View On The Hudson

The venue is beautiful, if not slightly dated in some respects. Howard Vaz was amazing to work with and the whole experience was fabulous, one that we will treasure forever.

I want everyone to know about this place. Soup to nuts, it was perfect. From the initial planning to the night of. Howard was our "GM" and took care of everything. Don't let him frustrate you, he definitely knows what he is doing. We all have "visions", just like we did, of what the night should be like, Howard will ask why certain things are wanted and be very frank with you. He puts the couple ahead of the Venue. The week of, Howard was very stern about bringing everything over early. "You are not to worry about anything here, I will worry about it", and he was a man of his word. The food was top notch and abundant. I had guests complaining that they couldn't get drunk because there was so much food. The venue has an awesome view of the Tappan Zee Bridge, unfortunately we picked a date that Irene visited. Due to weather we had to get married inside, people did not even blink. And the acoustic for a band was awesome. That night, Howard and his manager were catering to everything. They really know how to run a show. I needed a drink he was there. After the ceremony and pictures he made sure we were eating. The venue itself is a domed pavilion with a side room for cocktail hour and an open bar area. Some people may think the decor is outdated but I thought it was dated far back enough to add its own uniqueness to it, all personal preference. The website does not give this place justice. Before you cross this place off the list you have to see it in person, it is located in a cute town with hotels only 8 minutes away. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you View on the Hudson

Look no further if you want a fabulous wedding!!! From start to finish Howard was amazing. He is knowledgeable and professional and will lead you through the process of wedding planning. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, photos were taken outside and are phenomenal. The ceremony was also outside and was equally as exquisite with the backdrop of the Hudson. The food was phenomenal and our guests are still talking about the fabulous selections, quality and variety of the menu. The View was beyond our wildest expectations!!!!

We had the night of our lives! The staff at The View was professional and made our wedding perfect. They took care of everything! No task was too big or small. Howard and Ralph took care of our guests and saw that every detail was taken care of before the wedding and after. We couldnt have ask for a better place to get married.

Everything was great here for my wedding in April 2011. The only thing I'd do differently is ask for a bar setup instead the reception room because too many guests were stationed at the bar, not on the dance floor (too far away). Views are lovely and Howard Vaz was amazing! He ran the whole show flawlessly.

The View highly exceeded my expectations and made our wedding day magical! My best friend had been married at the View six years ago. I remember thinking the venue was beautiful, the view was amazing and the idea of only having ONE wedding at a time -- something rare to find in the tri-state area. When it came time for my special day I was blown away by the level of service. Ralph helped us along the way and made us feel that any question or request was never to silly. My guests have raved about the food and level of service to this day. And my husband and I are still glowing from the warm reception we had.

We were married in March 2009. It was a day wedding and everything was amazing. We worked with Ralph and he took care of everything. The room was set up perfectly and their food options were very good. They provide a perfect cake so you do not need to spend more money. They basically ran the wedding, which was great since we did the wedding ourselves and could not be everywhere at once. We have only heard wonderful things from our guests. The view is amazing...I am a hudson valley girl, so this was perfect. The View provides guests with champagne and a strawberry, but my husband is allergic to strawberries. They substituted raspberries instead...that is how attentive they are.

Ralph and all the staff members there are really amazing and made our day even better than we could have imagined! They were so flexible, helpful, and just great people to work with! We would recommend anyone to have their event there! And we hope we get to go to another one there soon! :)

The View was the perfect location for our wedding... the food, service, atmosphere, etc. was everything my husband and I hoped it to be and more. I would recommend it to anyone

Having our reception at the View on the Hudson was like the fairy-tale ending to a perfect day. The venue was beautiful, the "view", of course, spectacular, food fantastic, and service - impeccable. Howard Vas ran our affair and no stone was left unturned. We never had to ask for anything - everything was done and it was done correctly. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and would book them again immediately.

We had our ceremony & reception at The View and I could not have been happier. Our outdoor ceremony was perfect. It’s not a huge set-up, but for our 155 guest list, it worked out great. I loved having the place to ourselves for the night. Our guests raved about the food and we actually got to eat! My one concern before the wedding was that the bar set-up would take people away from the action, but the wait staff kept my guest’s drinks full without even having to leave the ballroom! The whole flow of the night exceeded my expectations. I could call anytime with a question. Whether it was Howard, Ralph or the receptionist who answered the phone, anything I need was solved quickly. The night of the wedding, they took care of everyone. Ralph runs a tight ship and I had complete confidence in him. He even helped bustle my dress! If you’re looking for a reasonable venue, gorgeous views and great staff, I would certainly recommend The View!

The View on the Hudson, Howard and his team were great. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Howard was very accommodating with our menu selection and we had a last minute guest show up and he saw that the guest was taking care of. My guests are still talking about the food and how amazing the food was. There is no greater pleasure than hearing that your guests had a great time. Great food, great location, one wedding at a time venue.....cant' get any better. The View is a "win" all the way around.

The View on the Hudson was amassing...Ed and I love this magical place with breathtaking views of the Hudson river. Special thanks to Ralph and The View on the Hudson staff for being so wonderful to us and making our wedding day one of a kind! Cheers, Nancy Jay & Edward our wedding date 10/11/09

The view on the hudson was such a fantastic place to hold our wedding reception. The food, service, atmosphere, and staff were amazing. The view was the first and only place we looked to have our wedding reception at and we are so happy we chose it.

We had our wedding at the View last May. All the services were wonderful and Ralph helped make our day special and without complications. We entrusted him with a great responsibility and he definitely exceeded our expectations. Our guests still talk about how lovely the venue, especially the stunning view.

We planed our wedding in about 3 months and everyone at the View on the Hudson were wonderful. The location & venue were beautiful. One of my favorite things about view is that it holds only one event at a time. The food at the cocktail hour and the wedding were amazing, our wedding cake was beautiful. Overall wonderful event and would recommend it to everyone.

I would highly recommend The View to brides in the NY/NJ/Hudson Valley area. The setting is beautiful and all-in-one -- you have the comfort and convenience of a ballroom and full-service facility, but the gorgeous river views are right outside to enjoy throughout. The food is delicious, and there is tons of it included in the base price -- an insane amount of passed hors d'oeuvres and appetizer stations at cocktail hour long before the sit-down dinner. Ralph was out maitre'd and he was incredible. So attentive the whole evening to us and our 200+ guests.

My wife and I were married at the view and were very pleased with the venue and the level of service. The guests commented on the spectacular view of the marina and the Tappan Zee bridge in the background. The Hors d'oeuvres in particular were outstanding, and the meal was also very good. Ralph was helpful leading up to the wedding, and Howard pitched in on the day of as well. They prefer not to spell out all the details in the contract, and they didn't provide us a tasting. Overall, highly recommended.

We had a great wedding at The View on the Hudson. This venue is beautiful and a great value for the money. Views are, of course, excellent. Food is decent and ballroom is very pretty. Everyone had a lot of fun! They customized quite a bit for us, which was nice. Cake came out great and outside vendors seemed to have to problem coordinating.

I think The View is usually a good venue, unfortunately the sprinklers went off during my outdoor ceremony and many of my guests got wet. I am assuming this is not something that usually happens, hopefully it was some sort of accident.... The View itself is a very beautiful location and their service seems very good for the most part. If the sprinkler incident did not happen I would have given a much higher rating.
