Working with her was fantastic and she really knows what she's doing. The bartenders that came were phenomenal! Shana was a joy to work with and she made sure all the guests had drinks in their hands and became part of the family! This will definitely not be the last time I book a party with them! If you haven't booked them yet you're missing out!

They provide a personalized and nuanced touch to private parties and special events.....a service we have been lacking in Fairfield County! Stacey has so many great ideas and to make a party fun and different! For example, they craft specialty cocktail menus with freshly squeezed fruit juices and inventive garnishes, or have provided tequila tastings and bottled Mexican beers to Cinco de Mayo themed parties......and this was in addition to a regular full bar service! Lifted Spirits has been extremely happy to accommodate every request for even our most discerning clients, and added lots of little touches I wouldn't have thought of myself!! They even give the specialty cocktails funny names relevant to each party. The bar set up is always beautiful and in theme....and they are flexible to stay later if asked. We work seamlessly together and I would highly recommend them to any of my valued clients.

We had an incredible dining experience so we knew the next day, the wedding day, that the food would be delicious. First and foremost, the venue itself is stunning - featuring gorgeous marbling and chandeliers, in addition to a beautiful balcony type area outside - where the reception was held, in addition to ample seating and great photo ops with the bridge over the water. The food at cocktail hour was exceptional. Our bride and groom had a carving station, pasha station and crudite in addition to passed hors d'oeuvres. My favorites were the mini tacos - so fresh - with a margarita shot, the coconut shrimp, the penne vodka and the sushi! The venue where the reception was, was stunning! It was connected to the same room we had the cocktail hour, featuring a beautiful stone backdrop wall, a huge marble dance floor and gorgeous oval tables. The venue was stunning, the servers and wait staff were so incredibly friendly, hospital and accommodating and the food was delicious! Thank you Grandview for our friends and their amazing wedding party!

Not only did she…read morestreamline the bride's "to do" list by recommending musicians and florists, her excellent knowledge of wedding-day requirements helped ,  my Daughter in Law Amanda immensely, saving her lots of computer search time and false-starts.  Her help walking us through the rehearsal was vital, getting us organized the day of and "on our spots" at the right critical time. It's all such a whirlwind of activity. And the logistics at our farm were challenging, to say the least. I also greatly appreciated how, during the actual wedding and party afterward, Sandra and her assistant were there, in the background, keeping the caterer happy, moving tables, shuttling slightly inebriated guests to their cars, (thank you, especially for that. I think I would still find people walking the horse pasture fence, looking for their cars.) And for doing the behind-the-scenes things that rarely are noticed, unless they're not done. (For example, one of the porta potties malfunctioning). Sandra handled that with quiet speed. And mostly I appreciated how she took care of Amanda's mother's doilies, the family mementoes, tucking things away in the pool house for safe keeping. And for a good, general tidying up at the end of the night.

    We were married this past September at Timber Lake Camp and had the wedding (and weekend) of our…read moredreams thanks to Sandra O'Connell at Hudson Valley Ceremonies. If you don't get to the end of this review and only read one thing: Hiring Sandra was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is beyond dedicated to giving you the wedding of your dreams, and her ability to execute and make it ALL happen is nothing short of extraordinary. Every wedding needs a Sandra! We had the pleasure of working with Sandra from the beginning of our wedding planning journey all the way through our 3 day wedding weekend. When we were stumped looking for venues that could accommodate our large guest list AND a weekend-long celebration. Sandra approached us with a "think outside the box" venue: Timber Lake Camp, a beautifully serene summer camp nestled in the Catskills. We were unsure about the idea of a summer camp wedding but trusted her instinct - and thankfully we did. The day we visited the camp we knew it was PERFECT. 500 gorgeous acres with plenty of room to accommodate ALL of our guests, that we could have all to ourselves for an entire weekend - camp cabins, facilities, staff, and all! It truly felt like she had pulled a rabbit out of a hat and that was only the start of Sandra's magic! Throughout the entire year and a half long planning process, Sandra lent us her ear and expertise: she listened to our wishes, concerns, thoughts; guided us through a million different decisions; provided alternative options/ideas to meet our budget; and found the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life. She sat in on our calls with the coordinator at the camp, and even made visits to the camp with us - including one visit during a snowstorm! She also managed our multitude of vendors (including 3 separate caterers!) from the initial inquiries all the way through to the end of packing up after the wedding. When the wedding weekend came around, Sandra stayed on site all 3 days and made every event run smoothly - we felt like she was somehow everywhere all at once! We had multiple events, including our rehearsal, a Welcome BBQ, Karaoke Night, late night bonfire, and activities throughout the camp. If there were any hiccups, we didn't know about them! The day of the wedding, between everything she was coordinating and the multiple vendors on-site, she somehow still found time to check in with us to make sure we were okay. But honestly we truly felt at ease with Sandra running the show. Her professionalism, calmness, and get-it-done attitude made every part of the weeknd run seamlessly! And on top of it all, she made our marriage official by signing our marriage license. :) A total bonus that she is ordained and a special memory to share with her as she was such a big part of our special day! Our guests are still talking about how magical the weekend was. Many specifically commented that even with so many events and activities going on, it was one the most well-coordinated and organized weddings they'd attended. It was definitely a huge effort to pull off a 3 day wedding weekend on a 500 acre camp, but teamwork truly made this dream work! We could not be more grateful to Sandra, her team, and all of our amazing vendors for giving us a wedding better than we could have ever imagined! We can't recommend Sandra and HVC enough.

On the day of the wedding they set up everything beautifully and when the torrential rains came were prepared for it and kept everything dry. Their staff was outstanding through the whole evening. The food was outstanding. I had so many people e come up to me to compliment the food. I can' t say enough about them. We were lucky to have them. John Z

    Horrific. I should have known though based on the horrible communication between Dan and me. Every…read moretime I called he seemed distracted and certainly didn't take the time to even write any info we discussed down. I booked him well in advance and a week or less before our event he sounded like he had forgotten about us on the phone. He had no clue how many people, our address or the date of the event! It was less than a week before our event when I called him to be sure he had everything he needed from me and he sounded like he didn't remember me and when I actually asked if he did remember us he said "oh yeah sure". He was supposed to arrive at 3:00. An hour later, nothing. I called. He said he had been emailing me. Emailing me???? How about a damn phone call? He was emailing me the day of because he didn't know our address... again!!! The day of!!!! So now we're in panic mode. He said he'd be here in an hour and actually said, "don't worry,no one will notice"!!!! His workers show up (without him), an hour and a half plus late, we eat and hour and a half later than planned and it was horrible. The ribs were tough, not "fall off the bone", the potato and pasta salad tasted like vinegar, the corn looked wrinkled and microwaved (I chose not to have any but was told was horrible/chewy), our garden salad wasn't even on the table and even if it were, there was no salad dressing and... AND, half the food was missing!!! We ordered the day long barbecue and didn't even get any hot dogs, hamburgers or Italian sausage!!! So, so much for feeding the kids. What a shame!!! We did tip his employees very well. I gave this 1 star only because I had to in order to post this review.
