My daughter was married at The Stonehouse in The Lodge. There are not enough positive words to describe the planning and the wedding. Carissa is an absolute pleasure to work with and I imagine to work for. She has the most amazing team of professional and friendly staff. The first time we sat down with her to plan the wedding, we felt like we were special clients. That feeling never disappeared from that day until the wedding. My daughter and I had endless questions throughout the planning. Carissa always responded in a timely fashion and never made us feel like we were a bother. My guests are still talking about the wedding, the venue and especially the food. My husband and I have frequently eaten at The Stonehouse and have always been impressed. We were not surprised that the catering is equally impressive. From the tasting, to planning the menu, to the actual wedding, the choices were endless and amazing. I can not think of a single thing I would change about the day. It was Perfect!! Landmark Group is a top wedding venue because they know how to do it right the first time and every time!!!

Celebrate at Snug Harbor 

5.0

Staten Island, NY
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $35,000

At Celebrate we want our couples to have a completely memorable day that is uniquely their own. Snug Harbor’s 86+ acres of manicures gardens and lush landscaping are the perfect setting for outdoor ceremonies and entertaining al fresco. The property features a large tented pavilion, grand ballroom and lower great hall for more intimate gatherings. The Tuscan garden is modeled after the Villa Gamberia in Florence, Italy. The Tuscan Garden features landscaped terraces, formal water elements and topiaries period plantings. The Chinese Scholar Garden is one only two authentic Chinese Scholar Gardens in the United States. The garden features magnificent rockery bamboo foot path, waterfalls & Koi-pond.

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!

The Historic Grain House Restaurant built in 1768 is perfect for intimate rustic style weddings! This unique space features cocktail hour in the Fox & Hounds Room overlooking the riverside lawn and receptions in our Hunt Room complete with cozy fireplace, large built in bar, and seasonal tented patio! We are a true “Wedding Weekend” destination with hotel rooms at the Olde Mill Inn hotel on property and spaces to host your guests from Rehearsal Dinner straight through to your Post Nuptial Breakfast. Everything in between, from complimentary Bridal Lounge to After Party, is also available!

Where do I even begin? We got married at the Grain House at the Olde Mill Inn on May 23, 2024, and it was nothing short of perfect. The entire wedding planning process was made easy thanks to everyone at the OldMill Inn and Grain House. They are very responsive, which is crucial when planning a wedding. My grandmother and grandfather had their wedding reception here back in 1957, so I knew I wanted to meet with them to discuss having my wedding there. It was the first and only venue we met with. After going on a tour and discussing the different packages with Lea, I was sold. They take care of your accommodations, catering, bar, cake, tables, chairs, etc. My wedding planning “to-do” list was cut in half! Everyone is so accommodating and they really work with you to make sure your day goes perfectly. So many guests told us how they never experienced wedding food to this level. Everything was DELICIOUS! Better yet, we actually got to eat as the bride and groom. The property itself is gorgeous. John was our Matre d’ and he was the best! He made sure we stayed on time, he ran food from the cocktail hour to me and my husband when we were taking photos, and he coordinated with our vendors so we didn’t have to worry. His efforts did not go unnoticed. Once again I had guests come up to me and tell me how amazing he is. I also had guests reach out after to tell me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. All of our vendors were fantastic but the Old Mill Inn and Grain House really did the bulk of the work to make it an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself was wonderful to stay in, everything was so clean and the breakfast was delicious. I wouldn’t change a thing about my wedding day, everything was perfect and I really have the Old Mill Inn and the Grain House to thank for that. I would recommend the Old Mill Inn and the GrainHouse to anyone planning a wedding. It really is the ONLY choice in my opinion. You will not be disappointed.

Picture-Perfect. Modern. Sprawling Views. Incredible Sunsets. Indoor-Outdoor space for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Oversized Dance Floor. Large floor-to-ceiling windows. You will love Brooklake!

I am beyond satisfied with my wedding experience with Brooklake Country Club. We worked with Wendy and for 18 months, she guided us with her expertise and professionalism every step of the way. I could always rely on her to get back to us right away and do whatever was necessary to make our day memorable. The venue only hosts one event at a time, so on the day of your event, the entire staff is working tirelessly to make YOUR day run as smoothly as possible. On the day of my wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing. My bridal attendant, Michelle, was absolutely phenomenal. From morning until night, she was there to make my experience so much easier so that I could truly enjoy every minute of the experience. Along with Wendy, our Maitre D Natalia kept the day running without a misstep. My parents raved about the level of service they received at their table, and all my guests complimented me on the quality of food served. The venue has breathtaking views that are perfect for pictures and can be enjoyed from anywhere on the grounds. I would absolutely recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a wedding or event there. Not only is it beautiful, but the staff are caring and efficient as well.

Just a quick walk away from the 45th street R train, our taproom is a fantastic venue for weddings, after parties and engagement parties. Our bar offers locally made craft beer, wine, and NA beverages. As we have a New York State Liquor license, we are happy to accommodate cocktails by request and work out a beverage plan that works best for our patrons. Our taproom features 2,500 square feet of usable event space, perfect for a wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, welcome cocktail hour, bridal shower, engagement party or bachelor/bachelorette party. Our event team is happy to work with any prospects to help plan an unforgettable party experience. We currently do not provide food service on site, but would happily aid any patron with finding high quality catering in the area.

We held our wedding reception at Five Boroughs Brewery in October 2023, and we couldn't have been happier! We opted for a combination of seated and standing for our 65 guests, designating the long banquet tables for our families to gather, and the high-top tables for our friends to mix and mingle. There was space in the center of the room for speeches, a musical performance, and reciting our vows before inviting everyone onto the dance floor. Our guests loved the Five Boroughs beers on tap, and they also offered wines and cider, as well as seltzer for non-drinkers. We had catered appetizer platters set up along the wall, and a food truck parked outside. There's also a ramp entrance, which was very helpful for my 93-year-old grandmother. The ambiance in the taproom was warm, intimate, and beautiful even with us opting for very minimal additional decor. The staff was kind, communicative, and helpful every step of the way--the care they took to ensure our wedding went perfectly was really evident. Our Five Boroughs wedding was joyful, intimate, and personal.

Crystal Plaza 

5.0

Livingston, NJ
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $40,000

Before it became our beloved event venue, the historic Crystal Plaza was originally a residential mansion. The initial Livingston, New Jersey-based residence was built in the late 1800s by famed architect Stanford White, who was responsible for designing the Tiffany building on Fifth Avenue, the original Madison Square Garden complex among other landmark structures. While the restored building has since been reincarnated as one of the leading wedding and event spaces in the tri-state area, it still maintains the feeling of its 19th century grandeur. Our impeccable, white-glove service begins the moment you arrive. Crystal Plaza hosts only one event at a time, ensuring that our dedicated team focuses singularly on you and your every need. From the elegant Grand Ballroom boasting numerous chandeliers (how the Crystal Plaza name came to be) to the lush gardens that change beautifully with the seasons, there are myriad backdrops to complement your wedding, social affair or corporate event.

The wedding was an absolute dream! Everything was fantastic, everyone was really great to work with. They made everything so wonderful and so easy. At no point that day did I feel stressed or worried about anything going wrong, my husband and I felt we were in good hands the entire day. Everything flowed so smoothly, and the staff went above and beyond what we expected. For all his bristling, my dad had an amazing time and could not stop gushing about how professional and classy everyone was. Back when I booked, they told me, "Welcome to the Crystal Plaza family!" I used to think that was just a cutesy line, but after the way everyone treated us and handled that day, I get it. We felt they really did treat us like family, and it felt like everyone was not just happy to help but excited to celebrate with us, too. Due to some unforeseen global events (not the pandemic), our guest count ended up being notably below the minimum. The team worked with us to come up with a solution, and on the day of the wedding, they surprised us by upgrading the dessert: they made the whole cocktail room into huge Viennese dessert stations. Everyone was completely floored; it was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. My goal was to have a wedding no one would ever forget, and we met that goal 100%. I wish weddings were the type of event one could do multiple times because we would absolutely come back again and again.
