The Links at Union Vale

The BEST place to have a wedding in the Hudson Valley! The atmosphere and views are amazing. The food is to die for and Teri is wonderful! She made our day and the days leading up to the wedding relaxing and worry-free.

Teri and Doreen, we can't thank you enough for the outstanding professionalism and service you provided us on our daughter's wedding day. Everything was perfect, right down to the very last detail. You put our minds at ease, allowing us to just enjoy a day we'll always remember.

I couldn't have been happier with the service and treatment we received at The Links. It's a wonderful place to be married. Beautiful surroundings, attentive staff. Your event is the only one taking place there that day so you are their main focus. Just wish I had more time to enjoy it, the day went by so fast! Highly recommend The Links for your wedding!

I can't say enough about the Links at Union Vale. Teri and her team made my day amazing.

My husband and I got married at The Links on 10-16-10. After getting engaged we visited multiple Hudson Valley wedding venues looking for an outdoor setting for our ceremony and a lovely indoor reception venue. The Links was the only venue where we found these things and did not feel like we were just another wedding to get in and out the door. The staff and location felt personal and the package offerings were well priced and designed with the guests as well as the wedding party in mind. The food and drink included in the package price was of excellent quality and presentation. We were able to go to bridal shows at the links and taste most of the food that we had to select from for our cocktail hour and reception. We were also able to attend the Links for private tastings during other weddings, where we were able to meet with the wonderful chef and get his personal recommendations for the menu. During the months approaching our wedding Teri, Bridgette and Doreen were ALWAYS available by phone or in person for any questions we had. They were very flexible for the DIY bride such as myself. We were so happy with the Links in the months approaching our wedding that we decided to have our rehearsal dinner there as well. The days before the wedding I was able to drop off my centerpieces, decorations, favors, bathroom baskets etc and all of these things were perfectly arranged for us the day of the wedding without extra charges or hidden fees, we did not have to worry about ANYTHING! The day of our wedding, the weather was questionable..... cold, windy and a high chance of rain. The ceremony was set up on the covered patio instead of on the lawn..... 45 minutes before the start of the ceremony the sky cleared without a cloud, the wind stopped and the sun was shining. Teri, Doreen and all of the links staff - even the cooks! were out moving chairs, flowers, ribbons and decorations out on to the lawn so that we could have our dream setting! The cocktail hour and reception were perfect, seamless and FUN! Doreen, Teri and the staff were so organized. The food was great! It came out hot, on time and our guests LOVED it! The pastry garden cake included in our package was to die for. We wish we could do our wedding day all over again - and my husband and I would not change a thing.

My husband and I got married at The Links on September 18, 2010. I can not say enough about how wonderful it was to work with The Links. The banquet manager, Teri Stellato was a dream to work with. She made the entire process smooth, easy and enjoyable. There are several great things about the Links but to name a few: they only do one wedding per day, the food was delicious, the staff was professional and courteous, they were extremely flexible and everything ran like clock work on the day of my wedding. Many of my guests that I have spoken to since the wedding raved about The Links. You will not be disappointed if you choose to get married here!

• We loved the Links at Union Vale and would recommend it to any bride and groom! Teri, Doreen, and the entire team at the Links took great care of us from day one. The Links was the first phone call I made as a clueless and terrified bride-to-be! Teri talked me through everything that I needed to know to set up my first visit. The Links was also very flexible with package options to accommodate our budget. The food and staff were awesome. Because we were the only wedding that day we have the flexibility of choosing our own start and end time. But, the thing that I thought they did the best was allow us to personalize our wedding. We weren’t just another cookie-cutter wedding. They let us add personal touches throughout the day including things that resulted in extra work for their staff (like setting up a candy bar) and they did it all – with a smile and without any additional fees! Can’t beat that!!

We had the best and most memorable experience at The Links. Teri is the easiest vendor I worked with...she always made us feel like we were the number one priority and was flexible in areas that she could be as well as helpful in her suggestions. looking back, I can't imagine having our wedding any place else!

I can’t even put into words how wonderful my whole experience with The Links was!!! Since the moment I walked in to view the hall and meet Teri the coordinator, I knew that I was going to have my wedding there. Teri was so responsive to my calls and e-mails and really went above and beyond to make my reception perfect. Planning my wedding there was such a great experience. The day of, I didn’t have to worry about anything – everything was set up exactly as I wanted and even some extras were thrown in. The food was spectacular and so was the service. I think just about every one of our guests came up to us and complimented us on the food and service!

My experience with the links was great. I booked our event a little over a year in advance, and was able to lock the $89/pp rate. I was planning my wedding from both abroad and Buffalo, NY, and they were very good with replying to my emails and phone calls. I meet with them a few times to discuss the ceremony, food, cake and decorations. Because I was coming from so far away they would work around my schedule. So I actually met with them on a early Sunday morning. I liked... the fact that one price included everything (food, drinks, cake, linens, cocktail hour; no extra fees, only tax and gratuities). We loved the fact that we were able to have Peruvian/Dominican food. During the big day we had one waitress taking care of us, and she was great. Always on top of what we needed, specially our drinks. Also we had a signature drink, mango cosmo, loved it! Our ceremony was outdoors and it was amazing (yes there were a few golfers around, but most of them stayed away once the ceremony started). They were very flexible when it came down about decorations, they offered to provide us with chair covers for an extra fee but were perfectly fine when we brought our own (which was much cheaper). I was happy to see that they took care of every detail in the tables (favors, special linens we provided, bells, names, etc) and did not have a problem when my friends arrived extra early to decorate the room. And I have to say I loved my cake. Honestly I don't think there was one thing I disliked. It is true that during the reception their restaurant was open (which was at the other side of the building), but never saw any of their customers come over to our side.

What I liked: Beautiful setting for outdoor ceremony, great ballroom, bridal suite, newer bldg, clean, up-to-date, $80pp includes cocktail hour, 5 hr reception with house brand open bar, wedding cake from Pastry Garden, only one wedding per day. The food is very good, not 5 star but much better than most wedding food I have had. I would go eat there in the restaurant. Value for the price is excellent for the Hudson Valley/close to Westchester/NYC area. The waitstaff was excellent. My guests never went thirsty. What I didn't like: There are golfers on the property & clubhouse (not ballroom area) during weddings but they were no bother at all to me- I just thought some brides might not like that so I should mention it. I found the banquet manager to be inflexible, cold unwilling to work with me at times. It kind of ruined that part of the experience for me and almost made me want to go elsewhere. The Maitre de was okay, though a little pushy at times. We specifically asked that the bridal party be catered to, as they are often pulled aside for the cocktail hour for photos and forgotten- we were assured we have 1-2 people assigned to us and we got nothing! There was a small buffet in the bridal suite but we couldn't get there! I had to recruit guests to go get us food & drinks- not good! Pricing breakdown: $80pp house liquor or $89pp top shelf. $5pp ceremony fee if on-site. Add 18% service charge and NY tax at 8.125%. Everything is subject to tax and servic charge. Chair covers are a must (ugly chairs) -they charge $6.50/chair or you can get your own & they charge $1.50/chair to put them on. I went on eBay, bought brand new for $3/chair incl. shipping and sold them when done to recoop costs. Overall, the value for the money is great. I just wish the higher staff were more pleasant and accomodating.
