Hi Valacitie,

Diane and I wanted to take the time to thank YOU and your staff for making my 50th birthday party such a success! I've had many rave reviews from my friends and family especially on the selection of the location, the setup, the food and especially the staff. We all had a BLAST and I enjoyed myself very much (see attachments). The food was delicious and the presentation was gorgeous. Thank you again for everything it was definitely a pleasure to meet you and your family and I'm sure we will see each other again in the future.

Take care and have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Regards,

Regina Palmer

Dear Valicitie,

Thank you for helping us put on a great wedding ceremony and reception. It is clear that you and every member of your professional staff know how to make an event run smoothly while the guests thoroughly enjoy the food, drink and dancing. I’ll mention just a few of the many ways you made this a great event. You brought in the bride and the grooms favorite beer and wine we requested. There was never a wait to get a drink at the bar, we were asked by your staff if we enjoyed the delicious food after each course, every guest was treated as if they were a member of the brides family.

You corrected several glitches so quickly and professionally that none of the guests knew anything was amiss. A substitute officient was procured, the brides dress was repaired. We and our guests were able to relax and enjoy the party because of your beyond exceptional service.

Again, many thanks for making a special day exceptional.

Best regards,

Kathy and Joe Manez

Dear Valicite,

Gary and I would like to thank you for the wonderful birthday party at the Seaport. The planning, the way you arranged the room, the decorations, were done to perfection. Many of the guests have told me how much they enjoyed your hospitality and graciousness. And the food could not have been more delicious.

Thanks for everything, and please send our thanks to Angelo for all his help.

Best,

Dear Angelo and Valicitie,

Thank you so much for making our wedding day dream come true on June 26, 2010 (with only two moths planning). Your location is incredible, food exquisite, staff extraordinary. You also recommended the most perfect vendors (Christopher Studios and Action Entertainment). There was no other alternative for the day other than PERFECT!

A million thanks,
John and Renee


 

Dear Angelo and Valicitie,

We don’t even know how to begin to thank you. Ralphie and Johanna’s wedding was the best! You were extremely gracious, from our first meeting until the end of the wedding. You could have not done more for us then you did. From the ceremony throughout the reception, everything ran smoothly. The food was unbelievable! Friends have been calling and saying it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding, from the cocktail hour through the fondue.

From day one we felt like family, not just another customer. That relationship was very important to us.

Feel free to give our name as a reference as we can highly recommend the Nyack Seaport for any function.

We love you guys!

Sincerely,

Donna and Ralph Miele

Dear Valicitie, Family and Staff,

Thank you for making our wedding day perfect. There is nothing we would change. Valicitie, thank you for being supportive every step of the way. Thank you for answering all my questions. Thank you for your patience with our parents. Thank you for the beautiful venue and excellent food. Thank you for making each guest feel special. We look forward to coming back to eat at your restaurant.

Love,

Dear Angelo,

Working with you at your other location for Casey’s Bat Mitzvah was a stroke of luck, but choosing Nyack Seaport for Jake’s was a no brainer. We did not so much as look at another venue because there was no way I was going to work with anyone else. Once you experience the best, there is nowhere else to go. Not only are you the easiest, most professional person we have ever interacted with (not to mention the nicest) everyone in your employ is reflective of you.
In addition to your great and most accommodating staff, the food was delicious. Everyone could not stop raving (especially all the Canadian cousins). So Angelo, though we are done with Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, we hope there is an event in the future we can plan with you.

From,
Janet and Michael

Thank you for everything


 

Dear Angelo, Valicitie and the entire staff at the Nyack Seaport,

Thank you for helping to make our wedding on May 24, 2009 the most wonderful day we could have even imagined. Angelo, thank you for easing the transition from our first venue to the Seaport. We’re so glad that is where we chose to have our reception. Valicitie, we can’t thank you enough for the care you took in making sure that everything would be perfect. We loved how you decorated for our beach theme. Our guests were so impressed with the food and the service at our reception. We, along with our guests had a magnificent time and we owe much of that to you. Thank you so much for everything.

From,
Tim and Kerri Kunz


 

Dear Angelo, Valicitie, Frank, Audrey, and Staff,

We would like to thank you for everything you have done to make our wedding day perfect. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were flawless. Everyone loved the beautiful facility, spectacular views, friendly staff and of course, phenomenal food. We will recommend you to everyone you know! We wish we could do it all over again!

Once again, thank you for everything.

Love,

Just a note of thanks for and unbelievable reception! The night couldn’t have been more perfect; and guests are still raving about the food. Thank you for going the extra mile with the Duke Grooms cake for John, he was so surprised when you presented it to him which was exactly what I wanted. Also, please thank Audrey and the rest of your staff, they were efficient, professional and took excellent care of us.

Thanks again,

Dear Valicitie, Angelo and Staff,

It’s hard to believe that the wedding was already five months ago. It still feels like it just happened.
We just want to say Thank You for making our day so special. It truly was how I always imagined it would be—Maybe even better.
We are still getting rave reviews from our guests on how amazing the night was. Thanks to you and your wonderful staff, our wedding was a dream come true and we have the memories to look back and cherish for the lifetime ahead of us. We honestly can’t thank you enough for everything you did.

Hope you enjoy these pictures and please let me know if you would like anymore—they are display of how wonderful you are.

Love,

Dear Valicitie and Angelo,

 

I just wanted to send you a letter to express how happy I was with my son’s Bar Mitzvah Party that we had at The Nyack Seaport on Saturday, October 10, 2009.   From the first time Gary and I visited the facility we were treated like family.  Angelo walked us around and made us feel right at home. We were immediately impressed by how beautifully maintained it is and all that is included in your party packages.

 

After booking the event, I was lucky enough to meet Valicitie.  Without your help, I would never have been able to pull off this party!  You gave me your recommendations for the DJ and Balloons.  We ended up hiring both and they did amazing jobs!   You were the calming voice behind my craziness and made sure that everything was taken care of perfectly.  I really want to thank you for making me feel at ease and putting up with my phone calls and visits.  You helped Max and I pick the perfect menu and colors for the party.  You are truly a professional and great at what you do!

 

The day of the event the staff was impeccable, the food was delicious, and a good time was had by all.  The party truly went above and beyond anything Gary and I had ever hoped for. Everything looked perfect and ran smoothly.  The staff never missed a beat and knowing that you were there in the background running the show let me really relax and enjoy the party. 

 

Once again I would like to thank you, Angelo and the rest of the staff at The Nyack Seaport for taking such good care of my family and making sure we had the most wonderful day and party for my son.  I will recommend The Nyack Seaport to anyone I know who is planning a special event.

 

Warmest regards,

Ena Kaplan

Dear Valicitie, Angelo, Frank, Audry & the Nyack Seaport Staff:

 

Andrea and I want to thank you for all that you did to make our wedding on June 6th so special.  We are still hearing from our family and friends about how awesome our wedding was and that it was the best wedding they've ever attended!  From the wonderful staff to the magnificent food (people are still raving about the cocktail hour!) to the outstanding beauty of the Nyack Seaport itself -- it was beyond our greatest expectations and truly an event to remember!


Valicitie -- thank you for all of your help with planning our wedding!  It was a joy to work with you!


Also, we'd like to especially thank Frank and Audry for all that you did to make our day run so smoothly.  Your kindness, your care and your attentiveness helped us to enjoy every, single moment of our special day and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Dear Valicitie,

 

Being the second child in the family, and a VERY good kid, I was never the center of attention in a bad way or even a good way. I have never felt so ... taken care of, felt so .... special, treated so... amazingly ever in my life! I wish I could re-live the entire evening all over again! I could not be any happier with every single detail, step, moment. You were so on point on saturday, and I know its your job, but you made me feel like you were honored to do it, and that makes me feel really great. Audry too was sooooo incredible, I'm at a loss for words.  The command that you two hold send chills up my spine :). Thank you for making my wedding day the most memorable moment of my life thus far.  I can't wait until i can go to a wedding there so I can enjoy it all over again! Sarah Parone and Heather Colletti were both right when they said that you put on a great evening!

All my love and adoration for making it so thrilling!

Melanie

PS... and the tiramisu was to DIE for!

 


 

Dear Valicitie,

 

Heath and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you and the staff of the Nyack Seaport did for our wedding.  It was a truly beautiful, perfect, and wonderful evening.  Honestly, the wedding of our dreams.  I cannot tell you how many of our family and friends loved everything about the event from the wonderful staff to the delicious food (everyone is still talking about the food) to just the overall beauty of the Seaport.  It really made our wedding an event to remember.  Many people have told us that it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended and we truly believe it's because how wonderful the Seaport is and how much time, care and effort all of you put to each event.  So from everyone who attended the event, thank you thank you thank you.   Everyone should have their wedding at the Nyack Seaport!!! 

Best regards,
Celena and Heath Goss

 


 

Dear Nyack Seaport Staff,

 

What a fantastic place The Nyack Seaport is!! Chrissy and I were married in July 2008, and people are still reminding us of how great our wedding was. The food and decor were phenomenal and the service was even better... If that's even possible!! The day started with one bridesmaid getting stung by a bee while we were pulling up to the venue. Even from the moment we unloaded from the limo, Valicitie and Michel were out in front to greet and help us in our moments of need. Once my wife was finally bustled and we were on our way down to the cocktail hour, I managed to step on her dress and ruin all of my sister-in-law's hard work. This led to Valicitie and Michele saving the day! They showed their Wedding savvy by fixing the dress with a few safety pins and some real know-how. As the night went on, our guests enjoyed and were very happy with the ice sculpture/martini bar (which is still raved about to this day)! The food was MAGNIFICENT, including the cake, which ended up all over my face! We are very grateful for all that was done for us and look forward to enjoying the great food at Two Spear Street for years to come! Thank you to everyone who made our wedding day all that we had hoped for and more!

 

Cheers! Rob & Chrissy

 


 

Dear Valicitie and Nyack Seaport Staff,

 

Our wedding on July 5th was even more fun and beautiful than we had imagined. You guys did such a phenomenal job from the big things to the little things like having the cutlery tied in a cranberry ribbon to match my bridesmaids dresses! Our guests also commented on how gorgeous the place is and how great you were. Valicitie, a big thank you for all of your help and patience and answering all of my questions. We couldn't be happier with how our big day turned out--It was truly a beautiful day.

 

Thank you,

Michele and Staff,

I just wanted to write you, now that the hub-bub has basically died down, to thank you for helping us have such a beautiful wedding. Oddly I can't seem to remember all the actual details but every single guest that we've spoken to has told us how great the food was, how beautful the room looked, and what a great time they all had. Even people who weren't there have told me that some of our guests have told them how nice everything was. Again, thanks so much for your help in making "the second time around" better than the first!!!

 

Adeline and Robert

 


 

 

Dear Angelo, Valicitie, Brittanie, Michele, and Suzanne,

 

Where do we begin to thank you for the beautiful day we had? You made every aspect of the planning and the wedding itself a breeze- even to a self-acknowledged neurotic bride. Thank you for patiently taking the time to answer all of my questions and making sure everything was perfect. The room looked beautiful and the food was all absolutely delicious- our guests all loved it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

 

Sarah & Adam

 


 

Dear Brittanie,

 

Arthur and I wanted to thank you and your wonderful staff for making our experience with you a most memorable one. We heard raves from our family and friends about how wonderful the food was, and how professional your staff was. They all loved the beautiful environment you put together, as did we.

 

Thank you for making our life so much easier. You've opened up a new reality for us, and Arthur and I look forward to working with you again in the future. We'll be most delighted to recommend you to anyone we can.

 

With warmest regards,

Connie and Arthur

 


 

Dear Angelo:

 

We wanted to thank you and your staff for the wonderful service you provided us for Kimberly's Bat Mitzvah celebration. The food was wonderful, the room was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. We truly felt like guests at our own party, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the occassion. Your attention to detail was impeccable, and we felt pampered and relaxed throughout the entire evening.

 

It was a pleasure working with you and your staff, and we certainly would recommend your facility to all of our friends and colleagues. Please thank Frank, the Maitre' D for us as he was particularly helpful, cordial, and professional.

We look forward to seeing you again on other happy occassions, and send our sincerest thanks and appreciation.

 

Most Sincerely,

Nancy and Charles

 


 

Dear Valicitie:

On behalf of my mother and my family, I want to thank you and your staff for all of that you did to make my mother's 60th birthday party a resounding success. People are still talking about the party and how beautiful it was. I don't know if you saw my mother when she arrived but she was clearly overwhelmed with the decor. All of the guests told me that the decor was beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I know for myself, the party was much more elegant than I ever imagined it would be and I cannot express to you enough how impressed I was with the decor, food and service at an event I had been planning for well over (2) years.

 

Although, it was stange and difficult for me to turn things over to you and your staff, it was a relief and I thank you for "giving me permission" to do so. I also want to thank you for your prayers for my family during the challenges we were facing leading up to the party. What a wonderful way to end the summer and celebrate our growth as a family. My only regret is that I didn't make arrangements to have the party go on longer.

 

Also, thank you for the certificate for dinner for (2) at Two Spear Street. My sister, Selena and I plan to use it tomorrow. I hope to have other events at the Nyack Seaport in the furture and I look forward to another very positive working relationship. I will not hesitate to recommend you and your staff to others. In fact, one of my co-workers is getting married at the Seaport in June 2009, I have assured her that you and your staff will take care of every detail so that she can focus on enjoying her wedding day. Thanks again!

 

Sincerely, Venita

 


 

Dear Angelo:

 

Many thanks for the wonderful deluxe cold display which you provided for the Open House on Sept 21 to celebrate the new site for One to One Learning. We would also like to thank Valicitie for her assistance in arranging for the donation and seeing to it that it arrived on time. Our guests were very impressed with the variety of fruit, vegetables and cheese provided. Everything was delicious and the arrangement was pleasing to the eye.

 

Sincerely,
Sr. Cecilia

Dear Valicitie, Michele, and Brittanie,

 

Thank you for making our wedding better than we could have imagined. People are still telling us how great the food and service was! It was such a pleasure working with you and you made the day completely unstressful (especially for my Mom!) Your hardwork was truly appreciated.

Dear Valicitie and Staff,

 

Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect! We could not ask for a better staff, venue, staff and menu.  Our guests were so impressed with the food and the service.  We especially appreciated the special attention you gave to us and our VIP guests—our parents!  We want you to know that your professionalism did not go unnoticed.  We also thought you should know that many guests to us that ours was the best cocktail hour they have ever experienced. WOW!!  Thanks again for an amazing day that we will remember forever!

 

Love,
Rachel and Nick Damiani



Dear Valicitie,

 

I must take a moment to tell you what a marvelous party you and your staff created for our daughter Samantha's Bat Mitzvah yesterday. My guests have been calling all day, saying how delicious the food was, how polite and efficient your staff was, and what a charming location the Nyack Seaport is. I was told that the meat was some of the best that my guests ever had (and these are fussy New Yorkers!), the mashed potatoes were to die for, and your pastry chief made a scrumptious Mitzvah cake. We will be forever grateful for your professionalism and unyielding commitment to making our celebration a true Mitzvah.

 

With much appreciation and fondness,
Holly Goldin



Dear Valicitie,

 

Thank you so much for everything you and your staff did to make our wedding perfect.  From helping us make decisions before the wedding to make sure that everything went smoothly on the actual day, you were so patient and wonderful.  Thank you for all your hard work.  The food was amazing and everyone was great.  Our wedding was perfect thanks to you.

Hi Valicitie,

I want to thank you and your staff for making our surprise 25th anniversary a memorable event. The food was excellent and so was the ambiance.

Dear Nyack Villager,

 

My husband and I make an effort to spend money in our local community whenever possible. For this reason, as we
began planning our wedding, it was important to celebrate our event locally.

 

Having seen a few venues, we met with Valicitie Rubino, the General Manager of the Nyack Seaport. We had eaten at Lena's and loved the fabulous food and beautiful location. However, it was Valicitie's warm, friendly and accommodating style that became the deciding factor in booking our wedding with The Nyack Seaport. We aslo selected Jorge Madrigal
of Madrigal Studios for our wedding photography. His work is beautiful and we appreciate his passion for photography.

 

During our engagement, circumstances beyond our control transpired, causing us to change our initial wedding plans.
The grace and compassion with which Valicitie Rubino and Jorge Madrigal accommodated our needs was simply amazing. We are forever grateful and believe everyone in our community should know of the gems we have right here in Nyack.

 

Amy and John Ferris,
South Nyack




Dear Valicitie,

 

Thank you so much for your warmth, compassion and accommodating style. You enabled us to have a beautiful wedding day. All of our guests thought the room was beautiful, the food was impeccable and most importantly, your staff was wonderful.

 

We have written a letter to the Nyack Villager to let everyone know how incredible you and your facility are.
We think it is important that those in our community know! We really cannot thank you enough.

Of course, we would be thrilled to serve as references to anyone who might be considering using your facility!

 

Warmest regards,
Amy and John Ferris

 



Dear Angelo and everyone at The Nyack Seaport,

 

This is just to thank you for the lovely evening you supplied for Julia's Bat Mitzvah. Everyone complimented the food and the atmosphere, and the general professionalism of the staff. We were particulary happy with how well you maneuvered the difficult room changes and how you even added candlelight to our Havdalah ceremony. It was all so lovely and memorable.

 

Thanks again. You can be sure we will recommend the Seaport to others.

Tobie, Jim and Julia Reisler

 



Dear Nyack Seaport,

 

You helped make the fundraising event we had June 1st better than we ever could have dreamed!
I heard nothing but raves and praise for the service and food that you provided that evening.

Thank you so much for all your attentiveness and help that you gave us during the preparation for this event.
I would not have changed a thing.

Planning on having a repeat performance for next year!

 

Yours truly,

Dear Mr. Rubino,

 

We want to extend our sincere thank you for your help in making the Academy of Music Fundraiser a great success.

Each time we called and asked a question or had something to add, the response from your staff was always courteous, helpful and professional. The amazing part was how you could transform a room in one hour to look so beautiful.
Our compliments extend to your wait staff and bartender as well. The cocktail hour was superb and the dinner delicious.

Your efforts on our behalf will help to bring wonderful, inspiring classical music to our community this summer.

 

Sincerely,

Dear Valicitie,

Dear Angelo and Valicitie,

 

Thank you both so much for hosting the wonderful and plentiful tasting on Thursday night.
Deciding on the Nyack Seaport was the smartest thing we did- not only because of the location but because of you both. Your dedication and spirit are evident in all that you do. We are so thrilled to be working with you.

 

Warmest regards,
Rona, Randy, Allison and Jack

 


Dear Nyack Seaport,

 

My out-of-town guests have left to return to their homes, my daughter, Marisa and her new husband have returned to Slovenia and the dust is beginning to settle. Now I am finally getting around to thanking you for making our daughter's wedding so incredibly wonderful.

 

Marisa's Wedding was everything we hoped it would be: understated Elegance with wonderful foof, tasteful decor, impeccable service and best of all, the whole event was worry-free for the mother of the Bride! It was a perfect
celebration of love and joy.

 

Because the wedding was held in December, we knew it would be practical to hold the ceremony and reception in the same venue, but we had some concerns about a lack of variety, or that things would feel static. We shouldn't have worried! The Ceremony in the upstairs room was magical; we had a beautiful twilight view to gaze at until our attention was taken by the entrance of the Bridal Party. The lovely Cocktail Hour that followed in the downstairs room provided a throughly enjoyable preamble to the festive Reception that you so beautifully arranged for us, back again in the upstairs room. The views outside those beautifulwindows had transformed into a glittering panorama of bridge lights over the sparkling Hudson with Tarrytown twinkling off in the distance. With the beautiful arrangement of the tables, the pleasant lighting and the welcoming staff, the ambiance was perfect.

 

We were so pleased with your recommendation of Action Entertainment. The young man in charge understood what we wanted and he managed the evening beautifully, creating seamless transitions between events and organizing the
music selections to create an enjoyable evening for all. The pianist you suggested, Moira Box, was delightful - she
provided the ideal background for our cockatil hour.

 

You and your staff truly went beyond my expectations- helping to create a most enjoyable and memorable event. Please know that you have our most sincere thanks for you attention and care.

 

Sincerely,
Catherine

 


Michele,

 

You have been a pleasure to work with... Thanks for always being so helpful and pleasant!

 

My best,
Susan

 


Dear Valicitie and Staff,
 
Fred and I wanted to let you all know what a fabulous wedding we had! We don't know where to start: with the exceptional food, attentive service or beautiful decor.  It was all above and beyond our expectations.  Our guests could
not stop talking about the food and the decor; they loved it!  You were the best help of all, I could not have had such a wonderfully executed wedding without you! You were everywhere and gracefully conducted our wedding.  The food was wonderful as well.  I never received so many compliments about steak, mashed potatoes, apple crepe, the soup, the cocktail hour and the list goes on to even include the toasted pecans in the salad!  Everything was exceptional and very lavish.  My brother-in-law said he wished someone else was getting married soon so we could go back for another wedding there! Thank you so much for making our wedding day truly perfect and much more than we had ever dreamed of.  I am looking forward to having all of our special occasions at Nyack Seaport.
 
Sincerely,
Kate Kana and Frederick Gomez
