We are so so grateful to have found Estates by Brophy to host the wedding weekend of our DREAMS!! A beautiful, private property, in the fall, in upstate NY, with comfortable space for many of our guests to stay directly on the property, and many caring, dedicated staff to assist throughout the whole process was exactly what we wanted and more! Estates by Brophy gives you an incredible back-drop and an almost-blank slate to plan your completely customized wedding. Many traditional wedding venues book multiple weddings a weekend, maybe even multiple per day, and can come with strict rules on event timing, vendor options, quiet hours, etc. At Estates by Brophy, you can get complete privacy, away from other travelers and non-wedding guests, and bring in your own caterers, plan your own timing, and more! That being said, all brides and fellow wedding planners should be aware that the perks of customizability come with more work behind the scenes to plan all the details - so be ready for that if this is your venue pick! I promise it will be worth it! One of the best parts of our wedding weekend was taking advantage of the variety of spaces for each event. We rented out DeerRidge, Riverview, and a small additional property called the Red and White House, to house about 75 of our closest family and friends throughout the weekend. We had our 100-person Welcome Party at DeerRidge, making use of the indoor common areas and the large outdoor veranda. We rented heat lamps from the property so that some guests could mingle comfortably outdoors. Then we had our ceremony outside at the gorgeous ceremony site by the river (the rain held out for us), cocktail hour outside the Riverview Main House, and the reception at the Riverview Banquet Hall. The flow worked so well and the guests were amazed by the property, especially with views of all the Catskills fall foliage. It was such a privilege to have the whole property to ourselves. Now to talk about Debbie and Tony. This dream of a weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication, energy, and thoughtfulness of these two amazing humans. Debbie, our wedding coordinator, was so supportive and flexible on different ideas throughout the whole process. She has an eye for design and was able to make up the reception tables and lay out the room exactly as I had envisioned. Tony dedicated many hours of his time to the labor involved, such as arranging the ceremony benches as we wanted them, hanging string lights outside, and moving tables and chairs around the property as we needed them. Both Tony and Debbie were patient and flexible with my needs, as I will admit I was a picky bride, from the first day we met to the actual wedding day, wanting nothing more than for us to be happy. On the day of the wedding, they were there working on all the details before anyone was awake, and were the last ones to leave at the end of the night. Allison was also very helpful with the financials/billing/contract logistics along the way, and Walter was our trusty Kubota driver to help shuttle our guests to the ceremony site. We highly recommend Estates by Brophy to be your wedding venue!!

There are some things in life that are too perfect to put into words. But I am going to try. My wedding was yesterday 10.1.22 at this estate. 1. The site. For a fall wedding in the Catskills you CANNOT get better than here. The leaves were to die for, the estate blends perfectly in with the mountain’s majesty and the vast estate gives so much room to enjoy. Every building is thoughtfully put together and decorated and has SO much history behind it!! The bridal suite was of course my absolute favorite and I felt like a queen staying there. Having everything on site was such a dream. It is beyond gorgeous and so comfortable, welcoming and accommodating. We loved having room for so many loved ones at this venue. It is your own little paradise 2. The STAFF!!!! Holy moly. Debbie, Tony, The owner Gale, Walter and allison!!! The best of the best. Such a dynamic and well oiled team! I felt taken care of like no other. I felt so loved and so accommodated. They make all your dreams come true and are ready to do whatever it takes to give you a wonderful experience. And a bonus shout out goes to their cleaning staff who I am not sure if it is separate staff or ones I have already met but I just want to say we arrived into an IMMACULATE space. It smelled so clean in the banquet hall it was like you could lick the floor haha! It was so well kept and manicured! 3. The amenities! An indoor giant hot tub??? A suana?? So private in the main bridal house, so luxurious and so gorgeous. The functional amenities of this venue are beyond awesome. From pool tables to onsite hiking, to games and more, they really have everything you need! Please book here, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend any season wedding here, but fall is in my opinion as good as it gets. Almost no where else in the world will you see trees change with the same intensity we just did. It just heightened the experience ten fold to witness such a marvel of nature among the pure luxury, comfort and beauty that is Brophy estates!

The RiverView Estate was a BEAUTIFUL and unique venue for our wedding. The ceremony space by the river is serene and breathtaking, the White Birch Banquet Hall is rustic and chic, and the estate itself is private with everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. There is a lot to be said for the convenience of staying on the same property as your venue, especially given that this venue requires a lot of DIY effort. I was a type A bride who liked the idea of planning every detail to make our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be, but I was definitely burned out by all the work that needed to be done to make sure our weekend went smoothly. For example, while we loved being able to choose our own vendors, we did not anticipate having to find a vendor to supply ice for the weekend. While the estate offers the option of renting dishware for the reception, there’s a lack of capacity to wash dishes in the small rear kitchen, so we ended up having to bring disposables for everything. We were also expecting our tables, linens, and chairs to be set up in the reception hall and cocktail area when we arrived, but we ended up having to set them up ourselves. We made everything exactly what we wanted, but for the price of using the reception hall we did not anticipate having to put in so much work upon arrival. We were fortunate to have lots of family and friends willing to help.We also rented the adjacent DeerRidge Estate to accommodate more of our guests, which was extremely convenient and beautiful in its own right. We used the DeerRidge for our post-rehearsal dinner welcome party the night before the wedding, and everyone had a blast! Our remaining guests were accommodated in hotels and AirBnbs in Hancock (where we also got our marriage license), which is the closest town about 10-15 minutes away. Had we not rented both estates, I’m not sure that the hotels in town would have been able to accommodate our wedding of 120, given that there was another wedding happening in town that day, too. Hancock is very small, so guests shouldn’t expect to find an overabundance of food, drink, or grocery options (though a few good options do exist).The estate's offsite coordinator was pleasant to work with during the planning phase; however, communication was a bit unclear and challenging at times. The staff onsite at the venue is fantastic. They’re friendly and welcoming and always ready and willing to help bring your wedding dreams to life. They went above and beyond to make the ceremony space accommodating to our guests and our vision, in addition to making sure our guests were comfortable throughout their stay on the property. They helped set up our reception space the day of and delighted the crowd with their bartending skills and loveable personalities. Our interactions with the owner of the estate were always lovely. You can tell she really enjoys hosting weddings on the property and wants couples to enjoy their stay. All that said, I was happy to have a friend who I knew and trusted helping with the coordination and execution of our vision the day of the wedding.Overall, I would say that this venue isn’t for the couple who wants the convenience of choosing a traditional, all-inclusive wedding venue package and paying others to handle all the details. But if you’re like us and want something non-traditional – essentially a blank canvas to create the day of your dreams from scratch in an incredibly beautiful setting – this is it!

There are no words to describe how delighted we are that we chose RiverView Estate By Brophy as the venue for our daughters wedding! After searching for months we found what I can only describe as a hidden gem! The grounds are breathtaking and our guests raved about the spaciousness and cleanliness of each of the homes. Gail Brophy's attention to detail is unsurpassed and Walter the grounds keeper went above and beyond helping to make everything go smoothly on the BIG day! If you are looking for a wedding that is truly unique The Brophy Wedding Experience is the way to go!

I am literally in tears right now as I start to even think about writing a review for this place! This is the most AMAZINGLY gorgeous hands down BEST estate/hotel/wedding venue in the world. I cannot say enough about how amazing our time here was. But I’m gonna try because I have read so many reviews for wedding venues and let me tell you the Truth (as every bride wants to know) about Brophy Estates.. when we first viewed the estate we met Debbie the sweetest nicest person we ever had give us a tour of anything lol (we saw Atleast 20venues) she took us to room after room and when u thought it was over hold on.. cuz it only gets better! There was so much room so much space for family, so many unique little trinkets or pictures everywhere you felt like you were at home. We saw what was being turned into a reception hall and it was empty at the time. Gale came by to meet us and we were sold right then and there she is the sweetest person but beyond that she told us what this hall would be with beautiful birch wood trees and lanterns from the ceiling... When we finally booked the venue Kristen was helpful answering questions for us. (Do you have a keruig for my mom?! Lol ) We were nervous when we got there about how it would look but gale did NOT disappoint.. it is truly amazing romantic and so perfect. The day before my wedding I was bridezilla running around with my DIY lanterns that I decided I didn’t like last minute.. to my surprise gale called me to wish me the best and heard in my voice I was not happy about my centerpieces she came by in 10 mins.. changed out my centerpieces for me and made me the happiest bride ever! I was in such awe at how perfect this staff is.. I called Debbie cuz the tv was not working the first morning (cuz of rain damn direct tv) but she and tony came by and immediately attended to every need and question we had! The only complaint we have is that we didn’t know how awesome the staff was before hand I woulda been a less nervous bride! Ladies this is the place to get married! It’s amazing 100% I wish I could say more but it’s cutting me off! Lol amazing pictures, amazing staff!
