The Mansion at West Sayville is a gorgeous venue inside and out, and we’re so happy we chose it for our wedding. We loved the vibe from our first visit. It doesn't feel like a wedding factory, but being a Lessing's Venue you know they know what they are doing. Bob was down to earth, practical, and never tried to upsell us or pressure us into adding anything we didn’t need. Anytime I emailed Bob with a question, he responded within minutes and was always very on top of things. On the day of, everything about the wedding itself went so smoothly. Ann Marie the maitre d and Camille the bridal attendant were sweet, attentive, and so good at what they do. They set up our decor so beautifully and packed it away in an organized way at the end of the wedding. Ann Marie kept everything running smoothly, and Camille made sure we always had whatever we wanted, from food and bar drinks to our own pitcher of water when she noticed we were “the most hydrated couple she’d ever worked with” (lol). The bartender and all of our waitstaff were so attentive and wonderful too. The food was delicious and we got so many compliments about it, and about our venue in general. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable and The Mansion at West Sayville played a huge role in that!

I was looking for something different to celebrate my anniversary with my fiancé Annette. I came across this when eating at the restaurant "The Wharf" and I had to try it after speaking with the staff members. The offer 2 options, the 90 minute and/or 3 hour cruise. I chose the 90 minute and every second on the tour was a dream. The views where spectacular, the drinks the bartender was making where fantastic and the music was setting the mood in such a perfect way. My fiancé and I will be doing this again next season!

I just got married at this venue on 8/31/25. I was the second wedding after all the renovations made, and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mirian and Meg. If i can rate them & their staff alone it would be 10 stars. They were so attentive, helpful, professional, and kind. They didn’t only treat me (the bride) or the groom this way, they treated everyone with the utmost respect and amazing service. Sofia was in my care, who was the sweetest person and did everything for me that day. Meg was my maître d and she was so attentive and fun to be around. She pulled strings to make sure i got the most insane pictures and i couldn’t be more grateful that i had someone as great as her attending to me and my new husband! Mirian was the head person in charge before the wedding and she made everything so easy! She dealt with my vendors and made everything possible. she made sure my vision came to life and i really appreciate everything she did for me and my fiance as she made it possible. We met with her two weeks before the wedding, she helped me organize everything and even gave me very cute last minute ideas!! Meg and Mirian were the best two people to deal with i recommend anyone getting married here to push for them for their wedding day too. You know you have amazing staff too when your whole wedding and wedding party know them by name and mention that they loved them. The food was TO DIE FOR!! at one point after pictures, meg and sofia made sure me and my husband sat down for a moment to eat, which was super helpful and thoughtful. The food was amazing, everyone complimented it. Everyone raved about how good the meat carving station, seafood and pasta stations were. Everyone raved about the entrees and dessert as well. I cannot wait to go back and visit this place. It was so special, the vibe, overlooking the water. it made my fairytale wedding come to life. It wasn’t only the venue, it was definitely the people who worked there. Mirian and Meg, thank you so very much for making my wedding so memorable for me, my husband, and our whole family.

I am so happy that we went with Old Field Club for our wedding. It was the perfect combination of serene outdoor space and a fun entertainment dance spot. Sabine and Russ were quick to respond to my emails whenever I needed help. We arrived and everything was set up perfectly, even better than I had imagined over the past year and a half of planning, it was like a dream come true. Aileen and Michael went above and beyond throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed or wanted. Anytime a glass was empty, it was instantly refilled. If you didn’t have a smile on your face, Michael was there to see what he could do to change that. Aileen was a dream, anytime she thought I needed something she would be right by my side. The staff there on our wedding day was more than exceptional, they were extraordinary and I am beyond thrilled that we were lucky enough to have them on our side for the happiest day of our life. They truly went out of their way to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible for us, and I couldn’t wish for anything more. The food was exceptional, we had a brunch buffet and people kept coming up to us and saying how good the omelets were or saying they were going up for their second plate! I highly recommend Old Field Club, they will ensure your wedding dreams come true

Guests: 165 Tables: 16 Date: August 2024 Weather: Sunny and 80s The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the start, their communication was prompt, friendly, and informative, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. We used the Lessings package which made the coordination of all vendors so easy and everyone was wonderful. We really think the package is a great value for the money and would highly recommend others go that route to save both money and time in the planning process. On the day of, the venue's staff provided exceptional service, especially Anthony the maitre d', Cece the bridal attendant, and Maureen the coordinator. They were incredibly accommodating and helped ensure everything ran smoothly, from the beautiful beachfront ceremony to the delicious and plentiful dinner. We had approximately 165 people (16 tables) and fit very comfortably for dinner in the dining room. We were initially concerned about the size of the space but we easily could have fit several more tables in the dining room. We had the DJ and dancing under the large tent and there was plenty of space and the fans / sea breeze kept it perfectly cool. The overall vibe of the venue is understated and elegant. So many guests complimented the beauty of the venue. We offered to-go pizza at the end which was also a huge hit! We are so grateful to the team at The Pavilion for helping make our special day truly unforgettable. We would highly recommend anyone else to have their wedding here!

Overall, we are happy with our wedding day. The Mansion is in the process of being renovated/restored and so far it is looking beautiful! The hotel rooms were recently updated and guests were happy with them. The food was also FANTASTIC! (All of our guests were raving about all of the food). They clearly are a well oiled machine when it comes to throwing weddings. We also had our welcome dinner there the night before, which went amazingly and there was so much food everyone was happy! However, there were a few hiccups that bothered us considering how much money is put into having a wedding & how this venue does weddings all.the.time. so expectations are high. In the planning process, the event coordinator position was replaced 3 times in the year we were planning our wedding with them, the last replacement being the week before our wedding. The final replacement did not have any of our vendor info or cake selections and called me 4 days before my wedding about it (...scary). It must've been a miscommunication from the coordinator prior to her, as that girl never responded to any of our emails; I'm sure she did not keep any notes. The current coordinator also could not answer simple questions our friends/family asked her and was very pushy. On our wedding day, I was paired with a Maitre D who was very sweet, but I'm not sure about her "years" of experience that she claimed to have. While taking photos with our photographer she wasn't paying attention and wasn't fixing my dress/veil every time wind blew it out of place so the photographer had to leave his place each time to fix it himself (it was a windy day so this happened a lot). The photographer also asked her to assist in a "veil toss" shot and she ripped the veil from my head, yanking my head back, when she was just supposed to toss it up in the air. It hurt and pulled on my hair style that was supposed to last all night. I mentioned before the food was excellent, and the Chef is incredible. However, when we booked our venue last year, we were adamant about wanting a real wedding cake--not a fake one you cut one slice into for pictures. We were told by one of the event planners there that all tiers were going to be real cake, but during our cake cutting, we cut into styrofoam...it was disappointing. The cake they served was delicious, but we thought we were paying for a real cake because we were told it would be 100% real. We probably would not have booked this venue had we known we'd get a fake cake; it was something my dad made sure to ask at every venue we checked out, it was important to him. Additionally, some rude comments were overheard by our guests made by various staff members about our wedding. As a business owner whose business is to also provide a service, that is absolutely unacceptable, especially while on the job where people can hear you. Jazmin, the Chef, and the front desk ladies were very pleasant and professional to work with, but no one else there seemed to know what they were doing. It ended up working out but again, with how many weddings this place throws, you'd expect a better level of professionalism.

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!

You read many times that the SCM staff is absolutely incredible, and there is nothing more true! Ian is one of the kindest, caring, most thoughtful and passionate individuals I’ve ever met. From our finals meeting, we clicked and he has done absolutely anything he can to be sure we would have a special day. From setting up decor, to the ceremony running exactly on time, to encouraging guests to play our games and sign our guest book…. he does it all. Let me tell you from someone who was constantly on the fence about getting a DOC - you won’t need one with Ian. At least from the second you arrive at Sea Cliff. He wants to work with you to be sure it is a special day for you!! Camille was fabulous, bustling me all night, keeping us fed, reminding us to “mangia” Every server and bartender we came across was super personable and friendly. It was truly the happiest day of our lives!! They are the whole package. Responsive, caring and the kindest most genuine people and is so refreshing after touring so many other LI Venues that do not show the same level of care. You will not regret booking with Sea Cliff!!

Lisa, Victoria, and the team at Bill Miller's Castle are truly the best. From the moment you step into the Castle to start your tour, you're surrounded by history - not only of the surrounding cities, but for the Miller family as well. The care and love that they have for this space is clearly evident and the character brings such charm and warmth. It truly was the perfect place for us. Lisa was our guiding light throughout the whole process. We felt welcomed when we were with her and she took such great care of us and the details of our day, which allowed everything to turn out exactly as we had imagined. Her knowledge of local vendors as well was truly so helpful for us as we planned our wedding from out of town. There truly is no better place to plan an event than at Bill Miller's if you're in Branford or the surrounding areas. [photos by Rob Skinner Photography]

Not only is the location itself like none other, literally hugging the water's edge, the food is beyond outstanding and the staff is wonderfully professional. The recent renovation under new ownership was so well done, featuring modern and nautical decor while maintaining the charm of the North Fork. The Halyard is connected with The Soundview Hotel making it a truly ideal wedding location, allowing couple's to relax without having to shuffle around on the big day. And no matter what light is given, the closeness to the sea at The Halyard ensures beautiful photos always. It's a special place on The North Fork and hands down my favorite waterfront venue.
