il hour and the short rib entree for dinner. Rebecca was helpful, communicative, and organized. From day one when we toured, she was prompt and knowledgeable. Throughout the whole year we planned, she was constantly in touch. Our planning meetings were always super productive and I knew after each meeting what had to be worked on to be prepared for the next meeting. Our rehearsal went smoothly and was also very organized so we knew what to expect on the wedding day. All of the other staff were also great and nice! Emily, our bridal attendant, was extremely kind and helpful, doing little things like dress train holding and veil holding. She continuously checked on us throughout the night.
The venue itself has beautiful grounds, great getting ready spaces, and a fantastic newly renovated reception space. The venue holds a timeless and local charm to it. Overall, an amazing venue with fantastic staff.

In our search for a wedding venue, no other location in the area seemed to offer the personalized experience that we found at the Powelton Club.

a perfect backdrop for our celebration. Their indoor event space easily accommodated our 120 guests with plenty of room for a large dance floor and photobooth. There was a good flow to the room throughout the whole evening. When it came to designing our custom menu there were so many amazing selections to choose from. Our guests raved about how delicious all the food and drinks were and the open bar kept the fun going all evening! The clubhouse manager Rebecca has been a true professional to work with and guided us through the planning process to ensure we had the most successful event. She was very responsive to any emails and made us feel comfortable to ask any questions we had during our in person planning meetings. I would highly recommend The Powelton Club to anyone looking to host an event in the Hudson Valley!!

lent service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met and that our guests felt taken care of.
One of the highlights of our wedding was undoubtedly the food. It was simply outstanding. From the delicious appetizers to the mouthwatering main course, every dish was prepared with precision and care. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the flavors and presentation. In fact, the Powelton club even went the extra mile and accommodated the food allergies of some of our guests, ensuring that everyone could enjoy the celebration without any worries.
What impressed us most was the attention to detail and personalization. They made sure to stock our favorite wine, which truly made us feel special. The elegant ambiance of the club added an extra touch of sophistication to our wedding day, and our friends are still talking about how unforgettable the entire experience was.
We can't recommend the Powelton club enough for anyone considering a wedding venue. From the exquisite food to the exceptional service and stunning surroundings, they exceeded all of our expectations. Our special day wouldn't have been the same without them. Thank you, Rebecca and team, for making our wedding a dream come true!

We just got married at The Powelton Club on August 26, 2023. Five stars does not even being to describe our experience. From day one, after speaking with Rebecca, we knew this was ...
the perfect place for us. Rebecca is so good at what she does here, we knew we were in the right hands. She helped us to create the wedding of our dreams, all while having the patience of a saint! We were looking for a place that resonated peace and comfort while still having an upscale yet not overly flashy vibe. The Powelton Club exudes a sophisticated old world charm feel without feeling stuffy. It's beautiful and classy and we really didn't have to purchase a lot in "extras" to decorate. The members there do a lot of decorating with flowers as well, and if you like the color scheme that they create for the season you can keep them in your space for the day, at no charge. We chose to use the current pieces and we could not have made a better choice. The flowers complimented our color scheme beautifully, and the fireplace decor was stunning! We decided to have our ceremony in front of the fireplace and it was truly magical. With Rebecca's help, we were able to have the ceremony the way we envisioned - and it was perfect. Now let's talk food... We were allowed to choose several delicacies from a wide array of really delicious offerings, in addition to two stations of our choice as the hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour. They were deliciously and expertly prepared and served by the great staff, and our guests immediately felt welcomed. We chose to do a buffet style dinner, with a viennese table for desserts in addition to our wedding cake, which was also included in our package. The cake vendor that The Powelton Club uses did an amazing job on the cake - 5 stars for her too! We can't stress enough that the food was absolutely delicious! We keep hearing from our guests about how really tasty all of the food was. And it truly was. We just honestly can't say enough about how truly fantastic our experience was planning our wedding with Rebecca at The Powelton Club. Every single detail of our wedding day was perfect. From the setting and ambience, to the ease of planning for our special day here, not worrying at all if our guests will enjoy the place or the food as much as we did, working with an amazing staff of true professionals like Rebecca (sometimes Erica too) Nina, my Bridal Attendant for the day, all of the really great wait staff...just perfection-every single detail. Thank you Rebecca and the awesome staff at The Powelton Club for making our day unforgettable. It truly was the wedding our our dreams!

I would recommend this venue for a wedding and actually any event because if my wedding was this amazing I can imagine how great any other event would be here. Thank you so much Rebecca and the powelton club.

y detail the day of. We would not change a single thing. After looking at multiple venues and what’s included in the cost, the Powelton was a no brainer for us. Rebecca in a sense also acts as a day of coordinator ensuring all set up, timelines stay on track, and most importantly that you enjoy your wedding day, free of stress.
The wedding itself was everything we wanted. As huge foodies with a passion for wine, we did a four coursed dinner with wine pairing. This was the first wine paired wedding dinner the Powelton had done and it was superb. It’s 3-months later and we still have people telling us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. To include our close friend who works for the biggest cattle ranching company in the US… he said the steak was some of the best you can find.
My husband and I cannot recommend the Powelton enough. Along with all their recommended vendors.

There is something special about the Powelton Club that just has to be seen to be believed! We wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding day and wish we could do it all over again!!

It’s simple: this is one of the best wedding venues in America. My husband and I have been to dozens of weddings and venues across the United States and Europe over the years, but ...
very few come close to matching the top-tier blend of quality, communication, and sheer excellence that Rebecca and the team at the Powelton Club bring to the table!
Venue: The venue is gorgeous inside and out – classy, elegant, and packed with unique historical tidbits dating back to the 1880s! Our guest list was about 90 people, and the main building hosted our guests with plenty of room to spare while modifying the space to still make the interactions feel intimate and meaningful.
Staff: The staff are sublime – they were so kind and accommodating while also maintaining professionalism and supporting the classy atmosphere of each evening. We had both our rehearsal dinner and reception at the club, and we were completely satisfied with everything!
Food: The food is amazing! I don’t know how they do it, but I really can’t emphasize this enough. We’re still strongly considering renewing our vows or something every year or so for the sole purpose of coming back and enjoying the food at the Powelton Club (also love, yes that is important too!). We have been to weddings in wonderful locations all over the place, but often we find that a large expense for a unique/special venue comes at the cost of quality food. Not so at the Powelton Club—you get both for a great price and its frankly incredible. There was a tremendous amount of options for hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and each meal course – any taste and/or preference could be met! They were even so kind as to ensure that there were vegan options for a few of our guests. This is one of those things that can make or break a wedding, and the Powelton Club just casually knocked it out of the park.
Communication + Management: While every aspect of the Powelton Club was superb, the true hero of the entire event was the Clubhouse Manager Rebecca! From our first conversation with her she was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful! Since we do not live in the area, Rebecca kindly showed our parents around the venue while we joined in over FaceTime. When COVID 19 forced us to postpone our wedding, she graciously rescheduled us for the following year. Her organization and professionalism were indispensable throughout the entire event, and it made the entire process virtually seamless! She was so flexible with any changes we needed to make, and she offered her expert advice freely as needed. Having never planned a wedding before, her guidance was very much appreciated!
Closing Thoughts: Take it from us: you won’t find a better wedding venue in all of New York. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their meals and what a wonderful venue the Powelton Club is. We are so grateful for Rebecca and all the staff at the Powelton Club for making our wedding such a wonderful time! We are proud to give the Powelton Club our highest possible recommendation to anyone looking for an exceptional experience!

I honestly can’t say enough about The Powelton Club. THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!!! I was able to get a last minute availability, giving me about three weeks to plan an entire surprise eng...
agement party. Rebecca was absolutely amazing with contacts for florists and bakeries or anything else I needed and being the go-between to set up deliveries etc. Gathering all of the contact information she had right at her fingertips would’ve taken me at least a week and it still might not have had such a great out come because she has a great reputation at these places . We were able to load in all of our stuff the day before the party as to not be stressed running around the day of. With her assistance I was able to get the most amazing centerpieces from a florist that usually only does weddings but did this for us because of Rebecca. The florist also set up the centerpieces on the table and took some things I brought in to use with the centerpieces and set those up for me as well. They also threw in a beautiful corsage and boutonniere as a surprise gift. Rebeccas eye for decor was spot on and her knowledge of event planning is beyond compare. She gives you her honest opinion on all different areas but does not force her opinion (but I must say take everything she says into serious consideration because she was pretty much always right). When we showed up to start decorating her and the staff had already pulled everything out from storage and had it in the appropriate spots to make for quick work. With her assistance I was able to pull off an amazing party and I honestly had no concerns because I knew I could trust her and the staff. She was amazingly patient and extremely accommodating. I showed up there like a tornado with 1000 ideas and extremely stressed on how to implement everything and she kept me calm and guided me. She honestly was amazing. I can’t say enough about the staff either. They were as attentive, accommodating and professional at this party as you would expect at an large elegant wedding.
Erica was in charge of the staff on the night of the party and she was also just as incredible. She was so supportive, helpful, and attentive. She kept everything on track, was always checking in and communicating and made everybody feel so welcome. She was incredibly patient and helpful at cleanup and not rushing us out the door.
Their options for cocktail hour, hors d’oeuvres, main entrées and desserts are some of the best options I’ve seen. We had everything from raw oysters, avocado toast, crepes and lamb chops to sashimi, sushi, a chef run carving station and a whole Italian station just to name some of the amazing food we had. They work with an amazing bakery for specialty cakes and have options like ice cream sundae bars and sweet crepe stations to name a few. And I must say for the immense amount of food that we had the prices were very reasonable. Rebecca also was not one to try to push extra food just to make more money. She guided me perfectly to the appropriate amount. I honestly could keep going on and on about this place. It went from being a potentially extremely stressful process to having such strong confidence in their abilities that I was able to take a breath and really enjoy myself. I highly recommend this venue..

We were ecstatic about our wedding at The Powelton Club. It was just spectacular in every way -- we could not have been happier. We heard many compliments about the club from our ...
guests during the wedding, and we continue to hear more all the time. On top of everything else, the club is very affordable; we got terrific value for our money.
The club’s event planner, Rebecca Caldarella, is simply the best! She is supremely organized but not the slightest bit overbearing. She helped us lay out an event schedule at the outset, explained everything we needed to know, recommended terrific vendors, gave us excellent advice on other matters, took notes on every detail, sent us copies of her notes and updated us in writing every time our own plans changed, kept everything on track with the calmest tone and the gentlest guiding hand, handled several last-minute adjustments with total flexibility, and made herself available to answer all our questions promptly and patiently. During the wedding itself she was almost invisible but made sure everything flowed seamlessly. Rebecca is a pro and a true gem.
The bridal attendant provided by the club also did a terrific job. She made sure both of us had food and drinks throughout the evening, and as if by magic was at my elbow every time I needed anything.
The food was fantastic, but we weren’t surprised after our delicious tasting session a few weeks before the wedding. Our guests, on the other hand, were amazed. They raved! More than a few guests told us this was the best food they had ever been served at a wedding, and one of our guests – a caterer himself, who has provided the food at countless weddings – was particularly impressed. We were busy taking pictures during the cocktail hour so we didn't have much time to enjoy the appetizers but those we did try were superb. Our guests loved the appetizers (we heard about the lambchops and the wrapped asparagus from quite a few people), and we also heard great reviews of the bartenders and the drinks. We didn't have much time to eat during the reception either, but the club’s staff sent us home with containers of each entree, which we enjoyed tremendously in the days after the wedding.
The club’s beautiful space was perfect for our ceremony and reception. We wanted our ceremony indoors so we wouldn't have any weather concerns, and the room was lovely. I feared that perhaps moving 120 guest chairs out of our ceremony space during the cocktail hour would be cumbersome or disruptive, but it was handled so quietly and efficiently that we were standing in the middle of it and didn't even notice. Our guests all fit very comfortably into the reception space, the staff handled the buffet dinner smoothly and efficiently, and the dance floor worked well with plenty of room. The "get ready room" was a lovely space for me to use before the ceremony, and our babysitter made good use of it during the reception when the young children needed a bit of distraction.
Minutes after the wedding ended, the staff had a cart loaded with all our wedding decor ready for us to place in our car. As a result, we were home in no time, exhausted but thrilled with how everything ha gone.
Many of the the Powelton Club's staff have been there for years and years, and their experience shows. They have a very finely-tuned operation. We were lucky to have found this venue, and are grateful that they helped make our wedding day so perfect.

nd her husband decided to get married only about seven months prior to the date, so planning and organizing were expected to be a daunting task. But not with Rebecca as the coordinator! Rebecca is the consummate professional: she is knowledgeable and patient, giving us excellent ideas all the way through the process, including lists of all vendors we would need (and some we didn’t realize we needed). On the wedding day, she and Amber made sure that the bride and groom (and the bride’s mother--me) had absolutely everything we needed to enjoy the night. The venue is gorgeous—classy, warm and inviting, set on lovely grounds and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was exceptional – I am still getting texts about that! I expected that things would go smoothly, given the attention to detail that Rebecca displays, but the night exceeded my highest expectations. I strongly suggest that if you are planning a wedding, you book the Powelton Club!

Rebecca and the rest of the staff at The Powelton Club helped make my wedding happen a few nights ago, and it was everything I could have imagined. Rebecca helped with everything f...
rom the initial planning stages, coming up with ideas, suggesting not only what types of vendors to use, but specific vendors, and helped keep everything moving on the day of the wedding. Rebecca responded to all my (and there were quite a lot) emails very promptly, and made sure my new wife and I had everything we needed. Everything from the food to the ceremony setup was great, and the staff at TPC made everything work seamlessly. The only thing I would recommend is to get a DJ as the venue's speakers were a little bit low, but they still worked for our needs since we didn't have a DJ and people still danced.
I would definitely recommend Rebecca and the rest of the The Powelton Club's staff for anyone's future wedding or other party. All my needs were met quickly and efficiently, and the staff were able to keep everything moving on the big day. I felt like Rebecca was able to explain everything that was happening quickly and concisely so there wasn't any confusion.

TPC is an elegant, historic venue with beautiful grounds, however its the extraordinary service that sealed the deal for this review. Rebecca and TPC staff were truly exceptional i...
n every way! Our family and friends are still raving about the professional, friendly service and outstanding quality of the food & drink.
Our wedding day ran smoothly thanks to Rebecca's proactive planning, organization and communication skills. Rebecca helped us understand pandemic rules and navigate day-of hurdles like 100% chance of rain and a mid-reception bustle failure.
My husband and I highly recommend TPC!

P.S. As with any venue, try to book ~12 months ahead if you are looking for a specific date.

upcharge. Best of all, you get Rebecca. She's the event coordinator at the Powelton and she will make you feel so prepared for your big day. When I got married, I felt so happy and excited. There weren't any nagging worries lingering because I knew she had everything buttoned up. Rebecca is approachable and easy to talk to so you never have to worry about peppering her with questions. The Powelton is a cute and cozy venue with a giant bar and plenty of space to walk around. The food is phenomenal and they even have a contract with a local bakery so you don't need to worry about picking up your cake. This isn't a wedding factory or a stuck-up resort. It's a friendly, warm environment with professional people who are great at their jobs. Go check it out!

ving her honestly took so much of the load off of our own shoulders. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the actual day because we knew she was already taking care of everything. Amber, our bridal attendant, was so sweet and attentive to our needs and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. All of our guests, including our highly-opinionated mother, commented on how great all of the food was, which is something that’s not easy to come by when it comes to weddings, from our own experience. The venue itself was obviously breathtaking, especially if you can catch it at sunset, and made for amazing photography. I highly recommend The Powelton Club to anyone who is looking for a venue for their special day.

as like pulling teeth, she kept replying how “hard” it is to have ceremonies on certain days of the week. The last email stated she wasn’t sure they would be accommodating “non-members”. At that point, I already knew my business was not wanted.

e had a few minor issues, but my husband and I didn't even know about them until the end of the night. Rebecca (and the bridal attendant Amber) were so focused on ensuring that my husband and I had everything we needed - we never needed to go to the bar, and Rebecca ran interference to ensure that we had time to eat. Rebecca ensured that the entire space was perfectly set up, and completely eliminated the need to hire an additional day-of-coordinator.
The food was amazing - we had so many guests tell us that they haven't had better wedding food. The space was beautiful, and the entire Powelton team was thoughtful and helpful throughout the day, often going out of their way to help make the day absolutely perfect.

This is a day that I will never forget thanks to The Powelton Club, Rebecca Caldarella and crew which made this a flawless event for us. This venue takes the cake!

g with the immediate family. Although it was a very small number, the attention to detail was no less than what you would expect If you were hosting a larger gathering. The service was terrific and the food was fabulous, all done within a save environment that everyone felt comfortable with. They were married up on the hill under the big tree, a romantic setting. At the end of the night, my daughter and son in law said it was the absolute perfect day. I couldn’t agree more and to a parent that was music to my ears. Thank you, Rebecca !

sure how, where or when that could happen safely. From our first conversation with Rebecca, we were totally put at ease. In just six weeks, she helped us plan a gorgeous and perfect ceremony and dinner with our immediate family all while following the safety protocols.
No matter that the wedding was only ten guests, the level of service that we received throughout the planning process and day-of from Rebecca and everyone at The Powelton Club was incredible.
The venue itself is classic and the grounds make for beautiful photos and a ceremony location. To top it off, everyone was raving about the food and the level of service during dinner.
It was such a special and intimate evening that would not have been possible without the kindness, patience, and guidance of Rebecca and her team. It is a day that our families will remember forever and we are so grateful. We cannot recommend this venue enough.

and inviting fireplace.
Our main factor in deciding on the Powelton club was their on-site wedding planner Rebecca. She was available night and day to answer any questions we had. She is truly a gem in the wedding industry!
The Powelton Club has adhered to all CDC COVID-19 related guidelines insuring both guest and staff safety. If you're still looking to proceed with your wedding during all the craziness, this is a great venue to consider.

ea for our wedding. The Powelton was one that I had found through The Knot and I’m so glad that I did. We scheduled a visit and upon arrival felt as if we had walked into a classic Ralph Lauren catalog. From the massive bar that you can cozy up to, to the fire places, the venue was just classic and perfect for us. In addition, from our first phone call, Rebecca Caldarella made our wedding planning process all the much easier. She was calm, organized and well versed on anything and everything wedding oriented. She was patient with my many emails, date requests and multiple visits. She sat and planned our reception start to finish with finesse that alleviated much of my anxiety. I could not have asked to find a more picture perfect location or picture perfect coordinator.

We got married at the Powelton on December 22nd, 2019. Rebecca and her team are truly professional and take pride in making your day extra special. She was there every step of the ...
way with our changes and questions. The venue was fully decked out for the holidays and it was absolutely beautiful. TheY truly take care of the bride and groom—- sometimes a little too much as our food was picked up too quickly when we were on the dance floor, but that’s partially our fault! From start to finish our day was truly magical and we can’t thank the Powelton enough. I recommend this venue 100% to any bride and groom!

et able to be personalized. BONUS, not a lot of people know about this gem so your guests will have a new experience.
The staff is beyond amazing! Amazing at every step, at every level. Working with Rebecca on the planning was very helpful. not only did she address things that weren't even on my radar, but when issues arose they were delt with quickly and appropriately. it was a huge weight off my mind just knowing I had such an amazing person working with us to make our day special. everything from getting ready in the morning to the afterparty (also held there) was taken care of and coordinated with our vendors.
kitchen, bar, and waitstaff are attentive and positive. the food was incredible. yes, a bride that ate at her wedding 😱 know why? because the amazing staff brought food to me and then brought my groom so we could have some food and a break; amazing!
everyone was very helpful (staff that happened to be around helped me unload my car of decorations), attentive, polite, and welcoming. our guests had an amazing time and we had the best day of our lives.

the best wedding they ever attended. Every time we had a question or request Rebecca had a solution. Debbie was a great personal host. The food was fabulous. The facility is very classy. The organization during the event was perfect. And, not to leave out, the price was within our conservative price range!!! If you live in this part of the country and do not consider this venue, you are making a mistake!!

ork with, friendly, approachable, accommodating,professional,dependable, but most of all she delivered the level of service promised and went above and beyond to ensure that she did
Most of our planning happened via emails since I was not living in New York. Rebecca was very prompt with her responses and gave good honest opinions and suggestions. She was very helpful and engaged in our event. I always felt a sense of ease dealing with her; which is what every bride needs.
I had lots of international guest travel to our wedding from Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Belize. They were all completely impressed with the appetizers and the dinner selections. I received the most wonderful compliments such as " this is the best food we have ever had at a wedding!" The service was impeccable, drinks were constantly flowing, the food was served to time and hot and every table had, what appeared to me, as it's own attendant making everyone feel special.
Chris went above and beyond to get me a specific rum for my guest who traveled from Belize. A rum that they specifically drink which was not on the bar list. Thanks so much Chris.
Would also like to thank Debbie, my personal attendant , who took care of all my needs before ,during, and after the actual ceremony. She was there for me right up to the end of the reception.
As for the venue itself, the views outdoors especially in the fall are breathtaking. The grounds were impeccably kept creating beautiful photo opportunities. The clubhouse itself is elegant and the huge fireplace promises great family portraits.
I will forever be thankful and grateful to the staff of the Powelton for making my wedding day everything and more I could have dreamed off.
It was absolutely fabulous!!!!!!!!!
