our wedding an unforgettable day! -

Bridget Bell was a pleasure to work with and her and her staff were amazing at making us and our guests happy. The planning process was so easy and she was so flexible with accommodating some last minute changes. You need to have your wedding here. We are so glad we did! -

We got married in July 2016 at the Garrison, and I can’t recommend this venue highly enough! Everything was perfect, from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception. We worked with Annie, who is absolutely wonderful - she was endlessly patient with our myriad of questions, she met with us multiple times to ensure every detail was exactly how we wanted it, and on the day itself, she ensured everything went off without a hitch. The venue itself is gorgeous - the view over the river impressed all of our guests, and the sunset during our reception was breathtaking. The food was amazing too! We were worried because we did not have the ‘tasting’ that some other venues offered, but in the end, the dinner & cocktail hour food was so great that many guests commented on how delicious everything was. I am so happy we picked the Garrison - it was the perfect place for us! -

It took us awhile to write this review because there are no words to describe our love or to express our thanks for The Garrison and for Annie Rozycki. Our wedding was PERFECTION and far surpassed anything we ever imagined it would be. To begin, working with Annie was one of the reasons we loved The Garrison so much and quite honestly, one of the reasons why we booked it. Annie was calm, organized, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable, and we knew we would be in good hands working with her. Annie is able to work with any type of bride, even the most intense and neurotic (like myself) and make their wedding visions come to life. She is responsive and on top of everything that needs to be done and makes the entire wedding planning process seamless. The venue itself possesses beauty that we didn’t find anywhere else on our wedding venue search, and we looked EVERYWHERE. The clean, crisp, and minimalist decor is a perfect complement to the beauty of the Hudson Valley. The food at The Garrison was amazing and this was something we were looking for in a venue. The Garrison offers farm-to-table cuisine, and focuses on quality over quantity. Annie and the chef also worked together to ensure that all dietary restrictions of my family would be met, including eliminating pork from the menu completely, and meeting my father’s extreme vegan diet. We feel so lucky to have found this incredible venue and to have had a wedding that was a little bit different from traditional NYC and Long Island venues. Our guests continue to rave about our wedding and about the beauty of The Garrison. We hope to continue to visit The Garrison for years to come and dine in the restaurant or stay at the hotel.

My son and daughter in law got married this summer and we couldn't have been happier with the Garrison. One of their best assets is definitely Annie Rozycki! She has a way about her that is so calming yet assertive, which seems to be exactly what you need to get through a wedding. She was always right on the money in guiding us, but also very open and accommodating to our ideas and suggestions. She took a lot of the anxiety away from all the usual concerns when planning such a meaningful event.
As far as the staff goes, they were AMAZING! From setting the chairs up and taking them down THREE times (we had strong thunderstorms right before the ceremony that were stop and go), to their complete attentiveness to our guests. To this day, we still have friends who comment on the incredible staff.
The food was also beyond our expectations. I knew The Garrison was known for their culinary experience, and it surpassed that. We also got comments on how delicious the food was and how much there was!! We highly recommend the Garrison if you are thinking about having your wedding here! -

My husband and I had an honestly perfect day for our wedding on July 21st at The Garrison! I was apprehensive choosing a Friday wedding in the beginning, but it made the wedding weekend even longer and friends and family were more than happy to take a day off of work to start the weekend and wedding celebrations on a Friday. The views are amazing! Guests and family that were not from the Hudson Valley were blown away with the view of the mountains and the river for the pictures, the ceremony site, and the massive windows in the ballroom. The food was excellent. Most guests thought that the barbecue appetizer was the main course since there was so much of it and it was so delicious. Annie, the wedding coordinator, had everything planned and scheduled down to the minute and all I really had to do on Friday was show up and get married. Annie was also so quick with responding to emails, which was great since when the wedding got closer I was sending her tons of questions each day! Having the bridal suite made the day incredibly smooth since my bridesmaids and I stayed at The Garrison the entire day with plenty of room for hair and make up, relaxing, eating, and taking the lovely views of the golf course, grounds, and river. I wouldn't change a thing!

My husband and I were married at The Garrison in June. After touring the venue, we knew we wanted to get married here. We loved the outdoor space overlooking the Hudson River. The views are absolutely stunning. The cocktail hour and reception space are equally special with floor to ceiling windows. The space has a very natural and open feel to it unlike any other venue we visited. We met with the Special Event Manager, Annie Rozycki. She is very kind, professional, and extremely competent at her job. My husband and I worked with Annie for a year, planning out every detail of the wedding. She was always quick to respond to my many emails and questions while offering great suggestions and feedback. I really appreciated her being flexible and open to my ideas. The vendor list she provided was so helpful and we booked several vendors from it. We met with Annie multiple times before the wedding. She was always very organized and one hundred percent prepared for our meetings. I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with her. I also worked with Special Event Manager, Bridget Bell. Bridget and Annie coordinated together to make sure everything I envisioned for my wedding day was realized. On the day of my wedding, having Bridget by my side allowed me to be comfortable and at ease. She has such a calming presence. I made a few last minute changes and Bridget handled them all without any problems. Due to Bridget and her staff, my night was stress-free and everything flowed perfectly. My bridal assistant Jesse Laffin-Aviles was great and there any time we needed anything. The food was delicious and all of our guests continue to rave about their meals. Many people have told us it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. There is no doubt that it was the best night of our lives! Thank you so much to The Garrison staff for going above and beyond to make our day so special. -

My husband and I got married at The Garrison almost a year ago and we still cannot say enough how much we LOVED the experience there! Todd, our wedding venue coordinator, was fantastic from the start helping us plan the day events and recommending vendors who had worked at the venue before. He really understood how we wanted the day to be and also had amazing recommendations due to his experience that worked really well for us. The vendors he recommended were also fantastic and they all ended up working as a "team". We also loved the fact that it had a beautiful room for our rehearsal dinner that made it more intimate with our wedding party and a few extra guests. There's also the option of an indoor ceremony, which is what happened to us because the chance of pouring rain was huge, and it ended up being very intimate and with the beautiful views of the trees and the river in the background due to the floor to ceiling windows. Then the transition for the ceremony to the cocktail hour in the same room was very seamless and workout perfectly. We could not have been happier with this venue and can't wait to go back there for a dinner to reminisce on such a wonderful and special day. -

The Garrison and their staff are absolutely perfect. From day one, Annie worked with us to plan our wedding day just as we envisioned it. She was full of great ideas and adaptable to our needs. With her calm and demeanor, Annie makes the job seem effortless and as a result she completely eliminated the stress that can normally accompany wedding planning. I had complete confidence that our wedding day would be flawless. Day of, the entire staff brought their A game. They were professional at the level of a Michelin star restaurant; somehow helpful but also blending into the background so as not to distract from our friends and family. -

We got married at The Garrison in April 2016 and couldn't have been happier with our decision. Todd Smith and the entire Garrison staff (shout out to Donna who always made sure the bride looked good and the groom had a drink in his hand) made the day even more unforgettable. Friends and family still talk about the food, which was incredible - we went with the Italian and BBQ stations. However the main reason we picked the venue was the VIEW - floor to ceiling windows looking out on the Westpoint campus and the Hudson Valley. It's truly breathtaking. Another thing we love about The Garrison is that we can always come back to the venue to walk the grounds, eat brunch/dinner at the amazing restaurant, spend a night at the hotel, or play a round of golf. We plan on coming back every year for our anniversary to reminisce about our perfect day. -

As the Father of a bride who told me afterwards that I "gave her her dream wedding", I have to start with The Garrison and our Event Manager, Todd Smith--and give great credit to both for making our night one to remember for the rest of our lives. From the first time we visited the venue, and were inspired by the gorgeous views and scenery, the beauty and charm of the two large and complementary rooms that provide the "stage" to set the wedding, and Todd's vision, enthusiasm, "know-how" and demonstrable organizational skills--we (my wife, my daughter, and my now son-in-law, as well as his parents) all knew instinctively that this was the right place for us. Now, in the wake of a weekend that exceeded all of our individual and collective expectations, I can confirm that we made the right decision. There is nothing that I would change if I could. Even though it wasn't warm enough to hold the ceremony in the outdoor area that overlooks perhaps the most beautiful part of the Hudson, it didn't matter one whit. We got the photos we wanted outside, and the indoor setting was just as spectacular. Todd was great in instructing all of us in the Wedding Party as to how the processional would work and how to handle our "parts". Then, almost within seconds of the conclusion of the ceremony, Todd's "troops" cleared the area, and the cocktail hour--replete with unbelievably delicious hor d'ouerves that received rave reviews--kicked off. From there the evening moved smoothly for the next 5 hours--with Todd at the helm. The flowers -- from a vendor recommended by The Garrison -- were just right, and were priced fairly and appropriately. The dinner entrees and the wedding cake (which is included in the price charged) were all terrific. In conclusion, if you are getting married--or are a parent throwing a wedding for a child--then you would do well to not only consider The Garrison, but to get in touch with Todd, visit and sign up. You won't regret it. -

Annie was so great to work with. There wasn't any question that was too crazy and she was very quick to respond. The Garrison was the perfect venue for our wedding and our guests have said it was the most beautiful location they've ever been to for a wedding. We lucked out on the weather for a wedding with a snow storm two days before which made the perfect Winter wedding backdrop for our photos. -

Every part of planning our wedding at the Garrison was so smooth and easy. Todd was incredibly helpful, responsive, and caring. He wouldn't let us make a bad decision and he thought of everything. As good as Todd is at planning he is even more amazing on the day of the wedding. Todd & his staff handled everything- there was an issue with our seating cards and they fixed it without us even noticing. Everything ran so beautifully. The food was incredible, the service amazing, and EVERYONE who worked there was smiling and friendly the entire time. The venue itself is gorgeous but Todd & his team make it almost unreal. I can't say enough about how amazing our wedding was!!!!! -

My husband and I were married at the Garrison on September 2, 2016 and had an incredible experience. I am so grateful for the Garrison and their team for putting together a beautiful wedding and making the entire process feel seamless. The Garrison was the full package for us. It was a wedding venue without necessarily feeling like one. We were nervous about checking out wedding venues because many that we saw were tacky. But the Garrison had a very modern yet rustic feel, and it was large enough to accommodate our 175 person wedding. The views are incredibly stunning and the team is top notch. The service was incredible. Annie Rozycki was our event planner and she led us through the entire process thoughtfully and patiently. The rest of her team was also incredible and made our guests feel at ease, comfortable and happy throughout the night. The food was also incredible. We're foodies and felt good eats were an imperative at our wedding. We ate at the Valley (their restaurant) before booking the venue and were impressed. We had fun working with Annie on the menu for our night and had plenty of options to choose from.
Overall, we felt the Garrison was the perfect place for our nuptials. The views cannot be beat. -

Annie Rozycki is exceptional. I don't think I've ever used that word to describe someone or something, but it's fitting for her. She was our wedding venue coordinator and from start (18 months before the wedding) to finish she is the complete package of professional, organized, expert, communicator, and adviser. She will coordinate the entire occasion with her command and calmness. Trust her. Her and every individual on her staff "know their stuff" - sweet and accommodating - whether you notice it or are too busy enjoying the day. I think the fitting motto is "they have your back". The food was raved about by all our guests (compliments to the chef), and the views of the Hudson Valley in the fall are stunning (the reason we booked with them). We would recommend the Garrison 101%. Book way in advanced because there's a reason they are sought after. -

We got married on September 23, 2016 at The Garrison and THE BEST EVER is absolutely right. I wish I could give the Garrison and their entire staff 10 stars for all they did to make our wedding day (and Rehearsal Dinner!) the best day of our lives. We worked with Annie from start to finish and I can honestly say that our wedding was so perfect because of her. From the moment we pulled up to The Garrison to meet with Annie and see the venue for the first time, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Annie is professional, efficient, and one of a kind. She was very accommodating to our needs and wants. We won the lottery working with her.
From the minute we signed the contract till leaving the venue the morning after our wedding things were perfect. The staff is polite, very attentive to your needs and a pleasure to be around. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. The views are to die for! We received a ton of compliments from our family and friends about how stunning the venue was, the food, staff...you name it. I would do it all over again and not change a single thing. I highly recommend The Garrison and Annie!!!! You will NOT be disappointed. -

From the moment I first arrived at The Garrison, I had a feeling it was the place for us; we were instantly breathless from the stunning view! Then after meeting with event manager Todd Smith, I knew for sure this was meant to be our venue. Todd was so warm & inviting, & made us feel like we were old friends right from the start. He was also so knowledgeable, & as he was showing us around the place, I could really envision all of my family & friends eating, dancing & laughing there. I knew we had to book this place!
Once we got the planning process started, Todd made everything so easy for us. He was extremely responsive, outlined all the information we needed to provide, accommodated all of our special requests, & worked with us to make our vision a reality. He really had it all covered, & used the information from our planning meeting to create the mother of all timelines! He coordinated the logistics with all my vendors on my behalf, which really allowed me to enjoy my wedding day. There’s always stress with planning a wedding, but the one thing I knew I didn’t have to worry about was the venue. By the time I arrived on the big day, I was so relaxed & just ready to party!
As for our big day, there are no words to describe how thrilled we were with everything! All of our guests RAVED about the food, the service, the view, everything! Everyone was saying it was the best wedding they’ve been to in years, & that the love & energy in the room was off the charts. My only regret is not eating more of the food, because everyone said it was phenomenal!
It was a priceless experience, from start to finish. I'm just so sad that it's over, I want to do it all again! Todd truly ensured we had the best day of our lives, & I can’t say enough good things about him & The Garrison! THANK YOU!!
With love,
Samantha & Bill C. -

My husband and I got engaged in June 2015, and my parents decided to visit the Garrison as a venue option while I was away for the weekend. They were instantly enamored by The Garrison and the wedding planner, Todd Smith, so in love that they even decided to put the non-refundable deposit down (without the bride and groom even seeing it!) because they just knew that we too would fall in love at first sight. And they were 100% right.
Besides the obvious, the breathtaking views of the Hudson, the lush property grounds, the dreamy ceremony arbor overlooking the mountains, the floor to ceiling windows throughout the venue, and the top notch food ratings, Todd went above and beyond to make our day one that we would always remember. From our first meeting with Todd, I knew we were on the same page. He is honest, genuine, and so much fun to work with! We told Todd we were concerned about lines forming at the bar area, as we have been to so many weddings where there aren’t enough bartenders. Todd explained, “oh no, we do not do lines here sweetie”, so we trusted him, and he proved us right. There wasn’t an empty glass in the house. Throughout the entire planning process, if you had a random question, you could just e-mail Todd and he would always get right back to you.
The food!!! My husband and I had our taste testing at The Garrison, and we still dream about the steak to this day. People are still asking us about the food, even two months later. We opted for a three course meal, instead of a four course meal, because we wanted to leave extra time for dancing. Todd offered us an additional passed hors devours during cocktail hour, in place of the four course meal! We got the mini lobster rolls, which were a huge crowd pleaser, obviously. Our guests are still talking about the mini philly cheesesteaks, the mac and cheese, pulled pork and brisket. He even made sure we had our signature wedding cocktail “John Dalys” for our cocktail hour and reception. Todd gets wedd -

We are so incredibly grateful to the Garrison, and in particular, Todd Smith, for being such a perfect venue for our wedding. It is a cliche to say, but it is true for us – our wedding was the happiest day of our lives, and that was due in large part to how easy it was. Todd and his staff were so prepared and accommodating and professional that we didn't spend a single moment doing anything but enjoying each other's company.
The venue itself is spectacular. We got married overlooking the Hudson Valley on a beautiful sunny day. The sun sets behind the venue just as the reception gets going. The design inside is clean and modern and sophisticated. The food is lightyears ahead of wedding food you are used to eating.
We spent a year and a half planning our wedding, sending countless emails to Todd, and meeting with him one on one many times. He was always responsive, charming, and professional. He managed everything on the day of, from run of show to set up to coordinating vendors to clean up. We could not have had such a fun wedding without him.
The Garrison was the best choice that we made for our wedding and our only regret is that we can’t do everything here again. -

Our son and daughter-in-law were recently married at The Garrison on a spectacular September Sunday afternoon. The venue was selected more than a year ago, soon after a trip up from their home in NYC. It reflected all that they wanted for their wedding day - rustic, elegant, stunningly beautiful views of the Hudson River, outstanding farm-to-table food, a beautiful, airy party room, and very experienced staff.
An added indescribable benefit was the event planner, Todd Smith, who was their contact. He made the preparations fun and so much easier. He also provided a thoughtful recommended vendor list from which the bride and groom made brilliant selections for their outstanding band, florist, photographer, and beauty team. It saved lots of stress and countless hours. There was no detail too tiny or too huge for Todd. Always there for our emails and phone calls, he was even available on his days off! He cared about the success of the wedding as much as we did.
The whole day was absolutely incredible. Our guests (none of whom had ever been to The Garrison before) had the time of their lives. It was such a memorable event that exceeded our highest expectations.
We are deeply grateful to Todd and his whole team for realizing the vision of my son and daughter-in-law. We highly recommend The Garrison, especially with Todd Smith serving as wedding coordinator.

We loved the venue and the layout. But what I didn't know is how much we would love Annie and the whole experience. Annie was totally on top of things but in a way that was reassuring and relaxing. She made the planning easy and the day of the wedding was so uneventful in terms of drama that I could really enjoy the time with friends and family. Everything suggestion Annie made was spot on--even ones we weren't sure of. The food was delicious. The space was amazing--even though it rained minutes after our outdoor ceremony. Overall, i would HIGHLY recommend this and ask for Annie! -

It's only been a week since our WONDERFUL wedding at The Garrison. Todd Smith, our wedding coordinator, was outstanding from the start. He is extremely organized, helpful with all our questions, responsive to email/calls as well as accommodating . The venue itself is beautiful and the food is quite delicious, it was perfect for our rustic/garden feel wedding. On the day of, Todd was there early with me and my bridesmaids and he helped run the show so I didn't have to worry about the small details. He confirmed itineraries with all my vendors beforehand so I didn't have to and truly focuses on the items my fiance and I may not know to ask. I would highly recommend The Garrison and Todd Smith in particular as the coordinator! -

We had our wedding at the Garrison this past August and both the day and the venue could not have been more perfect. There is not a better choice of venue for a wedding than the Garrison. The beautiful scenery and stunning views of the Hudson alone are enough to place The Garrison far above any other venue options, but its not all The Garrison has to offer. The top notch staff is friendly, professional and courteous. We had the pleasure of working with Bridget, who was on point and a tremendous help making both the wedding and the days leading up to it as painless and stress free for us as possible. The food served during the wedding was delicious and unlike most wedding dinner services, worth every penny. The interior of the venue is the elegant but not gaudy and perfectly compliments the surrounding scenery. As an additional service, The Garrison also offers the bride and groom a complimentary nights stay in one of their inn rooms which made our night significantly easier. Its been over a month now since the wedding and we are still receiving compliments from our guests on how perfect the night and the venue was. We truly believe our wedding day could not have gone any better and we attribute a large part of the reason why to choosing The Garrison as our venue. -

Book this venue if it is within your budget.
The service you get from the time you book until the end of the celebration is top notch, A-1, unbeatable from the in- house planner (Annie R.) who helps you get organized and stay on track, to the captains, servers, bartender, all!!!
The food is outstanding.

Our experience at The Garrison was absolutely phenomenal! The view overlooking the Hudson River is spectacular. Annie was extremely helpful and professional through the whole process. She was also such a pleasure to work with and was always very attentive to our questions. Most importantly, she made sure we were absolutely comfortable on the day of the wedding throughout the ceremony and reception. Everyone had an incredible time and was so impressed by the quality of the food, the views, the décor and the attention from the staff. Our bridal assistant showed a genuine interest in making sure we were happy and helped make it an exceptional night. The Garrison is a wonderful venue and we are still smiling from the unforgettable night! -

Two words: Todd Smith. He was our wedding coordinator at The Garrison, and he was simply the best. The Garrison speaks for itself - it is the perfect venue. Incredible ceremony space with Hudson River views, exquisite food, renovated/clean interior with floor to ceiling windows, and top notch service. Todd is the bonus. From our first phone conversation, I knew Todd and I would get along. And get along we did. Todd is responsive, organized, imaginative, and decisive. I have heard horror stories of "wedding planners" who end up complicating the process and making it more stressful for everyone involved. Todd is not a wedding planner. He is an event coordinator with impeccable taste and intimate knowledge of what works and what does not at The Garrison. It is obvious that Todd truly loves what he does, and he is 100% invested in every single wedding to make sure it is as flawless as possible. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, people kept asking me, "Are you stressed yet?". And the answer was always, "No, I'm feeling pretty good!" I felt organized and in good hands, knowing that Todd would not allow my wedding to be anything short of fabulous (which it was!) Todd and his staff (special shoutout to Donna the bridal attendant- she was amazing!) were attentive and discreet throughout the evening, making sure everything ran smoothly. We just got the photos from our photographer and holy moly are they gorgeous. Thank you Todd and everyone at The Garrison who contributed to our perfect wedding day! -

We live in NYC, just got married here 2 weeks ago! It was so wonderful and amazing!! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, atmosphere and service! Annie was so amazing, she was always available with emails and any question you can possibly think of. She is so talented and very good at what she does. We were able to enjoy the night very much and everything went very smoothly. After the wedding was over, my family and friends couldn't stop talking about how great the service and food were and how beautiful the venue was. We highly recommend this venue! -

We held our reception at The Garrison in mid-June and it was such a wonderful experience. The venue and grounds of The Garrison is what initially drew us in, but it was Todd’s responsiveness and attention to detail that made us want to have our wedding there. Todd was very attentive to all our questions throughout the months that we planned our wedding, providing recommendations and insight on everything from vendors to lodging when we needed ideas. Leading up to the wedding, we met and discussed all the details in advance and Todd and his team were so organized, knowledgeable, accommodating and professional. The day of our wedding, Todd and his team ran everything for us in an attentive, yet discreet way. Our guests were commenting afterwards about how stunning the grounds and spaces were (especially during sunset), how delicious the food was and how beautiful the reception was overall. -

We got married on July 9th and our wedding could not have been more perfect! We worked with Todd and he was extremely experienced and organized. From the moment we walked in to check out the venue for the first time Todd blew us away with his professionalism and kindness. He gave opinions but was also extremely responsive to what we wanted and we truly felt like guests at our own wedding. Karina worked with me as well and she was so sweet and knowledgeable, helping me relax right before I walked down the aisle, keeping the events running smoothly and always being available to help with anything we needed.
Our wedding was perfect from the morning we woke up (the bridesmaids and I stayed at The Garrison Friday night) right up to the last shuttle bus leaving after the reception. Everyone raved about the food, music, and staff at The Garrison. Our guests raved about the food and, when they weren't eating, danced all night. We also go the sundae bar added on and highly recommend it. For a July evening it was the perfect way to end the night! All in all, we can't say enough good things about The Garrison. Everything about the venue was perfect and we can't thank Todd and his team enough for making it the best day and night of our lives. I can't wait to go back to The Garrison again and again for our anniversaries! -

From the moment my husband and I visited the Garrison, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The view and amenities speak for themselves - it's truly magical at the Garrison. However, what really made our day special was the attention to detail and support from Annie R., from the second we signed on, to the last dance of the night. If you are thinking of having your wedding at the Garrison, you can't go wrong - especially with Annie by your side. -

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Todd at The Garrison. When we went to visit The Garrison on a rainy day where you could hardly see the amazing view. We knew based on the simplicity and the view we could see that it was the place for us and we were never once disappointed. From there on, it was a smooth planning process with Todd who made sure to cover every detail and keep you organized. The stressful weeks leading up to the wedding, Todd was able to assist and offer he and his staff's help with set up of additional last minute items. Our guests were raving about the venue as we had a beautiful day in addition to the incredible farm to table food. Almost everyone, was outside trying to capture the breathtaking sunset. The Garrison is truly the best venue in the Hudson Valley if you are looking for a non-traditional space that doesn't need over the top decor because the picturesque venue and view speaks for itself. -

Where to even begin!? My husband and I fell in love with The Garrison from the minute we stopped by to look at the grounds. We didn't have an appointment and just dropped in - even so, event manager Todd Smith took the time to show us around and give us a tour. His accommodating nature and lightning quick responsiveness, coupled with the gorgeous panoramic views of the Hudson Valley, made our decision a no-brainer. From the very beginning, Todd made our experience nothing less than smooth and enjoyable. He really knows his stuff and has perfected the balance of making recommendations and organizing the event without being pushy or making us stressed. It was like having a full time wedding planner. We knew we could trust Todd and he, as well as the entire team at The Garrison, really delivered. Our reception was truly gorgeous and was the most perfect night we could have dreamed of. The service was top notch, responsive and professional, and all transitions were really smooth. Our guests couldn't stop telling us how amazing the views, ballroom, and the food were. (The food is AMAZING and FRESH - all seasonal and farm-to-table). They are still telling us how much fun they had and what an incredible night it was even 2 weeks later. I also stayed at the Inn the night before our wedding with my bridesmaids, which was a great and recommended experience. We loved having the spacious rooms to get ready in, and the bridal suite to have our hair and makeup done the morning of the event. I was even given a "bridal assistant" who brought water, coffee, and champagne for myself, the girls, and our hair/makeup vendors. She was fantastic throughout the whole night. Even Todd stopped up to check on us and make sure we were having fun and all was going well. We really can't say enough about how wonderful the whole weekend was thanks to this amazing team. I highly, highly recommend The Garrison and working with Todd Smith - you will have the best night of your life, just as we did! -

There are no words to describe how amazing The Garrison is! Annie and everyone who works at The Garrison worked so hard to make sure that we had the wedding of our dreams. The venue is so beautiful and our whole experience there was smooth from the very beginning. Annie was so accommodating and made sure that we had everything that we wanted, even if it was an amenity that they did not provide themselves. All her recommendations were amazing and she gave us some really great ideas that we hadn't thought of. Everyone raved about the food both in the cocktail hour and the wedding dinner itself. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with great farm to table food and an amazing staff. I wish we could do it all again!!

My husband and I got married in December 2015 at The Garrison. When we began our wedding planning journey, we were instantly overwhelmed by the amount of wedding venues...most which were wedding factories...cranking out wedding after wedding. We didn't want our wedding to be "just another wedding." We were looking for our venue to provide our guests with an experience at a wedding like they never had before. Once we walked into The Garrison, we both looked at each other and knew...this was it.
We were warmly greeted by Todd Smith, who is part of The Garrison Experience. Todd is the wedding coordinator, who ensures that your wedding runs smoothly from start to finish. From our first meeting with him, we knew we were in good hands. He is extremely organized and can see your "vision." If you're unsure of something (flowers, makeup and hair vendors, photo and video...), Todd is the guy to go to. Todd organized our wedding timeline to maximize our reception so that our guests and we could have more time dancing, as well as ensure all the important events were completed earlier in the evening. Because of Todd, our reception was seamless.
My husband and I are frequent diners at Valley Restaurant, and knew that the food served at our wedding would be top notch. The food at our wedding matched the quality and presentation that is expected at Valley. All 180 of our guests are still talking about how good the food was. As my husband and I ate our wedding meals, we watched each table get served, with all guests getting served at the same time...the way it should be!
The Garrison gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams. We look back at our photos and video, and time and time again our breath gets taken away. We can't thank everyone at The Garrison enough for making our Wedding Day, truly, the best day of our lives. It was a day we will never forget! -

Our winter wedding at the Garrison could not have been better if we tried,
A large part of this is due to Annie R. and her staff including Donna, Nick, and many others. Aside from the breathtaking views and scenery surrounding the venue, the staff went out of their way at every step to make the day exactly what we wanted and to move along perfectly.
Annie was a professional but also someone we could rely on to help us. She always had a suggestion of how we could make our wedding day what we wanted but never stood in the way if we were sure we wanted something specific. She just found a way to make it work. Her attention to detail calmed any nerves we had about sudden changes or missing something.
To say the food was amazing would be an insult to the chefs. At the cocktail hour especially, the variety and quality of the food were second to none. We're still getting compliments on how delicious everything was AND how it was continually being replenished throughout the event. During dinner, the waitstaff would come out as a group and deliver the dish to an entire table at once. Multiple guests loved this as it allowed everyone to start eating right away. We even had someone comment on the bar staff, saying that they were extremely attentive and good-natured, not something you normally see in event bartenders.
As a same sex couple we felt supported the entire way through and Annie was right there with us as we looked to put our take on a traditional experience.
Annie and her team assisted with every aspect of the night including the cake/cupcakes, shuttle for the hotel, the inn on premises, spa for some of the wedding party. Both our DJ and photographer were in constant communication with Annie all night which allowed everyone to work together seamlessly - even with some last minute surprises!
One of our friends, who is getting married later this year, wondered if she should change her venue to the Garrison instead! -

Have your wedding at the Garrison. Work with Annie Rozycki. It's the best decision we made as a couple.
Annie is a life saver. She is SMART and knowledgeable. She gives you choices but helps you narrow it down when you aren't sure. Can't decide between light brown and tan napkins? Whether to change your ceremony location at the last minute from outdoor to indoor when temperature drops to 40s and it begins to snow in October? Didn't know you were supposed to put together a basket for the bathroom? That guest cancelled two days before the wedding?? She will patiently answer all of your questions, big and small. She will guide you and help you during the most stressful times of planning your wedding. She is decisive, kind, and thoughtful. There is no one else that could have better planned and orchestrated our wedding.
The venue is also SPECTACULAR. The view of the Hudson Valley is stunning. Because of the floor-to-ceiling glass walls, you can appreciate the view from anywhere. The food was fantastic too-- they even provided gluten-free meal for one of our guests. We got so many compliments during the wedding about the venue, the amazing staff, and food, and they still keep coming! -

We had our wedding at the Garrison two weeks ago and it was perfect! Other places had one standout selling point and then a few so-so features, whether that be the location, food, etc. At the Garrison, the location was breathtaking, the food was fantastic, the staff was exceptional -- we got the best of all worlds and didn't have to compromise on anything.
Central to this amazing experience was the leadership of Todd Smith. Todd was a pleasure to work with and an incredible resource -- he was so professional and so helpful from beginning to end. He was with us every step of the way, and worked with all of our vendors seamlessly so we could enjoy our wedding and not worry about a thing. He and his staff went above and beyond for everything, helping us have the most special and beautiful day of our lives. We are so incredibly glad we booked the Garrison -- it was one of the best decisions we made! We couldn't recommend it more! -

The Garrison was AMAZING for our wedding. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the venue, staff, food, everything! The food was to die for, their chef is really REALLY good, and I am a hard one to please!! They do everything seasonal, totally fresh (even our of their own garden on the properly!) and cooked to order. The food is really top notch, no boil bag, no feel of typical wedding food.
Todd, the wedding coordinator at the facility, was so organized, on top of everything, and eased any worries I had. He had the day planned out by 15 minute intervals and knew what everyone on his staff was doing and when!! Really wonderful!! We even got a personal staff member that catered to us during our day to make sure we had everything we could have possibly needed.
The views from the large windows throughout the venue were breathtaking. Knowing now what working with the Garrison is like, I would have chosen The Garrison faster and never looked at another place! Brides, this is your venue, you will be swept off of your feet!! -

If you are searching for a perfect wedding venue, this is the one!
We visited a few venues before visiting the Garrison and when I saw the amazing views and beautiful reception area, I knew that was the right place and that the search was over. We worked with Annie and she made everything so easy! She is very attentive and truly cares about you and your wedding day. She was extremely responsive every time my now husband and I had questions (and we had a lot of questions) and she answered them right away and helped with anything we needed.
The wedding day went so easy and smooth, just how we wanted. Annie, Ashley and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make sure we had the day we dreamed of. The venue looked gorgeous, the food was amazing, the organization of everything was perfect!
Everything went perfectly and we could not have asked for a better day, venue and team to work with! Thank you, Annie and the whole Garrison team! -

There are no words that can possibly describe the magic of our wedding at The Garrison. From the moment we signed the contract -- no, wait - from the moment we VISITED for the first time, Annie was incredible. She took care of everything from the very beginning, but made sure our input and creative ideas were fully implemented. Anything we wanted, she made happen. Her vendor list was amazing and from it we had the most beautiful flowers, comfortable transportation for our guests and music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night.
The views and sunset were incredible. People couldn't believe how magical it felt! All of our family and friends felt so taken care of, and our guests left saying that it was the most special wedding they've ever been at. They raved for weeks about the food, the views and the staff. So it wasn't just the bride and groom, or just our families - EVERYONE felt so taken care of, and this was all spearheaded by Annie. We love you Annie and if we could get married all over again, we'd do it at The Garrison!! -

We looked throughout the lower Hudson Valley for the perfect location for our daughter's wedding. We wanted simplicity, beauty, elegance - seemingly contradictory things - but not at The Garrison. The wedding ceremony took place outdoors overlooking the Hudson and its surrounding hills. Our guests were astounded by its serenity and beauty. The cocktail hour was held indoors with delicious appetizers and drinks served freely. But the reception room topped the cake!! It was very open and very bright, with large glass windows giving unbelievable views of the Hudson Valley. The food and service, both exemplary, just added to the phenomenal success of our event!!
The Garrison's Event Manager, Annie Rozycki, was very special, in fact, a key ingredient, to its success! Knowledgeable, helpful, possessing a most necessary sense of humor and MOST patient as well, she not only supervised the event and ALL its preparations but also made recommendations for vendors that were truly OUTSTANDING : from a fantastic DJ. (David Nazario) to a brilliant floral arranger (Judy Bilotti), and even a babysitter.
The Garrison is most fortunate to have her on their staff!!
Please know that my comments about The Garrison are not just mine but a compilation of the feelings of so many guests who took the time to write to us about The Perfect Wedding! -

I fondly remember walking into The Garrison back in the winter of 2013 and my fiance saying, "where do we sign?" If the view doesn't sell you, the food will. And if that doesn't do it, the fabulous staff will! We had the privilege of working with Annie. Annie is fantastic at what she does and is such a kind person. Extremely professional and responsive, and also that calm, reassuring type friend you need during wedding planning :) It was truly an enjoyable year of wedding planning. Annie inconspicuously made sure every detail was handled perfectly. The day was seamless, and I thank Annie and the staff at The Garrison for that. The food is off the charts; farm-to-table and fresh; a refreshing wedding meal! Walking around during dinner and we noticed our guests' plates were clean white! The large, rustic farm tables coupled with the classic linens and china - perfection. I could go on….. :)
Our April 25th wedding at The Garrison was a fairytale dream come true at this elegant, romantic Hudson Valley location. HIGHLY recommended. Thank you Annie & The Garrison ! <3 -

We wish that we could give Todd and the staff at the Garrison more than five stars. Our wedding was an absolute fairytale come true. The ceremony space is breathtaking, yet surprisingly intimate. The views from all of the spaces speak for themselves. All of the food was outstanding - all the cocktail hour passed items, station and dinner of course were really well prepared.
A few of our guests mentioned specifically that throughout the whole day, every need and comfort was met at the right time without being obtrusive.
All the way fr -

Looking for a beautiful setting with fresh, farm to table food for your wedding? LOOK NO FURTHER! I immediately fell in love with The Garrison site unseen. I live in FL and was planning my NY destination wedding. One winter trip to NY we stopped at The Garrison and met with Annie. I knew this is where my big day had to be! We continued to look at more venues that day but i kept comparing everything to The Garrison. After months of negotiations with Annie on dates and minimums i finally signed our contract. I plan events for a living so my expectations are some what different than to the average bride. Annie handled me each time with ease (bless her heart). I could go on and on, but most important the day of when we said our "I DO's" - Annie, Tara and the Garrison staff were exceptional, the food phenomenal, the views stunning....THE PERFECT DAY i can't say i would change a thing! Look no further and go to The Garrison today to book your special day - you won't regret it!!! -
