in New York-Hudson Valley
Hi Girls. I am recently engaged and new to the knot (just signed up last week). I'm from NJ but interested in possibly having my wedding in NY along the hudson (Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Westchester area) with about 300 invited guests.

I'm interested in the Abigail Kirsch property in Tarrytown --also have heard good things about Pearl River Hilton. Would love to get some feedback from anyone getting married or who has attended a reception at either of these venues.

Also curious to know if anyone has info/feedback on Osborne castle? Or any other venues that can hold 300 comfortable with a nice atmosphere. I'm looking for a nice venue with beautiful grounds and/or water view.

Any help you can offer is appreciated. And of course, congrats to everyone. I wish you best of luck with your wedding planning.

Thanks,
Kim

    The View on the Hudson in Piermont is very nice and has beautiful views of the Hudson River and Tappan Zee bridge.

    The place that I booked has beautiful grounds and nice views as well as the NYC skyline on a nice day - it's called New York Country Club.

    Sorry, I don't know much about Westchester locations.

    The View in Piermont is nice but will not hold 300 guests.  I got married at Patriot Hills and loved it.  Not sure it's what you're looking for, but we had a great experience with them!

    I totally agree with pp, Villa Barone is really lovely. My sister had her reception there a few years ago and it was beautiful. Since then they've finished their renovations and it's gorgeous. The food was delicious and the service was great.

    I went to a wedding at the Pearl River Hilton and loved it!! The food was really good and they have an awesome vienese spread. We were in the one ballroom and all of a sudden the doors on the dancefloor started to slide open and it was the biggest vienese spread I have ever seen. They had any type of desert you could think of. Also during the coktail hour they had all these different stations you could think of, it was sooo good. I wanted to get married there but I know it's expensive I want to say over $120 a plate so not sure what it is now. Good Luck!!

    Hello fellow New Jersey-ite!

    I grew up in Westchester, so I always knew I HAD to have my wedding in the Hudson Valley. I remember seeing a wedding one day as a child, while I was at Bear Mnt. State park and saying "thats it--thats what I want"

    Our wedding isnt for more than a year, and we are doing the overlook lodge's hudson ballroom (the second largest venue on location), but so far everything has been going really well.

    The prices are really really low, though I think that might change once renovations are complete. (you cant see the renovations at all from our venue--we are totally up the mountain). And the proceeds go to help supporting the state parks.

    I dont know when you are having your wedding, since you would need the Inn itself (the largest venue), which is under renovation until 2012, I think, but maybe fall of next year.
