Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel

beyond!!!!! We LOVE them and everything they did for us that night! Jenna was always around if we needed something and Cheo was so professional and helpful. Everyone is still raving about the great time they had and how good the food was! Even people that are picky eaters were very satisfied. I wish we could do it again because we had the best time. The rooftop ceremony was perfect. It gets a little warm up there and the sun is a bit in the guests eyes at 5:30pm on a Saturday in June but it was a quick ceremony and everyone thought it was BEAUTIFUL!! We could not be happier with our day. Thank you to everyone at the Grand!!!

met Gina , till the day of our event , she was AMAZING ! No matter how many questions(and believe me there were hundreds ) , how many special requests or changes , Gina made it happen with a smile. We had our rehearsal and dinner the night before our wedding . Gina was there to orchestrate the rehearsal and set us up for dinner in the hotel lobby. The day of the wedding , our ceremony and reception sites were set up perfectly by Gina and her staff. We had an 11am ceremony and Gina and Ryan our Maitre D were there with us at 7am to give us access to every suite available to us for photos and pre-wedding assembly. We were married on the gorgeous 4th floor rooftop but had a bit of a scare. It was raining up until an hour before the ceremony...but Gina never panicked or told us we had to move the ceremony inside ...to the contrary as soon as the rain stopped they had the 4th floor setup quickly as if there had been no interference at all . Right before the reception started , Gina and Ryan walked us into the main ballroom to make sure we approved . We were also met by the GM Maureen who congratulated us !! Our party was amazing , Ryan made sure the food was hot the drinks were cold and the party flowed smoothly between the hotel and our DJ. Ryan , Gina and Maureen remained onsite the whole time , AMAZING !! Our head server , Stephanie was tireless all day and worked with a smile to get us everything we possibly needed !! The other wait staff received rave reviews from our guests. At the end of our event we partied in the lobby bar and the wait staff and bartenders were phenomenal. Front desk staff was always accommodating to us and our guests (special shoutout to TJ for being super accommodating !) At the very end of our event , Gina , Ryan and Stephanie escorted us to our honeymoon suite ....carrying all our gifts for us , extra wedding cake and tons of food for us to snack on !!! Our wedding turned out exactly the way we wanted it to . When I say nothing went wrong and we were in heaven all day , I MEAN IT !!! If you want a fantastic venue where you get it all , great staff , great food and service , onsite hotel and tons of little extras for your money this is the place. We looked at 7 venues and as soon as we walked into the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel they literally had us at hello .... we immediately fell in love with the ambiance and staff . You can never put a price on a good time and I am so glad we didn't!! Thanks to everyone!, James and Sophia

a beautiful venue for bridal parties to get ready prior to the wedding. It was spacious and very comfortable for the bridesmaids, moms, and stylists. The meals we ordered and had delivered to the Club Room on the morning of the wedding were delicious. Since our wedding was at the Grandview, it was an incredibly convenient location for our out-of-town guests. Transportation could not have been easier, and our guests raved about the trolley that took them to and from the Grandview. There was even transportation made available to our rehearsal dinner on the night before our wedding. Overall, our experience at the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel was fantastic, and we would recommend this hotel to anyone getting married in the Poughkeepsie area!

Gina and the staff were so amazing at making sure things went smoothly (a few days before our wedding Donald Trump announced he was holding a presidential rally next door to the hotel). You'd think that your day would be ruined- but with the professionalism and the confidence this team showed us (who knows it could've all been a front for me) but they made the day flawless. If I had to do it again, knowing there'd be a rally next door I would. Thank you all for making our day amazing and thank you Gina for making sure I was a happy bride.

I always had a drink in my hand! I would totally reccommend this venue if you are looking for a beautiful ballroom and want your reception perfect!

beds (though I will say, these rooms are pretty pricey). The booking process was a challenge, since they only release rooms to you in blocks of 10 (and you need to self-monitor and ask to add additional increments). Regardless of those constraints, the team was professional and helpful (even putting a nail in the wall to hold up my long wedding dress since the closet wasn't high enough)! The rooms could definitely use some updating, but for the price, this was a great option!

lax and let loose. After the reception everyone naturally made their way over the the hotel lobby bar/grill and the party continued until the early am. I'm originally from the Hudson Valley and I was proud to have my wedding here. Michelle was our primary contact and we worked closely with her to set-up the wedding. She was wonderful and I can't speak highly enough as she was so accommodating throughout the process. We had the royal package which had so many food options it was hard to choose. I had been nervous about the food since the prices seemed too low compared to other venues, but it was really great. Overall I highly recommend this venue if you are looking for tremendous value and a way for your guest to enjoy themselves in an elegant setting. They really know how to throw a party.

cannot stress how amazing they all were, my guests have been raving non stop about the food (both quality and quantity), the friendly staff and the accommodations). I would recommend this facility in a heartbeat.

ted and on top of things! The food was amazing, the staff were so helpful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the alcohol kept flowing! I totally recommend this place to bride-to-be's!!!!!

rocess. She was very responsive to all of our questions and was a joy to work with. The ballrooms are beautiful, up lighting and chandeliers looked spectacular in my wedding photos! My guests could not stop raving about the food, both the cocktail hour and dinner plates were beautifully put together and tasted amazing. The venue is a hotel so my guests did not have to travel after the wedding, everything you need is right onsite which was so convenient. The bridal suite on the first floor was PERFECT for hair and makeup with the bridal party. We had 15 or more people in there at one time, getting ready comfortably. We also were able to put the groom and his guys in another suite upstairs for them to get ready, which was newly renovated and had a gorgeous view overlooking the water and bridge! Overall the staff at The Poughkeepsie Grand were accommodating, friendly and professional. All of my interactions with the staff were pleasant, from the front desk to my head waitress at the wedding. Thank you to all of the staff members for helping my husband and I celebrate....you made our night!

reated us and our guests like royalty!! Thank you so much 😊 We highly recommend The Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel for your special day! You will not be disappointed!!!

and my groom hand and foot. We didnt even have to make our own plate they took us first to every station and made us our plates while we danced and spoke with family and friends, My younger nephews who have sever allergies and couldnt eat most of the food they were kind enough to go in the kicthen and make them completely separate meals to accommodate. They were just genuinely nice people. Michelle was our go to and she was jsut awesome, very organized helped with everything even last minuet changes i had that day!! The bridal suite was gorgeous! Me and my girls got ready in there and the guys got ready at the bridal party suite. Everyone has not stopped raving about our wedding, but especially because of how awesome this venue was! The price is great you get sooo much for what your paying and the food was delicious. (though I barely got to eat :( I was told by everyone how yummy it was!!) Their packages offer you so much! We went with a stations package which was buffet and let me tell you the amount of food we had was crazy! the desert was delicious they offer free breakfast in the am for the guests that stay at the hotel which was fun the next morning waking up and seeing everyone. They just really made my wedding amazing me and my husband keep saying that we wish we could go back and do it all over again! Our families have suggested us just going back up there and having a party and staying the night that is how much we loved this venue!

, we also received 5 free guest rooms which was perfect for people traveling from out of state that spent so much just to be there already. It was so easy to book and to check on who else had booked into your block throughout the entire process.

heir rooms. Pros: Free parking, wifi, hot breakfast, passed out Welcome bags (they don't allow personalized per guest, but they do allow for wedding bags they can hand out to anyone who used our Wedding code), convenient to the reception venue, at The Grandview (free trolley service to and from The Grandview to The Grand hotel, throughout the night of the wedding). Only Con: The room rate code only worked half the time, so keep an eye on that! (If that happens, guests can call in and they always were great about updating the price for our guests so they didn't have to pay more). Overall, I would recommend!!

ng they decorated the ceremony space, the cocktail hour space and the reception area perfectly to what I had envisioned! My wedding day ran so smoothly thanks to the great staff at the Grand! Who could forget to mention the food???? OMG there was so much and every thing I ate was delicious, and every guest I asked said the food was marvelous! Would I recommend this place to a friend YES I would.... The package we chose was perfect for our budget and included so many extras that you would have to pay extra for at other locations! Great place oh and if you do stay the night the room is grand, and breakfast the next morning was abundant and very tasty! 5 star service!!!!

hings about them. Tara helped us plan our day and she was always available to answer any of our questions throughout the whole planning process. From the moment our big day began, all of the staff at the hotel made us feel like royalty. We picked the biggest package and our guests truly enjoyed every bit of it. The food was great and seemed never ending. To this day people talk about how amazing our wedding day was.

ur glasses were always filled and we were comfortable; she even went as far as to get my husband a tide to go pen because he got food on his tux! (THANK YOU SARAH) Our food was absolute amazing, our set up was just what we asked for and Michelle was such a great help! Aside from the reception, the hotel was a great convenience and was very appreciated by all of our guests. Our reception ended at midnight and we were at the bar until 2! Such WONDERFUL night with many thanks to the catering and events team!

never had an empty glass or a dirty dish in our hands. We had decided on this venue because all of our guests were from out of town and they had the best value. The bridal suite was perfect and was just redecorated.

ny headaches or stress. We easily planned all of the details together and she was available to answer any questions we had. One of the best parts was being able to give our final head count before midnight the night before - we e-mailed her at 11:30pm and she took care of it! The day of was absolutely fabulous. When our limo pulled up we were greeted outside and brought to the bridal suite. From there, we were taken care of the entire night. Not only were my husband and I were treated like royalty, but so were our parents and our entire bridal party. The servers were fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The food was delicious, as were the drinks. Every staff member was beyond accommodating and they made our day flawless, from the time we arrived, to cocktail hour, all the way to the end of the reception. The room was set up beautifully, and the green uplighting added a perfect glow to our packed dance floor. At the end of the night, our attendants brought us and our gifts up to our beautiful honeymoon suite and made sure we had everything we needed. We ended our night at the Market Street Grill where our guests were able to continue the party. All of our family and friends could not stop talking about the great service, food, and comfort of the rooms the next day at the hot brunch. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. I highly recommend the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel as a wedding venue! They did an amazing job of hosting our gorgeous wedding!! -Kaitlyn

king on you so often I felt like royalty! Never once was my drink empty, nor did I have to ask for a thing! From the minute I lined up to walk to the alter they were right by my side with step by step direction. Never once was i nervous! Plus the bar in location was a great after party!

t was very manageable and we were very pleased with the outcome. The staff was very hospitable to us, my family, and our guest. We stayed the night before the ceremony, and the sleeping accommodations, breakfast the wedding day, changing room, conference room for make-up, was AMAZING!!!!! My wedding day was perfect. The maître D and the hostess were on point with EVERYTHING. The ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception, and the suite for the honeymoon were perfect. I could not have asked for a more suitable location, a perfect wedding, and a gracious staff. This was a very special moment for us. The wedding party and family really enjoyed how beautiful things turned out for the amount of money that was requested. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure that our day was really our day. The vendors were accommodated fully, the bar was stocked, and the food was the best food at a wedding that I ever tasted. We had a few couples that were/are getting married this year and wish they knew about this place prior to booking their location. I will recommend this location, not only for a wedding but for golden anniversaries, birthday parties, and even family reunions. I could not have found a better location for the price and all that came with it. Our wedding was by far a blessed and special day. We truly appreciate what the Poughkeepsie Grand staff, hostess and managers have done for us.

and our bridal suite. Tara was always available whether by phone or email to answer any and every question. She made us feel very comfortable that everything for a big day was going to go perfectly. On our wedding day we had 2 valet servers that were committed just to us as a couple and we were treated like royalty, never wanting for anything. Every minute of the wedding went exactly as planned with Tara making sure that everyone was where they were supposed to be. The reception itself was even better decorated than i could have imagined, and I made all the decorations myself! I would certainly recommend The Poughkeepsie Grand and their incredible staff to any and all. In fact our close friends, Nicole and Sean are getting married there next October 2015 and have had the same wonderful service from Tara Kaywork as well. Kudos and tremendous thank yous to The Poughkeepsie Grand!

swered quickly and efficiently. We worked with Tara, who was great. She helped us along the entire time, from questions about the venue itself, to personal wedding questions she was always there. The big day itself was perfect, and we couldn't ask for more. The staff was so pleasant the entire day, and kept the day moving smoothly. Our guest still compliment us on our wedding day. They loved everything about it. The food, service, and accommodations were perfect. I would recommend the PGH to anyone. It is a beautiful venue, it is affordable, and it is very convenient with the hotel rooms right there for your guests. The hotel also has a lot to offer with each package, which makes planning your special day that much easier! The PGH is definitely the way to go, and we look forward to going back for future events (including our close friend's wedding next fall)!!!

egency Ballroom I was absolutely floored by its beauty. Tara Kaywork was our sales rep and she was also phenomenal. She worked with us every step of the way to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted. On our wedding day everyone from Tara to our personal maitradees were just so nice and accommodating. I was on crutches and they paid extra attention to that and got me what I needed. We both were extremely happy with the services provided....and the food and wedding cake was delicious!

ast detail. Tara was very helpful in giving us suggestions of how everything will look that day and gave us guidance of what to do step by step in order to have the perfect day. All the staff was courteous and attentive to all of our needs. The ball room was beautiful it was way more than I expected it to be, everything was beyond my expectations and all of my guest were blown away! We went to a lot of different venues and none of them compared to the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel and no other place can’t beat the price for everything the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel offers. I highly recommend having your wedding at the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel.

ou want. She always had a big smile and made you feel you were the only bride she has dealt with! And we know she has many:) We all want and say "the food has to be a lot and good"... And it was!! I have a big Italian family and everyone went home with seconds.There staff is on point with everything! We had Mitchell and Sara . Mitchell even came up to me while I was dancing and asked if I wanted a glass of water! I had a lot of family traveling from westchester and we felt safe to know everyone would be staying overnight which made it accommodating for all our guests, and to wake up to an unbelievable complimentary buffet breakfast which is included in the stay. Make the grand your choice! You will be so happy you did! Good luck!

nd worked with us. The day of the wedding, we had no worries. Everything went smoothly and we still get guests saying how beautiful everything was. For the money you are paying, you get so much included. The rooms, the service, the food, all of it went above and beyond our expectations. I recommend this venue to everyone planning a wedding in the area.

wedding coordinator was Gina and she was absolutely fantastic, professional, and very helpful right from the start. At our first meeting we were given plenty of instructions for when things were due and what would be included in our package. One of the things I loved about this venue was that almost everything was covered in our package. Since there are so many details that come with planning a wedding my mind was really put at ease seeing that things such as table linens, cake, and even center pieces would all be included. As the wedding approached we had our final meeting and put together our menu, color scheme, and all other details we wanted at our reception. One week before the wedding we dropped off everything we had bought such as card box/cake servers and were told the staff would set everything up from there. The day of our wedding had arrived and the bridesmaids and I all got ready in the honeymoon suite which was beautiful and had plenty of space for everyone. After the ceremony we arrived for our cocktail hour and the bridal party got to use the bridal suite and had our own appetizers and waiters. Right before our guests were let into the reception my husband and I were taken into the ballroom to see everything for the first time. I was blown away the second I entered the door, everything looked better than I had ever imagined. The lighting, tablecloths, and centerpieces were all absolutely beautiful and elegant. Our wedding cake was gorgeous. It definitely exceeded our expectations! The staff throughout the night was fantastic and would check in with me about every 20 minutes to make sure everything was good and to see if I needed anything. The wedding turned out so perfect and we had so many compliments on the entire reception. Our guests said many times how delicious the food was, they were very impressed at the size of the portions, and they really loved the lighting and staff as well. We really loved everything about the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel and would highly recommend having your wedding there. They made our wedding night more special then we could ever imagine!

me! She always responded to my emails quickly and understood when my new mommy brain made me forget about little things. The day of the wedding was incredible. We had a large bridal party (16 not including ourselves) and the staff handled it with ease. When we came in to the reception to get the first look I cried tears of joy. The whole idea I had in my head had been executed to a level I couldn't have ever dreamed of. We were so well taken care of the whole night by Mitch and the entire wait staff. I couldn't be happier we had our wedding there. I'm sad it's now over because I will miss all the amazing people we met there along the way.

feel like we mattered and never once made me feel like I was bothering her. She was very accommodating when we had a last minute add on the day of the wedding. Everything was perfect. I never felt worried about, oh no what if this or that goes wrong. Gina had me so stress free and made sure everything was perfect. I have to say also that Mitch and Joe the head waiter were awesome also. They were on top of everything. The food and service were amazing. Still to this day over 6 months later we still have people talking about how great our wedding was. Thank you to all who were a part of our day at the Poughkeepsie Grand and a special Thanks to Gina who was amazing and we are both so glad we worked with her.

mainly with Gina Pagenelli. She answered all of my questions quickly and professionally. Gina was able to help me planning my wedding from NYC and with me only being able to travel to Poughkeepsie once in awhile. The weekend of the wedding was fantastic. Everything went smoothly and if there were any issues, I was unaware. The food was delicious, the drinks were flowing and the room was beautiful. We paid $70 per guest and had our ceremony on site. There isn't a better deal out there! Our day was absolutely perfect. Thank you PGH!

included when you book at The Grandview. We also got 5 complimentary rooms that we gave to our parents and grandparents as a thank you. Complimentary trolley cars are provided as guest transportation to and from the venue and hotel. Hot breakfast that was very good is included! Our guest felt comfortable which allowed them to enjoy our wedding all that much more!

l and said that they have attended weddings with less food than what was served at cocktail hour alone! So when it came time to eat dinner our guests were feeling full to say the least, but beyond pleased to learn that the staff packaged their leftovers to bring home! They also walked around with seconds for everyone!! They packaged all the extras for us including dessert and stored them in the hotel refrigerator, which came in handy at 2am when we realized how hungry we were from all the excitement. The staff at the Grand were beyond courteous and attentive!! Starting with Gina and the entire experience of planning. The morning of the wedding we went to the bridal suite to get ready and one of the managers came into introduce himself and brought us champagne, and made us feel very welcome! The night of our wedding we had the pleasure of meeting the rest of the staff, our maitre d came in and introduced herself and asked if we needed anything and then sent in our head waiter Joe. Joe was BEYOND helpful and memorized my entire bridal party's drink preference and kept them coming! He even brought one of my groomsmen a whole six pack of Octoberfest beer!! The entire night he was at our beck and call. I can not express how awesome he made the night with his attentiveness! The set up was gorgeous! The staff put all of my little touches together in a way that exceeded my expectations! I also loved that they took my husband and I into the reception area prior to all the guests, so we could take a moment to appreciate the beauty rather than trying to take it all in during our entrance. I could not have envisioned a more perfect reception! Overall, the POK Grand is hands down the best venue to have your reception! Your guests will not be disappointed or hungry!!

o directions and room blocks. Our wedding planning was stress-free with the help of Tara Kaywork who also helped us remember important details for all of our wedding planning! She was always available for questions, no matter how small. Our reception was in the Terrace Ballroom which is such a dynamic room - we were truly able to personalize it and it looked more beautiful than we could have imagined. At the start of our planning, we had envisioned an outdoor wedding but had to stray from that plan because of cost. All of our personal details were more than accounted for at The Grand. Tara and the rest of the staff at The Poughkeepsie Grand stopped at nothing to make our wedding day exactly what we wanted! When we first contacted the Poughkeepsie Grand to visit and explore options, we mentioned that instead of a sit-down formal dinner, we wanted more of a cocktail party feel for our entire reception. Tara helped us plan a Stations package with interactive food options and our guests were blown away. We had a salad station, a continental station, a saute station, and a carving station. The food was delicious, from the many hors d'oevres to the delicious and savory fall dinner food to our luscious cake from The Pastry Garden. Tara even put our flowers on our cake minutes before our reception! We loved working with her and our maitre-de and servers were just as lovely and helpful throughout the night. We will always be impressed with our experience and so grateful that we could have this beautiful wedding and not spend a fortune! The Grand made our wedding planning so easy and enjoyable, and we will definitely work with them in the future. Our guests all had a great experience with their rooms and the breakfast for guests in the morning was phenomenal. We will be raving about The Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel for quite some time!

ove that they had us bring everything from the cake topper to the programs in a week before the wedding. It felt like a weight had been lifted! The day of we felt like royalty. The bridal suite was spacious and perfect for our needs. We had both our ceremony and reception there and they were able to transform the hall between the two both efficiently and beautifully. We were attended to all night and at the end we were escorted to our room with food and cake (as we had barely been able to eat, it was much appreciated). The brunch the next day was delicious and a nice way to say good-bye to our guests. Considering the price per person included the cocktail hour, meal, and open bar, you really can't find a better deal around.

or someone whose Type-a mixed with a lil OCD i was EXTREMLY impressed. the night of our wedding our maitre'D and personal waiter took such good care of us, our drinks were never empty, anything we wanted we got, they packed up EVERYTHING for us at the end of the night,and practically tucked us into bed. I love this place because you get so much for your money, everything is included and everything is at one location. my guests are STILL raving about the food and the hotel rooms, and the overall hospitality. its just an amazing place.

le quality and service and at a much lower price than other places in the area. I have so many examples of how they went above and beyond - they discreetly helped me accommodate an unannounced guest, and they created a unique meal for a vegan guest (day of), just to name a few examples. And of course, they really delivered on everything you'd expect too -- outstanding service and attention to all of our guests, fantastic food and an abundance of booze, really great presentation of the rooms, and the personalized attention leading up to and on the day of the event that made a wedding planner totally unnecessary. Like I said, they do an amazing job and we were vert happy with them every step of the way.

hey ended up only blocking 10 rooms for a wedding of 250! They apologized for their error but would not offer any remedy. 2 months before our wedding we had to book a new block of rooms at the Marriott and pay for transportation for our Marriott guests. Had difficulty at every step planning with the Grand Hotel - too bad because it is a beautiful place.

guests enjoyed the hotel bar after the wedding as well. The rooms are a LITTLE pricey though.

day was absolutely perfect.

ellent service. The wedding coordinator that we had was excellent. She answered any questions that we had very promptly and worked to find the answers to questions we had if she did not know right away. The staff took such good care of the bridal party during cocktail hour and during the reception. Everytime I turned around there was someone giving me another drink. Excellent, friendly customer service here! I would definitely recommend this place to all of my friends and family looking for a place to have a wedding in the future or any other event.

a couple weeks before the wedding. Last minute, Michelle told us she couldn't make it to the rehearsal, which I understand, but it was last minute. She did not speak with the other coordinator about the details of our wedding which led to a disorganized rehearsal. I do believe that Michelle is a great coordinator, but I sincerely believe that her not being at the rehearsal and not communicating with Gina led to a lot of miscommunication the day of the wedding. We were told that employees would take care of certain things that apparently they are not. They did not help direct people into the ceremony room, as if the guests are supposed to know where to go. They are accusing our officiant of doing things wrong and causing the delay. They accused our photographers of causing the delay. They are accusing everyone else instead of taking responsibility for not doing what they promised, even if it is not hotel policy. If it in not hotel policy, they shouldn't have told us they would get people into the ceremony and have our families ready for pictures. As a result of the MASSIVE amounts of miscommunication, we were unable to get family pictures. We have one picture of each family and that is it. Overall, my wedding was great and the food was amazing. My guests loved the wedding, but I am absolutely disgusted at the amount of lying that Michelle is doing in relation to our wedding. I think that many people made mistakes and a lot of things were not well communicated, but for Michelle to fabricate accusations about our other vendors, my husband yelling at her, and the fact that she checked on me all day is unprofessional and uncalled for. I also want to add that my mother was an integral part of the planning process and wedding day. My mother attended every meeting as she was paying for our wedding. On the day of the wedding, Michelle did not even acknowledge her or say hi to her, especially knowing about a family emergency that my family had gone through only 5 days before the wedding that through all of us off track. I would recommend the grand, but I would most certainly suggest to get more information in writing as to the timeline of the day.

d the breakfast was delicious!

showering us with attention from beginning to end. They made sure everything was to our satisfaction at all times. Their service was also perfect. All the guests were pleased with everything. I can not say enough positive things about our wedding. We owe it all to the amazing staff at the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel.

amazing. My husband and I can not say enough how GREAT everyone was. The wait staff was terrific. I don't think I had to ask for anything. They made sure we had everything we wanted or asked for. They met us at the door when we arrived and led us to our room at the end of the night. All our guests commented on the place as well. They brought my husband and I into the hall before the reception to make sure everything was ok. I would recommend the Poughkeesie Grand Hotel to Anyone. They are AMAZING there.

ope box and the Poughkeepsie grand had one of their own to use. The cake was amazing (we love the pastry garden!), the food was delicious, and they gave us leftovers to take. We had so much, we had a small dinner party the next night and re-heated the food. I would recommend this venue to anybody. They absolutely spoiled us on our wedding day, and our glasses/our bridal parties glasses were never empty.

to get Sam Adams on Tap for the wedding and was a popular drink.

ood right by our side making sure we had everything we needed the entire night!

had convinced me that I would be more than satisfied with the treatment and amenities that they provided. We had the Starlight-Dutchess for our cocktail hour and the Regency for our reception. They went above and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of. Anything we wanted (even the day of) they tried to achieve for us. The rooms were decorated exactly to the specifications that we wanted. I will say that I was wrong to ever doubt their ability to put on an absolutely beautiful reception. The catering and sales manager, Michelle was our saving grace and was there for every step of the process. She made sure that our reception had the food, decor and service that we had requested. My family, friends and party felt like they were completely taken care of. I could not be more grateful for all that the Poughkeepsie Grand did for us.

inator and did a fantastic job. Our guests had a wonderful time and many said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to!!!

nd and I were happy and enjoying ourselves. It is also incredibly well priced, including centerpieces and cake with all packages. I received so many compliments on how well everything turned out and how great the staff was.

some! They will bring you everything and anything that is being served right to your own private room. During the reception your drink is always full and they aim to please by assigning a personal staff to the couple. It was just a pleasant experience from top to bottom!! Loved it and would do it all over again!

ke $90 a person and our package included massive amounts of food, an upgrade in food, free hotel rooms, flowers, the cake, linens, a signature cocktail, they offered seconds for dinner, it was just amazing. We had our own private suite to get ready in and have private cocktail hour in, the service was impeccable, our maitre d was there to greet us the moment the limo pulled up, we had champagne brought to us the entire time we were getting ready, the staff was wonderful and our coordinator was amazing. They know how to throw a party, and they did a phenomenal job. Our guests were saying that it was the best wedding they had every been to. I was thrilled to hear it!! It was definitely thanks to the venue!!!!!!

not great, but tasty and there was tons of it. The only complaint we have is about our wedding coordinator Michelle. My husband and I are very non-traditional people. We didn't want the standard cookie cutter wedding, rather one that really reflected us and our likes. Michelle fought us every step of the way. One of the things I didn't like was that when you do a sweetheart table, they put the cake table directly in front of it. I'm short, so no one would be able to see me behind my cake. When I said I wanted it moved, she told me that was how they did it. It took me ten minutes of arguing for her to say, "oh well we can put it over here." Many things were like that with Michelle. So I say use the Grand because they are an amazing deal and you get good quality for the money, but stay away from Michelle.

er wedding with The Grand. The are amazing!

esome and everyone talked about how great the food and service was for the reception. We had a problem with the bartenders and making no alcholic blended drinks and as soon as we told our Maitre' D he straightened it all out and those guests got thier drinks.

our guests really enjoyed themselves. The Grand also provides five guest rooms and the honeymoon suite as part of the wedding package, which we found really nice. It was also wonderful that our Maitre'd packaged up part of each course and brought it up to our room at the end of the night...we were so busy enjoying ourselves at the wedding that we did not get to eat as much as we would have liked. It was nice being able to enjoy the food later on! We definitely recommend the Grand...they helped to make our wedding day so wonderful!

have our wedding.

he bridal suite itself has a hot tub in it.

A PRIVATE ROM JUST FOR THE WEDDING PARTY. WE WERE THEN CATERED TOO. I COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING. I LOVED IT! MY DRINK WAS NEVER EMPTY THE ENTIRE NIGHT AND NEITHER WAS MY PLATE OF FOOD. I WAS ATTENDED TO WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I WAS BEING OVERCROWDED.
