Hutton Brickyards is an enchanting wedding venue in Kingston, NY. Overlooking the Hudson river, this was originally a brick manufacturing site that supplied its material for a range of building projects throughout the city from 1865 to 1980. This history is showcased through remaining architectural structures, such as the kiln sheds and a Lidgerwood crane. Weddings and corporate retreats have been a bedrock of Hutton Brickyards through the last several years, offering a wide range of spaces and set-ups for show-stopping happenings.
Hutton Brickyards is a picturesque location, guaranteed to leave an impression on your guests long after the day is done. With both indoor and outdoor options depending on your specific requirements, you are spoilt for choice. The largest event space is the Butler Pavilion which can accommodate up to 4000 guests standing, 3500 in theater seating, and 1500 for banquet seating. On the other hand, Lidgerwood Pavilion can accommodate 1600 standing and 400 for banquet seating. The site also includes Hutton Hall, with a capacity of 350 standing, 150 seated, and 110 seated if a dance floor is to be set up. Hutton Brickyards is also home to 30 well-appointed guest cabins and a cottage for added comfort and convenience. You can get ready in one of the wedding suites that are on-site as well.
In September 2022 we opened our sister property, Edgewood Mansion. A stately hall built in 1873 for the prominent brick manufacturer John H. Cordts, Edgewood Mansion stands on a prominent stretch of Hudson River frontage at Hutton Brickyards. Its Second Empire-style exterior remains mostly unchanged. Yet, inside, Edgewood has a whole new look designed to celebrate both past and present. It features 12 guest rooms rendered in a palette of warm whites and French grays, while original 19th-century details complement contemporary touches.
The staff at this venue is committed to bringing to life the wedding of your dreams. They will focus on the finer aspects of your big day to create an unforgettable experience. The resident bartenders will also endeavour to make the celebration merrier. Choose from a range of drinks, including premium liquor, specialty beer and wine, house beverages, and more. Champagne toasts are also available to end the day on an elegant note.
Shelby Centore(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 This venue was by far the most unique venue we've ever been too... and we've attended over 30+ weddings. All of our guests were in awe of Hutton Brickyards and their staff. We used Butler Pavilion, Hutton Hall and Lidgerwood Pavilion -- each space offered a rustic vibe with the most peaceful setting overlooking the Hudson River. Our event coordinator from Hutton was Anne and she was very attentive and a joy to work with! She met with us several times to walk through the venue, answered all our questions and went beyond expectations to help us with vendors and deliveries. We ran into a few issues with our day-of-coordinator and the head bartender, Vicky came to the rescue! She checked on us several times before reception started, brought the entire wedding party drinks, made sure we were fed during cocktail, and handled our vendor tips! The only issue we experienced with Hutton was the transportation during photos... we had a photography schedule set up where we needed to be driven over to the ruins for our family photos at a certain time. We had to ask the security to please contact the drivers to come pick us up since they didn't show. When they came, they only had one cart so we had to do several trips to get everyone out to the ruins. Overall, compliments from our guest have been continuously pouring in. Since the venue only comes with the bar, it definitely creates a lot of work for the Bride & Groom. However, we were able to bring our vision to life and share it with all of our loved ones. We highly recommend Hutton Brickyards!!! Reviewed on 28-10-2022

Beautiful venue but overpriced with mediocre to poor service The great: Location / site - 5 stars. The venue is beautiful and has a fantastic mix of industrial/outdoors. We loved the history and the pavilions were perfect for both the reception and ceremony. There are plenty of restrooms (and we were grateful to have real toilets as opposed to fancy port-a-potties like we saw at some venues).The okay:We were able to accommodate about 55 guests at Hutton for the whole weekend. We wanted the adults-at-camp vibe and this delivered.I would only rate this as “okay” given the very high prices for what I thought were below average accommodations. Despite paying ~$60k for the use of the cabins for the weekend and well over $100k including the venue rental and bar bill, we did not get cleaning service and I think staff was generally slow and not very helpful.The bad:There were at least 3 changes to event staff management in the year between signing a contract and our wedding. New management staff came with new rules about what could or couldn’t happen - everything from the wine program and wine program cost to what we had access to at the venue to and how our vendors could set up (for example, when we booked we were told the caterer would have access to the commercial fridge but subsequently were told this was a mistake and had to rent a fridge along with other kitchen items). Beyond that, execution over the weekend was only okay. On the weekend of the wedding, rooms, including the cottage, which we stayed in, were ready hours late, and staff didn’t want us to unpack/leave luggage until the rooms were ready. The event coordinator was there to greet us when we arrived but we did not see her the rest of the weekend. Bar staff, which we were required to hire through Hutton, seemed unable to make basic cocktails…At the end of the day, the wedding was amazing and we had a wonderful time - but Hutton Brickyards and it’s staff were not the elements that made that possible.

Darshani Butala(other)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-07-2021 Beautiful venues beauty was ruined by very uncooperative management. Manager and staff are focused only to make money . We had even very hard time to visit the site on time and had to make so many adjustment during working days. Just before the wedding of my daughter we were very frustrated with new management but we did not have any other option so we had to accept it. We had contract signed for all the pavilion in Hutton and paid full amounts. We had decided one pavilion for wedding ceremony, b/o Covid we could not visit place for few months and when finally few months before we visited Hutton, we were shocked, there was a restaurant with public entrance..

Sebastian Dumont(partner)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-08-2019 Hutton Brickyards is a beautiful and peaceful gem of a space that is tucked away on the Hudson. As the event director/specialist for Rockland Roots, I can personally vouch for their incredible team who helped us carry out their first wedding this past August. They are an extremely professional and genuine group, who created a platform for our catering team to succeed in executing a flawless wedding for our couple and their guests. They supported us from the very start of the planning process leading up to the event itself and were an absolute pleasure to partner/work with! Reviewed on 06-03-2020
Alex Conway(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2019 Venue was perfect for our wedding. Everything turned out just as we have planned. All of our guests were impressed by the venue and not even the rain could take away from the night. The size and flexibility of the property allowed for it to be a special night for all. The venue provided the perfect back drop for all the photos of our closest friends and family. With the venue being new to the wedding scene it did take some pushing to get straight answers on details. Everything was eventually figured out and overall the venue was very accommodating.

Nicole Wagner(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-08-2019 I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Hutton Brickyards. I've been shooting weddings for 10 years and have seen all sorts of venues. Hutton Brickyards was quite impressive! Set so nicely on the river and many spaces that can be utilized, It's a great canvas for you to customize to fit your vision! The mixture of nature and industrial backdrops is very cool! There's also many covered areas so you don't have to compromise if the weather doesn't cooperate. The staff is friendly and on top of things. It was wonderful working there! Reviewed on 15-09-2019

knottiea3da1ef08695723f (bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2019 What a beautiful site. While they are just starting out, they are very helpful and trying very hard to make everything just perfect. The place is huge. Tucked away in a corner of Kingston, NY directly on the water. So, a little hard to find, but that makes it super special. The staff is very nice and accommodating of every need. If they didn’t have something, they were able to help us find it, or help our planner find a vendor who could deliver quickly. I would recommend working with a planner. Hard to find a place as special as this, but because they have just opened for business you need to have a good wedding planner who knows their stuff. Reviewed on 06-08-2018
