Abigail Kirsch Exclusive Properties

Tappan ill Mansion was absolutely PERFECT! Not one thing went wrong on my wedding day! Kathy Policastro was my event manager adn took care of everything! She knew what to expect and prepare and had everything flowing perfectly! The Food was AMAZING! AMAZING! All my guests said the food was AMAZING! From the pre-ceremony champagne to the cocktail hour to the dinner.....Everything came out and looked like it came from a Bon Apitite Magazine! THe VENUE itself is breathtaking! My pictures are gorgeous and it looks like a fairytale. I had my own bridal suite to prepare in and rest. THey worked nonstop for me and took care of everything I could have ever imagined! INCREDIBLE!

We had our wedding in August 2011 at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown. Tappan Hill is a very beautiful place, different than the hotels and normal catering halls that weddings are usually held at. Kathy, our event planner, was fantastic. She really helped us out with our dining choices from the cocktail all the way through to the cake. She also did a great job with all of our families dietary needs due to allergies and such. The entire staff did a great job of paying attention to all our guests and their specific needs. We had a waitor per table and not just for our bride & groom table, every table was assigned a waitor and others to help out. We didn't have to worry about anything, they took care of everything and made sure we were having a good time. The food was spectacular. I was a little worried because we are both Italians and the quality, taste and quantity of food is very important, but we were very happy, there was plenty to go around. The cocktail stations were always full. The dinner dishes were gigantic and full of really good food. We had the Filet Mignon and the Salmon. Both were very delicious. We also had quite a few kids at our wedding and they were very well taken care of. They especially liked the ice cream sunday's at the end of the evening. The wedding was fantastic, the food was great, the place was georgeous. Everything went perfectly, what else could you ask for. I would highly recommend Tappan Hill, our wedding was sophisticated and fun. They definitely know what they are doing.

AMAZING!!! We got married at The Stone Mill in The New York Botanical Garden. I don't know where to begin! First of all, the place is stunning. It has very simple but elegant decor that makes you feel so warm and cozy. I love the wood floors, the white brick walls, and the white wood beams. The cocktail hour was in The Stone Mill Terrace, facing the Bronx River. Absolutely amazing. Guests were free to walk around and enjoy the scenery. The Stone Mill Dining Room was spectacular. My advice, go with very simple flowers because the place speaks for itself. Ok, the food. First, the presentation, incredible! The cocktail hour was soooo good. You almost didn't want to eat it because everything looked so tiny and cute. I loved the different stations, the fact that you always found a waiter walking around with a tray of hors d'oeuvers. Dinner, WOW! Soooo good. I was a little afraid that it wouldn't taste as good as it looked, it honestly tastes better than it looks! And now the best part, dessert. One word. INSANE! The best red velvet cake I've ever had. And you get cake and an extra dessert of your choice, which everyone loved because they weren't expecting it. The staff was so professional, so attentive, and so coordinated. Everybody got their food at the same time and they were extremely friendly. Our maitre d, Stephanie Hill, was AMAZING. She made everything go really smooth and stress free. They worked so well with our dj when it came to coordinating dancing, eating, cutting the cake, etc. We really didn't have to worry about anything at all. They took care of absolutely everything. She even had everything packed for us before leaving, which was so helpful. I really can't say enough good things about her and all the staff at Abigail Kirsch because they made our wedding day unforgettable. I would really rate them a 10 out of 5, that's how amazing they were. Thank you!!!

We had our wedding at the Stone Mill at the New York Botanical Garden. Our coordinator was Paul Richards. From start to finish our experience with Paul and Abigail Kirsch was amazing. He was incredibly accomodating, patient, responsive, and supportive through the entire process and especially on our big day. He really went above and beyond the call of duty. The food was delicious, and everything was beautiful. Thanks Paul!

Tappan Hill was unbelievable!! In particular, Ed S. as an event manager is top-notch. He looked out and made sure everything was runnning smoothly and as we planned. He listened to every detail and did exactly what I had asked. Everything was set up beautifully and so much care was put into making the event flawless. I did not have to worry about a thing. And the food is gourmet and delicious--not your run-of-the-mill wedding hall food. The venue is unique and memorable and we have gotten so many compliments from our guests. You will not be disappointed if you have a wedding at Tappan Hill--everything was perfect.

Perfect place for a wedding! Everything was absolutley amazing!

Wow! Tappan Hill is top of the line all the way. We had the most wonderful reception. The food was outstanding and the flow of the night was seamless. Our guests said it was the most amazing cocktail hour/dinner! Sylvester is the MAN. He was SUPER organized and always one step ahead of the game. He knows his stuff. I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew Sylvester and his team were taking care of everything. I'm not a big "review writer" but I was so impressed with Tappan Hill and their team from start to finish that I felt compelled to share my experience.

We were not disappointed with the party that Tappan Hill put together for us. The food was beyond compare and our autumn ceremony overlooking the river, complete with foliage, was breathtaking! Almost a year married and people are still talking about it!

As soon as we walked into Stage 6 we knew that we’d love to have our reception there. We were looking for something a little different than the standard reception hall that also had a city view and this fit perfectly. The space is modern and spacious and has just a wonderful elegant feel. The view, especially during sunset and dark is just stunning. Stage 6 is an Abigal Kirsch venue; there is no tasting as she goes on reputation alone. We were assigned John as our event coordinator and he was great. He worked very hard to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of. Food: This is not your typical wedding food. The food is “fancy” and delicious! The cocktail hour consisted of 8 passed hor devours and 2 stations. Dinner is a 4 course meal plus wedding cake. The food presentation is beautiful and everyone was raving about it. Atmosphere: Elegant, modern and beautiful. When you walk in, you get the feeling that you are in for something special. Service: The service was amazing, everything was taken care of. The staff was on top of everyone’s needs. To quote my aunt’s email: “Your wedding was awesome and I had a great great time. No complaints from me, which you know is a rarity for me. LOL! Everything was impeccable.”

Amazing. Truly amazing. Everyone raved about the food. And the view was spectacular. Before our wedding, when people heard we were getting married at Stage 6, everyone who had been to an event there kept telling us how happy we'd be. And they were right. Particular thanks to John Ianiello, our wedding coordinator, who kept everything running smoothly for the whole event. He was just fantastic. If you're thinking of having your wedding here, I say do it. We couldn't have been happier.

I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Tappan Hill, and especially about our event manager, Kathy Policastro. First, the setting, food and service at Tappan Hill is incomparable. The food is amazing - before having gone to a wedding at Tappan Hill a year and a half before ours, I would have never thought "wedding food" could be amazing. We had our ceremony outside with a gorgeous view of the Hudson. A few deer friends even watched the ceremony from the lawn. The best part of our experience at Tappan Hill was definitely working with our event manager Kathy. During the planning of our wedding, she was extremely flexible - both in timing of meetings as well as going through the menu and the day to make sure she understood what we wanted and adjusting the menu to fit our ideas. On the wedding day, Kathy was on top of everything and ran the whole day/all of our vendors so smoothly and efficiently so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Overall, Tappan Hill was the ideal location for our wedding and we can't thank Kathy enough for all of her hard work!

I cannot say enough good things about AK/Susan/Michael and their team. The team were very responsive to us during the whole process - from planning to the actual day of. Anytime we had a question, either Susan or Michael got back to us within 24 hrs. (cannot top that!) On the actual day, everything came out better than we could have expected. The food was delicious and the garden was beautiful. I am really looking forward to getting our photos back from our photographer. I would totally recommend AK to anyone.

Absolutely amazing is all I can say. Our wedding was a dream come true. Once we selected all of the vendors, John (the coordinator) took over and ensured the day of everything was in order. We didn't have to worry about anything but ourselves. The food presentation and taste were fabulous; don't worry about their policy regarding tasting as you will not be disappointed. We've been married almost a year and friends and family are still talking about our wedding. Highly recommend this venue...You definitely get what you pay for!!

Absolutely incredible. Our wedding was held at this venue two weeks ago and it was just amazing. The food was fabulous, the site was gorgeous, but the best thing about the party was the flow. You work with an event coordinator who ensures that every minute of the party is perfect. We worked with Ed and he was just fabulous. He ensured that our guests had an amazing time and everyone and everything was just as it should be. We got so many complements on the event. All our guests said they loved that every minute of the wedding was fun and flowed into the next. If you have your wedding here you will not be disappointed.

We had both our ceremony and reception at Tappan Hill in October 2009 and had a fabulous time. The location itself is absolutely gorgeous, service was impeccable and food was DELICOUS. I received tons of compliments both during the wedding and afterwards (emails, phone calls, even thank you cards) from guests raving about the menu. It's not inexpensive but it was all worth it. Our event manager, Kathy Palicastro, was also FANTASTIC. She had everything run seamlessly.

Service was impeccable. Food was excellent. The entire night was stress-free. Tappan Hill went out of their way to accommodate our preferences and personalize our wedding. Well worth the price of admission.

Tappan Hill was the PERFECT place to have my wedding! We would not have changed a single thing about our day. We could not he happier with our experience there. The food was EXCELLENT, everyone who came is still raving about the beauty and ambiance, and the service was impeccable.

We keep hearing it was the best wedding people have ever been to!! Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill has outstanding sercvice. Our event manager was there with is the entire evening to make sure everything ran smoothly and nothing would get in the way of good time. The food was phenomenal - I can't say that enough. A friend of mine told me she ate the lima beans off her plate and she doesn't even like lima beans!! The wedding was over two months ago and people are still talking about it!!

Outstanding in every aspect.

Abigail Kirsch was seriously amazing. Michael Lavan our Event planner was brilliant and our wedding was truly made perfect because of their attention to detail and thoroughness. I don't think I have ever worked with a caterer better than Abigail Kirsch.
