“We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. The Arnold House encompasses everything we wanted for our wedding weekend - the charm and warmth of the Catskills, a low maintenance energy with high quality offerings, and a versatile venue where each space felt uniquely different (even if we had to use the same room twice...cue cold weather and rain!) to make each night feel like its own unique experience and special moment. Working with the Arnold House: From the start, they were so flexible on making sure that what was important to us worked. For example, we had preferences on specific food and wines and the AH team made it so easy to swap (and even source!) what we wanted. This team has an incredible ability to transform each space into a beautiful one, from the spreads they put out, the greenery they pick as decor, the furniture they arrange, and all the small touches in between that matter...we are so impressed. Additionally, they were helpful to make our guest experience the best possible - accommodating special requests and just generally being warm and inviting people. Lastly, the Arnold House itself is always continuing to add and improve their offerings. So we were met with nice surprises throughout our wedding planning process. For example we got to benefit from new chairs and dinner tables, something we no longer had to think about renting. The Space and Food: Wow! Our band and dance party in the greenhouse was pure magic. And our sit down dinner in the barn was beautiful and romantic. At first we were a bit concerned about having the dance party in a separate room from dinner - but it worked out really well and actually was nice to let those who wanted to dance, dance, and those who wanted to sit and chat be able to easily do that too. We didn’t get to eat much (even though we swore we wouldn’t be those people) but our guests all said the food was great and we can say for certain that we loved the burrata, oysters, trout drip, flank steak, and pumpkin pie!! Friday was intimate and inviting in Shandelee Hall/the Sun Room with the fire burning and the wine flowing. Wood fired pizzas were perfect. The Tavern: It’s own unique experience and space - unique from everywhere else on the property. Pool table and “divey-ish” vibes - a perfect setting for junk food and afterparty. Sunday brunch was simply gorgeous in the greenhouse. Food was simple, but good, and displayed beautifully. Overall: As you can tell from this being the first review, this place feels like a really well kept secret. Having now had our wedding here, we want to shout how great the Arnold House is from the rooftop. If you’re reading this right now, trust us… make the call and visit the Arnold House! Emily and the whole team were fantastic and made our weekend feel really special. The Arnold House will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you team Arnold House for the most wonderful wedding weekend.”

“I have been happily collaborating with the BVI team on a variety of events for 5 years now, primarily weddings. I am referred to the potential client by the BVI team, and I work with the client and the venue from there on in. It is always a success! Nothing makes me happier than to have a few BVI events in my DJ calendar. The team here are great! Pleasant professionals, that know how to deliver the best experience for the client. They look after their partnering vendors, bringing you in as part of the team, and (personally) part of the family. Technical & Logistics: Whether the event is inside the facilities or the acreage, all DJ needs are met. BVI works with local event/staging companies that provide the needed risers, DMX control panels, tasteful illumination, redundant power grids, quality dance floors, and beautiful tents. Setup & teardown is fluid, with multiple access and egress points throughout the facilities. Depending on the size of the event, rooms may be available at the BVI if you choose to stay for the night. Alternatively, having access to pool house showers and changing rooms, give the option to prepare yourself professionally for the event ahead. The team at BVI are a fun bunch who deliver the best of experiences. I look forward to our next collaboration! Stephen”
