Ryan Family Farm 

5.0

Lagrangeville, NY
  • Venue
  • Up to 165 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $300

The restored dairy barn built in 1828 on a 100 acre, family ran, historic venue with modern-day amenities is nestled in the Hudson Valley, NY. It can host up to 150 guests comfortably inside the barn, with additional space on the deck for cocktail hour and an adjacent lawn area for your ceremony. There is also an additional lounge seating area if some of your guests would like to relax with a bit of quiet time. Antique chandeliers accent the hardwood floors, walls and beams providing the rustic character that compliments the temperature controlled AC and heat to enable us to provide year-round events. In addition to the barn, deck, and ceremony space, the onsite 4 bedroom (7 queen beds) restored farmhouse is included in the venue for the weekend. A Friday check in enables you to prepare yourself for the big day and set up the space in the barn with any decor. The house is yours for the entire weekend for up to 8 guests. It works perfectly as a bridal suite for everyone to get ready.

My husband and I love this place so much and not only because of how beautiful the space truly is but how helpful and extraordinary the Ryan Family Farm staff was in helping us through every step of coordinating our wedding. We had originally planned for a 2020 wedding and when COVID came we knew it would be a challenge to re envision our dream wedding. They went above and beyond what was expected in helping us get it done and in a seemingly effortless way. We loved the cleanliness and comfort of the farmhouse. The proximity to the Barn was extremely beneficial. Tom Ryan accommodated us in many ways and most importantly our families had a great experience. If you are considering the idea of a barn wedding with a touch of class this is the perfect venue. You can put your trust in the staff and assistants at the Ryan Family Farm.

Walden, NY
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,100

Hey there! My name is Nidya and I am a wedding photographer based out of the Hudson Valley, NY but traveling all over. I started this business 6 years ago with the hope that I would be able to have a career based around things I love, which happen to be pretty dresses, sweet vows, and long veils. 6 years later I have been published, traveled all over, and have shot well over 175 stunning weddings!

Nidya Lloyd Photography made our day. I mean- MADE OUR DAY! I can’t speak highly enough about Nidya! Not only are the sneak peak photos she already sent us straight out of a Disney fairytale movie, she helped us plan the whole day from step one. She is bubbly and fun and kept the mood of the day light and fun the entire time. Her photos are light and romantic and freaking beautiful. Book her- seriously no one could ever regret it!

Here With You Photography 

5.0

Middletown, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Rebecca has been working as a professional photographer for over 10 years. She began with a small film camera, taking photos at her favorite concerts. As she grew, so did her unique style and her passion. She attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Ca. and obtained a BA in Advertising Photography. Over the past 10 years she has had the opportunity to photograph events in places such as Portland, Or., San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Monterey, Ca., Washington DC, Florida and now New York City. She frequently travels for her photography and loves every moment.

My wife and I used Rebecca for both our engagement and wedding photos because of how easy to work with and enjoyable the photo shoots were. Not to mention how gorgeous all her work turns out! We’re both camera shy people but this was the most pain-free and happy experience I’ve ever had in front of a camera. Rebecca is great with making sure her client’s needs are met but is also good at going with the flow and making the environment/setting work for her. If I have any other life events that need to be photographed, I know who my only call would be!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

I have reached out to Viviana in 2019 for our wedding in May 2020. She was accommodating and gave us a lot of information and We just clicked right off the bat. Our wedding was postponed due to Covid and she was so helpful along the way and making the rescheduling as easy as possible from her end. We got married July 2021 Viviana was amazing. My fiancé and I are not big in to pictures but Viviana made it easy and the pictures were absolutely amazing. Throughout the entire day guests would comment on hell she was all over the place getting such great pictures. She even got pictures that I had no clue she even took and when I received all of our pictures was amazed at what an amazing job she did. I would recommend her to anyone.

Hi! I'm Sasha, your friendly, wild, crazy and kind floral artist. I specialize in unique florals- mixing dried, foraged and fresh flowers to make a unique creation for your special day. Wedding florals, private events, holiday florals, corporate event installs, storefront, florals and special events…. I am an Ally to the LGBTQ+ community.

I’m obsessed with Sasha! She’s a true visionary. I had a vision and I let her run with it and she truly executed it ten fold. I’m a chef and I wanted fruits and vegetables incorporated into my florals. She accomplished this design in the most classy and elegant way. There were mushrooms, kale, radish, gooseberries and so much more and my guests loved it and found it so unique. It was all in a beautiful jewel tone palate and matched the vibe of my wedding venue to the T. The florals that she used were so vibrant and unique as well, there were even hollographic flowers (anthurium) from a specialized flower house. Above and beyond! My bouquet was the prettiest bouquet I’ve ever seen and guests kept on telling me how impressed they were with my florals and how they were so Eva. Sasha captured me so well and my passion for flowers and food. You will not regret working with Sasha, she is a true force, so talented, communicative and caring.

Exactly what I wanted and I learned the name of my favorite rose (black magic) without specifying it. Ali was professional and approachable throughout the whole process and I felt very taken care of. Its been a year and people are still talking about our magical arrangements and ceremony arch!

Gill was an absolutely wonderful makeup artist for my wedding day. Her prices are more than reasonable, and for the level of skill and friendliness, you definitely get more than your money's worth. Gill is an absolute dream to work with and incredibly kind. I fully believe she can actually do anything. She made me feel so loved and confident on my wedding day and I truly so grateful for her makeup services and her friend Kaelyn's hair services. I will go so far as to say we have continued a relationship outside of my wedding and I currently see her as my hair stylist - she's spectacular in every aspect! You will not regret working with Gill. If I could recommend her to everyone, I definitely will. (** For reference, I had a variety of skin tones in my wedding party and though I was a little worried considering there's not a TON of ethnicity around our parts, Gill did not shy away from making them all beautiful! She was awesome, and I will go back to her every time I need a service.)

VDL Brothers 

5.0

Rhinebeck, NY
  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,500

VDL Brothers began as a farm with a single grower dreaming of providing locally grown, beautiful flowers. Now, we are bringing the produce of that farm to couples who are looking for fresh florals designed with a romantic, whimsical touch. We love to create soft, flowing bouquets, nature inspired arches, creative statement pieces and installations. We give each of our couples a high level of attention to detail, and dedicate our time to two events per month.

My wedding was last month and I am so BEYOND happy I chose VDL Brothers as my florist. Sonja is not only extremely talented but also attentive, reliable, supportive, and consistently went above and beyond to make my wedding flowers and decor special and personalized. My bouquet made me cry (happy tears) when I saw it. As did the boutonnières, wedding party flowers, and decor. Each bridesmaid bouquet, boutonniere and bud vase was unique and intricately done. She really listens to what you want and makes it a reality. During the early planning process she made a personalized event plan complete with my and her own inspiration pics, and kept it updated whenever I needed to make a change. Perhaps the highlight was the Bud Vase wall that she constructed from scratch for my seating chart. It was beyond what you see on Instagram and Pinterest. She also provided a chuppah which was more sturdy and beautiful than any I found elsewhere, and was hands on with managing the set up and take down of all the decor. I was worried about “spending so much on flowers” but honestly the flowers/decor/experience working with her was easily one of my favorite parts of my wedding, and worth every penny and then some. Her pricing is a steal for what you get with her.

We absolutely adored our wedding flowers!!! Working with Rebekah and her team was an incredible experience, and you could really feel her passion for flowers, colors and design in the design calls. We are so honored too that she took on the task to come down to central Jersey for our wedding and undertook her first travel trip. It turned out absolutely beautifully and transformed our church and lakeside reception venue into even more magical places than we could have imagined. Thank you Rebekah and it was such a pleasure having you as our florist!

Ahh you made it this far and I am so happy that you are here. Come get to know me a little bit better… I am a Hudson Valley photographer who occasionally dips their toes in NJ too. Having fun and capturing special moment with your loved ones and families is what makes my day. I am a girl mom to my favorite tiny human RyRy and a fire fighters’ wife and when you don’t see me behind a camera or working my full-time job as a graphic designer, I am usually soaking up the sun at the beach or outdoors doing something fun with my family.

I cannot say enough good things about Katie. Just after the first wedding of the season, I knew Katie was amazing. I didn't HAVE to check-in with her and make sure everything was covered- she was just doing it. It's exactly what you need on a wedding day- someone who can come in, stay in the background, ask questions to learn more, and keep everything flowing when you are tied up. Can't wait to work with Katie again so soon!!

She got my pictures back to me very quickly. I cannot say enough good things about her. Your wedding lasts one day but your pictures last a lifetime. Make sure they are memorable.

We had a pescatarian event and they accommodated the restrictions really wonderfully. We were so thankful to get to work with them, and they really thought of all the details and meaningfully contributed to the day going smoothly (from coordinating wine and water service, to making sure everything was set up in advance).

Hopewell Junction, NY

Here at Mill Creek Caterers we are a private venue. Therefore, you will not share the venue with other weddings or events during your own wedding. Also, depending on the size of your wedding you can have access to the two ballrooms we have here. Along with privacy, we have a beautiful on-site garden where we hold the ceremonies and an outside patio with a fire place. We offer a bridal suite for your wedding day so that the bride is able to touch up during the day. We are located right next to an Inn if guests need rooms close by.

Mill Creek Caterers is one of my favorite venues to Dj at; It's a beautiful venue located in Hopewell Junction with an amazing staff. I have deejayed numerous events there including weddings, holiday parties, birthday celebrations and more. Each time I'm impressed by the staff, the food and how smooth the night flows. There are two floors that are easily accessible from multiple locations, which is a huge plus for a dj unloading and loading equipment. Also the venue has separate areas that allow for guest to transition from each room to the other during cocktail/reception. I highly recommend Mill Creek Caterers. Working with Joan, Carissa & the entire staff has been very smooth with great communication and response time. They are professional, easy to work with and most importantly very prompt. Every time I had a question or needed help they were always ready to assist. Every event has started on time and has flowed effortlessly.

Let’s partner to create the nature-inspired wedding of your dreams—chic enough for your friends, and comfortable enough for your grandparents. Whether it’s a massive party or intimate gathering, the Cedar Lakes property can accommodate as many guests as your event requires, with overnight lodging for over two hundred. Our style blends rustic elegance with nature, so guests enjoy a sleepaway camp vibe with all the luxuries of a 5-star hotel—steaming rain showers and feather down beds included. In-house chefs create seasonal menus with produce grown in our onsite organic garden, while our craft cocktails please any spirit connoisseur. Choose from indoor or outdoor settings to hold your ceremony and reception, each one with a view of tree-lined lakes and stunning mountains. Your wedding weekend package includes full access to the property, including lakes, pools, hiking and biking trails, and bonfire pits. We strive to make certain each wedding is specially tailored to fit the couple.

Cedar Lakes Estate is a slice of heaven on earth. I have had the pleasure of working with Cedar Lakes Estate for the last 5-6 years. Everything that the CLE team does is done with the intention of creating the most magical + memorable experience for their guests. They always put their best foot forward and understand what it takes to produce flawless events. So where do I begin? Food + Beverage: Their delicious food will melt in your mouth and will blow your mind. One of the things that I appreciate about their menus is that it is the farthest from wedding catering. It is so good that I have used them in NYC for events and weddings. Their culinary skills are sharp and they do what they do really, really well. Their menus are approachable but their flavor profiles + presentation are high end. CLE Team: One of my favorite things and strongest asset of CLE is their staff and team. Their serving staff is trained in house and are not random cater waiters. Their staff takes extreme pride in what they do each day and weekend and you can tell. They are invested in the client and in the brand which translates in everything they touch and do. From their management team all the way through to their housekeeping staff their team's hospitality + hard work is consistent. As a planner It's wonderful peace of mind. The Grounds: I like to say that CLE is the Disneyland of wedding venues and each year it gets better and better. I love being able to create unique and personalized events with my couples at CLE because the options are endless when producing an eventful wedding weekend. It doesn't matter what season your event is, there is always something to do for everyone. Accommodations: I mean...they are dreamy! It is such a treat to be able to host so many guests on a property. It changes the dynamic of a wedding weekend when you have the ability to host a large portion of your family and friends onsite. It makes it so much more fun + memorable! Not only are the accommodations comfortable, they are styled beautifully and allow guests to feel like it is a home away from home. The value that you receive from hosting an event or wedding at Cedar Lakes Estate is priceless. Your guests and family will talk about it forever and ever! I know because I have lovely reunions with some of my couples yearly at their dinner series they host. It is a special place and you will know as soon as you step foot onto their property!

Fig & Pig continues to be a creative, quality-driven catering company devoted to showcasing seasonal ingredients and producing exceptional, food-focused events. Our team of professionally-trained chefs cook with dedication and pride to create thoughtful meals that are both comforting and modern. We work closely with our clients to build curated menus and distinctive settings that reflect the personality and vision of their event. At Fig & Pig, the service is as important as the food. Our front of house team drives the success of each event and they take very seriously, the needs of our guests.

My now-husband and I are big foodies! He also works in the restaurant industry, so having great food at our wedding was our top priority. We did a lot of research, looked into all of our venue's recommended vendors, and did tastings with 4 different caterers! Fig and Pig came out on top, not just for the amazing food, but for the team - you could just tell that they really cared about both back of house and front of house, and have put together a team of people who work so well together, who care about the food, have great attitudes and love the wedding business. We loved chatting with Holly at our tasting, and Tammy was on top of every little detail throughout the process. The selection of food was incredible, and they were even open to making customizations. We kept the food coming all night from the Fried Chicken Station at cocktail hour - a crowd favorite, don't miss it! To a late night snack of pretzels and dips, knowing that no one would leave hungry. Our guests are still raving about the food, including our chef friends, saying it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Also, try the family style dinner! Everyone loved the social way the food was served and enjoyed, and our guests are loved getting to try a little bit of everything. Do yourself a favor, and go with Fig and Pig, you won't regret it!

Jhori Jurgenson is a certified makeup artist with over six years in the makeup industry. Immediately following her first month of makeup certification at the Austin School of Spa Technology in 2016, she was hired to work on the Lifetime movie ‘Derailed.’ Following her break into the film circuit, she has worked on several productions and commercial shoots, including ‘The Pretenders’ directed by James Franco, and continues to work on film productions that are filmed in the Hudson Valley.

Jhori was great! She was a joy to work with, easy to communicate with, clear about pricing, on time, prepared, and does natural and glam makeup, just like we wanted. She’s a total pro. I found her online and booked her for our wedding without ever meeting her in person - all based on reviews and an initial conversation with her. I’m so glad we did! We would never have known this before meeting her for our trial and wedding day, but she was a calming presence throughout. On what can be a very hectic day, she was calm, easygoing, and great to talk to, all while doing our makeup quickly and efficiently. Everyone who got their makeup done that day was happy with what she did and their conversation while it was happening. Despite me not knowing much about makeup, she arrived and immediately made it feel like she knew exactly who we are and exactly what we needed. Thank you Jhori! We highly recommend her as a wedding and special events makeup artist!

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Finding a good photographer was high on our priority list for vendors. We got married outside in the Catskill Mountains and as such we wanted a photographer capable of capturing the depth of the forest. After looking through Sam's portfolio we knew she was good, but after working with her and seeing her work firsthand we can say she's the best. Getting your photo taken can be awkward, especially given the high stakes of a wedding. But Sam is able to make you feel immediately comfortable while simultaneously taking the most stunning photos you'll ever see. We also had a connection session with her, which we would highly recommend so that you can know how she works - very fun and relaxed, but professional. Sam helped us outline the entire day of the wedding, and based on her knowledge the day went off without a hitch. We're so grateful she agreed to work with us!

Rob Charles Photography

Wappingers Falls, NY
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style

My name is Robenson Charles, and I am a Haitian born, Brooklyn raised portrait and event photographer from New York. What I do involves the best thing in the world and that's to captivate cherishable moments of life, love, and memories through photography. During this new transition in my life, I learned that photography isn't something you "do", it's something you grow into and boy did it grow! Each day I learned new techniques, researched any information on photography, and took part in classes to strengthen my skills. As a result, this new insight was birthed off of how I visualize the world's most intimate moments and turn it into art.

Rob was sooo amazing! Long story short, we hired him for our wedding but we ended up moving our states wedding to destination. We asked if we can put our deposit towards an engagement shoot instead. He did such an amazing job and he was so prepared day of. He bought his equipment and even a DRONE!! We went to two locations, the American Museum of Natural History and the Castle on the Upper West side of Central Park. He let us be us but also posed us. We felt at ease and taken care of. He sent us back the photos pretty quickly too! 11/10 recommend!!

Every Little Detail Wedding & Event Planning

Red Hook, NY

  • Offers 3 services

Owners Danielle DeFreest and Matt Marvullo opened Every Little Detail in the spring of 2012 with one goal in mind- to create pure and unique moments that are unforgettable. Danielle started out in the service industry as a teenager, and after graduating with a master’s degree in special education, decided to continue her career in service. Matt spent 24 years in the service industry, catering weddings and galas under master-chefs at 5 star venues throughout the country. In 2013 they asked long-time friend Kayla to help them at a wedding, and by the time the reception ended she realized she absolutely loved it. She is now a co-owner.

Every Little Details (ELD) is one of our all-time favorite planners to work with - we've worked with them year after year at every kind of venue including private homes. Regardless of the location, the client needs/personalities, special requests, and various hiccups and unforeseen issues that have come up- ELD always rises to the occasion and preforms seamlessly. It speaks volumes when a vendor is able to problem solve and keep things going without the couple ever even knowing there was an issue and ELD does exactly that. They are so easy and enjoyable to work with. If you have an opportunity to have them on your team (or better yet, leading it)- take it!

Matthew Rigby Photography 

5.0

Garrison, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

I am a wedding photographer with 8+ years experience in the business, although my photographic journey began years before that. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for travel and landscape photography. Today my wedding photography is deeply influenced by the natural beauty found in the scenery around us, as well as the important moments between a couple. I am also a science and math teacher, and I have a background in Marine Biology. I think one reason I am a good wedding photographer is my keen sense of observation and attention to detail! Whenever I have free time I love to cook and travel with my wife, brew beer, and run.

I 100% recommend booking Matthew Rigby as your wedding photographer! He was in the truest sense the definition of a professional. He has all of the qualities that make a wedding photographer amazing. My wife and I were instantly impressed by his organization and communication. He took the time to get to know us over the phone by asking questions about our lives, our story, and what photo theme we were interested in. He had examples on his website for different styles that made our decisions easier. Prior to the wedding, he had an organized and detailed questionnaire that would ensure the wedding day goes smoothly. He made one of the most essential parts of a wedding (photography) so much less stressful on us. On wedding day, he continued to impress us. His organization, positive attitude, ability to stay structured, but also be flexible to our last minute requests was remarkable. We were able to enjoy part of our cocktail hour thanks to his quick work after the ceremony. One of my favorite qualities about Matthew was his ability to capture special moments and allow the bride and groom private and intimate moments to share on the wedding day during the reception. He pulled us aside to capture the most stunning sunset picture that is one of my favorite pictures and moments together! Later in the night, he reminded us again to have a moment outside of the venue to cherish each other as newlyweds, and yet again, captured incredible moments that I will always remember. The quality and artistic nature of Matthew's photos are exactly what you want on your wedding day. We will have these incredible pictures for years! We can tell that Matthew does wedding photography for the right reasons. He spent so much time with the bride and bridesmaids for the getting ready pictures prior to the event. He captured every important moment during the ceremony. He continued to spend hours at our reception capturing the party atmosphere during dancing, cake cutting, and all of the moments I will be able to remember and relive thanks to his attention to detail and experience as a wedding photographer. One unique feature at the end of the night was he printed and framed a few of the best photos from the night and gave them as gifts to the bride and groom, and parents of the bride and groom. Seeing the photos in person so quickly the night of the wedding and having something to take back with us was remarkable. We cannot recommend Matthew more highly. He is a true professional, and the photographs that he took, edited, and delivered to us for download are flawless! You will not regret for one moment booking Matthew Rigby as your wedding photographer!

We got married at "A Private Estate" in October of 2018. We visited the year before, and it was one of the few (and the last) places we looked at. I loved it from the start. The grounds were beautiful, but more importantly, the people were great. I felt like we were dealing with real people who were doing what they do out of both love and pride. They showed us all the options, allowed us plenty of space to decide, and overall gave off good vibes. Our intuition told us this was it, and a year later we were so grateful we listened. After a year of planning an outdoor wedding we found out there would be a nor'easter... in October... with high winds and hail... the day of the wedding (thirty-seven degrees!) When we arrived, on Thursday, I was devastated. I never thought I'd find myself crying over the weather, or caring quite so much, but after all the work that goes in to planning and all the family that had traveled to be with us I felt sick. I thought I would be so sad until the wedding was over but as soon as we stepped out of the car the crew, specifically Jack, turned the whole situation around. He brought us wine and firewood, walked us through the estate, allowed us to use this beautiful tent they had put up, and talked about the set-up and how we could work it all out no matter what happened with the weather. He spoke with me and my mother outside the front house in the windy, chilly weather for maybe an hour, reassuring us that no matter what happened he would figure it out, and he did. The morning of the wedding was rain, wind, hail, etc... but that didn't stop Jack, and our wedding planner Danielle (Every Little Detail), from making sure everything was perfect. We watched them run up and down the hills in the rain, shuffling people, heating the barn, and working so hard on our behalf, and I don't think a single guest really even noticed. All we heard was how beautiful the space was, how much fun everyone was having, how impressed they were. RIpley brought us umbrellas and blankets as waited on the porch during the ceremony and was so welcoming and accommodating. A Private Estate was the perfect venue for us. It is so customizable too, whether you want a fancy & formal affair, or a more relaxed party. The views and the grounds speak for themselves, but the true value is having a supportive staff who care as much about your wedding as you do. Every time I look at my wedding photos (the rain makes for some great lighting!) I remember all the love from our families and friends, and the overwhelming appreciation for the staff at A Private Estate. It is cliche, but if I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing. Two years later I still feel the same gratitude. With A Private Estate you can have the outdoor wedding of your dreams... even in a nor'easter.

He had great recommendations for vendors, was very communicative and accommodating, and made the whole process so easy.

Everyone who works on the property and at the events is the same:) We hosted 90 of our family and friends there for our wedding in June, and were able to host three beautiful events - a casual welcome BBQ, our ceremony and reception, and a goodbye brunch. The whole experience reinforced that we made the right decision in hosting our wedding with them. Everyone who attended raved about the location and that it was the most special wedding they've ever been to - we'd like to think we had something to do with it (!) but honestly most of it had to do with the gorgeous scenery, the laid back vibe, the local flowers and food, and the intimate and rustic barn where we held the reception.

Your wedding day is one of the most important events in your life. Let us customize flowers to your wedding vision and give you the wedding of your dreams. We are a local family owned business that has been part of the community since 1966. From small to large, weddings are our passion. Let us be a part of your special day. Call us to schedule a free consultation or an informal chat as to your floral needs.

The flowers at our wedding were absolutely stunning! My initial meeting with Debbie was wonderful, she is so knowledgable and really listened to me, used my reference photos, and took time to show us photos of work, pull out fresh flowers from the back, and go over every detail (ribbon color and style, pin style, bouquet size, bouquet shape, containers... etc.). I have a huge appreciation for the work that Flowers by Jo-Ann put it because I cannot begin to understand all of the thought/timing and artistry that goes into floral arranging. It is a true art combined with precise planning! I am so appreciative of all the work Debbie did after our initial meeting, which included sharing photos of available flowers and colors with me to get a good sense of what I liked. The entire planning process was transparent. If a particular flower I liked was costly it was discussed upfront immediately. If the season wasn't right for a specific flower I referenced, Debbie let me know immediately and found alternates to work within my color palette that were equally as beautiful. I can't stress what a great experience it was to sit down with Debbie, to have an open discussion, feel like I was listened to, look at photos, look at different flowers, and have a very collaborative experience when creating the vision for our wedding flowers. I felt that everything was customized based on what we liked. I trusted Debbie and the team at Flowers by Jo-Ann and the result was more beautiful than anything we had imagined. Friends and family complimented our centerpieces all night, and one friend said, "This centerpiece is SO YOU, I can't get over it!". I was equally thrilled with my bouquet and loved everything the team put together for us. Thank you so much Flowers by Jo-Ann, you helped make our day absolutely beautiful!

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

We received all of our photos back and couldn't believe how beautiful they are! We love them all and it was so hard to pick what ones went in our album. Every single part of our day was captured so perfectly. We get to relive the day every time we look at them! Alex made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend an engagement session as well- this was great practice and a lovely chance to get to know Alex. Extra perk- great pics for our save the dates! Alex was also just a huge help throughout the entire day. If she is not photographing you, she is behind the scenes assisting to make sure every detail is perfect. She goes above and beyond her role. She's just the best person and photographer! We had the best time working with her and will recommend her over and over again to our friends.

L & L is a bespoke wedding and event floral design studio servicing the Hudson Valley and Catskill regions of NY. We're a couple of flower loving gals with a passionate about creating beauty for life's most celebrated moments. Our designs are a perfect combination of wild and romantic. Lush blooms, textured greenery and foraged elements from our cutting gardens as well as from the wild are what define our natural aesthetic.

Lavender & Leaf is the epitome of floral design and an absolute dream to work with. As a bride, you have a million things to worry about that you’ve NEVER done before! When I met Sarah, I knew immediately I was in great hands. She instantly made me feel at ease as she walked me through her process and educated me on florals, what works together and what is/isn’t in season. I remember walking through my venue the day of the wedding and just seeing it BURST with beautiful blooms and greenery. I got married at a vineyard and her creative genius complimented everything perfectly. I can go on and on but trust me when I say you are in GREAT hands with Lavender & Leaf. I can not recommend them enough!

Hi, I'm Brea- a wedding photographer based out of New York's Hudson Valley, but will gladly travel wherever your love story takes you. My goal is for you to not just 'see' your images, but to really feel them too. That is why building a connection with my clients is so important to me. I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

Brea Warren Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Brea's photos that were romantic and whimsical, and it put us at ease and made the entire process so enjoyable. Her work is truly 1000000/10 - the photos she captured of our special day are beyond stunning. When we had to pivot to an indoor ceremony due to unexpected rain and fog, Brea rolled with the punches seamlessly and found a way to make the beauty of the weather shine through in the most gorgeous way. We also had the pleasure of doing engagement photos with Brea, and they were just as beautiful as the wedding day shots. Brea has been completely wonderful throughout the entire process, and we feel so lucky to have found her to document our love story.

Hi! I'm Maria! I am a New York based fine-art wedding photographer that longs to capture real and authentic love anywhere and everywhere. I say Fine Art because I actually have a fine arts degree in photography. I am a happy wife who mar­ried her high-school sweetheart, an art book hoarder and slightly dog obsessed. I have loved photographing for as long as I can remember.

Maria is an absolute superstar behind the camera! We are blown away by our wedding day previews and engagement session photos. She captured our day perfectly and made us look so cool!! I am most grateful for her calm yet confident demeanor in the less than fun/uncomfortable moments that naturally come with weddings. Going into our engagement session, my husband and I had never been photographed together before, so we were definitely giving awkward couple energy. Maria took her time to talk to us on a personal level until we were relaxed enough to frolic around for our session. Come wedding day, we felt like professionals and being natural behind the camera was easy. She gave us energy when we were lacking it and kept things moving when we needed the push. My husband and I have very sticky family dynamics which gave me a lot of anxiety when it came to photos. But Maria was completely understanding and made that part of the day go off without a hitch. We can't thank Maria enough for all that she did for us over this past year or so. Her work speaks for itself - everything she shoots is absolutely gorgeous. The added benefit to all of the beautiful photos is the amazing, down-to-earth person you get to work with. We highly recommend Maria. You cannot go wrong with using her for your big day!

“The Quintessential Hudson Valley Farm Wedding Venue” Nestled in Quaker Hill, a small hamlet northeast of Pawling, NY, Kirby Hill Farm offers a rustic-styled wedding backdrop on a sprawling countryside. Kirby Hill farm is a unique and beautiful equestrian farm just an hour north of New York City. It offers horse enthusiasts the finest boarding, training & recreational options for nearly every discipline and skill level. The estate is complete with indoor riding arenas, horse barns, paddocks, riding trails, an outdoor event field with observation pavilion and clubhouse. With over 250 majestic acres, you will find yourself surrounded by beautiful outdoor landscapes, a few breathtaking ceremony sites to choose from, and newly renovated barn overlooking our pristine grounds. From intimate celebrations to large formal occasions, Kirby Hill Farm couples farm elegance and modern celebration in a country setting with many picture-perfect spots to capture your special moments.

Kirby Hill Farm is a magical experience. By far my most favorite venue to flower and the most gracious hosts to work with. There is a beauty and authenticity about the farm. Surrounded by rolling hills and wide skies this gem has many perfect backdrops for gorgeous photo ops (think majestic horses grazing in the background and beautifully landscaped grounds to meander). The thoughtfully appointed farmhouse is the right size to accommodate most bridal parties and is also a stellar option for hosting intimate rehearsal dinners in front of the fireplace. The club house is loaded with character: warm wood, stone, and the original barn doors. The barn stands in contrast, industrial in feel with soaring ceilings and oversized glass doors that open up to cocktails on the pavilion overlooking the polo field below. I found tons of inspiration for my design vision right at the farm and the team there was flawless in facilitating my execution. If you love BBQ or beautifully prepared delectable food experiences you should definitely check out the farms exclusive caterer Odeens when you visit the site. Overall just sublime!

Hi! My name is Nelmary Lipinski and I am the owner and head designer at Earthy Elegance Florals. I grew up in the countryside and loved playing in my grandmother’s garden. Dirt and rain became my best friends as these helped me grow beautiful flowers. Surrounded by earth’s elegance, I began to use natural elements such as grass, branches and foliage to add unique designs to my floral arrangements.

We could not have been happier with Nelly’s gorgeous work for our wedding. The florals came out better than we could have imagined. The mix of textures, shapes and colors was perfect. She was such a pro and moved several of the ceremony pieces into our reception space. Her work really made our whole vision come together. She was very communicative and was one of the only florists we spoke to that gave us a written out proposal with inspo images. I would recommend Earthy Elegance to anyone looking for wedding florals (or florals in general!).

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $10,000

At Swoon Kitchenbar we believe in eating locally and seasonally as much as possible so that we can provide you with the freshest ingredients available. All of our food is sourced from local farms and growers and is organic whenever possible. Each menu we create is unique and designed specifically for your event with your wants and needs in mind.

If not for Swoon, we probably would not have had our wedding celebration, nor would it have been a memorable one. Amy from Swoon saved us-- twice! Two months before our wedding celebration, we encountered major issues with our original caterer who was lacking in transparency and responsiveness. Amy, on the other hand, was incredibly professional and communicative when we contacted her to see if Swoon could provide our food and bar services at the last minute. It was a miracle that Swoon was able to accommodate our request. I guess it was meant to be! Amy was super organized and made everything easy in the midst of us feeling frenzied from the mess that our initial caterer created. She went above and beyond throughout the process, coordinating with the equipment rental company, setting us up with a few tastings when we visited the Swoon restaurant for lunch (everything was AMAZING), and she even responded promptly while she was out of the country on vacation! Everything was upfront regarding pricing and options, and the options looked so amazing that it was hard for us to choose! On the day-of, my husband and I were luckily able to eat during our celebration (the staff so graciously prepared plates for us) and we were impressed by how beautifully prepared and displayed everything was, from the passed appetizers and pre-plated salad to the buffet style dinner and dessert. Everything was so fresh! We were most notably surprised by how juicy the meat was. It is evident that the Swoon team takes the time to carefully craft their dishes. I can remember eating dinner that night while my father-in-law was discussing brunch for the next day, which Amy also helped schedule for us (this is the second time she saved us-- exactly what happens when your in-laws are last-minute planners)! Brunch at Le Perche, Swoon’s sister restaurant, was excellent as well. Go with Swoon if you want phenomenal food and service. We couldn’t have done it without them!

I searched for a while for a creative, fun, chill, reasonably priced florist who understood my slightly obscure wedding decor requests. Liv & her team checked off all those boxes and then some. She was not only a true artist in her interpretation and execution of our florals, but she was a genuine sweetheart and so flexible throughout the entire process. She listened enthusiastically when I asked for dark flowers and fruits & veggies in the centerpieces and provided helpful direction when I was clueless. She was detail oriented yet chill as we went through five proposal iterations until we reached the perfect floral direction for our wedding. Live was one of the most instrumental pieces in making our wedding everything we hoped for and I cannot thank her and the team enough for their beautiful work. I wholeheartedly recommend Liv Florally to any couple looking for a phenomenal florist.

Nestled in the hills of the beautiful Hudson Highlands, this one-time colonial stagecoach stop is over 250 years old and has been lovingly restored in 2021 with all of the modern comforts. Meticulously landscaped grounds, a peaceful brook with overlook bridge and 5 unique, beautifully appointed guest rooms make this the perfect weekend wedding destination.

Flashback to last year, my fiance and I got engaged on 11/25/22 and scrambled to find a Hudson Valley venue for 2023. We must've looked at 15 venues - some big, some small, some mansions, some farms - we saw it all! Although we met with some amazing venues, we struggled to find one where we didn't feel like just another number. Frustrated, I went back home and decided to look at some photographers photos vs the general 'best hudson valley' venue searches. It was there, in one of the photographers albums, where I found the Bird & Bottle Inn. The beauty of the Inn was captivating, quirky and beautiful. I immediately reached out, connected with Stefania, and my fiance and I saw AND secured the 10/28/23 date just days later on a snowy winter day. The tent wasn't setup, it was a blizzard, but for some reason, the warmth of the staff, beauty of the inside of the inn and our gut feeling led us to make the best decision we could've made for our venue. Working with Evelyn and Stefania at the Bird & Bottle Inn didn't feel like we were planning a wedding with a venue - it felt like we were working with family. Family that cared about our happiness and wanted to make sure every detail was perfect. My fiance and I were not easy - we changed a lot of details, we added a bunch of rentals last minute, we asked probably 100 questions throughout the process and every time we reached out, we were met with ease, sometimes a phone call and even an invite to see our vision in person over the summer vs wait until fall to do the final walkthrough. The day of wedding team met us with the same detail and love as Stefania and Evelyn did throughout the entire process. The food was incredible, the coordination was on point all night and the bartending and signature drinks are still being raved about among our friends and family. Frankly, the entire wedding is still being raved about with many saying this is the best wedding they've ever attended. If you're looking for a wedding venue that feels magical and in a weird way, almost like you're at your own home, then this is your place. We cannot recommend the team, venue and coordinators enough, and we're beyond grateful we chose this special place for our wedding. Thank you to everyone at the Bird & Bottle Inn! You will always be a part of our story!

We quickly found our photographer, Sam June who has shot numerous weddings at RMV as a preferred vendor. Throughout the whole wedding planning process, Amy VanDetta was incredible at answering countless answers and emails. She was a joy to correspond with. Her kindness, thoroughness and professionalism was always noticed. In our final walk through with Gary, we were put at ease knowing we were in such good hands.

The entire venue has so many beautiful areas and we felt very lucky there was plenty of indoor space for all our guests to enjoy during all the rain. We look forward to enjoying RMV and RMV Cellars into the future during public events! It feels really special to be part of the RMV family as we began our next chapter as husband and wife.

Hi! We're Jeremiah & Cody. We met working in a music store in 2009 and instantly became like brothers ("Did we just become best friends?" "YUP!"). In 2011, Jeremiah's wife volunteered him to shoot her sister's wedding and he genuinely enjoyed it. So, he began shooting weddings. In 2016, Cody graduated RIT with a Visual Arts degree and was looking for his next move. Luckily for all of us, Jeremiah talked Cody into relocating to the Hudson Valley to help him with his weddings. And here we are! The two of us get really excited to take really cool pictures.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met Jeremiah based off of a recommendation from someone who had not used him and was upset she didn’t. She had told us that her brother had used him and when she compared her photos to his she was sad she had not found him before her wedding. We met him with a lineup of photographers to meet after and we were not even out of the parking lot after meeting him before we decided to cancel all other appointments and book him right then and there. Jeremiah is the kindest soul we have ever encountered— he is genuinely funny, warm and he listens to everything you say.. and remembers it nearly a year later when you meet with him again before the big day! His personality alone makes him a 10/10 to work with and then you see your photos. He airdropped us five photos before the end of the reception and .. wow.. there is no other word but WOW. He sees the wedding in a way you do not.. he catches the REALNESS of the wedding. The love, the way you look at one another- it all just flows with him and Cody. It brings tears to my eyes writing this because he truly makes sure you get to see yourself the way everyone else does. Cody will go above and beyond (literally SCALING hills and climbing through bushes) to ensure you get shots from different perspectives. They both are awesome and I truly wish we could hang out with them on the regular.. that’s how down to earth and fun they are. Please if you’re reading this and deciding to reach out to him just DO IT! You will not be disappointed and his talent is endless. We adore you Jeremiah and Cody and are so thankful that you were part of our day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!
