Tappan Hill is a cut above the rest. We were married on a perfect mid-November day at Tappan Hill - it was truly the best day of our lives. My wife and I were engaged in July of 2...021 and began looking at venues primarily in Long Island, as that's where we are from. After visiting about 10 venues, we never had the 'feeling' that we were looking for. So, we decided to visit TH in September of 2021. Upon arriving, we both were stunned with how beautiful both Tarrytown as well as the actual grounds of TH was. We had seen nothing like it before and we were hooked on the beautiful property. The cocktail room is amazing with floor-ceiling windows overlooking the gorgeous well-kept grounds and Hudson River. The reception hall is no different with a very classy setting with the same views. Our guide, Caitlin, was so nice throughout the entire experience, and we were delighted to hear that November 2022 dates were available. Upon leaving, they provided us with a parting gift, which was a very nice touch considering we didn't book the venue. But, all of these experiences left an impact on us such that we put a hold on our date within hours of leaving TH (Caitlin was not pushy in any way and allowed us to "hold" the date). After a week, we decided to commit. We were so happy, and this began our year+ wait!
Fast forward to mid-July to our tasting, and it was one of the best nights of our summer. Upon arriving we were treated like royalty, as the night was similar to a wedding reception. All of the staff were amazing and extremely friendly. But, the food, and let me emphasize, was truly amazing. We were blown away by the quality, taste, portion sizes, and presentation . This was a huge relief and we left ecstatic for our big day rapidly approaching.
During the early fall months we were then introduced to our event Manager, Vanessa, who would be with us on the day of our wedding. She was very nice and guided us through the process and left us feeling like she had everything under control, which was great to feel. We met with Vanessa a total of three times, and in the background, Vanessa coordinated with our vendors and took care of the fine tuning details.
On the day of the wedding, we arrived early to take pictures at the venue. Vanessa and our bridal attendant, Savannah, greeted us and followed the wedding party around making sure that we had everything we needed. They provided snacks and drinks as well, which was unexpected but so nice. At one point my wife's dress got fairly dirty from the wet grounds (it rained at night). But, I've never seen such dedication by Savannah and the staff to clean her dress to be spotless - it was incredible and we knew we were in good hands. Once we returned from the mass, we attended our cocktail hour which was perfect. The food was spectacular and the room was decorated beautifully. Upon entering the reception, were so taken aback by the beauty of the venue - it was exactly how we dreamed it to be. The whole night was perfect from here on out - the staff, the food, the general service. All perfect. When the night was over, we had our guests coming up to us telling us how our wedding was the best ever that they ever went to (on multiple occasions!). We attribute a huge part of that to TH - it truly is a top notch venue. We're so happy to have had the best day of our lives here; we couldn't have imagined anything different. It was truly perfect. Don't hesitate - book this venue if you can!
