Huffington Post Names Onteora "One of the best" in the Hudson Valley

Ecumenical minister and wedding ceremony authority Rev. Judith Johnson paid Onteora a big compliment in her recent articles in the Huffington Post. 

In her first posting she listed Onteora as "One of the top 5 ceremony locations in the Hudson Valley." 

She went on to write:
"Outdoor ceremonies typically take place on the 90-foot deck overlooking the majesty of the mountains. A new indoor dining room with ceiling to floor windows is the perfect setting for indoor ceremonies."

In her second posting, she interviewed Manager Jeremy Hudler concerning his advice to couples about their ceremonies: "be calm, be yourself, be with each other, and have fun."

Part 1 can be found HERE.

 Rev. Johnson is the author of the new book "The Wedding Ceremony Planner" published by Casablanca.  Her website is: www.judithjohnson.com

"When he finally popped the question, I already had a long list of venues I wanted to visit. A week later, we visited the Onteora Mountain House, and from the moment we stepped onto the property, we couldn’t imagine having our big day anywhere else. It felt like home."

Beautiful Fall day at Onteora.

New July Wedding Video!

June Was Busting Out All Over

 With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein we always love the late sunsets and long twilights of our June weddings. Here's a good example of one of those weddings, with photographs by Brooklyn photographer Karen Wise. You can see more of her pictures HERE.

The classic quality of the bride's attire was captured again in the classic arrangements provided by our good friends from Sviba Floral. You can see more of their work HERE.
