Kittle House Wedding Celebration Was a Dream!

I grew up going to Kittle House on a regular basis, and when it came time to have my wedding I knew I wanted it to be at Kittle House! It's the perfect classic, cozy, historic, and amazing-food vibe we were looking for for our wedding of 125 people. We loved the indoor and outdoor abilities of Kittle House, which came in extra handy with COVID. As I'm sure you've read in other reviews, Kimberly is THE BEST. After every call or email with her I felt so at ease, and her suggestions and instincts were spot on. Kittle House was extremely flexible both in terms of us switching our date due to COVID, as well as changes to our evening such as having a vow renewal and other small touches. Plus, staying at the inn is just so special and quaint! And the food there is the. best. So glad we went with Kittle House!

The most wonderful venue and team

We got married in May 2023 at Crabtree's Kittle House and it was an amazing experience from start to end. We wanted an intimate venue (that could still hold a crowd of ~180 guests) with beautiful indoor and outdoor space in case of inclement weather (cause NY spring is unpredictable). Crabtree's fit the bill.

The wedding industry can feel very cookie cutter and the experience with Kimberly and the team at Crabtree's it was anything but. From the very first time we met Kimberly we felt cared for - she and the team went above and beyond in working with us to ensure vegan / non-alcoholic options felt just as special as the more typical standard / alcoholic options (even developing a custom wedding mocktail to go along with our wedding cocktail, and providing sparkling apple cider alongside champagne for toasts).

Leading up to the wedding and on the day-of Kimberly and the team (both at the Restaurant and Inn) were extraordinary communicative and supportive. Kimberly always has a Plan B (and C and D) in mind should Plan A fail (like easily helping to pivot to a bigger outdoor tent when we saw rain on the forecast a few days out).

It's also worth noting that of all the venues we visited Kimberly and her team were the most welcoming of us as an LGBTQ+ couple - sharing examples of beautiful queer weddings they've hosted over the years.

Each and every one of our wedding vendors was outstanding but the day would've been nothing without Kimberly and the Crabtree's Kittle House team. We'd get married there again in a heartbeat.

August Wedding

We couldn't be happier with our choice to have our ceremony and reception at Crabtree's Kittle House. Working with Kimberly Ann made our planning go so smoothly. She and her team were extremely responsive. The food was fantastic, and the back garden was the perfect setting for our ceremony and cocktail hour.
