We had our wedding at the NYIT de Seversky Mansion on December 9th, 2023 and our experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish!!!! We worked with Dana who is so, so fabulous and made our vision come to life. Every step of the way she was extremely professional and accommodating. Anything we asked of her she went out of her way to provide! All night everyone was coming up to us saying, \"this place is AWESOME!!!\" Almost none of our guests had never been to the de Seversky, which I actually really liked because it was a new experience for everyone as opposed to a place everyone had already been to.Some things we loved about this venue included the bridal suite - it consists of two very large, stunning rooms and two bathrooms which was perfect for our large bridal party of 11 girls, plus mom's and vendors! We were able to have a nice breakfast and lunch provided by the venue to the bridal suite and groom's suite which made things so simple and convenient. The grounds are so gorgeous and provided SO many different photo opportunities. All of the staff were very generous - the Maitre d' was so helpful and and our bridal attendant, Melissa, was amazing! She helped to clean the entire bottom of my dress when it got dirty outside, and was always right there.Drinks and food were great. Right after our ceremony, the staff set my husband and I up with our own little sample platter of cocktail hour food and drink in the bridal suite so that we could enjoy just the two of us before entering our cocktail hour. That was so special!We did a European style wedding-- highly, highly recommend!!! I had never seen this style wedding before, but it worked out beautifully and I loved how different it was!! We had just under 190 people and the dance floor size in the ballroom was great. We were able to fit our 10 person band with no problem. Most of all, I loved the antique, vintage feel of the venue. Many of the more new, modern venues simply don't have the charm that the de Seversky has. The detail in the building itself is so exquisite and really added a timeless feel to the day. The venue was already beautifully decorated for the holidays with wreaths and lights and Christmas trees, and it was so perfect for our December wedding. If you like a vintage, classic look, this venue is IT!!! We were simply blown away -- nothing negative to say!

We are so glad that we chose to have our wedding celebration at NYIT de Seversky mansion, and that we met Dana. We cannot say enough nice things about Dana and the entire team at De Seversky. Thinking back I remembered the review on the Knot someone shared about their experience, at the venue and with Dana and I’m happy to report that my husband and I had an amazing experience working with Dana. Top notch professional, kind, very responsive and well informed. She wants all her clients to have a wonderful experience and we did. She was there for the nervous bride last minute questions and there to welcome me on my arrival on the wedding day. The professionalism did not end with Dana, because the staff was equally attentive and kind. Special mention to Majorie my bridal attendant who was by my side through out the day into the night, and to Cami who kept things moving. I’m truly grateful for the warmth and kindness of the staff. As each of our guests shared about our wedding. they mentioned how good and tasty the food was, the beauty of the venue and the warmth of the staff.Thank you Dana for working with us, for your recommendations, guidance and accommodations. Everyone in our party had a wonderful time. Our wedding day was truly memorable.We wish you continued success With gratitude Ryan and Camielle

I had my wedding at the NYIT de Seversky Mansion and it was truly a dream come true! The venue is simply stunning, both in person and in photographs. The staff and everyone we have met at the venue in the entire process were so kind, friendly, professional, and made us all feel so taken care of. On the day of, they kept everything running on time and made sure all of our needs were met! Many guests complimented the food, from the cocktail hour to the delicious entrees. We even had multiple guests tell us that ours was the best wedding they had ever attended! If you want a beautiful and unforgettable event, I would strongly encourage you to visit the venue and grounds to see it for yourself and experience the magic! Thank you de Seversky for making our dreams come true!

This venue is beautiful, and the food was delicious. The bridal attendant Mellissa and the Maître De Kemi were both incredibly helpful and on top of everything. Unfortunately, that is all the good I can say. The planning process was a headache. Trying to get answers from the Sales Rep Dana was incredibly frustrating. It would take days if not weeks for her to respond to emails and when she did the answers to my questions were confusing and misleading. When I did try to call for answers, I was met with a full voicemail box and no other contact. Numerous times we were told that we could do something to later find out that it was not possible or would cost hundreds of dollars more. We were told we could change out the portrait in the Ballroom, but in reality, the venue has no idea how big the portrait is, how it is attached to the wall, or have a ladder to facilitate work around or on it. In addition, if we still wanted to do something with it we would have to sign a liability weaver and only the person who signed would be allowed to touch the portrait. We planned on doing a photo both/guest book in the Library Room; but when I inquired about setting up tables in a certain configuration for that I was told guest wouldn’t be allowed in that room following Cocktail hour. To decorate for the day we were told that we would be able to drop stuff off the week/day before the event; however when I tried to plan when to drop things off I found out not only could I not drop anything off before the day of if I wanted to drop anything off before 4pm we would have to pay an additional $300 an hour so that the staff could provide snacks and drinks even though I explained that no one needed any type of service and were just going to be there to set up. Similarly, we were told that we could pick things up the day after the event for a fee; however, when I inquired about the fee I was informed that we couldn’t leave anything in the venue after the event. I wish I could say that the headache of planning was worth it. There were tables set up for the ceremony area that wasn’t planned or talked about. There were also tables set up with the incorrect place setting so that there weren’t enough seats at the assigned tables. On our paperwork for the cake flavor and information on the top tier, I listed the 2 cake flavors to be served and that we didn’t want to save the top tier. It was then surprising when we talked to guests during dessert who knew about the 2 cake flavors, who told us that the staff said there was only one flavor. Unfortunately, the tiered cake to our knowledge was not served. That would be fine if we had received the uneaten cake. This cake was not provided by the venue it was purchased from a separate preferred vendor. The baker gave us 2 flavors of cake because that is what he always does for this venue; so the venue should expected 2 cake flavors. At the end of the day our entire 2-tiered cake went uneaten and is unaccounted for with the cake toppers that I requested to be saved. This venue is not DYI friendly. When we toured the venue, we were told that the staff could help set up given things were clearly labeled with where they were to be placed. However, once they realized that I was the one providing the décor without the help of a rental company or event planner they said the staff could not help set up. Overall, I would caution anyone who has a very specific way they want their special day to go against this venue.

The de Seversky Mansion at NYIT ran like a Swiss watch. They were utterly impeccable with their organization, running one of the tightest ships we have ever seen in any venue. They were also there with us every step of the way with planning our wedding, from helping with vendors, to picking out menus, to the minutiae of the day's schedule. Dana and her team showed us the highest standards of communication and performance that are unrivaled in the industry. On top of all of this, the food is absolutely delicious (the guests were raving) and the venue is stunning! We are grateful--no, beyond grateful--to them for all they did for us and for how delicious and beautiful the day was.

Part Two: Not sure where the disconnect occurred in the timing/flow of the wedding but our maître d'hôtel seemed overwhelmed all day. Guests felt rushed from the cocktail hour into the ballroom for introductions and the reception. Wait staff did not bring special requests (no dressing on a salad, cheese on the side of a salad, etc) in a timely fashion. The bar ran out of limes and Cointreau. And the biggest embarrassment of all was the buffet setup. We decided on a brunch buffet because we wanted a more casual reception with our guests free to mingle with us and one another. When we chose to have an outdoor reception with our tables and chairs on the East Lawn, we were told that the buffet would be set up in the perimeter of the ballroom. Knowing that the deSeversky Mansion had executed buffet receptions in the past, never in a million years would we have thought that a buffet for 135 people would consist of two stations (one with a made to order omelet bar and the other with everything else, specifically a waffle station, home fries, two salads and three hot entrees) perpendicular to each other with only a doorway between them. Despite having our 12 tables take turns approaching the buffet, our guests waited on very, very long lines (spanning the length of the ballroom and out both doorways to the East Lawn) for food to be served. Clearly, more stations were needed with better spacing between them. Happily, many remarked that the food was delicious once they actually got a plate. By the end of the wedding, Dana was no longer in the building and the maître d’ was looking for gratuities for himself and staff. With all that said, I’m not only disappointed but feel slightly abused by the 21% administrative fee charged by this venue. I admit that I signed my wedding contract with the deSeversky Mansion with my eyes wide open to the clearly delineated 21% administrative fee as well as the site fee, the ceremony fee, the per person/ plate fee and the collection of mandatory New York sales tax (8.625%) on all of the aforementioned fees. In addition, not once but twice, written in italics and bolded in my contract was the sentence, “Administrative Charge is not a gratuity and will not be distributed as a gratuity to the service staff.” When you do the math, this administrative charge was $7000 and I am fairly confident that I did not receive $7000 worth of administrative services throughout wedding planning/during the wedding.In summary, although the venue is beautiful and the food was delicious (at least I am told it was), I am very sorry to say that I would not recommend this venue to an out of state bride/groom and to anyone who does not want to follow the deSeversky Mansion’s prefabricated wedding styles. And if you decide to hold your wedding at this historic and elegant location anyway, please do yourself a favor and hire a wedding planner and/or day of wedding coordinator to prevent the embarrassment we suffered and hopefully have a better experience!

Part One:As a bride planning a wedding in NY while living in another state 400 miles away, I chose this venue because of the ambiance, convenience for our families (both sides live on Long Island) and the glowing reviews of Dana and staff. I was reassured that the venue and staff could accommodate and plan a wedding with an out of state bride and groom and an unconventional wedding style for the venue, i.e., a Sunday wedding brunch. I was also told that a wedding planner/coordinator was not needed because the administrative team was very active in helping with wedding planning.Unfortunately, my experience has been frustrating due to what appears to be an overwhelmed and undertrained staff. Within 3 months of booking the venue (my parents went for an in person tour while I toured remotely with them), the sales and events coordinator I had been working with was let go and all further questions/planning was with the sales and events manager, Dana. My first in-person visit to the deSeversky Mansion came 5 months before the wedding for a tasting of breakfast foods that staff could only schedule for a Friday late afternoon. In all fairness, our schedule was not very flexible in terms of the week we were visiting in NY but we gave ample notice and could not be accommodated for a better time of day. At the tasting there was a “mix-up” whereby we were served nuts and meat even though our wedding was nut free/vegetarian. Although the kitchen staff apologized profusely and said it had never happened before, we were so dismayed that we immediately notified Dana of the issue. Dana correctly asked what she could do to make this right and we suggested she waive the extra charge ($300++ per hour) to allow us to use the bridal suite several hours before the wedding start time. This request had a dual purpose: first, it allowed us to get ready on premises but more importantly it permitted us potential oversight to the kitchen preparations to ensure that our dietary needs would be properly addressed. Additional planning over the subsequent months consisted primarily of email exchanges, sometimes with several days between my email and a response, as Dana was basically a one man band for all events at the mansion.The day of the wedding started off great with Dana and staff on premises as promised. The bridal suite was set up and the bridal attendant was very attentive. However, the groom did not receive the same welcome. When he arrived, he did not know where to go (he had never toured the venue) and there was no one around to direct him. When he finally found a staff member, he was instructed to sit outside of Dana’s office and was told he would be helped momentarily. Momentarily turned into 30 minutes until the same staff member asked what he was still doing there; he replied that he was waiting to be directed to the groom’s dressing room. He was then shown to the groom’s suite which looked like a large storage room with stacked chairs rather than a dressing area. In addition, there was no breakfast food or drink laid out as was listed in the contract. To add insult to injury, there was little privacy as the wait staff were in/out scrambling to set the room while he was getting ready. (rest of review under Jacob G)

The NYIT de Seversky Mansion was our dream wedding venue! We chose this venue because we thought the European Style option was very unique. Our guests were surprised by the change in the order of events! I am happy I took the recommendation to have our dinner in the garden room and dancing in the ballroom. There was more space for our guests to dance and enjoy the music at cocktail tables. Something to keep in mind is that the dancing portion doesn't happen until around 9 pm with the European Style wedding so I would highly recommend adding an extra hour to your event. It was the perfect amount of time for dancing! The food was also very good and we loved the presentation. Our guests kept raving about the steak. It was a pleasure working with Dana and her team. Dana was very helpful over the past year and a half. Whenever I had a question, she was quick to reply and anything we asked for she was able to accommodate. I would highly recommend booking your wedding at the NYIT de Seversky Mansion!

Dana Perna is the crown jewel of this wedding venue, and her ability to bring her staff together to deliver very high quality service and to pay impeccable attention to the smallest details is extraordinary. All of our guests, family members and the wedding party enjoyed consummate professionalism from Dana, and it made for a magical wedding venue. Dana's goal is to deliver on all aspects of the wedding party's wishes, and is by their side as the day and evening progresses. We were struck by the responsiveness of the bridal attendant, the chef, wait staff, and all other service staff at the Mansion. We were treated like family, and every need met throughout the process. Our son and his wife had their wedding at the De Seversky Mansion over the 4th of July weekend in 2022, and t could not have been a more well-executed wedding ceremony and celebration. We are grateful for the care, attention and consummate professionalism Dana and her team exhibited throughout the process. Our family and guests are still talking about the spectacular evening they had at the Mansion, how beautiful the interior was, how immaculate and lovely the grounds were, how delicious the food was, and how much they enjoyed the dessert table supplied by the Mansion and cake from Wonderful Wedding Cake at the end of the evening. From the first moment we met Dana on an initial tour, we knew that we would be in good hands with such a calm and reassuring person. Dana clearly loves her job, and it shows in every interaction she has with her clients. Thank you, Dana, for a magnificent celebration.

De Seversky Mansion is a beautiful venue, there is no question about that. But it was the team at de Seversky Mansion that really made our wedding day everything we could ever dream of! Everything from the start of wedding planning (>1.5 years for us) to the wedding day went seamlessly! We did not hire a wedding planner so all the communication was between us and their team (mainly Dana). Dana is so responsive to our emails (usually within a few hours) and explained the details of the wedding day so we didn't have to worry much. There were no silly questions with Dana; she was very happy to help us.On the day of the wedding, the Maitre D' (Oscar) and bridal attendant (Andrea) really made the event run seamlessly. They kept track of time, made sure we were well fed during the long hours before and after the ceremony, and made minor adjustments to the timeline of events so that the wedding was enjoyable for everyone. They were always mindful of time and never rushed us even if we were running a few minutes late. The bridal attendant went above and beyond to make sure my dress looked amazing for photos and the ceremony. The staff brought us cocktail hour snacks after the ceremony because they knew we wanted a few minutes to ourselves and they knew we were going to miss the majority of the cocktail hour for photos. Although we couldn't try everything at cocktail hour, many of our guests keep telling us that the food was amazing. At the end of the night, they were tremendously helpful by packing up most of our leftover items from the bridal suite, the welcome tables, the first tier of our wedding cake, and signs. We couldn't have imagined a better wedding day!

We feel so lucky to have had the most beautiful and elegant wedding at the de Seversky Mansion last month. De Seversky feels like one of Long Island’s best kept secrets - a sprawling East Gold Coast mansion on beautiful grounds that makes you feel as though you have been transported back in time to the 1920s. We were so fortunate to work with Dana Perna while planning our wedding. Dana is so sweet, professional and accommodating. She offered great advice, provided full transparency and really held our hands every step of the way, ensuring us that we would have the wedding of our dreams (which we did!) Our guests could not stop raving over how beautiful, elegant and sophisticated the mansion is, and everyone absolutely LOVED the European style reception with the ability to move throughout the mansion, and explore each room. Since de Seversky only hosts one wedding at a time, we had full run of the mansion which in a way made it feel as though we were hosting a huge party in our home for all of our friends and family. The food was also phenomenal! We received so many compliments throughout the night (and after the wedding) of how amazing the cocktail hour was as well as dinner in the ballroom and all of the dessert stations. We also opted to add on a hot pretzel station for the end of the night which our guests loved. Dana and the de Seversky team went above and beyond to accommodate any requests we had and really know how to throw an elegant affair. Everything was set up to perfection and the flow of the party went so smoothly. If you are looking for a wedding venue, run don’t walk to de Seversky Mansion.

My wife and I had the most magical special day here… my family and friends were blown away at how incredible this mansion is. It’s so private and the staff allow you to have the entire mansion for the day as if you live there and are throwing a party just like the past owners did in the 1920s! Dana our wedding planner was so efficient and accommodating allowing us to have so much freedom with everything. Stacy and Mary Kate were so kind, friendly & gave us everything we needed during our special day. The grounds are beautiful, our pictures are amazing because of all the different types of scenery throughout. We loved our ceremony under the Linden Tree, the cocktail hour being in the old library, and the ballroom being the reception area with the bar just outside to make people move around so that they aren’t in one room for hours and can experience the beauty all over. The price is the most affordable you will ever get for such an upscale wedding/mansion. The staff worked with us to help us figure out the best way over time to afford it and we are so thankful. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding, these words do not even do justice at how satisfied we are. Thank you De Seversky we miss you already!!!

The second my husband and I pulled up to the de Seversky Mansion, we knew it would be our venue. It was the best decision we made. First, it's one of the most stunning venues I've ever seen - historic, breath-taking, unique, and tucked away on the most gorgeous grounds. Second, the staff is one of a kind. Dana was a steady, calming and helpful presence throughout the entire planning and postponement process. She was responsive, full of ideas, helpful in every way and is just a JOY to work with and be around. The rest of the staff was equally amazing. Stacy the maitre d' welcomed guests with open arms and made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. My bridal attendant Melissa was an actual life saver making sure I had everything I needed (food, water, support) and making sure my day was perfect. And the kitchen/bar staff was efficient, helpful and on top of every moving element of the night. The FOOD is also a highlight of the mansion. Our guests were raving about the cocktail hour, dinner, dessert and after party menu. Our day was perfect because of this venue - the pictures are going to be amazing because there is no shortage of amazing spots. I can't stress enough about how amazing this place is. Book it now!

DeSeversky staff ruined my wedding day. I don't think this venue is safe and for that reason, I don't think it's worth the money.My grandfather fell down on the property and cut his head open at the end of my wedding. He wasn’t offered much more than a bandaid. They sent a “security officer.” In my opinion, this man treated me horrible based on how he raised his voice at me and made demands.Put yourself in my shoes. You just got married, you’re on cloud 9. The phone rings - it’s a frantic call that my grandfather is on the ground outside the venue after tripping on something. My family runs to scoop him up and address the cut on his head.My grandfather eventually washes up and leaves to check himself out in his hotel room.The venue manager, Jose, comes and shows me into the ballroom with someone I’ve never seen before. Because DeSeversky shuffled me into the room alone and I don’t have a witness, I have to say that it’s my opinion that this person demands that I help him do his job and file a report. I gave him some basic information about my grandfather’s contact information.In my opinion, he was pressuring me to lie and say things I didn’t see. I obviously refuse. At this point, in my opinion he gets aggressive, inappropriate, disrespectful and belittling towards me in a way no one should treat a groom or anyone on their wedding night. I walk away.I told the venue this absolutely ruined my night and all I want is an apology from the guy in question. Maybe he’s a nice guy having a bad day? Just say “hey, I was out of line and I’m sorry.” I was ready to just put this all behind me.… Until they refused.In my opinion, this is the kind of business you're dealing with at DeSeversky. All we asked for was the person in question to apologize and have documented evidence of DeServersky saying they won't do that. In my opinion, DeSeversky put me in the room with him alone knowing that however he treated me couldn’t be substantiated by any witnesses. I am so horrified to this day by how I was treated and that they won’t apologize.If you have standards, I personally recommend you don't trust your wedding day to DeSeversky. The behavior of this person and failure to offer an apology ruined my wedding day and has permanently shattered the illusion of DeSeversky being a good venue for me.

I had my wedding at the mansion in April 2021 (rescheduled from summer 2020) and cannot say enough positive things about the mansion and its staff. The venue and its grounds are so elegant and beautiful. We did not want to have a cookie cutter catering hall/country club wedding and we knew the mansion was perfect for us the second we drove up for our initial tour.We had to postpone due to COVID-19 and the sales team at the mansion could not have been more accommodating, professional, and helpful as we navigated the process. We worked with Dana Perna throughout the planning, postponing, and replanning process. Dana and the entire team's professionalism during COVID-19 was remarkable and is a true testament to the type of operation they run. Dana was patient, attentive to detail, and had a genuine interest in ensuring that our wedding was perfect. Working with Dana felt like having our own dedicated wedding planner. We are so grateful for Dana's help, taste, and all of her hard work because our wedding was absolutely perfect. Every detail of our wedding was executed as planned and requested-- it truly went off without a hitch. Jose, the bridal assistants, and the rest of the staff were beyond attentive to us, our bridal party, and all of our guests. Our families and friends were so impressed with the level of service all day and night. The mansion's Executive Chef and his team are beyond beyond BEYOND talented. We were able to customize and tailor our menu to our specific tastes and preferences, and the results were truly incredible. Our wedding menu felt like that of an upscale restaurant, not your typical boring wedding menu. Everything was beyond delicious, served in large portions, plated beautifully, and warm... and the timing of its service was perfect (I cannot say this about weddings I have been to at other venues in the past!). Our guests are still raving about the food, the ambiance, and the overall flow of our wedding.We were so happy with our wedding and are beyond grateful for everyone at the mansion for making the day so perfect for us!

The NYIT de Seversky Mansion is a startlingly gorgeous mansion with an intriguing Gold Coast history which we selected for our November 2019 wedding. We chose the de Seversky in August of last year, so it was a real race to the finish line. Fortunately de Seversky team really rose to the occasion to help make our wedding truly special.We worked with Dana Perna and manager Robert Jay Calo as our primary contacts. We had two main requirements: responsiveness and an all-vegetarian wedding. I'll note that on the responsiveness front the first month or so was a bit challenging; I'm used to direct/immediate responses and there was some lag time in communications. However, when the timeline got to under a month and a half a switch was flipped and everything fell into place. It was frankly a little nerve wracking for us during the early going, but a pleasure once we knew we could rely on the de Seversky team. They also worked extremely well with our wedding coordinator. For the food, we had multiple conversations with the head chef and his sous chef straight through the final tasting. While at first the options presented were a bit pedestrian we were assured that the team would rise to the occasion and proved to be highly collaborative with feedback and suggestions after I sent through an array of potential dishes and recipes. We received many compliments from our guests on the quality of the appetizers and entrees (we actually pushed to have Impossible Burgers which went over like gangbusters). We opted for the dessert cafe and substituted Crepes Suzette for the waffles, which guests adored.The day-of Groom and Bridal attendants, whose names I'm embarrassed to say I don't recall in the whirl of the day, were excellent; calming, reassuring and focused on the goals at hand. Really top-notch.The ability to create specialty cocktails, while standard, was another part of the creativity of the experience as the excellent Head Bartender was more than willing to go \"off book\" from the typically offerings to work on drinks with more creative pizazz. I also requested a beer option like a winter porter that is no longer made...and somehow he was able to find cases OF that out of stock beer! That was a real surprise and delight.There are two relatively minor negatives to report. One is the lack of an elevator to the second floor where the Bride's suite is located. This is unfortunate as it does limit the ability of mobility-challenged guests to participate in some moments. Second is the organization of the mansion itself. There are a number of rooms which all flow into each other, making it a very special location and experience - but it becomes very easy for guests (particularly older ones) to get either lost or confused in the layout. We had multiple guests report to us that they weren't aware there WAS a second room serving appetizers, for example; at the end of the night dessert is served in a separate room which means guests wander off and don't return to the dance floor. More signage or just the servers letting guests know about what's available would really help.Altogether we, and our guests, had a delightful and memorable experience at the de Seversky and would highly recommend for other couples!

I always wanted to have my wedding at a place that did not ‘feel’ like a venue and where I could utilize the entire space throughout the day. When you walk into the de Seversky mansion, you are transported back to the early 1900s. Every detail of the place is in incredible condition and so intricate. You drive up through a wooded path that opens to the magnificent building. The entryway is pure marble and every room has a different theme and feel. We decided to do a ‘European’ style wedding so that our guests could explore the rooms as the night went on. Planning a winter wedding, I wanted people to ‘feel’ as though they were outside, but with temperature control. The Garden Room, a glass solarium overlooking a lake, was picture perfect. But it was not until we read the hundreds of rave reviews about the food and service that we were sold. The staff at this venue went above and beyond from day one, accommodating every single question and request. Dana and Robert Jay were always available and made us feel like family. Dana even realized one tiny item I forgot to pack for my drop off that I would have forgotten if she had not intimately known all the details of our day. Our maître d’, Jose, and our bridal attendant, Melissa, were two of the kindest and most thoughtful people. Melissa stuck to me like glue all night, proactively taking care of everything from my dress to making sure I was hydrated to reminding me where I needed to be at all times. Jose, similarly, did the same with the staff, coordinating the team like a conductor with an orchestra and boy did he not miss a beat! I have never seen such dedicated service in my life and to top it all off, the food and drinks were OUT OF THIS WORLD. No exaggeration, the food was like a 5-star restaurant but with so many options no guest could be bored. They also made all of the food cook to order, so every dietary need and desire was accounted for. Our guests were blown away by how taken care of they were throughout the night, on top of the nonstop care given to us and our wedding party. This venue exceeded every single expectation.

It's hard to say what the absolute best part about hosting our wedding with NYIT de Seversky was. The groom's family, who loves historic places and beautiful architecture, would probably tell you it was the gorgeous mansion, well-maintained grounds, and picture-perfect ceremony location options. The guests would probably say the food-- there was so much food and every course was something you'd expect from a restaurant or award-winning caterer. As the bride, though, I think the best part was the endless support and expertise I had access to, and the immense flexibility and capability of the talent in house. I chose not to use a wedding planner, despite having a very busy work schedule and not being physically on Long Island most days of the month, because I got overly ambitious and way over-estimated how long I'd continue to find wedding-planning fun for. The only reason I didn't regret it? De Seversky made every idea I had a dazzling reality. Custom escort card displays... a surprise dragon dance during the cocktail hour (they hid at least a dozen children, two Chinese lion costumes, and at least 2 taiko-sized drums in a back room for me while we exchanged vows. What other venue can pull that off? What other planner?)... baskets of sandals and bathroom amenities and photo frames and candles/bud vase arrangements throughout the entire mansion! An epic take-out donut display. All without batting an eyelash. When I asked whether I should hire a coordinator, they told us \"our brides don't typically get day of coordinators... some do, but most don't, and most don't regret it\"-- they're 1000% right. Their staff knows their space and timesheets like the backs of their hands.Even better than that? They run a very tight ship in terms of timeline, meetings, responsiveness, simplifying payments. My parents are immigrants and their English is solid, but contract details can get confusing. The planning staff at De Seversky made all of us feel extremely in the loop and in control. Any time my mom wanted to call, drop by with a question, anything, Dana and Robert Jay would quickly get back to her. One thing I really appreciate is that when our headcount came in a little too high, it looked like we would need to use a different floorplan for where we had dinner. My florist had designed the centerpieces to highlight the tables on the edges of the room, however, and if we needed to change rooms, the redesign would have been last-second and very expensive. She was freaking me out, so I called Robert Jay to see if he could make it work, and he first calmed me down, assuring it would work, then had Dana and Jose, both superstars, put together a plan that probably wasn't as ideal spaciousness-wise, but it was what we needed. Dinner was a bit cozy, in the room we envisioned it in, and so so beautiful (and delicious! I still think about that shrimp garganelli pasta. Don't let them take that off the menu!!).I cannot think of a way in which NYIT de Seversky could be trumped. It is delicious. beautiful. authentic. professional. These people know hospitality, and they will take care of you like fairy godparents. It isn't cheap, but it did save me at least $5K in wedding planning/coordinating costs, so that's considerable too.

I can't say enough good things about our wedding at the De Seversky Mansion on Oct 5th - from start to finish the team was impeccable, thoughtful, and kind at every turn.We chose to have a European style reception in which our wedding progressed through the mansion in different rooms which kept guests interested throughout. We had our ceremony outside by the Linden tree (absolutely beautiful) and subsequently, cocktail hour in a few of the smaller rooms, dinner in the ballroom, and dancing in the garden room with the beautiful glass walls and ceiling which made for a magical night. I can't imagine having done it any other way - the progression allowed us all to enjoy dinner and then dance the night away without any interruption. The Seversky team kindly set my husband and I up in the bridal suite just after our ceremony with a tray of hors d'oeuvres so that we didn't have to miss our amazing cocktail hour and I am so glad - the food was phenomenal. Our guests agreed. Go for the gold coast station with fresh seafood. Well worth it. I have never received so many compliments on food. Leading up to the wedding, I was very nervous about planning and logistics - I never needed to be. The team (led by the amazing Robert Jay Calo) anticipated everything and kept the night running smoothly. Truly thought of everything and everyone was there the night of to troubleshoot so all I had to do was take in everything and enjoy. Would do it all again in a heartbeat (Looking for excuses to have another event already!). Do not hesitate to book this beautiful location. Great value, beautiful setting, and an amazing team that thinks of everything so you don't have to.

The NYIT de Seversky Mansion was perfect for us. Guests were greeted in the library with a glass of champagne and water and then we had an outdoor wedding underneath their beautiful linden tree out back. Everything was so dreamy! Then we had cocktail hour with spaces inside and outside for guests to wander. Many guests said the cocktail hour was the best one they've ever been to!Then we had dinner in the ballroom (European style -- which we loved). People could actually talk and enjoy their meals without running off to the dance floor for a song they love. The food for dinner was delicious and no one ever had an empty glass ;) We had speeches in there and then we went over to the garden room for dancing and dessert. People loved that they could sit and talk with their family members while being able to see what's happening on the dance floor or hop on the dance floor! The desserts were awesome! We had a Belgian waffle bar with cake and then donuts for guests on the way out. The staff at the de Seversky was TOP NOTCH. Jose (maitre d) and the bridal attendants Melissa and Kim were so attentive and made the night run SO smoothly. Jose really is a master in his field and knows all the tips and tricks that I never would've thought of (one example - not giving the actual rings to the ring bearers! and just the boxes! haha). JoAnna was the salesperson that helped us plan every detail all along the way and she really made us feel like we were in great hands! She really made it all come together. I am so happy we went with this venue. The venue itself doesn't need a lot of decorations, which was a plus for us. We wanted something different and it ended up being so romantic and dreamy.

We had our wedding here in April and I can’t say enough about how wonderful this venue is. All our guests were amazed by how beautiful and well kept the mansion is compared to other venues. Even the groom was impressed, and he’s notoriously hard to please. My in-laws own a restaurant, so we wanted top notch food. Everyone was blown away by the quality of the food!But most important, the staff are absolutely phenomenal! They are extremely professional and dedicated to the events they produce. Everything was seamless the day of and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our officiant was late, and they were able to find an alternative before we even knew there was an issue. At the last minute, they were able to swap the ceremony and cocktail hour and find another officiant for us. All of their preferred vendors were top notch and didn’t disappoint either. We used their preferred vendors for photography and floral and were thrilled with the results. If you want to throw a top notch wedding that your friends and family will talk about for years to come, this is the place to go.

This venue was an absolute dream. From the moment my now HUSBAND (Ah!) and I stepped into the marble lobby, we were sold. Due to the nature of the mansion, we had a European style reception. Essentially, just means we dined in the dining room and then moved to the ballroom after for dancing for the remainder of the night. It’s definitely different than what you get from many traditional venues, but we loved that. We were able to have great conversation at dinner and enjoy the meal spate from the DJ and dark ballroom.They venue itself is stunning! The grounds, the architecture, and detail are astounding. The mansion is 100 years old and sits set back off Northern Blvd allowing a gorgeous drive up a tree lined driveway. But in addition to this gorgeous building, the staff is INCREDIBLE! We worked with Rocio since we booked, but any and all staff had helped us at one point or another. Always so responsive and accommodating. We had Jose for our matree’d and Kristen as my day-of bridal attendant. This team is ALL OVER IT! I truly trusted them with every detail and because of them, the entire day was flawless! As a control freak myself, it’s difficult for me to entrust the details to someone else, but I felt assured by this awesome team.Now for the food… absolutely delicious. My fiancé and I attended a bridal showcase at de Seversky right before booking with our parents where we tasted the delicious passed hors’derves and station food. The Chef at de Seversky is unbelievable! Every bite was delicious and EVERYONE was raving about the grandiose cocktail hour and perfectly cooked steak for dinner… never mind the truffle mashed potatoes, the food was truly a huge hit which was an important factor to us.The night was truly magical, accented by the stunning details and wonderful staff at de Seversky Mansion.

The de Seversky Mansion gave me my dream wedding. My friends and family seriously refer to our wedding as the \"Wedding of the Century,\" and that is all due to the unbelievable staff at the de Seversky Mansion. There is so much to write about the de Seversky Mansion so I will just hit some of the ultimate highs. First, everything was so organized the day of the wedding. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour to dinner and dancing- there was never anything I had to worry about. Second, the Mansion is so well-kept, clean and just stunning. There are very few venues that you get to have all to yourself. We did a European-style wedding and got to really spend time in all different parts of the mansion. While the pictures look incredible, de Seversky is even more speculator in person.Third, the staff is top-notch. Jessica Wontz is a rockstar and bent over backwards to make sure my day was perfect. She would talk to me on weekends and calm me down as I freaked out about wedding prep. Jessica is also extremely organized and professional. She really became a friend throughout the process! We feel so beyond grateful to have her part of our wedding planning process. Also, Jose, our maitre, was the absolute best. He made sure that everything the night of wedding was perfect. He was so professional and really ran the Mansion like a well-oiled machine. Fourth, the FOOD. No words to describe how delicious it was. This is not wedding food, it is seriously a gourmet meal. When our friends talk about our wedding they always say, \"the food was incredible and there was so much of it!\"I could go on and on, but overall the de Seversky was everything I wanted and more. They are an unbelievable wedding venue and if you can secure a date, book it! You will have the wedding of the year!

I wish we could have been a guest at our wedding! Firstly, the venue has to be one of the most beautiful mansions I've ever seen. It's tastefully decorated with ornate design that is not over the top. We got married 12/1/18 and the venue was decorated for Christmas which gave It such character- I highly recommend this for any winter brides ! Rocio was our sales coordinator & she made everything easy, streamlined and professional. Any questions I had were answered quickly and resolutely. We opted for the Gatsby style which was the coolest idea we had ever seen. Why should guests need to sit when you say to eat a salad?! We were very interested in having our guests do what THEY wanted. Whether that was eating, drinking, dancing or just sitting and catching up with family & friends. Nearly all of our 225 guests made their way into each part of the mansion throughout the party. There was never empty rooms or too full rooms. It really made our wedding special and quite unique. The food- WOW. Our tasting we were sad we wouldn't be experiencing all the food but our maitre'd Jose and all the staff were so amazing. They stole us and hid us in rooms filled with all our food choices so that we could enjoy too ! I think that made my husbands and mines day- we didn't miss out on our wonderful cuisine. All of the staff went above and beyond. There was never a dirty dish or empty glass left out too long; there was always someone there to help clean. My bridal attendant Melissa was exceptional. She followed my dress and made sure It didn't drag, grabbed me food and water and reminded me to just take it all in. I called her my caboose because she was always right behind me taking such wonderful care !The bars kept our guests very happy- with top shelf liquor and fun bartenders who were friendly and respectful ! I really have no negative comments - other then we wish they would let us do It again, like tomorrow! De Seversky, you outdid our expectations. Thank you again to all the staff that made our day happen.

With my side from Maryland, his side from Queens/LI/New Jersey, and most of our friends from the Tri-State area, it just made sense to get married in NY. Engaged in May 2017, we knew we wanted June or September of 2018 and narrowed down our venue selections for visits. After visiting de Seversky, we went to another Jersey City venue, but we could not stop thinking about the mansion. After making sure it checked off all the boxes, we brought my parents to the venue and they saw how much we loved it, so we booked it for 9/15/18!With what we thought was going to be a wedding for 220 (we ended up with about 180), they were hesitant that the space was going to be too crowded or the flow from room to room was going to be strange, but it was exactly everything I could have hoped for!My planner, Leah Weinberg of Color Pop Events, and Rocio Morello worked together seamlessly from what I saw and Rocio or Jessica was always there with a quick answer to a question I emailed in. The team at the mansion was top-notch, super professional, and my Dad was quite impressed with our tasting event, which was delicious (get the sea bass!).On the day-of, the bridal attendant team, maitre'd, and his staff were amazing, always inquiring if we were in need of anything and gently working through the timeline and getting people to the different rooms of the mansion as the night progressed from cocktails, to dinner in the dining room and atrium, to dancing in the ballroom.As soon as we stepped on campus at NYIT, we fell in love with de Seversky. Nothing else could come close and throughout the whole process, we felt genuinely cared for.

As soon as we walked into the elegant enterance, we were greeted by the most helpful wedding planner, Rocio. During the initial tour, she informed us of the wedding style options for our wedding- we ultimately chose the European style—which is where you choose one room to eat dinner and another room to dance in (this was a HUGE hit on the wedding day). The grounds were well manicured, and each room was a perfect reminder of the Gold Coast era. During the planning process, we were able to visit the mansion for several of their bridal show cases and for the tasting with our families! We were able to pick out the menu ahead of time- needless to say, everything from the tasting was at our wedding!Rocio was truly an angel! She made the planning process easy and enjoyable.

They told all of our guests during dinner that we would be moving to another room to dance.

The cocktail hour had an indoor/outdoor vibe were the guests could walk around the mansion. Everyone is still raving about the lamb chops and lobster tails served at cocktail hour. The dinner was amazing! When my husband and I walked around to thank our guests during dinner, every plate was empty! We served filet mignon, Chilean sea bass (phenomenal) and rosemary chicken.

Everything was extremely organized from our first appointment through the day of our wedding. We had a plan A (outside ceremony) and plan B (inside ceremony). Each option presented pure magic - we were fortunate to have our wedding on a beautiful summer day, and we utilized all the rooms in de severesky, outside and inside. However if we had to do everything inside it would have been phenomenal. Cocktail hour, dinner and dancing were all perfect following the ceremony. the food was delicious (no surprise since it’s a culinary institute!). Having our wedding at de severesky truly made a dream wedding into a reality - you can’t go wrong with this venue!

Our wedding was Saturday May 12th, 2018 at the de Seversky Mansion, and it was truly everything we ever could have wanted and beyond! My husband and I had never heard of this venue before starting our research, but when we pulled up to visit in March 2017, we knew right away this was a very special place. This was the first venue we toured and the only one we truly seriously considered. The class, grace, and elegance of the mansion itself, the grounds, and the staff is unmatched. We worked closely with Rocio from start to finish - she is the definition of a patient, organized, and knowledgable sales and event professional! She was incredibly responsive to us, along with our families, and was extremely timely and thorough in all communication. We were so pleased to work with her and we also had the good fortune to communicate with other members of the deSeversky staff throughout our planning process and on the day of the wedding - all of whom were just as awesome (the chef, the amazing maitre'Ds - Jose and Jackie, my lovely bridal attendant Kim, among several others). This made all the difference on our big day, and during the months and days leading up to the wedding, as we knew we could count on them to answer any questions quickly and thoroughly. All of our vendors, including and especially our coordinator, Kelli Teglas, were delighted to work with the staff at this venue. The planning and vendor resources provided to us by the venue were priceless. Note that it's highly recommended and financially optimal to choose from the list of preferred florists - we worked with Diana and her team at Petals Floral and Party Design in Locust Valley. Look no further than them - Diana is amazing to work with, sweet, and so talented, and our flowers were to die for! We also opted for one of the recommended cake bakers - Wonderful Wedding Cakes in Locust Valley. Kristan was awesome to work with and accommodated every request we had for our cake, even those requests (Nutella, fresh raspberries) that other bakeries could not. If you can, be sure to attend the Bridal Show at the venue - this was our first time sampling the venue's food and we were blown away. This is not typical wedding food! It was clear from everything we tried at the Bridal Show and from our tasting, which we did in January 2018, that the level of technique, expertise, and sophistication the chef brings to the table is well beyond anything we could have asked for. The same chef who prepared our tasting worked with us to assemble our menu, and he was the same chef present on our wedding day. The quality and beauty of the food didn't waiver one bit. The food at our wedding was abundant and varied, but there weren't piles of it, like you might see elsewhere. It didn't look or feel cheap or ridiculous in it's volume. It was presented in the most beautiful way possible. Our many special requests related to food and drink (royal wedding inspired welcome drinks, customized cuts of meat, specific flavor profiles for our desserts) were graciously accommodated. This goes without saying that virtually ALL of our requests for specifics were met and exceeded. Everything from the huge bridal suite, to the enclosed glass room for indoor ceremonies, to the grand piano, to the fountains, to the incredible landscaping, to the proximity to the city and our other vendors made this the perfect place to hold our wedding. We cannot say enough about this beautiful place and their amazing staff!

From the moment my now husband and I stepped foot on the property, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous and we had always wanted to get married in a gold-coast inspired mansion. Our wedding photos came out amazing and all of our guest raved about the food (which is rare, since most wedding venues usually serve sub-par food). We decided to go with the mansion style wedding, where there is no assigned seating, so our guest could really explore the mansion and blend with other guests that they would mostly likely not know. We thought that concept worked beautifully. Rocio, our coordinator was excellent and was very good at explaining answers to our questions and making suggestions. We were really needy and probably annoying but she really had patience for us. The day was beautiful and I wouldn't really change a thing. The only qualms we had were that the De Seversky attendants had difficulty keeping guest out while we were rehearsing and I was seen in my dress prematurely. We addressed the issue and they reacted immediately. We also had an issue after the wedding was over, since all of our things were thrown into a box, and our wedding topper was destroyed. Luckily, the bakery said they would replicate it, and it didn't ruin our day. Besides that, our day was everything we dreamed it would be, and I would highly recommended De Seversky to anyone who wants to have a wedding that people will talk about. It is definitely a very special venue and will always hold a piece of our hearts.

My wife and I loved everything about the de Seversky from beginning to end. We had the pleasure of working with Gina and the initial presentation was on point. The planning process was as organized as it gets and the attention to detail is impressive. She was very accommodating and really did make it so much easier on us. We were also very happy with all of the preferred vendor recommendations. Apart from the charm of the venue the food is excellent,and as important,is consistent. It’s always difficult to maintain a high level of food quality for 200+ people but the chef delivered without question and we received a ton of positive feedback from our guests. Hats off to the chef and whole kitchen staff. Our maitre d’ Jackie ran the show and it went off without a hitch. She really was great and couldn’t have been nicer. She read the crowd, coordinated with the MC and everything ran smooth without disruption. The bridal attendant Kim did not disappoint and went out of her way in every way that she could. In summary: classy venue that provides for incredible photography opps. with food second to none. Powerhouse staff from start to finish with flawless execution and smiles to boot. Hoping we get invited to a wedding here soon! Thank you again to all at de Seversky especially Gina, Jackie and Kim!!

Having our wedding at the mansion was the best decision we made that day. We loved all of our vendors, but de Seversky was by far the best. The staff was incredible, the food delicious, and our guests were SO very much entertained. The mansion gives you an option that most catering halls cannot, and that's the ability to make the party your own party. You as a couple write the script, no one else.My husband and I selected the Gatsby style reception and were thrilled with how everything came together. Leading up to the day, Rocio was incredible. The entire mansion staff, whomever was responsible for whatever, made no hesitation to contact us and set up a schedule to prepare. From the set-up, to the menu, to the tasting, to the payment plans, to day of, the process was exciting and will be remembered forever. Spending the best day of our lives here will forever be a treasured memory.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about the Deseversky Mansion and their staff.We looked at quite a few venues on Long Island and our vision kept bringing us back to this mansion. Actually, from our first visit there I felt it was the only venue where I wanted our wedding reception to take place. It is a step back in time with beautiful interior and grounds- even in the winter. Although our guest list was at the max for this venue, we decided to go with it and slightly adjust our numbers. We planned the European style reception and it was a huge success with our guests, many of whom had never experienced this type of reception.During the planning stages of our wedding, Jessica and Rocio were extremely accessible and responsive to any and all of our questions. They were easy to collaborate with and were open to new ideas to fit our needs.When wedding day arrived, the dependable staff at DS impressed us even more. Jackie and her team ran the reception to what I would call perfection, and it showed. My family and I were put at ease and could enjoy the entire day because the DS team was so helpful, punctual, and controlled the entire behind-the-scenes seamlessly. They were true professionals that made our event happen and really cared that it was our dream day.If we had to do our wedding over, we wouldn’t change a thing and we would come right back to this venue and staff.

My husband and I were married at de Seversky last spring. The day was better than we could have imagined and our guests are still telling us to this day that it was the best wedding they’ve been to. The mansion and grounds are beautiful and, as we chose the European style (dancing following dinner), we were able to utilize every room in the mansion. This really helped make our wedding unique, which was important to us. We also had our ceremony at de Seversky, and were lucky to have beautiful weather and be married outside. De Seversky offers several location options for the ceremony, one of which is a glass-enclosed room. This was our backup option in case of bad weather. Having this as a backup option relieved all weather related stress, as we knew we could be indoors for our ceremony if necessary, but still get the feeling of being outside. All of the staff were super nice and helpful, especially our sales consultant Jessica. Jessica was patient and accommodating, was happy to meet with us when requested, answered all of the questions we asked via email or phone, and provided tips and insight when appropriate. I don’t think our wedding would have been as perfect as it was without her. Another standout employee was the bridal attendant Joan. Joan helped me with things I didn’t even realize I needed help with, and really went above and beyond. For example, she brought my husband and me a plate of food during the cocktail hour since we were busy talking to our guests and probably wouldn’t have had a chance to enjoy it otherwise. Even though this was a small gesture, it was so thoughtful and really appreciated. The food at the cocktail hour and dinner was delicious! I would absolutely recommend de Seversky as a venue, and my husband and I are hoping we get invited to an event at de Seversky so we can enjoy everything all over again!

My husband and I chose De Seversky for our May 2014 wedding and besides deciding to marry each other it was the best decision we made for our wedding! Upon driving the winding road that leads to thre hidden mansion you know that you stumbled onto something truly magical and unique. The mansion seems to emerge form the trees and it screams grandeur and elegance. The grounds are impeccably kept and the photo opportunities around the mansion are abundant. The inside of the mansion is extremely well kept and not one inch is overlooked. We chose this venue specifically for its European style wedding which allows guests to fully experience the entire mansion. And I absolutely loved that we had exclusive use of the property. The food is amazing. Nothing like your standard wedding catering hall options. Our sales rep, Jessica was so approachable and we quickly hit it off. She truly made us feel that we were her one and only clients planning a wedding at the mansion. The entire staff was welcoming and accommodating, not just the night of our wedding, but each time we stopped by. Perhaps the biggest compliment one could give is that our family loved De Seversky so much that my sister and her husband chose to have their wedding reception here in May 2017. This place has truly become a part of our family. There is no other place like it.

You always worry about how the food will turn out at the actual event, but everyone loved it. The staff also really knew how to cater to the bride and I felt so special.

We went into wedding planning with such high expectations on what we wanted our day to be like. Mainly because we have both seen hundreds of weddings over our careers in the wedding industry. de Seversky not only met our expectations but truly excelled at exceeding them.Rocio was our consultant who was fabulous! I always felt like communicationand her level of customer service was exceptional. She was so attentive and responsive. Through this entire planningprocess, I have been grateful for the time you always took to help out with any questions or concerns we had. We appreciated her timely responses andall of the hard work she put in to make sure our concerns were addressed and we were taken care of. One of the main reasons we decided to look into de Seversky was because of all of the reviews we saw about the food. Every single item that was served at our wedding was nothing short of perfect. It is very apparent that the chef has a high level of finesse and passion for what he does. I am still getting texts and calls abouthow dinner was the “most amazing wedding food” our guests have ever experienced. To us, the artistry of what was served spanned so far beyond just “wedding food” He even took the time to customize meals for my husband and I and any guests who had allergies. I have a severe wheat allergy and my husband doesn’t eat beef or pork. They made sure we had plenty of options.The waitstaff was great. Melissa, our bridal attendant was there for us the day of every step of the way. She made herself so easily accessible andhelped with things that I did not even think of. She was so friendly and helpful the entire day from the second she arrived in the bridal suite. Another part of what made this such an amazing experience was being able to have Jackie as our Maitre’d. Out of every Maitre’d I’ve worked with or have had to communicate with, Jackie was sincerely the best. From start to finish, she was there for us the entire time the event was going on if and when we needed her. She is so warm and personable and we felt at ease with her running our party. She made us laugh & enjoy ourtime even more. But most importantly, we felt like a priority. I know that in this industry we see tons of weddings every week or month or what have you. But duringthe time of our event, we felt like we had her undivided attention and that we and our guests truly mattered. The amount of effort she put into making ourwedding such a huge success is a true measure of what the hospitality industry is all about!

Shortly after getting engaged my then fiancée and I began looking at venues from Manhattan, New Jersey and others in Long Island, but nothing quite compared to the beauty, uniqueness and hospitality at the mansion. My sister had her wedding reception here in 2014 and after looking at other venues I kept referring back to the mansion and to the experience I shared with her on her wedding day, nothing else compared! The planning process was a breeze with Anna and Jessica who were both extremely accommodating. Our wedding reception was perfect from start to finish, the grounds were meticulous, the food was superb and our guests still compliment our wedding as being one of the best they’ve ever attended! After having two family weddings there, the mansion almost feels like “home” and now that my husband and I are expecting our first child, we are planning to have our baby’s christening reception here as well!

They constantly eased my worries and made planning our big day truly enjoyable. The venue truly speaks for itself in terms of aesthetics. If you're looking to go back in time and host a party like Gatsby this is the place. The grounds are meticulously kept and everyone that works there is so professional and welcoming. The staff was very accommodating and let me stop by or schedule appointments whenever to stop in and review any questions I had.

We had our wedding this July at the de Seversky Mansion and we couldn’t have pictured a more perfect day! Upon our first meeting with Ana and then Jessica, we knew this is where we going to have our wedding. The grounds are beautiful, it is a gorgeous mansion with a warm cozy feel to it and we loved that. We had a European style wedding – highly suggested! It allows you to utilize the entire mansion and it’s different than most wedding venues on Long Island. Through out the planning process, Jessica was a trooper, consistently answering my emails and thousands of questions. Whenever I felt the need to come in and talk in person or see the mansion again for ideas, etc. Jessica made it happen. They were accommodating for all of our needs and wants. The day of my bridal attendant Joan was a God send. She was behind me every step of the way, with whatever I needed. Jackie our maître de, was awesome, she helped everything flow perfectly. As for the food – amazing! Everyone is still raving about how good it was. We didn’t do a first look, so our cocktail hour was taken over by pictures. I wish we got to eat during cocktail hour because everyone couldn’t stop talking about it! Although Joan the bridal attendant brought us a platter of food and Sushi (my husband would not take pictures without Sushi first so she made sure to bring it out right after the ceremony ☺) we didn’t really sit and enjoy but I wish we would have! For dinner, Joan made sure to ask which of the entrees we wanted and if we wanted more than one, they did a split plate, which looked and tasted amazing! (Another benefit of European style – you get to sit & enjoy dinner) Dessert was amazing as well – so many options, our guests loved it all! We even had them set up a Togo station with pretzels and donuts on the way out. I could go on and on but ultimately having our wedding there was the perfect decision and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! We are patiently waiting for another reason to go back!

I always wanted a mansion wedding but still wanted the cozy feel so the moment we toured the de Seversky I knew there was no need to look any further! We mainly worked with Jessica who is an absolute sweetheart! She was getting married a few months before us. If I wasn't already sold on the mansion, the fact that she was having her own wedding there told me just how wonderful of a venue it was! Every step of the way made us truly feel like it was our own mansion and we could have whatever we wanted for our day. Since it was a fall wedding we requested certain drinks like pumpkin beer and spiked Arnold Palmers and they were all for it! They even made the pumpkin spice beers with a sugar rim which our guests loved! When it came to food we asked for a few specific fall items such as butternut squash raviolis and desserts such as mini apple pies...Jessica made it happen! I can honestly say I don't think I was told \"no\" at any point in the planning process. Everyone at the mansion was so accomodating and just wanted to make sure we had the best day ever. When it came to our food tasting it was yet another great experience! We worked with Jonathan. Seeing that he was a big foodie like us made all of his recommendations even more promising. There wasn't a single item that we didn't like! When it came to the day of, everything was flawless. Jessica stayed to see that everything went smoothly for the ceremony and she even stood with me to help calm my nerves before walking down the aisle! We had a few little kids in our wedding party and as we all know it can be a little hectic with kids at a wedding but Jonathan was right there getting them all together and keeping them occupied as everyone waited to go down the aisle.Gabby was my bridal attendant for the day and she was wonderful! She was there if I needed her and was also thoughtful in bringing me water on the dance floor or bringing my husband and I some food throughout the night. As crazy as it sounds, one of our favorite moments of the night was right before the reception started. Gabby had us sit down together away from everyone just to soak everything in and enjoy some food before the party started. It was such a great moment that we'll always remember! We highly recommend the de Seversky. You are guaranteed to have an amazing wedding and delicious food! Almost two years later and people still rave about what a great time they had at our wedding and what a beautiful place the mansion is!Thank you again to the incredible staff at the de Seversky Mansion!-Stephanie & Tyler10-22-15

We had our wedding at De Seversky this past April. We worked with mostly Gina and Jessica in the planning. They were both great to coordinate with and really tried to work with us as best they could to ensure the day went as we wanted. Also, working with Joan and Jackie on the day of was great, both helped ensure everything went smoothly that day. So many of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have been to. The mansion itself is beautiful, and the food was amazing. We actually got to try a good amount of the food that day thanks to Joan! I would highly recommend checking out this venue. It is really unique and the team does a great job!

The people are also great – Gina was so patient, personable, and helpful! And the service on the actual day/night was outstanding. (Shout out to Joan, our bridal attendant and Jackie, the maitre’d!) They really helped keep us on schedule. No need for a wedding planner if you go with de Seversky as they are helpful with every step of the process! The father of the groom is still raving about the food, which was amazing. Overall, truly made our day stress-free and beautiful. If there's a free weekend, book it!

The De Seversky mansion and its employees were incredible from start to finish. Jessica was the most professional, flexible and understanding sales rep I've encountered. With both my husband and I being in sales it was so refreshing not to feel like I was being sold on an idea but more so educated on the different options and offerings with no pressure added. She answered every question with the upmost honesty and expertise. She also stayed for the event until the very end which was completely unexpected - even helped us bustle mid way through! She was truly invaluable to the process. Jackie, our maitre de, was hired on a bit after signing our contract. I am admittedly a control freak with a habit of meticulous planning and was uncomfortable with the idea that I didn't know her going in. As I went for my final appointment Jackie exceeded my every expectation. She was so down to earth and easy to talk to. She understood my vision and took note of all of my intricate details. She even asked a few questions that I hadn't though of previously. The night was executed flawlessly. Joan, the bridal attendant, was the sweetest and most thoughtful god send. She greeted us at the door with glasses of celebratory champagne and before I could properly thank her was fixing my train and my veil so that the photographer could capture the moment. She was like superwoman and flash combined - she was everywhere without me ever noticing. She was stealth with grabbing food for dinner and conveniently placing it wherever we were on the off chance we could grab a bite! She even went back into the kitchen for some extra buffalo chicken rolls (MUST HAVE)Speaking of food, it was first class! Not only was it delicious but also beautifully displayed. My sister in law is a chef and even she was blown away. We had a Gatsby style wedding with plenty of variety when it came to the menu and everything was superb. People are still raving about the spread! In short, they made it so that we could truly enjoy ourselves. No one asking us for directions on what we wanted or timelines, etc. They are true professionals who understand how important the day is to you and your family. I could not have asked for anything better!

The staff at NYIT de Seversky Mansion are some of the nicest, most professional people I have met in planning our wedding. Gina in sales was responsive, honest, and helpful from start to finish. Oscar (maître d') and Joan (bridal attendant) were always by our side and helped us throughout the entire day- the service was phenomenal! Our wedding day was stress free and flawless with their help- my husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding without worrying about the details. Joan made plates of food for us during cocktail hour (so appreciated!!) and made sure we were hydrated. Stacy addressed all our dietary concerns during our tasting and made sure appropriate meals were provided for our reception (there was a small mix up on the wedding day, but they quickly rectified the issue). The food and chef are incredible- everyone enjoyed every bite. Thank you for the beautiful memories.

There are not enough great things to say about the mansion and staff at De Seversky! Rocio (our coordinator), Jane (our bridal attendant), and Oscar (our Maitre D') all went above and beyond on our special day. The food was incredible (which is not something you often hear at a wedding) and the mansion was absolutely stunning. Although it's pricier than your typical wedding venue on Long Island, it was worth every penny. We we married in the Garden Room and had our reception in the Ballroom but our guests were free to roam. With 120 guests it was a little tight with 10 tables but no one complained. The only negative thing was that they ran out of two light beers, but it didn't impact myself or the groom. I would recommend anyone to book there not only for the beauty of the venue, but the extraordinary service provided by everyone we encountered.

My husband and I got married here in August and everything exceeded our expectations. The entire process from the beginning to the end was a lot less stressful thanks to Ana. She was constantly in touch with me and helping answer any questions and needs I had. She also fulfilled all of our requests to really make our day unbelievable. Everyone is still talking about how amazing the venue and the food was. There was a little bit of miscommunication between the Maitre D and our other vendors, specifically the photographers, so they happened to miss some important moments. My only complaint would be that it was difficult to work with one person the entire time and then have a completely different person there the day of. This caused a little bit of confusion the night of the wedding. Other than that everything was great.

My now husband and I were on a serious hunt for the perfect wedding venue. We wanted something unique and elegant and not a typical tacky wedding hall. I was beginning to lose hope when I finally found the NYIT de Seversky Mansion online. As soon we pulled up and could see the mansion in the distance, I knew this was the venue for us. Even the drive up is gorgeous! The outside, grounds and surrounding area are well manicured and so classic. I literally had tears in my eyes as I was touring the mansion because I couldn't believe we had found such an amazing place for our reception. We chose to do a European style reception which I was a little nervous about because it's different from the norm but our guests (and us) LOVED having the sit down dinner in the beautiful ballroom uninterrupted by dancing. And it really made the night so exciting moving from space to space as the reception progressed. \rThe food at the mansion is outstanding! Our wedding was 6 months ago and we are still hearing from friends and family how amazing and plentiful the food was. The mansion hit cocktail hour out of the park. Sometimes wedding food is mediocre at best but everything I tasted was so delicious and so beautifully displayed. All of our guests had favorites and won't stop telling me about them! The chef attended stations are so impressive and guests loved them. We opted for the higher priced liquor package and it was worth it. Our guests couldn't believe the bartenders were pouring Macallan etc. Dinner was incredible and the service was beyond anything us and our guests have ever experienced. It was true white glove service. Dessert was spectacular too and our guests went nuts over the waffle ice cream bar not to mention it smelled so amazing. \rIn terms of the service team, I can't say enough about them. Jessica and Ana helped us plan the wedding and were both super helpful and always available. Not one question went unanswered and they always made sure we were fully satisfied. They are both so sweet and made the experience so personal and special for us. Virginia was our maître d' and she was absolutely incredible too. She made sure that our 180 person wedding went perfectly from the moment we arrived for pictures to the very end of the night. We had an issue with the bus shuttle company and she was on it immediately and helped resolve it. Her whole staff that night was so wonderful. Joan literally trailed my husband and I during cocktail hour with plates of appetizers so we could enjoy the food as we mingled with our guests. We probably would not have eaten at cocktail hour if it wasn't for Joan. During dinner, she made sure we had everything we needed. \rThe mansion looked spectacular the night of our wedding and the staff helped to keep our schedule and vendors on track. We didn't have to worry about one thing the entire night since the NYIT de Seversky team was prepared with our timeline and executed everything to perfection. Our wedding was absolutely everything we imagined and more and I can't stress enough how much I recommend this venue. My husband and I have been to so many weddings and nothing comes even close to comparing. Our wedding photos are also to-die-for; I have gotten a million compliments, even from non-guests, that our wedding looked incredible from the photos and the venue played such a big role in that. The price is certainly on the higher end but totally worth every dollar spent. Our wedding was nothing short of perfection.

We had a Mansion-Style (now called Gatsby) at DeSeversky Mansion in July. My wife and I loved this unique style, but we did have some reservations in regard to how people would react. You see, there's no assigned seating. People can move about the five different rooms. We thought this might alienate some guests. Boy, were we wrong!\r\rEvery time we see someone that attended our wedding, they cannot stop talking about how they enjoyed it. Have heard \"It was the best wedding I've ever been to\" dozens of times. Though people spread out, each room felt full enough, so it didn't seem like something was missing. People mingled and moved about the space freely. Those who wanted to dance, did. Those who wanted quiet, they went to the outside area. We saw them all, and it truly felt like we lived in a mansion for one night.\r\rWhat made this work so well was the staff at DeSeversky. I can't give them enough credit. Each person did their job in outstanding fashion. I missed the cocktail hour. Jonathan asked what I wanted. I said the duck rolls. He brought me a bowl of them. Ditto for anything else. I ate more at my wedding than I did at many others. My wife ate too.\r\rDid I mention the food? Top-shelf! With so many choices, our guests raved. No sit-down, run-of-the-mill dinner here. People had plenty of time to eat, and the food was fresh. Don't think buffet, think stations. My teenage nieces and nephews went nuts for the food too. Never heard kids that age even care about such things.\r\rJessica helped set everything up from Day One to our food tasting to every minor detail. Nothing went wrong. My bride got the magical day she deserved and I got to sit back and watch her light up the room and saw my family and friends truly enjoying themselves.\r\rDeSeversky surely is a special place to have a wedding. But please, if you choose this venue, don't miss out on the unique Gatsby-style. Your guests will talk about it for years to come. I'm telling you, I have a cousin who has attended weddings that U.S. Presidents have been at, and she was the first to say this was the best wedding she'd ever been to. And she doesn't just say things.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL IN EVERY WAY!!!! My fiancé and I dreamed of a Gatsby-esque mansion style reception and ceremony with a focus on great food and drinks. The NYIT De Seversky mansion turned our vision and ideas into the wedding we dreamed about. The result exceeded our expectations and vision. \r \rOur coordinator Ana Garcia was extremely helpful from the first day we stopped by the mansion. She has not only been very responsive, personable, accommodating, but she was a integral part in making our dream wedding come true. I cannot say enough good things about Ana and the entire staff at De Seversky and they are truly a cut above the rest. When Ana wasn’t available Jessica or another staff seamlessly stepped in to help if they were able to. Leading up to selecting De Seversky we stopped by a couple dozen venues on the island, but for us one compared to the De Seversky mansion. The care, attention to detail, service, quality of food, coordination assistance, and personalization is worth every penny (if not more). Ana and the rest of the staff made us feel like family and they went above and beyond at every moment in the journey.\r \rWe also had our ceremony on site and the staff was amazing in assisting us with the coordination of the ceremony. If you are amenable to having your ceremony on site I highly recommend it. \r \rDuring our reception on September, 6th 2015 we felt like rock stars and received service that exceeded any of top restaurants or hotels that we have stayed in. Our Matire D’ Jonathon was also more than we could have ever asked or hoped for. He was enthusiastic when needed, calming when needed, and seemed to think of things we never thought of, then took action to make everything perfect. Not only was the day flawlessly orchestrated, but he also ensured that our every question or request was fulfilled near immediately. Jonathan and the entire staff’s ensured that we got to enjoy our food and drink while mingling with guests. I can confidently say that they created the most extravagant and enjoyable day of my life and I cannot wait to return to NYIT De Seversky in the future for another occasion. I have also been receiving consistent feedback from the guests that this wedding was one of, if not the most fun weddings they have ever been to in their lives (including their own). \r\rOne last thing we valued was a LGBT friendly venue and staff. The staff didn’t even blink an eye and was polite and respectful with everything. \r \rIn summary you can spend months visiting and researching almost every venue on Long Island or in Manhattan, but you will never find a place that will top the service, value, quality, love, and attention to detail that you will receive from the staff at the NYIT De Seversky mansion. Look no further your venue search is over. We only hope we get to come back to the De Seversky Mansion as guests.\r

We honestly cannot say enough about the deSeversky Mansion as a venue. The building and grounds are wonderfully maintained. The food is unbelievably good, 5 star restaurant quality and in abundance all night. Most importantly, the staff and service was like nothing we could have ever expected. Everything was done flawlessly. The staff was so professional and extremely attentive (they use headsets and coordinate throughout the mansion's many rooms). We were probably asked 100x if we needed anything throughout the night from just about every server or bartender which may be expected for the bride and groom but our guests said they had the same experience. The servers were even automatically refilling any drinks that were empty when the person was not at the table during dinner. We asked for 1 or 2 scallops to split from one of the other entree options and they brought us 8 sea scallops with our entrees. The bridal party got ready at the venue and we brought bagels and cream cheese. The venue supplied fruit, cheese, crackers, OJ, cranberry juice and champagne. They also supplied the men's \"pub\" area on the other side of the mansion with soft drinks and lunch foods (pasta salad, etc.). From our experience we know we could have asked for anything and they would have brought it. All of the staff always had smiles on their faces. The coordinators for the night, Damien and Virginia, were amazing. About half an hour before leaving we realized we were be able to drive back to the hotel instead of taking the shuttle. They took our key and loaded everything into the car before we left through a back door including the left over cake and extra centerpieces no one took. Our planner, Jessica, was absolutely amazing. She worked with us through all the planning and was extremely responsive via email or calls. She was there for the rehearsal and the day of the wedding until about midday where she transitioned to Anna and Virginia for the bridal suite needs. The day was flawless and we owe it all to the staff of the deSeversky Mansion.

There are literally no words. It is just flawless. We viewed about seven or eight venues before discovering the deSeversky Mansion at NYIT campus. It's a little known secret, and I'd say about 90% of the people who asked where we were getting married had this clueless look on their face when I told them, but with the 10% that DID know of it, their eyes lit up. It's a beautiful turn of the century mansion in Old Westbury, currently on the NYIT campus. The best part is that they haven't altered it. There are some similar places on the island, but these places have kept the mansion exterior and gutted the inside to turn it into just another catering hall. But at deSeversky, all the rooms and decor is the same as it was a hundred years ago. It's absolutely gorgeous. We booked about 22 months out, and about a year out I was told that the contact person who we had been assigned to was leaving and I was given a new person. I was anxious at first, but Jessica Piccirillo was AMAZING. She answered all my emails immediately, and anything I asked for was granted right away. The planning was seamless, there were no qualms when I asked for things that weren't on the menu, and there was nothing they said 'no' to. We didn't really have a theme, I just wanted classic and elegant. I don't like color changing lights or techno-loving DJs or spray painted flowers. I wanted a really fun but still really elegant event. And our dream was completely delivered on.\rThe day of, everything was just flawless. Damien, the maitre'd, was impeccable and made every last thing run smoothly. If anything went wrong, I was and still am completely oblivious to it because to me, the day was perfect. Jessica was with me when we were all lined up for the ceremony, and she fixed my veil and train and was very calming (we didn't do a 'first look' so obviously I was very nervous!). Damien told everyone when to go and it was perfect. The food is AMAZING. That's one part I'm super proud of, we didn't have your typical wedding food. We had delicious, five star food that everyone raved about. Even our foodie friends were super impressed. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and our cigar bar was a surprisingly huge hit with what seemed like half the wedding out on the terrace enjoying the cigars by the fire pits! \rDamien made sure our overnight bags were tucked away in the Bentley before our sparkler send-off, which he also coordinated perfectly. And he also put in the car our favorite food from cocktail hour that we didn't get to enjoy at the time because we were so busy! People always say that Oheka is the fanciest and most impressive venue on the island, and I couldn't disagree more. If you have a wedding party of under 140, you NEED to go to deSeversky. You won't regret it. \r

I can't say enough but the venue is gorgeous, private, and well-staffed. It is reasonably priced but just like the mansion, the staff and the food are top notch! Everyone complimented how beautiful the venue was and how professional the staff was...and how delicious the food was. I highly recommend it if you want a beautiful wedding.

NYIT de Seversky made my wedding the best experience ever. The planners and major D and servers were all very nice and accommodating. We did the European style and our guests loved it. The food was amazing and lived up to its reputation. They were really thoughtful of us, they brought us appetizers in the bridal suite during cocktail hour to give us some alone time. They ushered everyone to where they needed to be. I had no worries in the world on my wedding day and it allowed me to really enjoy the day. The mansion is beautiful alone and gave a homey feel, which is what we wanted. This is the place to have any special event!!!

This venue is a hidden treasure. The mansion and grounds are beyond beautiful. Gabrielle is very responsive, at all hours of the day. She truly is a professional and great at what she does. The food got rave reviews from all our guests and the staff (waiters, bartenders, maitrde) were all amazing.
