The Rosery Flower Shop 

5.0

Hudson, NY
  • Florist

Every couples love story is uniquely their own and for that reason we offer two different wedding services, both fully customizable to meet the needs of the couple. We create one of a kind floral arrangements inspired by the seasons and local availability. Our flower shop is bordered with a cutting garden which is utilized to provide unique accents that are custom grown for events, we also source blooms from other local farms right here in the Hudson Valley for your wedding flowers. .

Weddings are stressful, a wedding in 2020 is something of another word entirely.. I prayed that my daughter's vision for her wedding would come true, we marched with a motto that love conquers all! We hoped our vendors had the same determination and drive to get through the trials, changes and uncertainty with love and patience. In Erin from Rosery Flower Shop we found our artist, our champion of no matter where or how she would create our dream. Erin traveled for over 2 hours to our new venue, I still don’t know how they kept all those flowers looking so fresh. Of course we discussed our decor many, many times and we had photos she created for our vision board, but nothing truly prepared us for what Erin created! The flowers were magical, the colors used I didn’t know were in existence. My daughters bouquet was everything she dreamt of and more. Centerpieces were lush with gorgeous colors and painstaking creativity! Sweetheart table was an oasis of love ! Incredible, I am eternally grateful for all the hard work and love Erin showed Jackie through her flowers. 2020 just became a lot more beautiful!

Swoon Kitchenbar 

5.0

Hudson, NY
  • 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 was really worried about being able to turn a blank space into my dream night but they made it happen easily. I'll never forget the feeling of seeing it all set up for the first time. The best part is that there are zero time restrictions on the space. Which for us, meant an after-party until 3am :)

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
Skylark Music brought the PARTY - truly the most fun I’ve ever had at any wedding and not just saying that because it was my own. Justin and Jesse were wonderful to work with; from our easygoing initial outreach to finalizing the timeline and setlist. On the day of, Skylark provided the most beautiful live ceremony music which added a touch of class I was looking for. Justin switched to DJ/MC for the reception and the dance floor was packed all night! We had some unique song requests which Justin indulged, and did a fantastic job reading the crowd’s vibe. Everyone was commenting on how great the music was and it truly brought our wedding day to the next level. My absolute favorite part of the entire day was our giant conga line to “Love Train” to close out the night - I’ll never forget that moment and owe it to Skylark! If you’re looking for a fun, professional, and all around talented duo, I can’t recommend Skylark enough.

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

I can not articulate how happy I am to have found Jess to capture our wedding. She was extremely professional throughout the process and yet somehow now I feel like we are best friends?! She made the planning process seamless and we were happy to have gotten to know her during our engagement shoot. Then at the wedding - she was ON! She kept our families in line AND ON TIME, which is not a small task. She even helped coordinate a surprise with my husband that left me speechless! Our wedding was all about the details and she absolutely captured that. AND THE PHOTOS! Aside from being a wonderful person to spend the day with, Jess is a true artist! The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and my husband and I feel SO LUCKY that we get to cherish them forever.

I used Heather for our chuppah rental for my wedding at Windham Manor. I saw her brown bark chuppah on Instagram and immediately knew I had to have it. Heather was amazing to work with and the result was absolutely stunning! I am so in love with how it turned out. She even helped me customize the wooden platform from another one of her rentals to work with our chuppah and give me the exact vision I wanted. She was also super flexible. I was slow to decide which location at the venue I wanted the ceremony at and she did not rush me at all. I ended up wanting the ceremony on the grass and the venue said the chuppah would have to be taken down the same night if we were to be allowed to do this. Of course Heather said this would be no problem at all and was immediately willing to stay and do this for us. They day of our wedding ended up being a bit crazy with on and off rain but Heather was totally calm and go with the flow while the planner worked on making the rain decision. She also attached a family tallis to the top of the chuppah and it stayed perfectly, despite the not ideal weather conditions. Highly recommend working with Heather!!!

From the moment I connected with Bekah, I could tell that we would work perfectly together. Bekah's clear dedication to her craft, her expertise, and of course, her incredibly positive demeanor made her the clear choice. Bekah communicated clearly with me from the initial inquiry email up until we were scheduling start time for wedding day. She was incredibly flexible with dates and times for the makeup trial, with adding in my grandmother when she arrived last minute for the wedding from outside the US, and was open to feedback when it came to final looks and any adjustments that needed to be made. Bekah is also skilled in hair and was able to assist with touch ups/adjustments. She was an absolute lifesaver when I was searching for a hair stylist for the big day, her experience and connections in the wedding industry really came through and found someone that was just as flexible and enjoyable to work with, who also happened to be in my price range for services! Bekah's positive demeanor helped keep me calm and cool on wedding day when I was stressed about a million and one things, always giving a laugh when needed and reassurance. She truly made me feel the most beautiful I ever have in my whole life and my look lasted well into the evening, even after dancing and sweating for hours! My mother and the rest of my party had such a great experience as well, everyone looked so wonderful, especially since my mother was a bit hesitant to have her makeup done since she doesn't typically use anything other than lipstick. I hope there's a chance for me to have Bekah's services again because she was just oh so incredible! You truly could not go wrong with Bekah and her services for your wedding day 3

Allyse was amazing, to say the least. My husband and I got married on July 4th and wanted to incorporate fireworks into our event somehow. Our venue wouldn’t allow it for safety reasons(understandable) so we talked to Allyse and decided to do a first look a few nights before with fireworks. The photos from the first look were amazing! We started during daylight and they captured everything perfectly. But let me tell you, the way the photos with the fireworks came out was STUNNING!!! Only a true professional could have done what they did! Allyse and her husband did a fantastic job snapping everything moment of our wedding and catching some of the sweetest memories that I can cherish forever- including my 80 year old grandmother holding my 3 month old son! The look of love on her face was so candid and sweet. I’ve had numerous guests tell me later that my photographers were “awesome, fun and so amazing, how did you find them?” And that really sums them up, they were so awesome and the most fun! They didn’t even have to tell you to smile because you were already laughing and having a good time! We are so grateful for their work and highly recommend them!

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

Where to start when working with M.C. Fish?! Right from the first video interview, Dave brought such a great and personal energy when talking about our wedding with us. He was so incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to every aspect of the reception and made us feel like we were in great hands every step of the way. Whenever we had questions he was right on top of responses, and even helped us with aspects outside of the music/reception. When it came time for our final planning meeting he was incredibly thorough with every detail on how the night would go. We had a very specific vibe for our cocktail hour, pre-ceremony and dinner music playlists, and Dave took down every last song on our lists. We had the wonderful opportunity to attend a friend's wedding where Dave was the DJ (the person who highly recommended him) and I know that even if we hadn’t curated our own lists he would have killed it with his own!! On the actual night of our wedding Dave couldn’t have been a better hype man, he got the energy in our reception electric and the dance floor packed. He even facilitated and flushed out the details of the best photo frenzy I’ve personally seen at a wedding. Working with M.C. Fish is 10/10 recommended for the easiest planning process and best wedding reception ever!!

We had the most amazing time at Diamond Mills Hotel! The venue is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff is wonderful to work with. My husband and I also loved exploring Saugerties! Planning a wedding in two months was challenging, but booking Diamond Mills for our wedding venue was the best decision ever! We loved working with Stephanie, Carrie, and Brianne. They are highly organized and professional. Our wedding day was truly magical! Our guests had a wonderful time! We also really appreciate how the staff working on the day of our wedding ensured that my husband and I ate well (and remembered to eat as we interacted with our guests). The food served was delicious and we loved our wedding cake! Another great thing about booking the wedding at Diamond Mills is that the hotel is attached to the wedding venue - it was very convenient for us and our guests! We received a good discount for our hotel block. The wedding package they offer at Diamond Mills Hotel is truly well-rounded! Beautiful venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, catering, open bar, wedding cake, and supportive and amazing staff to help you plan your wedding and ensure that everything runs smoothly during the day of the wedding all for a reasonable price! I used some rental decorations, and the staff made sure to carefully pack everything at the end of the night, so shipping and packing up the following day was easy! We highly recommend Diamond Mills!

Wow! DJ Lou exceeded our expectations! When it came to the reception we didn't have to do a thing but the preparation came months before that. We had an initial planning meeting, he set us up with our own timeline (an app that he created!), we had a follow-up meeting and then a week-of meeting! We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us. He was checking to see if we were okay, pulling us away to make sure we were eating, working with our other vendors so seamlessly- our ceremony musicians, our officiant, our family band, and our photographer! It made the reception a hit among all our guests! We can't recommend him enough!

Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few unique shots on top of it all.

We were so lucky to have found Kathryn for our wedding. As a photographer, Kathryn is an artist. She has incredible talent, creative ideas, and delivers stunning results. As a person, Kathryn is simply a joy. She is warm, easygoing, and fun. She made the process so easy from start to finish and we actually miss getting to chat with her! We are a same-sex, interfaith couple, and came to the table with family drama, a crazy dog, and a mashing of cultures. Kathryn didn't bat an eyelash. She has a true inclusive spirit, and that continues to mean a lot to us. If you want to be able to relive your special day with profound joy for years to come, just choose Kathryn! We so hope for our paths to cross again someday and we look forward to recommending Kathryn to anyone who will listen. We wish her nothing but the success that she deserves.
