We recently had our wedding at the Rhinecliff, it was incredible! The venue is well maintained, the scale and furnishing are perfect for an intimate event for family and friends. It is exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The views of the Hudson River, Mountains, and Roundout Lighthouse are stunning.
The food was delicious (made from local NY ingredients). The Rhinecliff has a great restaurant that we've ate at many times and loved, we were happy to find that our wedding event had the same quality of food and service! Our guests have said that the wait staff was extremely attentive, the family style meal worked perfectly; the staff made sure that no one ran out of food. Wine, which was included in our package, was always being poured, glasses were never empty. The bar tenders were professional and personable as well. Our guests had an amazing time, we are still hearing about how great the event was.
During our planning stages prior to the wedding, there had been a turn over of event coordinators, but the owner himself, James, made sure that we received "The Rhinecliff experience" as he put it himself. He kept everyone in good spirits, and seemed personally invested in the success of our wedding event. At times, we felt as if he were a part of the family!

Dear Jeff,
Thanks again for all your help in planning our special day. We appreciated your attention to detail and your quick responses to all of our questions and concerns. Thanks again for your help!
Jeffrey,
Thank you so much for assisting me with Brandon and Amy's rehearsal dinner. The setting was beautiful--you are fortunate to have such a lovely venue. The food and service were memorable, and I couldn't have
asked for more ease in the planning with your assistance. If ever I get a chance to recommend it, I will; and, I'm sure that Brandon and Amy will be advocates.
The entire weekend was a memorable one! We did get a chance after the wedding to do some biking in the New Paltz area and some hiking. We will keep Rhinecliff Hotel in our files if we should get the opportunity for future trips. I'd love to stay at the hotel.

Dear Jeffrey,
We wanted to write this letter to say thank you for all that you did to make our children’s wedding a huge success. You have to be commended on your professionalism and ability to keep the environment as calm as possible at all times. I don’t think this event could have been as wonderful if it were not for you. From the very start John and Jen did nothing but talk about how well you treated them and made them feel that this was the place they wanted to celebrate their blessed event. Thank you again for everything!
Jeffrey,
You have been such a pleasure to work with through this process! You really have made the months of planning a pleasure and any moments of stress or tension were made insignificant by your assurances! A million thank yous.
Jeff,
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us with the party! You have gone above and beyond!
James & Jeffrey,
We felt confident in your professionalism from the start, but still had room to be bowled over by your handling of our event. Thank you for your firm but supple hand. Simply superb!
Dear Jeffrey,
You were the MVP at our wedding reception! Your calm demeanor really helped us enjoy the reception with no worries, knowing that everything was under your capable hands, from making sure we got something to eat to reserving a taxi for our friends! Its been an absolute pleasure working with you. All the Best
Jeffrey,
Just wanted to say thank you James and Jeffrey for the wonderful food!! Everyone loved it and raved about the Hunter Style Stew! It was the perfect food for our wedding appetites! We told all of our family and friends where it was from and that the next time they visit, we would bring them to the Rhinecliff to enjoy the live music and beautiful view! Thanks again for making our day special and making the catering experience simple and easy!
Dear Jeffrey,
Out-of-town family has left and we are thinking back on the beautiful wedding you arranged for Karen and Paul. We were so pleased with every detail of the arrangements! The setting was beautiful and weather cooperated to hold the ceremony and reception in your garden. (The sunset appeared as they were repeating their vows --- good timing!) I received compliments on every aspect of the dinner: appetizers, beverages and entrees. The salmon received particularly high ratings, especially from Paul's 92 year old grandmother!
