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!!

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!

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!
