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!

Our experience with The Riverview was incredible from start to finish. The process of booking included a detailed tour of the venue and a thorough review of the terms and conditions at a meeting to sign the contract, leaving us confident that we fully understood what we were agreeing to. Our tasting event was a wonderful chance to see the team in action and make some decisions about our own menu based on what we did and didn’t like. We worked with Kayla and Meghan as our coordinators, both of whom were a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive throughout the planning process. We were able to take advantage of their expertise based on experiences with past weddings but still had the flexibility to customize the details of the day so that it didn’t feel like a “cookie-cutter” event. And the physical space is truly beautiful! Our planning experience was wonderful, but the experience with the venue and team on the day of our wedding was exceptional. Meghan’s positive but firm leadership kept things moving smoothly and between her and our attendants, Cam and Felicia, every detail was attended to! They were prepared for everything, even wardrobe malfunctions, makeup mishaps, and last-minute requests. We did quite a bit of DIY planning and customizing, but on the day of, we did not need to lift a finger! We were especially impressed the the special attention paid to our priorities. My husband and I were excited about our menu and prioritized food during our planning meetings. At our wedding, the venue made sure we had plenty of opportunity to eat, but the excitement of the day took away our appetite. The Riverview team packed up all of the food we couldn’t eat and sent us home with our leftovers (plus some!) so that we still got to enjoy our meal! Another item worth noting is that although two weddings took place that night, we never would have known it! We could not hear the other wedding in our ballroom and never encountered the other group during the entire time we were on site! In short, planning our wedding at The Riverview was an amazing experience, and the wedding day itself was even better! I’d encourage anyone to book!

We were over the moon with our wedding at Saint Clement's Castle. The venue is simply magical - the castle architecture and sweeping views of the water took our breath away and provided a fairy tale backdrop. The team was a dream to work with, very responsive throughout planning and attentive to all our needs and vision. Our day-of-coordinator was a rockstar, making us feel like royalty. Everything flowed seamlessly thanks to her and the staff. The little touches like the heartfelt note at the end of the night were so thoughtful. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue and service. If you want an stress-free wedding with wow factor, look no further than Saint Clement's.

They made the weekend about as stress-free as we could have hoped - even despite the tornado warning on Saturday! Our guests had an amazing time from start to finish, and would not have been possible without lots of help. From putting together table arrangements, setting up campfires on 3 consecutive nights, making sure everyone got to their cabins and were settled in, having food prepared for 100 guests from Friday-Sunday, guiding hikes, coordinating all the vendors, supervising beer olympics, etc etc etc -- THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I can’t even put into words how special my wedding was thanks to The Lake House (but I’m going to try lol). I found this location on Zola and when I contacted the owner, Paul, it was like speaking to an old friend even though we had never met before. He is so sincere and thoughtful and has the best tips and tricks for wedding planning. I never hired a wedding planner and I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning of my planning process but Paul was there every step of the way for me. He answered all my emails filled with dumb questions and he advised me in the best way. Carole, my wedding coordinator at the venue, was an absolute gem as well and made things so easy. My wedding was 11/16/24 (the last wedding of their season!) and I still have guests telling me how fantastic everything was. Especially the FOOD. I truly dream about the filet mignon and tiramisu we had about twice a week lol. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. I would have my next birthday party here just so I can see Paul and Carole again and eat more of the delicious food lol. The location is GORGEOUS and they truly made my wedding the best night of my entire life.

From the moment we booked Grand View, Erin was our coordinator and she was always quick to respond and help with any questions or requests we had. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - there was no need to do anything crazy to decorate, as the space was so elegant and well-designed already. All of our decorations and centerpieces were dropped off ahead of time, and the staff arranged everything so beautifully. Our guests loved the open bar and the overall flow of the event. Grand View truly contributed to making our special day perfect in every way. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue or team to work with.
