Weddingbee boards

The Grand View would be my top pick if you want something with a river view. The weddings I've worked/attended have been pretty flawless and are always gorgeous. The food is fantastic too.

West Point (Thayer Hotel) has beautiful views too. Great wedding spot.

Other restaurants (for showers, RDs, etc.) in the Poughkeepsie area:

Amici's     www.amicis-restaurant.com

Riverstation    www.riverstationrest.com

Shadows on the Hudson (part of The Grand View complex) www.shadowsonthehudson.com

Cosimo's    www.cosimospoughkeepsie.com

Torches (other side of the river- Beacon, NY) They also do catered boat tours on the Hudson- that are AWESOME!     www.torchesonthehudson.com

There's plenty more I'll let you know if I think of more.

There are some fantastic historic mansions overlooking the river that would be great for weddings too. Check out this site.

and The Clermont Historic Site. The website is hoaky but the place is definitely worth a look.
