Beautiful and Wonderful Wedding Venuw
Lisa Cranton Heller - 15 December 2025
The grounds of A Private Estate are beautiful beyond description. We could not have been happier. Ripley (owner) and Jack (property manager) worked with us throughout the planning process and the event itself to help make our daughter’s and her now wife’s wedding perfect. It allowed us to focus on enjoying the wedding, our guests, and on our daughter’s happiness. We are from nearby Rhinebeck and looked at a number of wedding venues along the river. We chose A Private Estate because of the setting but got so much more. The lawn allows for sweeping views of the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains. Ripley’s recommendations of the various vendors during the planning was invaluable. On the weekend of the wedding, Jack worked with the vendors to make the everything flow seamlessly from the time things were being setup through the wedding itself. Due to the small number of weddings they host every year, the attention to our daughter and her wife’s wedding was extraordinary. The large size of the property provided complete privacy. We highly recommend the venue! We also rented the Carriage House and it definitely added to the overall experience for the bridal party.
