We loved having our wedding at Diamond Mills Hotel! The venue is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff is wonderful to work with. My husband and I also loved exploring Saugerties! Planning a we...
dding in two months was challenging, but booking Diamond Mills for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! We loved working with Stephanie, Carrie, and Brianne. They are highly organized and professional. Our wedding day was truly magical! Our guests had a wonderful time! We also really appreciate how the staff working on the day of our wedding ensured that my husband and I ate well (and remembered to eat as we interacted with our guests). The food served was delicious and we loved our wedding cake! Another great thing about booking the wedding at Diamond Mills is that the hotel is attached to the wedding venue - it was very convenient for us and our guests! We received a good discount for our hotel block. The wedding package they offer at Diamond Mills Hotel is truly well-rounded! Beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, catering, open bar, wedding cake, and supportive and amazing staff to help you plan your wedding and ensure that everything runs smoothly during the day of the wedding all for a reasonable price! I used some rental decorations, and the staff made sure to carefully pack everything at the end of the night, so shipping and packing up the following day was easy! We highly recommend Diamond Mills!
My daughter and son-in-law chose the Diamond Mills Boathouse for their wedding reception. The venue itself is charming and has the potential to be a beautiful wedding location. Com...
munication throughout the planning process was very difficult.
About six weeks before the wedding, my daughter and I met with Latoya, who was very kind and helpful, along with the person who was supposed to coordinate everything on the wedding day. During that meeting, we carefully reviewed how everything would look and run. We discussed the indoor cocktail hour as well as the outdoor ceremony, dinner, and dancing. After the meeting, we both felt confident and reassured.
My daughter was told she could contact the “day-of” coordinator with any questions and that paperwork would be sent to her to complete. Unfortunately, she had to request the paperwork multiple times. Whenever she reached out to the coordinator with questions, she never received a response and instead had to contact Latoya, who thankfully did respond.
Pros:
The Boathouse is a beautiful setting for a wedding. A wonderful house was provided for the bridal party on the wedding day, complete with four bedrooms, a kitchen, and plenty of space to get ready. It was conveniently located right next to the venue. Champagne and orange juice were also provided for the bridal party, which was a nice touch.
The woman who helped set up the reception tables and handled some of the décor on the wedding day was excellent. Unfortunately, she did not stay for the actual event. I also thought the wait staff did a very good job.
Cons:
I now question how often this venue has actually hosted weddings, because it did not seem fully prepared for one. The inside of the venue needed a thorough cleaning. There were cobwebs, dirty windows, and ashes left in the fireplace from prior use, despite knowing we planned to place candles there that day.
We had also been told that unnecessary items would be removed from the room, yet chairs remained stacked in corners. During setup, people from off the street were allowed into the reception area. One woman even changed a baby there and left behind a dirty diaper.
The ceremony arch was extremely flimsy and at times seemed like it might collapse. An air conditioner also leaked directly onto the table holding the guest book, gift box, and camera. The coordinator said she would shut off the AC, but instead only placed a small tray with cocktail napkins under the leak and did not clean the soaked table.
Although we already had someone directing the ceremony procession, the coordinator unexpectedly sent someone down the aisle at the wrong time, causing confusion. There was also an issue with the DJ that was not the venue’s fault, yet the coordinator told the DJ to “just play anything” for the introductions, which was not her decision to make.
Additionally, she had the groom and groomsmen walk out through the same doorway where the bride and bridesmaids were preparing to walk down the aisle, creating unnecessary chaos and ruining part of the moment.
Overall, the day-of coordinator was more of a source of stress than assistance. There was also a long wait between the first course and the main dinner service
While the location itself is beautiful, the lack of organization, communication, and professionalism made this a disappointing experience overall. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this venue.
We are incredibly grateful to Diamond Mills for making our wedding day so perfect. From start to finish, their team was exceptional in helping us stay organized and plan every deta...
il of our event. Their attention to detail and dedication ensured everything ran smoothly and beautifully.
The venue itself was stunning, providing a perfect backdrop for our celebration. We received countless compliments on how gorgeous everything looked and how delicious the food was. Their professionalism, warmth, and efficiency made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance with outstanding service, this is the perfect choice. Thank you for helping us create such a memorable day!
I can only say positive things about Brianne, Kelsey and the Diamond Mills team. Thank you for making our wedding a night to remember. Everything flowed so smoothly and the staff w...
ere very kind and professional. We were so relieved knowing the Diamond Mills was an all-inclusive venue and the food was delicious. It was a bonus that we were able to rent out the top rooms to host our Tea Ceremony prior to our ceremony/reception. For our ceremony and reception, we chose the ballroom, and our guests were shocked when they walked out onto the patio for our ceremony to see a waterfall. Thank you Diamond Mills for making our night run so smoothly and making my wedding vision come true!
We had our wedding in June at the Saugerties Steamboat Co. location and it was everything we could have wanted. Brienne and Klaudia were fantastic to work with and were with us eve...
ry step of the way, helping us to organize, plan and execute our wedding. The venue itself was was gorgeous and when some rain changed course right before our wedding, the Diamond Mills team was supremely efficient at getting everything and everyone moved inside for our ceremony (the team is seriously great at executing a rain plan). In addition, the culinary team at Blackbarn knocked our socks off, and were very accommodating with some of the requests we had to make for guests’ dietary restrictions. All-in-all, we’re so happy we got married here and will treasure those memories forever.
We had a bridal shower and a wedding at Diamond Mills Hotel, and it was a wonderful experience. They were attentive to every detail and accommodated us in every way possible, inclu...
ding helping with jitters. They are wonderful.
I truly cannot put into words just how amazing Diamond Mills is!! From start to finish Brianne & her entire team, along with the Blackbarn staff went above and beyond to make our w...
edding special. Brianne has a gift for what she does and no matter the question, she always had an answer or knew exactly where to go to find it. You have the flexibility of different options within the venue to pick from for your wedding and we went with Blackbarn for our reception, best decision! The space is so customizable and it allowed us to transform it into the wedding of our dreams. 100000% recommend!!!!
Brianne, Klaudia and the entire staff at Diamond Mills was fantastic! Brianne and Klaudia helped make our day the most memorable! We got married outside at Steamboat (thankful for ...
the sunny weather) and their attention to detail helped make our wedding unforgettable. From service to the setup, decor and food - it was all perfect!
Take us back!! We had such a memorable day for our wedding and Diamond Mills was a big reason why. We planned our entire wedding (200 people) in all of three months and Brianne wor...
ked so closely with us from start to finish to make sure the day was perfect. She was very responsive, consultative when we needed advice, and quick to action. We got married in the ballroom and it was a beautiful venue. The food was also excellent. It was way above what you would expect for a wedding and all of our guests had nothing but positive things to say. They loved it! We would highly recommend Diamond Mills to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!
Diamond Mills was absolutely stunning. The natural beauty of the waterfall from the Esopus River makes for a breathtaking back drop. The food is all made fresh to order for your gu...
ests. We really valued that they have a season menu so we weren't just choosing the typical wedding steak, fish, vegetarian options.
The Wedding team is very helpful for all your questions. They make the process easy with on site coordination. If you don't have the budget for a planner you will still feel supported by the venue team specifically Brianne because she is the best! She has many years of experience under her belt so is happy to give tips and options based on what she has dealt with. She also is just the sweetest and most flexible human. .
The getting ready space at the hotel is gorgeous and everyone is so helpful. Terry at the Hotel helped us with booking rooms and making sure our guests were comfortable. We also hosted the farewell brunch and the waiters were all professional and friendly! They helped us use our flowers from the wedding and put them on the tables for decor!
DREAM WEEKEND.
I wish we could go back and do it again! Bri and Kelsey were amazing. They were there for us every step of the way! We chose to get married on the terrace, overlooking the waterfal...
l. The food is probably the best wedding food I have ever had and you get so many options! From start to finish it was the most perfect day. I have no complaints or "do overs" (only to relive the day!) Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to and the amazing staff at Diamond Mills were a huge part of that.
The staff, especially Brianne and Kelsey, were absolutely fantastic to work with. From day one with each of them it was evident that they are pros in their field and know what need...
s to be done and how to do it. It was wonderful to work with them and watch the conversations we'd had discussing what we envisioned come to life before our eyes on our special day.
The day as a whole was perfect, I wouldn't change a thing, and a big part of that was Diamond Mills. It started with the wedding parties getting ready there before going to the location of the ceremony (off premises). It was a beautiful foggy morning and with the waterfall outside it felt and looked straight out of a fairytale. The getting ready pictures came out beautifully in both rooms upstairs and the first look photos with my family on the deck of the ballroom are some of my (bride) personal favorites from the day.
The food was amazing! The staff and space were exquisite and it all felt so lovely leading up to and the whole of the special day. Once the day began we didn't have to worry about anything, Brianne and Kelsey and their staff took care of everything. From the band getting set, the cake being delivered, to everything in between. If anything went wrong we weren't privy to it as everything seemed to go on without a hitch.
The unveiling of the reception area after cocktail hour was completed was such a magical touch. The windows and deck were crowd favorites. Our guests have commented time and time again since that day, that it was the most fun reception at one of the most beautiful venues they'd ever been too. We couldn't agree more and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a space. They do a beautiful and professional job that results in being able to enjoy your special event without any outside concerns.
We are looking very forward to visiting on our one year anniversary and reliving the magic as much as we can.
Brianne, Marcos and the entire team and Diamond Mills made our sure our special day was perfect. Leading up to the wedding day Brianne always available for any questions we had 2...
4/7. The food at both the rehearsal dinner and wedding was amazing and exactly what we wanted. They went above and beyond setting up all of our decor and making the Tavern look perfect for the reception. Would recommend The Tavern at Diamond Mills for your perfect wedding day
We got married at Diamond Mills in November 2022 and it was pure magic. Every single aspect of the entire weekend was picture perfect. The food and drinks were outstanding; the hot...
el rooms are pristine and luxurious; the views are breathtaking; and the entire staff was beyond accommodating. Brianne and Kelsey are truly special. They worked with us every step of the way, keeping us on track and organized. I could not possible recommend Diamond Mills and Brianne and Kelsey more!
Brianne is incredible! She is highly organized, knowledgeable, and experienced. Beyond her expertise, she is kind, easy to talk to, and reliable. Meeting with Brianne allowed me to...
feel confident that I had everything properly prepared for our big day. She provides her honest professional options and reminds you of small but important details that would otherwise be overlooked during the planning stages. Brianne really was a life saver throughout the whole planning process! I was certain everything would run smoothly on our wedding day because of her. Brianne, thank you!!!!!
Kelsey helped us on our wedding day- she is great!! She made sure our night ran according to the plan and helped me greatly during a dress malfunction. Kelsey was readily available throughout the entire wedding day which was super helpful! Thank you, Kelsey!!
Booking a hotel block was quite the headache. Some staff at the hotel are difficult to communicate with and were unprofessional at times. However, this would not take away from my recommendation of using Diamond Mills for your wedding day.
The venue and property are absolutely gorgeous! We got married on the balcony overlooking the waterfalls. Our pictures came our gorgeous. We can’t recommend Diamond Mills enough for your special events!!!!
My daughter and now son-in-law were married at Diamond Mills in November. From minute one we all knew Diamond Mills was the perfect venue for the wedding. After meeting Brianne and...
Kelsey we were certain this was THE place! Every detail was tended to in a punctual, professional manner and my kids fell in love with the venue and its beauty upon seeing it, too. The entire staff deserves kudos for a job well done. Brianne and Kelsey helped me with every aspect of the planning and always calmed me when I was unsure or pointed me in the right direction when I needed guidance. The venue has the unique combination of unsurpassed natural beauty, elegance, charm, location and convenience. We also required a venue that could accommodate a fairly large number of guests. Diamond Mills fit the bill on all counts. The hotel, Saugerties Steamboat Co., the Tavern and the ball room worked for us and all our weekend events. The rave reviews continue to come in months after the event. Absolutely the most wonderful setting and place for a wedding. Kelsey, Brianne and the whole staff made Emily and Josh's wedding simply perfect in every way and eternally memorable. I give them my highest and most heartfelt recommendation. And I am grateful to have found this amazing venue and its people!
Simply THE BEST!
We got engaged in November of 2021. This was the first venue we went to for a tour and needless to say the only! We met Brianne first and although we had expressed interest in the ...
Boathouse, she took us on a detailed tour of the two sites at the main venue. We ultimately decided on the Boathouse because it fit our rustic theme perfectly. From there we started working with Kelsey who was so amazing to work with! Everyone ways amazing at Diamond Mills and the Boathouse! Brianne and Kelsey knew all the great spots to take photos! We did our first look by the waterfall and stopped traffic on the bridge leading to the Boathouse because we were told everyone who gets married at Diamond Mills has to take a photo of the bridge! Kelsey and the team did a great job decorating the space based on the vision we had! We did a buffet style dinner and everyone raved about the menu we chose! We can’t say enough amazing things about Diamond Mills! It truly is a beautiful space with an amazing team!
Brianne and the team at Diamond Mills was absolutely AMAZING! We highly recommend them. Their attention to detail, communication, and professionalism is unmatched. We got married s...
pecifically at the Saugerties Steamboat Company (owned by Diamond Mills) and it was a literal dream. I could ask for the sun, moon, and stars and the team there was willing to figure out a way to get it for me! I cannot thank them enough!
Kelsey was an invaluable asset in making sure our October wedding went by smoothly at Steamboat Co.! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and full of character, needing little ...
decor other than florals. We were so pleased with the ease of the planning process and had the best time at such a unique venue! Kelsey quickly picked up on our style and really went above and beyond to perfectly execute our fall wedding. Highly recommend pics by the stairway overlooking the waterfall!
My wife and I had the privilege of getting married at Diamond Mills this past April. While we initially chose it for the stunning waterfall view, delicious food, on-site hotel and ...
charming town, we were so grateful for the amazing team who helped us along the way—especially Brianne and Kelsey.
We used multiple Diamond Mills sites throughout the weekend, from our Friday night boathouse bash, to our Saturday evening wedding, and finally our late-night drinks at The Tavern.
We had a creative vision, with lots of ideas that we wanted to bring to life. Brianne always greeted these with openness and positivity, trying to figure out how she could make them happen, rather than saying no. She and Kelsey also made things easy to coordinate from a distance (we live in New York City).
The team also made our day run smoothly, and we knew there’d be nothing for us to worry about. We are so happy we got married at Diamond Mills!
We got married at Saugerties Steamboat Company in October, and our friends and family are still buzzing about it! Not only was the venue beautiful, but our venue coordinator Kelsey...
executed our vision for the decorations far beyond our expectations. She even had our favorite pumpkin beers ready for us after the ceremony - such a lovely surprise! The venue was everything we were hoping for: the courtyard where the ceremony took place was beautiful and doubled as a perfect outdoor hangout area during the reception, complete with a firepit. Kelsey and the other SSCo. staff were friendly, efficient, and attentive, even bringing us plates of hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the delicious food in between spending time with our guests. We are so, so happy with our decision to get married at Saugerties Steamboat Company!
Brianne and the rest of the staff at Diamond Mills are awesome. We got married during a difficult time in the pandemic, after already postponing for a year. Brianne was SO helpful,...
considerate, and accommodating through all of it. We had a great experience working with Diamond Mills every step of the way from our initial visit to the day after. Plus, the food is great, hotel is very nice, and the overall atmosphere is beautiful - would highly recommend!
We couldn't have made a better decision than to choose Diamond Mills/Saugerties Steamboat Co. for our wedding venue! The boathouse is a beautiful and unique space, the food was ama...
zing, and the staff really put in 110% effort. Kelsey went above and beyond and truly understood our vision down to the smallest details. Our guests were raving about the venue, the menu and the whole event all night long. We credit Kelsey and the rest of the team immensely for the success of our day and can't say enough good things about this place!
Diamond Mills allowed me to be so customizable with my wedding which made it so much more special! Brianne and Kelsey are so easy to work with and made what can be a scary process ...
so easy! Another great part is they do the alcohol, food, and cake! Made is so much easier than trying to find a vendor for each! The food was so delicious! Wish I could do that day over and over again!
We had a wonderful wedding at Saugerties Steamboat Co. We loved the industrial feel of the venue and the amazing outdoor area. All of our guests commented how much they liked being...
out by the water and spending time by the fire pit in the evening. Brianne and Kelsey were so easy to work with and accommodating. They were responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and were quick to offer helpful tips and suggestions that made our day go that much more smoothly. When it came to the rehearsal and wedding day, they worked with our coordinator to set everything up perfectly and ensure the entire day went by without any problems. We couldn't have asked for a better team or a more beautiful space!

Every time we asked about something, the answer was "of course we can do that, it's your wedding." We had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food tasted. We can't say enough good things about our wedding and it wouldn't have been possible without Brianne & Kelsey and the wonderful staff. If you want your day to be fun, easy and worry free, you have to book this venue. The views are stunning.

The night of the wedding went off without a hitch. Everything including the food was amazing! Our family and friends raved about the party, food, and atmosphere for many days afterwards. Overall I could not of thought of a better spot to get married. The views along with the location to many hotels were one of a kind. I hope Diamond Mills continues to host great weddings!

1. We all know what happened then. They worked with us to re-schedule for Memorial Day Weekend 2022. Brianne and Kelsey thought of everything and delivered an absolutely amazing day for us. The venue, The Steamboat Company, was an absolutely beautiful location, the staff were very accommodating and wonderful and the food was undeniably amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our wedding! Can't wait to go back for our 1-year anniversary at The Tavern.

We immediately fell in love with this venue on our first visit back in 2018. Bethany and Brianne were a delight to work with throughout all of our meetings and visits. We were two ...
weeks from our original date when we were affected by the pandemic shutdown. Throughout the years, we were able to re-plan and re-schedule everything. They had us back for another menu tasting and were obviously very understanding with all of the postponements.
We were finally able to celebrate in their beautiful reception hall a month ago! All of our guests had a wonderful time! We both are very excited to see our photos by the waterfall!

ethany are fantastic communicators and incredibly organized. The FOOD, was the best any of our guests had ever had at a wedding! And the location, absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking at it, they will help you create the wedding of your dreams, nearly any way you imagine it.

onement, to the day of and all the details in between. You needed them, Bethany and Brianne were always there!! You won't feel alone, trust me!!! Their attention to detail and honesty is what a bride needs when planning her dream wedding and I had it all working with the Diamond Mills.
The food and service was phenomenal, all staff made sure the bride and groom and their guests were taken care of throughout the whole night! I have guests still raving about every part of the food, from cocktail hour to the cake!

nks were. As a bride planning during COVID, both Bethany and Brianne were so accommodating, answered all my questions, and on the day of Bethany was so attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. I would recommend this venue to any couple getting married in the Hudson Valley!
Oh my goodness, there is so much to say about how wonderful Diamond Mills is!! We were married at DM on Saturday November 13th 2021 after working with them for around 30 months (wh...
at a time lol!). From our initial meeting with Brianne, we were in love with the space and how amazing and helpful she was. DM was the first venue we looked at and after looking at three others that weekend we knew DM was the perfect spot. Just from how knowledgeable and how friendly Brianne was and how she anticipated questions we didn’t even know to ask! As we were traveling from out of state, I loved the fact that everything could be in the exact same location. The Venue, Hotel and Tavern being so close sold it for me, who doesn’t want to be able to just walk over to the ceremony instead of having to figure out timing or travel.
We were one of the wonderful couples who had to postpone due to Covid and never at any point did we have an issue dealing with DM. At every point Brianne and Bethany were so helpful and so caring in dealing with the problems many of their couples faced. We had our tasting during the point of not knowing if we would postpone or not and they worked with us. My MIL was actually there and thought Brianne and Bethany were our friends from just how lovely they were to talk to! The wait was worth it because our day was incredible!! Even planning through a pandemic and through distance it was never a hassle. I asked the most random questions and was always given a timely and helpful response, it was such a pleasure every time I had to communicate with someone at DM.
The space is absolutely amazing from our initial arrival at the Hotel everyone was in love with the view of the falls. The rooms are gorgeous, the ballroom is spectacular, the staircase was incredible for pictures. Everything came together wonderfully even though we had to move our ceremony inside due to rain. I was worried since I had loved the outside terrace, but the inside ceremony was so intimate and beautiful I think I loved it even more than our original plan.
The staff, oh my goodness, the staff is amazing! We had never been to a wedding where so many people complimented on how amazing the staff were! Seriously every server and bartender I interacted with I was amazed with how helpful and caring each of them were. We knew we had loved Bethany and Brianne, but to know that each and every member of the staff and the banquet manager, Ryan, were just as lovely and amazing to deal with as they were made me so relieved and happy that we had chosen DM.
The food… oh boy don’t get me started on how amazing the pumpkin ravioli is! We had our tasting in July of 2020 and I dreamt of the food since then. Our cake was amazing! Cocktail hour was great, everything was so good and wonderful. One of our groomsmen was a chef for years and he was insanely impressed by the mashed potatoes!
Every single detail was perfect. Every part of the process of wedding planning with DM was stress free. I loved the homework packets and checklists that they gave us, it was so easy and helpful in making everything come together. They were amazing in creating the most amazing wedding for us.
If you are looking for the most amazing venue, I would absolutely recommend DM. Everything was absolutely perfect. Everyone was amazing. Everything was delicious. I could go on forever about how perfect my wedding was and it is thanks to the wonderful people at DM and I cannot thank them all enough!
Where to begin! From day 1 these Bethany and Brianne were amazing! We booked our wedding 9/2020 in the middle of Covid and with many unknowns. They always kept us informed and up t...
o speed in the little details about how our day may or may not change. Fast forward our wedding day. Everything we could of dreamt of and sooo much more. We had no issues from service to food to the function of our day. They were a priceless emotional support for me and made my day calm and always reminded us to focus on us. The venue (steamboat) was perfection. My vision of what I hoped our day would look like came true. These ladies are a godsend and wonderful at their jobs!! Thank you and we will see you for the holidays!!!
WOW! Diamond Mills is absolutely worth the five star rating. Our wedding was on 10/23/2021 so all the details are fresh in my mind. I will start by saying that our original wedding...
date was May 8th, 2021, but due to covid, we had to push it back, which looking back was a win-win for us. The venue at Diamond Mills is situated right on the Esopus creek and during the fall, you can see the leaves changing, Our pictures came our beautifully at such a gorgeous venue. Secondly, Bethany and Brianne are Heaven-sent. Literally every single question I had was answered so efficiently via email or phone. Bethany was always accessible and always kind. I'm sure I was overwhelming her with questions and concerns in particular about covid precautions, but she never showed any frustration. The point is...planning a wedding is not easy in general, but with Bethany and Brianne, it IS easy! I truly admire their work ethic and I'm so thankful for every thing they did for us. At our rehearsal dinner and the wedding =, we had guests comment on how well-run the entire event was. We even had friends there who were getting married elsewhere a couple of weeks after us and the first words out of their mouths were, "I hope our event coordinator is as amazing as Bethany!". The attention to detail had me feeling cool as a cucumber on my wedding day, when in reality, I am usually one to be anxious. Bethany and Brianne utilize a "homework packet" that makes sure that everything is set up the way you want it on the day of your wedding. I knew going into it that we were all on the same page, including the vendors. Another reason why I loved having our wedding at Diamond Mills is because it is right in the village of Saugerties and close in proximity to many other hotels if you have a lot of guests coming from out of town. Bethany and Brianne can definitely suggest hotels, shuttle companies, and other vendors as they have worked with many and are extremely familiar with the area. We had our wedding in the Grand Ballroom, which is a beautiful room and can be decorated any which way you choose. Though we decided on the ballroom, we also checked out the Tavern and the Steamboat and I loved both. Diamond Mills can work for any style wedding for that reason. The food was INCREDIBLE. Our guests were blown away and so was I. I know that often times, brides and grooms miss out on the food because we are so busy chatting with guests, but there was a server there who let me know that he would personally make sure I got every single hors d'oeuvre and he did not dissappoint! Lastly, the rooms are just gorgeous and we stayed in the tower suite after the wedding. It was easily the nicest hotel room I have ever had the pleasure of staying it - plus, the view was breathtaking! I just felt so cared for every step of the way and I cannot explain how much that meant to me. It was a beautiful experience every step of the way. Bethany is such an asset and perfect for her role at Diamond Mills. I would also have to say the same about Brianne and Ryan as well. These ladies are on top of their game! If you are looking for a beautiful wedding in the Hudson Valley, then the Diamond Mills is definitely your place! Love them and can't wait to head back for our 1 year anniversary!
Brianne was an absolute dream to work with. Diamond mills had been the first venue my fiancé and I saw. While we ultimately didn’t decide on the venue (only because of hotel availa...
bility in the area), we absolutely LOVED the venue. The boathouse was beautiful, the waterfalls were spectacular, and the staff had all been inviting. Brianne was the sweetest and one of the most knowledgeable consultant we have encountered. Thank you, Brianne for making our search wonderful!
My wife and I got married a month ago and had our reception at Diamond Mills. We couldn’t be happier with the way everything turned out!
The building is beautiful and the view of...
the bridge/river is amazing and made for some really great pictures!
Our guests were blown away by how good all of the food was, which was no surprise. We went for two tastings and it was honestly so hard to make final menu choices because everything was so good!!
I am a big hockey fan and I asked if they could make a custom Stanley Cup wedding cake. Not only did they agree to do it but they did an awesome job and it came out amazing.
I can’t say enough how amazing Brianne and Bethany were. We had to cancel twice because of Covid and they were there for us for all of the ups and downs. They are both so sweet and kind and truly a pleasure to work with. Bethany must have answered a thousand emails from us over the last two years and she was always very prompt, thorough and super helpful! She always has a smile on her face and she was a calming presence when the Covid stress got overwhelming. She made everything go smoothly on the wedding day. I can’t say enough how much we loved working with her and how great she is at her job!!
Our experience at DM was overwhelmingly positive and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue!

kend with around 50 of our nearest and dearest. They even arranged perfect weather ;)
I don't even know where to begin with Diamond Mills. DM was maybe the third venue we considered and saw after we got engaged and it was instantly the obvious choice. Being from Sau...
gerties, this was the favorable option as far as being close to home. My husband and I both agreed that Diamond Mills would be the perfect venue, but it wasn't until the planning process that we truly saw the worth and value in what we'd chosen.
Bethany and Brianne are the backbone of a wedding at Diamond Mills, and if they aren't the strongest backbone you'll ever find!! I don't know how Bethany does it - she fielded and responded to e-mails from me consistently - usually riddled with questions or worry - and she did it with such grace. Having her there the day of was an absolute blessing and pleasure. When it came time for her to leave at the end of the night I didn't even want her to! I'd rather she stayed and joined the fun! The beauty of Diamond Mills is above and beyond, but the operations and the ebb and flow of everything truly stands out and will leave a mark on our wedding day memories. The food was fantastic, as expected, and we kept the tavern bar open after our reception for people which was a huge hit! The bartender was incredible and the option to continue the fun in a more intimate way at the end of the night was perfect. We stayed at the Hotel that night, as well, which was incredible and the front desk receptionist that night, Sara, was an angel! I could go on and on and I want to, but I'm afraid I'll get carried away. All in all, we've been wishing to go back all week. Diamond Mills is the place for sure!
This review is so overdue, but we had the BEST, most magical wedding day and we credit so much of that to Diamond Mills. We met with Brianne in 2020 (the weekend before the world s...
hut down) and were immediately impressed with the organization and attention to detail. Brianne made us feel like we were the only couple she was planning for. After touring a few other venues we decided that Diamond Mills had everything we needed and they really set the bar high. We took a chance in an unpredictable world and set the date for 2021. Bethany & Brianne did a wonderful job keeping us updated as we navigated a rollercoaster of added and dropped Covid regulations for the year leading up to our big day. We are so thankful to say that by the time May 30th rolled around we were able to have the most perfect day. I can't even brag about Bethany enough for her day-of assistance. We made a game day decision to relocate the whole ceremony inside due to rain and she perfectly re-decorated the new space. Then she hand-crafted some extra boutonnieres on the spot, while also making sure both groom and bridal parties had sufficient bar snacks. She was everywhere!
But I could really brag about all of the staff. Numerous guests raved that the bartender memorized everyone's drink order after just one visit (110 guests), custodians helped us pack up the next day, the security guard helped us find some lost cell phones at 5am. The entire Diamond Mills staff just lives hospitality!
So incredibly thankful for these ladies on our best day. Our over the top happiness is evident in every photo.
