Would book again JUST for Althea
Just had my wedding here this past weekend. From the start of LAST year, Althea has been so easy to communicate with no matter how many times I emailed. I hired a day of coordinator to help with timeline, decor, etc and when I say she fell through, she fell through. She was over 2 hours late the day of, my bridemaids and Althea ended up stepping in and setting up all my decor. Althea was honestly the best part of the experience because she did everything she could to keep me stress free. After the ceremony she brought my husband and I a plate of the cocktail appetizers to make sure we ate. She prepared our plates as the tables were being called. She was just a gem. The weather wasn’t the BEST and our rented heater was broken, but i didn’t care. The lake was the selling point, but Althea really made the venue worth it.
Magical!!
I literally cannot say enough good things about Van Cortlandt Golf Lake House. Our experience here was truly magical and more than we could have ever dreamed of. We had our wedding reception here recently and we were blessed with amazing, warm weather that day. Our guests could not stop gushing about how beautiful the fall foliage, the ducks/geese, and the lake itself looked. That is part of the magic of this event space -- having the covered outdoor deck allows you to truly appreciate the natural beauty of the surrounding nature. In addition, the tent has these wonderful string lights that add to a romantic and joyful ambiance. We chose minimal centerpieces and decorations - books, candles, and potted flowers - but I think the space can look great no matter what someone's personal style is. The second greatest thing about this site is definitely the special events coordinator, Althea. She was absolutely wonderful in helping us navigate the process. She was very friendly, accommodating, and supportive before, during, and even after the reception itself. She's truly an expert coordinator and I am so grateful that we were able to work with her because of how above and beyond she went. (Thank you so much, Althea!!!) Everything was perfect -- the food was delicious (especially the cheese tortellini), parking was easily available, the venue is wheelchair accessible, and for our 80-person wedding, it definitely did not feel cramped at all. Lastly, it did not break the bank while still being a lovely, memorable experience.
My September Wedding
I went to visit the venue early March and booked my September wedding. Althea was great. She's kind, professional and helpful. I loved the vintage/antique vibe I got from the upstairs locker room. My getting ready and first glance photos came out phenomenal! Biggest Pro is the lakefront view, it’s just absolutely beautiful. My guests really enjoyed the food and ambiance. The food was better than expected, flavorful and good portions! My biggest criticism is the poor maintenance of the venue. The indoor floors needed a good cleaning/waxing and the outside grass was not freshly mowed and extremely muddy. This made it super difficult for myself and my party to walk down the aisle. It sucked trying to dodge puddles of mud in my white wedding dress. I thought the grounds would've been (mowed, upkept and cleaned) before my event. That was the biggest downfall, but I'm pretty sure it's something that could be fixed if addressed earlier.
Everything We Could Have Dreamed Of
We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Van Cortlandt Lake House! Althea was amazing every step of the way, and the location right on the water was beautiful for both our ceremony on the grass and the reception on the patio. We had about 90 guests and a 9-piece live band, and there was still plenty of space to dance! The food was also excellent, and we were able to choose signature cocktails for the two brides. Excellent value for the price--they took care of everything to make our special day run seamlessly!
