It takes a truly special couple to pull off a day this complicated without a planner! Mary and Sarabjeet filled the third of their three-day event at Tarrytown House Estate with so many beautiful touches : the outdoor ceremony in her gorgeous white wedding dress, some outdoor portraits, a sweet midday lunch where they got to hang out with their nearest and dearest, a few outfit changes, a gorgeous baraat led by a white horse, and a wild reception that went well into the early hours of the morning!

Tarrytown House Estate at 49 East Sunnyside Lane in Tarrytown, New York sits on 26 acres in the Hudson River Valley, 25 miles from Midtown Manhattan. Two 19th-century mansions — the King Mansion and the Biddle Mansion — more than 30,000 square feet of event space, and a setting that accommodates everything from intimate ceremonies to full multi-day South Asian wedding weekends. The Statue Garden overlooking the Hudson. The greenhouse-style Winter Palace. The Mary Duke Ballroom. Cellar 49 for after-parties in a former speakeasy. On-site accommodations across both mansions. I have photographed a three-day Indian wedding weekend here and the grounds are extraordinary.

Multi-Day and South Asian Weddings
Tarrytown House Estate is purpose-built for multi-day wedding weekends. The combination of on-site accommodations across two mansions, multiple distinct event spaces, and a dedicated event planning team makes it one of the strongest Hudson Valley options for Indian and South Asian weddings requiring Haldi, Baraat, Sangeet, and multi-day receptions. The grounds — the estate driveway, the Statue Garden, the mansion facades, the Hudson River views — provide extraordinary settings for Baraat processions and outdoor ceremony coverage.

The Statue Garden with the Hudson River in the background for ceremony coverage. The Winter Palace greenhouse interior. The Mary Duke Ballroom under the tall windows. The stone facade of the Biddle Mansion. The estate driveway lined with mature trees for Baraat coverage. The West Terrace with the Hudson Valley at golden hour. And the King Mansion roof deck — the view from up there is breathtaking and worth building into the portrait timeline.
