About

On WeddingWire since 2015

Tappan Hill Mansion is a historic hilltop wedding venue located in Tarrytown, New York. Situated on Mark Twain's former estate in the Hudson Valley, this luxurious setting sits right on the banks of the Hudson River. Located just 45 minutes from Manhattan, this graceful mansion is easily accessible from the city while remaining a tranquil oasis for milestone occasions

This venue is an ideal setting for intimate gatherings and extravagant weddings alike. The venue features a large, manicured lawn that can be used for daytime ceremonies and celebrations under the stars. For indoor festivities, the mansion houses classic ballrooms complete with exposed stone, draped ceilings, and large windows. The Pavilion Room features a glass-encased brick patio opening to a stunning outdoor terrace, so you can mingle with your loved ones in the fresh country air. With access to indoor and outdoor beauty, this room is a convenient location for ceremonies on the lawn followed by a reception inside. The Hudson Room offers a classic ballroom setting, with hardwood floors and access to a private garden terrace with a stunning fountain. The walls are lined with windows that overlook the landscaped grounds, adding even more beauty to the space. The couple is given access to a stylish get-ready suite, where they can finish their preparations for the day in peace.

Full mansion buyouts available.

Best venue ever

The most magical venue that exceeded all of our dreams for the perfect night. We tied the knot at Tappan Hill Mansion a little over a month ago and we can’t stop talking about it. This place is special – it’s charming, it’s elegant, it’s cozy and it’s timeless. Tappan Hill has so much personality and made us feel like we were home the second we walked in, and sure enough we walked out with a contract in hand. The food at Tappan Hill is truly like no other. The attention to detail, peoples allergies or restrictions, and the quality was above par. Every single bite we had was better than the next. Every step of the way the team at Tappan Hill is there to answer all of your questions, and requests, no matter how many times you’ve phrased it or how wild your request is. No idea was off limits or too crazy for them to execute and the team does everything they can to make sure that the couple has the best night. Caitlin was a joy to work with and quick to respond during the booking & planning process. Vanessa was an absolute powerhouse, no detail was left unturned, and her organization was flawless. She was such a brightness on our wedding day and we are so thankful she was there to run the day and think of all the logistics so we could just enjoy it. Our bridal attendant, Katelyn, was phenomenal, ensuring I (the bride) was catered to at every moment during the getting ready, and when it came time for ceremony & pictures, she was right there when I turned to need something. We can’t thank the Tappan Hill staff enough for putting their best foot forward so we could have our special day. It was the best venue, best food, and best staff. Can’t recommend enough!

The perfect place to get married!

An absolutely exceptional venue! The scenery is iconic in all weather (the fall foliage was remarkable even though it was in the 40s on our wedding day and the staff took care of us to make sure we got our outdoor pictures), the interior and ballrooms are phenomenal - large, well-kept and perfect for a party - and fun, and the staff is absolutely amazing. They made wedding planning a breeze and made sure our day was absolutely perfect. If you get the choice, Vanessa Woodbury was a total superstar as our wedding coordinator and kept all of our vendors, our boisterous guests and our large families on track and partying the whole day. So easy to work with and so fun, Tappan Hill is just the perfect place to get married. We cannot recommend them enough!

Incredible all around

Tappan Hill Mansion was the perfect place for our wedding. The setting is spectacularly beautiful, and the staff unfailingly helpful and skilled — often thinking of what I needed before I even knew I needed it. And the FOOD! So many of our guests came up to us just to comment on how delicious the food was. They have connections to lots of great vendors in the area, too, so they were able to advise us on many other aspects of our wedding.

Also, I have to shout out John and Katelyn for being incredible supports for my partner and me. John's professionalism, and his willingness to answer approximately 1 million questions and field a barrage of random ideas in the months leading up to the wedding, set our minds at ease. And Katelyn's day-of support was incredible. She kept us fed, hydrated, comfortable and at ease during a beautiful whirlwind of a day. And get this: the hem of my dress tore at one point, and she literally whipped out a needle & thread and sewed it on the spot! Talk about going above and beyond.
