After our beautiful wedding, I just kept saying "I want to do it again! I want to have another wedding!" And if we could, I wouldn't change a thing! Diamond Mills, Brianne, and Bethany were a dream to work with. From our first meeting, my husba...
nd and I were confident this would be our venue. They have a beautiful ceremony and reception space, attached tavern and restaurant, and hotel rooms -- really convenient for our guests who were traveling. Their rates and options are clear cut and reasonable - they had a wonderful book with everything outlined clearly and they either stuck to that information or gave us improved options! Brianne was a pleasure to work with initially; after touring the venue and speaking with her once we booked it! From then on, Bethany was our contact person and day-of coordinator and was truly a dream to work with. She's bubbly and friendly, but more importantly, knows what she's doing and is extremely competent and professional. When my husband and I had any ideas we got an immediate "Yes, sure, we can do that!" Everything was just easy! On the actual wedding day, everything ran smoothly. Brianne and Bethany and the rest of the Diamond Mills team coordinated with our vendors, taking care of everything behind the scenes. I am a micro-manager by nature, but this day I felt completely comfortable surrendering all control to the wonderful group of professionals at Diamond Mills. Food was wonderful, drinks were flowing, and we had the best day! We really give Brianne, Bethany, and Diamond Mills credit for that!

We would absolutely recommend a wedding at Diamond Mills Hotel & Saugerties Steamboat Co. to celebrate such a special day!

Planning a wedding is hard enough to begin with but being a bride during the pandemic was something I thought would be extremely challenging. This was not the case thanks to Bethany and Brianne at Diamond Mills Hotel. They supported us as a cou...
ple from day 1 and worked with us every step of the way. We ended up having to push our wedding date and then cut down our guest list to have a more intimate ceremony because after all that planning we just wanted to be married. They helped to ease the difficulties by having conversations and providing us with a variety of creative options to make our wedding dreams come true. The wedding day was extremely smooth and everything I ever imagined. The attention to detail and making sure we had everything the way we wanted it was impeccable. While it wasn’t what we originally planned for our big day, I am so happy that we chose Diamond Mills because without the support, I don’t know how we would have done it. I look back on our wedding day and it still is the best day of my life during a very hard time. From the planning, to replanning, food choices, day of details, room set up, ceremony ideas, service,etc. I am so impressed with Diamond Mills and would highly recommend for any future bride and groom. We are thankful to have been married at Diamond Mills and will forever hold that day very close to our heart.

ible, responsive and just such a pleasure to work with. It was the wedding of my dreams. I live in NYC and wasn't sure if they would be able to live up to my expectations but it was even great than I could have imagined. The hotel was great for guests (nightly chocolates and flower in every room), the food at the wedding was incredible (guests are still talking about it) and even the rehearsal dinner and brunch gave us so many incredible options. The thing I am going to miss most about wedding planning is working with Bethany.

Diamond Mills was an incredibly perfect venue for our wedding! I cannot give them enough stars or recommend them enough! Our guests are still raving about it! Brianne gave us all the time we needed to tour the venue options and answer questions...
prior to booking. She even agreed to add chicken parmesan to our menu (the groom’s favorite!) Once we booked, Bethany took over to help us plan our event every step of the way. She may be the most valuable part of the Diamond Mills experience. Any time I was stressed about something, Bethany made sure it was okay. I really credit her with making our day everything it was. She literally watches over and carries out every single detail. Everyone in our entire bridal party was blown away by how efficient, fun, and on top of things Bethany was. She is AMAZING and makes sure everything is the way you imagined. She goes above and beyond anything you’d expect an event coordinator to do. Also, Bethany worked seamlessly with our vendors (we used their recommended vendors - Cynthia Starr Photography, Jade DJ Entertainment, and Cherry Brandy Design - highly recommend them all!) The day of our October wedding, it rained... but it did not spoil our day at all. If anything, everyone worked even harder to make up for the rain. We chose to rent a tent and heaters so that we could still have our ceremony outside. I’m so glad we did. Our pictures still capture the bridge and waterfall, exactly as we wanted, and our guests stayed dry and warm. Luckily it stopped raining later in the night so we were able to get an outdoor photo. Our guests were so impressed by the beauty of Diamond Mills. The breathtaking waterfall, grand staircase, and open spaces photograph beautifully and provide plenty of space for all of the guests. The bathrooms are huge and so nice (way better than anywhere else I’ve been)! You don’t want your guests spending the night waiting in the bathroom. Our fall details looked gorgeous is their neutrally decorated ballroom. I also loved that the bridal suite and boardroom are upstairs and away from guest traffic. The food was delicious! So many people ordered chicken parm, which the groom loved! Most wedding cakes are dry and tasteless, but our cake was sooo good. I really wanted to eat the top layer when we came home (I didn’t!). Multiple people have told us how much they enjoyed their dinner and actually ate the cake! Overall, in addition to us, our guests had an amazing time and keep telling us that we had the best wedding they’ve been to. We wouldn’t change a thing! We love looking at our pictures and reliving our day. And I miss working with Bethany! We wouldn’t change anything about the entire experience (except maybe the rain)! Thank you Brianne, Bethany, and the entire Diamond Mills team!

The team had experience with almost all of our vendors which made the planning and day of as seamless as possible. The wait staff was super attentive to us throughout the night making sure everything was just the way we wanted, that we were being fed, and provided with drinks. Upon exiting our ceremony Bethany was waiting for us with our signature cocktail (which was also amazing!). We can't say enough about this venue and the entire night kept looking at each other and saying how truly perfect it all was!

Where do I even begin! My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to get married at the Diamond Mills. From our very first meeting to the wedding weekend itself, everything was amazing. As people who love a good excel spreadsheet, we...
were immediately impressed when Brianne presented us price breakdowns of all our options. We were able to customise our package and got everything we wanted! Bethany is an angel, and made the planning process seamless. It was absolutely stress free, and we already miss working with her! From dealing with crazy relatives, to helping fix my dress bustle when it ripped mid-reception, she was a total professional, and incredibly sweet. Their preferred vendor list was equally amazing, and it was great to have a team that worked so well together. Our guests are still raving about our wedding night, how beautiful the venue was, and how much fun they had! We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary next year, and we love giving recommendations to friends getting married in the area! Our only criticism is for the Hotel and the Tavern, which have separate management from the wedding venue team. While the food is great, the service at the Tavern is incredibly slow. We had heard this before going and hoped for the best, but everyone was right. It took far too long for anyone to even approach our table, and we’re very patient people! The service at the hotel was not very accommodating when it came to our hotel block. My father in law booked his hotel rooms for Friday and Saturday night when we first set our date. Somehow they messed up the reservation and they booked him independently for Friday night and then for Saturday night. When he called the hotel the week before the wedding to make sure his reservation was set, they realized the mistake and were somehow unable to adjust it. He had to check out the morning of the wedding from his Friday night stay and then check back in again to stay Saturday night. This was the last thing he needed to be worrying about on the day of his son’s wedding, and they made no effort to resolve the issue. We were very disappointed in the lack of service and professionalism on such a special day, especially for a very important part of our wedding. But I want to end this on a high note. Despite the criticism for the Tavern and Hotel, we are so happy with how our wedding went, and will continue to sing the praises of Bethany, Brianne, and the whole events team - we’re always going to be your biggest fans!

were going to have the most incredible and special day. Brianne and Bethany took care of us from beginning to end. There easy to fill out homework packets helped us make sure we had everything we needed ahead of time. They planned the entire timeline for us, were there to meet months ahead, were there the days before when we had to drop off our stuff and were of course there the day of. They were so flexible with everything, they arranged our decorations for us and made everything look better than we ever could have imagined. It was also incredible because even though many others have been married their before they allowed us to put our own touches on things and made us feel so special that it felt as though our wedding was so unique. The staff all around was incredible from not just the event coordinators but also the waiters, bussers, bartenders and chefs. The food was absolutely incredible from the appetizers to the cheese spread to the outstanding entrees and of course the delicious cake. Our guests are still raving about the food, drinks, the staff and of course how beautiful the location was. The amazing balcony overlooking the waterfalls is just the most perfect place for cocktail hour and pictures. The ballroom was so incredibly beautiful. I also have to mention how great it was for our bridal party to have the bridal suite. We also did an after party at the Tavern which was awesome because we had our guests just walk right next door and keep the party going. Then not to mention the hotel being situated right there which allowed our guests the comfort of walking right upstairs when they were done. We absolutely loved every second of it from working with Brianne and Bethany almost a year ahead of time, to the dinner tasting which was incredible, to the planning, and then the whole day of. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place. If you want to have your wedding at a location that your guests will love, that you can turn into your own unique day, that will put your mind at ease and give you the most incredible day, you have to choose Diamond Mills!

I strongly believe that the day of my wedding was so stress-free because of these two! I really had nothing to worry about during the months leading up to the wedding and the day of! The waitstaff was also amazing. Our guests cannot stop talking the service they received during our wedding. They all rave about how nice the waiters were and how delicious their meals were. One aspect that stood out to our guests the most was how friendly and quick the bartenders were. With a guest total of 135 fond drinkers, there was never any lines at the bar. Our guests also still talk about how our red velvet wedding cake was one of the best cakes they have ever tasted! Everything left to Diamond Mills to handle was simply done incredibly on their part.

y. We loved the outdoor ceremony space on the back terrace that flowed into an inside/outside cocktail hour and finished with a beautiful reception in the ballroom. We also wanted a venue where we would be the only wedding in that specific part of the site so we wouldn’t have to share bathrooms, hallways, etc. The space was truly ours. In addition to its perfect Hudson Valley location, we were drawn to Diamond Mill’s package & food offerings as we knew that a big cocktail hour was important to us. We settled on the Diamond Package which gave us the best offerings of high-quality food, in-person action stations, personalized signature cocktails, top shelf spirits, and excellent customer service – our guests were blown away and raved about how great it was! The reception dinner choices, cake, and Viennese table were out of this world. The bacon wrapped filet with crab meat was the best meal of my life – and yes, as the bride, I ate dinner! We also appreciated the following aspects of this location: convenient and abundant parking for guests and shuttle buses, the upstairs bridal suite which served as a pre-wedding wedding party room and a quiet escape for my husband and I during the actual event, beautiful indoor ceremony location options (if needed), and the beautiful bathrooms! It may be silly, but we’ve been to too many events where guests are sharing toiletries and waiting in line for bathrooms with guests of other events. I could even fit in the stalls with my dress! We can’t thank Bethany, Brianne, and their team enough!

Our wedding was on March 2, 2019. We had a perfect dusting of snow to beautifully complement our winter wedding. From start to finish, the planning and day-of coordination were expertly managed by Bethany and Brianne. Any questions we had were ...
answered with a warm, yet professional, quick reply. Any issues that arose were handled promptly, and we were completely satisfied with the assistance we received. They are wonderful, dedicated people, and were a true pleasure to work with. Other things I appreciated about our experience with Diamond Mills, and why I would recommend it: The venue is so adaptable to the size of your wedding. Whether you want a cozy, intimate reception or a big, loud one, they have the space or they can scale it down. The food is exceptional. From the simplest menu selections to the most elaborate, their offerings are unique, delicious, and presented beautifully (I’m still dreaming about the short rib). The hotel is beautiful, comfortable, and so convenient. The bathroom floors are heated! Our guests loved staying there. The Tavern was also a perfect location for our rehearsal dinner, and again the menu was so customizable. The selections all sounded so great, it was hard to narrow it down. As I now know from experience: your wedding WILL fly by. Nothing can prepare you for how quickly the weekend/the day goes, so remember that nothing is more valuable than your time. Spend as much of it as you can enjoying your wedding. Diamond Mills was so convenient for us and our guests. And lastly, the waterfall is undeniably magical.

e- none of them made us feel unique or special (and let's be honest, when it comes to your wedding you want it to be exactly that) until we met with Brianne. She made us feel so comfortable, patiently gave us a tour while we asked lots of questions and took lots of pictures, and showed us how many things could be customized to suit our wishes. She was quick to respond to follow up emails and sent us an enthusiastic congratulations when we booked our date. We knew that this was the perfect place for us. Leading up to the wedding, working with Bethany was dream. She is incredibly organized, attentive to detail, and professional. Bethany was in constant communication with us. She never seemed overwhelmed or bothered by our questions and requests and always got back to us with a quick reply. We presented several challenges as we booked both the Tavern and the Steamboat Company for our special day, only to complicate it by having it in the middle of winter. The team was on it! They made sure fireplaces were lit, heat was turned up, and coats were checked. They worked hard to set up our decor- we didn't need much, the venues are already gorgeous on their own- and make sure everything was perfect. There was not a single moment where I felt stressed or worried about everything getting set up how we wanted it. During the reception, Bethany did a great job at keeping everything on schedule. Dinner was amazing, the cake came out perfect, and we really got to enjoy our wedding the way it should be- not focused on the timeline and making sure our guests were being attended to. We could trust that that was all being done for us. Bethany is one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of working with. I could not recommend Diamond Mills enough. Even our guests are still, a month later, talking about the fabulous venue and how great our wedding was! I truly believe that I would not have had even close to an experience as amazing as this if we had chosen any other venue.

We loved coming back to Diamond Mills meet with Bethany and Brianne, they made wedding planning so easy and believe it or not - FUN! There is something to be said if the groom isn't even complaining about going to the venue for meetings. We are OBSESSED with the food at the Tavern. We lived for the wedding tastings. Brianne and Bethany was super sweet on the fact that we kept coming back to Diamond Mills to indulge ourselves with tastings. Everthing tasted amazing. Our wedding night was phenomenal!! We got married at the Tavern followed by a reception in the dining room. The staff was top notch!! All my guests were well taken care of with exceptional service. I'm still receiving compliments on how amazing the food was at our wedding. Wedding planning can be a very stressful time but we totally lucked out working with awesome people like Brianne and Bethany and the rest of the Diamond Mills staff who gave us such an incredible experience filled with nothing but awesome memories throughout our planning process. We were so impressed by the team early on that I recommended the venue to my sister who was already engaged and also was having trouble locating a venue. my sister decided to also get married at Diamond Mills in the ballroom the same year!

They worked with us to make sure we stayed within budget and still had tons of options for food, drink, setup and times. Our ceremony was inside upstairs since it was a tad too windy, but the foliage was absolutely stunning the first weekend of November for pictures. It was a little chilly outside, but they had a fire going on the inside fireplace that kept it cozy and everyone flocked to. The cocktail hour was downstairs, and the reception was upstairs again. The room and layout were rearranged so quickly, and the wait staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a buffet style dinner and it worked out perfectly, the food was amazingggg! Later on, we had a fire outside where guests could cuddle up with blankets and had s’mores. Our timeline all day and night was spot on as Brianne coordinated with our DJ to keep everything on track. Overall best day of our lives and we are so happy that we chose SSCo. as our venue!

We felt we were in goods with the food for our wedding..and we were! Our guests enjoyed all the food at our wedding, from our cocktail hour options to dinner to dessert.

It was hard to find a venue that fit our event size, aesthetic (inside and outside), and budget. Everyone asked us why we were hosting our wedding in Saugerties and not in NYC. Those questions stopped when folks arrived in Saugerties and saw the beauty of the town and the venue. Gorgeous views. Lovely rooms. Awesome food both in town and at the DM Tavern. We had our ceremony on the balcony above the Esopus River. It could not have been more beautiful. Many people said that they will return to Saugerties and to Diamond Mills. We certainly will. We HIGHLY recommend Diamond Mills!

There is so much natural beauty at Diamond Mills which made it a big selling point, and it did not disappoint at our reception. The patio overlooks the waterfalls and it made a lovely location for the cocktail hour and for people to step outside throughout the reception, and the waterfalls made an absolutely breathtaking background for our photos. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

Our trust in her allowed me to sit back and focus on the things I needed to and let her handle all the other stuff. She was invaluable and made our wedding planning and day FUN. In addition Laurie was wonderful to work with to book the space and all the initial planning. The Diamond Mills staff was wonderful the day/night of as well - many guests commented about how there was always someone there asking if they needed anything.

off our wedding. My husband and I live in OK, but are from NY. We wanted nothing more than to come home for our wedding, but we knew the planning process would not be easy when doing everything long distance. Bethany helped to make everything as easy as she possibly could. From phone calls to emails to snail mail, she was always on top of it. My husband is from Saugerties so anytime we could make it home over the year leading up to the wedding we made sure to stop by and check up on things. Bethany was there with open arms every single time. On the weekend of the wedding she helped unload the cars upon cars full of decor, and literally read my mind on how I wanted everything set up. When I saw the reception and ceremony space all done up I was in awe. I have been to quite a few weddings and even worked in a wedding venue at one point, and I have never seen anything like what I saw on our wedding day. The staff were all there and working full force despite the blizzard outside. Diamond Mills is a beautiful venue with a unique location overlooking the Esopus River. My very large family is from Long Island, so they were fortunate enough to make a weekend getaway out of it, and the staff were so helpful. The morning of our wedding was a complete snow storm. We literally had a white wedding. The parking lot and roads were cleared, the fireplace was toasty warm, and our guests felt welcomed from the moment they arrived to the moment they checked out. The food was delicious,. Definitely not your typical wedding food. We had an abundance of options at cocktail hour, a wide variety of dinner choices, and on top of the cake, we had a Viennese table with any dessert you could think of. The morning after the wedding we had a beautiful brunch arranged in the tavern for our guests who traveled, and Santa even made a guest appearance at both the wedding and brunch. We definitely got what we wanted for Christmas this year!

So I did not book the Diamond Mills - this review is on my initial tour and meeting with the Sales Manager Laurie. We met with Laurie on a Saturday morning. Prior to the tour, I essentially had my mind set on this venue - it would've been the ...
perfect location, the venue is very pretty, and I thought the gold package was a good value (That's why I've given this review 1 star - because of the venue and value. If I were to base my "stars" on the service I received and my experience with the Sales Manager I would give a 0). I was prepared to request a proposal and give a deposit that day. Laurie was the least friendly sales person I ever met. She merely showed us around. When we inquired about adding a soup course - obviously an extra cost which we were ok with - she told us that would take extra time because the staff would have to clean it up. She basically was trying to sell us out of it and acted as if it would be an inconvenience. During the entire meeting she acted as if we were an inconvenience and like she didn't care if we booked or not. If this was the experience we were getting before we signed a contract/paid them money, what was it going to be like after? If she didn't care about us now, why would she care once we booked? As I stated I was pretty much set on this location up until this meeting. I was very disappointed with the experience and since then decided to look elsewhere for venues. Our wedding day is supposed to be a special day for my fiancé and me and the initial impression received at this venue was very off-putting. The Sales Manager sold us out of booking with them. I'm have read some other negative reviews about the management here which has cemented my concerns for me.

She responded to all of my emails and initial inquiries and sent me a list of rooms that the hotel could block off for our wedding. Unfortunately, we weren’t having our wedding at Diamond Mills so they couldn’t give us a discounted rate but that was understandable. As our wedding day approached, the staff at the Diamond Mills made sure that we were prepared by giving us a guest rooming list and other information such as their welcome bag policy. My guests loved staying there and made sure to mention what a great hotel it was. After our wedding, the hotel immediately sent us our deposit back with no issues.

ith Laurie and Bethany. Bethany was hired only a couple months prior to the big day and we were apprehensive to have such a big change so close to the day. Bethany turned out to be one of the best parts of having out event at Diamond Mills. She was attentive to every detail, including at one point holding the 3 year old ring bearer while his mother prepared to sing for the ceremony. Bethany greeted every question with a smile and ensured that our requests were not just met but exceeded. When considering this venue make sure you get a chance to meet with Bethany. She is a major plus. Laurie over sees the big picture and is very organized. She is approachable and made us feel welcome at the tasting and during all the meetings preceding our event. She is an excellent person to do business with. Morning of the event the venue was opened to us at 10am. This gave us plenty of time to get settled and prepare for the day ahead. We brought all of our decorations to the venue and dropped them off to Bethany. Bethany quickly came up with great ideas on how to assemble our table markers and the decorations we provided. My wife and her bridal party were treated to a beautiful bridal sweet. My groomsmen and myself were also given a room down the hall which doubles as a conference room. This gave us ample spaced to get ready and have a few drinks to settle in. Gourmet cheese and cracker platters were provided with champagne. Staff was very attentive as soon as we walked in the door, offering to get us drinks, food and basically anything we could need. The ceremony was conducted on the terrace of the venue overlooking the waterfall. We couldn’t have asked for more of a breath taking view which gave us amazing pictures. The cocktail hour started immediately following the ceremony. Food was ready right on time and wait staff were on point. The reception following the cocktail hour was excellent, dinner service could not have been better and each table had their own waiter/waitress. The food was A+ from the vegetable and cheese table to the entrees there isn’t a single criticism to be heard about the food. The food was so good that my wife and I have made the Tavern a go to spot for dinner on a consistent basis. After the reception ended the party moved to The Tavern, my wife and I opted to have an after party. The after party was the selling point for myself when we first looked for a venue. For a minimal charge we were able to enjoy an extra two hours with our guests while enjoying a few drinks and some food to pick at. The bartenders went above and beyond for our guests. Hotel was a little pricey for our guests so most stayed down the road. We were given a room at a discount and it was really beautiful. The hotel staff made sure we had a chilled bottle of champagne and desserts from the wedding waiting for us. The hotel is on site and a 100 yard walk from the tavern which is a very convenient amenity. Diamond Mills is amazing. It is affordable, while providing above and beyond service. Bethany is friendly, upbeat and will work make your day what you’ve always dreamed of. HAVE YOUR WEDDING HERE!

ved our guests during the cocktail hour and reception were above par! They were outstanding! We have gotten so many compliments about the beautiful venue and the amazing food! My only complaints are having to pay for our food tasting. As out of state clients, we had to make a special trip up to NY for a food tasting and were charged for something that is usually a complimentary service, especially since we had already booked the venue and paid a deposit. I understand that they provide an event once a month for a tasting, but my husband and I never could take time off of work to travel to that event. I also had a hiccup with the bridal suite being available earlier in the morning to us in order to have our hair and makeup done for a First Look. You have the bridal suite 12 hours prior to the end of your event so we had the suite starting at 11:30am, but we needed it at 8:30am in order to have our hair and makeup done and ready for pictures. Diamond Mills did accommodate me by giving us the suite at 9:30am, but we needed to have all of our belongings out of the suites before the reception started so my bridal party had to cart all of our stuff out of the bridal suite before the ceremony started and put things in our cars. Later, we went back upstairs and the suites were still not cleaned and un-used so we could have kept our things in the suites after-all. The bridal suites should be available to the wedding party the entire day of the wedding! You are paying to use the venue and girls need to get ready very early in order to be ready for pictures and it is nice to have the suite during the reception to keep our things there so we are not worry about it before the ceremony begins. Apart from those 2 minor things, Diamond Mills was wonderful! I am so happy that we had our wedding at this venue and we do it all over again if we could! I worked mainly with Bethany the last few months before the wedding day and she was an absolute dream to work with! She was so friendly, responsive, accommodating and just a sweet-heart!

ick building, the giant staircase, the beautiful rooms - it was all just amazing. Laurie had been extremely helpful throughout the entire year and a half and her calm energy especially helped us (me) when we got closer to the wedding. From the food tasting to all of the random times my husband and family wanted to stop in to take a look, Laurie was gracious and helpful. She responded very quickly to emails and it was all just an easy process with her. Our ceremony overlooked the waterfall and we had Laurie and Bethany working so well with the DJ (Donnie with Your Event Matters who is amazing) to have us enter the ceremony at the perfect moment. My father and I came out to a specific moment in a certain song and Bethany had us walk out at that exact moment - making the entrance perfect. Since I may be a little crazy, I created a layout of how I wanted everything to look (favors, guest "book", pictures, etc.) and Laurie and Bethany set it up perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious (especially the short rib) and the cake (which I heard could be dry) was moist and amazing! We got the red velvet. While the price of the actual venue and wedding itself was very reasonable, I will say the price of the hotel was pretty high. We had booked half of the hotel with our guests so we felt a little bad having them pay such a large amount for one night, but we didn't hear any complaints from the guests. Apparently they loved the heated floors in the bathroom - which I wish I tried! However, Gina (at the hotel) was great to work with. Overall, I am SO happy we had our wedding at Diamond Mills. It isn't your typical venue and that's what I love about it. I really wanted a venue that was fairly new and something our guests have not seen before - and Diamond Mills was just that. It was exactly what I pictured and had in mind when we got engaged and to have our wedding there was a beautiful dream. It felt so surreal the entire night because it all turned out to be perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Diamond Mills!

Open bar is included in each of their packages with many different options for upgrades. The cake is also included and there are an endless number of ways to make it your own (for example, we had alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate with fresh strawberries in between) and all of the guests loved it!

My husband and I and our guests could not get over how delicious and plentiful the food was. There was fresh fruit and danish sent to my room while I was getting ready, there were platters waiting in the bridal suite during cocktail hour prior to our entrance filled with all the food served during cocktail hour, and an unbelievable dinner served family style followed by the presentation of our beautiful wedding cake and a very large vienesse display. People were raving about the food, how every dish they tried was great! I am a pastry chef, my husband a chef, my executive chef was in attendance as well as his sous chef (my good friend) and everyone was raving about the food. The service was spot on, no one had empty glasses or dirty plates piling up. Nothing but compliments from all the guest on how wonderful the service was. Even the owner was there chatting with guests and giving my parents a hand at the end of the night gathering everything up. Our wedding was awesome and we absolutely loved every minute of it! A huge thank you to Diamond Mills and their team for helping us create a day we will always remember!

My husband and I were lucky to find the Diamond Mills while attending a close friend's wedding prior to us even being engaged. We left the wedding with the feeling that DM would be the perfect place for us to tie the knot. We were in touch with...
Laurie immediately after the proposal and we quickly snatched up NYE as our date. We chose to have our ceremony in the foyer area which is not typically where weddings are held - the staff was eager and excited to take a risk and help us have our wedding on the staircase. The reception turned out to be incredible and all of the vendors that DM recommended truly over delivered. The food is amazing and our guests were blown away by the view and incredibly hard working staff. We also had our rehearsal dinner in the Tavern and filled the hotel so you could say we kind of took over the DM for a few days which made the whole experience that much more fun! We are looking forward to visiting the DM again in the near future.

It has taken us some time to write this review. We went back and forth on what to say in order to properly forewarn couples. First, we want to say how beautiful the DM property is. However, there were many issues on our special day. This is ...
what we encountered: 1. When we first met with Diamond Mills Laurie was our contact person. We worked with her for approximately eight to nine months prior to our wedding. However, a week before our wedding, we went for our final walk through at which time we were told an entirely different woman, Josephine, would be handling our wedding and Laurie would be on vacation. Why this information was only provided a week before the wedding is beyond me. Nevertheless, Josephine was a nightmare. 2. We told Laurie from the start of our planning that we wanted to have our ceremony outside on their large deck/patio area with the falls as a backdrop. I told her we did not want a tent if it rained as we would move the ceremony inside if need be. The Wednesday before our wedding (wedding was on Saturday) the same day she was to leave for vacation we were told that the tent would be up on the day of our wedding and that there was no way for them to take it down. After making a formal written request they finally agreed to take it down the morning of our wedding. Then Laurie left. 3. The day after, we were scheduled to have our wedding rehearsal at DM. After receiving the confirming email about the tent Josephine proceeded to give us an ultimatum saying that if we chose to have my ceremony outside and it rained the day of they would not move the chairs inside and either there would be no ceremony or our guests, the chairs and we would be soaked. She told me we had to decide by Friday at 2p.m. where the ceremony would be (24 hours + before the ceremony – which is not customary). After being forced to make a decision we deiced to move our ceremony inside just incase. It did not end up raining. 4. Josephine situated the chairs for the ceremony in a position that was not conducive to the ceremony and refused to move them and threatened liability if we moved them ourselves. 5. When the groom arrived there was no food and refreshments for him or the groomsmen. If not for some beer in one of their cars they would not have had anything. The groom was then accosted by a waitress while getting changed & ready on his own for the ceremony, to pay for a round of drinks that another guest had ordered. Fortunately he had the cash ($50 for 5x shots). 6. Once the ceremony began, the temperature in the room was very high, to the point that the groom (and reverend) were sweating profusely. A request was made to turn down the temperature which was refused. To add to the uncomfortable atmosphere we had to contend with loud noise from the nearby kitchen, which could be clearly heard by the wedding party and guests. This carried on throughout the process of the vows and being addressed by the reverend. 7. There were issues with the booking of our rooms at DM. We were instructed that if we could fill out a block of 10x rooms before a set date, we would get the bridal suite for free. However, we couldn’t fill out our block before the set deadline and were therefore paid full price for our room ($600+). By this time we had 9 rooms booked out for the event and were eventually allowed the bridal suite at half price ($300+).

We were married at Diamond Mills on Saturday August 9, 2014. Our ceremony and reception were both there. This place is fantastic! Laurie (event coordinator) was easy, professional and great to work with. She gave us everything we asked for....
The staff working the wedding reception were wonderful and very attentive. All the food (from the wedding party suite, cocktail hour, dinner and cake) was perfect. We had pass around hors d'oeuvres, open bar, salad, dinner, mini pastries and our cake (part of the wedding package), a Champaign toast to start the evening and wine poured at the table throughout the dinner service. Everything was delicious. All of our guests were first time visitors to Diamond Mills and all were highly impressed. We stayed 5 nights at the hotel and were treated great by the staff. The room overlooking the falls were spacious, clean and we were given turn down service (and chocolate) each evening. Congratulations to everyone at the hotel for a job well done! We highly recommend Diamond Mills to anyone planning an event.

Outside, in the bar, on the stairs - great choices! Have fun! Highly recommend this venue for your special day.

We booked Diamond Mills for our daughter's wedding (June 2014) about 18 months in advance, and since everyone was traveling from NY or Boston, we reserved the entire hotel as well. Laurie H leads the event staff and was extremely helpful, answe...
ring many questions, and she was always very patient with our many questions and requests. I loved that she always tried to get to 'yes'. She was very easy to work with, and as the time drew near, her experience and professionalism was very reassuring. She was on top of all the details including reviewing the rental chairs we wanted as they were being delivered. The service staff was excellent. The setting was amazing, with the ceremony on the patio overlooking Esopus Falls, and the guests came back out through the evening to enjoy the sunset, smoke cigars and enjoy the summer night and floodlit waterfalls. On the day of, Laurie was very calm and in charge and we didn't worry about anything, and they took great care of the bridal party. The food was outstanding! All our hotel guests were thrilled with the venue as well: great bedding, clean and pretty rooms, patios overlooking the falls, and very friendly and helpful hotel staff. There are many wonderful opportunities for wedding photos here including the Tavern bar where the bride and groom hosted drinks after the wedding. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue/vendor and highly recommend Diamond Mills!

Overall, we are very pleased with our wedding at Diamond Mills. We received many compliments about the beautiful venue and the town of Saugerties. We had about 70 guests, so it was on the smaller size. The ceremony was on grounds, we reserved...
10 rooms at the hotel and also chose to keep the tavern open following the reception so our entire wedding was with DM. We worked with Laurie H. throughout the year for our wedding planning. Laurie was always very kind, helpful and communicative when we had questions/concerns. We were able to go to DM several times to get a better feel for our special day and plan decorations and set up, Laurie coordinated all of this. About 2 months before our wedding we were contacted by Josephine, saying she would now be taking over our wedding and would be reaching out again as we got closer to the wedding. We did not hear from her again. This was confusing and concerning as final details were still not discussed. Thankfully, Laurie continued to coordinate. Josephine was present the day of the wedding, however, Laurie ended up being our main go to person and we were very pleased and thankful for this as Josephine does not seem to have great people skills. Several of our guests asked who she was and noted she scowled most of the night and/or was rude to them. Gina, the hotel manager was of similar kind. There was a mix up early on with regard to hotel reservations and although it was corrected, Gina was unpleasant, rude and talked down to my parents several times even though it was the hotel staff’s mistake which needed to be corrected. There was a sense that because were were not reserving the entire hotel that we were not good enough to be treated with the same respect. Additionally, the Gold Package is supposed to include special hotel rates, however, apparently this only applies if you book the entire hotel. I wish there was another hotel around that we could recommend instead, however, this was the most convenient and in the end they allowed us to check in early which was a plus. You also can’t beat the view and the rooms are definitely top notch. The ceremony was perfect. Again, Laurie was there to walk us through each step as we went through it as we did not have a rehearsal prior to the big day. This was a bit nerve-racking for me, but Laurie was calm, organized and this was greatly appreciated. The Gold Package provided just the right amount of food (we are Italian) and we were very pleased. The cake was beautiful (the chef took the lead on the design and matched our colors perfectly!) however we had a difficult time deciding on the flavor as we did not really like any of the choices we sampled at the tasting. The assorted pastries, we heard were delicious, however, they were only left out for about 30 minutes and taken away before many people were able to sample. DM allows you to have a signature drink and this allowed for no back up at the bar, which we had seen at many other weddings. Table wine service was superb, I don’t think anyone’s glass was ever empty, whether it was water or wine, the waitstaff was EXCELLENT. Keeping the bar open at the tavern was a bit disappointing financially. In hindsight we could have continued the party up at The Pig instead and saved about $300, tax and gratuity were tacked. Again, overall, we were very pleased with our wedding and would recommend DM because of the beautiful location and the elegance the venue provides.

We had a summer wedding at Diamond Mills, my husband and I chose this place because it is absolutely gorgeous!!! The pricing was better than other venues in the Hudson Valley. Our ceremony was out on the terrace and the ball room was beautiful....
I did put a lower rating on the service, I felt as though this was lacking. The bar ran out of beer by 8pm and instead of getting more just told our guests they didn't have anymore, I was not made aware of this issue until after the wedding was over, but I feel as though if was made aware I, as the bride should not be left to deal with the issue. I felt as though the waitstaff went above and beyond for our guests, although we were supposed to have a personal waiter and they did not seem to be around asking if we wanted drinks or anything. Management here needs to step up their game. The first unfortunate event happened when guests were trying to sign the guest book and the pens I had bought we're not working. The management staff told the guest after she asked for new pens "that's the pens they brought, so what do you expect me to do about it?" I was mortified to find that this is how one of my guests was spoken to I feel as though it should have not even been an issue to get some pens for the guest to sign the book. As I was saying goodbye to my guests the lights were on and we we were rushed out, they we're actually vacuuming around me as I was trying to clean up. I do understand that they had a wedding the next day, but I feel as though they should have waited to clean until we had all of our things out, and my husband and I did have everything out of the ballroom by 10:30pm. I was left at the end of the night in my wedding dress cleaning up after my wedding. As was promised in the contract we would get our centerpieces and anything we brought, out of the venue, instead of the staff helping they were busy telling my guests where to take things and letting them know what was left to move. I feel as though their staff should be there to help move things out of the ballroom so they can clean. I was also told by a guest that one of the management staff said "I hate confetti" unfortunately, it is a wedding there will be instances where there is confetti. The next morning we went to brunch and were treated very rudely by one of the managers in the tavern. We had a large party and told the manager that we would split up. The manager told us only parties of 4 were allowed, and we asked if there was any way a party of 5 would be ok? The manager then replied "you can do that but it will be pushing the envelope". One of the party members replied "ok we will push the envelope". The manager then replied "fine, but if you have a party of 5 your service will suck!" I actually could not believe the words came out of his mouth! We ate breakfast and the waitstaff again were amazing and our service was just fine. After the fact I guess the same manager was rude to other guests as well, but I am unclear on those details. So over all diamond mills is a beautiful venue, the food was amazing, the waitstaff was amazing, but I feel as though there are many improvements that can be made with customer service on the management end. I feel as though we dealt with a lot of different people throughout our wedding process and the staff has a very high turnover. Overall our wedding was wonderful, but I feel it was due to a lot of work by myself, my husband and friends.

ything was still so beautiful it blew our friends and family away. Laurie was so very accommodating she helped is in any way she could and any time I had a question I could email her and get a response right away. According to our guests, during the cocktail hour there was always multiple trays of food available and no one went without. During dinner we had many people coming up to us and telling us how wonderful they thought the food was, how beautiful everything was, and what a good time they were having. It was such a perfect evening and I wish we could live it again.

r, to be easy to work with and accommodating to our wishes. On the day of, she was very helpful in making sure everything went smoothly and as planned. Our guests had nothing but great reviews of the food, service, and overall quality presented by Diamond Mills, with several people saying it was the best wedding they have attended. Our only critiques are as follows: There is no wiggle room in terms of extending the reception by any amount of time. The times in your contract are all that is allowed. Also, the DM Tavern bar closed at 11:30pm for our after party. So, regardless of how many guests were there, closing time is closing time and that's that. The hotel manager is very Type A and you have to play by the rules or she can become difficult to deal with. We found the catering manager to be very Type A, as well. We heard a few comments from guests that the staff, including leadership staff, were a bit brash; however, we felt that their job was to ensure that our day went perfectly (and it did). Lastly, there was no discount offered on any rooms to wedding guests, nor for the bride and groom. As bride and groom, were we well taken care of? Yes. Did we feel special in any way? Aside from a few extra chocolates on our plate for nightly turn-down, not really. It would have been nice after having spent a lot of money to receive, at the very least, a discounted room or an upgrade. Overall, we would say that having your wedding at Diamond Mills is money well spent and you can trust that they will make the day as valuable as possible for the bride and groom.

We just had our wedding at Diamond Mills. We can't say enough about this venue. The staff was top notch, Laurie, our event manager was the most amazing person to work with. Our theme for the wedding was a pink party for breast cancer. We asked ...
all of our guests to wear some little accent of pink. Some wore socks, ties, nail polish - you get the picture. Laurie herself participated by wearing a beautiful pink dress. That's how personal the attention you get is. She made the entire process stress free and made sure everything went a off without a hitch. We can't say enough about her. The hotel manager Gina is awesome. Not a problem or issue she can't solve. The entire hotel staff rocked. The rooms are beautiful, clean, so inviting. So easy to go from your room to your event just a few steps away. The food was out of this world, mouth watering. The entire staff, servers were unreal. So attentive to all of our guests. The banquet manager Lucie rocks. The Tavern manager and staff could not do enough for you. The after hour party was unbelievable at the tavern. They made sure everything flowed. We ordered subs for the after party for our guests, Laurie knocked it out of the park. The response was overwhelming from our family and friends. The brunch we arranged the next day for our guests was outstanding. The staff remembered most of our guests names. The Venue is beautiful. The falls outside, breathtaking. There's not enough words to describe the Diamond Mills. They made our wedding a huge success. Our only regret is that it's over.......If you're looking for a place for your wedding please please call Laurie and check out the Diamond Mills in Saugerties, NY....You'll be happy you did........

Well let me tell you, the wedding was more beautiful then I could have ever expected. Upon arrival, my bridesmaids and I were brought to the beautiful bridal suite and greeted with delicious hor d' oeuvres and champaign. The groom and groomsmen were also greeted with the same in another room. The staff was AMAZING. Cocktail hour hor d' oeuvres were passed around and offered to everyone, drinks were flowing and people raved about it! Then the main course was served and was not only hot but delicious! The cake was exactly like the picture I sent and also one if the best carrot cakes I've had! Again I can't explain how great the staff was. Plates were picked up promptly, drinks were filled continuously. They were wonderful! After the wedding we went to the tavern where we were welcomed with smiling faces and served quickly. From there we went to our room which was gorgeous and overlooking the beautiful creek. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud and there was a continental breakfast in the morning. It was overall a great experience and so relaxing, I trusted Laurie and the staff at the Diamond Mills to put on a beautiful wedding, and they were able to do that and exceed my expectations. My husband and I plan on celebrating our 1 year anniversary there!
