We had our wedding at Tappan Hill Mansion in October 2025, and it was absolutely magical from start to finish. From the moment we first toured the beautiful grounds, we knew it was...
the perfect place for us to be married and the experience only exceeded our expectations!
The food and service were phenomenal. Every single dish lived up to Tappan Hill’s incredible reputation. Many of our guests were Indian and vegetarian, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate everyone’s dietary needs. We even collaborated with the chefs to include special Indian sweets for our Hindu ceremony, and guests are still raving about how delicious everything was!
Throughout the planning process, their communication was seamless and professional. We never felt like “just another couple” and the staff truly made us feel celebrated and cared for every step of the way.
A special shoutout to John, our event manager, who was an absolute dream to work with. He was attentive, organized, and always making sure we felt at ease. His warmth, professionalism, and calm demeanor made the day flow effortlessly. And Julia, my bridal attendant, deserves her own five stars! She was so kind and attentive! She made sure I was comfortable, well-fed, and even icing my feet at one point. Tappan Hill is a superb venue in every way, and we’ll be forever grateful to their team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

From the moment we stepped foot in the rotunda of Tappan Hill Mansion we knew we wanted to be married there. And everything along our process was made very simple with their help. ...
You get more than what you pay for with them from the entire experience, staff members to help you and answer questions along the way as well as the day of. The guests that attended were highly complimentary to the food and aura of the venue, many stating it was the best experience they've had at a wedding. They were also very accommodating for all the dietary restrictions we had in our guests and were very accessible for and ability restrictions as well. I would recommend Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill for anybody getting married or hosting another event there, and I hope I get to go back in the future for another event.

We had a truly incredible experience with our October 2024 wedding at Tappan Hill Mansion. The staff was out of this world kind, hospitable, supportive, etc. from the get go. They ...
worked so seamlessly with all of my vendors, my family, and my husband and I to make sure we had our dream day. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience with our venue. They made the planning process so easy, and executed everything to exceed my expectations. From leaning about us and our guests to setting up our big seating chart installation, placing every placecard/menu/charger/detail so thoughtfully, etc. Not only was the team super professional and supportive, but they also made our wedding day so much more special with their encouraging, calming, confident presence. Our guests RAVED about the food and drinks and service. Frankly, it's 6 months later and they're still talking about the first course pasta dish. We had the best time, it was a beautiful scene, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to ring in our big day.

John, our event coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with—so helpful, kind, loving, competent, and attentive. He made sure everything ran smoothly and put us completely at ease. Our bridal attendants, Caitlin and Tiffany, were beyond amazing—they treated us like royalty and were so helpful, kind, sweet and full of sunshine that they made our day even better than we could have imagined.
Everything was executed flawlessly—from the breathtaking setup to the incredible food (our guests are still raving about it!). We have been to many weddings, but we have never experienced this level of attentiveness, care, and love. The staff at Tappan Hill truly goes above and beyond to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we are so grateful.
If you’re considering Tappan Hill for your wedding, don’t hesitate—it’s pure perfection! Blown away by the service, the beauty, and the love that went into our day. Truly incredible!

for the the first year and a half before we were connected with our day-of coordinator, John. We then had a great experience with John, who helped to ensure all of the details were taken care of and that everything went where it needed to go. As soon as we stepped into Tappan Hill on our wedding day, we didn't have to lift a finger. Everyone was attentive and took such care of details, I had complete faith that everything would happen the way it needed to. Everything was set up beautifully, my bridal attendant Marleny was always there when I needed something, but never in my way, and the staff and service was unbeatable. The food was also incredible! We are so happy we chose Tappan Hill - they made our day the absolute perfect day.

We can't say enough good things about Tappan Hill. The team was absolutely exceptional and made our wedding day run so smoothly. There is literally so much I could say but I will t...
ry to focus on some of the highlights:
- Our event coordinator (John Glovack) was an absolute godsend. From the moment we met him two months out from our wedding we knew we'd hit the jackpot. He was positive, organized, flexible and RESPONSIVE. On the days when he was working we never went more than a few hours before we heard a reply from him. He kept track of all of our requests (food, timeline etc.) and never asked the same question twice. I don't know how he does it, but he was a huge help in the final weeks to work though all the nuances and questions from our other vendors!
- The day-of bridal attendant (Marleny) was also fantastic. For example, we arrived at the venue with multiple boxes filled with all kinds of decor. Instead of having to micro-manage and direct her on where everything should go, she was able to make some educated guesses and figure out 95% of it by herself. Periodically as I was getting ready she would come back and show me photos of where she had set things up, and I truly had no notes! She was also so helpful throughout the day (brought me water before I asked for it, helped us stay on schedule, bustled my dress after the ceremony etc.) - allowing my bridesmaids and I to be as relaxed as possible! At the end of the night, she also helped make sure all of our stuff was packed up and ready to leave, saving me the headache of trying to run around and corral everything.
- Our wedding ran like a well oiled machine. The staff is so good and the service was extremely prompt. No one was ever waiting in a line for a drink, or sitting at their table wondering where their food was!
- Speaking of the food, the food here was amazing! From our cocktail hour through to our afterparty, all of our guests commented on how delicious everything was. Not something you always get to say with wedding food to begin with, but the food here is absolutely restaurant quality!
If we had the chance to do it all over again we would pick Tappan Hill in a heartbeat. We are so grateful for John, Marleny and the whole team for making the wedding of our dreams a reality!

We had our wedding at Tappan Hill in June 2024 and had such an incredible experience! The whole team did such an amazing job throughout the planning process and on the day itself. ...
Caitlin was such a great support in the early planning days, and we were lucky to have John as our event manager to guide us through the final planning and the wedding day itself. John was such a joy to work with and always brought such a positive and supportive energy. Our wedding exceeded all our expectations and we truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. John took care of all the logistics so we could just relax and enjoy our special day. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful and there were tons of great locations to take photos outside on the venue grounds. All the staff was so supportive and helpful and made the entire event run without a hitch. We did a pescatarian/vegan friendly menu and heard from so many guests how much they loved the food.

FIVE STARS FIVE STARS FIVE STARS!
My husband (eeeeh!) and I got married at Tappan Hill on 5/11/24 and it was PERFECTION.
From the very moment we saw this venue during our site to...
urs, we knew we had to be married here. The ceremony location is simply breathtaking, and the entire location is beautiful & very well-kept.
Upon booking, communication with Caitlin was organized and prompt and client saervices continued to "wow" us when we were assigned our dedicated event manager John Glovack.
First, a few words about John... he is INCREDIBLE. He is not only all the things you'd hope for in a wedding manager (organized, capable, communicative) but also incredibly kind, friendly, funny, and calming. We truly couldn't have done it without him, and owe him a hundred, million "thanks".
Next, a special shoutout to our bridal attendant Marleney - she was ON point. She didn't leave a single stone unturned; offering guidance, support, and such careful attention, not just to the bride & groom, but our entire wedding party. No matter where we turned, there was Marleney with a pin to fix our hair, a drink to calm our nerves, a helping hand for outfit changes, and plenty of snacks to take home to enjoy.
Finally, the wedding itself. Everything went off without a hitch. The entire staff is incredibly capable, and professional. It was so important to us to be surrounded by such rockstars on such an important day, they truly allowed us to enjoy our moment & let normal wedding day stresses fade away. The food was DELICIOUS, served seamlessly and beautifully, and the bar service kept the drinks flowing.
Our guests have had only the most glowing things to say about Tappan Hill and the whole experience.
We had an incredible time and sincerely thank everyone at Tappan Hall for being such a huge part of it.

The most magical venue that exceeded all of our dreams for the perfect night. We tied the knot at Tappan Hill Mansion a little over a month ago and we can’t stop talking about it. ...
This place is special – it’s charming, it’s elegant, it’s cozy and it’s timeless. Tappan Hill has so much personality and made us feel like we were home the second we walked in, and sure enough we walked out with a contract in hand. The food at Tappan Hill is truly like no other. The attention to detail, peoples allergies or restrictions, and the quality was above par. Every single bite we had was better than the next. Every step of the way the team at Tappan Hill is there to answer all of your questions, and requests, no matter how many times you’ve phrased it or how wild your request is. No idea was off limits or too crazy for them to execute and the team does everything they can to make sure that the couple has the best night. Caitlin was a joy to work with and quick to respond during the booking & planning process. Vanessa was an absolute powerhouse, no detail was left unturned, and her organization was flawless. She was such a brightness on our wedding day and we are so thankful she was there to run the day and think of all the logistics so we could just enjoy it. Our bridal attendant, Katelyn, was phenomenal, ensuring I (the bride) was catered to at every moment during the getting ready, and when it came time for ceremony & pictures, she was right there when I turned to need something. We can’t thank the Tappan Hill staff enough for putting their best foot forward so we could have our special day. It was the best venue, best food, and best staff. Can’t recommend enough!

The staff at Tappan Hill Mansion were exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was executed flawlessly. The event coordinators were professional, organized, and truly invested in making our wedding day unforgettable. They worked closely with us throughout the planning process, offering valuable insights and accommodating our every request.
The pavilion room where we held our reception was nothing short of spectacular. The elegant décor and attention to detail created an atmosphere of sophistication and charm. Our guests were equally impressed by the impeccable service and the culinary delights prepared by the talented in-house catering team. The menu was diverse, and the food was absolutely delicious – a true feast for the senses.
One of the standout features of Tappan Hill Mansion is its versatility. Whether you envision an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, the venue can be tailored to suit your vision. The expansive outdoor terrace provided a delightful space for our guests to enjoy cocktails while taking in the scenic views.
The entire team at Tappan Hill Mansion made us feel like VIPs on our wedding day. They orchestrated the event seamlessly, allowing us to relax and savor every moment. Our guests are still raving about the venue, praising its beauty and the overall experience.

Flawless, magnificent, beautiful, detail oriented and picturesque are a few descriptive words that I would use to describe the interactions with the team and venue at Abigail Kirsc...
h at Tappan Hill.
From the first time my family and I interfaced with Caitlin, through the planing and execution process with Vanessa, sheer delight was the feeling that we experienced. My father-in-law has done events on many continents and he said that few compare to the attention to detail and swift responses that we received from Vanessa and our team.
Mind you, this wedding was planned from beginning to end in 2 months. The bride and groom were in California, the parents of the groom were in Cape Cod and the parents of the bride were in China. The custom timeline, the yes I can attitude and the uniqueness of the venue made for a very classy family and friends oriented evening.
What we particularly enjoyed was that the event was staged at three different locations at the venue. A gorgeous outdoor environment for the ceremony, an upstairs somewhat intimate turreted room for the cocktail hour with views of the Hudson and an elegant reception in a sun filled ballroom. The whimsical florals were done by Ashley at Damselfly Designs lent an avant garden, trendy ethereal feel to the evening. DJ Ross from Hank Lane Music kept everyone on their feet with a dance vibe that was well executed.
The appetizers and food would make any 5 star restaurant jealous of the made to order quality and execution. Many of the quests remarked that it was some of the best food that they have had at an event. And trust me, these guests are quite discerning. The wine selection served, totally complimented the meals and met with the most discerning palates.
Ending with a spectacular sparkler exit truly capped off a wonderful evening.
The staff was over the top. Each table had their own very capable and friendly wait staff. They went over and above. The bartenders were great and churned out the drink of the evening, “lychee martinis “ and a myriad of other drinks with ease and professionalism. Everyone, without exception, did a stellar job. My Bridal attendant Merelene (sorry I don’t know how to spell her name) was always there to lend helping hand no matter what the task.
Vanessa thanks for acting as a brilliant choreographer to create the wedding of my dreams. You truly are an expert at your job. You can feel the love and care that you put into your efforts to create a truly personal memorable experience for each bride.

Tappan Hill provides a super high-end wedding experience! I cannot say enough good things about this venue, but I will list the highlights.
First, they are so incredibly organize...
d. Our coordinator at the venue always answered emails promptly and helped immensely with every tiny detail. For example, we had a catering delivery of cookies to the venue on the wedding day, and all I had to do was send the delivery guy our Tappan Hill coordinator's phone number. She handled everything else seamlessly so all I saw was the final set up at the end of the wedding. I had so much less stress on the wedding day and leading up to the wedding because I was confident that Tappan Hill knew what they were doing to a T.
Second, they will treat you like VIPs. It was clear that we were our coordinator's #1 priority. We also had a bridal attendant who was always there to grab us water, drinks, and make sure we could try every piece of food. She even helped me use the restroom (which is hard in a wedding dress!) and put my hair up toward the end of the night. It sounds like a small thing, but I told her I was sweaty and wanted my hair up and she immediately sprung into action, finding me hair ties and hair spray and doing my hair so well that guests thought it was actually a planned second hair style for the night.
Third, you can't beat their food. Every plate we had was delicious. We got so many compliments from guests saying it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. There are so many fun cake flavors to choose from too!
To sum up, this is an absolutely stunning venue with so many different places to take gorgeous pictures, a super professional and buttoned-up staff that will treat you like royalty, and exceptional food! I am SO happy we had our wedding here and wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you to Vanessa and Julia and the rest of the Tappan Hill team!

From beginning to end we had a great experience. Our wedding venue coordinator, Vanessa, was on point with making our day perfect. She ran through the plans for the day beforehand, did a quick run-through of the ceremony the day of, and made sure every part of our wedding ran without a hitch.
All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue, and we were able to get amazing pictures we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. I would recommend Tappan Hill to anyone who wants a special and memorable wedding day.

My husband and I had the most perfect wedding at Tappan Hill this past weekend!
The venue space is immaculate and the food is insanely good (actually shockingly good for wedding ...
food).
From the second we toured the venue with Caitlin Lennox and signed our contract 18 months ago, we knew we were in good hands, but we could have never imagined it would be as perfect as it was.
Tappan Hill made the wedding planning process a breeze- they were able to accommodate every detail we hoped for, and even added things we couldn’t even dream of.
In the weeks leading up to our big day we were paired up with our day-of coordinator, Vanessa Woodbury- who is kind, calm, and the most organized person ever. She runs a tight ship, but put our experience above everything. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and was excellent at communicating with us.
Our special day was flawless, the entire staff was incredible, and we cannot thank Tappan Hill enough for helping us throw one hell of a party!

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!

My wife and I were married here in early November and a month later I don't think we can really find the words to describe how incredible the team at Abigail Kirsch was. When we fi...
rst visited the venue, Caitlin was far and away the best person we worked with on any venue tours. She was incredibly informative and made us feel at ease with questions around such an important decision. Over the course of our ~15 months of planning she was always available to answer questions for us. We were introduced to John, the best possible event coordinator we could've imagined. We worked with John for only about two months prior to the wedding but he helped us accomplish over a years worth of work to perfection in that time frame. The other Caitlin was my wife's bridal attendant and she was beyond spectacular and we felt like we had a close friend by our side throughout the day. The food is so good that you can't even believe you're at a wedding and the amount of compliments we got from our guests about how good the entire staff was can't be stated enough. It was 70 degrees in November on our wedding day and I know you can't control the weather but part of me chooses to believe the entire team at Abigail Kirsch was able to make that possible, too!

Tappan Hill is the absolute best. The staff has everything down to a science to make your wedding day a dream. From the moment we booked, Caitlin was professional and communicative...
through the entire process. Vanessa was our event manager and she was incredible. She was calm, focused, and attentive through all the planning and on the day of the wedding. I was also lucky enough to have Marleny as my bridal attendant and she was wonderful! She and Vanessa were soothing and optimistic, and this positive energy spread to our families and guests. The entire staff at Tappan Hill was so accommodating and kind. My husband and I both have Celiac disease, so the chef made an entirely gluten free menu for our wedding! Our guests are still raving about our food and the experience overall. We are thrilled we chose Tappan Hill as our venue. Between the beautiful scenery, food, staff, and ambiance, you are in great hands at Tappan Hill.

My fiance and I got engaged about a year ago. After we got engaged we toured probably 10 different wedding venues throughout Westchester. Tappan Hill was our favorite choice and n...
ow having gotten married there a week and a half ago, I can't say enough how happy we are we chose Tappan Hill Mansion. From the incredible food, to the scenary, to the amazing staff, Tappan Hill goes above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is perfect. Robert, who we started working with a few months ahead of our wedding regarding catering details and pretty much every other detail was so easy to work with and so responsive to every email I sent him leading up to the wedding. I started to get very stressed in the weeks leading up to the wedding as some of our guests canceled due to covid or sick children etc. Robert was so helpful and left me feeling confident despite all the last minute changes. You don't realize how important it is to have dedicated reliable staff until those final chaotic weeks leading up to your wedding day. Our day of attendant was a young woman named Caitlin. She was also incredible - from helping bustle my dress to always ensuring I had food and a drink in hand, she went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed on our wedding day. Circling back to the food, guests told me it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. A lot of our guests are in their 30s/40s so these were people who had been to a lot of weddings at this point. I just can't say enough good things about Tappan Hill Mansion, how amazing all the staff is and how happy I am my husband and I got married there. It was truly a dream.

We would highly recommend Tappan Hill for your special day - it's perfect!

ssed)! Jason ensured that everything ran smoothly, and was very helpful in the planning process! The entire THM staff was very accommodating to us, especially when we needed to postpone our wedding due to Covid-19. They take care of SO MANY details that friends planning weddings had to manage themselves (e.g., rentals, vendor day-of needs, decor setup, etc.), and though it was hard for me to 'let things go' as a Type A bride, Jason assured me throughout the months and weeks leading up that everything was under control, and it was!! Our guests are still talking about the incredible food, and how beautiful our venue was for our fairytale fall wedding. We highly recommend booking your wedding at Tappan Hill!

We just waned to take the time to state here what an absolute pleasure and honor it was having our wedding at Tappan Hill Mansion. While we had high expectations due to rave review...

A special shout out goes to the Director of Event Services Jason Duchesne, who went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was a success from start to finish. The beautiful venue and atmosphere was only topped by the frankly outstanding menu, and our guests are still contacting us to let us know how much they loved the food! Thanks again to Tappan Hill, and don’t even think twice before booking!!

When we started looking at wedding venues, my husband and I really had no idea where to start. We were located in a different country, and weren’t sure we would even be able to vis...
it the venue before the wedding took place. Luckily we found Tappan Hill, and they had a date that perfectly matched our needs. Caitlin in the sales team was absolutely fantastic talking us through everything in the beginning, and explaining all the details. Since we live in a different country, we sent my parents on tours and included them on all calls, and Caitlin was wonderful about making sure they were always in the loop. She was also great at helping us navigate planning during a pandemic and making sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. When we met Jason who would be our coordinator, his calm demeanor assured us he would have everything under control. He answered all our questions, but where Tappan Hill really blew us away was the actual wedding. The entire day ran so smoothly, it was like a dream. Everyone always says something will go wrong on your wedding day, but Tappan Hill has everything down to a science. They have two separate ballrooms, but don’t worry, you won’t even realize there is another event going on! Everyone was so friendly, and I also can’t speak highly enough of Marleny the bridal attendant! She was incredibly attentive, and even got a box of leftovers from cocktail hour made up for my husband to take home! The food was absolutely incredible, and really exceeded our expectations (which were already high to begin with just from looking at the pictures!). I should also note we pulled heavily from their seasoned vendors list, and were equally impressed with everyone we hired off of it. We absolutely loved our wedding at Tappan Hill, and are already recommending it to all of our engaged friends.

I don't know where to begin with how wonderful Tappan Hill was during our too long wedding planning process. From our initial meeting with Caitlin to guiding us through postponemen...
t with Covid to finally having the wedding of our dreams, everyone at Tappan went above and beyond.
The food was amazing, I just wish I got to have more of it. This isn't the fault of the venue, my sisters ate the food in the bridal suite while my husband and I were taking photos. But we've heard from multiple people even now, 4 months later, that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding.
Caitlin was an absolute god-send dealing with an anxious bride during Covid, and guiding me during the postponement process. When we knew our wedding was actually going to happen, we were in wonderful hands with Andrea. Andrea was so helpful in working with us in picking our menu and making it a wedding that felt like us. When problems arose with our transportation, I didn't find out until the next day because she was that good.
Finally, we found out we were pregnant two weeks before the wedding, and the only person we told was Andrea. She was such a pro. She made sure that I had water at all times and that my champagne glass looked just like everyone else's. We can't thank her enough for how well she handled our secret. It let our wedding be our wedding.
Thank you to such an amazing team, I don't have enough words to express what a wonderful event we had. I would make the same decision 100 times over.

I don't have enough room to talk about how amazing Caitlin, Marleny, the whole AK team, and Tappan Hill Mansion is - but, I'll give it a shot. My husband and I got married at Tappa...
n Hill in Oct 2021, rescheduled from Oct 2020. From the very first day we toured the venue, to working with us through COVID to reschedule, to the couple months leading up to and the day of our wedding, Caitlin was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is prompt, responsive, helpful, thoughtful, SO GOOD AT HER JOB, and just amazing, period. Marleny was my bridal attendant the day of the wedding and just took care of not just me and my husband, but our families too. She was always there anticipating our next move and I genuinely don't know how she managed to be in so many places at once. I got so many compliments on not only the food (duh), but even the service that the waiters provided! I can't remember ever going to a wedding and complimenting the waiter and multiple people came up to me and told me how amazing theirs was.
Long story short, don't hesitate to hire AK (lucky you if you get Caitlin :)) - they were so understanding during COVID, and they ultimately made our day just perfect through and through. I'm so thankful we chose them to work with!

I don't even know where to begin in describing the experience my husband and I had at Tappan Hill. Not only is this venue absolutely stunning, but the professionalism of the staff...
from start to finish was on another level. We knew we were in the best hands from day one when working with Melissa in sales. She is absolutely fantastic, so responsive, accommodating, and kind. We loved working with her as we started the wedding planning process and she made everything so easy for us. We then worked with Paul as our events manager and cannot sing his praises loudly enough! Paul was WONDERFUL! He responded immediately to our nonstop emails and questions, accommodated our every ask and then some, and did it all with a huge smile and wonderful attitude. The last month before our wedding was pretty stressful! And Paul made it FUN! He was so trust-worthy and helped us (me) calm down a bit. And this doesn't even cover the wedding day. Paul truly came through with flying colors. Every tiny detail and step in the day was handled flawlessly. We didn't even have to bat an eye or ask a thing - Paul was 10 steps ahead of us and took care of EVERYTHING! You name it, Paul already had it covered. From being there to pull our chairs out any time we sat down to cleaning up the bridal suite, organizing all of our personal items, bringing us dinner and drinks, to adjusting the temperature of the room, it was the most seamlessly executed evening - and so many people noticed and commented. Thank you Paul! Next: the food. Abigail Kirsch catering did not disappoint. We had a huge amount of guests tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We did station-style vegetarian food, and no one even missed meat - this food was THAT good! They also breezed through accommodating our other dietary restrictions and were beyond helpful. Finally, we invited close to 280 guests to our wedding and ended up with around 215 and never once did we worry about the space feeling too tight. The layout was configured perfectly and Paul knew exactly how to place the larger tables vs smaller tables to keep the flow of the room at its best. Choosing this venue was the best wedding planning decision we could have made and I wish we could do it all over again.

Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill Mansion deserves a 12 out of 10. We had our wedding there on October 27, 2019 and the entire experience was outstanding. From the start when we toured...
the venue with Caitlin Lennox, we were entranced by the beauty of the venue and staff’s hospitality. We were blown away with the tour experience. After we booked, it only got better from there. The staff was responsive to all our questions regardless of how often we emailed. Our tasting was an incredible date night for my husband and I. It was so much fun and built our confidence in the food, staff, and overall experience at Tappan Hill. Approximately five weeks prior to our event, Paul Richards was assigned to our event as our wedding coordinator and there are not enough words to express how much we enjoyed working with him. He was kind, reassuring, dedicated, and meticulous in his planning. Plus, his energy is contagious! Paul made it easy to put our wedding in his hands. We were able to enjoy the day and truly have a wonderful stress free experience. We absolutely loved Tappan Hill! The food was delicious! We got so many compliments from guests about the food! We ate well and celebrated all day long! There is no comparison. If you have your wedding anywhere else you are a fool.

Let me assure you .. Tappan Hill Mansion is THE place to have your wedding. The staff, the venue, the location, the food .. everything about this place is spot-on perfect. From my...
first interaction with Caitlin (the NICEST sales manager) to the night-of details with Paul (the MOST organized wedding coordinator), they had our best interest at heart and made our day special beyond words. Our guests continue to compliment us on “the best wedding ever” and so much of that is because of Tappan Hill. They are a well seasoned venue that knows how to do weddings right! I could literally talk about this place for hours on end, but I’ll keep it short .. look no further and book your wedding here! You will not be disappointed.
