A Family Legacy Since 1937
O’Brien’s Sleepy Hollow has been hosting celebrations for nearly a century. Founded in 1937 by our grandfather as a banquet and dance hall, the venue welcomed generations of families through the years — even through the challenges of World War II.
Later, the business was lovingly run by our parents, and in 2002 the next generation stepped in to continue the tradition. Today, Sleepy Hollow is proudly in its fourth generation of family ownership, with our own children now part of the story.
That legacy is built on one simple idea: when you celebrate here, you’re treated like family.
