From the moment we met Kathy and saw The Douglaston Manor, we knew it would be the place we get married. We absolutely loved the old charm and how spacious all the rooms were. Kathy, Claudia, and Jose worked so hard for our event, and we truly had an amazing time. It was lightly raining during our wedding ceremony, and they managed to get some umbrellas for our guests! That small but meaningful gesture should just tell you how much they care for all their couples. Truly from the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate this venue and all the staff that work there.

The team at the Garden City Hotel was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with them, they were easy to communicate with and very responsive to all of our questions and requests. The space itself was absolutely stunning - the ballroom was beautifully decorated and the outdoor gardens provided a lovely backdrop for our photos. But what really made the day special was the outstanding service we received. The bridal attendant, Nang, was with me from the moment I put on my dress until the very end of the night, ensuring I had everything I needed and helping to make the day run smoothly. The events directors, Paul, Merril, and Jose, were also incredibly helpful, working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch.

We worked with Chantal and Sasha for our 8/2023 wedding and could not have had a better experience. Chantal was so responsive, helpful, creative, patient, and overall just truly pleasant to work with. She listened to what we wanted and helped make our day feel so unique and special to us. The entire staff made our dream wedding day come true and I could not recommend the venue more. Sasha was our wedding attendant and so sweet and attentive and patient. She's been working at the venue for 19 years and her experience was so helpful to have! We moved cocktail hour out on the patio for an additional fee which was also greatly appreciated by our guests who got to take amazing photos and enjoy the gardens before our dinner - highly recommend considering if it's in your budget! Again, really enjoyed working with the entire NYBG team and specifically with Chantal and Sasha. We will thrilled with the outcome!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Bonnie staff, in particular their exception events coordinator Tali, made our dream wedding come to life. Their expertise, dedication, communication and support throughout the entire wedding process felt like a Godsend. We were blown away by how seamlessly everything came together. They ensured that every aspect of the evening ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on our guests and each other. We frequent the Bonnie for dinners and brunches and when we first laid eyes on their beautiful enclosed garden - we knew it was the perfect spot for our wedding. The food is UNREAL. Truly the best food in Queens. Our guests were floored by the menu options and it was the most authentic and intimate vibe. We are over the moon & as soon as we get photos back - I will happily share them to demonstrate how beautifully decorated the space was!!! If you're looking for a venue please look no further -- the Bonnie has it all. Thank you so much to everyone there. It really was the absolute best.
