Keepsake/WEDDING VENUE — Attraction in City of Poughkeepsie

My wife and were planning our own wedding, went to a bunch of wedding shows, and toured 6 venues before deciding where we wanted to have the most important event of our lives together. We were looking for a place that had a lot of character, felt modern but not gimmicky, and had a professional and helpful staff but allowed us to bring in some of our own elements and we found that in Revel 32.

Since the venue was newer and we didn’t have a lot of information we went to take a tour and met with the owner. He showed us a round and gave us detailed answers to all our questions. We were sold immediately.

The building has this authentic charm with a lot of exposed brick, wood floors, tall windows , and so many impressive staircases. Revel has a bar on every floor that makes each space feel unique but connected and the flow of the building is amazing.

We had our ceremony in one of the halls that the staff was easily able to convert into our Cocktail Hour seamlessly. The whole space boasted elegance with a modern, sleek feel.

Our reception took place in the main hall which has a huge stage and a balcony lounge over looking the dance floor. The bridal party, my wife, and I did our grand entrance from the balcony and entered down the stairs to the dance floor while the DJ played from their set up on the stage. It was an extremely impressive and versatile space.

Revel also has a bridal suite that the ladies used for getting ready which was larger and nicer than any of the other venues we visited which we were surprised and overjoyed by.

The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. They let us tour the place multiple times on our own and with each of our vendors. They allowed us to customize where we wanted each part of our day to be held and worked with us to make sure each space was perfect. On the day, they took care of everything. They juggled all the vendors, the bridal party, set up, transitions, and take downs all while keeping us on schedule.

Revel 32 was the perfect choice for our wedding and I’m so glad we got in when we did because this place is going to jump to forefront of...

If I could give them negative stars, I would!

Friends of mine were assured by the manager that everything would be fine and they would get 85% to 100% full refund since it was over 6 months of a a notice. After about two months. The communication stopped and went to the next person in line, her name is Heather.

She avoided phone calls, sent sporadic texts. They were told that they were going too be busy due to the holiday season and she could send a check for 30% by the end of the year. They. pressed her on if it was 30% upfront and then the remaining after the New Year and she said No that’s all the investors are willing to do.

Have seen multiple complaints from other couples on how they destroyed their wedding planning and have scum-bagged countless others. Everyone has been skeptical after booking because they continuously shut down throughout the year to make “renovations” but the real reason was because they had no money to stay open. They couldn’t keep their food hall services open, they couldn’t keep their employees employed. They have massive turnover. Now they have a ghetto burger shop as a vendor who lets anyone in off the streets of Poughkeepsie. The communication throughout the process was inept, vendors that have contracts say they have concerns about working there and have had issues in the past. other couples have backed out because of lack of communication and uncertainty of the Academy (Keepsake) staying in...

We had our wedding at Keepsake a few weeks ago and it was absolutely incredible!!!

Dana was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We loved doing our tasting there with our parents. We stopped by to tour the space multiple times since we planned most of it ourselves - and Dana was always there to answer questions and give great advice.

It is such a cool venue. We had a lot of unique ideas and different decorations for our ‘nerdy’ wedding haha. When we toured other venues they felt too dressy and fancy for our style. Keepsake is just rustic and unique enough - but still super classy - and the prices were WAY more reasonable than the other venues we toured.

And of course - the big day!!! The event ran sooo smoothly. Dana worked wonders with our day-of coordinator and vendors to get everything timed perfectly for ample dancing time!!! I had such a blast and there was literally zero stress on my part as the bride! Amazing! The music sounded great in the space despite the tall ceilings - it’s soundproofed well! The food was fantastic - you gotta get the crispy duck!! And the bar was on point. Thank you to all Keepsake staff for the work you did to create the wedding day of...
