The Abbey Inn & Spa

here and every single event was beautiful and absolutely flawless. Not only is The Abbey the most STUNNING place with unreal grounds and views of the Hudson, but the entire staff is so accommodating, pure class, and top notch. From Gilbert the general manager, Casey the wedding event coordinator, Matt the food & beverage manager, Tim at concierge, and all the many many other support staff - every single person was so easy to work with, kind, and truly made us feel so supported over the last 2 years of planning and made our weekend run perfectly and so smoothly. And the FOOD. This is not your typical wedding food - our guests cannot stop raving about how incredible the food was all weekend and how amazing the service was (from rehearsal dinner to breakfast the morning after the wedding). We still cannot get over how perfect every single detail of our wedding weekend was and how amazing everyone at The Abbey treated us and our guests. I can’t possibly imagine having our wedding weekend anywhere else, and I can’t wait to continue to visit this special place for many, MANY years to come!

uld say.....we had a BLAST at our own wedding and got to enjoy our guests and food! Thanks to The Abbey Inn and Spa for a memory we will never forget.

he perfect spot to get ready. Our guests could not stop raving about the location and the food. Everything we had was excellent! Cocktail hour was also great- (order the arancini). They did a great job with the dinner service, and the wedding coordinator Casey made sure everything went smoothly and on time. Casey was lovely to work with and very organized. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner and farewell brunch here. We are so thankful the Abbey Inn was a part of our special day! We can’t wait to come back!

not stop raving over how gorgeous it was. It’s the perfect mix of modern & historical elegance. The beautiful weather that day was the icing on the cake. The staff was incredibly accommodating. We had originally booked the venue with the prior contact, Eileen, and then when she retired a few months into planning I was nervous about working with someone new, but Gina stepped in seamlessly and she was there every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. When I found out Gina’s last day there would be a week before my wedding I almost had a heart attack, but she went out of her way to come back and be there on our big day to work the event and make sure everything ran smoothly. It was a huge relief, it blew me away to have such top notch service and honestly I couldn’t have asked for anything better. The rooms at the Inn are luxurious - we fell in love with the bridal suite with the beautiful spacious outdoor deck - and although the couple having their wedding the day after ours already had it booked for our wedding night, the staff allowed us to use the suite the morning of our wedding to get ready, and then they helped us move our belongings to another suite as we headed to the church, so that they could clean it for the next bride to check in. I am so glad we were able to do that, as the photos on the bridal suite terrace came out gorgeous and it gave the ladies plenty of room to spread out while hanging and getting ready! Along with the amazing service, the food was absolutely incredible. We had some picky eaters and everyone was impressed by the variety! From cocktail hour to the full 3 course dinner, everything was delicious. This is not your typical wedding venue mass produced food, everything is farm to table and the way the chef cooks it all is absolutely wonderful. Even the cake, which was done through the Abbey’s preferred bakery, was to die for- and we were able to do tiers of 2 different flavors at no additional cost. We cannot wait to go back for the complimentary night stay on our 1 year wedding anniversary (I don’t know of any other venues that offer that and it’s wonderful). But until then, I know we will be back many times to dine at Apropos! If you are considering booking the Abbey, go for it! You will not be disappointed!

nner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after party, and brunch all at the Abbey in mid-June, and every single one was absolute perfection. Gina was a DREAM to work with -- I felt like we had our own personal wedding planner throughout the entire process. She answered all (and I mean ALL) of our emails, calls, questions, etc. and when I arrived at the Abbey for our wedding weekend I felt totally calm, cool, and collected knowing that Gina was running the show. And of course, there are no words to describe how beautiful and magical this property is both inside and out! Most of our guests stayed at the hotel so we were all able to really take advantage of the property throughout the weekend and every single staff member made us and our family and friends feel special and welcomed. The food was amazing, everything was well organized, coordinated, and beautiful... what more can I say?! I am so grateful we found a place where we could really build an entire weekend, and I am even more grateful that the Abbey helped us to coordinate it all as seamlessly as they did! I can't wait to go back and visit our special place for many many years to come!

oritizing my happiness on comfort. On the day of, she was super calm, collected and made sure that everything ran smoothly in the background. She even helped set up the tables and made sure that everything looked amazing. Joe, the F&B director was also wonderful. It turned out that there was some miscommunication with the bartenders and they wrapped up earlier than we had planned, so Joe himself went behind the bar to make sure that we and all our guests had drinks. He really wanted to make sure that we had a good time. The venue itself is SO beautiful. I highly recommend that everybody book your event at the abbey inn!!

stions and finding solutions for anything we brought up. Both of the other managers the "Joes" were amazing on the time leading up and day of making sure everything ran smoothly. Our guests throughout the night and afterwards raved of how great the food was and how beautiful the venue was. The natural lighting throughout the venue and for the ceremony made it a spectacular view throughout! I would highly encourage booking here and allowing the abbey to lead you through a smooth wedding!

an our perfect wedding day. This place is beautiful and we couldn't have had a better place to get married!

e and out made for a fabulous weekend celebration. We highly recommend The Abbey Inn and Spa!

staff seamlessly transitioned our ceremony indoors to the gorgeous Cornerstone room and we wouldn't have had any other way. This change in plans worked out better than we ever could have expected. Gina Bonacci, the wedding coordinator at the Abbey whom we had the pleasure of planning our special day with, was the most calming presence and gave the most attention to detail in every aspect of our day. The Abbey is one of the most gorgeous places we've ever had the pleasure of seeing, and we have so much love and gratitude for being able to have our wedding there. We truly cannot put into words what a special day it was but we feel truly blessed that we were able to start our forever at the Abbey Inn & Spa.

od was truly fabulous, and everything ran like a top from the ceremony in the chapel on our very rainy day to the cocktail hour and reception ! Gina the director of catering was very attentive to all the details from start to finish making sure that all was well for our bride,groom, bridal party, vendors and our families too . I can’t say enough about our experience from the accommodations, the wait staff , bartenders, and housekeeping staff too ! Bravo to Gina & The Abbey Inn and Spa for helping us create a beautiful day and wonderful memories to cherish !

that someone was keeping us all on track. The Abbey is an absolutely beautiful location for a wedding, and all of our guests had an amazing time!

tion and is an excellent option for West Point cadets or couples looking to escape the city for a classy and upscale event. The Director of Catering, Weddings, and Events is Gina Bonacci and she is awesome! I had a fairytale wedding experience and I cannot recommend The Abbey enough.

istorical relevance of the building. From the onset, Gina Bonacci was highly responsive and accommodating to our questions and requests. Her attention to detail and thoroughness in planning out the day and surrounding timeline was highly appreciated. She was very mindful of planning objectives and tracking everything of any significance. Negotiations and contracts were easy to navigate and simple to understand. On the day prior to and of our Wedding, Gina served as the coordinator, timekeeper and utility player. She was responsive and on top of everything we needed. The entire staff was a pleasure to work with and accommodating. Everyone from the hotel desk staff and cleaning team, servers, bartenders, valet and line cooks were all professional and courteous. Anna and I could not recommend the venue or the team there more. The day was beautiful, simple and elegant just as we were looking for. The rooms were clean and well maintained and the food and drinks were fresh, tasty and well prepared. We look forward to anniversary meals, spa days and future events at the venue.

Expy. It is a very classical setting being that the building used to be an old Monastery, and the reception hall is in an old church. This helps to create a very dramatic atmosphere, which will be sure to wow both yourselves and your guests. The high ceilings only add to this classical/dramatic feeling, as well as the high arching windows. We had our sweetheart table at the front of the hall, so it was as if a king and queen were having a royal dinner. Being able to enjoy a delicious dinner and take a minute to see the joy and excitement on your guests' faces is an awesome thing to be able to see, which is possible being slightly elevated at the head of the hall where we were. The food was PHENOMENAL AND DELICIOUS. The chef here really knows their stuff, as all the dishes from salads to the short rib were amazing. Only regret I have is missing part of the cocktail hour and not having the ability to try all of the food available. Gina (Wedding Coordinator/Director at the Abbey) was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in guiding us through the process of setting everything up in the months leading up to the event. She is incredibly experienced and it shows. Any questions, emails, or calls were answered right away. She was also incredibly helpful in setting up the welcome table and other locations around the venue for our wedding, and remembered what everything was for (I had arrived with about 4-5 boxes and bags of random goods the afternoon prior to check in and such). She is an incredible coordinator and an even better person. She even gave us a list of vendors to get lunch from since we wanted to be able to feed our bridal party members between the ceremony and reception. The rest of the crew/team at the Abbey were incredible as well. The wait staff was attentive to guests, food was served quick and efficiently, bartenders were great with pouring drinks and keeping the good times flowing as well. Front desk personnel were attentive in checking guests in and out and answering questions that they had. The bridal suite was amazing, as it comes with a large bathroom, bedroom/living room area, and a large covered patio. We actually got lucky in that no one had the other suite, so we were upgraded to essentially a mega suite to have an extra bedroom. This worked out as our favorite soccer club had a championship final on our wedding day (in between ceremony & reception), and were able to turn one of the beds into a couch for a viewing party of 10-15 guests in the suite! Also, for couples that get married there, you get a free night one year later to celebrate your anniversary! We are looking forward to the night already, as the Abbey was that amazing, and we can't wait to stay there again!

pful. They even did the entire wedding gluten-free. We loved everything about The Abbey. - We had the ceremony in the Cornerstone room, photos outdoors overlooking the Hudson, cocktail hour on The Bluff, the reception in the Highlands ballroom, the rehearsal dinner in the Grand Terrace, and the farewell breakfast in the Hudson room. The couple stayed in the bridal suite, which included a separate sitting room and a large balcony. All rooms were beautiful. Everyone especially loved the Cornerstone room, which is hand-painted with Latin words and saints. The Highlands ballroom looks like a castle. - The entire wedding was gluten-free, which is difficult, but they were very accommodating to our needs. They also were careful of other special diets. - We also had a handicap-accessible room for grandparents, and it was the most beautiful handicap room anyone had ever seen. It had a large balcony with table and rocking chairs, walk-in shower, and low bed. - The people there were very helpful. At breakfast, a waitress told our guests the history of the hand-painted cornerstone room. It was painted by a nun, who continued painting until she was 89. The room was restored several years ago, and restored by hand. A man who helped set up the ballroom told us the history of the hotel and the ballroom also. It was built in 1872 and was an abbey for 100 years. It was meticulously restored from about 2017-2020, and opened in March 2020 - right at the start of covid. Everyone seems to really love the place. The wedding & events specialist worked closely with us, and was by our side throughout the weekend. - Even if you are just going there for a weekend, lunch, or dinner, this is a fabulous place. It even has a happy hour with burgers, ricotta toast, and half-price drinks. It is such a beautiful place, it truly looks like a European castle, or Abbey. It is a gem in New York!!!

of variety. Everyone commented how delicious the food was. There were plenty of tables set up for the guests comfort, under the tent and around the grounds. The staff was attentive and accommodating. It was a beautiful afternoon, we couldn't have asked for more.

f getting this thing of the ground and were so looking forward to our tasting. We had the opportunity to speak with Executive Chef Jared at the tasting and you can tell how passionate he is about his craft. We had a great experience and his food is out of this world and from The Abbeys Garden! Our celebration as a whole will be well worth the 2 year wait!

ve the wedding of our dreams no matter the circumstances. Our wedding turned out to be an absolutely perfect day. The food was delicious and plentiful. Everyone we know has commented on how this was not typical “wedding food” it was incredible. We also didn’t have to worry about a thing. Eileen and the team took care of everything, when I walked into the ballroom that night I couldn’t believe how perfect it was. We will be reliving this day over and over again!

zed by the gorgeous Hudson River/ mountain views, but you are immersed in pure magic! When we were planning our wedding, we wanted our guests to feel like they were transported to the Amalfi Coast and The Abbey did just that. It is not like any other venue in the Hudson Valley - it is a little bit of old with a modern spin. The ballroom is stunning, the food is incredible, but the most important piece to The Abbey is their wonderful staff. Not only was Eileen and her team extremely accommodating (we have tons of food allergies, etc.), they truly go out of their way to ensure your day is special. Eileen is attentive, professional, and a joy to work with. She will ensure that everything you want is there and that everything is executed perfectly. We are so happy that we had our June wedding at The Abbey. Like our guests keep saying - it was THE BEST wedding ever!
