History

The conception of The Grandview budded from years of planning and the desire to grace the area with a venue of dreams, built for the most special occasions, with breathtaking views, impeccable service, and the utmost attention to detail.

In 2006, the years of development came to light, and forty feet above the water’s edge, on the Eastern bank of the Hudson River, in the shadow of the Mid-Hudson Bridge, the Bonura Hospitality Group officially opened the doors of The Grandview.

Since then, they have been dedicated to offering every single guest experience of luxury. They are determined to take care of every host couple and their guests, event by event, one function at a time. Whether it is a romantic wedding or engagement, or other wedding-related events, their goal is the same—to exceed the expectations of every guest they serve.

The capable and experienced staff at The Grandview manages every detail with a full suite of services – from event organizing to catering. So your event is a breeze and pleasure, from the moment your planning begins until the last guest says good night after your grand wedding exit. They also cooperate with our New York City wedding photographers to make sure you have all the precious moments captured in flawless frames from first look photos to wedding exit shots including all the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments happening on your wedding day for your New York wedding albums.

Whether you’re organizing an engagement party, tying the knot, or hosting a day-after wedding brunch, The Grandview has got your back.
