My wedding party ran late with getting ready which delayed so many things, but the Maître d’, Phil, made sure everything ran smoothly once we got to Westbury. He offered solutions for the timing of each portion of the reception and what I expected to be a stressful day ended up being the best day ever. And our bridal attendant, Dilcia, was so nice! She made sure I was fed and hydrated, that I changed my dress, and just her presence was enough to keep me calm. I cannot thank them enough for making this day one of the best of my life so far. They were a blessing to have.

They become more than just people at a venue- they become friends/ family. They are absolutely amazing. From the planning- to arriving the day of they made sure every single detail was over the top perfect. The people waiters/ chefs who work at the venue are amazing. Everyone was extremely nice and professional. The venue itself is amazing. Having everything on 1 floor was perfect. We have been told from every person how amazing the food was. The bar serving was exceptional no one ever was standing on line at the bar and there was 200 people in the room. If you want anyone running a wedding for you it’s Barry and Amy.

We got married at Engineers Country Club on 9/21/24, and it was the best day of our lives. Ben and his team went above and beyond, and provided exceptional service. From our very first tour, to our wedding day, and all of the planning in between, Ben and his staff were an absolute pleasure to work with. We had never been to ECC before, so we solely chose the venue based on our first impression, and it was the best decision we could've made. The property is stunning. The inside is beautiful, bright, recently renovated, and clean. Ben was always quick to respond to emails and always made himself available to answer any questions we had (and we had a lot!). He was beyond accommodating, patient, and did everything with our best interest in mind. We want to thank Ben and his staff for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. They made sure everything remained on schedule per our timeline and every single thing went perfectly! You always hear people say that something is bound to go wrong on your wedding day, but we can't relate. Vicki, my bridal attendant, was also a dream come true. She was my shadow throughout the entire day and night. She is so incredibly sweet and cared so much about making sure I had what I needed at all times. She took photos and videos on my iPhone throughout the day and night, so we have so much awesome content to hold us over until we get the professionals back. The food was endless and delicious. People are still raving about our cocktail hour and the sushi. We could go on and on, but we'll leave it with this: If we had the chance to redo our wedding, we wouldn't change a thing. THANK YOU BEN, VICKI, AND TEAM, FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING DAY SO SPECIAL AND PERFECT.

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!!

On-site ceremonies can be held indoors in our private Chapel, outdoor at our Rooftop Wedding Pergola, or one of our three lush garden settings.

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was booking Terrace On The Park! From our very first visit and up until our big day, they were super accommodating, responsive and very organized. We’re an international couple, that was looking for an affordable, large rooftop venue that could accommodate 140 guests. The TOTP team were thorough in explaining the contracts, allowed us as many venue visits as we wished and on the day of, provided white glove service! While it rained on our big day and plans needed to change, it was all done seamlessly. They provided a small buffet of fruit, salads, and drinks in the bridal suite while we waited for our pre-ceremony photoshoot to start and the guests to arrive. The food was amazing! We’re so glad we added in the sushi platter during the cocktail hour, the amuse bouche during dinner, (the lemon sorbet was delicious) and our signature cocktail (Lavender Gin Lemonade)! Our guests are still raving about how amazing the service, food, and drinks were. We even hired ND Cigars for our cocktail hour, which added a touch of class to our event. We brought our own DJ from home, but hired a few of their preferred vendors, ACM Event Group (equipment rental & MC) and Tino Photography, for which they were all a pleasure to work with! Just a few of the amazing staff we had the opportunity to work with at TOTP are: Ken Weintraub – Event Manager Nicole Barroca – Finalist Manager Jovanna Trapani – Operations Allison – Bridal Attendant PS... The morning after our wedding we met a couple staying at our hotel that also got married at Terrace On The Park, 41 years ago!!! I never thought I could feel even more secure about the decision to book them, but I did! They too raved about how good the venue was all those years ago!! BOOK THEM NOW! You won’t regret it!
