10 Local Area Attractions

Many wedding couples have family and friends that travel to the Hudson Valley to attend our wedding venues. Residents and visitors alike enjoy four unique seasons of entertaining events, historic landmarks, regional shopping centers, and a taste for culinary delights ranging from barbeque, to seafood, and everything in between. Is your adventurous side calling? Free fall at Skydive the Ranch, and afterwards, reward yourself with a locally brewed cold one. Better yet, sing and dance the night away at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, or take yourself to the ballgame by traveling to Wappingers Falls to cheer on the Hudson Valley Renegades. With convenient access via plane (Stewart International Airport), train (NJ Transit and Metro North), and automobile (Major highways such Taconic State Parkway, NYS Thruway and Interstate 84), what better destination [...]

EID Photography Kristina & Tom – October 10, 2015 Venue: West Hills Country Club Photographer: EID Photography "You'll be my glass of wine, I'll be your shot of whisky" I met Kristina in 1989 - yes, you heard me, 1989. I was 3 months old, Kristina was 16 months old. Her mom Lynne, was my babysitter. Kristina was and is the big sister I never had, and her brother Frankie, the big brother my younger sister and I never had. We rode our bikes, went to the park, played hop-scotch in the driveway, went trick-or-treating, and my most vivid memory, eating shaped macaroni and cheese, cheese doodles and Dunkaroos while watching Rugrats (My mom never let my sister and I eat shaped macaroni and cheese. She always just bought the boring regular [...]

My Top Ten Wedding Tips

“A wedding is a party, not a performance. If at the end of the day you are married to the one you love, then everything went perfectly.” Give Yourself Time The average couple begins planning their wedding 12-16 months out. Giving yourself extra time really helps to keep stress levels down. It gives you the ability to get tons of stuff done early and time to save for the things that you may really want. You only get to plan your wedding once, so enjoy it! Be Present On your wedding day, soak up all the love, joy and bliss! I often tell my couples to take a step back, look in the mirror and reflect. With all the chaos that goes into planning your most special day, its easy to lose sight of [...]

Hana & Bobby – May 29, 2015 Venue: West Hills Country Club Photographer: Kevin Ferguson Photography "Your love is like the best cup of coffee...Comforting to my spirit, Soothing to my soul, Stimulating to my heart, While warming me all over." I met Hana and Bobby back in June of 2014, and I'd be lying if I said fate didn't bring them here. They had looked around at a couple other venues, but just couldn't find that unique, non-catering hall venue that they were looking for. Around this time, my boyfriend and I began searching for a place to move in together, and after countless internet searches, we just couldn't find anything that met our needs. Well, after giving the happy couple a tour of our beautiful grounds, I started to gather additional contact [...]

Marissa & Pat - June 14, 2015 Venue: West Hills Country Club Photographer: Owl's Eye Studios "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Lucky for me, I help many couples plan their special day - but this one was extra special. Marissa and I went to High School together (Yay Monroe-Woodbury, Class of 2007!). Though we didn't really know each other then, or hang in the same circles, it wasn't long after meeting with Marissa when searching for a wedding venue in September of 2014, that a friendship began to form. Getting to be a part of a friends' wedding day is the best feeling in the world. Thank you Marissa and Pat [...]

There is more to WHCC than what meets the eye…

I think it's pretty safe to say that you won’t find a more dramatic backdrop to host your special day. With over 200 acres of natural beauty, the stunning views of the golf course nestled alongside the Wallkill River is sure to turn some heads. I mean, how can you resist our historic red bridge? But why limit yourself to what's on property? Take a field trip to some of the local tourist attractions to really give your photography portfolio some diversity. Take a look at some of these photos shot by Allan E. Levine Photography and Erin Lane Photography from one of the local Apple Orchards and Historic Downtown Middletown. Believe it or not, both are only 5-10 minutes away from West Hills Country Club! Will you be taking a field trip for [...]

#MCM – Lookin Sharp Fellas!

As you know, here at West Hills Country Club, we love to do everything we can to help out the bride on her big day. But today, it's all about the groom. It's easy to get lost in all the glitz and the glam of the dress and the flowers, causing us to lose sight that it’s just as much his day as it is hers. After all, a wedding is about two people joining together as a couple. So today, it's all about him. Vests, suits and tux's oh my! With so many new trends out there, just like anything else, it's important to find the style that will suit (no pun intended) the theme of the wedding as well as his style. What are the options you ask? Well to narrow it down, we [...]

Will you be going ‘Nude’ on your Wedding Day?

Now, now...we are talking about your makeup! Nude palates and blush tones have certainly been a recent wedding trend, for both décor and fashion style, and it seems to continue to hold true. Gentle hues and soft shades allow accents in other places to really pop! Take a look at this beautiful bride rocking the nude palate. Look how her blue eyes stand out - stunning! But let me guess...you've watched the tutorials and tried to mimic the diagrams, but end up looking like you were in a cat fight. Been there, done that. Well, try this. Allure magazine said it best, "Stick to hues in the same family as your skin tone—apply a soft nude to the entire lid and enhance the crease with a medium brown. Make sure to highlight the inner [...]

Naked Cakes…?

A wedding cake design that bares all- introducing the naked cake! Now before you go jumping to conclusions, let me explain what I mean by this. A traditional wedding cake has frosting on the outside, but the naked wedding cake uses frosting in a different way. The frosting is typically placed in between the layers, leaving the outside of the cake completely exposed. This gives the cake an entirely new and unique look. Even though there is no icing to give the cake that "pretty" factor, the naked cake does not disappoint. These unfrosted beauties come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. Multiple flavors give certain looks and textures which makes each cake different. Fresh fruits and flowers, edible garnishes, powdered sugar, rosemary, caramel- anything you like!- can be used to give the cake a [...]

5 Things You Won’t Want To Forget At Your Summer Wedding

As crazy as this sounds, this winter weather today has me thinking about the summer in the Hudson Valley. So I've put together 5 items/things that you will want to make sure you have at your West Hills wedding. Your sunscreen! You worked so hard all season long on NOT having tan lines, so stick to it on your wedding day. Especially if you have really fair skin. So lather up with a non-greasy sunscreen and stay in the shade as much as possible when taking your photos. Trust me, your pictures (and skin) will thank you. Fans at the ceremony. Place a small, handheld fan on each guest’s chair so they can stay cool during the ceremony. Better yet, have them double as a ceremony program! A backup boutonniere for the [...]
