Stonebridge is an amazing place to have your wedding! From the beautiful grounds and spaces to the great people, we could not have been happier to have booked Stonebridge. Gregg was amazing throughout the planning process, he was very helpful and always answered any questions we had almost immediately! On the day of the wedding, Terrence went above and beyond to make sure the evening ran as smooth as possible, and he truly succeeded! Alex, our bridal attendant was also awesome and was by our sides when we needed her! The food was amazing, we are still hearing from our guests how good the food was compared to any other wedding they have been to. Our guests kept saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to! That speaks volumes about Stonebridge and the staff who go above and beyond to make sure your special day is the best day ever.

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.

The Patterson Club was an absolutely incredible venue for our wedding. The setting is stunning — classic, elegant, and beautifully maintained — and it created the perfect backdrop for our day. Alisa, the event coordinator, was amazing to work with and truly helped make the entire day seamless. She was organized, responsive, and incredibly attentive from planning through execution, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. The staff was exceptional — especially in how attentive they were to the bride and groom. We had multiple people checking in on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel so well taken care of. The service was outstanding from start to finish. The food was delicious and received so many compliments, and the espresso martinis were an absolute hit with our guests. From cocktail hour through the reception, everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or venue. If you’re looking for a timeless, well-run, and elegant wedding venue with exceptional service, The Patterson Club is an outstanding choice.

Earthplace was perfect for our 145-person ceremony. It is stunning, unique and great for those on a budget, as the space needs no additional rentals or decorations. Truly cannot beat this venue, and the staff was responsive, helpful and accommodating every step of the way. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to allow for a bar truck and chuppah to be installed without disrupting the nature/wildlife.

We had a beautiful wedding at the greenhouse of the Beardsley Zoo. The GlowWild light festival in the evening simply added to the magic of the event. The coordinators were wonderful in helping us set up and organize everything. If I had one piece of constructive feedback, it would just be that the head coordinator, Lindsay, was sometimes tricky to get in contact with via telephone for things like making our deposit and final payment for the venue.

If you want a PARTY, book this venue. They have multiple rooms at this venue you can book depending on your headcount. We booked the Majestic Room on the top floor for 75 people. They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows. The service is WHITE GLOVE and the food will impress your guests. Book this venue!

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

From our very first tour all the way to the end of our wedding day, we truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding experience. We will forever be grateful to the incredible staff at Grassy Hill Country Club for making such an important and meaningful day feel absolutely magical and stress free. Our top priorities in searching for a venue were an enclosed outdoor ceremony space, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour space, lots of light and accessibility for guests both driving and commuting in from NYC. This venue fit all of these and we booked our date after our first visit. We appreciated the friendliness of the tour because they were very open and accommodating about any ideas we had and offered helpful ideas from previous weddings. The tour didn’t feel rushed or sales-focused like we experienced at a few of the nearby venues. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a nice hilly ride up into a mountain view and we loved that the ceremony gazebo was enclosed and didn’t have a view of golfers on the course. The communication with the general manager Tim was smooth from the beginning and he was extremely responsive to our questions at all hours of the day. His check-ins made us feel confident that everything was being checked off our list as we got closer to the wedding date. He made planning the wedding from out of state extremely easy by recommending great local vendors. Along with assisting with all of the small details he also personally ran the rehearsal where his attention to detail was very helpful and left everyone feeling prepared the night before the wedding. As a bride, I could not have been more thankful for the help of Tim and Tia the morning of my wedding. As expected I was full of emotions but their coordination made sure I was never hungry, hot or stressed. Being able to get ready at the venue let me have a calm morning and having multiple rooms allowed my husband and I to take turns taking photos with our family and side of the bridal party ahead of the ceremony without running into each other. Tia never missed a step and kept the bridal party well fed and comfortable. On top of that she assisted me with lining up with my father and gave me great words of comfort before such a big moment. From that point forward everything was taken care of by the amazing staff and we were able to fully be present at our wedding. They coordinated with the DJ and photographer and everything felt perfectly paced. The outdoor area overlooking the mountain was a perfect spot to step out, watch the beautiful sunset and get some fresh air. Thank you again to Tim, Tia and all of the incredible staff who made our day perfect.

I was blown away with how much she assisted me and how at ease she made me feel. Debbie made sure everything and I mean everything ran smooth and on time. The food is top notch, many said it was the BEST cocktail hour they had ever experienced, some even thought it was there meal! Between the quality and quantity it was superior. The ballroom, the chandeliers, the views! I could go on and on. The venue truly has it all, not to mention a photo op around every corner! We Had our winter fairytale wedding December 14. 2024.

From our first conversation, the team at The Inn At Pound Ridge By Jean-Georges answered every question we had and made planning feel easy. The venue itself is gorgeous!!! The romantic setting in the wine cellar with candles created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. What really stood out was how thoughtful they were about the details: they welcomed our guests with a signature drink, turned off the music during our speeches so everyone could hear us clearly, and surprised us with a special dessert at the end of the night. They also went out of their way to accommodate our gluten-free guest, making sure she felt included and cared for. The waitstaff was patient and kind throughout the evening, treating our guests like family. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'd recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that truly goes the extra mile. My husband and I will definitely come back for our anniversary :)

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.

We could not have had a better wedding experience and a huge part of that is due to the amazing staff at the Pavilion. Emily helped us every step of the way. She answered all of the many questions I had, organized our tasting, did our final meeting with us where we went over all of the details and assured us that we were in good hands. On the day of, Tarek and Sabrina were hands down the best. They were there to help us with anything we needed and were checking in on us frequently. They provided us with food and drinks too. Sabrina and Cece were super helpful bustling my dress, and could not have been kinder to all. The staff packed up food for me and my new husband to enjoy. They were incredible with set up and clean up too! I got to pick up all of my things the morning after and Tarek even helped me load the car! If how the staff is hasn’t convinced you enough, you cannot beat the location. We had the best weather, perfect sunset, and views that no one could resist taking a picture of. Our wedding day was truly the best day and an unforgettable one. The guests raved about the beautiful views, the kind staff, and the DELICIOUS food (go Chef Ethan!). Truly the best venue around!
