We had our wedding on 6/1/24 and look back on this day with so much joy, fondness, and gratitude. Working with Mary, George, and Susan was a true pleasure and we felt so comfortable with them and trusted them fully. Our ceremony was beautiful and held outdoors. The landscape and vibrant colors are truly stunning. A peacock even made an appearance during the first look outdoors! The grounds are absolutely stunning (especially in late Spring) and provide so many opportunities for amazing photos (fountain, bridge, stairs, courtyard). The venue itself is beautiful and spacious. The Victorian aesthetic enhances the beauty and romantic charm. The dance floor was a great size and the room fit our 120 guests very comfortably. The reception room is beautifully decorated, as well as the tables. The windows (with option to close curtains) provide great natural light you are having a daytime wedding. The service at Westbury Manor was outstanding from the day 1. All of our guests raved about the food at cocktail hour and could not believe they could choose among seven options for dinner. People kept saying how this was the best food they have had at a wedding and we can attest to this. Westbury Manor and their amazing staff helped make our day perfect and unforgettable. We highly recommend having your wedding here without reservation!

GCH was the most amazing venue. I’ve been to a majority of the venues on Long Island but this one took the cake. The food was OUTSTANDING (everyone raves about it), the people (especially Paul) were so unbelievably helpful and amazing. My bridal attendant Nang was WOW. She held my train everywhere while we were walking and fluffed it to help the photographers, she always had water for me and the groom, she carried my lipsticks and had me reapplying, she bustled my dress so easily so we didn’t have to bother my mom, she got mine and my husbands afterparty outfits ready for us so we didn’t have to go upstairs… the list goes on and on. If you want a venue that makes your life super easy leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding and one that your guests will rave about for literally months this is the place.

NYIT de Severesky Mansion made our wedding a fairytale dream come true. Working with Dana, she made every step of the process easy…. She is an absolute superstar! We were originally supposed to get married in 2021 but chose to postpone (multiple times) because of the pandemic and they worked with my fiancé and I every step of the way…even when we had to move our date one more time because I, the bride, tested positive for COVID 48 hours before the wedding. The food is remarkable, the atmosphere is incomparable and they care about their clients as people working to make sure your day is perfect. Whenever I had a question, Dana would lead me to a vendor, offer her suggestions, and her support. I could not recommend them more.
