“Thank you to Taylor, Molly, Jared, Chef and the entire Seawane team for making my wedding day the most perfect day! From the moment I inquired and spoke to Jared, to visiting with my (now) husband and planning with Taylor, the team went above and beyond to listen and execute. Taylor was ALWAYS available to answer questions and calm my nerves. And the food, Chef outdid himself. We had many guests say it was the best wedding food they have ever had. This venue and team are one of a kind.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“BEST wedding venue on Long Island! The Swan Club offers everything you need and more. The people involved in your big day make a HUGE difference and we cannot say enough great things about our maitre’d PAT and our bridal attendant DIANA. Both of them were there for whatever we may have needed and Pat was the best leading up to the day with answering questions and going over what we envisioned to make it a reality. There was no need for an outside wedding planner because of them and these two alone are enough reason to book the swan club! The food was SO delicious - from the extravagant cocktail hour to the 7 options for dinner and the spread for dessert was like a dream - they had some treats not other venues offer and everything was sooooo good. & the grounds are amazing with so many features like ponds and gardens - our cocktail hour and photos had the most beautiful scenery! We are so happy we chose the Swan Club for our wedding day and can’t recommend them enough for your next event!”
