We had our wedding at Villa Barone Manor, and it was an absolute dream from start to finish! The level of service and attention to detail was truly incredible — they thought of everything and made sure the entire night ran perfectly. The ballroom was stunning, the food was beyond amazing, and so many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Everyone raved about how delicious everything was (especially the cake — people are still talking about it!) and how full and happy they were by the end of the night. Nick, one of the owners, was amazing to work with from the very beginning. He gave us great guidance throughout the planning process, was always professional and attentive, and on the day of the wedding he made sure everything was perfect. What stood out most was how he treated us like family — his warmth and care truly made the experience unforgettable. Another big shoutout to my bridal assistant, Luciana, who was an absolute lifesaver. She helped me with everything I needed and made sure I felt completely taken care of all night. The maître d’s were also fantastic, keeping us updated on timing and making sure every detail flowed seamlessly. We are so grateful to the entire team at Villa Barone Manor for helping make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for a venue that delivers exceptional service, stunning spaces, and an unforgettable experience!

We had our wedding at Keepsake a few weeks ago and it was absolutely incredible!!! Dana was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We loved doing our tasting there with our parents. We stopped by to tour the space multiple times since we planned most of it ourselves - and Dana was always there to answer questions and give great advice. It is such a cool venue. We had a lot of unique ideas and different decorations for our ‘nerdy’ wedding haha. When we toured other venues they felt too dressy and fancy for our style. Keepsake is just rustic and unique enough - but still super classy - and the prices were WAY more reasonable than the other venues we toured. And of course - the big day!!! The event ran sooo smoothly. Dana worked wonders with our day-of coordinator and vendors to get everything timed perfectly for ample dancing time!!! I had such a blast and there was literally zero stress on my part as the bride! Amazing! The music sounded great in the space despite the tall ceilings - it’s soundproofed well! The food was fantastic - you gotta get the crispy duck!! And the bar was on point. Thank you to all Keepsake staff for the work you did to create the wedding day of our dreams!!!

The Garrison itself is absolutely stunning - even more beautiful in person - and the staff was warm, attentive, and professional throughout. Our guests are still raving about the food, and the entire space came together perfectly for both the ceremony and reception. What really made the day seamless, though, was the team that supported us. Annie, our day-of coordinator, was an absolute godsend. We were juggling unpredictable weather, miscommunications, and a whole lot of last-minute uncertainty, and she handled it all with such calm, measured grace. She kept things on track and gave us the gift of peace of mind - we truly couldn’t have done it without her. Fatima, my bridal assistant, was my right hand from the moment I arrived. She anticipated every need before I even had to ask - always three steps ahead, always composed, always kind. I felt fully taken care of, which is exactly what every bride hopes for. We’re so grateful to the entire team - thank you for making our wedding day so beautiful and so easy to enjoy.

We loved having our wedding at The Keeler Tavern! It was cozy, warm and intimate and the beautiful antique ambiance was just what we were looking for. Combined with the comparatively affordable price point for the area, choosing Keeler Tavern for our wedding was easy and we don’t regret it. We also appreciated the unique and affordable option to hire a Keeler Tavern Museum docent to give mini museum tours during our cocktail hour. (Our guests loved it!) Mary Ann (the point person at Keeler Tavern) was easy to work with and helped to answer all of our questions. It rained on our wedding day so we didn’t get to use the garden space for our ceremony as originally planned, but the patio tent was still a beautiful setting for the ceremony and the reception hall with all of its windows was lovely and cozy during the rainstorm. We would absolutely recommend Keeler Tavern as a venue for an intimate wedding in the Ridgefield area.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Grand Oak Villa on 11/17/23 and could not have asked for a better experience. From the start of our wedding planning experience, Angela and Tarin were absolutely amazing. They made my husband and I feel so welcome and treated us like family from the very beginning. About eight months before the wedding I tore my ACL and had surgery and Tarin even checked in with me to see how the surgery went and wish me well. As we got closer to the wedding, the girls made sure that everything went off without a hitch. They checked with us about our other vendors, gave us some advice, and helped us double and triple check all of our information right up to the day of the wedding. They reduced our wedding planning stresses by so much!!! The venue was absolutely gorgeous the day of our wedding, the food was beyond delicious, and all of the staff were so kind and friendly. Our personal server, Diana, was truly the star of the show on wedding day. She checked in with us at the exact right time, every time. She never made us feel like she was interrupting, but she was always there right when we needed her. And our drinks were never empty! We truly cannot say enough good things about the Grand Oak Villa and the lovely staff there. They really felt like family. Every single one of our guests remarked that the food was incredible, drinks were made perfectly, and the staff was so kind. Angela even personally greeted our parents the night of the wedding. I’d give this place ten stars if I could!

The Briarcliff Manor MADE my wedding! My guests came back saying it was the best wedding they'd been to and I highly doubt it would have been that way without their incredible staff, beautiful venue, and great food! I also notably had a few crises throughout the day (by no fault of theirs or any of my other vendors) and they handled these issues with care and grace and made it so that none of my guests recognized an issue. Particularly big shout out to Kelsey, who was extremely transparent and helped us with everything big or small throughout the planning process (also a huge help on the day of); Perry, the owner, who helped with many of the bigger things along the way as well and was lovely on the day of; and Jen, the bridal attendant, who I only met for the first time on the day of, but truly proved to be my savior when things went wrong! Also highly recommend hiring Vincenza to do decor as our chuppah was even better than I imagined it being. Overall, I am absolutely thrilled with Briarcliff and would highly recommend them as a venue. They made a day that could have been really difficult into a dream come true and I could not imagine getting married anywhere else!

Absolutely magical. Getting married at Rushmore Estate was like stepping into a dream. From the moment we arrived at the grand gated entry to our lakeside bonfire after-party, everything was beyond what I ever imagined. The property is stunning, with 50 acres of pure serenity, scenic views, trails, and that private lake? Unreal. The staff was incredible—so helpful, patient, and genuinely dedicated to bringing our vision to life. What really set the experience apart was how thoughtful and accommodating they were from start to finish. Months before the wedding, they helped coordinate an amazing bachelorette weekend for me and my bridesmaids. They arranged airport pickups, planned day trips into the city, and even recommended a walking trail right on the property. The night before the wedding, we had a peaceful slumber party in one of the estate’s suites. No stress, just laughter, wine, and the kind of calm I never thought possible before a wedding. Every single detail, from the day trips to the fire pit after-party, was handled with care. If you're looking for a venue that’s elegant, relaxing, and full of heart, Rushmore Estate is it.

We started the wedding planning process by starting to look at venues. Falkirk was the first venue we had toured and immediately fell in love with it. From seeing the golf course, the waterfall, the gazebo, and incredible views, it was breathtaking and we imagined ourselves getting married there immediately. We met with Andrea during our tour, and had the pleasure of getting to work with her throughout our planning process, and was absolutely incredible on the day of our wedding! She made herself available to answer our (many) questions, going over timelines, and ensuring that our vision and dreams for the day came true. They had it all, from phenomenal staff to incredible food, not to mention the stunning views. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the entire wedding weekend. Andrea was an absolute gem to work with, and made sure everything we dreamed of came true. And when we got the opportunity to have fireworks during our reception?! To this day, we have friends and family still talking about the firework show. Andrea worked seamlessly with other vendors and the firework staff to make sure it was a surprise show that no one would forget. Our wedding day was a dream, and we are so glad we had it at the Falkirk Estate and Country Club. We are so incredibly happy we got the pleasure to work with them, and would recommend any couples that are starting the wedding planning process, to reach out to them.

If you want a PARTY, book this venue. They have multiple rooms at this venue you can book depending on your headcount. We booked the Majestic Room on the top floor for 75 people. They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows. The service is WHITE GLOVE and the food will impress your guests. Book this venue!
