Senate Garage

for us. As all the pictures from the website and other reviews show, Senate Garage has a beautiful and unique combination of industrial, vintage and warm and romantic vibe. We had our reception inside and the ceremony and cocktail hour outside at the Senate House grounds (an extra cost). The garden provided such a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and plenty of photo ops! The venue comes with many benefits, including farmhouse tables and chairs, a wooden bar with vintage mirrors on the wall, a piano, unique light fixtures, a bridal suite, vintage and comfortable lounge furniture that can be moved wherever you’d like and more. Due to the beautiful character of the space and provided furniture, you truly do not need much decor or flowers! April was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. She was SO helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process, providing vendor recommendations, helping communicate to vendors and even an after party location for us, and answering all our questions via phone or email related to timeline, the space, decor, and among other things! She helped make our day seamless. Our wedding was magical and the venue plus being in Kingston played a significant part in creating a warm and fun experience for our guests.

ay have been even better with, the rain plan as it felt more intimate. The entire day seemed to go off without a hitch and we appreciated the team at Senate and April especially pivoting so quickly and seamlessly due to the rain. We had so many compliments on the space itself and people seemed to have a marvelous time. We would not change a thing. April kept everything organized and was extremely communicative. We would recommend Senate as a venue to anyone interested in a Hudson Valley wedding.

s the spot! And every element of the process exceeded all of our expectations. April was amazing to work with. Communicative, clear, and extremely helpful. She responded to all of our inquiries quickly. Being at a venue where we brought in most of our vendors could be very daunting, but April helped to make the process so smooth, and was always on top of information needed! The space itself is AWESOME! Large yet intimate. Cool yet cozy. We unfortunately dealt with weather on the day of our wedding and April along with all of the vendors worked diligently to help make our special day happen - and it was AMAZING! The only thing we wish was different, was that it didn’t go by so fast. We also have to say that being in the town of Kingston was really awesome. The town is fantastic with amazing restaurants, shops, bars, and really provided a fun weekend adventure for our family and friends! We cannot recommend Senate Garage enough!

site grounds behind the venue provided the most gorgeous ceremony and cocktail hour site, and it was a dream to get married in front of the Senate House and its garden. The venue itself has so many perks that might go underappreciated during the search process: you don't have to bring in any lighting because the venue has gorgeous light fixtures throughout that can be dimmed as the night goes on; the lounge furniture is permanent and fits in the space perfectly; SG takes care of the bar services and their two indoor bars are permanent, gorgeous and well-placed in the space to keep people on the dance floor. Everyone said our signature cocktails, which SG let us create and provide recipes for, came out so delicious! We had our main block at Hotel Kinsley, which made getting to the venue (walking just a couple of blocks!) stress-free. And of course April, SG's manager, was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process! Our wedding was magical and the venue played such a big part in creating a warm experience for our guests.

remony and photographs. The chic industrial interior looked magical filled with candles, flowers, and modern chandeliers. The site provided ample space for all our guests who were seated in a u-shape around the dance floor, everyone having a view of the band and the dancing. I can’t say enough about how we appreciated April Ost of Senate Garage. She was so easy to work with as she shepherded us along through the whole process with ideas and suggestions that made the event so successful. Our guests felt like they were in a movie all evening! Senate Garage is absolutely perfect for any event. I give it 100 stars!!!

r wedding decor dreams (or if you’re like us, gorgeous enough to just add candles and flowers and let the brick walls and industrial touches speak for themselves). April is a joy to work with, a truly kind person who knows the building and the industry inside and out. Our wedding went absolutely flawlessly, and I’m sure a big part of that was her behind the scenes work with our vendors. Kingston itself is a wonderful location to have a wedding—we loved that SG was right in the middle of a bustling part of town that our guests had the chance to explore before and after the wedding. Due to the time of the year, we had both our ceremony and reception entirely inside, and while the outside ceremonies and cocktail hours look incredible, if you are also planning an entirely indoor wedding I can guarantee an indoor ceremony is just as beautiful and the flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception is seamless. We will forever treasure our memories at Senate Garage and recommend it to future couples wholeheartedly.

ests as well. The space is large but was comfortable for the amount of guests we had. We were able to have the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in the same space which made things easier for everyone. We loved having the curtained off bridal suite area to relax and take a breath. It was nice to have a private powder room in there as well. April, the venue coordinator was so knowledgeable and communicated so well with us.

us. The place has so much character on its own before you even bring in your own decor. April, the venue manager, was there every step of the way to answer our questions throughout the planning process and on site for our wedding to help make sure everything went according to plan. We are so happy with our decision to have our wedding there and would highly recommend it!

swer any questions. The space itself was beautiful. The light fixtures and windows panes, the bar and outside grounds was the perfect setting for a fall wedding. We couldn't have been happier with the location and April helping us on our big day.

ed. Everything about it was just right. April from Senate Garage did an amazing job making our wedding a success. The space and Senate House grounds are such a beautiful place to have a wedding, and April made the experience so enjoyable. We would frequently bounce ideas off of her and she would provide great feedback. At one point we showed her our seating chart well before the due date and she worked closely with us on how to improve it. April was incredibly kind and patient while we worked with her and we cannot thank her enough for making our wedding a success. Kingston is such a cute town and we cannot wait to go back and visit on anniversaries or for just a fun weekend!

uld accommodate our guest size and budget that was unique. Senate Garage was PERFECT! It’s an industrial chic venue with a ton of interesting history. An old carriage house, turned car shop, turned venue, the owners and staff have made this a magical, sought-after wedding venue. I was lucky enough to meet the owner, Judy, back in December of 2019, as we started to plan our 2021 wedding. We booked almost immediately and met April, the venue manager. I immediately felt at ease as April made time for many calls and questions and helped me with all of the details. I ended up not even needing a planner because April was so helpful. At the time, the exclusive caterer that Senate Garage worked with was Bridge Creek Catering (you can now book others), but I am so glad we worked with BCC. April is very friendly with Jessica - the VP at BCC, which made the process so much easier. When the pandemic hit, these two didn’t miss a beat and helped me move our wedding an entire year and guarantee the space and reservations were intact (at no additional cost). They even helped me book rentals, and Senate Garage saved us tons of money on certain tables and chairs that the space owns. Senate Garage is located in the Stockade District of Kingston. It’s picturesque, unique, and like no other wedding venue I’ve been to. Buses with our guests pulled right up to the side street to let our guests enter a magical garden courtyard, where our ceremony was held at 5:30 pm. Because the weather (though hot) was gorgeous, we were lucky enough to be able to host our cocktail hour outside. Then our guests were guided around the historic Senate House building (perfect for photos) and into this gorgeous space. Huge windows, string lights, low lighting, chic bar, and antique decor, this space was to DIE FOR. I absolutely loved every detail of the day and Senate Garage’s team made it come together beautifully. I even worked with a florist next door, Petalos, and because of everyone’s familiarity with each other, it made the day even more seamless. Thank you, April and team for making our day so magical!

r vibe as a couple very well (industrial brick) and we loved that it used to be a real garage. April who is the Senate Garage manager, did an absolutely incredible job helping us pull our wedding together, especially as the bride I did the majority of the planning without a wedding planner. Everything about our day was absolutely incredible and completely unforgettable. We are still on cloud 9 from our day. I highly recommend the Senate Garage as a wedding venue--professional from start to finish!

gine how it can transform into an event space that brings together old new york 1920s with a still modern energy. Then you meet April. Her professionalism and warmth helped make this venue a dream to work with. After 2+ replans because of COVID - April was responsive, helpful and kind. She proved to be one of the most valuable resources in our wedding planning process. The combination of the Senate Garage aesthetic and layout with Bridgecreek also made for a more seamless planning process. They have it down pat, which was extremely helpful as a couple that's never planned a major event before. The space perfectly fit our 140 guest list. Ambience, food and aesthetic created the perfect scene for our day. We wouldn't change a thing. Don't go wedding factory when you can have such a warm experience w. the Senate Garage.

f last minute changes due to COVID, but April was extremely flexible and helped us immensely to work out all of the kinks along the way! She helped talk us through details of the event that we would not have thought of and worked closely with our wedding coordinator to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The grounds were beautiful and everything was arranged exactly as we envisioned. We cannot thank April and Senate Garage enough and we recommend them without reservation!

ue was beautiful and gave us the candlelit winter wedding we were dreaming of. I loved that they had so much furniture available without a fee and their rates were very reasonable compared to some other venues in the area. I would absolutely recommend The Senate Garage for anyone getting married in Kingston!

ton. It was very difficult having our wedding right after Covid took a bad turn, but April at the Senate Garage was exceptionally helpful, responsive, flexible, professional and thoughtful, thus ensuring that a potentially stressful and uncertain situation remained something fun and safe....We feel like she really went the extra mile for us. Would highly recommend a wedding or other event here!

r wedding 3 times and then ultimately had to cancel it, and April and Judy were incredibly kind and thoughtful. I would 100% hold an event there in the future!

g due to COVID, April at Senate Garage made this as seamless as possible. April is always available for any questions or help that you might need. The venue is BEAUTIFUL inside and outside. We got so many compliments on the amazing space and the gorgeous outdoor grounds. Plus, their partnership with Bridgecreek makes rentals and catering SO easy (and very delicious too). We love Senate Garage and I honestly hope I get to go to a wedding there again in the future!!!

gh it was about 90-120 minutes away from where most of our relatives lived. The team at Senate Garage, especially April, created the look we were hoping for from the circle ceremony, cocktail hour, and then the reception afterwards. Everything was a hit and we can’t thank the owners of Senate Garage enough.

and the Hudson Valley and Senate Garage encompassed everything we wanted without breaking the bank. The space was perfectly sized for our 150 person wedding. The brick walls, modern chandeliers, beautiful bar, and huge windows are gorgeous and make for a great canvas for truly any decor style. April was everything you'd want in a venue coordinator: honest, thorough, and extremely helpful. She went above and beyond during the planning process to make sure we checked off all the boxes. On the day of our wedding, she was like a coordination ninja, shielding us from any little hiccups and looping us in for more major decisions. I can truly say I felt carefree once the wedding was underway because I had complete trust in April and the Senate Garage team. Lastly, Kingston is just the sweetest town you'll ever have the pleasure of seeing. I cannot recommend Senate Garage enough, they helped make our wedding truly a dream.

velvet couch/lounge, the beautiful vintage mirror display behind the large bar, the awesome lighting fixtures, and wall of twinkle lights - it was the perfect backdrop for a really perfect day. We had a wedding with 200 guests and it was the perfect size. We had our cocktail hour on the outdoor grounds which was beautiful. April, from the Senate Garage, and Jessica, from Bridge Creek Catering, were SO helpful in making our day seamless. One thing to note: you need to hire a day-of wedding coordinator separate from Senate Garage. They will provide you with suggestions - I highly recommend Sage Newkirk of Hudson Valley Ceremonies. We couldn’t have done it without her.

e me feel like I was working with all family, all making suggestions to make my wedding the most beautiful day but with my fiancee's and my vision in mind. They were so organized and patient when we weren’t. Having the Senate Garage paired with caterers Bridge Creek made things so much easier but that isn’t just it. Bridge Creek farm to table food was incredible. They accommodated every food restriction (which we had plenty) and wacky requests like making sure The Bride had extra cupcakes. Everything tasted exciting and delicious! They too felt like family! Bonus-The Senate Garage is close by for the bus from NYC and MetroNorth so our guests didn’t have to drive if they didn’t want to. I would gladly give more information on Senate Garage as it was my dream wedding and I wish I could do it all over again..and again!

med about getting married outside in front of an old stone building with beautiful trees and gardens surrounding, and then having the reception inside a modern but warm space. Senate Garage could not have fit that vision any more perfectly. My husband and I planned our wedding from California, but April and Jessica from Bridgecreek were so helpful and responsive that we never had to stress about doing everything from so far away. The most amazing thing about Senate Garage is that even though they do lots of weddings every year, every wedding here looks different because of how beautiful and adaptable the space is. Everything about the space is so special - from the red velvet-curtained lounge, to the beautiful wooden bar, to the warm exposed brick and the modern but soft chandeliers. We knew Senate Garage was perfect for us because it didn’t need any extra decoration - the space speaks for itself - but we could still make it unique (we hung flower installations on two of the white gallery walls, and wrapped vines around some of the columns). We had 150 guests, and the space never felt either overcrowded or empty. It was just perfect. Not to mention - how many people can take their wedding pictures in a record store, or electrocuting each other with 1920s electrical equipment? April is a joy to work with, and she made us feel like she was genuinely excited to be working with us (which was the opposite of how we felt when we met with other venue coordinators in the HV). April answered all my (many) emails within at most a few hours, she helped us handle some last minute logistical hiccups (my fault) with grace, and she even connected my parents with her daughter for babysitting the night before the wedding. Jessica from Bridgecreek will hold your hand throughout the planning process - down to how many glasses and forks to order - so even if you don’t hire a planner (like us), you will never feel lost. We just got our pictures back and we can’t stop looking at them, happily reliving the day and still in awe at how beautiful our wedding at Senate Garage looked. If they have availability on your preferred date (or even your seventh or eighth choice date), book your wedding at Senate Garage. You will not regret it for a second.

om the minute we walked in that this was exactly what we were envisioning. We chose to have our ceremony outside, where the Senate House acted as the prettiest backdrop. April was helpful from the start and was so patient with our million emails/requests. We were able to tour the space multiple times while trying to get ideas for our setup and florals. One of our big dilemmas was how we could separate the cocktail hour from our reception space. We did not want to hold the cocktail hour outside but wanted to keep the reception space a surprise. We were fortunate that the Senate Garage finished installing the track system for permanent curtains right before our wedding date. The sheer curtains were gorgeous! This allowed us to have a true reveal which was exactly what we hoped for!! Thank you Senate Garage for helping to make it a truly memorable day!! Julia & Anthony

as everything we dreamed of and more!!! Working with April and Jess was a true pleasure. April, our contact at Senate Garage, was responsive, extremely knowledgable, and there for me throughout every step of planning. I appreciated her partnership so much along the way. Similarly with Jess, our catering contact, I loved working with her over the last year. She was so accommodating of every request and buttoned up with every little detail. I couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our wedding day to life! The space at Senate Garage is to die for. The exposed brick, industrial lighting, and wide open space inside allowed us to create a romantic, elegant wedding we've always dreamed of having. Outside, the backdrop of Senate House created the most perfect setting for our ceremony. I loved that we could have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside, and reception right inside, so everything was in one spot and flowed together so beautifully. We have received so many compliments on the food served at the wedding. Jess's team did a phenomenal job with every detail, from the ceremony cocktails to the delicious cocktail hour and reception food. We wanted everyone out on the dance floor for as long as possible, and Jess helped us do that by getting salad and dinner served before 8:30PM for us. With a large wedding of 175, this was no easy task, but she made it happen for us! If you're looking for a beautiful, romantic, unique venue for your big day, you will not regret choosing Senate Garage!!

hen you walk into Senate Garage, it is stunning! We knew right away we wanted to get married there. April was amazing and so easy to work with. Both April and Jessica at Bridge Creek Catering went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were always available and very patient with all of our questions. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We cannot recommend Senate Garage enough!

d* to be the place we got married, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning - it has a kind of "finished" industrial elegance that is absolutely breathtaking - but the team is absolutely incredible. April was amazingly helpful through the whole planning process, helping with everything from finding a local dog sitter to helping us deal with the rain on the day (and finding curtain rods to hold up our chuppah indoors when it was too wet to move our beautiful rented one at the last minute). I've never been to a wedding where everything ran so smoothly - despite the rain bringing our ceremony and cocktail hour indoors at the last minute, none of our guests even really noticed that this triggered a huge change of plans. The team quickly brought in our canopy and set up (dry) dinner chairs so that our guests could be seated for the ceremony - the whole thing took under 5 minutes. Despite the slight rain delay, the team from Bridgecreek (Senate Garage's catering partner) was so incredible that they made up all of that time during dinner service. Between them, Senate Garage and Bridgecreek are a dream team for couples who don't plan weddings for a living - they are absolute rockstars for helping with planning, Bridgecreek handles rentals and a substantial amount of the setup, the staff and bartenders are extremely professional and efficient. We have received nothing but compliments on a beautiful wedding that ran like a well-oiled machine - everyone loved the venue, the smoothness, the delicious food, and the amazing bar (we got multiple separate compliments on the great beer selection!). Honestly, April from the Senate Garage and Jessica from Bridgecreek are incredible and we couldn't be more grateful for their help and support. If you're considering a wedding in the Hudson Valley, Kingston is adorable and has a bunch of great cafes and restaurants, but the real draw card is the absolute best wedding venue I've ever encountered. The Senate Garage is a real gem; we could not have chosen a more supportive, beautiful and generally incredible venue for our wedding. Go and see it! You won't regret it (and you will fall in love!) April, thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding so special for us - we always felt like you genuinely cared about making our day the best it could be and you absolutely succeeded!

lace which fit the description of what we wanted for our wedding.  We wanted something both with outdoor and indoor possibilities, something to match our rustic - vintage vibe, and something in a cool town where our guests can explore for the weekend.  We made an appointment to view the space with April, who was extremely helpful and kind from the very beginning. We fell in love with the space immediately - it is stunningly beautiful with exposed brick, gorgeous lighting, nooks and crannies with vintage accents (perfect for photographs!) and so much space.  The outside was adorned with flowers framing the historical buildings on the property.  The town of Kingston is super cool - there are hiking opportunities, great restaurants and bars, beautiful walks downtown on the waterfront, antique shops - exactly what we were hoping for. We booked immediately!  To say that Senate Garage made our dreams come true is an understatement.  April's attention to detail and the way she made everything SO EASY was a godsend, especially since we were planning our own wedding and was learning as we go.  She is a rockstar!  Judy, the owner of the venue, is absolutely lovely and made us feel warm, welcomed and calm leading up to our wedding day.  The day was not only absolutely perfect, but went smoothly because Senate Garage is so organized, so professional, and such a well oiled machine.  Another thing which struck me is how each of the team members truly love, love - which is something that not all venues possess.  Because of this, they create a space for couples to place their personal aesthetic, vision, and statement for THEIR day, which I truly appreciate.  I loved working with them and cannot wait to renew our vows again in this love-filled space! Thank you so much, Senate Garage!

our expectations. April helped us with each step of the planning process, and the entire day went off flawlessly. The building itself is an old garage used during the early 1900s as, well, a garage, but it has been transformed into an impressive, spacious, and well-located event space that is simultaneously modern and reflective of an older era. It is located just next to the Senate House, which is one of the most historic sites in the Hudson Valley (site of the first senate of New York), which made for great photo opportunities during our outdoor cocktail hour. Although catering is handled by Bridge Creek Catering, they are excellently integrated with the venue and therefore all of those details are well-rehearsed and executed without issue. All of the facilities (the bathrooms, bar area, sitting area, etc.) were clean and maintained through the night. Since parking near the venue is somewhat limited, we'd recommend having a plan (such as hired transportation from a nearby hotel where guests are staying) to make sure folks can arrive and depart easily. We'd also recommend looking into nearby bars/restaurants early if you intend to hold an after-party; the selections are somewhat limited in Uptown Kingston, but we were really happy with our experience setting something up with BSP, which is just around the corner.

nd raw venue that felt warm and romantic at the same time - they managed to achieve all of those things! Our wedding vibe was perfectly suited for the exposed bricks, metal chandeliers, warm Edison bulbs, and hanging mirrors above the bar. The girls got ready on site in the cute 'bridal suite' with velvet furniture - we later opened this up for our guests to enjoy. Candles were a must-have for us and SG allowed us to fill the space with them! April and Judy were lovely at all times - it was awesome to see their excitement for us on the day-of, too! We chose to have the ceremony on the outside grounds of the Senate House (just outside SG). It's was so cool to feel the history of the town around us as we said 'I Do'. Something to be mindful of: there are several limitations with what you can and cannot do on this property as it is historical and owned separately. Our wedding at Senate Garage was personal, modern, warm, romantic, and completely magical. Wish we could do it all over again!

ng decor minimal because the venue truly spoke for itself. Our ceremony took place on the Senate House grounds which was equally as beautiful as the venue. April was great to deal with and took care of the necessary documents we needed to have the ceremony take place on the Senate House grounds. (Senate House grounds are considered a state park). I would highly recommend!

me searching venues online, and there is nothing else like Senate Garage in the Hudson Valley. On our first visit, we were just in awe - the space is absolutely beautiful. April was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. After booking, April was helpful with anything and everything we needed. They were very accommodating as we worked to decorate the space with a vision we created ourselves. We were fortunate to be able to come in the day prior to set up as they didn't have anything booked that day, which was incredibly helpful. We also booked the Senate House grounds to host our ceremony outside - an exquisite back drop, which we highly recommend. Our wedding day ran smoothly from start to finish. The venue's location in Kingston is perfect - easily accessible to everything you could need and fantastic destination for out of town guests. We couldn't recommend Senate Garage more! - Lindsay & Nik

eautiful mix of rustic and industrial that suited our style perfectly. And the outdoor space was a gorgeous spot for our ceremony; it is so picturesque! Working with April at the Senate Garage was such a pleasure. She took the time to understand what we wanted for our wedding and was extremely patient. Throughout the night, she checked in on us to make sure we ate and had drinks, which we so appreciated! I never thought planning a wedding would be this fun and easy, but it was thanks to April! Perfect wedding!

oric grounds outside, the venue feels vintage, romantic, and unique beyond words! April and Judy ensured that the event ran smoothly from start to finish. We even got to tour the space multiple times even after booking the venue, just to show our family what an amazing space it is. All of our guests (everyone was from out of town!) were wondering how in the world we found such a beautiful space to hold our celebration! It truly is a Hudson Valley gem and a dream for any couple with a creative vision! Leah & Chris Zimmerman

have a venue that had enough space inside for both the ceremony and reception. Senate Garage was really the perfect venue for us, as it had plenty of space for our guests but also felt intimate and cozy. It is a beautiful and well maintained space that barely needs any additional décor to make it look amazing. We also loved its location in charming uptown Kingston. April was our main contact person throughout our planning process, and it was truly enjoyable working with her. She is highly organized, responsive, and extremely helpful in answering all logistical questions. Since we chose a January wedding, there was a winter storm the night of our wedding. In the days before, April was in regular contact with us regarding the steps they were taking to make sure everything would go smoothly. She talked with the Department of Public Works and the bus company we booked to go over the best routes for our shuttle to and from the hotel. Once it started snowing, they made sure the pathways were shoveled and salted. At the end of the reception, April and Judy personally escorted our guests to the buses to make sure everyone made it safely on the bus. Overall, April & Judy are wonderful and Senate Garage is an amazing place to have a wedding!

utiful, food was good and everything went seamlessly. We recommend the Senate Garage highly!!!!!!

earlier in the day and April did all of the groundwork to determine when it was going to end and what was going to be left. She also was able to arrange another type of setup to ensure that we highlighted the essence of spring in our wedding. The reception was amazing. We thought we had a loud band but the acoustics really held together and it was perfect (Senate Garage has acoustic treatment). The brick walls, windows (original), floor treatments, and lighting make this a very unique and beautiful venue space. The layout is incredibly flexible as well (it really is amazing how much space is in there). All of our guests commented on how beautiful it looked (with the addition of flowers, of course). Wedding planning is a bit stressful and tedious. April is professional, attentive, accommodating, calming, patient and extremely friendly. It was a pleasure working with her. You couldn’t ask for anyone better to work with. Thank you Senate Garage for making our special day our happiest and a day we will never forget! We highly recommend. We would get married again and again there if we could!

lly April—during the whole process, both before the wedding and day-of. We highly recommend getting married at Senate Garage!

ur wedding day. The space is so unique and gorgeous and we had the most carefree and fun day. April is an absolute joy to work with and she was always available to answer any questions or think through how we wanted our day to go. It's a large space that feels intimate at the same time and the acoustics were incredible for our band. We continue to hear from our guests how cool they thought the space was and people really enjoyed being in the heart of Kingston. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Get married here!

to work with. Everyone tells you that the day of your wedding everything falls into place and it truly does. When I walked into our reception, all my worries (and months of self created stress) were whisked away and I was left in awe. If there were things that didn't go as planned, I had no idea. And the FOOD! My favorite compliment from our guests is when they tell us how much they enjoyed our food - definitely not our typical "wedding food". My only advise is enjoy your food tasting! Chances are you will get busy chatting with guests or taking in the moment that you won't have too much the day of. Our experience was a 10 out of 10. I wish we could do the day all over again!

has settled and the pictures have been developed, we are happier than ever with our choice. First and most importantly, the people there are top-notch in terms of professionalism, organization, and kindness. We met the owner Judy and worked mostly with April - both were delightful in every sense. The venue is staggeringly beautiful. Our guests have gotten in touch in the past few weeks and told us how unique, gorgeous, and fun the space is. April worked with us to customize it to our style, and the results were amazing. Bridge Creek Catering, the team that handles Senate Garage weddings, were also outstanding (see their reviews for confirmation) and work extremely well with the Senate Garage team and space. Collectively, they made an A-team that we felt had our backs at every turn. As far as planning, April kept a great balance of staying in touch and keeping things moving while still giving us space to make decisions. She navigated the state park system for our outdoor ceremony onsite (recommend this!), which saved us a lot of time and stress. The Senate Garage also provided us a great packet if local vendors and artists for every aspect of our celebration (shout out to The Sheeley House for accommodations, Silver Arrow Band for music, Chops Grille for the afterparty, Le Canard Enchaine for the rehearsal dinner, All-Transportation Network for shuttles, The Dancing Tulip for flowers, and Jonathan Gies for custom signage and artwork). I can't say enough good things about the Senate Garage space and team. They made our wedding perfect (to us!), and we'd recommend them without hesitation.

ay seamless and even that much more enjoyable. The grounds provided the perfect cocktail reception before the main event. Inside, the charm of the space almost stole the show for our 140 guests. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how fun and unique of the Garage was, and how well the wedding fit! Thanks again to Judy + April!

ure the Senate House grounds and did so much behind the scenes to make sure everything happened as planned. On our wedding weekend, they were able to accommodate us coming in early to get a jump-start on setting up and provided day-of support and coordination. The space they have clearly worked so hard to create looked amazing, and we received many glowing comments from our guests about it, which is a testament to the work they've done. My wife and I are so happy we picked the Senate Garage for our wedding, and we would highly recommend it to any couple!

ey – a huge bonus when planning a wedding out of state. She always made us feel completely at ease, including when it looked like rain might need to move our ceremony inside. She and Judy were also flexible with us when we wanted to host a pre-wedding yoga class in the space. The venue is gorgeous. Inside there are exposed brick walls and beautiful light fixtures that bring a lot of warmth to the raw space that allows you to go in any direction with design. We held our ceremony and cocktail party outside, which was the perfect backdrop to kick off the festivities.
