    Absolutely Beautiful Location!!

    The location is beautiful! So many spots for beautiful photos through out the day! Erin, Sal, Denise and the rest of the staff was amazing! Our guest were raving about the food and how amazing it was! I was able to see the reception room transform during the day, and the staff did an amazing job setting everything up and making our wedding dreams coming true! We couldn't be happier with how things turned out! We highly recommend Settles Hill to anyone and everyone!!

    The perfect venue

    Martin and the team at Settles hill made our wedding day beyond perfect. Martin made sure everything went smooth and everyone was where they needed to be. The food was amazing and our guests couldn’t rave about it enough. It was an absolutely perfect day and I was truly able to enjoy it thanks to Martin and crew.

    We loved Settles Hill. The outdoor ceremony space was beautiful, and the reception area was ideal. Martin was very helpful. My mother and i made three quilts we wanted to display at the wedding, and even though there was no easy way to hang them up Martin was able to hang them in a prominent position. Just an example of the great service available at Settles Hill. Best value in the area as well.

    My husband and I got married at Settles Hill this past September and can't brag enough about the service we received at Settles Hill. Not only were Martin, Sal, and staff professional and friendly, but they also went above and beyond to make our day perfect. For example, we had an issue with another vendor and Martin did everything he could to correct it even when it wasn't their fault.. In addition to outstanding service, the food was AMAZING!! Our guests still tell us how delicious everything was and we loved everything we had. Thank you Settles Hill!

    My fiancé and I knew we wanted a reception venue that was not a hotel ballroom and that captured fall in upstate New York at its best. We visited a few other places but they were too "rustic," which was not our theme. When we walked in Settles Hill and saw the beautiful hardwood floors of their banquet room, we knew we had found our venue. The grounds of SH allowed us to get our first-look photos with autumn as the backdrop. Martin was more than helpful throughout the entire process. We wanted a station reception and he and Sal (the owner) allowed us to basically make up our menu and even let my mom design the layout of the tables as we were using both circle and rectangular tables. Everything went smoothly on the day-of and all of our guests commented on how great the food was. A small thing did get overlooked for cocktail hour (but no one was any the wiser) and Martin made sure to reimburse us personally before we left at the end of our reception. Overall we were so so happy with Settles Hill. They were amazing and helped make our day so special.

    Martin, Sal and all of the staff at Settles Hill are wonderful to work with. Every single time I visited Settles Hill (and I visited quite a few times) everyone greeted me with a smile, offered something to drink and made me feel at ease. The food was wonderful and everything from the parking lot to the bathrooms were very well kept. I view quite a few other venues that either had pretty exteriors but were lacking on the interiors or had a beautiful reception space but didn't quite have the feel of the outdoor ceremony space I was looking for. Settles Hill looks just as beautiful on the inside as it does on the outside. They have a lot of really pretty seasonal decor which makes it easy to focus your budget on personal touches instead of starting from scratch. Martin was always willing to meet my requests and make the wedding ours. He was very responsive to my phone calls and e-mails and made sure everything went very smoothly. We were able to set up most everything prior to our rehearsal (as we got married on a Friday) so that on the day of the wedding all I had to worry about was getting married. And because every thing had been laid out so well prior to - I didn't even have anything to worry about! After the wedding Martin and his team packed up everything we had left behind and stored it for us so we could pick it up the next day. I honestly don't have one bad thing to say about the place. You will not be disappointed!
    Thank you!

    Tyson and I celebrated our Happily Ever After at Settles Hill October 10th, and there are barely words to describe how perfect our special day was! Every single detail was executed exactly as we had envisioned it. Our guests are still talking about how impressed they were with everything from the friendliness of the staff to the decorations to the amazing food to how flawlessly the whole day progressed from ceremony to reception. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Martin, you are the best! Thank you to you and the entire Settles Hill staff!

    We had our wedding on Friday October 9th. We had booked the event last October 2014. Martin was great to work with and then we meet with MaryBeth who was in charge of setting everything up for our wedding, she was wonderful to work with as well. One of the main reasons we chose this venue was because of the beautiful outdoor ceremony site they have, we based out entire ceremony off of it being outside, well it rained ALL day long (we were both so upset there was a chance our dream ceremony was not going to happen like we had hoped for) Well about 30 minutes before the ceremony was to begin, all of a sudden, the sky opened up and the rain started to clear, Martin and his crew were wonderful.....they all grabbed a punch of towels and went out and wiped down every single chair so me and my wife could have the ceremony we both dreamed of! They made it happen and it was amazing! From there the rest of the night was everything we had wished it would be! And the food was AMAZING!!! I recommend Settle Hills as they went above and beyond to make our wedding day beautiful and memorable for both us and all our guests.
    I also don't want to forget how Martin helped me fulfill my the most important part of my wedding ceremony for me, my father passed away about a year and a half ago so I wanted to include him in my ceremony but was not able to find what I needed to do so, well Martin was able to!! My father was a pigeon racer and Martin was able to help me find someone to release pigeons during our wedding ceremony in honor of my father!! It was amazing and I can't thank Martin enough for helping me find pigeons! It meant the world to me!!

    I would absolutely recommend Settle Hills to anyone looking for a wonderful place to have the biggest day of their lives :)

    We had our wedding at Settles Hill on August 8th and it was perfect! Martin and Marybeth did such an amazing job putting together all of our ideas- it all came out so beautifully. They were with us every step of the planning period, and offered advice when needed. They were also very accommodating for my 91 year old grandmother, and provided her with a special chair so it would be easier for her to get up. Everything ran smoothly and they were prepared to deal with any and all issues that could have arisen (which thankfully, no big ones did!). The setting is perfect for anyone looking for a "country" wedding that is elegant. The ceremony area is just lovely. Our guests raved about the food (and there is a lot of food!) and the space itself. The cocktail bar room is stunning. Marybeth made

    This place is a hidden gem. I first saw it for my brothers rehearsal dinner years ago and when it was my turn to get married I knew exactly where to go. The outdoor space is amazing and beautiful for an outdoor wedding. The staff is amazing and the food is to die for. I could not be happier with my choice.

    Martin is AMAZING. I would recommend this venue to everyone! They have reasonable prices and are very accommodating to everything you may want to do. There are no extra fees like cake cutting and such. Everything is included and they really care about your day. My wedding was so successful because of Martin and his crew!

    We had a wonderful wedding ceremony and reception at Settles Hill. The Banquet Manager, Martin, was super helpful throughout the whole planning process and the day of. Thank god he was there as he answered everyone's questions and helped us, the Bride and Groom, focus on our wedding and not all the details. The staff was absolutely great to work with, everyone was polite, attentive, and kind to us and our guests. The food was excellent, I am still receiving phone calls and texts about how great everything was. You know they take great pride in their food when the owner himself is one of the chefs. The price was unbeatable for the service and quality you receive. We fell in love with this place right away and are so glad we did. The ceremony was delightful and elegant as was the reception. Hard to find places that include a lot of things for the prices they offer. I would highly recommend Settles Hill to any and all and I will. We will be going back for their Sunday brunches they have between November and March. Well worth a visit!! Thank you Settles Hill for helping us throw such a fantastic wedding!!

    We found everyone at Settles Hill to be way beyond what we could have hoped for on our special day. We wanted things to be a bit different then the usual wedding (being a older couple), Martin( the banquet Manager) helped us come up with different ideas ,to keep with our idea of simple and elegant.
    Our cocktail hour was so wonderful ! Everyone was warm and friendly , even when I asked for a few scallops wrapped in bacon because my husband hadn't had any , they went , got more and brought it right to him.
    Dinner was delicious and our desert was a sundae bar( per Martins suggestion because we didn't want a cake),so different and everyone raved about it.
    Thank you very much Martin and the staff at Settles Hill Banquet House!
    Steve and Ginny
