About This Vendor
A New York State of Mind With a French Twist

This medieval-esque, French-inspired haven was built in 1912 and is a slice of European elegance in the heart of the US. This majestic mansion is the ideal location for a memorable occasion. Modeled on the style of classic French chateaux, this 80,000 square-foot fairy tale is situated in Suffolk County Parks. The Chateau Coindre Hall is a part of the renowned Lessing’s Hospitality Group. This intergenerational family-owned enterprise is the definition of American innovation and excellent customer service. It is no surprise then, that this venue offers newlyweds an idyllic backdrop complete with stellar hospitality.

These include a rust-red roof, arched window awnings, and two large conical towers framing the main entrance. The building is a National Historic Landmark. The ambiance and architecture have the power to transport guests through land and time to the Loire Valley. The grand ballroom features polished wooden floors, a voile-draped ceiling, and elegant light settings. Round tables and gold Chiavari chairs complete the elegant aesthetic. The outdoor cocktail area is reached via classic French-style doors and windows. Guests can enjoy drinks and nibbles on the terrace while taking in the scenic surroundings. Picturesque views of Huntington Harbor can be seen from this vantage point. Receptions can be held outdoors amidst nature if desired by to-be-weds. This venue boasts numerous beauty spots for capturing unique photographs. Couples and their wedding parties can use the preparation suites throughout their event. Couples can exchange vows inside The Chateau Coindre Hall, or on the scenic lawns overlooking the waterfront. The dedicated team can accommodate receptions for up to 200 of your closest loved ones.

Coindre Hall is a hidden gem! The location is beautiful, the food is fantastic (so many rave reviews from our guests), and the ambiance is amazing! John was so great to work with. He's attentive, responds quickly to any questions, and is flexible with the timeline. This is clearly not his first rodeo! He has been with Lessing's for over 20 years, and it shows. Many people skip this location because the dance floor is separate from the dining, but they are right next to each other, and many people like how they can sit and have a conversation if they want to without music blasting in their ears. Definitely, a venue that is a must-see!

10/10.Coindre Hall and the Maitre d', John, were extremely helpful in the planning process due to us living 1800 miles away but this is a hometown venue for both of us. John was able to help walk us through just about anything we were unsure about and make awesome recommendations. He was a blessing to work with. Our wedding went off without a hitch - from the beautiful ceremony, AWESOME food, and service across the board, we do not have one negative thing to say. If you're on the fence, just go for it!!

My daughters wedding was held at Coindre Hall this September. I have only RAVE reviews to give. Aside from the fact that the venue has that \"WOW\" factor when first approaching it, the inside is just as magnificent. Working with the staff, especially the maitre d, John, was an absolutely magnificent experience. He was reasonable, understanding, and compassionate to the needs of my highly emotional daughter. I can't say enough about the amazing experience we had with Chateau at Coindre Hall.

Wow! Where do I even begin? Choosing Coindre Hall as our wedding venue was the absolute best decision we ever made and we would choose it time and time again. It is simply stunning inside and out with an elegance and historic charm unmatched by any venue in the area, especially for the great price. Where do I begin to thank John Schlenke? He is a superior, competent, caring and devoted Maître d', event coordinator, planner, tour-guide, hype-man, visionary and quite frankly a magician!! He took our vision and ran with it - he combined his years of expertise and event planning - and grew the party into what we had always dreamed about. It was a fairytale!! And quite frankly went off without at hitch. We owe the success of the entire day and a years worth of planning to him. He is the definition of above and beyond!! Something we enjoyed was seeing how personal every wedding set-up was and how John transformed the space into a unique set-up matching the bride and groom to a T. We were able to visit the venue over the year leading up to our wedding for meetings, etc. and John was always setting up an event and we would just marvel at this creativity and love how different each and every wedding looked! At our wedding, he allowed us to go early, he unloaded our car, he created a donut wall, we even saw him running food from the kitchen to the Asian station during cocktail hour...he was always doing anything and everything! We felt he and the staff really cared about the success of our day and cared about us and we felt that was special. To connect on a personal level really moved us and was really something we had to share. The day was incredible and we owe it all to John, the staff and the beautiful venue at Coindre Hall. Highly recommend for your wedding!

My wife and I just recently got married at Coindre Hall and everything was absolutely perfect. From the minute we rolled up for our first tour to the end of our wedding night John and the rest of the staff were attentive, kind, and helpful in making sure that our wedding went off without a hitch. We were very lucky to be able to have our wedding outdoors since the weather cooperated with us, but their indoor option is also beautiful. We booked the complete wedding package which includes all the necessary vendors(photographer, DJ, florist, cake, transportation, and of course food/venue/staff). Having all the vendors packaged into a single payment made to the venue made our planning really easy and all the included vendors were friendly, communicative, and did GREAT work!Our guests RAVED about the food(which was delicious) and the signature cocktails were an absolute hit! John and their staff made sure that we ate in between running around to greet our guests/make sure all the many events of the day were done. We loved that the dance floor was separate from the dining space because it really encouraged a party space with a nice little getaway to sip your cocktail/have a chat with a friend. Our guests really took advantage of the gorgeous grounds to get tons of selfies. We brought personal touches to decorate the space, but it's so gorgeous on it's own that you really don't need to do much. As an LGTBQ couple it was important to us to find a venue that really celebrated who we are as a couple, and Coindre Hall did just that. I would HIGHLY recommend for any other couples in the gay rainbow!Honestly at this point I'm telling anyone who's getting married to do it there so I can have a reason to go back as a guest! It was absolutely magical, a truly perfect day.

Our wedding day felt like an actual fairytale. Coindre Hall is such a beautiful location, and feels timeless and romantic. We were able to arrive early enough before the ceremony to get settled, take all of our staged photos (highly recommend a first look in the courtyard!), and still have a little time to relax. John and George were wonderful to work with- they kept everything running smoothly, and were so kind and supportive. The day of our wedding there was a chance of rain, and John was ready to set up either the indoor or outdoor ceremony space at a moment’s notice. We ultimately had our ceremony inside, and even though I had wanted to be outside, the indoor space was so beautiful that I didn’t even mind. The food (Mirabelle catering) was delicious- many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food, which is one of the most important factors at a wedding reception. Overall, our wedding was absolutely perfect!

We had the perfect wedding at Coindre hall this past June! My husband and I fell in love with the venue at our first tour. We found the character and charm unmatched compared to other more traditional wedding venues we looked at. We loved the layout and the flexibility of the different rooms. We also were able to have our dog stay the whole reception in a room in the front which was a major selling point for us. The planning process was very smooth and communication with John the Maitre d was exceptional. John went above and beyond to make sure the day was just as we envisioned. He is amazing at his job and you an tell how much he truly cares about making the day perfect. Our guests raved about the venue and how unique it was. We highly recommend Coindre Hall!!

I do not have the words to explain how amazing our experience with Coindre Hall was. This was the only wedding venue we looked at and we knew it was for us. From the months leading up to the wedding up through and even after the wedding, the level of help and guidance provided by John was impeccable. He would answer all questions and reassure us throughout the process. The package deal was an amazing option which got rid of any headaches in finding vendors. All the vendors that were part of the package deal were also great and easy to work with and super experienced in handling weddings at Coindre Hall. The food was also great and as a picky eater myself, I was happy to have so many options to choose from between cocktail hour and the main entree. The separate rooms worked out great for wedding guests who did not want to dance or were hard of hearing. Our actual wedding reception was like a dream. John and the whole Coindre Hall staff were lovely and diligent in making sure our special day truly was special. I would highly recommend Coindre Hall to anyone who wants a beautiful story book wedding!

Where do we start? From the moment we set foot in the foyer, we knew Coindre Hall was IT. Yes, it’s a Lessing’s venue, aka a very well-known hospitality group across the Island. And, yes, we ended up selecting their “all-inclusive” wedding package, but our experience was far from “cookie cutter.” From the moment we walked in, John greeted us with a smile and enthusiasm, and his attention to detail and his knowledge of the property and how to run our event from top to bottom are unmatched. First, we loved that we got to get married in such a beautiful, romantic, historic waterfront venue – Coindre Hall truly is a hidden gem and I’m so surprised people don’t know about it or haven’t been to more events here. The venue also offers you the opportunity to have your ceremony and reception on premises, indoors or outdoors, and only hosts one event at a time, so you will never be short-changed when it comes to service and attention. Second, we know some people don’t love that the venue is broken up into several different spaces, particularly the dance floor being in a separate room from the dining tables, but boy did this work out LIKE A DREAM! We could dance our hearts out AND hear our guests and ourselves when we talked. It was so nice to take a breather from dancing with some peace and quiet. Yet, you could still hear any and every announcement our MC made all night long. Finally, the food and service were truly outstanding! The food preparation is done/overseen by the same chef as the Three Village Inn (hint: if you want to do a “tasting,” go have lunch or a date night there!) and WOW! Everything was DELICIOUS! We served a wide variety of dishes between cocktail hour and the reception and everything was so flavorful and prepared to perfection. The real stars here were John and the Coindre Hall staff! Even two weeks later, we have people telling, texting, and posting about how much fun they had and telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. We are thrilled with the choice we made with Coindre Hall!

Coindre Hall was the perfect wedding venue. This venue has impressive history built into it and is vastly different than the catering halls on Long Island. Having the dancing separate from dinner was perfect. Cocktail hour was spectacular. John puts his heart and soul into this, as well as the rest of the staff. John was extremely helpful and really takes the time to make sure your wedding is everything you dreamed of. We had a December wedding and the mansion was so beautiful decorated for the Holidays and had such an old world charm that is so unique. We had a piano player at cocktail hour and a live painter. I could never imagine getting married anywhere but Coindre Hall. John and Team - thank you for the wedding of my dreams.

How long do you need to prepare for your wedding? If you have John and his team, you only need one month! Can you believe it?! We just had our wedding last weekend and it was so beautiful…the service was magical! Chateau at Coindre Hall reminds us of Disney worlds’ Cinderella’s castle at first sight! It’s unique style and real historical elements just adds so much more character to our story! We and the venue are so lucky to have the Maitre d’ John, who’s so caring, personable and calming. John and the staff were vital in our successful wedding and the reason we were able to stay calm. John’s expertise and genuine thoughtfulness was consistent. He gave us many planning tips & insightful inspiration. He has great aesthetic taste and was very organized, so John was always on top of the planning process. And on the big day, he and the staff helped us a lot by maintaining our guests and coordinating events. We got tons of compliments on how smooth and intimate the wedding was. There was no rush, no pause, and the day went by so quickly. The food at our wedding day was delicious! We loved all our selections (bacon scallops, sushi station, roast chicken, lamp chop, duck breast, sea bass and more) and wish we could devoured more if not in our fitted gowns and tuxedo. The chefs designed each dishes well, which made it even more memorable. Thank you John and the rolling pin bakery for helping us creating our dream cake that we’ve always wanted. Schedule a visit and you will love it!

Perfect wedding of my dreams! I couldn't have asked for anything better! My husband and I got married at Chateau at Coindre Hall in August 2022. The mansion itself is beautiful and unique, definitely different from other more typical wedding venues, and I had so many guests tell me how memorable my wedding was. The food is absolutely delicious, for both appetizers and main dishes. I had a few guests that had to take the main dishes to go, since they filled up too hard on the excellent appetizers. As for the actual event, trust me when I say that maitre d' John will take care of you. He will call your wedding \"his wedding,\" and he will treat it that way. He will make sure everything runs smoothly. If you're clueless about weddings (like me), he will guide you AND your entire wedding party through it. It will give you a peace of mind to be able to relax, knowing that John is running your wedding. On my wedding day, my florist forgot to drop off flower petals for my 4 flower girls. We found this out about an hour before the ceremony. John casually said, \"Don't worry about it,\" and I still have no idea how, but he had procured flower petals somewhere for my flower girls! John will make sure that the bride and groom gets to eat, rest, and have a great time. As a bride, I was getting way too stressed out during the wedding planning process that I wasn't sure if I would have a good time at the wedding. I can now say that my wedding day was the best day of my life!

He quickly responded to each and every email and phone call to help create our perfect day. We had some people drop last minute due to COVID and he was very flexible with meeting our minimum. I really wanted to get married outside. It was drizzling and raining on and off as we were trying to take pictures before the ceremony. John went above and beyond and set up both inside and outside so that we could have a backup plan if needed. The weather ended up holding out during the ceremony!! There were some decorations I did not love at the venue and John moved/got rid of whatever I wanted. He was so helpful and did a great job adding the decorations I had around the venue. All of our guests ranted about the food. My family is very picky, but they all had nothing but great things to say! We booked when they still had their old menu. They changed menus before we got married and gave us the choice between the two. We went with the old menu since we felt it had better options and gave us more food during the cocktail hour. I am a vegetarian and John tried to be accommodating. However, I was extremely disappointed in the vegetarian entree that was served. I picked the cauliflower steak as the vegetarian option, but it was just roasted cauliflower with the sides! Myself and my vegetarian guests ended up just getting a plate full of veggies for dinner. It was not an actual entree for any night, especially a wedding. We were assured the chefs had experience with vegetarian and even vegan guests.I was embarrassed that my vegetarian guests were served that at my wedding.We added on an Asian Station during the cocktail hour and the food was to die for! Everyone loved it so much. It was definitely worth adding. We also added a Churro Exit Station. We were very upset and do NOT recommend adding this station. The churros tasted good but my parents saw the man running the station on his cell phone. This is unacceptable. We paid extra for this station and he was on his phone and not advertising it to guests as they were leaving. My parents saw guests walk past him without knowing we had churros and my parents had to tell guests about it. Had they not been there at that time, those guests would have left without receiving a churro. Also, when he was not on his cell phone my husband & I saw him just standing there and again not saying anything to the guests as they walked past him. He should have let the guests know what was being served. We paid extra for this station and many guests walked right past him and left without knowing about the churros.

My husband and I had our dream wedding there. I have always loved the location as I grew up in Huntington, in person it’s incredible. I love the horse shoe shape and the separated ballrooms for dining and dancing. It made conversation much easier without sacrificing the party atmosphere. My guests raved about the food (highly recommend the swordfish and duck breast). The wedding package Lessing’s offer was a life saver as we planned in about 9 months. At the heart of this is John and his staff. He is incredibly attentive and really listens. We had a lot of ideas including lawn games, having craft beer kegs delivered, and mochi donuts; John helped us nail all those details. He made suggestions that made the day smooth, and was thoughtful. He even brought my husband pie instead of cake because John remembered we mentioned that he doesn’t like cake. John is great at communication, acts as your day of coordinator, and really was the catalyst that made our day so incredible.

My husband and I had our wedding at Coindre Hall a couple of weeks ago. John, the maitre'd was beyond exceptional. A year ago, we were already excited but anxious about everything going well. We were assured then, and reassured over and over again leading up to our big day, that it was going to be perfect. Perfect is not the word - this truly, was the best day of our lives and it wouldn't have run so smoothly without John. Coindre Hall is a stunning venue and I highly recommend it if you are interested in an old world, naturally beautiful castle, with tons of character. Coindre is a special place to us, growing up and living on Long Island, and for our guests as well. Everyone said that the venue, service, as well as the food provided by Lessings, was the best they've experienced. I can go on and on but I must thank John most of all!!!! Thank you for giving us the most beautiful, memorable night of our lives!With love,The Newlyweds!

We had the most perfect wedding at Coindre Hall! We had our wedding in August 2021- we were looking for a venue that was unique and wasn't a typical country club or banquet hall, but that was also still affordable for Long Island. We loved the idea of an old mansion / castle type of venue. Coindre Hall is a hidden gem! A huge part of why our wedding day was so perfect was because of John, the maître d'- he truly goes above and beyond. We live in Boston, so John was super flexible about working with our schedules during the wedding planning, and he allowed us to come see the venue with family multiple times before our wedding day, always patiently answering all of our questions and talking us through everything. He was always super responsive over email as well. The day of the wedding, the weather was touch and go, but John allowed us to make the final call to have the ceremony outdoors, and it thankfully ended up being perfect. And if the dancing and dining being in different rooms during the reception makes you worried that no one will dance- don't worry! John and our band were excellent about ushering people into the dancing room. Coindre Hall is run by Lessings, so the food and service was excellent as well. You are in amazing hands with John and the Coindre Hall staff!

The food was absolutely incredible as well!Mirabelle restaurant is the caterer for the venue and everything we ate was perfection. Guests were so so happy with the food and service. I can't thank John enough! As for the venue itself, who doesn't want to get married in a French chateau? You get the whole venue to yourself and guests can wander through the many rooms and both floors, as well as go outside. And the best part-they are dog friendly and our two dogs were able to stay upstairs in the bridal suite after the ceremony! We loved everything about Coindre Hall and highly recommend it!

My husband and I had our wedding at Coindre Hall on 11/2/19. It went as smoothly as I could have ever imagine, which was in large part to the amazing Lessings team at Coindre Hall! When we first went to see it when choosing venues we met with Dan who was knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to book during the off season and got an amazing deal that was a very reasonable price and included so many great local vendors. Then once we booked and got to planning, we worked with John who walked us through everything ahead of time. I cannot express in words just how great John Schlenke and his team were, both before and during. Everyone was lovely, helpful, and flexible. The day of John and George ran things to perfection. They not only were able to accommodate all our requests, but they were able to anticipate all our needs which really helped to keep everything moving along. Even though it was a little cold, because it was still nice weather, we choose to have our ceremony out front of the building. I really appreciate that they let me decide that morning if we would have the ceremony inside or outside. It took of the pressure of having to make plans in advance and worry about weather. The ceremony was beautiful and they literally rolled out the white carpet. The reception was equally lovely. Everything about the venue is beautiful and classy, so we didn't need to add too much additional decoration, just some extra flowers and pictures on the mantles. Lessings doesn't do what I think of as a traditional catering tasting, they have these group events that you can attend, so I was a bit nervous about the food since I didn't get to taste it all. That being said, the food was really good and more than abundant (as was the alcohol!). Also, we had several guests with dietary restrictions, and since all the food is made to order they are able to accommodate all requests. Overall the Lessings team at Coindre Hall did an amazing job and I would absolutely recommend this venue!

Our wedding was near Christmas and the hall was decorated beautifully. The food was great and everyone was so impressed by the uniqueness of the venue.

John Schlenke and his staff members are the absolute best. They truly made our wedding amazing and it was absolutely flawless. At the end of the night, our guests were asking how we found the venue and were raving about everything from the venue to the food to the courteous staff members! We chose this location because it was so unique and we were sold once John took us on a tour of the place. We had the entire place to ourselves and it was really spacious. We loved the history behind it and we were going for a unique/vintage/elegant feel so this place was perfect for us. We opted for the wedding package and were so incredibly pleased with all the vendors. We worked with Amanda from Village Florists, AJ from Absolute Entertainment, Pat from Mark of Elegance, John from Park Ave Studio and Rolling Pin Bakery. The flowers were created exactly as we envisioned, the music playlist had everyone dancing on the dance floor all night long, the limo driver was very punctual and friendly, the photographer was incredibly professional and knew of all the right places to take pictures, and the cake was beautifully made and tasted delicious. I can’t thank everyone enough! This is the first time I have ever given an online review. Our wedding was two days ago and I just felt the need to write a review to share my experience with all the newly engaged couples out there looking for a venue in Long Island. I will just say that John helped us so much and took so much weight off of our shoulders. He truly made this wedding happen and this experience would have been totally different without him by our side. I would highly highly highly recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you to John and his team!

I just had my wedding here on 11/10/19. I wish everyone could get married here and have the experience I did. First off, the place is insanely gorgeous on its own. But the staff doesn't let the place speak for itself, the care and love they put into making Coindre Hall shine is amazing. Getting married in the fall we weren't sure if we could have an outdoor ceremony, last minute we did and the employees were out there leaf blowing away to make it perfect. If the seperate dancing and dining makes you nervous (I cerainly was) don't worry! I got so many compliments on how nice it was to have a quite place to relax and the dance floor was still PACKED all night. Second, the food was amazing. I have very picky family and they are still telling me how good the food was. Saving the best for last, John our maitre d'. After reading all the glowing reviews of John I thought i knew what to expect but he blew us away. He went above and beyond what we could have imagined. He was everywhere. My FIL was ill and needed to sit often, he was joking that John must have pulled chairs out of his pocket because he always had a place for him to sit. I can't express how happy we are that he was part of our day. He took all the stress and guess work out of it, the day went smoother than I could have imagined. My now husband is very hard to impress, and he is still raving over how great John is. You are in amazing hands.

Coindre Hall was recommended to us by a close friend who had attended a wedding there- she said it’s worth checking out. We made an appointment to see it and instantly knew this was the place for us. Since we chose 11/23 to get married it was considered off season and we were able to sign up for a package that included the DJ, florist, photographer, limo and wedding cake. The stress of finding vendors was gone!The hall itself is exquisite. It’s natural decor is enough for all of your photos. And the staff is incredible. Every single person who works there made sure we had the most perfect day. John Schlenke was the main person we worked with there and he was so kind, helpful and accommodating. We added last minute changes to our contract and he made them all with no questions asked. From the moment we walked through the door on wedding day he was by our side guiding us to the next step. George was his assistant and he was also so kind and helpful. I don’t know what we would have done without this team. They were everything we needed and made sure everything was perfect. I will be recommending Coindre Hall to anyone I can! I’m still getting calls 2 days later telling me what an amazing wedding it was- the food and atmosphere were great. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Coindre Hall was recommended to us by a close friend who had attended a wedding there- she said it’s worth checking out. We made an appointment to see it and instantly knew this was the place for us. Since we chose 11/23 to get married it was considered off season and we were able to sign up for a package that included the DJ, florist, photographer, limo and wedding cake. The stress of finding vendors was gone!The hall itself is exquisite. It’s natural decor is enough for all of your photos. And the staff is incredible. Every single person who works there made sure we had the most perfect day. John Schlenke was the main person we worked with there and he was so kind, helpful and accommodating. We added last minute changes to our contract and he made them all with no questions asked. From the moment we walked through the door on wedding day he was by our side guiding us to the next step. George was his assistant and he was also so kind and helpful. I don’t know what we would have done without this team. They were everything we needed and made sure everything was perfect. I will be recommending Coindre Hall to anyone I can! I’m still getting calls 2 days later telling me what an amazing wedding it was- the food and atmosphere were great. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Father of the Bride here:The Chateau at Coindre Hall was the venue for the wedding of our third daughter. Her sisters were married in top tier reception halls here on Long Island, so we are a fairly informed family. Everything about this wedding was superb. Months - I mean two and three months after the event - friends still tell me it was the best wedding they ever attended. Food was excellent. The steaks rivaled steakhouse meals. The setting provided us with warmth and intimacy, while also allowing for us to have a high-energy celebration. Our host, John, was attentive to our needs right from our first visit. I highly recommend this venue. No more children to marry off, but I wonder if John would like to handle our fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration...

At our first meeting at Coindre Hall, my fiancé and I were pleasantly surprised to learn that John, the person in charge of showing us around the venue and explaining to us the details of the wedding packages, would also serve to be our maître d’ at the actual reception. Looking back, that was the first of many indications of the high level of attention and service we would receive at Coindre Hall. Not only is Coindre Hall an enchanting venue, which takes you back in time to a beautiful era on the Gold Coast of Long Island, it is an exclusive one, which means, one wedding party per day. It is a wonderful feeling to walk into a venue at the start of your wedding reception and feel like you own the place—and that was my experience at Coindre Hall. You would be hard pressed to find, on Long Island or really anywhere, another exclusive venue in the same price range. Throughout the process leading up to our wedding, John showed us the utmost attention in answering questions and resolving every aspect of the wedding reception plans. In John, we found the consummate professional and someone who truly cared about making our special day the best it could be. John was even able to do some additional landscaping around the venue, at my request. Do I need to say more?! Oh yes, the food—excellent variety and delicious! Simply put, if you are looking for superlative service and attention to detail; housed within a beautiful and intimate venue; look no further than Coindre Hall! You will not be disappointed!

Lessing's Hospitality Group catered our son's wedding on September 1, 2019 and it was fantastic! John Schlenke , Banquet Manager, was instrumental in pulling it all together. He was a very professional, informative and efficient manager who listened, offered advice and personally cared about the wants and happiness of the couple and parents. He met with us, the parents, and the bride and groom to give us the overview of the facility at our convenience. He spoke in detail to the bride and groom and asked them what they wanted on their big day. The entire affair was planned according to their wishes and turned out to be a unique and beautiful wedding! We highly recommend this facility and if possible to request John.

My daughter's wedding was held at Coindre Hall 9/28/19, and I only have wonderful things to say about it! The wedding coordinator, John Schlenke , was a dream come true! He was communicative, responsive, patient and accommodating. His thoughtful, quiet presence was exactly what a a bridal party and mother of the bride needs!! He had our backs throughout the entire day. When things were about to happen, such as the cutting of the cake, Jon was there to give me a heads up so I didn't miss a beat.The ceremony was held outside, in front of the castle. Guests were seated on the lawn and bride and groom and bridal party were in front of an enormous, graceful tree. The majestic castle is just lovely, with ample space to allow the party to flow from room to room. The band was in an attached yet separate room so conversations were easily heard in the dining room-genius idea! Lessings provided excellent, organized service with delicious food selections. It takes a lot for this fussy MOB to find something good enough for my daughter and this was truly magical.

We had a small wedding size (80 people) and it still felt cozy - i'm sure it will feel the same with a party of 150 people. The best part of Coindre Hall is John Schlenke and his team. John worked tirelessly to ensure our day went smoothly. You can tell he truly loves his job and cares for each couple that is getting married at Coindre Hall. Our day would not have been the same without him. Thank you John!!

John Schlenke gave us our perfect, fairy tale wedding. I could not have asked for a more perfect experience. From 10pm phone calls when we were panicking about little details, to going over every step, being handheld, to ensure that our big day was literally perfect. The venue itself is the most unique place I've seen for a wedding- the moment we walked through this place, we immediately knew we had to be married here. John and George were attentive, made sure that our every whim was taken care of with white glove service. He ensured we had time to eat, time to take in the little moments in the hectic whirlwind of the day. The food was amazing. We got to try the duck, the steak, and the shrimp and I don't know which one was my favorite because they were all fantastic.

Coindre Hall is a Lessing’s Venue catered by Mirabelle, and the outstanding reputation was proven true for our wedding! This was the only venue that my husband and I physically toured and we immediately booked right on the spot! Prior to touring, we reached out to several venues throughout NYC and LI and we either didn’t get a response or the details we received didn’t match our criteria. Within minutes after reaching out to Coindre Hall, we received a response! The second we walked in, we fell in love with the venue. \tWe loved the fact that it feels like home, and the history behind it! Coindre Hall only allows one event per day which is a huge plus. Our guests also loved being able to explore the entire venue throughout the entire reception and they really loved that the dancing is separate from the dining room! \tPart of our criteria during our venue hunt, was being able to have our dog with us during the wedding and Coindre Hall allowed that! \tMy husband and I were able to book the very last day of their off season all inclusive wedding package. The package includes: a discounted rate per head for the first 100 guests, photography, florist, cake, limo and DJ. We also had the ability to opt out of any of the vendors (we chose not to opt out of any) and we were also able to upgrade any of the vendor packages (we upgraded a few). There are several perks of going with the vendors in the package: all of the vendors know each other, so they all worked well together to make our day amazing, and we also didn’t have to pay extra for any vendor meals.\tFor couples booked at Coindre Hall, there is a showcase (I believe it happens twice a year). The showcase is a great opportunity to tour around the venue after booking, meet the preferred vendors and have the menu tasting! \tWe had our ceremony on site. All of our guests arrived prior to our ceremony start time, so we began earlier than expected which allowed us to have an extended cocktail hour!\tJohn, the maitre d is absolutely amazing. He has been in the business for years and was such an absolute pleasure to work with. It’s clear that he loves what he does! He went above and beyond for not only my husband and I, but my entire family. He constantly made sure that we were having a good time and eating!\tOur guests can’t stop raving about how beautiful and unique our venue was. For anyone hesitant about the separate dancing/ dining room, it worked out extremely well. We had cocktail tables set up in the room with dancing for anyone who wants to watch, but it was also a big plus for our guests to have the ability to let loose and have fun without feeling like they were on display. Our older guests also enjoyed being able to have conversations in the dining room without having to talk loudly over the music.

We chose Coindre Hall for it's beauty, vintage character, and affordable cost for a fully-catered and exclusive venue (only one event at a time!). During the daytime, it is beautiful and a touch quirky and rustic. We instantly loved the whole space, especially Cloisters and Courtyard, and we decided to have our smaller wedding reception in the Crystal Ballroom, which borders both. On our wedding day/night, the whole place looked truly magical. With tables set and candles glowing, and interior was gorgeous, and with sun setting outside, the exterior and courtyard twinkled with little lights. Our guests raved over how lovely and classy our wedding was. John Schlenke (maitre d) is super helpful, upbeat / always smiling, and flexible with plans. He went above and beyond to have stumps removed from the lawn outside, at my husband's request (wow, thanks again, John!). On the night of the wedding, he kept everything running smoothly and was very patient with us even though we were running late due to photos. The food is delicious: we recommend the quiche (homemade crust, delicious!) and the salmon and chicken (both moist and tender)! We had a blast at Coindre Hall and have wonderful wedding memories. <3

If you’re like me you have hit ‘the age’ when everyone around you is getting married. Summer-fall weekends are booked with engagement parties, bridal showers, and of course, weddings. Long Island is filled with Italian halls with views of the great South Bay. They are beautiful venues- don’t get me wrong! But when it came to my wedding I didn’t want it to blend in with all the others. My (very patient) fiancé and I had seen 11 venues before our appointment at Coindre Hall and they all seemed like all of the other local weddings I had been to (again, all beautiful- but the repetition was uninspiring). I was becoming gradually disappointed by the idea that if you want something different you have to pay a vastly higher price to get married out east at a vineyard, or in the city for something industrial, or just leave the island all together. Immediately upon entering Coindre Hall I knew I had found my venue. The grounds, the views, the freaking castle! Everything fell into place. We had our ceremony on the front lawn under the big central tree. Our florist draped white curtains and strands of flowers with twinkle lights intwined from the branches. It was perfect. Our guests raved about the romantic and historical feel inside the venue with views overlooking the harbor from the top of the hill. The food was outstanding and all of the staff treated us like you would hope to be treated on the best day of your life. We were pleasantly unsurprised by this since amazing customer service had been our experience since the beginning. John Schlenke, our maitre d’/wedding coordinator was by our side from the first meeting until the final moments of the reception. He couldn’t have been a better communicator/organizer/orchestrator/and fielder of every ball thrown by us or our (very loving but also very critical) mothers. I can’t say enough about his professionalism and genuine drive to deliver an incredible experience through and through. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and Coindre Hall was the heart of it all. We could not be happier, couldn’t recommend it more, and will certainly be back to visit and relive the memory of the day we became husband and wife. A couple of more things I want to touch on— 1. We weren’t thrilled with the food at the bridal showcase; but John ensured us that the day-of food would be perfect and he was 100% right. Our menu choices were the prime rib, duck, and salmon. They gave us one of each plate so we could try everything and all 3 dishes were fantastic. If you’re a food critic I can say with confidence you will be impressed!2. One aspect of Coindre Hall that bothered my mother-in-law and came up as questionable in some of the reviews I had read was the dancing room being in a separate space than the dining room. Let me tell you that there wasn’t a period of time that our dance floor wasn’t packed. If you have a dancing crowd you will have no trouble getting people out of their seats. It’s one thing hearing it from venue staff but another from someone who experienced it— it won’t be a problem. Rest assured!!So if you couldn’t already tell I’m a very happy bride who is in love with her wedding venue— all the best luck in becoming the same!! Xo

My husband and I got married at Coindre Hall this past July and I cannot say enough how it was the best day of our lives. A large part of that was due to the amazing experience John, his team and Coindre Hall provided. We decided to only do photos at the venue because it is that stunning, and the pictures and scenery provided a perfect backdrop to our love. There were lots of different spaces to take beautiful pictures, including the front of the chateau, as well as the stair case and courtyard which we used for our first look. John is the most professional and knowledgable Maitre D. He answered every question I had by email or otherwise and knew exactly how this uniquely set up venue would work for our guests. Our ceremony was on the main lawn under a beautiful tree on the property. It was our dream to get married under a tree, so I am very glad we were able to use that space. The venue has many spaces for cocktail hour, dinner and for dancing. We loved that you didn't get stuck into one big room, you were able to see the historic architecture while you enjoyed hot passed hors d'oeuvre. Our guests were easily moved from one space to another and were able to participate in all of the activities of the evening. The Chateau only has one event at a time and that made me feel better while planning for pictures and deliveries of flowers. We got married on the hottest day in New York this year and all of my guests felt very comfortable during our outdoor ceremony. John made sure guests had a drink as they were waiting for the ceremony to start. They felt comfortable and could not stop raving about the food and ambiance the venue brought. There was SO MUCH FOOD! All of it delicious. Our guests have not stopped talking about how wonderful and bountiful the food was. The menu options are elevated and elegant, making for a very classy event. We opted for a seafood bar heavy on oysters and John and his staff delivered. They were hand shucked to order! I loved that we got one of each entree, which my favorite was the duck. The bar was always well stocked and we even were able to have a signature cocktail, made specially for us. We also got an ice cream bar and my guests (all adults) were loving it. The line wrapped around the ballroom with people waiting for ice cream and various toppings included. Also there was cake and a Neapolitan stack of cookies and desserts. All of the events of the night ran smoothly and everyone was able to have the night of their lives! Anything I asked John for he delivered. If you want a show stopping wedding where all of your guests will be wowed by food and service, plus a gorgeous iconic place to get married than this Chateau is your place!

My husband and I got married at Coindre Hall this past July and I cannot say enough how it was the best day of our lives. A large part of that was due to the amazing experience John, his team and Coindre Hall provided. We decided to only do photos at the venue because it is that stunning, and the pictures and scenery provided a perfect backdrop to our love. There were lots of different spaces to take beautiful pictures, including the front of the chateau, as well as the stair case and courtyard which we used for our first look. John is the most professional and knowledgable Maitre D. He answered every question I had by email or otherwise and knew exactly how this uniquely set up venue would work for our guests. Our ceremony was on the main lawn under a beautiful tree on the property. It was our dream to get married under a tree, so I am very glad we were able to use that space. The venue has many spaces for cocktail hour, dinner and for dancing. We loved that you didn't get stuck into one big room, you were able to see the historic architecture while you enjoyed hot passed hors d'oeuvre.

We had our wedding here 11/10/18 and could not have asked for a more perfect night. We had around 165 guests and everyone fit comfortably. Our maitre d' John Schlenke was the most accommodating, easiest person to work with. We dropped off all of our decor a few days before and left it in his hands to set it up as he saw fit- and our venue looked gorgeous! He reassured us throughout the whole process and when our wedding day came along, it truly was stress free. Along with our captain George, he made sure we had drinks in our hands and actually sat down to eat some of our food! Our guests cannot stop raving about the expansive cocktail hour- there was SO much delicious food. We added a raw bar which was a huge hit. We chose two signature drinks and the bartenders made them exactly as we requested. The venue itself is gorgeous... it was too cold to take pictures outside (which was disappointing because the grounds are gorgeous) but luckily there were more than enough areas indoors to take pictures. Guests loved the unique layout. Our wedding was truly a dream and I wish we could do it all over again.

The Chateau at Coindre Hall was the most amazing, perfect and special wedding venue. The beautiful chateau is like a sophisticated, elegant, fairytale dream space. It's opulent, with a lovely and interesting layout, making use of the space in creative and special ways, and yet it remains a sense of intimacy. The food is just incredible and they have several bar points throughout the venue space to accommodate guests. Our guests were so well taken care of, and some even got a tour of the venue! I was an international bride, originally from NY and now living in London. Finding the right, special venue for our guests travelling internationally, and for local family and friends we don't often get to see was extremely important. Coindre Hall really delivers. And we have to say a huge thank you to John for everything he did to make our wedding day so, so special. It could not have gone any better and this is largely down to John and his team. The attention he gave to us as the bride and groom, our guests and the event itself was exceptional. There were so many little things that John did that really made a difference to us and the way he looked after us was amazing. Planning a wedding from overseas is challenging, but John never made it so. He is so responsive, professional and helpful, full of great suggestions and support. We can't recommend Coindre Hall enough. Meghan & Steve

They were even pretty good about working with us on price. Communication was great all the way up to the week before the wedding.

We were married at Coindre Hall over the summer and it was perfect. Our ceremony in front of the mansion gave guests a chance to enjoy the beautiful grounds before moving inside for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. The inside of the mansion is perfectly designed for a lovely flow allowing guests to explore from one room to the next as the evening unfolds. We loved that we were able to personalize the space with family photos and some of our own decorations. You could almost imagine what it would have been like to attend a party there in the 1920s. The food was excellent, and the chef was able to accommodate the bride's dietary restrictions without compromising on taste or creativity. In addition to being the perfect setting, Coindre Hall boasts a fantastic staff, particularly the maitre d' John. Throughout planning, John was always available to answer questions or provide some helpful guidance. On the big day he kept everything moving at a perfect pace and always made sure that we had something to eat and drink. We used the house preferred vendors and were extremely pleased with them. All of our guests told us that it was one of the best weddings they'd ever attended. We had an absolute ball and are so thankful we chose Coindre Hall. We could not imagine a more perfect day.

My wedding was June 2, 2018. I never wanted a typical hall for my wedding so when I saw the Chateau at Coindre Hall show up on my search for a venue in Long Island, I just had a feeling it was the place for me. When I met John, the Maitre D, at one of the showcases, he made me feel very at ease, and has a personality of just wanting to make the bride happy. I booked pretty quickly and was so happy that there was a Saturday available. Everything turned out perfect! My guests raved about the food and the authentic vibe. I had close to their limit, and was really worried about the dinner in one area and dancing in other, but everyone loved that part! Definitely book your wedding here, you will not regret it! Also their recommended vendors were top not notch too! I have nothing but great things to say about Bella flowers, party up productions, and selfie stick shot photo booth.

We had our wedding on 4/21/18 and were absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out. To start off, one of the best feelings in the world is being able to put your trust in the hands of others knowing that they won’t let you down (good marriage advice too!). Our Maitre’D John Schlenke was absolutely that person, I vividly remember my wife & I coming out of our menu choosing day w John blown away with his professionalism. John calls the weddings, “his wedding”, and he takes it as seriously as that. He gave us amazing ideas to make the night special, and guided us along the way. He was responsive and timely to every annoying question we asked. When it was showtime, John was always there to lead us in the right direction, make sure we were well fed, and was up to the task of dealing w 160+ ppl who had martinis during cocktail hour.As for the venue, I’m sure you’ve seen pictures, but it’s visually stunning and gives the guests a whole different feel to a typical wedding. Multiple rooms to explore and enjoy throughout the ceremony, but still with an intimate feel. And the dance floor being off the dining room worked out perfect, we had most everyone out there when it came time to party. Also your views of the beautiful trees and Long Island sound are amazing from the dining area. Plus...what’s better than getting married in a castle! The cocktail hour is something special, we added on raw & martini bar (like 15 different types of martinis) and it was a hit. You also get an endless amount of different appetizer choices to overwhelm your guests with as they explore the multitude of beautiful rooms and courtyards around them. People raved about it and John was nice enough to usher us to an outside table on the patio w two dishes he prepared for us (life saving stuff after a martini or two as guests mob you). Dinner is made to order and presented perfectly. The service for dinner is fancy, coordinated dinner reveals for the full table is a nice touch! So hopefully by my note, you can tell that if you’re between a few venues my recommendation is don’t be, choose this one you won’t be disappointed it will be a magical day. Ps—we did the wedding package and all of the vendors (Tommy the DJ, Park Ave studios-Brian, Tom & Bill & our florist Amanda from Village florist) were all wonderful too.

We just had our wedding at Coindre hall on Nov. 18 and I have to say John is the man! When you email him with questions, he always answer within a day. We had an unusual request to hang my husband's deer mounts, he happily accepted the challenge and place 2 deer mounts at the hall. We also made a place card table setting and he was so accommodating to us because we kept running late and he actually waited for us to set that up on Friday night. During the wedding day, he keep checking on us and make sure we eat and have enough time for our guests as we changed clothes 3 times. I'm not sure if it's the most difficult wedding he had, but we would recommend Coindre Hall in a heart beat. Our guests told us all the servers were very attentive and the food was AMAZING! The Chateau Briand was so tasty and the Long Island duck was good as well. My husband loved the salmon. Plenty of drinks without any wait. It was raining that day, so we end up having the wedding indoor, but we really wanted to do the sparklers. John helped us set it up at the end when the rain stopped. Overall, it was a magical night. Thank you John and your wonderful stuffs for all your help.

We loved our wedding at Coindre Hall- it was everything we imagined it would be and better. The Chateau is simply beautiful- a beautiful old mansion- and it feels like your very own, since they only have one event at a time. The setting is perfect for photos, the ceremony, and of course the reception. I had been at events at The Three Village Inn- which is the same chef and catering service and knew the food would be excellent, and we were not disappointed. All of our guests commented on the beauty of the Chateau and how amazing the food was- and there was so much of it. We liked how many choices there were when we were planning the menu and how easy and helpful the staff made things. The maitre'd and staff were flawless. It was a perfect event.

From the moment we had our first meeting, the staff their, Kate and John made us feel special and welcome. To start, if you want an outdoor wedding on Long Island, this is the place to do it. It does not need ANYTHING. The tree that you get married under and the surrounding area is beautiful. Many of venues have what feel like fake settings, but this was quite and beautiful. From there, the cocktail hours is huge, with an amazing selection of food and enough seats for over 100 people. Your guest get to walk all around the venue, from the atrium garden, to the second floor and seats on the front deck. Then, the introduction - everyone standing and gathered in the ballroom made it so special. The energy that was felt in that room cannot be matched. By having the dancing in a separate area made everyone want to get up and dance! And the older people loved that they could sit and hear each other talk. There are so many amazing places for photos as well. John - the maitre d - is like no other person I have ever met. He was EVERYWHERE, organized, calm and just on top of everything. He made everything run perfect, gave invaluable feedback and we completely trusted him. If you don't book your wedding here, you are missing out on the most one of a the best venues on Long Island. Catering halls are all the same, this place knocks it out of the park.

Where do I begin. To say John at Coindre Hall was a true joy to work with is an understatement. I work within the wedding industry & have seen quite a bit in regard to service & ambiance; I have to say my husband and I were blown away at the level of service & the main course presentation AND flavor! All of our guests raved about the food & loved the venue! We got married on 9/22/2017 and chose to have a daytime reception. One minor concern that we had was that our guests wouldn't know where to mingle, due to the unique layout of Coindre Hall. This should have never been a concern...our guests loved finding their own space within the venue to mingle & catch up with family & friends. It was exactly what we were looking for; a venue that feels like home, with all the same warmth & hospitality! Coindre Hall is a great venue for all ages; our nieces & cousins had a great time exploring the space. They enjoyed themselves just as much as our older guests! Another simple but meaningful touch we requested to have was a to-go coffee station as our guests were leaving. John and his staff went above & beyond throughout the entire day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us celebrate our big day & making it such a laid back & fun atmosphere. We truly appreciate all of the attention & time the team at Coindre Hall spent making our wedding dreams come true! God Bless, Virginia & William Lee

I could not have asked for a better venue to have our wedding. Coindre Hall was so much more unique and had much more character & history than many of the other \"wedding factories\" we had toured. One of our favorite parts was that you are the only event of the day. They're not hosting other weddings or functions that day and the sole focus is on your event.John was absolutely fantastic. He was always prompt and helpful when answering emails leading up to the day of our wedding. The day of, he was always present throughout the night and kept everything flowing wonderfully. Many guests commented that the night flowed so perfectly and there was a perfect amount of time for each part: from the cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. I loved the space for our ceremony as well! Beautiful lawn out front and we were married underneath a big tree (great for lots of shade for guests). The food was AMAZING and there was so much of it!! We got many compliments on how perfectly everything was cooked and how it tasted. More than ten guests also said how it was the best wedding they had ever been to. It was the perfect place!

John and his team decorated with all the pictures we had given him. The food and service were incredible. The drinks were perfect. We had about 150 guests and no one was ever waiting for a drink. My guests danced the entire time. John Schelnke is wonderful!! So helpful and knowledgeable. I wish we could do it all again so we could re-live it.

I had my wedding just two days ago and I couldnt wait to write this. The place is just gorgeous and the wedding turned out exactly how I had planned. My biggest thanks is to John, the matre d. He was so responsive to my emails throughout the whole process. He also has many years of experience and he was so helpful and professional. I planned the whole wedding myself so I felt very grateful to have someone like him that I could trust. On the wedding day of, he ran around and made sure everything was placed correctly, guests were entertained, and it really gave me a peace of mind. I didnt have to worry much on my wedding day other than my vow. I love the venue. Coindre Hall reminds me of our vacation in Colmar, France. It has history, uniqueness, and a cozy feel. The guests were absolutely in love with the place. I didnt put in a photo booth, because why take pictures with fake background when you have a gorgeous castle like this one. Second, we picked this place because the venue only serves one wedding a day and we had the flexibility to time the wedding. Most of my guests have kids, so we wanted to come early and leave early. Most importantly, the venue has a huge parking lot next door, which makes it so convenient. We also had the ceremony outside the lawn. It was so quiet and romantic. We didnt even need a mic to speak our vows. During reading the vows, we had half the guests crying : )Going into the wedding planning process, I had a mindset that not everything will turn out the way it will go but I did make a few very good decisions that made the wedding as smooth as it was. And one of them was definitely picking this venue. Brides, if you are planning a wedding, please remember to have a open mind. Thats definitely helped me so much and things will work out in return. Happy Planning.

We had our ceremony and reception at Coindre Hall on 9/5/15. \rFirst of all, John (the Maitre d') is AMAZING! He is the nicest guy and loves weddings and Coindre Hall. He truly wants your wedding day to be perfect and works so hard to ensure that it is. He worked closely with us during the 1.5 years leading up to our wedding. I emailed him countless times and he was always so prompt to respond and very patient and helpful. He helps make all of your dreams/ideas come true. John was so great on our wedding day. He was so organized and had every moment planned so that we didn't have to worry about anything. He worked very well with our other vendors and ensured that everything went smoothly. I really can't say enough about how wonderful John is! \r\rThe weather on our wedding day was absolutely perfect and the front lawn was beautiful for the ceremony. Coindre Hall is a perfect wedding venue! It is unique, stunning and has so much charm. I loved having different areas for each part of the wedding: outside for the ceremony, the cocktail hour rooms, the dining room and the ballroom. This allows people to explore this beautiful building and not be stuck in one room all night, yet it still feels very intimate. There is only one wedding per day, so you get the venue all to yourself. I used the bridal suite to get ready with my bridesmaids. My husband and I did our \"first look\" in the courtyard. It was the perfect setting and our photos and video look amazing. There are so many great photo opportunities at Coindre Hall. Our photographer was able to get so many great shots. The reception was so much fun! The staff is amazing and worked so hard throughout the night. The catering is provided by Three Village Inn and the food was so delicious. Our guests loved the food and no one went hungry. There is so much food between the cocktail hour, dinner and dessert. I could go on and on about how great this venue is. Every guest said it was the best venue and wedding they have ever been to. I highly recommend Coindre Hall!

Chateau at Coindre Hall’s charm is, in short, magical. From the moment you drive up to its secluded setting you feel like you are transformed back in time. The dynamics of the venue offer a wedding event like no other as guests are greeted with champagne and allowed to roam the grounds uninhibited. There is such an intimacy to the place that you’ll feel as though it truly is yours.\rThe soul of it though, in my personal experience, was John, our event coordinator. To say John is diligent is an understatement – he knows his venue inside and out. My husband and I found John to be such a calming presence, from the first time we met him, until the day of our wedding. He created a beautiful ambiance, catered to our every need (without us even having to ask) and commanded his staff to make sure that each and every guest was attended to.\rThe combination of the venue and its service is invaluable and I strongly recommend it for your wedding!

Thank you John for all your help in making my son and daughter-in-law's wedding an absolutely fantastic event. I cannot say enough about the venue, food and staff. Chef Guy is to be commended for the outstanding selection of foods to choose from for both the cocktail hour and dinner. George made sure everything in the dining room went smoothly throughout the evening. The hardworking staff prepared all rooms and the outdoor ceremony exactly as the couple requested with the personal touches they brought in. And then there is John.

Thank you John for all your help in making my son and daughter-in-law's wedding an absolutely fantastic event. I cannot say enough about the venue, food and staff. Chef Guy is to be commended for the outstanding selection of foods to choose from for both the cocktail hour and dinner. George made sure everything in the dining room went smoothly throughout the evening. The hardworking staff prepared all rooms and the outdoor ceremony exactly as the couple requested with the personal touches they brought in. And then there is John.

I was married here on August 1, 2015 and it was an amazing evening. John and his staff made sure that we had everything that we needed throughout the night. I am still hearing about how fabulous the food and atmosphere was at Coindre Hall. Throughout the night we had dancing for people who wanted to dance, and those who wanted to hang out and talk were able to do that too. Additionally, the hall and grounds are absolutely stunning. This is an amazing place to get married!

This venue is absolutely magical! The timelessness and elegance of the chateau was everything we were looking for. John and his staff are true professionals. They made us feel as if we were owners of the mansion for the night. The food was delicious and they offered a variety of menu options. They are constantly updating their menu and we were able to customize everything to our liking, including last minute changes when we tried something new at one of their showcases. The perfectly kept grounds were perfect for pictures prior to cocktail hour. This venue is unique as the dinning room is separate from the dance floor. This turned out to be beneficial for our large sized party to dance the night away. The spacious venue allowed guests to walk freely and explore the chateau. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for their fairytale wedding!

This venue is beautiful and full of charm. I fell in love with the space right away- it was the perfect place for our wedding.\r\rBut even with the stunning architecture and delicious food, I have to say the real magic of this venue is Banquet Manager John Schlenke. From finding us the perfect arch for our ceremony to reassuring an allergic family member that there would be no trace of nuts anywhere, he went out of his way at every turn to help us get our day just right. He is kind, patient and incredibly good at his job. \r\rAs an anxious bride, I really think it made all the difference that we picked a venue with such an amazing manager.

I am so, so happy we found Coindre Hall when we started planning our wedding. From the moment we drove up the driveway and first saw the Chateau, we knew we wanted to have our wedding here. Getting married at Coindre Hall was like a fairytale. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and we LOVED how the venue took place in different rooms - and how our guests had access to the whole mansion (inside and outside) throughout the night. We did not want to have our wedding in a typical one-room catering hall like most of the Long Island weddings. Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and we can't imagine having it anywhere else other than Coindre Hall.\rJohn, the Catering Director and Maitre' D was amazing throughout the entire process. Kind, professional, flexible, and reliable... he was always there to answer all of our questions and accommodate to all of our requests. On the wedding day, I completely trusted him to oversee everything and he did an amazing job. To John and Lessings, thank you SO much for making our wedding a dream come true!

Went to Sweet 16 at Coindre Hall and Lessing's catered the event. They broke a glass near serving bowls, then they used them anyway!!! My 5 year old ended up eating glass that was in her ice cream. Be careful because they hire unqualified staff. Been waiting to hear from insurance company for weeks now. My poor girl is scared to eat out now. Such a shame.

When we looked at wedding venues, we knew the Coindre Hall was our perfect wedding site from the moment we pulled up! This historical site is absolutely stunning from exterior to every detail inside. The charming space is set back in a quiet residential area overlooking the harbor. We met with, our wedding coordinator John and knew right away he was someone we could really trust. He was extremely professional and mild mannered. The wedding planning process was through Lessings/Three Village Inn and also when very smooth, with all payments organized in advanced and easily processed. John took a lot of personal time and attention to helping us plan every detail of our day. He made suggestions for our perfect menu selections and saw that everything went just as we wished. Our wedding day even more that we expected, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guests loved the beautiful ceremony, food, the bartenders and service. Some stating \"it was that best wedding they'd ever been to\". We wouldn't have changed a thing and the Coindre Hall will always be a special place in our hearts.

The castle and the grounds are beautiful and the staff is great. We have some amazing outdoor and indoor pictures! There is a harbor down the hill in the back of the castle (you could also drive on the side road to get there if you wanted to take pictures by the water, which is what we did). Also, I couldn't have asked for a better maitre'd (John): from the very beginning when we planned out all the details and schedule of the reception, to the day of the wedding, everything was all about ensuring that we were well-taken care of and that the night ran as smoothly as possible! I will always be grateful!

We cannot say enough positive things about Coindre Hall. It is elegance and class on every level. We had only 100 people at the reception, and thus it was a very intimate party (but definitely with room to comfortably fit more tables). Our guests loved the unique layout of Coindre. They LOVED that the reception in was in one room, and the dancing was in an adjoining room. People who wanted to party and dance could do so on the dance floor, and those who wished to talk really liked that they could have a conversation in the reception room without shouting. \r\rThe food was excellent. Lessings does an outstanding job. Everything we had was hot, delicious and nicely presented. Cocktail hour was great in variety, quality and quantity, as is expected for a Long Island wedding. Dinner was great and well paced. (We chose the pesto shrimp with lobster risotto, duck, and chateaubriand, with butternut squash ravioli for the appetizer)\r\rThe wedding cake from Black Forest Bakery in Lindenhurst was also great. We had alternating layers – one with chocolate cake and cannoli/black cherry filling, and yellow cake with cappuccino mousse filling. Both awesome. We also had a small groom’s cake with chocolate cake and raspberry fruit & mousse filling – also excellent.\r\rOur wedding was at the end of November, and I was initially concerned that the pictures wouldn’t be as pretty because the flowers, lawn, etc would be gone/brown. I am thrilled with the way the pictures turned out. Although it was a little chilly, we braved the cold and took most of our pictures outside. The bare trees framing the water, the yellow leaves on the ground, and the gray skies all looked fantastic. There are equally lovely places inside for photos as well.\r\rMuch of the credit for this review and the smoothness of the day must go to John Schlenke , the maître d’ (with shout-outs to the ladies in the Lessings office – Faith and Evelyn). John is a professional on every level, and went out of his way to make sure that everything was as perfect as possible for our wedding day. He was patient with all requests, prompt with answers to all emails, and thoughtful in the helpful suggestions that he made. From the moment we arrived after the church on our wedding day, John came out to greet us at the car like we were coming “home”. It made us feel great and was a fun way to start the day. He paced the whole day perfectly, everything flowed, and fortunately, there was nothing about the day that went wrong or that I would have changed. John treats Coindre Hall with the same respect and care that you would treat your own home, and this goes a long way in explaining why Coindre Hall is a classy venue for an elegant and fun Long Island Wedding.\r

On March 23, 2013, I married my prince charming and Coindre Hall was the perfect castle. I had the wedding of my dreams. John was amazing. His knowledge and peaceful demeanor made it so easy to get through this exciting, yet very stressful process. The cake vendor that's part of the contract was a little rough around the edges but John and his team made up for that minor aggravation. Also, we were almost at capacity so the food service was a little slow moving. I had 160 guests. All and all, everyone had a blast. It's been as least 3 months and I still have guests telling me it was the best wedding they ever attended. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making my dreams come true!

The entire staff at Coindre Hall and the Lessing's Group were wonderful to work with! We were planning our wedding from California and they responded quickly to phone calls and emails and were very flexible with appointment times when we were in town. John exceeded our expectations for a maitre d! We were running slightly behind schedule and John was a great help in keeping the group focused and back on track. \rHaving grown up on Long Island, we were looking for a unique venue that my husband and I had not been to before. In addition to that, it was very important to us that we were the only event going on at the venue that day. Not only did Coindre Hall meet all of those requirements, Coindre Hall was the final piece of the puzzle in completing our fairy tale wedding! We had our first look in the courtyard, our ceremony outside on the front lawn and we even got to take personal photos on the back lawn with the harbor in the background! \rAnd the best part about using the Lessing Group is not only do they have spectacular venues, the food is equally outstanding! They were flexible with our menu selections and even got sea bass for the groom (which was not on the menu)! Our package came with a wedding cake and after visiting with the bakery, we decided we didn't want to use them. John was very accommodating in letting us bring in a cake from a different bakery.\rNo matter what we write in this review, it will never be sufficient in explaining how exceptionally satisfied we were with Coindre Hall.
