The way they decorated was perfect with buffet food service and a mimosa/bellini station. Guests were also able to purchase beverages at the bar and the bartender also provided us with plenty of ice cold water which was nice on such a hot and humid day. They have clean bathrooms and many opportunities to personalize an event. I would definitely suggest this space to friends for a bridal or baby shower and any other small scale party or event.

The Kerry Hall is a beautiful setting for a great, big Irish celebration, or for any celebration…read morefor that matter. I had my Uncle's 90th birthday party there and it could not have been more perfect. We had eleven tables with ten seats at each table and there was still plenty of room to dance. It was immaculately clean, the layout of the bar, coat room, bathroom, kitchen, tables, dance floor, the buffet table area, and a small stage area for the music was the perfect layout. It was also easily accessible to walk in for the elderly or for wheelchairs. Frank was such a great help in renting the hall to me, and Tricia, that manage the party, prepared everything for me the day of the party. She was not only professional, she was exceptionally personable and could not have been more helpful, or work any harder, to make my party the success that it was. I could not be more thankful to both of them. It is also a great central location for my family coming from Long Island, Queens, Rockland County and NJ. Definitely a great place to have any type of a celebration. I am sure to be back!

I came here for a Halloween party in Oct '17 thrown by Matte/The Danger List. I'll be reviewing…read morejust the space and not the event, although the event was awesome!!! Alder Manor is also referred to as the W.B. Thompson Mansion. Built in 1912, it's an officially protected historical site. First built by a mining magnate, then turned into a high school, then a junior college, then abandoned. At this point in its history it doesn't come off as a perfectly preserved landmark, which gives it much of its character. It is filled with rooms upon rooms, some of which are still waiting for restoration. Behind it is a newer building, looking very much like a small HS. The property is nice and large. Although not in prestige condition, it gives off a strong sense of elegance. I'm not sure what the price would be to rent the space. But whether it be an elaborate party or a massive wedding, this would be a fantastic space for most events.

We got married at Alder Manor this past fall. Overall it was an amazing place to get married and we…read morehighly recommend it. The garden is romantic and wild, and there are a variety of outdoor spaces that can be used for cocktails. The hall is huge and beautiful with many rooms that you are free to use - perfect for designing your event in whatever way you like. There are great dining spaces, dancing spaces, and lounge spaces with vaulted ceilings, marble, and hard wood with many lighting options. They are just getting going as a major event space and some things can be improved. Here are some specifics of our experience that might be helpful both to them and to you if you are planning an event there: On the Caterer - Sergio, owner of Chefs at Work is the exclusive caterer for the event space. He is an outstanding chef, will work long and hard with you to ensure that the food is exactly what you want, and it will be delicious and beautifully presented. That's the very good news. The less good news is that he is not a good manager. He went through several event managers while we were working with him and just when we would get to know one and actually get our phone calls returned, she would disappear and we would have to start over. Hopefully this was just growing pains and he will find someone permanent who will take over that side of the operation. Be a little careful there though if you are the kind of person who gets frustrated with not having phone calls returned. Make sure he has someone who is planning to be around for a while (or even better by the time you read this, has actually already been around for a while) and can take on the event-planning side of things. On the Florist - Susan, the house florist (not required) is not to be recommended. We started with her as a default because she knows the event space. Her quote came out a factor of two higher than another local florist for the same set of flowers so we were thinking of hiring the other florist. We talked it over with Susan and she said that she could bring the price down to something reasonable by using in-season flowers, etc. We agreed on a specific set of flowers that we love, wrote specifics into the contract, and signed on with her. Unfortunately, the flowers that showed up were not the flowers that we agreed on and the larger arrangements in particular were really not very nice. We were very disappointed. To make matters worse, part of the contract specified that she was to bring baby bush roses to be used to the cake. She didn't do this at all and we ended up having to scramble with some full-sized roses brought for something else. Find someone else.

For a reasonable rate, you rent the location, catering of food, servers and decor if you need it. It was a huge success! Steve and his staff were super friendly and helpful. This is a great location for any venue, especially in the spring and summer when you can go outdoors by the lake. Alas, ours was a winter celebration but the view was still fantastic and the added snow just added a magical quality to the whole thing. This is a great option, especially here in the Bronx where choices are few!

A few people came in and out while we dined and everyone seemed to be friends. It was really cute. The restaurant was clean, our server (mature woman with an Irish accent) was so so sweet and upbeat. My partner ordered coffee and at first she told us the machine wasn't working, but a little while later she sent one of the workers across the street to fetch some. I got the fish and chips and my partner got the 3 egg omelette, where you also get to pick 3 fillings. The food was prepared fresh and came out nice and hot. The prices were great too, I think we both ate for around $40. I wanted to take advantage of the $6 brunch mimosas, but they had a sign up saying that they only accept New York IDs. Odd, but ok!

My review is completely on attending an event at the Castle--I do not know anything about planning…read moreevents with them etc. The service staff were very friendly and prompt for the Baby Shower I attended. The bartenders also were super efficient and friendly when making drinks. Even the coat check employee was friendly and very efficient. The food was catered from an outside Indian Restaurant and it was AMAZING. The venue was very nice and comfortable--they had decorated the stage for the Baby Shower and they also had a very fun photo booth. The large banquet room was nice and spacious (this was a VERY large Baby Shower-almost similar to a wedding). I have to admit--I did not feel like I was in Yonkers (it felt more like an upscale/safe area of Westchester.) I look forward to getting invited to another event in the future at this venue.

We had visited this place in January and fell in love with it, and thought that it was perfect due to the view of the water, and the cocktail hour as well as ballroom plus the bar. Also due to large families on both sides, we were looking at catering halls to have my dad's party at. It was a perfect setup! This was also the first place we went to while party planning, and the one we decided on, ultimately due to price. Can't remember the name of the person who helped us, but very communicative and understood our needs. My only suggestion is to maybe provide the planning people to try their food. He listened to our needs, and was accommodating, which is important. Even threw in cocktail hour options for us. Party day was Saturday May 10th 2025. Loved the outdoor area as being outside was enjoyable. Cocktail hour was also enjoyable with foods like chicken dumpling, coconut shrimp, and more! They had plenty of cold stuff like pasta salads, salad, butternut squash, and some fruit. Only feedback is maybe more items like potato salad, maybe have some of the hot items so that people can just get up and get more. then came time to be inside the ballroom-- and it was beautiful and big! There was dancing, cocktails, and fun galore. Loved my shirley temple that i ordered-- with the waitress. Speaking about the waitresses, they were very pleasant- however, they did take items off the table that maybe someone wasn't done with that item. Trust me, i've been a server at a restaurant- silent serving is a thing, but never assume someone is done, or take their plates without asking. that's my only feedback-- oh and my mom asked that the favors be on the tables, and there was 2: a bottle opener, and something else plus a pen. My mom asked to evenly spread out throughout the tables, but some people got the same favors..... okay. Maybe whoever did that didn't know that there was 2 different items. anyways. Food was also very good: our option was menu options with pasta, which was penne ala vodka, salad, and an entree choice of figlet magion, salmon, and chicken sambolka. There are more options for the dinner, but we chose that. Food was very good, and lots of people like their food. I liked the salmon, for instance. others like their steak, although the lighting made it look well-done when they ordered medium! lol Sundae bar was the best, but there should have been more toppings like gummy bears, or worms, chocolate syrup, whipped cream! Athough kudos that they had both vanila and chocolate ice cream. Cake was also very good and moist too! Loved it here and highly recommend!

Admission is completely free, although donations are accepted to help preserve this incredible place--which is amazing considering how well maintained it is. It's the perfect destination to spend about two hours, whether you want to enjoy a peaceful stroll, take plenty of photos, or do a little of both. The breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the Palisades make the visit even more memorable. There's also plenty of free parking, which makes getting there easy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that it can get fairly crowded on beautiful weekends, but it's absolutely worth visiting and returning to throughout the year.
