Nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley, The Academy is a newly-restored eating and drinking destination just steps from Poughkeepsie’s reinvigorated downtown district.

Keepsake, the crown jewel of the development, is now offering couples the ideal space for the wedding day of their dreams.

At 8700 SF, the space at Keepsake can be utilized for both the formal ceremony and the evening’s festivities. Sliding wood doors serve as a backdrop for the exchanging of vows. Afterwards, guests will be whisked away to the premiere courtyard for cocktail hour, while our team seamlessly transforms the main space for an evening of farm-to-table food, beverages and dancing.
