Our wedding at The Historic Thayer Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way: truly the best day of our lives. It was magical and perfect. We had multiple guests tell us that th...is was the best wedding, with the best food, that they had ever attended. All of our servers and bartenders were incredible, everyone attending to our wedding made it feel like we were the only event happening on West Point. Our maitre d’ (Talia) could not have been more thoughtful, kind, and attentive: every detail that we had shared with Casey was executed with precision.
We had our wedding at the Cadet Chapel and arranged for our guests (who opted into it) to take a West Point Tour between the ceremony and the reception, and then dropped them back to the hotel.
Our Cocktail hour was on the back lawn, the Pershing Patio, and in the Pershing Room. The Thayer Hotel’s Banquet Team ensured that our custom made signage (we provided the stands as well) were put in locations that helped direct our guests, and the setup of the cocktail hour with The Hotel's beautiful gold champagne shelf next to our seating chart, was a fabulous way to ensure that our guests could quickly grab some champagne while looking at the chart.
Our Reception was in the Washington Ballroom, and with the gorgeous sweeping view of the river, indoor-outdoor access, we felt like we were in a fairytale wedding surrounded by our friends, family, and a team of wedding professionals who truly cared about us and our guests. We made it a whole wedding weekend, the Rehearsal Dinner was scheduled to be on Zulu Time (it rained out, so it was moved inside to a rain back-up location), we had a bridal breakfast in the Eisenhower Bridal Suite as the bridesmaids got ready, while our guests enjoyed breakfast on their own in MacArthur’s Riverview Restaurant, and then even after the wedding, our guests continued the party at Zulu Time. We were able to directly link our private hotel room block to our wedding website, and could manage and track the reservations with our special login.
From the event coordination, room reservations, to valet, check-in, to housekeeping, several incredible culinary experiences over the weekend, and the most attentive day-of wedding professionals, our wedding, and wedding weekend, was perfect. Our wedding was a dream come true at The Thayer Hotel. Our wedding was made extra special by these amazing humans who cared about our wedding like it was for one of their own family members: Casey, Talia, Alison, Jennifer, Marie, Diane, Juliette, Jamal, Victor, Chris, Samantha, Daphne, Jeff, Dan, Victor the bartender, Rosa, Chris, Ginoh, Anne and Erin.
