It was THE place to get married for many years!
After hearing about the news that Anthony s Pier 9 was sold I started to see and hear all kinds of stories from people that remember attending at least one event at the legendary catering hall. I know that they had their doors open for over 40 years and with that, lot s of great times were had there by many, including ME.kinda.LOL!
It was 1999 and I was engaged to my first wife. Back then if you wanted to throw a bougie wedding the only place to go was Pier 9. If you ve never been it was like a place you d see in Atlantic City but it was here in the Hudson Valley. It had a grand entrance, it had lots of lights and of course fountains and a Cinderella carriage for great pictures. Anyway the marriage didn t last very long but the reception was soooo much fun and the wedding cake they did for us was one of those tier type cakes with staircases connecting the levels of cake..super Italian..LOL!
