Tom and I were married at the Union Church of Pocantico Hills on June 22, 2024. We had about 100 guests, who filled the church. Our reception occurred in the parish hall and on the lawn outside the church.
Natasha was wonderful to work with from the very beginning to the day of our wedding. We both felt very well supported and taken care of. She was organized and calm all the way, staying in touch and helping us remain focused. Any question that arose, she had (or went and found) the answer to. She suggested a few things we would not have thought of, and her suggestions were always helpful.
She guided us every step of the way during the ceremony and the reception. After our months of planning, it was a relief to place the details of the day – stand here, enter the church now, start serving the food now – in her hands. As Tom said, “Once I got to the church I did whatever Natasha told me to do. I had no worries, no nerves, and no uncertainty because she had thought of just about everything.”
The Union Church, the church hall, and the grounds were perfect for what we had in mind. They were magical, elegant, and warm. Our guests commented on the beauty of the sanctuary, especially (of course) the magnificent stained glass windows. The hall, where our reception took place, has a classic feeling, like something from a 1930s movie. Our musicians played on the stage; everyone could see and hear them, and they were not in the way of the guests.
Reverend Patricia Callahan met with us several times to ensure we had the type of ceremony we wanted. She welcomed our suggestions to inform her remarks; as a result, her words on that day reflected exactly who we are.
Tom and I had a wonderful wedding experience and wish we could do it all over again!.

We had our wedding here recently and could not have been more pleased. The building, Chagall windows and grounds are stunning. It's an intimate setting on a beautiful wooded lot and in proximity to many hotels and other amenities. Natasha assisted us in coordinating and managing the details and was able to provide suggestions for vendors as we live out - of - state.
Our guests couldn't stop talking about how lovely the whole day was and the venue. We were also able to have the convenience of continuing with the reception on - site. Natasha even facilitated a child care provider to entertain our grandkids. It was a perfect day!

It was a beautiful day filled with love, attention to detail and so many special moments we were able to customize. The staff was extremely flexible and helpful accommodating our ideas. It was a joy to be married in the beautiful sanctuary surrounded by the exquisite Marc Chagall windows and exchange our vows underneath the Henri Matisse Rose Window. We were able to customize the ceremony and had free range to design and create the reception area. Natasha and Bob from Union Church were so supportive and excited to share in the joy of our wedding day.

I fell in love with the Church of Pocantico Hills the first time I saw it 20 years ago. I have loved Chagall my entire life, and to have our wedding in a living museum was a dream come true. We hosted 120 guests in the small stone church. The church and location staff were extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. We specifically worked with Pastor Tricia and she helped us customize our ceremony to be exactly how we wanted it. Everyone was kind, patient and responsive. I couldn’t be more pleased with how the ceremony turned out!

I had passed by the beautiful Union Church many times thinking I’d love to get married there one day, but always thought you had to be a member or know someone as it was the church the Rockefeller family attended. I loved the country church charm and marveled at the beauty of the stained-glass windows by masterful artists Chagall & Matisse. Imagine my surprise, years later, when I found out that anyone is welcome to get married at Union Church! We met the Pastor, toured the Church, and immediately set a date. We continued to attend Union Church, became members, and had our child baptized there. It’s a beautiful, historic, charming, & inviting space.

Hi Dawn,

on Church! You were absolutely correct when you said that you do not need to be a member of our church to have your wedding, baptism, memorial or any event here. So happy that you chose this venue and decided to stay and become a part of the Union Church family. :-)
Sincerely,
Natasha Krishnani
