The Garrison

ely amazing! She was quick to respond to emails, had really good suggestions, and made our big day run seamlessly. The staff was attentive and professional. We had Richard as our Captain and Karen as our bridal assistant. I can't express enough how amazing they all were the day of our wedding. Karen made sure that we had everything we could have wanted (food, drinks, space, help with pictures, etc) and I don't know what we would have done without her! We literally had not one thing go wrong. It was incredible. I highly recommend The Garrison as a wedding venue. The setting is beyond compare, the food was incredible, and the staff was amazing. What more could you ask for?

the pleasure of working with Bridget, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the beginning when we booked in 2020, Bridget was very responsive, proactive, helpful, patient with my many questions, and incredibly organized. Her attention to detail really kept us on track with various tasks leading up to the big day. She is experienced, has great suggestions, provides excellent vendor recommendations, and knows all the right things to do to make a wedding run smoothly. I felt totally at ease knowing that Bridget and her team had everything under control on the day-of, which helped us relax and enjoy our big day. Bridget was incredible with every element of the planning process through the day-of coordination and logistics. She is also genuinely kind and very easy to work with. I can’t recommend Bridget and the Garrison enough!!

ions were answered immediately. Everything was handled so beautifully I could not ask for more! Thank you to Bridget and the entire Garrison staff!

easy and stress-free. Everyone was so professional, personable, and made us feel confident that our big day would run smoothly. I'd recommend The Garrison to anyone and am so happy my husband and I chose to get married there.

amless. I could not have picked a more perfect venue or person to help me with my dream wedding. The Garrison is the most beautiful location with the most beautiful views. My wedding pictures came out AMAZING - in addition to the most delicious food I've ever had at a wedding venue. The staff was professional, helpful, kind and words cannot express how elated I am that we chose The Garrison as our wedding venue. It was the most perfect day from start to finish and I cannot thank Annie and her staff enough for putting it all together for me. If I could choose more starts I would - Thank you Annie, Richard, Karen and the rest of the staff at the Garrison for my picture perfect day!!!!

st!  We worked with Annie and it was truly a pleasure!  She was hands down the best.  Always available via email or a quick call, a great resource, friendly, warm, and a complete and total expert at what she does.  She maintains an air of calmness and having everything under control which was great for a stressed out bride like myself lol  Its been a few weeks since our wedding and we are still talking about how perfect everything was.  We have gotten so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue and the views were, how delicious the food was, and how amazing the staff all were.  We knew our guests would love it as much as we did.  We got married on a Sunday and had our rehearsal dinner in the Valley Restaurant Saturday night (thank you to James Brown for helping us coordinate that!)  We had booked all 7 rooms Saturday night and Sunday night and were so happy we did that!  It was so nice being on location the night before and the night of the wedding.  We loved that was an option and the rooms are also very reasonable- especially in January.  There is a bridal suite for getting ready which was lovely and was stocked with complimentary champagne and orange juice. It was just an all around perfect day and amazing experience from planning to the day of.  We could not be happier.  We plan on going back at least once a year to eat in the Valley restaurant!

paid a small admin fee to swap dates. We held our mini-mony on site on our original date and our huge reception in October 2021. Annie was warm, always remembered personal details about us as a couple, super communicative, incredibly professional and worked flawlessly with all of our vendors. Our day went perfectly, we were able to incorporate all kinds of personal decor touches, personalize the incredibly delicious menu, and feel like we had a little slice of normal amid the panic of the last couple of years. We will always treasure our two weddings with The Garrison, and our guests are still telling us how much fun they had several months later. Honestly, I wish we could have another wedding simply to work with her. In fact, we can't wait until one of our friends chooses to have a wedding there so we can attend one.

th Annie, who was with us from day one, all the way to the day after. Amanda was very sweet and a tentative to my needs. I highly recommend the venue and all of their staff. We plan to visit the venue and the restaurant at once a year.

made sure everything was as we wanted, was helpful with suggestions, and kept the wedding day running smoothly. Everything went perfectly, and the food is top tier. Definitely don’t want to miss cocktail hour at this venue. We had a bunch of guests tell us this was the best wedding they’d been to and that they loved the venue.

o so delicious! Our guests keep raving about the food and of course, you can’t beat the gorgeous views! Some of my family also stayed in the Inn rooms upstairs which were also wonderful for a rustic upstate getaway. My grandma said she could’ve stayed there for a week. Book the Garrison, you won’t regret it!

e beginning, Annie helped us with every decision. She was extremely helpful in recommending vendors to use and I was happy with all her recommendations including our florist, Hudson Valley Floral, Bridal by Alexandria team for hair and makeup and our photographer Tim Ryan Smith. Annie was always quick to respond and was very helpful in helping us find a new date when we had to postpone. So many people said this was the best wedding they ever had been to (people who had gone to many weddings throughout the years). We also received so many compliments on the food. The wagyu beef was highly praised by my uncle, butcher of Lobel’s! Although the weather was less than ideal for my wedding day, I knew it would be equally as beautiful if we had to do the wedding ceremony inside. Luckily the weather cleared for the time we did the ceremony with some dramatic clouds as a backdrop. I highly recommend using the Garrison for your wedding! You won’t regret it!

ation! She was incredibly responsive and did everything she could to help us! Ou rGarrison wedding was truly everything that we had imagined it could be, with the stunningly beautiful scenery and incredible food. Our guests had an amazing time and this has much to do with Annie's organized and competent nature. She was on top of everything and the day went incredibly smoothly! I cannot say enough good things about our experience at The Garrison and working with Annie as our right hand!

ile I understand the stress revolved around this on both the couple's end and the venue's end, we received a lot of attitude from management for asking simple questions about what to expect the day of the wedding. The staff was also a little aggressive with "mask monitoring" as it made my guests uncomfortable, but I understand there were rules that needed to be followed. My feedback would be that the staff could be a little kinder to the couple, the guests, and the vendors, but they all worked very hard to make our day happen and that was appreciated.

ing the pandemic was very stressful, but Annie was always responsive and did her best to keep us updated about current restrictions. We had perfect weather on our wedding day and amazing photos ops on the property. We did have a few small complaints about dinner service, and there was a security guard enforcing Covid restrictions which made some guests feel uncomfortable, but other than that we were very happy with our wedding at The Garrison. I highly recommend this venue for couples who want a more intimate setting with great food and beautiful scenery!

ally states that it would (and as confirmed by mine and my Fiancé’s attorney) as a result of the pandemic. Below are the details of our experience: My Fiancé and I spent two years planning our June 2020 wedding at The Garrison; we loved the beautiful view of the river and the beauty and modern simplicity of the Hudson Room and the River Room. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, so we decided to postpone to October 2020 so that we could still have our dream wedding at The Garrison. In mid-July we spoke to our event coordinator who was optimistic about our October date. She thought that the restrictions would lift after phase 4 and that we would be able to have our wedding as planned although with modifications (social distancing, masks, adjusted table arrangements, etc.). We were told that even if the guidelines change to 50% capacity, they would be able to accommodate our 150 guests. A few weeks later (early August), we went to The Garrison to meet with our Event Coordinator and discuss ceremony, menus, table linens, etc. At the meeting, she informed us that new NYS guidelines had been released and that capacity would be at 50 guests, our guests would not be able to stand for the cocktail hour, no dancing was permitted and that off duty police officers were being hired as security to ensure guests were following the guidelines. Let me be very clear in stating that we in no way blame The Garrison for the guidelines and restrictions set by NYS. However, this situation and the communication of our event could have been handled much better. It was extremely disappointing and emotional for the Garrison to be so optimistic one week and then turn around two weeks later and hear that we essentially cannot have our wedding. As of a result of the guidelines and restrictions, my Fiancé and I decided to have a smaller outdoor wedding in Connecticut, where the guidelines would allow for this kind of event to take place. The venue told us they would not be able to perform the event as proposed in the contract and, in the contract, it states that if this is the case, they would refund the money we already paid. When we contacted The Garrison in order to receive a refund as it clearly states in the contract, they told us that they would not be able to provide us a refund. They are only able to provide us with a letter to provide our wedding insurance. The Garrison did not require Wedding Cancellation Insurance to enter into the contract, it was only recommended. Since we moved our wedding to CT, we needed to transfer our wedding insurance to cover that event and could not submit a claim for the deposits made to The Garrison. Because they would not honor our signed contract, The Garrison forced us to choose between forgoing tens of thousands of dollars in deposits with them or going forward with an uninsured event elsewhere in the middle of a pandemic. The Garrison has put us in an impossible position and clearly do not care about the stress and horrible experience that we went through in the last 6 months. We were owed a refund of the deposits that we made to The Garrison and the blatant disregard for a signed contract and for our negative experience, we are feel it is necessary to write this review.

od and service! The Garrison staff is excellent!

ication with Annie our coordinator, we were able to pull it off and hold a beautiful wedding! Of course we are not living in normal times, so having to enforce social distancing rules, setting up live streaming, and wearing masks was all quite a new experience, but we honestly wouldn’t have done anything differently. The venue was accommodating with having to reduce our guest count and did everything they could so that we can have the wedding we originally wanted. All our guests raved about how absolutely beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was as well! Everyone had a great time and said it was definitely the wedding of the year. We are so grateful for Annie and her team at The Garrison, we understand it must have been stressful for them to have to make so many changes but they really did an awesome job. We highly recommend getting married here, because even during a pandemic getting married here was a dream.

n sizes. The Garrison was legally obligated to close and refused to acknowledge they weren't able to hold our wedding. Although they weren't able to live up to the contract and host our wedding they refused to give our money back. They dragged their feet up until 2 weeks before the wedding when they FINALLY said they weren't able to host it. Despite the fact that they said they wouldn't host, they didn't give us our money back. They offered three alternate dates to host the wedding (2 this summer, which obviously wouldn't work) and 1 over a holiday weekend. The manager was rude and made the whole situation terrible. We walked away and got married somewhere else. The venue looks nice, but they don't treat people well.

re rest of the staff were fantastic too! All of our guests commented on the delicious food and the beautiful view of the mountains/Hudson River. The entire day went perfectly. We recommend the garrison 100% and cannot thank them enough!!

sional, and prompt. She answered all of our questions with expert knowledge and helped us make informed decisions. On our actual wedding day, we couldn't have asked for anything more! Annie was calm and collected and kept things running smoothly. The staff at the Garrison was professional and made our guests feel welcome. The food was also excellent from cocktail hour through dinner. The Garrison gave us our dream wedding and we couldn't be happier with our choice! Highly recommend!

ere for a view.

d she was an absolute dream. Calm, Warm, Smart, and helpful at every step of the way. Her and her staff went so above and beyond to make our day as seamless as possible. We were really blown away at how on top of their game everyone was. Another A+ goes to the food. Although they don't do any tastings ahead of time, we only heard rave reviews, and it did not disappoint. We went with the Braised Short Rib and the Diver Scallops and it was one of the better meals we've had in a very long time. Overall, we can't recommend The Garrison enough for your wedding.

asy the entire time, this was especially important to me since I was planning the wedding from out of state. She was super organized, on top of things and very helpful. She gave me a ton of recommendations, from vendors to rehearsal dinner venues and everything in between. On the day of, everything went PERFECTLY. Bridget & her assistant allowed me to be totally worry-free. They made sure me and my groom were fed, kept warm and had time with all of our guests. She kept all of our vendors on schedule and everything went on without a hitch. I'm super thankful I chose the Garrison. It was a picture perfect night to remember!

y thing that was A+ about our wedding (the scenery, the food, the list of vendors we worked with, the small touches) came from our decision to book The Garrison. The staff absolutely does not mess around. They will anticipate every need you didn't know you had, and every question you didn't know to ask. We worked exclusively with vendors from their "preferred" list which was an excellent call - we heard time and time again that the Garrison staff are very intentional about who they put on their list, and it shows. The vendors are so accustomed to working with The Garrison that it eliminates a ton of logistical work that other couples need to put in to ensure the wedding runs smoothly. We got extremely lucky with beautiful weather, but even if we hadn't (with rain, snow, or extreme temperatures) The Garrison still would have been the perfect site because their indoor ceremony option, which has floor to ceiling windows, still would have been breathtaking. Bridget and the rest of the staff were an absolute dream and I am so grateful we chose this venue. Truly the best day of our lives.

e it even more special that the bride’s parents were married at the Garrison 30 years ago. Annie made the whole process with the Garrison so smooth - we sat down for our organizing meetings in advance of the wedding to sort out all the little details of the day, and kept in communication via email throughout the planning. No matter how stressed we were about other wedding planning, we knew we didn’t need to worry about anything that The Garrison was in charge of. Annie made sure everything went exactly as planned for the day of, and we really had the most wonderful, memorable day. All of the tables, place-settings and decor were flawless, and our guests raved about all of the cocktail hour and reception food & cocktails. We were so glad that we got to take home the rest of our filet mignons to finish, and we devoured every bite! Our friends and family loved the incredible view of the Hudson, and the sunset we were lucky enough to have. We hope we get invited to someone else’s Garrison wedding, so that we can enjoy it all over again. It was such a special experience, and we can’t wait to come back next year to the restaurant for our anniversary!

ie was our coordinator, and we can't say enough wonderful things about her. It is so easy to see how much she loves her job and how much pride she takes in ensuring the success of the day. Throughout the planning process, she was so responsive, flexible, and helpful as we made various decisions. We would recommend The Garrison and Annie to anyone looking for the most fantastic wedding!

ridget Bell, our wedding coordinator, was amazing and helped us to get through all of the planning beforehand and day of. She was super responsive and helpful. We got married at the end of April, and it ended up being extremely windy with intermittent rains and the venue worked with us to have the ceremony slightly early so we could be outside. It was so beautiful and out pictures came out amazing. All staff were very attentive day of. They also lit a fire pit outside for us without us asking. They took over day of and made it super stress free so we were able to enjoy it rather than be worried about details. I can not say enough good things about The Garrison.

ct. The venue is gorgeous and the views are breathtaking. The food was amazing and Bridget and staff made sure my husband and I were able to try every appetizer from cocktail hour! We couldn't be happier with our choice and owe a huge part of our amazing day to The Garrison and staff!

er been to, hands-down. Thank you!

cares about her work and creating an individual experience. The wedding was perfect and everything went according to plan! Having Annie and her assistants day of to help was so comforting. The food was amazing. The outside ceremony was perfect. The inside party was a blast. Thank you for all your help and love. We will be back to visit!

backs from the moment we met to the big day. Her and her staff knocked everything out of the park and almost every guest came up to us to tell us how magical the venue and service was. She even helped go above and beyond in adding flowers to the arch with the extra flowers that we had!! Our wedding was sheer perfection because of The Garrison and it was the best decision we ever made. We feel beyond grateful that we made the choice to have our wedding at The Garrison. The day will never be forgotten and it houses the best memories of our lives. Forever grateful for Jane and The Garrison team! We love you guys <3

re lucky enough to work with Bridget Bell, who helped us every step of the way. She made sure we were able to relax and enjoy the day. Everything was planned perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding! Highly recommend for winter weddings! The snow covered mountains and Hudson River views were absolutely breath taking.

ng and exceeded our expectations. The food was outstanding and plentiful and everyone was raving about it.

ized so my husband and our families could enjoy the day. Having a “day of planner” and bridal attendant included in the package was a great added value. Bridget was our planner and she was amazing — on top of everything but also calm and supportive. My husband and I stayed over at the Inn which was cozy and peaceful retreat. Highly recommend The Garrison for your wedding.

od I’ve ever had, everyone raved about the cocktail hour bbq station and steak and chicken. Everyone at the Garrison were awesome, I would have my wedding here over and over again if I could repeat my wedding day. Garrison made our wedding the most incredible and most breathtaking day! Magical all around! Have your wedding here you won’t regret it!

us from the very beginning. She anticipated issues that I wouldn't have thought of myself, and was there as our "day of coordinator," so I felt confident that things would run smoothly, which they did. Regardless of the season, you won't regret the venue, and you'll particularly love the views. The food and staff are also wonderful and even though they do tons of weddings a year, they try to make each one special because they understand that this is this particular couple's most important day. The entire staff was incredibly warm, helpful and efficient. The food was amazing-honestly anything you choose from the menu is going to be a hit-and the bridal suite, which was recently renovated, has these great salon chairs facing a cool vanity wall where the bridal party can get ready. Our first look was outside on the gorgeous grounds (they give you a golf cart so you and your photographer can go around to any of the beautiful spots on the golf course to get that perfect shot) but unfortunately after 10 minutes I was far too cold to do any more outside shots. But the few we got outside were amazing. The wind was strong but with that backdrop it made it even more dramatic. With the clouds rolling in over the big blue and purple mountains and the wind whipping my dress, it had a very Wuthering Heights Feel. I think my favorite part of my wedding at The Garrison was right after the ceremony, where Bridget ushered my husband and me back up to the bridal suite where we had 10 minutes to decompress after all the wedding madness and jitters, and could really soak in all that had just happened. They had set out champagne and appetizers so we could just relax for a moment before returning to the whirlwind day. Overall, it was perfect and I owe a lot of that to The Garrison in general, and Bridget and her incredible staff in particular. Thank you again, staff at The Garrison. You'll be one of my favorite memories for the next many years!

informative. She made the entire process easy and as stress-free as possible. On our wedding day, Bridget and the team at The Garrison went above and beyond in making sure the room was set and everything was ready to go. She also encouraged me to make the call to have our ceremony outside despite somewhat chilly temperatures because she knew we wanted to. I am so grateful she did! The space at The Garrison is absolutely breathtaking. Every room is gorgeous. The food was delicious--we had so many guests raving about it. Some were surprised when dinner came because the cocktail hour was so filling! The value was phenomenal. All of the waiters and staff at The Garrison were also outstanding. As we were planning our wedding, every other vendor we worked with had such great things to say about The Garrison and they were totally right. We were in the best hands during our wedding planning process and the day of. We had multiple guests who work in the wedding industry tell us it was the best wedding they have been to. Bridget and everyone at The Garrison made sure we had our dream day and we are forever grateful. If you are looking to get married in the Hudson Valley, choose The Garrison!

this far and you haven't gone to their website or social media to look at the images on social media, then look now because the view is incredible! Since The Garrison only hosts one wedding at a time, you also have access to the outside area. We had a s'mores bar and also a ice cream stand out there. It was so much fun and so unique! SERVICE: One word- OUTSTANDING! Annie and her team thought of every detail and they went out of their way to accommodate our requests for personalization. Our guests absolutely loved how were served their main course. A member of the staff stood behind each seat so that they could serve the entire table simultaneously. FOOD: The food was unbelievable, especially the Wagyu Steak. We received so many compliments on the food, as the guests loved the cocktail hour as well as the main course. The BBQ station was a big hit and our favorite Hors D'oeuvres were the Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Brioche; House Made Potato Chips with Bleu Cheese Dip; Scallop Ceviche; and the Sushi Rolls. If you're thinking about booking The Garrison, just do it. You won't be disappointed.

est of the staff was great as well, our guests were blown away by not only the breathtaking view but also the quality of the food. Our guests left with only positive reviews. We highly recommend this venue, you will not regret it. We are hoping someone we know has a wedding so we can go back. We also intend to visit every year for our anniversary.

have control. However, after meeting Annie, we knew we were in trusted hands. I’ve never received so many compliments on our day. Even our pastor said that the ceremony was the most well run he’s been a part of. Annie is seriously the absolute best and would book the Garrison in a heart beat! The food is also so delicious!! We didn’t have any doubts even though we couldn’t have a tasting since we read so many raving reviews. All the weddings I’ve been to, only cocktail hour food is decent. But the dinner itself was the best I’ve had at a wedding- so happy to say it was mine! Thank you Annie and the rest of the staff!! It was seriously the absolute best day of my life.

tor. She spent quality time with us throughout the planning process to ensure that our vision would come to life. She was a pleasure to work with and coordinated with our vendors for a stress- free wedding day. Bridget answered all of our emails promptly, gave us great advice, and was very easy going. Her professionalism and ability to get things done were second to none. We had the best time of our lives and Bridget was a big part in making it a memorable day. The venue is approx. 1.5hr drive from the city/ major airports, which our guests found easy to access. There were enough parking spots for our guests who drove. The major hotels (in Fishkill) are about 15min drive/ bus/ shuttle away. The venue held 125 guests, a 9-piece band with 2 sound technicians, and a photobooth with more than enough room to spare. The wedding package we chose was competitive to other venues we looked at. We chose to hold our ceremony indoors and timed it so that the sun would set as we said our vows. It made for awesome pictures. The transition from ceremony to cocktail hour (held in the same room) was smooth. After the cocktail hour, we liked that the guests simply had to walk a few steps to the reception hall. Guests could not stop complementing on the cocktail hour food as well as reception dinner- many said that they had the “best wedding food ever”. We also had a fire pit on the patio for a s’mores bar, which was a big hit for both children and adults. We would highly recommend this venue and Bridget Bell.

e for style and we had 100% trust in him that if anything went wrong, he would handle it. About 6 months after we booked, I had a few questions so I called and was told he wasn't in. My call was directed to someone else. I then had a follow-up question so I emailed him. The GM emailed me a response a few days later. Everyone was acting weird and just said todd isn't in. They had several opportunities after that to let us know todd had been replaced but they did not. We ended up just showing up one day and letting them know "hey, we know todd no longer works here. Please put us in touch with our new wedding coordinator." Not really our style, but we had a wedding to plan. I really lost some respect for the manager and the venue with their poor customer service at this point. I felt someone could have reached out (even our new wedding coordinator). When we were put in touch with our new coordinator, she did not suggest a meeting and did not seem concerned, but we pushed for one to give her a sense of what we were looking for and some things we had discussed with Todd. Everything was fine after that up to our wedding day. It rained the day of our wedding which wasn't great, but were ok with it because of the beautiful cocktail room they have that they also use for indoor ceremonies. We had heard how easy and quick it was to flip the room from ceremony to cocktail from our new coordinator several times so we were not stressed about it. As I was getting dressed, our coordinator stopped by to say there were going to be some problems flipping the room and if I minded having the ceremony in the reception room. I said ok. It didn't seem like I had much of a choice but in hindsight I really should have pushed or gone downstairs to look. Well, they moved all the already set tables to two sides of the room and put up large barricades with white sheets covering them. My "aisle" was obstructed by a pole so my parents and I had to do turn when walking down and there's a radiator in the back of all of my ceremony photos! Maybe we ordered too much food for cocktail hour and this is why we had to do it this way? We had the minimum amount of guests (150) for a Saturday wedding and we paid close to $200/person and this was never even discussed as an option. I would hope that with that comes service, attention to detail and some very basic style sense. This is by far my biggest gripe. My other issue is not serving coffee to our guests tableside. We opted for the speciality coffee bar for specialty coffees but regular, tableside coffee still comes with our package. I was told that many of our guests must have declined the offer and opted for the coffee bar since no one was served at their tables. That unfortunately was not true as none of our guests (including ourselves) were never even offered coffee! The coffee bar ended up breaking at one point and a long line formed in the next room. The garrison did comp us about half the cost for the coffee bar upgrade, but overall it was not worth it. Unfortunately these items were not just little things. They were big ticket items that our guests noticed and that we weren't happy with. I wish we had our own coordinator arranging things and looking out for us the day of.

geous views, then The Garrison is for you. Annie and her staff took care of every single detail flawlessly, from touring the venue to the last moment of our wedding celebration. Our guests were floored with everything The Garrison had to offer, and had nothing but wonderful things to stay about the food, the staff, the grounds, and the entire experience. I could not recommend The Garrison more highly. Just one note: if you are expecting a wedding tasting, The Garrison does not offer as their food is fresh & seasonal and frankly, the chef knows what he's doing. This was something I initially was concerned by (because I am Type-A, getting married or not), but just have a meal at the adjoining restaurant and you will have a good idea of what to expect. Do yourself a favor and use the recommended vendors - everyone was awesome! Thank you, Annie and The Garrison, for making our wedding day everything we could have dreamed of and more.

e night went flawlessly. We can’t say enough great things about our experience here. We absolutely would recommend having your wedding at The Garrison!

s always readily available to answer questions (no matter how silly/small) and offer advice. She knows the venue inside and out and was able to make every single one of our ideas work. The day before the wedding, we dropped off our boxes and boxes of decorations, favors, photos, etc... and I was legitimately blown away when I walked downstairs the next afternoon to see how everything was put together - it honestly looked better than I had pictured it in my head. I completely trusted Annie and her staff and am so glad I did - they did not disappoint AT ALL. I cannot recommend this venue and Annie enough - my family/bridal party is still talking about how on top of everything she was - there wasn't one hiccup or one moment where I was at all worried/concerned about anything other than the fact that I was getting married all day. If you are considering the venue, absolutely book it - you will not regret it.

easy and fun. We highly recommend this venue for anyone's big day

ur ceremony under the gazebo, but even if it rained the floor to ceiling windows in all the event rooms would have let in enough natural light we would have felt we were outside anyway. Aside from the breathtaking venue, the service was also phenomenal! Bridget was the absolute best to work with - any time I had a weird/small question she was also quick to get back to me and made the planning a breeze. When the big day came she ensured the day went smoothly, it was everything we could have hoped for. Also, the food. Every bite was so, so delicious. Every details was exactly as I could have imagined for our wedding. For anyone considering The Garrison, DO IT, you will not regret it for a second!

us, the staff was inviting and welcoming to everyone, and the venue was absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better location and venue. People are still raving about The Garrison!

our vision to life. Our guests could not stop raving about the staff, the food and the amazing views (we also had the most gorgeous sunset over the valley we have ever seen. I HIGHLY recommend this venue!

he venue itself worked perfectly with the "rustic chic/simple elegance" theme we were going for and the view was absolutely gorgeous. We were fortunate to have great weather and got to do our ceremony outside. All of our guests kept commenting on what a beautiful venue we picked and on the amazing view. Day of, the event staff (from Annie, to our bridal attendant, kitchen, bartenders and the wait staff) ensured everything ran smoothly. It truly was a perfect night and we are so happy we picked the Garrison. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great venue!

had for our wedding day, but they came to the table with ideas and suggestions on how to make it even better. We also couldn't have asked for a friendlier and more attentive staff. The food was delicious, the service unparalleled, and the beauty of the venue speaks for itself. We could not say enough about the Garrison and the the people who make the venue so amazing!

ned. The shower was graded a 10 out of 10 by the guests and is now one of the sweetest memories of 2018. A exquisite venue with phenomenal staff/highest of positive recommendations. Cheers, Anne M.

was "the one" and every day leading up until our wedding I could not wait to get married there. The ballroom has floor to ceiling views of the Hudson Valley, so we really didn't even have to spend a whole lot of money on decor. The views are the focal point and our guests were stunned by the beauty of the endless mountains. I would like to make a very special shout-out to our onsite venue manager, Annie Rozycki. From the moment we signed with The Garrison, Annie was so on point with everything. She checked in with us frequently and made the entire process feel so easy going. Working with her, I never felt worried about anything. Any question (and believe me I had A LOT of questions constantly) she had an answer. She is the most thorough and meticulous "boss lady" I have ever met and I just knew we were in good hands. On our wedding day, Annie was once again on point, running around and making sure absolutely everything from top to bottom was running smoothly. I felt so at ease, and it was just so nice to relax knowing that she had everything under control so that I wouldn't have to worry. It literally felt like we had a day-of wedding coordinator with Annie. She truly is the BEST of the best.

WOW. We didn't stop hearing the end of our guests raving about the view and the venue itself. The service is also fantastic!!! All our guests told us they hardly had to wait for drinks the bartenders were so quick and the servers were very professional and almost invisible! It was like being served at a 5-star restaurant! Truly seamless. Annie was our coordinator and she was so on top of all the "behind-the-scenes" magic that had to happen. The timing of the event went of flawlessly and that's a big task of the coordinator and she nailed it! She's also unflappable. You can ask Annie anything planning-related leading up to the wedding and she's heard it all and has answers for you. In short, if you're looking for a venue in the Hudson Valley this is the one to book. And lastly the photos you'll get at this location will be truly breathtaking!

y seamless event. The venue speaks for itself with its views, and when you add great people who truly care about making your wedding as amazing as possible, you really can't go wrong. I should also add that their food is top notch and your guests will definitely be raving about it. We couldn't be happier with our choice to get married at The Garrison.

s from all of our guests raving about the venue, food and overall experience. Not very often could you say that something, or an event could be prefect but ours truly was. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and used to its maximum potential. Annie and her assistant were so helpful and supportive throughout the entire wedding process. Everyone kept asking where we found this beautiful venue. Highly highly highly recommend the Garrison and Annie :)

t our vision. I had been to The Garrison a few times during our planning and leading up to our wedding, but nothing could prepare me for the how beautiful and perfect everything was. The staff was incredible and very attentitve to my 96 year old grandmother. Every day after I have heard from someone just how amazing the wedding was. The food, the staff, the views, you will not be let down.

as also amazing and all of our guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had.

he day, Jessica, to all of the waitstaff, bartenders, etc., we are so thankful for your hard work and dedication to making our day magical! Big shout out to the chef and kitchen staff as well! Everyone was raving about the food!! Best day ever!

vers) raved about how delicious the food was and how generously the staff poured drinks! Most of all, we were so happy with Annie Rozycki, our wedding coordinator. She promptly answered any questions we had about our vendors and other details before the wedding . During our planning meeting prior to our wedding she went over every small detail with us - most we hadn't even thought of!! It is unbelievable how much is included in The Garrison's wedding package (linens, cake, menu-printing, candles, etc) and it was amazing to have Annie walk us through each decision. On the day of our wedding, Annie was calm, organized, and efficient. Not to mention that she is easy to talk to and kind! We could not have been happier with our wedding and are so lucky to have stumbled upon The Garrison. We cannot wait to return to dine at the restaurant and relive our day!!

le godsend to our planning, and helped us tremendously through every step of the process -- picking our food, setting up our timeline, and walking through every decision with us to make sure we set up a day that reflected us perfectly and was an amazing guest experience. Our guests RAVED about the Garrison -- from the views to the service to the food, everything was top notch, and we had so many guests compliment us that it was by far the best "wedding" food they had ever had, if not some of the best food they had had ever! The staff was incredible, and our guests always had full drinks and plates and were so happy. Bridget also made sure that the staff executed our timeline perfectly, ensuring that we had exactly the amount of time we wanted to mingle, eat and dance with our guests. It was incredible, and we would highly recommend The Garrison to anyone and everyone looking to get married in the Hudson Valley - you can't go wrong!!

e delicious food, the wonderful staff but the easiest thing to say (and I don't say this lightly) is: I wouldn't change a single thing about the day! It was perfect from start to finish.

right before your wedding, but Annie assured us that everything would go according to plan and she had reviewed all of Todd's notes and spoke to us over the phone to make sure everything was what we wanted. I can't speak about Annie's planning process, but Todd asked us about every little detail starting from where to sit the parents to what table cloths would go with the flowers. Annie was on point the day of the wedding. There were a couple of hiccups with the DJ but she handled everything behind the scenes and we didn't even know! She calmed us down before our entrance/choreographed dance and truly was wonderful/nice. As if Annie wasn't enough, the venue is just perfect. Beautiful backdrop and amazing food. They even personalized our own dinner meals by letting us order something different from the menu. A couple of items to note though 1. the upstairs of the inn is very small if you are looking to get ready there. it was sufficient for my wife but she's not very picky, but i wish they would let them use the salon/empty space downstairs if it's not in use (which it wasn't on the day of our wedding) 2. they don't have much leeway on pricing/freebies - there's no tasting that most weddings provide, they didn't even give us a free lunch just to taste an entree or two which was kind of disappointing because i feel like that's a normal experience as part of a wedding. We just had to go with the reviews of the food and for wedding food, i thought it was pretty damn good. 3. watch out for west point and vassar college graduations! there's not many hotels near by and the graduations take up most of the hotel spaces and/or all the hotels raise their prices which was unfortunate for our guests!
