Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This historic campus occupies a picturesque perch above the rolling hills of the Palisades, and the scenery alone is worth talking about: think stately brick buildings, lush greenery, and a Quad that transforms come autumn, making the whole place feels like something out of a storybook.
- Thoughtfully designed to nestle perfectly into the curve of a hillside and surrrounded by leafy dogwoods, the nondenominational Hand Chapel is an architecturally stunning backdrop for intimate gatherings. Post Hall boasts a more traditional Old World charm, with antique furnishings selected by Marjorie Merriweather Post herself, a gleaming marble fireplace, and a broad terrace overlooking the campus grounds.
- You're welcome to bring your own chosen caterer and vendors, providing plenty of flexibility in designing your day while respecting your budget. For a little extra help, you can book the in-house planner for a truly reasonable fee—they'll guide you through the process and help manage the details so you don't have to.
