The History of Tappan Hill Mansion

Nestled on a hilltop overlooking the beautiful Hudson Valley, the historic Tappan Hill Mansion was originally part of Mark Twain’s estate. Can you imagine how gorgeous it would be if it helped inspire some of his greatest writing? As Abigail Kirsch expanded, the company knew this had to be on their list of extraordinary venues. 

4 Reasons Why We Love the Venue

  1. Easily accessible yet feels remote – Located in Tarrytown, NY, the charming stone mansion is just 45 minutes from Manhattan. You will realize after leaving the city from all the lights and the noise how nice it is to be at this retreat of a venue.
  2. Endless backdrops and photo opportunities – From the vibrant colored leaves in the fall to pastel blooms in the spring, the landscaping is flawless. The newly renovated garden is the perfect place for an intimate first look. The natural beauty of the river and hillside complement the manicured gardens well. Inside, the grand entryway and spiral staircase lend themselves to gorgeous bird’s eye shots. The mansion offers everything from traditional ballrooms to romantic, airy terraces. Hardwood floors and exposed stone provide additional texture and warmth to the atmosphere.
  3. Luxury experience with a “welcome home” feel—personalized attention with no rushed feelings. You’re instantly greeted with warm hospitality regardless of the AK venue you visit. Their service is second to none, and you’ll receive a truly personalized experience. At Tappan Hill, sophistication meets a tranquil retreat.
  4. Exceptional Cuisine for all palettes and dietary needs. This is where they stand out among other venues. With an in-house chef and culinary team, you won’t have to go out and find your own.
