Valicitie, Angelo, Audrey, and the team at The Nyack Seaport curated a perfect wedding day for my husband and me. Valicitie remembered every detail and personally answered every em...ail, question, and phone call.
We were not the easiest couple to work with, as we had recently been disappointed by another venue that fell through. At the beginning, we were cautious and guarded, but the Rubino Family went well above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and to assure us that our wedding day would be magical.
From our delicious food tasting, to the numerous face-to-face tours and visits, to the prompt communication, to the rainbow that hung in the sky on the day of our wedding, everything felt meant to be.
During the planning phase, Valicitie recommended local vendors, including the amazing florists at Basset Flowers and Gifts and the bakers at A Little Cake. She worked behind the scenes with our DJ, photo booth company, photographer, and pianist; we didn't worry about a thing.
Both our ceremony and reception were held at The Nyack Seaport. As two people who have grown up near The Hudson, it was deeply meaningful to take photos by the river. As we were saying our vows, the sun was setting behind us over the water. At the end of the night, our photographer took some incredible long-exposure photos with The Mario Cuomo Bridge in the background.
Here are just a few more of the ways that The Nyack Seaport honored us on our wedding day:
-Our guests with wheelchairs and other special needs received the accommodations and attention they needed to move about the venue safely and enjoy themselves all night
-Pre-ceremony, Valicitie personally fixed my husband's boutonniere when it was falling off
-Our specialty artisanal cocktail was hand-mixed for each guest
-The food featured seasonal Hudson Valley produce and flavors
-Our guests all raved about the cocktail hour food and their entrees--no one left hungry!
-Guests with special dietary needs (including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) all had entree options and multiple items to choose from at cocktail hour
-Audrey was our personal attendant; she quietly noticed our needs before we did, for example by picking up my husband's jacket whenever he took it off while dancing and having it ready when he needed it for cake-cutting photos
-Besides our delicious wedding cake from A Little Cake, dessert included a warm apple dumpling and ice cream
Other features that made The Nyack Seaport a great choice for us:
-Valet parking
-Bridal suite
-Uplighting available through the venue
-Spacious dance floor--a must for us!
-Outdoor cocktail hour on the patio
-Did we mention that the food was delicious?
-Extensive selection of liquors and craft beers
-Close enough to the Tarrytown train station to be accessible via rideshare for guests coming from NYC
-Great connections with other businesses in the community; Angelo made a few calls on our behalf to local hotels, for example
