“I was one of few original wedding photographers to capture Abbey Inn's grand opening commercial photo shoot. I was extremely impressed by not only the polite construction and staff at the facility, but also how they had EVERYTHING figured out for large scale weddings and events to take place at their location. They have stunning-luxury hotel rooms & suites, a restaurant, bar and lounge space, gorgeous views of the Hudson valley, a cathedral -aesthetic ceremony and reception hall, lush gardens and lawns, plenty of parking, JUST A PERFECT SPOT for weddings and events so travel isn't an issue. ONE STOP SHOP :D I highly recommend this wedding venue!”

“We had the best experience with Factoria and our coordinator, Megan! We were able to host our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and after party using different settings around the venue. Megan was a great resource throughout the planning process and open and honest throughout. She made sure everything went perfectly all weekend, making sure we had time to slow down and truly enjoy the day and weekend despite how busy we were. The food and drinks were incredible during the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, and the reception. Service was great and the staff were not only attentive to us but to our guests as well. We truly had the best experience. The whole team at Factoria gave us the most amazing wedding weekend (we wish we could go back and do it all over again!)”

“(Long review but worth it... trust me) Not sure if a wedding could ever be called "stress-free" but I'm tempted to say.... it basically was. I would never be able to say that if it weren't for everyone at Crabtree's: Kim, Leo, the Barbaras, everyone. Kim was there for us during the planning every step of the way. From the beginning, she was easy to reach and never more than an email away to answer my millions of questions. Furthermore, her expertise was extremely helpful in helping us to complete our vision. We were planning this wedding based off of the little we've seen at other weddings and a lot of Pinterest, but Kim has been doing this for years and knows exactly how to make a vision into a reality. Leo, our maitre'd was phenomenal as well. He was there every step of the day, making sure it went smoothly. He was even there to help our toddler flower girls get down the aisle when they were, well.... being toddlers lol. If we needed something, I'd turn around and he was there. Even when we didn't know we needed something, he took the initiative to make sure we were comfortable. Like when he realized we didn't get back to our dinner right away he brought them back to make sure it didn't get cold. Or when he realized we barely ate our dinner, he made sure we had some food to eat when everything was over. He is incredible thoughtful and amazing at what he does. We didn't need for anything because we had Leo by our side. The food.... Let's be real, a lot of wedding food/catering hall's food is... meh. Not at Crabtree's! If you read a little about them, you'll see that they take pride in their food. Unlike a lot of venues, where the food at the tasting is delicious but then the day of is lacking (in both taste and presentation), that was not the case. The food was JUST as delicious and well-presented as it was at the tasting. Our guests were very pleased with the food, even the biggest food snobs in attendance. I have friends still (we got married 7 months ago) telling me how they wish they could go back to our cocktail hour for some snacks! The space.... Not much to say other than GORGEOUS! Minimal decor is necessary because the outdoor and indoor space are beautiful as is. If you're fortunate to have good weather like we did, the garden is beautiful, especially with the changing leaves in autumn. So many guests have told me how this was one of the most beautiful weddings they've been too. The value... Weddings are rarely cheap, especially if you have a specific vision of that day. What I've learned is that if you're looking within a certain price range, and something is a little bit above, take a look at what they're offering in that price. See if there are ways to shave off a few dollars per person. Initially, we thought Crabtree's would be above our budget but when we looked at what they were offering and some of the options they offered to save some money, we were getting far more than other venues we had looked at. Do yourself a favor, take a visit to Crabtree's, sit down with Kim, and you'll see the value in what they are offering. We are not rich by any means but this was worth every one of our hard-earned pennies. Crabtree's and the people there will forever have a special place in our hearts. I cannot recommend them enough!”
