Diamond Mills Hotel & Saugerties Steamboat Co.

cial. Everything went off great and we couldn't have imagined it any better.

d 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!

anne 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!

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!

hange. 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!!!

k, 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!

e 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!

ures! 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!

ed perfect weather ;)

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!

nd 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.

building up to our big day. The day of we did not have anything to worry about as Bethany took care of everything and kept us on schedule. You will not be disappointed by having your wedding here!

ne of the venue coordinators, was so wonderful to work with - her patience, constant communication, positive attitude and helpfulness (she knows all the best restaurants/bars/local vendors!) really helped us get through all the ups and downs of planning a wedding over the past 1.5 years. Bethany & Brianne guided us through every aspect of the wedding planning and helped make it as simple and streamlined as possible with organized excel sheets. We had our rehearsal dinner at the Steamboat Saugerties Co. with dinner, live music, and lawn games on the waterfront under the string lights. Our wedding day in the ballroom was more beautiful than we even imagined (many guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding location they've ever been to), and we never once felt rushed or out of the loop with the wedding day timeline. The event manager, Ryan, was so attentive and did an amazing job of coordinating both parties after-hours. The after party in the Tavern next door was the perfect way to end the night with more music, food and drinks, and a staff that could handle a big crowd! We loved the convenience of having our families and close friends stay at the hotel and we received glowing reviews from all of our guests about the rooms. Plus, the Esopus Suite was the ideal place for the bridal party to get hair & makeup done. We can't say enough good things about our experience and we highly recommend Diamond Mills for your wedding!

wedding in the Ballroom, after party at the Tavern, and a morning after Brunch, our weekend was truly unbelievable. Countless guests came up to us DURING our wedding to remark that this was the best wedding they had ever been to. I cannot praise Diamond Mills enough, it holds a sincerely special place in our hearts!

our planned reception at Diamond Mills in July 2021. Throughout the entire process, Brianne and Bethany were absolutely amazing. From making sure the short rib we loved could still be on the menu a year after we had planned to finding the perfect beer for our signature cocktail, they went out of their way to make our day amazing. The venue itself was outstanding: the view of the river, the ballroom that opens to the outside, and the tavern for Sunday brunch; we simply couldn't have asked for more. Guest after guest commented to us on how much they loved it. This venue and these ladies are incredible. You will not be disappointed!

f and ambiance of this stellar HV location.

organized, helpful and truly made our day so special. The staff at Diamond Mills and the hotel is also incredible. Our wedding guests are still talking about the location, the hotel, the food and amazing time they had at our wedding. We are so excited to go back and visit Diamond Mills again- it will be a spot that will forever be special to us. Thank you Bethany, Brianne, the staff at Diamond Mills!!!

ally. We really could not have booked a more beautiful place and wouldn't have changed a single thing about our wedding. Thank you Diamond Mills staff for the best day ever!

y worked with my vendors and communicated with everyone so well! We first visited Diamond Mills on a casual weekend getaway - the hotel is super clean and all the entire staff is so friendly! We fell in love with the beautiful waterfall and amazing views. We can't wait to go back and celebrate our wedding anniversary at Diamond Mills.

. During this stressful time, Bethany and Brianne were there every step of the way, providing updates and working with us to ensure our wedding day would be as special as we envisioned pre-COVID19. Bethany and Brie make wedding planning fun! Everything from our DJ to florist came highly recommended from these two. The connections that they've made with photographers, florists, DJs, bridal shops, etc. makes planning a wedding so easy. We've reached out to several DJs and photographers - each one knew and loved Bethany and Brie. This detail is often overlooked, but so crucial as it made us as a couple feel confident that everything would go smoothly, and it did! We knew our wedding day was going to be beautiful, but we had no idea how fun it would be! The day was filled with endless delicious (top-notch) food and beverages, music and dancing. Brie and Bethany not only accommodated all our needs, but went above and beyond with all requests. At last minute we hired a caricaturist (highly recommend this!) and they both jumped right in making sure all accommodations were met. If you want a beautiful wedding with people that pour their heart and soul into every detail, go to Diamond Mills! Brie and Bethany thank you for all the memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. <3

onal, knowledgeable and beyond helpful especially during difficult times. My daughter had to move her wedding date twice because of COVID and Bethany and Brianne made the whole process seamless. They were in constant contact with my daughter, alleviating any stress she had. The Grand Ballroom, where we had the wedding, offers the most spectacular views of the Esopus creek and waterfall! As guests lingered out onto the huge terrace overlooking the Falls, which lighted up at night, they couldn’t help but marvel at the stunning beauty of it. But the true star of the event I must say was the food! Our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The bartenders made amazing drinks and wait staff couldn’t have been more attentive. The night started and ended perfectly. The next morning we treated some guests to Brunch at The Tavern. Another great culinary experience! The lemon blueberry pancakes were to die for! I am beyond happy with the entire experience. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the Hudson Valley area, with a great staff who knows how to give that personal touch, this is the place for you. You won’t regret it!!!!

made themselves available. They were simply the best. Outside of amazing staff, the venue is breathtakingly beautiful and the food is absolutely delicious. Our guests are still raving about what an amazing time they had and how gorgeous the venue was. I would absolutely recommend DM to anyone looking for a venue!

rs recommended were amazing and the food incredible! Don’t hesitate for a second to have your celebration at Diamond Mills.

inner on the tavern terrace to the very last second of our wedding reception at the Steamboat Co.! 2020 has brought tremendous challenges to all, but Diamond Mills was able to ensure every precaution in order to keep us and our loved ones safe and healthy. Overall, we could not have asked for a better wedding weekend. We are so appreciative of how supportive Bethany and Brianne were from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend a wedding at Diamond Mills Hotel & Saugerties Steamboat Co. to celebrate such a special day!

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.

e day of the wedding came with such ease and calmness. They not only work great with the bride& groom, bridal party, family members, and guests but also all of our vendors. I could not recommend this venue/team enough!

nd were willing to work with us in replanning and downsizing our wedding due to Covid restrictions. While the Tavern is beautiful, our guests are still raving about the exceptional and abundant menu as well as the attentive service. I would highly suggest that any brides considering this venue reach out to either Bethany or Brianne before continuing your search. They will happily and genuinely alleviate the unnecessary stress that accompanies wedding planning. :) Best of luck future brides, and thanks again to Bethany, Brianne and Megan!!

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.

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!

he small details and minor mishaps that are bound to happen without even making us aware. The pastry chef did an incredible job matching a sketch of a cake design for our custom wedding cake! Our stay the night of the wedding in the tower suite was also great and we plan to definitely make it an annual tradition to come back! 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!

worked with Bethany who helped plan the event for us. She was easy to work with when coming up with the event order, and was helpful with her suggestions and ideas. She was very attentive and quick-thinking on the day of the event, co-ordinating with the vendors and making sure things run smoothly. The reception event staff were also very friendly and did a great job. They have a great list of preferred vendors as well and we highly recommend this venue!

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!

ading up to our wedding and were never concerned about a single detail! The food was incredible and our guests kept commenting on how rare it was to have excellent food at a large wedding. We also opted to have a morning after brunch at the Tavern, which was a great way to say goodbye to our guests. Bethany did such a wonderful job with our decor. I really did not have a great vision in mind and she made it all more beautiful than I imagined! She also kept the day running very smoothly and we never had to worry about a thing. Lastly, we were also able to design our cake in great detail and it was so amazing (and very delicious). We highly recommend booking the Diamond Mills Hotel!

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!

, and conscientious individuals, who can seriously get down to business, are great at what they do, and can make magic happen. No question seem to bother them, they were always available to talk, and were both so knowledgeable about how to have the smoothest running wedding possible, without sacrificing any beauty. 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. My husband and I couldn't be happier with service we received here. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

coordinator and was professional, patient, kind, helpful, and extremely responsive. Bethany and her team set up the venue perfectly. She made the whole planning process easy, from start to finish. The venue was gorgeous and provided the perfect winter wonderland setting we envisioned. The price was reasonable, staff was great, food was excellent, and the wedding was perfect!

dding day, the tavern was beautifully set up, the food was fantastic, and we had a wonderful time without a care at all. Many guests commented on the beautiful location. We are so, so glad we chose to have our wedding in the tavern at Diamond Mills!

ed. Diamond Mills was with us every step of the way working with us on the wedding packet and answering all my crazy requests. Bethany and Brianne are amazing and you all should check out the tavern! It’s everything you can ever want!

of everything. Most places do one thing very well. Diamond Mills does everything well. And Bethany, the event coordinator, deserves a promotion. You’re in very good hands from day one.

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!

om start to finish was beyond pleasant. Bethany and Brianne were so helpful with all of our needs. They were easy to get in touch with and responded to all of our emails quickly. The day of the wedding everything was set up perfectly. The waterfall and bridge view were breathtaking. The service was excellent and all of our guest could not stop talking about how amazing the food is. It’s very rare to see every plate cleared at a wedding, but at Diamond Mills the food is so good you can’t stop. We were told from the beginning something always goes wrong and to just let go and enjoy the day, fortunately absolutely nothing went wrong, we had the most pleasant and perfect wedding.

d Mills. We couldn’t have been happier.

e step of the way! We were lucky enough to work with Bethany for the most part of our wedding!! She is just a gem! An absolute hardworking, determined and an awesome chick! She will make you feel like she’s been your best friend for years and knows exactly what you are looking for! Bethany does her job so darn well we hope to have her help with another event in the future!! The venue itself is straight out of a magazine! Between diamond mills and SSBCO, there’s a beautiful wedding venue for everyone. Looking back on that day I would never change a thing. Everything was PERFECT! The hotel was beautiful, the reception venue was jaw dropping. My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about Diamond mills and the Saugerties steamboat company. Thank you to all of the hardworking staff that made our whole weekend there a weekend we will never forget!

lk us through the process. Diamond Mills made it easy to personalize our wedding and did a wonderful job at executing our vision! The service and food at Diamond Mills during our wedding day was also wonderful. We received nothing but high praise from guests on how delicious and beautiful everything looked. We would highly recommend the Tavern to others looking for a more intimate venue with a beautiful view of the Esopus Falls!

beautiful waterfall and the creek in the background. Moreover, Bethany and Brianne were instrumental in making our wedding run as smoothly as possible. Even though they must coordinate several events throughout the course of the year, they made us feel like our wedding was a priority and really helped us every step of the way. It made planning a wedding for 150 people way, way easier, and for that alone I would highly recommend Diamond Mills as a great place to host an event. We look forward to coming back for dinner at the Tavern on our one year anniversary.

ls blows everything out of the water . I promise your guests will love everything about this venue because ours can’t stop talking about it STILL ! I will be honest , we had a little hiccup in the beginning with room blocks because they were transitioning between staff but DM did everything and more to make the situation right with us ! Our wedding coordinator was Bethany and OMG ! Give that girl a raise she was absolutely perfect , I didn’t worry about one single thing on the day of my wedding and trust me there were a lot of dynamics to worry about lol . I honestly cannot suggest this venue enough ! Everything about them was perfect they were so respectful , polite , friendly just really the package deal ! I’m also going to add because I couldn’t find info on this when I was searching but please give your servers a little something extra ! They are super hard workers especially at DM and it literally would make their night I’m sure . I know your spending a lot but a little extra thought goes a long way and I know this because Diamond Mills really put extra thought into my whole wedding and I truly believe they did that because they wanted too not because they had too !! Okay ratings !! Food: A Pricing: A Venue: A+ Hotel accommodations near by: A- Staff: A+ Coordinator: A+ Stress free: A+ I also want to suggest my other vendors because they were equally as amazing and affordable!! Instagrams, check them out !! Venue: @diamondmillsny Photographer: @michellefrederickphoto DJ/videographer: @empire_sound Make up: @erinmullermakeup Hair: @thegreenroombeautylounge Barber: @twinsbarbershop_beacon_newyork Flowers: Urban Whiskey Design ******Last HUGE suggestion there was a TON of traffic on the thruway and we had about 15 of our guests miss the ceremony and they left leaving arrival time 15-30 min before the event started so I would make sure you stress to your guests to at least get into saugerties 45 min before hand and grab a drink at the tavern next door !****

ng, and friendly. Throughout the process, Bethany was super transparent, helpful, and super quick to respond to any questions. They made sure everyone in my family was taken care of, and were all around just amazing to work with. They really worked with me and made sure that my vision became a reality. Bethany made sure everything went smooth the day of which made me feel at ease. I would choose Saugerties Steamboat again and again! My wedding was the most beautiful and best time of my life and I owe a lot to the team at Saugerties Steamboat!!!

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!

ent above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple looking for a wonderful wedding experience!

zing. She answered everyone of my emails and million of questions. She set up our wedding venue exactly how I envisioned. Our wedding day and every day leading up to it was nothing but amazing. From the initial meeting to the food tasting to the day of our wedding everything went perfect. The food on our wedding day was exceptional, we had so many guest compliment that. The venue itself is just so beautiful. The staff at the hotel was nothing but accommodating. We had the best day ever and the best decision we made was getting married at Diamond Mills. My husband and I can’t wait to have dinner in the tavern again over the summer! We can’t thank you guys enough for an amazing day!

llic and incredibly romantic - the perfect setting for a wedding. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced for all you get - but the best part is the wonderful staff and wedding coordinator Bethany Boyce whose title could easily be fairy godmother. I guarantee she will make all your wedding dreams come true. I truly could not recommend this place enough and I am so grateful that my husband and I found them - our wedding day will always hold a special place in my heart and I owe many thanks to Diamond Mills.

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.

e everything fun! I almost wish I could do it again lol PS the cake and food was so good, I will be dreaming about it the rest of my life!

thin our budget even more difficult. We came across Diamond Mills while spending a weekend in the area for Octoberfest. We stopped by the venue and was introduced to Brianne who was cheerful, warm and easy to speak with. After sitting down with Brianne and taking a tour of the venue, we knew this was the place where we wanted to get married. 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! Brianne, Bethanny and the Diamond Mills staff have been such a huge blessing to our family and we can't thank them enough for everything.

of rustic yet formal. Brianne and Bethany were the absolute best to work with, both so down to earth and personable. 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!

most stressful details seem possible. I honestly didn’t have a single worry on the day of my wedding. Guests and vendors actually commented on “how unusually calm” I was compared to other brides on their wedding days. The food was absolutely perfect. Both Bethany and Brianne were incredibly responsive, answering last minute questions and e mails. Diamond Mills is becoming a very popular wedding venue and appears booked more than it’s not, but the attention you get from the staff at Diamond Mills makes you feel like your wedding is the only one that’s important. This is an incredibly hard to find and desired quality. Guests are still raving about the experience they had at our wedding at Diamond Mills.

us with all the planning throughout the year and was with us on our wedding day. She just made everything so much easier for us. The staff at DM were all very helpful and great to work with and we're happy we chose this venue. The venue is a beautiful space and with the Esopus Creek waterfall right there it really added to everything. Our guests loved it too and kept asking, "how did you find this place??". The food is 5+ stars. Throughout the year we visited Saugerties several times so we ate at the tavern quite a few times and the food is delicious, we've eaten breakfast and lunch here. 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. We had our rehearsal dinner at the tavern and that was also very enjoyable. We also loved our red velvet wedding cake! Is it bad luck to eat the top layer now instead of our 1 year anniversary?? I really want to. This is a great place for all events. Our experience was beyond what we could have imagined and are extremely happy with how everything went that day. Thank you to the DM!!! You will forever hold a place in our hearts.

in Saugerties and was familiar with Diamond Mills so that helped me be able to have my vision. Bethany was there with us for every step, worry, concern, change in plans. She was there for us and reassuring every want we had was attended to. I’m truly sad our is over, mainly because I miss Bethany so much. You’ll never have a more reassuring team then at Diamond Mills. And did I mention the photos come out amazing!!!

ew of the waterfall is breathtaking and the interior is beautiful. The staff was fabulous especially, Bethany the event coordinator. She couldn't have been friendlier and more professional. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was how we envisioned. All of our guests raved about the food from the cocktail hors d'oeuvres to dessert. So many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!

definitely does not lack photo ops. Not only do you have all these benefits, the food is DELICIOUS. Even the cake, which was beautiful. I highly highly recommend it. If you want your dream wedding but don't want to sell your kidney for it, Diamond Mills is the perfect place.

the flawless execution day of --- Diamond Mills came through beyond our dreams. We are both from the area and were looking for a venue that could offer incredible views of the Hudson Valley, top-notch service and food that would wow our guests. We got all that and more at the Diamond Mills. Bethany and Brianne created a customized package for us, ensuring that everything from getting ready with mimosas in the morning to our after party in the Tavern was seamless and stress free. If you are looking for the perfect Hudson Valley wedding venue, Diamond Mills is it!

met and spoke with Bethany, Brianne, and the wonderful staff at Diamond Mills, that just solidified it. We worked with Bethany over the past year to plan our dream wedding and she is seriously incredible. I shocked all my family and friends with how calm I stayed through this entire process, but honestly, so much of that was due to Bethany! She has been so responsive, helpful, organized, and supportive throughout this process. The wedding weekend went off without a hitch and that is all thanks to the amazing staff of Diamond Mills. My guests couldn't stop raving about the stunning views and beautiful venue. Not to mention the FOOD! My husband and I are pretty big foodies so this was a big one for us- and Diamond Mills more than delivered. Hands down the best wedding food I've ever had, a sentiment shared by tons of our guests. We can't thank Bethany and the entire staff of Diamond Mills for giving us the best day of our lives! I only wish we could do it all over again!

nd a lot was included (ex: catering, the cake, etc.)

so lots of our guests came for the weekend. Bethany and Brianne are seriously top notch! Our wedding was everything we wanted and so much more!

re plentiful and delicious. The cake was gorgeous and the desserts high end. Bethany (the event coordinator) attended to every possible detail. The staff was top-notch ! I am a school teacher and I hardly ever give an E+...it has to be phenomenal to earn that grade...I am happy to give Diamond Mills an E+.

s?" (We'd had a great experience while we were there, from the breathtaking views to the stellar service). After one meeting with Brianne (the only venue meeting we ever had), we were eager and excited to secure our wedding at the Tavern for 9/22. We felt like we were in great hands from that initial meeting, and we were right. After meeting Bethany, our confidence only grew - the two of them together are a magical dream team! They were so accessible, knowledgeable, and reliable. Each email or question was handled with the utmost care, and every detail accounted for. Not to mention, they ensured everything went SEAMLESSLY day-of! They perfectly realized our vision for the Tavern for our wedding, and I am in awe of how amazing everything came out. It's obvious how talented and passionate these two ladies are. Regarding the venue itself, I can't tell you how many people commented about how beautiful it was, especially the view overlooking the falls. The service at DM was also exceptional. Every staff member we've encountered there has been so friendly and accommodating. And then there's the food... SO delicious! We knew to expect this after dining there and having a subsequent tasting, but they really blew us away on the big day, and everything tasted even better than we'd remembered. We cannot wait to return to DM next year for our anniversary, if not sooner! We cannot thank Bethany and Brianne enough for helping us pull off the wedding of our dreams!! THANK YOU!!

ny went above and beyond for us to assure that every detail of the day would be perfect, which it was! They are experts at their jobs, and their passion is evident! Our reception was in the main ballroom, which was a beautiful choice! The staff that evening was beyond attentive, and we’ve heard time and time again from our guests that the service was better than anything they’d received elsewhere! There are so many picture perfect spots to do wedding photos, and the hotel was great too for the overnight stay! Thank you for making our wedding perfect! We couldn’t have asked for anything more spectacular!!

ghout the night. Everyone said they had a great time! Our coordinator, Bethany, was truly amazing from start to finish. She was extremely organized, personable, accommodated our special requests, and clearly cared about us and our big day. The fact that she was so on top of it during the planning process really put us at ease. During the event, we had a few snafus but Bethany and her staff were flexible, kept us calm, and adjusted as needed. The food at Steamboat was exceptional. Everyone was really impressed with how delicious everything was. The only feedback we'd give is having better alignment between the wedding venue and the Diamond Mills' hotel properties. It required some back and forth to deal with the property manager and unfortunately the property right next door to Steamboat had a 3-night minimum that they wouldn't budge on. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience and the PERFECT day! I would highly recommend Diamond Mills and Saugerties Steamboat to others!

would be great (and it was!). Our guests repeatedly expressed how "epic" the wedding was because of the food, the venue, and the overall experience. Especially with having close to 300 guests, having the luxury of the ballrooms as well as the terrace, no one ever felt too tight. We most definitely recommend Diamond Mills if you're looking for a enjoyable, almost too-easy wedding planning experience with a result that looks too amazing!

s well as myself with a nut allergy, and Bethany made sure everyone got what they needed. Our wedding was perfect and we got so many compliments from our friends both about the location as well as about the food. The pictures of the ceremony space overlooking the waterfall were incredible. I could not have been happier.

it is ! Combine that with a killer view of the Creek & River, and the amazing food and beverage services offered by the Diamond Mills Hotel and you’ve got yourself a winner . Bethany and Brianne were both pleasures to work with and went out of their way to accommodate all requests. Food was fabulous and we had an absolutely amazing experience.
