The Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY sits forty feet above the water’s edge, on the Eastern bank of the Hudson River, in the shadow of the Mid-Hudson Bridge. With magnificent views of the Hudson River, indoor and outdoor ballrooms, and panoramic vistas, it’s one of the most stunning settings in the historic Hudson Valley, day and night. One of the most important decisions any couple has is choosing the best time of day to hold their wedding. We previously discussed this topic in another post titled “When Will the Sun Go down?”
To assist with your decision, we’ve compiled photos of our favorite Grandview spots, at different times of the day. Be sure to use the slider to compare both photos.
