I cannot rant and rave enough about The Grandview. To begin, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. The views of the Hudson River are stellar. We had our wedding in the grand ballroom which is so spacious with a huge dance floor! For the staf...
f, if I could give them 20 stars, I would. Abby and Hayley were so sweet throughout the entire process and helped us so much with everything (we can't thank them enough!). My husband is in the restaurant business so service is very important to him -- he was talking about the service here for the past two weeks. Everyone working is so attentive and nice. The food is SO GOOD!!!! Our families and friends can't stop talking about how delicious all of the food was and how it wasn't like normal "wedding food". I have been dreaming about my wedding since I was small, have watched hundreds of episodes of different wedding shows and The Grandview was better than anything I could have ever imagined. They made our day picture perfect!
They were wonderful to work with, and the venue is gorgeous. All of our guests raved about the food. My only (2) complaints would be- 1) They put the wrong table numbers on our tables, and while I was able to see this prior to guests arriving ...
and they were able to correct the mistake, unfortunately all of my photographers shots of the reception have someone else's table numbers on the tables, and 2) The bridal attendant was new and in training, and barely assisted throughout the day. Other than that, the venue did a wonderful job.
My husband and I had our wedding at The Grandview in November 2022. We had the absolute best time! We are from PA, so at first having a wedding in NY seemed a little scary as we were not close by if we needed to be but from the moment we steppe...
d foot in the Grandview, during our tour, we knew we had to have our wedding there. Staff was organized and extremely friendly/ helpful during the planning process and come day of, staff was professional and exceptional at running the night (extra shout out to wedding attendants Victor & Diamond). The food was delicious and was served hot. Our guests STILL talk about our wedding saying how great the food was and just how much fun they had. We hope one day to be a guest at a wedding held here so we can experience it from the other end, but overall we wish we could do it again. The Grandview was the absolute best choice for our reception hall and we can not thank the staff enough for making our night wonderful. Thank you for a great night!

Thank you for choosing The Grandview for your special day! We are thrilled to hear that you and your husband had an amazing experience with us, and that our staff exceeded your expectations from beginning to end. We understand that planning a w...
edding from out of town can be daunting, but we are happy to have made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you both.
We're also thrilled to hear that your guests loved the food and had a great time at your wedding. Our team takes great pride in providing exceptional service and delicious cuisine, so it's wonderful to know that we hit the mark.
Any questions?
I don’t even know where to begin! My husband and I got married here on 12/10/22 and it was absolutely the most perfect day! Throughout the whole wedding planning process Ashley , Abby and the whole crew were nothing but amazing! They super resp...
onsive and gave great suggestions whenever I asked for them(and trust me I asked a lot)! Our guests couldn’t believe how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was! Many guests even said they thought the cocktail hour was the actual meal because of how over the top it was! The decorations for the holidays were stunning. The team made the events go smoothly and guided us through the entire day! So awesome 10/10 would recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you had the perfect day at The Grandview, and that our team went above and beyond to make sure that everything was just as you envisioned it....
We truly appreciate your kind words, and we hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the future.
Genuinely a 5 star wedding. Beautiful venue, amazing staff, spectacular food. It was the best day of our lives. All of the guests including the grandparents raved how good the food was and how friendly the staff were. We could not have asked fo...
r a better wedding. Just about everyone hung outside to watch the beautiful sunset and then returned to the dance floor for the rest of the night. We had about 170 people turn out for the outdoor wedding and it never felt cramped. There was wedding going on indoor as well and we never even noticed. The Grandview staff is everything that has already been said and more. It was so much fun, we are still reliving that day 6 months later. We hope to return one day as guests to see everything happening from a different perspective. It was just such a beautiful day and experience! Would recommend 1000x

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at The Grandview! We are delighted to hear that your wedding day was everything you hoped it would be, and that our team helped make it such a memorable experience.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Grandview. My husband and I knew from our tour of the venue that this was the place we wanted to have our reception. The staff was extremely helpful, attentive, and made all meetings, payment, and ...
overall experience easy and fun. We had the most amazing time at our reception and so did our guests. The food was incredible, our cake and Viennese was show stopping, and the service went above beyond, there truly was not one detail missed. HUGE shout out to Victor who was our Maître'd, he was so attentive and really went the extra mile for us. The Grandview made my husband and I, as well as all of our guests feel very well taken care of and like royalty. My husband and I want to say thank you all so much and we will absolutely be recommending The Grandview to any of our friends looking for venues.

to ensure that every detail was perfect. We will be sure to share your kind words with Victor who will be thrilled to hear that he made such a positive impact on your special day. Our team takes great pride in making every guest feel like royalty, and we're glad to hear that you and your guests had a wonderful experience.
This venue was everything we hoped it would be and more. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Victor and Jada were so organized day of and kept everything on time to the minute. We didn’t do a first look and leading up to the ceremony...
the staff made sure that my soon to be husband didn’t run into me in the hall during pictures. The food was incredible and cocktail hour (though we didn’t get to partake) was complimented over and over. One of our friends was convinced there was no sit down dinner due to the amount of food at cocktail hour. The only “issues” we had were a constant turnover of who we spoke with throughout the planning process but that’s no fault to the venue. We also wish we got more finger foods from cocktail hour to try in our suite instead of the clams and spaghetti/pasta station. The second you book this venue be sure to call the bridge authority and lock in your colors for the night of your wedding. That was also amazing.
Had the perfect day at the Grandview. The staff was very attentive and our big day was seamless. The Grandview takes care of everything. We had a great event coordinator (Taylor!) who was amazing every step of the way during the planning proc...

Our wedding was the great day of our lives! The venue was so wonderful and accommodating with everything. We were able to have our music-themed wedding and have tons of creative liberty. I would recommend the Grandview to anyone looking for a b...

We couldn't be happier to have had our wedding at The Grandview. The staff, no matter who we worked with, was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Nothing was overlooked. They helped us with all requests big and small, and even let us meet w...
ith the pastry chef to create a custom dessert table. The views at The Grandview are second to none, our guests are still talking about it and the pictures we got there are stunning. I can't say enough good things about The Grandview, and if you want to be married outside, the tent is where you have to be. Best views in the Hudson Valley!
We just had our ceremony and reception here in the outdoor tent and it was FANTASTIC! Highly recommend to anyone thinking about booking here.
We had some rain so the ceremony was indoors but with the super high ceilings and beautiful chandel...
iers, it was still spectacular and the space felt totally different once it was time for the reception.
Great food, impeccable service, kind staff all around, and lots of attention to detail. Our main point of contact was Abby and we were very happy to work with her! We'd do it all again if we could!
The Grandview was absolutely above and beyond our expectations. My son and daughter in law were over the moon with their wedding reception at the Grandview. Food was amazing, everyone was raving. The staff were tremendously accommodating and so...
very lovely. The views of the Hudson and the outside seating on a gorgeous summer evening made it even more spectacular.
We are so very grateful for the the special day we had and the heartfelt memories that will last for a lifetime.
Incredible experience with everyone at Grandview in the lead-up and on our big day itself. All of our guests were blown away by the food, the setting, and the incredible staff. Taylor was extremely helpful with whatever we needed leading up to ...
the event and the day-of event staff took great care of us on our wedding day. We saw so many other venues along the Hudson, but we couldn't be happier that we chose The Grandview.
I cannot say enough great things about the Grandview! They literally think of everything and they run like a well oiled machine! From the first day we went to tour the Grandview I knew this was the place for me! The outside ballroom is absolute...
ly stunning and if you still have COVID concerns the tent is a perfect option as even if was raining the tent could be open to allow constant fresh air and to take in the beautiful views of the Hudson! The food was fantastic and all our guests raved about it! The service was spot on from the Matre'd to the servers to the bar tenders. They thought of everything! When you book at the Grandview you do not need to worry about hiring a day of coordinator as you are in great hands. We had the best more stress free day and we have the Grandview to thank for that!
The Grandview is a wonderful place. A full-service venue that makes the wedding planning process as seamless as possible. The Staff is amazing and so helpful and will answer any and every question you have. I have zero complaints and couldn't...

guests and family members had nothing but great things to say about the food, the staff, the bartenders, and the entire wedding itself. It truly was a perfect day, and we were blessed with perfect weather, so we were able to have our ceremony outside. The Grandview was the perfect setting for our wedding.
The after party at Shadows was phenomenal too. It was the perfect vibe for our post wedding celebration. The staff there was incredible as well. The shuttle buses made sure every single one of our guests got back to their hotel after the after party ended and nobody had to take an uber.
Again, thank you so much for all of your help throughout our wedding process. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or a better wedding!
My husband and I got married in December at The Grandview and we cannot recommend it enough. We knew we were in good hands with The Grandview from the moment we booked, We had to postponing our wedding due to COVID and for a stressful situati...
on they made it so easy and seamless. From the views to the staff to the convenience of it all, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue to get married at. Lauren, Mackenzie, Crystal and the entire staff are truly the best. They take care of every little thing the day of. The food is fantastic and there’s full waiter service to the tables making your guests truly be able to relax and enjoy the evening. Our guests were raving about the entire night. If you’re looking for a perfect venue, definitely make sure to check out The Grandview.
We held our wedding at the Grandview October 2021 and it was the best experience! Everything (especially the food and views) was so wonderful that our family and friends have not stopped talking about how amazing the day was. Everyone we worked...
with was so friendly and helpful, especially considering we had to reschedule our initial wedding day due to covid. We really have to thank Mackenzie (our wedding attendant) and Debbie (our Maitre d') for making the day run so smoothly and stress free!
Words can not describe how amazing our wedding was. From the moment we had our first walkthrough I just knew we were going to get married there. We booked with Margaret in February 2020 and then a month later COVID hit. Margaret was in constan...
t communication with my husband and I throughout the whole year and a half processes leading up to the wedding. I had many meetings with Margaret, some where I was in tears, so worried about if I was even going to have a wedding. Margaret was always there to listen and be supportive and always reassured us that it would all work out! And it truly did! All of the staff was so great the week of the wedding (I had to make numerous trips to the venue dropping things off) and always checking in to see how I was doing. I never worried about how the venue was going to look because I trusted the Grandview wholeheartedly that they would bring my vision to life...and they did just that. The venue was beautiful. Our guest raved about the food, and coming from a big Italian family that means something. Cocktail hour was everyones favorite. Our guest still talk about how much food was served that night. They also speak about the personalized service they received. Our guest shared that the staff knew everyone at the tables names and spoke to everyone by their name, which made it feel so personal. My guest shared how attentive the staff was throughout the whole night. We had the ice cream sundae bar (which was a great hit) and my Grandma did not have to wait on line for ice cream, her waiter got it for her....just so sweet. My husband and I were treated so well that night. My wedding attendant Shady was spectacular. She helped bustle my dress to perfection and was always there with anything we needed. It rained on our wedding and after pictures, our attendants were waiting for my Husband and I with warm towels...they dried us off so we could get back to the party. Such amazing services. At the end of the night the staff packed up all of our decor, card boxes, everything and helped bring it to my parents car. We did not have to worry about anything with our wedding...they were always there for us. I truly am so thankful for everyone who made our wedding so perfect!
We spent a good deal of time trying to find an outdoor wedding venue with beautiful sights and a truly catered experience. The Grandview really knocked it out of the park for us - their staff were always prompt and professional leading up to t...
he big day and made everything seem so effortless - we really did not have to think about anything but ourselves on our wedding day! The food was a hit for us and all of our guests, and having the cake made on-site was a pleasant (and delicious) plus to the whole package. Our guests could not stop raving over the food options, the beautiful treeline across the Hudson River and the flowers onsite. The maitre d' and captain on our day were on point and seamlessly directed the entire wedding - it was a completely stress-free experience. As an additional bonus, the holding company also owns the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel and makes it incredibly simple to ferry guests to and from the venue as well as giving access to a honeymoon suite for us on our wedding night.
We cannot sing our praises loud enough for the Grandview and their staff. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding so magical and perfect!!
We cannot thank The Grandview team enough for putting on the wedding of our dreams on August 20. When people asked us why we picked the venue, we not only tell them about the amazing views but also about the incredible people. We had the most a...
mazing day; Debbie and Sonia were SO great, and our guests raved about the staff as well (and of course, the food!!). Margaret and Taylor were so amazing to work with as well, especially when postponing from our original date in 2020.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! From the service to the food, everything was perfect and executed flawlessly. One month later and our guests are still talking about the exceptional cocktail hour and the nonstop service. The staff is so gracious and kind...
and the views are unbelievable. We got married in the outdoor tent and I highly recommend it. We had the most amazing experience. Poughkeepsie will always be in our hearts!
I can’t even tell you how many people told my husband and I that we had the best wedding ever!! I also felt the same way. There was nothing about that day that wasn’t absolutely perfect. To start we had 8 passed hors d’oeuvers and 4 stations pl...
us meats, cheeses, etc at just cocktail hour. Then you have appetizer, dinner and cake on top of that. I didn’t have to worry about one thing the entire event. The staff was on top of everything, my maitre d’ had our back at every turn. The views are unbeatable. I seriously am obsessed with this event space and our wedding. During COVID, they moved our wedding, no fee, no problems. Kept our original price for us. We’re so sweet about every obstacle or question I had. On top of all of that they are reasonable with pricing to begin with. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue and it’s people. We love you Grandview!!!
Absolute outstanding service and quality- could not have done a better job! Would highly highly recommend ❤️❤️
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION are the only words that describe the level of service at this beautiful venue. There is a reason for the hundreds of 5 star reviews for the Grandview on every website! Our guests are constantly reaching out to us weeks late...
r to tell us how great the food, drinks, service, scenery etc. all were!
Planning - Margaret and Taylor are incredible! Every time I had a question they had an answer (and I had a lot of questions!). In the years leading up to our wedding, they instilled nothing but confidence in us that our day would go wonderfully - through COVID and all! Our vendors were even SO excited to be going to back to the Grandview.
Food - multiple guests have told us this was the best wedding food, best cocktail hour food, best steak at a wedding, best wedding cake that they have ever had!
Service - I was expecting a lot but they totally exceeded our expectations. Vanessa and Crystal really went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and my husband and I were always taken care of! We really felt like royalty on our wedding day. Many guests have told us that the waitstaff was extremely attentive, refilling drinks so they didn't have to go to the bar and makin sure food allergies were considered when ordering dinner.
The value that we received for our wedding I do not believe can be matched by any other venue. It was truly a dream come true.
We had our wedding at the Grandview and it was AMAZING! The staff are professional friendly and attentive. The views and the food exceed expectations! Huge shout out to Margaret, Sonya and Debbie for making my wedding day perfect and stress fre...
e. This place is exceptional! I would highly recommend having your wedding at the Grandview!
5 stars is not enough! From my initial interaction in 2019, i knew the Grandview was the place for my wedding. The Venue is absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor ballroom is where i had my wedding and i tear up just thinking of not only having t...
o reschedule due to covid, but the amazing compassion, empathy and all support from Margaret and Taylor. The grandview emailed cdc updates and of coursed answered my hundreds of questions. They were super responsive and gave me a sense of security that not even my mother could give me about my wedding. When they said the wedding would be fabulous regardless this pandemic they were right. I was fortunate that things started to open up as my wedding approached. The staff are just that "Grand" Sonia was amazing. She took care of myself and my husband's every need. Always right there near us and making sure we and our parents were ok. We just love her so much. The entire staff at the grandview was amazing and the food well my guests are still talking about it to this day. If could do my wedding all over again i would because it was absolutely perfect. Let's not even talk about the food. Well the food was absolutely delicious. My guests are still talking about the food too. The cake, Kasey captured exactly what we wanted and for a non cake eater like me... i didn't save the top. I ate it the next morning with my family who were calling asking if i had cake left. LOL LOL. This was my second marriage but felt like my first because it was the first time in my life i hosted a life event that was flawless thanks to the Staff at the Grandview. All the staff, from the chefs, cooks, bartenders, cocktail hour staff, busboys/girls, staff that were assigned specifically to our party and most of all Taylor and Margaret, love them. Grandview is exactly that GRAND! Thank you Grandview for making our day absolutely stunning! love Donna and Alex 5/16/21
This venue was everything I wanted! We had such a great time and the staff was great and very accommodating! My mom has celiacs disease and they made sure to label everything and cook her meal separately! The view was beautiful and we were able...
to use the marina down below for pictures! A very big thank you to Margaret, Taylor, and Victor for making my visions come to life! You all over delivered, and your kindness during covid last year was very memorable! Thank you once again! 100% recommendation! You get so much included for the price and the food is delicious!
Our wedding was incredible because of the staff and service! My wedding attendant Shady was extremely attentive and went out of her way to make my day as easy as possible. The maitre d, Debbie was also incredible. Food was to die for as was the...
cake. Highly recommend! Wish I could relive that evening every day!
Oh my Goodness, The Grandview was AMAZING. We had booked in November of 2018 for a May 2020 wedding. Due to the Pandemic, we had decided to push back an entire year from May 2020 to May 2021, and the Grandview without hesitation accommodated us...
amazingly. As the Pandemic continued, we were constantly given updates from Margaret and her staff on updated policies/procedures. We were finally able to have our day this past weekend on Saturday May 8, 2021.
It rained all morning, and even though we had to move our ceremony inside- the entire staff was very helpful in balancing out what we wanted and the policies needed for COVID.
The entire staff was amazing all night- Deb and Sonia were so very helpful in meeting all our/our guests needs. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day of our lives.
Simply The Best!
We had gotten engaged in January and booked in February before the close downs, and even through this difficult year of uncertainty we had stayed committed to getting married, and changed our 125 guest wedding to a 50 person we...
dding. They offered all the support and communicated with us by providing every option to us along the way to ensure safety and experience.
The entire team from management and servers were so nice. Our friends and family all had a great experience and really enjoyed the delicious food (which is so important especially now in a time when dancing is not permitted!)
Margaret is one of the directors who really is just a wonderful person, who made this stressful experience much easier by helping coordinate our Christmas themed wedding. We were assigned two wonderful attendants the day of our wedding- Shadie and Crystal who were there helping with things we didn’t know we needed help with!
The Grandview is a beautiful venue overlooking the Hudson River with delicious food and ambiance, but the staff just make it the perfect venue to book for your wedding!
We got married this past October and so glad that we did it at Grandview with Brent, Taylor, and Margaret helping us along the way.
We got engaged a month before the pandemic began and we had a rough time figured out the plans to get to the da...
te and had a lot of conversations and emails due to the ongoing pandemic, but the staff were patient and helped us along to get us there. I'm sure we exhausted them, but they were always so kind and on top of it.
The day could not have run so smoothly! We were assigned attendants and they were rockstars! They were attentive and made sure we had everything that we needed. Special thanks to Deb and Nicole.
Post wedding many of our guests commented on how personal, polite and efficient the servers were and how impressed they were by the professionalism and attention to detail. Everyone is healthy post wedding and we attribute that to the staff's preparedness.
We would highly recommend the Grandview for your special events to be a wonderful and safe celebration.
15/10 would recommend... Even with all the COVID related setbacks for the price the value you will get is unexplainable ... Margaret is one of the nicest human's I've ever met and will go above and beyond to help you and your spouse in any way ...
shape or form. The food is great... the cake was amazing the ambiance was even better and every single person who attended the wedding had a blast... DO NOT I MEAN DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE UP
If I could give this venue and the staff 100 stars I would. From the moment I walked into those doors, I knew this was the place I wanted to get married. Margaret was incredible, welcoming and so professional. We got engaged right before COVID ...
hit, and throughout the entire planning process, Taylor was there for every question I had. We had no idea what to expect when we decided to have our 50 person micro wedding. But it turned out to be even more perfect than what I hoped for. All of our guests raved about the food and the beautiful views. Our maitre- d and bridal assistant Sonia were absolutely incredible the entire night. There wasn’t a moment we didn’t have a drink or food right by us. If you’re questioning a micro wedding during these crazy times- put your trust in this venue. You will not be disappointed. Everyone had an amazing time. Thank you for everything!
Wow! We can not be happier with our choice of venue. The Grandview went above and beyond to make our day so perfect. When we first started wedding planning, we had no idea the roller coaster ride we would be in for. Our original date was in May...
of 2020. Seven weeks before our wedding, the world shut down. We were devastated, but Margaret and the Grandview team were with us every step of the way. They answered every email and call with such care and compassion. Even during such stressful times, they always made us feel at ease.
We decided to go through with a micro wedding on 10/10/2020. The entire week leading up to the wedding was a stress I wouldn't wish on any bride. I was terrified the world would shut down again. But the Grandview always eased my concerns, and when the day came, it was beyond beautiful and stress-free. Our attendant, Sonia, came to great myself and my bridesmaids and was nothing but amazing. Bringing us champagne and snacks and helping with pictures. My husband and I didn't have to worry about anything! Everything was simply beautiful. Our maitre’d, Debbie, was so amazing the whole night. Both making sure my husband and I took a minute to eat or had a drink. Our guests continue to rave about the food and how amazing it was, and how gorgeous the venue was.
In the times of COVID, the Grandview went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe. Everything was so cleaned and sanitized. Everyone felt very safe and protected.
We seriously cannot thank the Grandview enough for helping us make our wedding day beautiful.
The Grandview = Grand Perfection. Our magical day was brought to life at The Grandview. The Grandview’s selling feature is literally the grand view of the Hudson River and exceptional hospitality. More than that, it is a team that worked harmo...
niously together to make wedding dreams come true. We have had a pleasant experience with all the staff starting with the tour to the final good-bye of the wedding night. We consulted predominantly with Melissa from sales. She was highly attentive, answered all of our questions, and reviewed every element in detail at our final meeting. The wait staff is incredible. Everyone is so kind and works hard to make sure all the guests are having a great time and well fed. And the food, my goodness, the food! Two key factors for us to choose our venue were 1) a lovely view, and 2) a knockout cocktail hour. If these are important to you, then look no further than The Grandview. Do take advantage of The Grandview’s awesome tastings. It really helps to solidify the choices, there are so many great ones! We highly recommend Debbie as the Maître D and Sonia as Head Server – both took exceptional care of us and made sure the night went off without a hitch. And if you’re on the fence about the Viennese Spectacular – do it! It was an incredible way to end our magical day. Guests continue to tell us that this was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to, all thanks to The Grandview.
If I could give the Grandview an infinite number of stars, I would do it.
Choosing this venue was without a doubt the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. During the uncertain, stressful and ever-changing status of the co...
ronavirus, we were always treated with kindness, respect and flexibility. We had to postpone our wedding to a later date and make a lot of adjustments throughout the months leading up to our wedding due to the virus, and each step of the way, Margaret Brower and her staff accommodated our every request, patiently and helpfully answered all of our (many) questions and ultimately made our wedding day about us. We were not pressured to make any decisions about our wedding that were not in our best interest or within our plan, and I know that is not the case with all wedding venues during this difficult time.
Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere and view is breathtaking (they don't call it the "Grandview" for nothing!) and the attention to detail was unmatched--every small favor or request that my family and I asked for was fulfilled and was handled exactly right. The staff worked tirelessly to host an event that was fun, safe and in accordance with all state and federal guidelines relating to the virus. Despite the climate and the status of things, at no point of the day did I feel like I was sacrificing anything by holding my wedding during a worldwide pandemic, and I have the Grandview to thank for that.
I highly, highly recommend this venue. Their prices are reasonable, their service is impeccable, and the people who work there (especially Margaret) are an absolute delight!
Thank you, Grandview team, for all you did for me and my husband! Thanks to you, our wedding day was perfect and is truly a story to remember.
If you are considering getting married in any other location, STOP RIGHT NOW! The Grandview is literally the best place. From the moment I toured the venue, nothing else could compare. The attention to detail, quality of service and friendly st...
aff went above and beyond anything that I could have ever imagined.
My husband and I both agreed when planning our wedding that finding a venue that had great food was at the top of our importance list. We had attended one too many weddings with terrible food and did not want that to be our experience. We found ourselves asking, how do we find a venue that understands cooking for hundreds of people rather than showcasing a tasting for two. The answer came with selecting the Grandview! As we talked food, we quickly realized that the Grandview Team (especially Melissa) understood what it meant to be someone who loves food. When it came to food, I do not know any other venue that allows you to select 12+ options for cocktail hour in addition to a sit down multi-course dinner! The best part, they conduct their tasting events as if you are attending a mock wedding! Any doubts we had about venues mastering cooking for large numbers vanished immediately! Even reflecting on our experience, I still find the volume of selection to be overwhelming (in a positive way- trust me!!). To this day (almost 3 months after our wedding) we still have people talking about the food! Our dream of having a wedding with the best food became a reality!
The Grandview Team really are masters of all things weddings and not just the food (although for us the food was the priority). Melissa was able to answer all of my questions throughout our year long planning process. I never once felt as if I had a silly question or was unaware of any details. Melissa and Brent made me laugh more times than I can count and helped me bring my wedding day vision to life. The venue itself is beautiful, and you'll find yourself grateful for the philosophy "less is more". The Hudson River and Mid-Hudson Bridge made for a wonderful backdrop to our evening wedding. They took care of things before I even knew it needed to be done. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our whole wedding experience.
Stop looking for a wedding venue. The Grandview can and will meet all of your wedding needs.
The Grandview’s tag line is ‘the only thing we overlook is the view’ and it’s true. The whole team is amazing. The food is unbelievable, I’m still getting comments about it. The staff are some of the nicest people I have met, willing to go abov...
e and beyond for you. As the day drew nearer, my emails grew longer and more frequent. The staff, (especially Melissa) promptly responded to all my queries with amazing detail that put me at ease. I wish I could time travel and be a guest at my own wedding for the food and atmosphere. I couldn’t be happier.
From the first time meeting with Margaret, we knew this was the place we would celebrate at!
The whole made our day so special, the venue was beautifully decorated. I loved that each table had their own server and every server was attentive to...
my guest needs. The food was exceptional, from cocktail hour through dessert. The in house baker did an amazing job on our cake it was exactly what we wanted.
We totally recommend this venue!
This place is magical! The view, the venue, the people, the food/bev. From the moment we walked in we knew, without a doubt, this was where we were to be married. We have no ties to Poughkeepsie; my husband & I are from NYC and decided to make ...
the drive and check it out in person as the pictures just seemed to be too good to be true. No fibbing here, this place is the real deal! Thank you to all who went above and beyond on our special day, Margaret B, Melissa B, Debby & Chedy...you're the best!!!
I always wanted to have my wedding at The Grandview and from our first meeting I knew this was where we were getting married. Melissa was so helpful in making sure everything was perfect leading up to the big day! Debbie and Sonia were amazing ...
and made sure that our wedding day was perfect. The Grandview exceeded all expectations and everything was perfect! I didn’t have to worry about anything. All details were taken care of. Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Debbie and Sonia made sure we were fed and always had a drink in hand! They also packed up extra snacks for us at the end of the night! This was the most important day of my life and everything was amazing!!! So many of my guests were raving about the venue the food and the view. Some of them may not have eaten for a few days after but they sure did have an amazing time! Thank you to everyone at The Grandview for making this the easiest, stress free and most wonderful wedding for us!!!
There are no words to describe how perfect our wedding was and it was all thanks to everyone at the Grandview. Melissa was so helpful right from the beginning and answered what felt like my 1,000 questions with such knowledge and grace. The wed...
ding itself could not have been more perfect. Victor and the rest of the staff were amazing! Before the wedding my brother stepped on my dress and got a big dirt stain on it (what are little brothers for?). Wedding guests would have never known because within minutes Chady had it cleaned up and looking perfect again. The food, the cake, the service, the view 😍 it was all to die for. We could not have imagined a more perfect day!
It doesn’t happen often that I’m made speechless but that’s the only way I can express how completely blown away we were at our wedding. From the very beginning Melissa was so professional, accommodating, supportive, and responsive. She answere...
d numerous and endless emails and phone calls without missing a beat. We live in Las Vegas and while planning our wedding long distance had it’s challenges, communicating and designing our vision with Melissa was a seamless and easy process. As we walked into the Grandview on our wedding day, my now husband and I were completely blown away. Tears were brought to my eyes as “our vision” was brought to life in its absolute entirety. Both flawless and breathtaking. Our wedding attendants Val and Debbie were amazing! We always had a drink in our hand and a warm plate of food in front of us. They came to my rescue with safety pins every time my bustle decided to break! If we could rate the Grandview on a scale of 1-10, we'd give them a solid 15. We are so grateful to everyone there for letting us have the best wedding we could have ever imagined. Our guests are still reeling about the amount and quality of food served throughout the night! Jeff and I are so grateful, thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️
We booked with the Grandview ~1 year before our wedding. Everything from start to finish was seamless. Melissa, Ryan, and Janelle kept us informed, answered all of our questions quickly, and paid special attention to us throughout all of our pl...
anning. Looking back, the Grandview staff is still the thing not only we talk about, but our guests keep reminding us about how amazing and attentive they were throughout the night. Victor was nothing short of perfect along with the rest of the crew. At one point, my bustle broke and the team was ready and armed with safety pins to get my dress fixed and me out on the dance floor. If we could rate the Grandview on a scale of1-10, we'd give the a solid 12. We are so grateful to everyone there for letting us have the best wedding we could have ever imagined. Oh, and can we talk about the food!? Our guests thought cocktail hour was it... only to find out that they'd be served an even more amazing meal at dinner. Absolutely blown away with the quality and amount of food to keep everyone happy and full throughout the night. Thank you to you all!!
I don't even know where to begin with this review - Margaret, Melissa and the entire team at The Grandview exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond for us in every single way. I know my wedding planning went as smooth as it did becau...
se I had Margaret and Melissa in my corner. The food was phenomenal, the drinks were flowing all night long, and my decor was set up better than I ever could have envisioned! Angel and Sonja were magicians the day of our wedding, making sure my husband, myself and our bridal party were taken care of all night long, always making sure we had a drink in our hand and food on our plates. My dress ripped RIGHT BEFORE MY CEREMONY .. but I didn't even have time to panic because Sonja was there with a needle and thread ready to stitch it up. This review falls short of what I truly wish I could say. I cannot put into words how grateful we are that we chose The Grandview for our wedding!
We had the best day of our lives! The Grandview has our hearts forever. Dan and I got married on Friday Aug 30th, and had our Chinese Tea Ceremony on their outside patio & our Reception in the Grand Ballroom. It was picturesque and could not ha...
ve been more perfect. The Grandview went out of their way to make sure we had EVERYTHING we needed. From greeting our guests with such hospitality on arrival, to making sure all of our needs were met through the end of our stay. Victor and Shady were on top of their game. They had water & juices ready for my bridal party as we took pictures in the marina with the beaming hot sun. My bustle broke,
and the attendants fixed it immediately, so I can continue to dance with my guests all night. Everyone made us feel so loved and so special on our day. Most importantly, THE FOOD! Cocktail hour was incredible! Our guests were so IMPRESSED by the presentation, taste, & efficiency of the whole day. The amenities at the Grandview are truly worth every penny. To top it all off, I cannot say enough about our wedding coordinators Melissa & Margaret. They were such a dream to work with during my months of planning. From the moment we met Melissa, we knew we were in good hands. She is so professional, detail-oriented and executes any brides vision plus some. Look no further than the Grandview for your special day. Our guests continue to tell us, "THIS IS THE BEST WEDDING WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO!" What an experience, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
What can we say about The Grandview. They made our vision come to life without a hitch. We were married in the Tent with the amazing views of the Hudson River and it couldn't have been more perfect. The months of planning, the atmosphere, the s...
ervice, the food, the drinks each one was better than the next! We are so happy with how everything turned out. We LOVED everything about The Grandview. We highly recommend you, future newlyweds, to check it out. I promise you will not be disappointed. Ugh, I can keep going on and on on how amazing this venue was! Thank you Grandview !!!!!!!
Happy Bride !!!
If you are looking for a venue with not only an incredible waterfront view but also a phenomenal team to give you the wedding of your dreams look no further than the Grandview. My husband and I recently were married here in October and the day ...
couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we initially met with Margaret up to the day we knew this was were we wanted to get married. She made us feel at ease and answered all of our questions and always made sure she could help us in any way. Our maitre’d Victor and bridal attendant Sonya were the team of the night. They were by our side the whole night and made sure everything went smoothly. At the end of the night not only did they pack up and load all of our belongings into our car but they even packed up all of the food we didn’t have a chance to get to during cocktail hour. I have a gluten allergy and the staff accommodated that beautifully without any issues from the appetizers down to the cake. We highly recommend the Grandview to host your wedding, thank you again for giving us the wedding of our dreams!!!
Everything was perfect!!!!
One of the main reasons we chose the Grandview was their options in food. Right from the beginning our sales rep Melissa was extremely helpful and accommodating to our wishes and needs. My wife is Vegan and wanted a mostly vegan wedding. The Gr...
andview offered many options for her and they were delicious. The feedback from our guests was that the venue was beautiful, the food at cocktail hour I was told is the best some guests had ever had. Main entrees were amazing and the service was impeccable.
Their view of the Mid Hudson Bridge and the Hudson river is beautiful and allows for fantastic picture opportunities.
Overall everyone had a great time and we highly recommend the Grandview to anyone looking for a venue for their special day.
We truly can’t say enough about The Grandview! Every single step of the way they are there to help and let me tell you they don’t let you forget any and I mean any details even down to what wine will be at each table! Melissa, valerie, ryan and...
all of the rest of the AMAZING staff make you feel like a family member. They welcome you in and make your special day the most unforgettable event ever :) #1 there is sooo much food and it is by far the best i have ever eaten (please get chocolate covered bacon!!!) i needed help with my dress and Valerie was right there helping me. She had water for when my husband and I were taking photos. Melissa made sure every single question was answered and every single detail was perfect! Ryan made sure number one we ate and made everything run smoothly! Every staff member really makes sure you are taken care of and you really are having the time of your life. I am crying writing this because I wish we could redo the whole entire day! Thanks for making this the best day of our lives and thank you for making all of our wedding dreams come true. You don’t have to think twice about picking the Grandview. We are telling you you won’t regret it for a second! And again... definitely get the chocolate covered bacon :) such a wonderful place!
I can't even begin to express how GREAT of an experience I had with The Grandview, especially Melissa. From start to finish, she was ON POINT. We went for our tasting in April and ended up finding our florist (Flowers by Angel) and made a SPECI...
AL request to have one of the waitstaff (Janine), that we met that night at our actual wedding. Our wedding was in the tent and it was absolutely STUNNING. We have received so many compliments about the venue, it truly is a MAGICAL space. Cocktail hour was PHENOMENAL - we had one of the Italian stations, Mexican...BBQ.. and everything was so TASTY. We had our after party next door at Shadows on the Hudson (where I had bridal shower) and that too was amazing (and convenient because it is all in the same building). SO HAPPY WITH THIS CHOICE. IT IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN! TY TO ALL WHO MADE OUR DAY SO MEMORABLE! <3 Xox
Our family can't stop talking about how great our daughter's wedding day at the Grandview Outdoor Ballroom was. We have received so many compliments from the new in-laws and guests, too. They loved the beautiful setting, and said that the food ...
and service blew them away. The day was all that we had hoped it would be from start to finish.
My daughter and I were impressed with the responsiveness and graciousness of Melissa leading up to the wedding day. She answers every question in a timely manner and is always there to help in any way she can. My daughter and I met with her a few days before the wedding to drop off the decorations and go over the details. I walked away from that meeting telling my daughter, "Melissa is so organized, and took so many notes. I have a weight off my shoulders. It will be great." Actually, let me back up - each vendor that we contracted with was happy that we were having the wedding at the Grandview, who they said was organized, efficient and great to work with. I thought that was very telling, as well.
On the wedding day, from the very first minute of our arrival at the bridal suite, all through the day, right up until Grandview staff packed up our trunk with the gifts and decorations (such a nice touch at the end of a long day), we felt taken care of every moment. They were organized, efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable (right down to knowing, fortunately, how to do a bustle!). It was wonderful to turn over the timeline, the decorating and all the details to your staff, and not worry about a thing all day. And the coordination with the DJ and photographer went off without a hitch. We just can't say enough good things about the Grandview and the staff there.
My husband and I had told our daughter that something always go wrong at a wedding, so just expect it and roll with it. Usually it's something that the guests won't notice one way or the other, anyway. However, at the end of the night at the Grandview, our daughter turned to us with tears in her eyes and said, "It was a perfect day! Not a thing went wrong!" We felt the same. What more could a parent want when planning (and paying for) such a momentous day?! We felt extremely proud to have hosted such a beautiful day for our daughter and her new husband, and for all of our guests.
The Grandview is absolute perfection.
We had looked at about 5 venues before being convinced by a friend to look at the Grandview. We are so grateful we did. We got a great price, but even better was the service provided from the day we booked up until the day of the wedding. And I...
'd like to give a special shout out to my bridal attendant the day of. She was so wonderful and like magic, was there any time something was needed (or was making things happen behind the scenes I didn't even realize)! I didn't even notice until looking at some pictures of the event that she'd collected the bridesmaids' bouquets and had lined them on our head table to add some more color and beauty. Thank you so much to The Grandview and team!
The Grandview exceeded our expectations during our wedding. The attention and kindness given to us and our guests was amazing. Our family could not stop raving about the food the view and everyone that worked there. Victor and valarie were esp...
ecially amazing during the reception!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Words cannot express how amazing our wedding was at the Grandview last weekend. The staff members at the Grandview are absolutely wonderful to work with and very professional. Between Margaret, Melissa, and Ryan, they had everything ready to ...
go for us prior to our wedding day and I honestly do not think the day could have been any better. Our captain, matrie 'd, and personal attendant also did an amazing job throughout the day, taking care of us, as well as our guests. Every guest I have spoken to post wedding has complimented on how beautiful the venue was, how much food was served, and how delicious everything tasted. We had a number of guests with food allergies and the Grandview made sure that all of our guests were taken care of and had foods they could safely eat. We could not be happier with how our wedding day turned out and truly had the "best day ever" experience. I highly recommend the Grandview. Between the incredible views, beautiful ballrooms, incredible food, and amazing staff, they are also affordable with everything they include in their packages.
Thank you to the staff at the Grandview! You all are amazing!!
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing our wedding was at The Grandview!!! My husband and I got married on August 23, 2019 in the ballroom and everything was perfect from start to finish. When we first visited The Grandview during ou...
r reception search, we knew it was our place. And we can’t forget about the tasting event! You feel like you’re at a wedding itself! Throughout the planning process, the staff were so helpful and ready to answer any question. Ryan was incredible! He helped us with so much from decoration placement, tables, and day of logistics - thank you, Ryan! And the wedding day itself was just amazing. Service service service. This is what The Grandview is known for, not one detail was forgotten. Not only were my husband and I cared for the ENTIRE night, but so was every single table. There was never a line at the bar because each table has a server! Our Maitre d, Debbie and head server, Chady, went above and beyond, we can’t say enough good things about them. Cocktail hour and dinner were beyond delicious. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food was and really the best wedding food they have ever had! Then of course you have the views of the Hudson and bridge which are breathtaking. Guests called us after the wedding saying how wonderful The Grandview was and the best wedding they have been too. At the end of the night, Debbie and Chady packed up all of the leftover cocktail hour food that they set aside for my husband and I in the bridal suite to take home! And packed up all of our decorations and offered to drive them to the hotel - just amazing!
Thank you to The Grandview and their amazing staff for making our wedding the best night of our lives. We wish we could do it all over again!!!
The Grandview staff are among some of the most genuine and helpful people I've ever worked with. You can truly tell they love what it is they do. I say I'm sad our wedding has past is an under statement. The Grandview has the most breathtaking ...
views and an amazing flow of events that makes your day just fly by with ease. We were assigned 2 wonderful Maitre'ds who never let us go a second without feeling guided, supported and taken care of. My entire family kept coming to us the entire night saying our wedding was the best wedding they've ever been to! The Grandview even allowed us flexibility to utilize the entire Grandview grounds for our wedding vs just our package space ( at no additional cost!) I picked this place years before we got married and nothing ever shy'ed me away over all these years and I am SO glad we put our special day in the hands of Ryan, Debbie and Shady. Thank you to the whole team!
My husband and I got married in the outdoor ballroom at the Grandview this past June, 2019. Everything about getting married in the tent at the Grandview was amazing. We had actually booked and put down a deposit at another venue before seeing ...
the Grandview. After seeing the view and meeting with the staff there we knew there was no other choice. Everything about working with them was easy. Margaret was so easy to work with and so helpful with the planning process, as well as the other staff there. On the day of the wedding our Maitre de Angel and our wedding attendant Vanessa were great. All of our guests raved about the amazing view and the quantity and quality of the food, especially at the cocktail hour. We added a welcome table with fruit and champagne before the ceremony which was a great addition and Italian cookie trays at each table for dessert. Even with these additions the cost was still WAY less than the first venue we were going to book. Everyone kept telling me to expect something to go wrong at my wedding. I am still amazed that it went completely smooth, thanks to the Grandview! We highly recommend using the Grandview!
We knew at first sight that The Grandview was the perfect place for us to celebrate the biggest and most beautiful day of our lives...our wedding day! Our family and friends had the most amazing experience attending our wedding because the serv...
ice provided was remarkably professional and the panoramic view of the Hudson is unparalleled to any other venue we have ever visited. Melissa Baez has been the most wonderful wedding coordinator and friend to us throughout the process of us planning a traditional Indian wedding. She was so helpful and involved in every step of the planning process, and we couldn't be happier with how beautiful our big day turned out to be! Thank you for giving us the experience of a lifetime!
WOW! The Grandview is above and beyond. Initially I loved this venue for the amazing view and the great flow from ceremony to reception. We didn’t fully realize what an excellent decision we had made until we started planning. Melissa was so he...
lpful in coordinating our day and answered all of my endless questions! She made us feel so comfortable and confident in every detail. We were pleasantly surprised with the menu selections, the food is incredible and there are plenty of options for various diets and needs (some of the best vegan food I have ever had !). We loved that the cake was from the on-site bakery, so convenient and our cake was BEAUTIFUL! The private suite is awesome and comfortably fit our large wedding party while guests were arriving before the ceremony. What really stole the show was the staff the day of our wedding. I cannot say enough. What a team!! My husband and I were truly blown away. Shady and Victor, you two are rockstars. Always 10 steps ahead of us and on top of everything, made us feel like royalty. The whole staff was so excited for us and happy to be there as if they were guests. Professional, accommodating, caring and sincere. We whole heartedly recommend the Grandview!
My husband, my family and I had the most fantastic experience at the Grandview for our wedding reception! Melissa to a good job helping us get all the details together and accommodating some unique requests. The even went seamlessly from our po...
int of view. They even provide the couple with one person from their staff to help them with anything they need all evening. Thank you Shady who worked with us, your phenomenal service and name come up often as we recount our wedding! Thank you Grandview team, we had an amazing wedding celebration with you!
Our experience with The Grandview was amazing and flawless from start to finish. I knew the second that we saw the venue that it was the location for us. It sits right on the Hudson River so the view is stunning. In the early stages of planning...
, Melissa Baez made the process a breeze. She was easy to talk to and informative. She was someone we were easily able to get into contact with throughout the entire planning process and helped us with everything from menu picking to napkin colors up until the big day. One of the most amazing things about The Grandview is how much is included in your wedding package. The amount of food that in included in the cocktail hour alone makes the entire package worth it. We get compliments all the time from guests about how it was the best cocktail hour they have ever been to. When it came time for our big day everything was taken care of, and I mean everything! I did not have to think about a thing the entire day other than just enjoying myself. Throughout we had a maitre ‘d and wedding attendant that literally do everything for you (shoutout to Victor & Sonja!). Sonja, my wedding attendant, literally went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and more. There was one point in the day that I forgot my bouquet for pictures and I turned around and there was Sonja with the bouquet in her hands. They are just that good at their jobs! We cannot thank The Grandview enough for our perfect day and cannot recommend them enough. Everything about our day was perfect from the spectacular views, amazing staff, fabulous food, beautiful cake (which was also included in the package), and just everything!
The absolute best.
The Grandview and staff made my wife and I's day the best day of our new journey together. EVERYTHING was perfect. Our guests are still raving about the cocktail hour (which is huge), drinks (3 bartenders on staff for 150 ...
people), the dinner (filet, gnocchi, and chicken all got high reviews), and the entire Grandview location in general.
The Grandview was so accomodating for various diets including Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten Free. They labeled Gluten Free at stations so guests knew what they could and couldn't have. They even made some things that weren't originally gluten free, gluten free such as the quesadilla. The staff was flawless in their transitions and we truly can't thank the Grandview enough.
We would choose The Grandview a million times over again! Really, can we re-live this day at this amazing place? From the start, the entire staff was SO accommodating and helpful. Planning a wedding from out of state in a city where I did not k...
now anyone could have been a nightmare if it wasn’t for Melissa and the entire Grandview staff. The bridal suite is just what we needed to cool off and decompress after our ceremony, touch up a little, and enjoy the appetizers in privacy. The entire staff could not have been more helpful day of. We never went without a beverage in our hand or food to eat. On the topic of food.. AMAZING!!!! We received so many complements from our guests about how tasty everything was. I was never worried about a thing, it was a peace of mind knowing all my details would be taken care of and set up perfectly. The cocktail hour was BEAUTIFUL. Our guests are still raving about how not only was it the most beautiful venue they have ever been to, but how welcomed and taken care of the entire evening they felt. Honestly WE CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS VENUE ENOUGH! Do it. Book it. You will not regret it. I could go on and on and on about this place but I think I got the point across. The Grandview is the absolute best
We booked The Grandview for our wedding in June not knowing much about it, but solely going off of the reviews and pictures. It was the most incredible place with the most incredible staff. Working with Melissa was an amazing experience because...
she always checked in with us, and kept us on track to have the most perfect day. Every time we saw her she radiated positivity and made us feel like we belonged at The Grandview. The food was unbelievable. We chose to add an ice cream bar for dessert, and there was no skimping. Our guests were receiving goblets of ice cream, and I looked around and could see the joy on their faces. Drinks were plentiful!! We had our wedding in the outdoor tent, and although it was a very warm June day, the fans, cooling vents, and open sides made the temperature perfect. People were having a blast up and dancing the whole time. Sonia was my bridal attendant and I have never met a more wonderful soul. She was so caring and attentive to everything I could have possibly needed or wanted, and was overall so sweet and kind. If you're even thinking of booking with The Grandview, you have to do it!! I would relive my wedding day and over and over again largely in part due to the amazing staff here.
We had our wedding at the Grandview last month and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the entire ~14-month timeframe from booking a date to the wedding day, the staff was always prompt in answering any of our questions, managing our pay...
ments schedule, and coordinating the day of for a smooth event.
We primarily worked with Ryan and Margaret as our planning coordinators during this time, and Debbie was our main event coordinator on our wedding day. All of them and their additional staff made our wedding perfect.
Our guests raved about the food – both quality and quantity! It’s a total package deal, which I was initially hesitant about BUT once we went to one of the tasting events, I was sold. The price per head includes the venue, furniture, linens, dinnerware/glassware, top-shelf bar, a very generous cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres spread, and a 4-entrée option dinner (chicken, beef, seafood, vegetarian). It was accommodating for everyone and delicious! The taco and BBQ cocktail hour stands were the biggest hits among our guests and ourselves. Debbie and team also made sure to make full plates of cocktail hour food and brought them back to our suite, so we were reminded to eat between greeting our guests. SO needed!
The Grandview’s packaging setup helped us seamlessly coordinate everything we wanted in our wedding without having to deal with multiple outside vendors (I was anxious about having different people for linens, plates/cups/utensils, beverages, food, dessert – a lot of room for day-of error and planning headaches).
It ended up raining on our wedding day, and we had chosen the outdoor ballroom tent. The rain crushed my hopes of having the ceremony under the pergola, but the Grandview staff acted quickly and rearranged the entire ceremony to be inside the reception area – it looked beautiful with the chandeliers and the soft rainy mist outside, and no one was the wiser that this was the rainy-day plan.
I recommend the Grandview to host any sort of special event!
Our wedding day and everything leading up to it was absolutely perfect thanks to the wonderful team of people at the Grandview! Our wedding was on 7/5/19 in the indoor ballroom. For over a year leading up to our big day, Margaret was always the...
re to answer any and all questions we had, no matter how big or small they may have been. During all of our visits to the Grandview (initial, tasting, final, and even a few unscheduled visits to see the set up, garden in warm weather, etc.), we were always greeted warmly and openly. On our wedding morning, I expected to feel nervous and antsy about how the day would go, but when the day came I felt unusually calm. I realized that morning that all of my planning was done and it was time to leave things to the professionals....and I could not be happier that I did! Our day was perfect and we were truly able to enjoy every minute of it. Everyone at the Grandview worked together seamlessly and it was beautiful to see all of our planning come together. We didn't have to worry about anything that day. The Grandview set up all of our decorations, transitioned seamlessly from each part of the day, and made sure we ate and always had a drink when we needed or wanted one. During the ceremony, everything ran smoothly even without any prior rehearsal. The team at the Grandview really knows how to do weddings. I can't get over how seamless everything was! During cocktail our, we opted to take photos while the Grandview team stocked our suite with all of the food that was at our cocktail hour. After we were done with photos, we snuck away to the suite for the end of cocktail hour. This was one of my favorite parts of the evening. It gave us the opportunity to have a couple of calm minutes alone to talk and reflect on our ceremony while actually eating our cocktail hour food before entering the reception. I would definitely recommend this to any couple not doing a fist look that really want to enjoy the food! During our reception, our maitre'd and bridal attendant were always there to communicate with us and get us anything we needed. They always made sure we had a drink nearby. All of the food was amazing (which we already knew from our awesome tasting!) and the service was incredible. Our guests still can't stop raving about it! We could not be happier with our wedding day. It was truly the perfect day thanks to the team at the Grandview!!
We had the best experience having our wedding at the Grandview. Melissa and the other staff were wonderful to work with! Melissa answered all of our questions and was so easy to work with. The staff the day of our wedding went above and beyond ...
making sure everything ran smoothly. The venue is beautiful and we loved taking our photos by the water. Our guests still talk about how amazing the food was both at cocktail hour and during the reception! We chose to have our reception in the inside ballroom but both the inside and outside ballrooms are absolutely beautiful! The Grandview was the prefect place to celebrate the most special day in our lives!
There are no words to describe how amazing our wedding day was. EVERYTHING was perfect. From the venue, to the food, the staff, the entire day was out of movie. After researching a few venues, I came across The Grandview and immediately knew I ...
wanted to get married in their outdoor ballroom. It was love at first sight when we visited. Through out the entire process the entire staff was so nice and accommodating. I read so many reviews and everyone had great things to say, but it wasn't until my own wedding day that I was truly able to relate to these reviews. Our wedding attendants went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us. Our glasses were always full, my dress was always intact, food was saved and kept for us to enjoy while taking pictures; Somehow they did everything for us all day but I never felt like they were in my way, they were like little secret wedding ninjas. The food! THE FOOD!! I come from a very big Italian family, so food was of the utmost importance to us. The Grandview did not disappoint. We still have people raving about not only the quantity, but the quality of food. It was delicious, everything was so good. The views of the Hudson are unmatched, it almost looks fake! I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else but here. Our guests had the best time and were in complete awe of what an amazing wedding we hosted. My husband and I had the best day of our life and we owe it all to them!! We keep joking to our friends that someone needs to get married there so we can enjoy the day all over again, but as a guest!!! :) Thank you to everyone at The Grandview. You made our special day even more amazing then we could have dreamed!!!!
Our wedding was on July 6, 2019. We had such an amazing time. Unfortunately, it thunderstormed but the grandview didnt miss a beat. Right away they set everything up in the grandball room, the ceremony was beautiful, the cocktail hour was fille...
d with delicious foods and drinks, our guests could not believe there was still a dinner to come. Our cake was beautiful. Our matre D and our attendant were absolutely wonderful. Our guests had such an awesome time at our wedding. Our DJs through MSV, Richie and Nick were fantastic as well. The dance floor was filled all night long, the mirror photobooth was a big hit, and we even had a spot for cornhole set up as well. What an awesome time! My husband and I will hold these memories in our hearts. We are so happy we went with this venue. Every detail was taken care of. Thank you to the Grand View. Definitely a great choice and worth the amount spent.
Margaret was good she was understanding and worked and was very helpful with the wedding planning.The view was great.The food was good.The cake was good.Great experience overall.Our family enjoyed themselves.
Just had my daughters wedding here. It was amazing because of the wonderful staff at the Grandview. The food was delicious and the staff made sure to meet our every need. If you are thinking about a venue for your wedding check the Grandview...
out. It was worth every penny.

What a beautiful review. We enjoyed hosting your daughters special day and we are delighted that you loved everything about the day!
I have nothing but good things to say about The Grandview and it is difficult to know how to start this review. I had been to the Grandview several times before for another wedding and for corporate events so I know they did a great job but pl...
anning my own wedding with them showed me how much they truly go above and beyond for their guests. My husband and I got married in May and everything about this venue was perfect from the moment we booked it to the end of our reception. Communicating with the event planners during the wedding planning process was seamless. Everyone we spoke with was helpful and professional; special shout out to Margaret! We chose to have our wedding in the tent outside which was perfect for a spring wedding. It was beautifully decorated and the views of the Hudson River and mountains are breathtaking. When we arrived at the venue after the church ceremony we went into the private bridal room which had a private bathroom for the bridal party and food from cocktail hour for us to snack on. All of our flowers and decorations were beautifully arranged in the reception area. and THE FOOD. Everyone raved about it from cocktail hour to dessert. As the bride they went out of their way to prepare me duck for dinner despite that not being an option on our menu (and it was delicious!!). We had a funfetti cake made which was the best cake I think I've ever eaten in my life (we are still eating it out of our freezer to this day). The staff was courteous, professional, and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Thank you to the Grandview for making our wedding day absolutely perfect.
Response from the Vendor on 07/14/2019
Victoria, this is a great review. We are glad to hear that the planning process was seamless, that is what we strive for. Enjoy eating the rest of the funfetti cake, we enjoyed baking it for you. Congratulation to you both!
Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff, excellent service and delicious food. All guests had great time.

Thank you for the review!
Wow! There is not much I can say about The Grandview because I am absolutely speechless! I was so impressed with this venue! I still tear up thinking about how breathtaking my wedding looked! Every single guest LOVED their food & was in complet...
e awe of the views! Not to mention the service! Melissa was our wedding coordinator & from day 1 she was professional, super accommodating, friendly, and always responded to emails quickly. Throughout the wedding planning process, it seemed like the Grandview staff was more like my friend than my wedding venue. They really take pride in forming relationships with their clients & take the time to get to know their couples on a personal level. The day of our wedding we had Victor as our maitre’d, and he was top notch! He did a great job at walking us though the day, always made sure my husband & I had a drink or something to eat, and that we were comfortable with every aspect of their set up. He treated my husband & I like royalty! The Grandview went above and beyond to exceed my expectations! I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else, and I HIGHLY recommend The Grandview to anyone looking to plan a wedding! You will be blown away!

Charisse, we miss you already. Thank you for the glowing review. We loved working with you and watching your beautiful details come to life on your wedding day. You looked absolutely stunning too! Congratulations xoxo
Wow! I can not express enough how absolutely perfect The Grandview was for our wedding! From the first time viewing the venue up until our wedding day everything was perfect! The Grandview was the first and only venue myself and my husband look...
ed at for our wedding. We knew right away that was the spot for us! The staff are all so unbelievably kind and professional. Planning up to our big day we worked with Melissa and Ryan and they are both amazing! They know their stuff. Rosie and Nicole were our wedding attendants and they were wonderful! Everyone was so friendly and made me and my husband feel so special! We found out it was Nicole's first wedding and she did amazing! We never would have known! Perfect job. The cocktail hour staff, reception/dinner staff, bartender.. all so wonderful! The food and drinks were top notch. All of our guests were raving about the food.. you will not go hungry! The Grandview also has a bridal suite available to you with your own bathroom and a room to have to yourself if you need some time to yourself for a moment or to freshen up. The location on the Hudson river can not be beat and is perfect for photos. I could go on and on about how wonderful everything was. My and my husband were so blown away by everything and can not thank The Grandview staff enough! 10/10 would absolutely reccomend!

Alison, you had such a fun wedding. From the Italian table to the DJ, you had the right mix in the room. We all loved working with you both!
The Grandview is by far the best option for wedding venues in our this area. From the Beginning to the end, Melissa, Ryan and Staff were incredible. They truly made our wedding planning as stress free as possible. Our day-of staff were extremel...
y attentive and catered to my husband and I's every need, as well as the needs of our 200+ guests. The view, the food, the experience, everything is just incredible and I truly cant say enough about the amazing experience we had. The Grandview most certainly made our Wedding Day the most special day for us!
Response from the Vendor on 07/14/2019
Caroline & Chris, we loved celebrating with you and your families. You had such a fun evening. Thank you for the review and Congratulations!
Writing this review is difficult -- and not in a bad way. It is difficult because The Grandview was so spectacular I do not know where to begin. As the mother of the bride I found myself doing the majority of the wedding planning because my d...
aughter lives out of state (mid-west). We chose the outdoor ballroom which I call the tent and the ceremony was at the outdoor site. Let me summarize -- from the initial visit, to the planning. the staff, THE FOOD, the site -- everything was pure perfection. I am a NYC person! and let me tell you my friends and family were in awe of the service and the FOOD -- I keep capitalizing the food because it was exquisite. Also the staff - I truly did not have to worry about the venue -- while I heard amazing things about The Grandview not until that day did I truly realize all reviews were on point -- my advice -- hold your wedding or special event at The Grandview!
We got married at The Grandview in the outdoor ballroom in May 2019. What can I say that hasn’t been said?? These guys are incredible!! Sonia was our bridal attendant and she never missed a beat! She kept us fed, hydrated, and with a fresh d...
rink in hand. Victor was our maitred and I truly can’t think of one moment that went wrong!! They set up the obscene number of lanterns and packed them up for me the next day. Our guests LOVED the food, the service and of course the atmosphere. Thank you for the wedding of our dreams!
Response from the Vendor on 07/14/2019
Thank you for the review. We are so glad that you loved your wedding day.
Where to start? We are beyond happy with The Grandview. Our wedding was so much fun, and the process incredibly easy thanks to the talented, and attentive staff. From the beginning, Margaret and Melissa were accommodating, patient, and walked ...
us and our families through the whole thing. Our Maitre d (Debbie) and wedding attendant (Shady) were incredible ( I wish we have taken them home!). The baker Casey outdid herself with the many gluten free variations we requested. The chocolate cake was perfectly moist, sweet, and no one could tell it was GF. I'm having a piece as I type this and it is still delicious. If you're looking around for venues, we highly recommend The Grandview. They have many years of experience and will work with you to make your day as special as you imagined and beyond. Not to mention, the VIEW is to die for. By the way, we had a day wedding, and were a little nervous about the energy not being that of an evening event, but it did not matter one bit! People were dancing, drinking, and enjoying. Thank you to everyone at The Grandview from Jules answering all my questions on the phone, to Shady offering me food and water at all times, to Melissa running through the rehearsal, to the gentleman running the trolley. We cannot thank you enough.

Lucia, what a beautiful review. You & Bennett were a pleasure to work with. We are glad that you enjoyed your experience with our staff. We all love what we do because of clients like you! Congratulations!
The best decision we made during our planning process was booking the Grandview as our wedding venue. From the moment we walked in the door, Margaret took care of us and made us feel like the entire planning process would be a breeze, which it ...
really was!. Everyone at the Grandview was friendly and consistently professional - they are pro’s and know what they’re doing down to a science. As we considered other venues, we kept coming back to the Grandview because we both felt like we would be taken care of best there, the planning process would be easiest, and our guests would be happiest. You also get a TON value for your investment at the Grandview - so much was included and we never felt like there was pressure to add on additional things (even though we did), which is a testament to Margaret and what a great job she does at meeting you where you are and helping you to plan the most meaningful day of your life. Weeks after our wedding, people are still commenting on how beautiful the venue was, how amazing and DELICIOUS our cocktail hour was (and how much awesome food there was in general), and what a great party we threw. Huge thank you to Angel and Shady, who took such amazing care of us and ensured everything went completely smoothly throughout the night. We cannot recommend the Grandview more highly - it is the complete package and you will not be disappointed.

Vanessa, thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed the planning process with us and loved your wedding day. Congratulations to you both!

Thank you for the review :-)
Where do I even begin? The Grandview was absolutely amazing from the very beginning when we toured the venue up until the very end. The Grandview made our wedding day so special. Despite the rain it was still everything we had hoped for and m...
ore! It was the best day ever! The Grandview made it all happen. First, we had the pleasure to have Margaret as our coordinator and she helped us plan every last detail so flawlessly. I truly enjoyed telling her all of our wedding planning highlights and freak outs lol. Second, Sonia our Bridal attendant was the absolute best! I like to call her a ninja as she kept appearing out of no where with margaritas, water, and even found my flip flops. She made me feel at ease and that is something I’ll truly never forget. Last, Angel our Maitre D' what else can I say but OUTSTANDING. He is the absolute best and I’m not just saying that because he provided us with the most beautiful flowers. He was with us EVERY step of the way and made the night run smoothly. From my pre walking down the aisle nerves, to finding my bouquet to toss, to finding my marriage certificate he was an actual ANGEL. The food and service was so outstanding our guests are still talking about it two weeks later. We had so much fun we almost wish we were a guest at our own wedding lol.
We just had our wedding April 6th and our guests could not stop raving about their wonderful experience at The Grandview. From the very first visit and tour with Melissa, Hector and I knew it was the best choice for us to host our special day....
Absolutely everyone on staff is polite, knowledgeable, professional, well organized and ready to help you. Choosing The Grandview honestly felt like having an extension of my bridal party. They answered any and all of our many questions, gave suggestions but were focused on the fact that in the end it was about us and the things that we wanted and on the day of executed flawlessly! I have to give some major recognition to Sonia on their staff as well who was with me the day of the wedding and assisted with so much. She is amazing at her job and a major asset to the Grandview. Planning a wedding is hard but The Grandview and their staff make it so easy...I had a stress and worry free experience from the start and I highly recommend them not just for weddings but for any event you are thinking about having!

Sarah, we loved working with you and you had a beautiful day. We love sharing your wedding photos.
The Grandview was perfect from the moment we first visited until the moment we left. It always felt like home, the staff was amazing and we truly had the best wedding experience there. Our guests are still talking about the cocktail hour months...
later, they do an amazing spread. I wish I could go back and spend the day again!
We could not be happier with our experience at the Grandview!!
The entire staff was so fantastic to work with and really made our dream wedding a reality! Margaret, Janelle and Melissa were so great and responsive and really took all of our id...
eas and executed them in the best way!
The food was OUTSTANDING! You should absolutely attend a tasting event before your wedding, you will not regret it!
The operations day of were perfect and each and every member of the team was so in tune with amazing customer service.
We are beyond happy to recommend The Grandview for your wedding venue, you will be SO HAPPY you did! (If we could give more than 5 starts we absolutely would, it was THAT good!)
Margaret was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout. We had an amazing day and we certainly chose a tremendous venue. Would recommend to anyone!
We could not be happier with our experience at the Grandview this weekend for our wedding. The staff is beyond amazing to work with and they made our dream wedding a reality. Our guests did not stop raving about the place all night.
Our experience at the Grandview was AMAZING. We HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here if you're even just slightly considering it! If we could give 10 stars we would.
Janelle was a STAR from the very first meeting we had and truly the mo...
st welcoming, warm, and generous guide through the process of planning the many, many details. When anything became the slightest bit stressful I would quickly send my questions to Janelle and she would respond right away - instantly calming any of my anxieties. She worked wonderfully with both my fiance and mom :) who played large roles in the decision making processes and helped us identify the best possible vendors for our event. We LOVED our tasting and STILL receive TONS of rave reviews from guests about the food/ staff/ and the beauty of the venue itself. We got married on October 11th and although it rained the entire day :P, it didn't affect the flow and beauty of every moment in the SLIGHTEST - they work like the most *elegant* yet well-oiled machine at the Grandview and quickly set up our ceremony under the tent (and seamlessly switched it back over to the regular seated reception area while all of the guests were in cocktail hour). ENDLESS THANKS TO SHADY (so sorry if I am misspelling it!)* OUR INCREDIBLE HEAD SERVER who was by our sides the entire night for absolutely ANYTHING we needed [including but not limited to; helping with the 32 part bustle of my dress (LOL), making dishes of cocktail hour food for Andres and I since we were taking lots of photos during that time and asking us - without ever being too much - if we needed a new drink or any help!]. The entire event could not have been more perfect. <3 THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE GRANDVIEW STAFF!!!
