“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!!”

“We got married 1/5/25 but had been working with Miriam for probably a year and a half before our big day. She was always so personable with us a treated us like family. Words cannot describe the love and care we felt from Jake, our maître D and Samantha, our bridal attendant, on our wedding day. We were cared for tediously and effortlessly. We felt like at ease, happy and totally relaxed. I needed Samantha and didn’t even know it, I am forever indebted to her - she could not have been more attentive and wonderful. Comforting me, assuring me, getting me where I need to be and when. So friendly, kind and amazing. Thank god for Jake. He is so special and we’re so lucky we got him as our maître D. He deems himself as a “yes man” and he is not lying. Anything you could have ever wanted from him, he’d deliver. We wanted for nothing, had wonderful direction from him all night and he took care of EVERYTHING!  The night was flawless, amazing, perfect and all we could have ever hoped for. The staff at Bourne is unmatched, we made the right choice with this venue. Guests will be in awe of the venue and talk about the food for years to come. I wish I could do it all again. Thank you Bourne mansion & staff for the best night of our lives! I don’t have all my pics back yet!”

“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. We can not wait to attend an event as a guest!”

“Everything with Three Village Inn from start to finish was nothing but amazing. We worked with Tom and we can’t thank him enough. We did the package the venue offered and all the vendors were so great to work with as well. Communication was never an issue and he was just so great. To be honest, the entire staff was a pleasure to work with. Our maître d’ was Jonathan and he was attentive and a pleasure to work with as well. The food at both cocktail hour and dinner was out of this world. Absolutely delicious. Our guests still talk about it. The venue itself is just beautiful and the grounds are great for pictures as well as the beach across the street. We had our ceremony indoors and they did such a great job. Our wedding was more than what we could’ve dreamed of.”
