“From the moment we walked into Sea Cliff Manor, we knew it was the one. It was actually the first and only venue we looked at because the same day we toured, we immediately fell in love and booked it on the spot. Sophia was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and helpful from the very beginning. She made the entire experience feel so special and truly helped us envision our dream wedding there. Fast forward to our wedding day — it honestly could not have gone more perfectly. Ian and the entire team went above and beyond in every possible way to make sure our day was seamless, stress-free, and everything we dreamed it would be. The views were absolutely incredible. We were lucky enough to have the most gorgeous sunset, and with the sun shining during cocktail hour, the entire atmosphere felt magical. The cocktail hour itself was completely out of this world — from the live saxophone player creating such an elegant vibe to the most unique, classy, and delicious dishes being served all throughout the space. Our guests are still talking about it! The venue itself is stunning, the food was amazing, and the staff made us and our guests feel so special all night long. Every detail was handled so professionally, and we truly felt cared for from start to finish. We are beyond grateful to the entire Sea Cliff Manor team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would choose this venue again a million times over!”

“Choosing a wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions you'll make during the planning process and I can confidently say, choosing Swan Lake Caterers was the best decision we made. I’m so excited to write this review so other couples can have a similarly incredible experience! I looked everywhere around the tri-state area from Jersey, to Connecticut, all the boroughs (including Staten Island!!) to all over Long Island. Swan Lake Caterers was actually the first venue I visited, and I fell in love instantly. But, like many brides, I was indecisive. I kept searching, trying to be sure… and after every other tour, I kept coming back to Swan Lake in my heart, I had a feeling it was the one! And it absolutely was. The entire day was seamless, magical, and full of joy. One of the most touching things someone said to me was from my sister. She told me, “So many brides can’t enjoy their wedding day because there’s so much going on but we could see in your face how carefree and happy you were. You were truly having fun” This was in large part due to Swan Lake Caterers allowing me to focus on my husband, family and friends. They gave us peace of mind, beautiful surroundings, and the freedom to be fully present in every moment. The food was out of this world, our guests are still talking about it! Sophia and Charlie really catered to what we wanted and to our guests’ dietary needs! Including three of our vegan family members. The venue itself was picture perfect. It was elegant, romantic, and timeless! One of my guests said it looked like it was out of a Disney movie. Elena, our maitre-d worked with me in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure the decor and vibe was everything we wanted. She knocked it out of the park! Even though it was a little chilly, and started to drizzle, Sophia was in contact with us in the week leading up to it, to make sure everyone was comfortable temperature wise. They were so unimaginably attentive to us! The day of, Elena made sure that even without a rehearsal everything went off without a hitch. Speaking of attentiveness, Jill, my bridal attendant, was simply amazing. She made sure we had drinks in our hand, food on our plates, helped me fix the train on my dress a million and one times. I’m pretty sure they helped one of my guests fix a ripped dress? Seriously. People said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to! If you're thinking about getting married here, stop thinking and just say YES. I can’t express how incredibly grateful I am to Swan Lake Caterers and would love it for every other couple (and their guests) to have a similar experience!”

“The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow was a perfect venue for us! We knew we wanted something a little bit unique as a venue, and this was it! We were able to have our ceremony on the boardwalk and then guests were able to move around on the boardwalk and the beach throughout the night. We also loved that we were able to have our band and dancing in one room with dinner in the other. There is a lot of space to utilize however you want, so we used the outside areas for our guestbook signing, a photobooth, and a glassware engraver. We also got super lucky with a sunset too! They were very accommodating with any requests that we had prior to the day, and made sure that we were taken care of throughout our day. Everytime myself or my husband turned around someone from the Pavilion was making sure we were fed, had a drink or needed anything! Tarek, Henry and Anthony were extremely attentive throughout the night. Our guests were raving about the cocktail hour, dinner, dessert and midnight snacks. We also added the hotdog cart for an exit station and ended up adding passed desserts which we loved! Just a note that this venue is being taken over by a new company so I’m not sure what changes are being made!”

“We had our DREAM wedding at Stonebridge Country Club. From the first meeting with Diana to the day after our wedding and every day in between, everything was perfect. Any time I emailed or called, my questions were answered. Everyone was beyond helpful and kind. Stonebridge is a great venue for many reasons. Some of our favorite parts were that it is a one wedding venue, they have a beautiful outdoor or indoor ceremony area, they venue holds a lot of people, the wrap around bar in cocktail hour room stays open all night long, they have beautiful getting ready suites and we knew we would be in great hands. The day of our wedding was perfect. We got ready in the beautifully updated bridal and grooms suites. Dinora was our bridal attendant. She is absolutely AMAZING. Not only did she remember mine and my husbands family members names but she was acknowledging everyone by their names; my bridesmaids, groomsmen & the kids. Whenever I needed something she was there to assist. She is truly phenomenal and made our wedding perfect and seamless. Terrence/T- Money, is another amazing part of getting married at Stonebridge. He was our maître d’ but truly he wears so many hats. He and Dinora worked perfectly together. Terrence was helpful in so many ways. He helped my husband cool down with frozen towels which was perfect. He made sure we both had a drink, glass of water or anything we needed. He ran our ceremony and was there to cheer us on. I can’t imagine him not being a part of our special day. And lastly, Diana was very helpful from the moment we booked until the day after the wedding. She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and always willing to help. She always made time for us. She was genuinely excited for our wedding day and she felt like family. My husband and I are so thankful that we got married at Stonebridge. We can’t wait to come back again as guests! Stonebridge will always be a special place for us. ”

“I can not say enough good things about this amazing venue! From our first chat in 2024 through our wedding day in 2026 they exceeded all our expectations. Rob answered my message right away, I had 3 amazing walk throughs with both him and TK prior to booking because I needed to weigh every possible option, and every other team member we met along the way felt like they were just as excited for our wedding day as we were. I can not even remember how many times I called to ask little questions like what time dinner would be served and every person that answered was either able to immediately give me an answer or would get someone who could. On our wedding day every staff member were the most caring and supportive people we could have ever asked for. Nick was our captain and made sure every moment of the day followed my vision. Morgan and Paige were our bridal attendants and over a month later my husband and I still talk about how much we loved them. They both anticipated anything we could possibly need before we needed it and checked on us all night long. My husband asked if anyone had matches and they magically appeared. I mentioned that my dress strap was cutting into me and a few moments later I was offered 3 possible solutions (which worked for the entire night). Every guest can not stop raving about the food and how beautiful the entire party was. They made sure everything we wanted happened and made sure to pull us aside to take a moment to breathe.
