I cannot day enough good things about Mountainville manor. We had an elopement ceremony and pictures on the property. We could not have been happier and luckier to have found this venue. The whole process was simple and although it was an elopement with just the two of us, the owner Lauren, made it feel so special. The bouquet that was included in the elopement package was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. The grounds are immaculately kept w beautiful landscaping. The newly remodeled interior is as beautiful. There is a beautiful bridal and grooms room. The bride room includes a full bathroom w a shower. The owner, Lauren was very attentive and made sure we had water and a bite to eat as well as offering to go to the store in the event we forgot something. She was extremely accommodating and and made sure our vision was executed and really wanted to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams.

Liberty Hall Museum helped to make my Mid-September wedding an absolute dream. We had our ceremony in front of the lush apple orchard, our cocktail hour around the rose garden that was still blooming and our reception under the tent. We utilized the Carriage House during cocktail hour and for dessert. Liberty Hall staff, as always, was warm, helpful, accommodating and so, so patient. There was never an issue and they were quick to fix anything before it was noticed. Our photographer was so excited about all the different opportunities for unique and beautiful photos throughout the grounds, over the course of the evening. I have a hard time finding the words that truly express what an amazing location Liberty Hall is. Almost 5 years later my husband and I are still receiving compliments about our wedding day.

I am in my early stages of planning and setting up my wedding at Snug Harbor. I had attended a wedding and was so impressed by the staff and service. I was a bridesmaid for that wedding and had the opportunity to also be the event planner for my dear friends wedding. Snug was at the top of the list. Once my friends had seen the place they were set on it! For myself, as of late I’ve been doing many tours of many venues and finally I circled back to Snug Harbor. I wanted to try for something unique and different and after seeing so many venues that felt like copy and pastes of each other, Snug was a refreshing breath. I’ve been working with Kenzie and Josephine who have been nothing but helpful in the process of hammering out details. One thing for me and my fiancé that was important was that the food held up to our standards. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to do a tasing before booking (as most venues offer either NO tasting or a tasting event after booking). Kenzie worked out a plan for us to get a private tasting the morning of another wedding. This was such a relief and the price we spend on the tasting will go directly toward our wedding. Unlike other venues, I do feel like I’ve been able to customize packages and food and really make this the event we had dreamed about. Not to mention we are local to Staten Island and this venue does NOT feel like we are in Staten Island. It is such a tucked away oasis that we are saying yes to! It is better than pictures and I can not express how excited we are that we found such a beautiful and unique venue close to home for our family and friends. I plan to update this review as I go or after the wedding!
