Weddings at The Briarcliff Manor
The experience, in their words.
Beautiful weddings. Real experiences.
What it felt like to plan, celebrate, and be cared for
at The Briarcliff Manor.
Marina C · The Knot
“I truly felt like my wedding was being hosted by family.”
Handmade décor delivered before the wedding. Help keeping the photographs on track. A dress bustle handled quickly. The couple getting to taste every entrée.
These are the moments behind Marina’s review: practical help before the celebration, attention throughout the day, and thoughtful touches afterward.
A celebration that flowed
“The smooth coordination between each activity blew our mind.”
When the plans needed a little flexibility, the team made room for it. Van and Stephen’s experience included patient help with last-minute requests and smooth transitions throughout their celebration.

When the forecast changed
“I knew this talented team had this.”
A nor’easter changed the ceremony plans. Inside, the team created an intimate setting, then moved the celebration through cocktail hour and reception.
The care extended beyond the couple to their guests, with staff anticipating what people needed throughout the evening.

Everyone that was close to me during our wedding planning process couldn’t believe what a “chill bride” I was. Well, Briarcliff Manor and their team are LARGELY to thank for that. They were so responsive/atentive and really took care of everything. Vincenza’s in house florals were the icing on the cake and this really was a one stop shop. From the start they were extremely transparent and thorough in reviewing all our options. Throughout the process, if I ever had any questions they were answered promptly and enthusiastically. On the day of our wedding they never missed a beat and made sure that we had everything we needed. The venue itself is so beautiful and magical for an evening wedding. All our guests were raving about it and I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in the Hudson Valley!

To Our Friends at The Briarcliff,
We cannot thank you enough for our beautiful wedding reception. Our day was truly magical thanks to you all. Our guests (and us) could not get over how amazing your staff was. You were accommodating since day one. From the Briarcliff’s charm, beautiful scenery, delicious food, and wonderful staff… you guys have it all! You all (especial Perry and Vincenza) will always hold a special place in our hearts! We can’t wait to recommend you to our friends and family.
We hope to see you soon!

Emily and the entire staff at the Briarcliff helped to make our wedding a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our wedding had to be pushed back due to COVID & they were accommodating. Communication with staff was excellent. Emily was super helpful with all little details. During the wedding itself, ALL staff were beyond gracious, attentive, and professional. The venue was decorated beautifully – both indoors and outdoors. And the food! We got so many compliments on how excellent the food was, particularly the cocktail hour. I hope someone else I know gets married here so that I can be a guest at the Briarcliff again!

We got married at The Briarcliff Manor on 7/22/23 and could not have had a better day! The manor and grounds are absolutely stunning and a selling point on their own. However, the venue and venue staff as a whole was incredible! Alex was our bridal attendant and the day would have not been the same without her! She went above and beyond for us and took care of everything. From the moment we arrived that afternoon, we were well taken care of- she kept us on schedule, made sure we had everything and anything we needed, communicated any last minute wishes to vendors, just all around incredible! We used the in house florist, Decor by Vincenza and our florals and decor were perfect and just as we had hoped! We used Emily for our day or coordination and she ensured all of our plans went off without a hitch, coordinated with all the vendors, and when our guest book couldn’t be found, even went out to purchase one for us to use instead! All of our guests felt well taken care of, catered to, the food was absolutely incredible, and when things went awry the staff handled it seamlessly! We couldn’t have had a more perfect day!
