“We had the most amazing wedding at The Mansion at Oyster Bay in October 2024! We had our full wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty) all at the mansion and the day was flawless and our guests can't say enough about how amazing everything was! The food, drinks and atmosphere were all amazing and the staff was so kind, attentive and warm, not only to just us as the couple, but to all of our guests. The team at the mansion was very communicative throughout the entire wedding planning process, and on the day of they knew exactly how we wanted the day to run and they pulled it off without any hiccups or problems! Our wedding was outside and it was a gorgeous day, but I also would have been happy if we needed to do the ceremony inside because the decor is so stunning. All of my pictures look amazing because the mansion is such a stunning backdrop. I highly recommend you have your wedding here!!”

“My wedding was beautiful. Amalia was amazing in helping me to arrange everything, Chris was great, the chef (Eric) is beyond talented, and our Maitre D (Kelly) was fabulous. All of the event staff was very helpful and professional. I was supposed to have my ceremony in the garden outside, but we had to pivot due to the weather. They set up a beautiful, intimate, room and even had an arch and easels that we could borrow. Everyone had a blast and loved the service and the food. When people say Serafresca has good food, believe them. The food is amazing. Great value for the money and the bridal suite was the perfect size and very comfortable. My husband and I were served appetizers there while we waited too go into the reception and then we were personally served at our sweet heart table (we had a buffet). I would definitely recommend Serafresca for any event, but for weddings especially as they offer great options at a reasonable price point.”

“From our first conversation, the team at The Inn At Pound Ridge By Jean-Georges answered every question we had and made planning feel easy. The venue itself is gorgeous!!! The romantic setting in the wine cellar with candles created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. What really stood out was how thoughtful they were about the details: they welcomed our guests with a signature drink, turned off the music during our speeches so everyone could hear us clearly, and surprised us with a special dessert at the end of the night. They also went out of their way to accommodate our gluten-free guest, making sure she felt included and cared for. The waitstaff was patient and kind throughout the evening, treating our guests like family. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'd recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that truly goes the extra mile. My husband and I will definitely come back for our anniversary :)”

“Le Chateau was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We genuinely did not have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. Everything was so organized, seamless, and handled with such care that we were able to completely relax and enjoy every moment. Sara was amazing from the very beginning. She was so clear and thorough in getting us started and making sure we understood everything throughout the planning process. Tori was fantastic at keeping us on track and making sure we were completely ready to go. Then Debbie took everything over on the wedding day and made sure the entire day ran seamlessly. We truly felt like we were in the best hands. And Claudia — what can we say?! She was the BEST bridal attendant a bride and groom could ask for. She was attentive without ever being overwhelming and seemed to know exactly what we needed before we even had to ask. She made us feel so taken care of throughout the entire day. The food was also absolutely phenomenal. Our guests are STILL talking about it. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and so many specifically said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. That is something we will never forget! The servers were amazing as well — attentive, friendly, professional, and incredibly hardworking. Every member of the Le Chateau team contributed to making our wedding everything we dreamed it would be. Our wedding truly was the best day ever, and Le Chateau played such a huge role in making it that way. We could not recommend them more highly!”

“If you want a PARTY, book this venue. They have multiple rooms at this venue you can book depending on your headcount. We booked the Majestic Room on the top floor for 75 people. They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows. The service is WHITE GLOVE and the food will impress your guests. Book this venue!”

The staff was exceptional — especially in how attentive they were to the bride and groom. We had multiple people checking in on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel so well taken care of. The service was outstanding from start to finish.

“We had a beautiful wedding at the greenhouse of the Beardsley Zoo. The GlowWild light festival in the evening simply added to the magic of the event. The coordinators were wonderful in helping us set up and organize everything. If I had one piece of constructive feedback, it would just be that the head coordinator, Lindsay, was sometimes tricky to get in contact with via telephone for things like making our deposit and final payment for the venue.”

“We got married here in October 2025. We had an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour and the venue was gorgeous for the whole day. As we were getting married in mid October, weather was a concern and although we didn’t need it Kelsey was great at easing our concerns with a contingency plan. From the first meeting with Perry, the staff went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran perfect. On the actual wedding day, Kelsey and my bridal attendant Jen helped make sure that everything ran smoothly from the moment we got there. They made sure that the bridal party and families were comfortable during pictures and were eating and drinking. Kelsey is absolutely amazing at organizing and very communicative which helped make sure everything ran smoothly, even in the months leading up to the day. When my wedding planner was non communicative and I was unable to reach her, Kelsey stepped in and answered all my questions and made sure we had everything we needed. We also used Vincenza for our Chuppah and decor and flowers. She executed our vision exactly how we wanted and everything looked beautiful on the day of! People are still talking about how amazing the food was and how great and attentive the servers were. I highly recommend the Briarcliff Manor.”

“Whitby Castle was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication style was responsive, kind, and warm - they made us feel like we were their top priority. The quality of their work and the value they provided was nothing short of amazing, perfection, and beautiful. They constantly checked the weather to ensure our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour were flawless, and their attentive staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. And the food - oh the food! It was even more amazing on our wedding day than the incredible tasting we had beforehand. Every single dish was out of this world delicious. We are forever grateful to the team at Whitby Castle for making our special day truly unforgettable. We had several add-ons (sushi, Venetian, and donuts and apple cider to go) and every single one was a hit. Every single guest kept talking about the food and how beautiful the venue is!! Who wouldn’t want to get married in a castle?”
