We were at the showcase on 4/1/25. Everything was fabulous and solidified even more how happy we are that we booked with the Inn at New Hyde Park! We brought our very picky, Italian mothers with us and they were floored by everything; vendors, room, staff, food…everything was outstanding! Both moms fell in love with the cannoli girl and insisted we book her on the spot. Thank you, Lynne and your team! This showcase has made us so excited for our wedding on 4/10/26!

Our experience with the Douglaston Manor was an actual dream come true! From the moment we walked in to see the Manor, Kathy, our wedding coordinator, was wonderful. Relaxed, sweet, and so caring about us and what we wanted, she never made us feel pressured or nervous and gently made suggestions which ended up making our night even better than we could have hoped. Working with Carlos our Maitre D and Michelle my Bridal Attendant was a blessing. Michelle was so attentive and helpful. Within minutes of meeting her, I felt like I was spending time with a good friend. She was so funny, kept me calm and literally did anything and everything I needed- most of the time without me having to ask her. The same could be said for Carlos. Just to give a small example, my fake eyelash starting come off a tiny bit. Without any eyelash glue on us, I was nervous about how we would fix the issue but The Manor proved how above and beyond they'd go when Carlos, unpromoted and unknown to me at the time, went out and brought me eyelash glue! It was a small gesture but it went a long way and showed me how devoted the Manor is to their clients. Michelle made sure he knew exactly what to get and she helped me fix it when he came back (which was unbelievably quick as well) . Carlos was fantastic at keeping my group organized and making sure the ceremony was perfect. We are so grateful to both of them. Aside from their exceptional service, the staff at the manor was outstanding- every room was impeccably decorated and arranged exactly as we had hope, all of the items we had brought with us for various aspects of the night were set up perfectly without instruction and the attention to detail was second to none. The food. I am biased seeing as it was my own wedding, but the food was incredible from start to finish. The cocktail hour sampling that Michelle left from my husband and I including EVERYTHING being served downstairs and was presented beautifully- time was clearly taken to make sure we were able to try the food but also have it presented to us in a really special way. Kathy had suggested we try an "off-menu" item, braised beef in a red wine sauce, and no surprise, it was easily the best tasting wedding dinner item I've had at any wedding. There are so many things that go into making a wedding day perfect and that means there are so many things that are easy to stress over. Not once during the planning process or on the big day did I ever feel worried or concerned. Everybody communicated clearly, checked and double checked things and did everything possible to ensure everything was perfect- not just great, but genuinely perfect. Oh, and the cost was VERY reasonable. Kathy worked with us every step of the way to accommodate our budget while making sure the elements we wanted were included. We are looking forward to going back to the manor for future celebrations and feel so thankful to have been treated so well. They made our day everything we ever could have hoped for!

We celebrated our wedding on June 29 with about 75 guests, and it was nothing short of magical. We exchanged our personal vows before the ceremony, which took place outside in front of a beatiful waterfall. The setting was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect backdrop for our special day. Cindy and the entire 650 crew were phenomenal! Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day perfect was evident in everything they did. I wish I had more time to give each of them a hug for their incredible work! The food and drinks were simply amazing — to say they were delicious would be an understatement. What truly set this venue apart was Cindy’s dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly. She was on top of every detail, even those I wasn’t aware of, allowing me to fully enjoy my day without any worries.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Whitby Castle for our wedding that just took place in October! From the breathtaking architecture to the stunning golf course and water views, every detail of this venue is picture-perfect. The castle’s charm created an unforgettable backdrop for our ceremony and reception, making our special day feel truly magical. The staff at Whitby Castle went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. They were incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely made us feel like we were their top priority. We were so impressed by how seamless the entire day went, from the planning process to the actual event. The team was incredibly attentive by customizing our reception space to reflect our vision. Their attention to detail in every aspect, from the table settings to the lighting, made our special day feel uniquely ours. Our day-of coordinator worked with grace and precision, making sure everything unfolded effortlessly. We were also lucky to have a bridal attendant that ensured every detail was in place, and who was a lifesaver in every way—professional, calm, and always ready to lend a hand. The indoor spaces, with their rich history and elegant décor, perfectly complemented the outdoor beauty. We loved how the venue was versatile enough to host both our ceremony and reception in one place, while still offering distinct areas for guests to enjoy. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food and exceptional service. The banquet team really made the meal feel like an experience, and we loved that the venue offers a variety of menu options, allowing us to personalize the dining experience for our guests. We couldn’t have imagined a more magical place to celebrate our wedding day. We truly felt like royalty celebrating in such a beautiful, historic venue. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, charm, and outstanding service, Whitby Castle is the perfect choice. Thank you to the Whitby Castle team for helping create the wedding of our dreams!

My husband and I met in a wedding band so we have been to more than 400 weddings, almost all of which were extremely high end, so we knew exactly what we wanted and had very high expectations (on much less of a budget than the weddings we play)! We are so thrilled to have chosen this venue for our wedding because they knocked it out of the park! My family is not from the NY area and they were blown away by the building, the amount and quality of food, the service, etc. My husband’s family IS from the NY area so they expected great things, and the MOB delivered. Emily was so amazing through the entire process, answering my incessant emails and questions quickly and kindly. Mike we got into contact with the week of the wedding and everything ran smoothly. They were patient while we figured out how to make my husband’s vision of a large king’s table for us and our large bridal party happen, and facilitated all of the coordinating. I still had my own month of coordinator, but they take care of so much there, she was able to focus on more minute details because they had everything handled. We did not use any of their recommended vendors. We had a friday wedding to ensure we were the only ones getting married there that day. Bridal and groom’s suite were excellent. Timeline followed to a tee. Could not be happier! And a little hint to future couples: don’t listen to people who say Lessings is bad because they do so many weddings; they are so good at weddings because they do them all the time. Take it from someone who has seen it all, you DO NOT want to go to a place that doesn’t really do weddings. And lastly, so many of the most expensive places we have played are very similar to the mid-tier places we play. Don’t worry if your wedding isn’t at the Pierre, it is upsettingly similar to have it elsewhere.
