Kittle House was a great choice for our international, destination August wedding. We were looking for a venue close to NYC so it can easily accommodate our overseas families and f...riends, mostly flying into JFK, and transportation (train + cab) was a breeze even for those who didn’t drive. The venue felt very special from the start, historic inn gives it relaxed, but stylish look, different from a regular catering hall. We especially enjoyed the garden, lush greenery and perfect views for outdoor ceremony setup. We were going for classy, yet laid-back, garden party ambience, with a killer after party, and all our wishes came true because of amazing support and accommodations of Kittle House staff, in particular our coordinator Kimberly Ann. Since it was a destination wedding for us, we planned almost everything by email, and Kimberly was always there for us, very creative, attentive and responsive. We only visited the venue a few times before the wedding, but each was a great treat, we felt truly welcome. On site restaurant is great and worth a separate visit. Kimberly was extremely thoughtful and creative in incorporating traditions from our cultures and accommodating the needs of the international guests. Kittle House is very open to adding any spice to your event: we had outside vendor Chinese desserts delivered, a s’mores roast, a late night campfire party and even our own hookah for the afterparty. The venue felt truly the best of both worlds, with comfort of all-inclusive venue (gorgeous in-house linens, flowers and decor, and awesome food + planning expertise) and creativity and flexibility of bespoke event planning. Inn rooms were a great plus, everyone definitely appreciated the opportunity to prepare in large stylish rooms (we even did family photos inside), and going straight to bed at the end of a long night. The wedding day was a breeze with coordination and support of our planner, maitre’d and event coordinator. We really didn’t need to hire a wedding planner since Kittle House team did the job perfectly. The food, from entrees to desserts, was amazing, and the day was so stress-free that even us (bride and groom) managed to get to try everything! Venue took great care of vendors, guests, and the newlyweds themselves, making sure we were fed, hydrated, and knew what’s going on. The end of the party was great too -- Kittle House staff collected all our belongings from the reception area during the afterparty in the Inn Bar, and brought those to our room, packing next morning was so easy. We are so excited to refer the venue to our friends, and will be coming back to the restaurant when traveling in Upstate NY.
