“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!”

“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”

“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 couldn't have asked for a better venue than the Schooner Liberty Clipper. From start to finish, the team was helpful, responsive, and genuinely kind—they made us feel taken care of every step of the way. They went out of their way to accommodate our older guests, helped us create a special cocktail, and even provided a quiet space for us to get ready before the big moment.

“My husband and I booked this venue before all of the renovations were completed, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Our wedding was truly a dream come true. The venue was absolutely breathtaking, and the coastal wedding vibe we envisioned came to life perfectly. From the very beginning, the entire team was wonderful to work with, especially Mirian. She made the planning process incredibly organized, seamless, and stress-free. Mirian ensured that every detail was considered and went above and beyond to help us create our dream wedding. She coordinated with our vendors, accommodated our requests, and worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and for making our special day possible. The food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about it! The short rib was phenomenal, and the mashed potato station was a huge hit. From cocktail hour to dinner and dessert, every option was delicious and beautifully presented. We received countless compliments on the food and overall experience. The venue was also extremely accommodating, particularly when it came to dietary needs, which meant a lot to us and our guests. A special thank you to both Mirian and Joe for their dedication and genuine care throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue or team to help us celebrate one of the most important days of our lives. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning location, exceptional service, and an unforgettable wedding experience.”
