Truly everything I could have ever wished for and more for my wedding venue. Everyone, from the owner, Nick, to Ian, who answered every single one of my many questions, to the staff that was working the day of my wedding and made sure that everything I could possibly need was there, was truly amazing and I would recommend them a million times over for any event. They really know how to make everything special and make sure your vision for your day comes to life. When we met with Nick the very first time, he mentioned how his brides become family, and that was exactly how it felt. Waiting to walk down the isle, he stood there and made sure to compliment everyone in my bridal party and even spoke to me for a few minutes as well. It was like having an uncle there wishing me well. Aside from the staff, the food is incredible. I come from a very big Italian family, and everyone couldn't stop talking about how much they loved the food and how great everything was. There was definitely no shortage of food at our wedding and every \"extra\" station that we paid for was well worth it. Truthfully, I don't think those extra stations were even necessary, because the \"basic\" menu comes with a ridiculous amount of food, but it was incredible, nonetheless. I was actually sad when my day was over knowing that I wouldn't be in contact with these people for a while, but I have no doubt we'll be planning more events here in the future. Thank for you making all of my wedding wishes come true Sea Cliff! Reviewed on 10-11-2023

The venue's stunning architecture, manicured grounds, and breathtaking views of the water created a romantic and magical atmosphere that left our guests in awe.What truly set Sea Cliff Manor apart was the exceptional service we received. Ian, the maître d', and Camille, our bridal attendant, were the stars of the evening. They were not just there to facilitate our day; they anticipated our needs, ensuring everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes.

We got engaged the summer of 2021 and after looking at a few more traditional catering halls in the Bronx and Westchester, Sea Cliff was the greatest choice my husband and I could have made. The location, features, and finishes sold us and we booked as soon as we finished the tour. Leading up to our date the Sea Cliff team was professional and really made that part of wedding planning very easy. Our day at the venue could not have been more picture perfect and all that Sea Cliff had to offer was executed to perfection. We had about 120 guests and everyone raved about the food, the atmosphere, and the service from the staff. Ian and Daniella our bridal attendant were amazing and truly felt like family that night. We never had to worry about anything. Only the highest praises for Sea Cliff Manor and anyone who books with them is in incredible hands. Truly a gem in the realm of Long Island wedding venues.

I had my wedding reception at Sea Cliff Manor on August 24, 2023. I never imagined I would feel this happy after my wedding day it’s literally all I can think about. I wish I could re-live it. I’m so happy we chose Sea Cliff Manor to celebrate our special day. We have our friends and family messaging us saying how much fun they had and how it was the best night. Nick made us feel like we were apart of the family from the start when we were just checking out the venue. Donna assisted us a lot leading up to the big day and was super informative and helpful. Ian was a master maitre d’ and I really don’t know how he does it. He’s brilliant. He made everything run so smoothly and I was so thankful he was there! My bridal attendant was Camille and she was AMAZING! Literally best bridal attendant I could ask for. She made sure I ate and was taken care of. And she’s also just an awesome person to talk to. I suffer from bad anxiety and they all made me feel at ease. The rest of the staff were just as amazing. They all made sure our guests were taken care of. My only regret is being disappointed in the weather. It wasn’t supposed to rain that day and it did. We were looking forward to an outdoor cocktail hour since they have such a beautiful outdoor space in the garden. Cocktail hour ended up being inside and the staff set it up beautifully and it looked amazing. It gave our guests an opportunity to explore the beautiful rooms of the inside (especially the speakeasy!) Guests were still going outside during the reception to check it out. It really was the most amazing day. The Staff at Sea Cliff Manor really went above and beyond. I remember when we first went to check out the venue, a bride was walking in to pick up her things from her wedding the night before and she said to me “if you’re on the fence just do it. It was amazing here you won’t regret it.” And she really was right. I couldn’t imagine a better venue to have our reception at and we will cherish these memories forever. Thank you Sea Cliff Manor!

My husband and I are still buzzing from our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor! Our wedding was the best day of our lives. From the beautiful grounds at the venue, to the amazing food, and above-and-beyond staff, you really can't choose a better venue.Everyone that works there are truly the best at what they do. From our initial meeting with Nick, to the tasting and planning meets with Ian, to the actual wedding day, everyone we encountered were absolute professionals and so easy to work with. It truly feels like you are part of the Sea Cliff family. Ian's energy is unmatched. He was hyping us up and getting us excited the weeks leading up to the wedding. My husband and I didn't even have to think about anything on the day of our wedding. He was so calm, organized, and attentive. Even our family members kept commenting on how great he was!Camille the bridal attendant was my savior! The wedding day is so busy you don't realize that you've barely eaten anything. She prepared a separate table at the cocktail hour with plates of food for my husband and I and made sure we sat down and ate. I didn't realize how bad I needed the food until we started eating. She also made sure we always had a drink in our hand :)You are in amazing hands at SCM! We wish we could do it all over again and our friends & family feel the same. Reviewed on 10-07-2023

Sea Cliff Manor will truly make your wedding dreams come true!! My husband, family, and friends all raved about the space, the view, the food, and the staff! Ian was absolutely phenomenal at all stages of the wedding process (pre-wedding and day of) - he is very detail oriented, communicative, and kind, and on the day of my wedding, took care of everything, allowing my husband and I to feel as relaxed as possible. Ian was so well organized pre and during the wedding - he was so responsive to all questions and gave really helpful suggestions. On the day of my wedding, everything was decorated the way we asked, the schedule flowed really well, and our dream day was executed perfectly. All of the other staff members, especially the bridal attendant Camille, were also so kind and helpful, and we really enjoyed working with everyone. We would very highly recommend having your wedding at Sea Cliff Manor! Reviewed on 21-06-2023

We booked over 2 years in advance and the entire process leading up to and including our wedding day was so seamless. They really cater to exactly what your wedding vision is and execute flawlessly. Ian is a wedding wizard and with him running the show we never had to worry for one second about anything. Our guests raved about the food and how amazing and attentive the entire wait staff was.

Samantha Byrnes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-04-2023 I truly could not recommend Sea Cliff Manor more. From our first tour to our wedding day, they have been nothing short of amazing. Ian, Nick, Camille and the entire staff there are so wonderful and truly love the venue and care so much about the couples. Our expectations were completely exceeded (and we had very high expectations). They were so responsive and helpful in the year/months/days leading up to my wedding with any questions I had. The day of my wedding called for thunderstorms all day and a block of sun in between. Sea Cliff was so flexible in choosing whether things would be inside or outside, and so reassuring to me that no matter what happened it would be the perfect day. The ceremony ended up outside and cocktail hour inside. It was PERFECT. All of our guests were constantly complimenting how amazing the food, staff, venue was. The people are truly are what make Sea Cliff so special. It was absolutely the most perfect day and I am so happy we got married at Sea Cliff Manor. Reviewed on 10-04-2023

They answered all my questions up until the final days before the wedding. I can’t say enough amazing things about sea cliff they are just so wonderful!

Amanda Kear(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-11-2022 From the minute we first met Nick on our tour we knew this venue was a perfect fit. This was our first tour, we saw 3 more venues, and quickly ran back. This place makes you feel like family every step of the way, and they are just amazing to their couples and their families. Ian is a creative genius, and I kind of gave him the creative liberty of setting up some HP decor as he saw fit, and they were above and beyond my expectations. Knowing he was a fan as well absolutely helped. They made my off beat dark, romantic, Harry Potter themed vision come to life. They handled every bump along the way with ease - and I know we ran late for sure. I was very worried and felt sooo bad, but they put me at ease. The food is TO DIE FOR. Cocktail hour was something out of this world. We had so so much food and everything was better than imagined. The outdoor area was gorgeous with the sunset during the ceremony and cocktail hour area. We brought in cake and they gave us a dessert of warm apple cobbler, and we added on the 3 passed desserts, along with the lamb chops for cocktail hour - SO WORTH IT! The room size may be limiting for some with larger guest counts. We had ~115 people but had PLENTY of room to spare. This venue is such a hidden gem - their popularity is growing exponentially, and it is well deserved. Their newly renovated bridal suites, a speakeasy with a covered porch outside the French doors, and gorgeous fireplaces are just some of the recent updates. No carpet in the ballroom either! We booked prior to these updates and were updated pretty regularly along the way. My guests have spoken very highly of the service, food & drinks, and their amazing staff. They made sure my mother who has serious back and leg/mobility issues was comfortable the whole night. I will recommend them forever to anyone and am so happy to have worked with them.

Lien Luu(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 We began looking for venues in early 2021 and when we stepped into Sea Cliff we knew it was different. It wasn’t your typical big banquet halls but it had so much character and charm. We knew we had to book this place but because of the pandemic, the next available Saturday wasn’t until mid November of 2022. We decided it was worth it and it was easily the best decision ever. They made so many upgrades since we initially toured the venue so that was a bonus for the wait. The cocktail hour was beautiful, everyone is still talking about it. Everything from the view to the staff and food here are amazing. Definitely worth every penny. Reviewed on 02-01-2023
Nicole Murphy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2022 My husband and I knew we wanted to get married at Sea Cliff Manor 5 minutes into our tour and initial meeting with the owner Nick. Every single interaction afterwards only solidified the fact that Sea Cliff Manor was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding. The first thing you need to know about this venue is that the food is the best food you will ever eat at a wedding. The list of options to choose from is so extensive and exquisite that you can’t go wrong with any choice. Even something as small as passed hors d’oeuvres were highly enjoyable but The stuffed rigatoni is by far our favorite dish. The bridal attendant and maitre’d (Camille and Ian) will make sure you have enough time to eat as well. The venue itself was beautiful that we didn’t have to worry about adding decor other then the centerpieces and some greenery/candles. From the fireplace we used as the background of our indoor ceremony to the speakeasy bar, the charm of the venue speaks for itself. Having a groom suite as well as a bridal suite was a great touch as well. Ian worked extremely hard to fit our wintery theme into the decor of the venue and when we walked in during the day of the wedding the venue was even more beautiful then I could have even imagined. We chose the rest of our vendors using their preferred vendors list and every choice they recommended worked in great harmony. It made everything so much easier with planning knowing that our entire wedding staff had worked together before and it showed during our wedding day. The entire staff, especially Ian and Donna, are beyond helpful from the moment you sign on to even after your wedding and were amazing with answering questions, providing suggestions, and assisting with any special request we had for them. During the day of our wedding, Ian and Camille were so amazing with organizing everything and helping us to make sure every little detail was executed perfectly. We were concerned about having to have the wedding indoors due to our December date but the Sea Cliff Team could not have made it smoother. They swiftly converted the indoor ceremony space for the cocktail hour and once again into the reception. The venue perfectly fit all 120 guests indoors as well as our rather large chuppah for the ceremony. We were extremely happy with how our wedding turned out and the biggest reason was because we chose to get married at Sea Cliff Manor. I hope we find ourselves invited to another event here real soon. Thank you Ian, Nick, Camille, Donna, Jim and the entire Sea Cliff team for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

Nick and Ian were beyond helpful throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions promptly and with reassurance. I knew we were in good hands going into our big day. They also treat you like family and don’t up sell you. Many friends have told me about their experiences at other venues and it made me so thankful we had the team and venue we did. They really want you to have the most special day. You forget you are one of many weddings they do a year because they truly treat you like you are a priority. The bridal attendant (forgot her name!) was so nice, bustled my dress, made sure we are, always made sure there was a drink on our hand and was always there anticipating our needs.

Shana Power(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-08-2021 We got married during Hurricane Henri when literally every other venue on Long Island closed — but not Sea Cliff! They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process, and extra so the weekend of — ensuring that my husband and I were comfortable with the rain plans the entire time. They also do not charge tent fees! So it’s not your responsibility to find a tent company last minute if the forecast changes. In addition to the amazing customer service of the entire Sea Cliff team (shout out to our day-of coordinator Ian!) the place is just absolutely gorgeous. If you’re going for the cozy, romantic, better-than-your-own-backyard wedding aesthetic — Sea Cliff is the place! You don’t need to go wild on decorations because the house itself is so beautiful and charming. From the beautiful seats to using actual bone china for your dishes, they truly think of everything to make your experience one-of-a-kind. I literally could not have gotten married without them!

Juliana Spano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-07-2022 If you are looking to have an outdoor ceremony, you should really consider this venue. The natural beauty of Sea Cliff Manor cannot be beat. Our ceremony was so beautiful, I still get emotional thinking about it. Even the views of the water inside the venue are spectacular. It is definitely a non-traditional venue that has a more intimate feel - not like a large catering hall. My one concern was the layout of the dance floor (the dining tables do not surround the dance floor, they are to the side of the dance floor) but now that I had my wedding I actually much prefer this layout, because it allowed guests to enjoy their dinner and have some separation for guests who wanted to talk instead of dance the whole time. The staff is also first class. Ian, our maitre'd, helped make our day so special - he understood and perfectly executed everything we wanted. They are very accommodating and will work with you if there is something you really want done and they are constantly updating and improving their building and food options to make every detail memorable. Even their food is unique, fun and tastes amazing. Sea Cliff truly made our wedding the best day of our lives and I would pick this venue over any other again in a heartbeat. Reviewed on 07-08-2022

Not only is the venue absolutely gorgeous and so unique, but we felt at home right away. Renovations continued to be done throughout our planning process and every time we visited it looked better and better (which was just an added bonus because we fell in love with the venue prior to all the renovations). Words cannot describe how wonderful, helpful, thoughtful, creative, and kind Ian (the maitre d') is. Our wedding day was absolutely PERFECTTTT and Ian is truly to thank for that. He is SO good at what he does and goes above and beyond to make your day special. I could go on and on about how much we love and appreciate him and all he did to make our day unforgettable. After our wedding, we heard many comments from guests that it was the BEST wedding they've ever been to (and one in particular who said the filet mignon was the \"best piece of meat he's ever eaten\").

The grounds and atmosphere is beyond beautiful. We just got married this last Saturday 6/4 and it truly makes me so sad the whole journey is over. From the moment we walked into the doors at SCM for our tour, we were captivated by Ian's passion, knowledge and confidence. Our experience with Ian at that tour sealed the deal for us and we knew there was no other place that compared (especially after going on a few others). We had a long engagement and it brought us comfort that Ian was still there 2 years later through COVID and not only was he still there but he also made even more beautiful renovations in that time. Additionally, the food tasting was incredible. Ian reassured me the entire way that everything was going to be smooth and it would be the best wedding and he 100% followed through on that. Guests are still talking about how incredible the food was, how personable the wait staff was, how beautiful the whole wedding was and how smooth and professional Ian ran everything. It was truly the most magical day of my life and I simply could not imagine it being done at any other venue. The weather was perfect, which made the cocktail hour and ceremony everything I dreamt of and more. I wish I could relive this day 1000 times!

Georgianna Timal(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-05-2022 Sea Cliff Manor was maybe only the second or third venue we visited, but we knew from the moment we walked through the doors that we found our place. With Sea Cliff Manor, you're not getting a cookie-cutter wedding hall, nor are you treated like just another couple. When you're with them, you have their full, undivided attention, and you're treated like an old friend, or a member of their extended family. Nick, the owner, welcomes you with open arms into the venue, listens to you and what you want for your big day, and carefully walks you through the options. He's never pushy or sales-y. The food options are the best you'll find anywhere. It's all home-cooked, and the offerings are fun and creative. Standouts include Tito's & Burritos, the Tour of Italy cocktail station (chicken parm!!), the Peter Luger station, and the hors d'oeuvres. The cherry on top of it all was the service -- especially Ian, the maitre d, and Camille, the bridal attendant. Ian answered all our emails and calls quickly and was with us every step of the way leading up to our big day. He truly is an asset to Sea Cliff.

The venue is also newly redone and looks so beautiful, especially the new ready rooms which you get for the whole day. It rained a little and the staff carried umbrellas over each guest to get to the ceremony tent. The venue is very affordable compared to other local venues including NO admin fee.

Elizabeth De Jesus(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-04-2022 Sea Cliff was the first wedding venue my husband and I toured for our wedding and it was the one we could not stop thinking about. It is not your typical “cookie cutter” venue and it has an intimate charm that is incomparable. We met with Nick the owner during our tour and he instantly made us feel at home. Nick even sent us a handwritten thank you card for touring Sea Cliff, and for us, that sealed the deal for us in booking them for our April 2022 wedding.During the pandemic, Nick and his staff (Ian, Donna, etc.) were so responsive to any and all of our questions and I never felt like I was being a nuisance to them. They all reassured us that our wedding would be the best day ever and they all definitely calmed my nerves.In preparation for the wedding, we attended a tasting held at Sea Cliff that allowed us to better fine tune our menu based on our wants and needs (be ready to get full). THE FOOD AT SEA CLIFF IS INCREDIBLE. Many of our guests have told us that Sea Cliff served the most delicious food they ever had at a wedding hands down. The cocktail hour outside was the highlight, with it being held at outside on the lawn with the sun setting on the water. Many of our guests thought that the food at cocktail hour was the main meal because there was so much food!The service was impeccable and Ian (Maitre D) really put his heart and soul in to making sure that our day went as smoothly as possible. He really made sure that we were able to truly enjoy the day and reminded us to take it all in. Camille (bridal attendant) made sure I always had a drink in hand and she even prepared us plates during cocktail hour to make sure that we were able to at least taste the food served during cocktail hour. She also put together my bustle and made sure that it was always attached so I could easily walk/dance around.From start to finish, our wedding day at Sea Cliff, as cliché as it sounds, was the absolute best day ever. It is a bittersweet feeling knowing that the day is over, but we will have memories to last a lifetime. When you become a Sea Cliff bride, you truly become part of a family and I am forever grateful to the Sea Cliff Manor family for all that they did to make my wedding day even more special.

That seemed like a good sign, so we went with them. And I'm so glad we did! Our maître d' Ian ran the ship so impeccably smoothly. Talk about herding kittens! Our parents and wedding party also shared with us how great it was to have him guiding us through the whole day and night (not to mention the months leading up to the big day). From all the emails (and seating charts and unique dietary restrictions) to the perfectly timed processional (still not sure how he did it??) to the periodic fist bumps over the course of the evening (so essential!!), we just so appreciated getting to take this step with him. We were definitely in good hands. And that extends to the whole Sea Cliff team, who were so kind and upbeat all day and night. They made sure we were always smiling, and our bridal attendant Camille made sure we were always fed and hydrated! It was just such a relief and joy to be in such great community. We truly felt the festivities went off without a hitch, which is such a blessing and gift. Our wedding also had a lot of little DIY and unconventional details—including centerpieces I'd made myself, a macrame ceremony arch hanging, processional music burned onto a vinyl record, a custom cake tray, a wedding party that was just our families, and so on, and literally every single detail came to fruition, with Sea Cliff collaborating with my florist/stylist who hadn't worked there before. I'm the kind of person who likes to have creative control over all these logistics, and Sea Cliff truly took over in such a reassuring way. Ian was so on top of every detail. He was genuinely empathetic and a great listener, and the pacing and vibe of the whole evening, from photoshoots to rehearsal to ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, was completely beautiful.

James Henry(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-10-2023 My fiancée and I chose another venue for our wedding but the welcoming experience and the way Nick and the rest of the staff treated us and our family deserves a five star review. The owner set aside time and made us feel like his most important business of the day when we visited. The maître d' (the finest dressed man I have ever seen) was warm, welcoming and confident. They know how to put on a party at this venue. The pricing options were clear and presented in a way that made us feel confident.Whatever your vision for your wedding is, I cannot recommend Sea Cliff Manor highly enough. We'll be hosting a party there, some day. Reviewed on 02-02-2022
Chelseyann Bipat(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2021 I'd give this place a million stars if I could. The entire staff is absolutely lovely and creates such a fun experience for everyone. They made us feel so calm and relaxed and headed off any potential issues before they even happened. They really do their best to make sure that the couple and the family are super happy. I've been to many LI weddings and I've never experienced anything like this. The weather was awful on my wedding day and I was initially disappointed about having the ceremony and cocktail hour indoors but looking back, I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'm so happy we chose Sea Cliff. Our guests are still talking about the food and the service there, days later. I even found many of my guests at the bar asking for their table servers by name so they could tip or say good bye to them! I cannot thank them enough for making my day beyond special and I don't have a single thought of any negative feedback or anything that they could change or improve - the entire experience is lovely and genuine and amazing!

Amanda Del Giacco(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-07-2021 I couldn’t have asked for a better venue and better people to work with for our wedding day. I knew we were in amazing hands and didn’t have one stress about the wedding day (except for the weather) but Ian had prepared for indoor and outdoor options the day of. The food was amazing, the staff was amazing the venue was amazing! If you’re looking for a venue that is personalized for you with amazing views, SeaCliff is your place!! I wish we could go back and do it all over again. The venue is one of a kind, not your typical Long Island wedding venue which is exactly what we were looking for. Planning a wedding during covid was stressful for most brides, but not for us because of the way Nick and Ian do business. They always were there to answer any questions we had and never left us in the dark about anything. I cannot say enough amazing things about Sea Cliff. Reviewed on 16-11-2021
Kelly Menzer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2021 Our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor was a dream come true. From the beginning of the wedding planning to the wedding day itself, everything was perfect. Ian was such a pleasure to work with and had everything running smoothly the entire day. My bridal attendant, Camille, was great and made sure we had everything we needed, drinks and food all night along with helping me with my dress. Nick and Donna were great to work with during the planning process and were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Sea Cliff Manor itself is a beautiful property and I love that our wedding was the only one that day so it truly got all the focus from all of the staff. The guests were raving about the incredible food. I cannot recommend Sea Cliff Manor enough. They were a big part in making our wedding day such an incredible day. Reviewed on 09-11-2021
Naomi Avadanei(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-08-2021 Part 2: We made a last-minute decision to extend the cocktail hour to an hour and a half which was absolutely 1000% the right choice. Cocktail hour is hands-down the best part of any wedding and especially at Sea Cliff with the incredible food it was so nice to just be able to relax and enjoy cocktail hour. We added on the lamb chops which everyone raved about and were amazing (I have a great shot of me with a cocktail in one hand and a lamb chop in another—Ian was ready for me at the bottom of the stairs as soon as I had my dress bustled), People also raved about carving station especially the Romanian Pastrami (I’m Romanian so we had to get this). Other highlights were the barbecue stations and the taste of Italy station. The outdoor space was BEAUTIFUL but I would highly recommend getting heel savers for your guests wearing heels. They do sink into the grass. Ian suggested it and it was a great suggestion.Someone said it to me so I’ll say it to you: When in doubt listen to Ian. He’s a pro.We also added on the after party and we did s'mores. People loved the chill, relaxed environment outside and it was a wonderful way to end the night.We had a 1920s Art Deco inspired wedding (complete with a 1920s Jazz band and Sea Cliff made all my vintage dreams come true…and then some).I could go on and on about how amazing Ian, Nick and the whole Sea Cliff family is. If you have any questions, let me know. But if you're in doubt, go with Sea Cliff, you won't regret it. Truly, you're in the best hands. Reviewed on 05-11-2021
Naomi Avadanei(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-08-2021 Part 1(I couldn't help myself):If you can, do a cocktail hour and a half. In my opinion, cocktail hour is the best part of a wedding and I’m so, so glad we did it! We got to really enjoy AND we got to eat. On a scale of 1-100, Sea Cliff gets 100,000. They are the most caring and genuine people you’ve ever met. If you have the privilege of working with Ian, the Maitre D, he is one of those people that truly loves what he does and it shows. Joy and excitement radiates from his pores when he talks to you about your wedding, helps you with the details and creates pure magic for you. He is organized and thorough and one of the kindest and most sincere people I’ve ever met. His attention to detail is phenomenal and it’s clear that he shows his staff the same love and attention he shows his couples. They clearly love working for and with him as evidenced by our guests who raved about the staff, the food (which they said was some of the best food they’d ever eaten, not just wedding food, food period) and the excellent alcohol that just kept on flowing. My husband loves craft beer and Ian did everything in his power to make my husband happy. He got him some amazing craft beer choices and my husband was over the moon. Leading up to the day, Ian was so responsive and open to my wildest ideas. He repeatedly came up to me throughout the night to show me small details (like our cake topper) and fist bump me and ask me what I needed and what he could get for me. He is a gem of a human and Sea Cliff is lucky to have him.Nick felt like family from the moment we walked into Sea Cliff (and not in a fake, I’m trying to get your business way. He was and is genuine.) When I walked into Sea Cliff the morning of my wedding and saw how beautiful it was, I started crying. Nick was showing some folks around and he saw me crying and HE started crying. Later in the day he sought me out to see me dressed and started crying all over again, telling me I looked beautiful. He was like my dad! He now even says he feels like we’re all cousins, I feel that too!We were initially supposed to get married August 1, 2020 but we had to postpone and the entire postponement process (with all of my vendors) was absolutely seamless. I saw some horror stories from other brides but I had none of that with Sea Cliff.I will say that we initially had invited 256 people but more than half didn’t come. Nick and Ian assured us that 202 would fit and that generally 10-15% of guests invited decline. In the end we had 150 guests and it was the PERFECT number. The space felt full, yet intimate. We did put two tables on the dance floor as per Ian‘s recommendation, so as to not block the speakeasy area and I actually think it was a really great idea (though I’ll admit, I was hesitant at first.) The tables I put on the dance floor were full of young people (including some of my bridal party) so they not only got amazing photos of the first dance, father daughter dance, mother son dance, my uncle singing and other great shots, but they also got up and danced to get the party started on multiple occasions.Dinner was DELICIOUS and most people got the filet mignon which melted in your mouth or the pecan crusted swordfish which was SO GOOD. You can’t go wrong with the food. You just can’t. For dessert we got the Tartufo which I never tried but heard it was amazing and the we added the passed desserts which were great fun and delicious touch. Reviewed on 05-11-2021

Our guests were all from Southern California and Manhattan, and every one of them was awed from the moment they arrived when they were greeted with a glass of champagne as they stepped off the bus. The venue itself is gorgeous, and the VIEW is spectacular! we happened to have a beautiful warm October night, so cocktails outside were just gorgeous. and THE FOOD! There was so much of it! Appetizers were everywhere! being passed and on the buffet tables! The bartenders were awesome, and all the servers were beyond fantastic. Nick, Donna and Ian are THE BEST!!!! We had a lovely sit down dinner inside, and everything was just perfect. Couldn't have been better! Dinner was delicious, and came out on time. and then when the dessert station came out with s'mores, donut wall, cookies, brownies, pizza..... Well, that was AMAZING!!!!

Nick and Ian feel like part of the family after hosting my wedding. And the staff! After calling family and friends after the wedding, they were naming staff by name with compliments. My grandfather locked his wheelchair because he wanted to say goodbye to Christian. My bridal attendant was the Italian grandmother I never had making sure I ate and had my back. Some notes:- They were so supportive, responsive and calming - such the perfect energy.- A friend literally licked his plate dry- The cocktail hour was so amazing, most didn't realize the reception had not started.- I heard all bartenders were fantastic, my bridal attendant took care of me so I never met them! - They moved and shaked with all the nuances that can happen, like Ian taking a photo of us with the cake because my photographer left. - The outside area provided the best photos.Whatever you are thinking, you don't need to keep looking.

We are a gay, bicultural couple (Jewish and Ethnic Miao). My husband created all the gowns and ceremonial garments for his best maids. The whole day was like a dream. One that you don't ever want to wake up from. Our wedding brought out the best in everybody attending that day. Ian and Camille were so helpful. reassuring, and attentive to us and our guests. Ian made sure the ceremony outside was perfect and that all the wedding maids were attended to. The whole wedding party and all the guests felt so welcome and so much warmth in the room. Camille kept us fed and hydrated when we lost track of time...which was often! Ian was very helpful in calming our nerves when things were getting late before the ceremony. He also helped my best woman with her performance anxiety before she sang her song. We all had the best time of our lives and we will never forget it.

Kristen Khosrozadeh(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2021 My husband Nick and I had our wedding at the Sea Cliff Manor on September 6 and it was nothing short of perfect. Five stars is honestly not nearly enough to give this venue and its incredible staff. If you read no further, just know that Sea Cliff Manor is THE best place to get married on Long Island. From the very first day we toured Sea Cliff after our engagement last summer, we knew there was nowhere else we wanted to have our wedding. The mansion and the grounds are beautiful in that elegant, classic Gold Coast, Great Gatsby style. The rooms are flooded with natural light at all times of the day, but especially during sunset. The recently added speakeasy bar nook is such a unique idea and adds some more 1920s flair to the venue. The bridal suite is cozy and feminine, with windows overlooking the grounds and the Harbor. Aesthetically, Sea Cliff checks the boxes for a truly elegant wedding. But what makes Sea Cliff special is so much more than its beautiful views and welcoming appearance. Over the past year, the staff has become like family. Nick and Ian went out of their way over and over again to help us through the planning process. As a couple planning a ~170 person wedding while COVID-19 regulations were constantly changing, we were so grateful for their support and genuine care for our event. I’ve never met a team so dedicated to making our wedding dreams come true. The wedding itself was more than I ever could have imagined. Our guests were absolutely blown away by the food, especially cocktail hour. (Tip: get the coconut shrimp and the Pelligrini ravioli. They were unbelievable.) drinks were delicious and the staff tending bar kept guests veryyyy happy :) The serving staff were so kind and personable and caring. Special shout-out to Christian and Minnie; you kept our guests smiling all night long. Brides, your attendant Camille is a literal lifesaver. She kept me fed and hydrated, bustled my dress, carried my veil and bouquet, helped me around for pictures (and helped me make an escape when I needed a break), kept my champagne glass full, and was just generally amazing. Sea Cliff is everything you could ever want. Its elegance and unique character make it feel like a true destination wedding. The staff - Ian, Nick, Donna, Anna, Camille, Christian, Minnie, all the wait staff and bartenders and anyone I am missing - will treat you like family and they TRULY care about your happiness. The food and drinks are to die for. I couldn’t have asked for more and I will be forever grateful we made the decision to get married at the Sea Cliff Manor.

Lauren Christenson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2021 My husband and I got married at Sea Cliff Manor on July 22nd, 2021 after having to postpone our wedding from December 2020. We can not say enough wonderful things about Sea Cliff, from the gorgeous venue on the water, to the ease of planning our dream wedding (especially making it easy to plan with them when we had to postpone) to the fantastic staff that went well above and beyond our expectations to make sure our wedding (and the process leading up to our wedding) was absolutely perfect. Nick, Ian, Donna and the rest of the Sea Cliff Manor staff treated us and our guests to 5 star treatment. So many of our guests and family members raved about not only how beautiful our wedding venue was, how delicious the food was but most importantly how fantastic the service was. Our favorite part of the venue (this was hard to pick because everything Sea Cliff does is top notch) was the Speak Easy bar. Our guests loved spending time in there enjoying cocktails and conversations. We got married on site, which was like a dream come true, over looking the water at sunset as we exchanged our vows and said \"I do\". We had an absolute blast the entire day and as we celebrated our love and partied into the night. From the moment we stepped into the venue two years ago, we knew this was where we had to get married.

Andrew Howard(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2021 It’s a shame you can only give 5 stars on this site. Sea Cliff Manor is the best wedding venue I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending, and in this case it happened to be for my wedding! Weddings in the time of COVID are a tricky thing - on top of all the normal logistics and headaches associated with planning, we had to reschedule our wedding from August of 2020 to August 2021, we had to arrange new hotel blocks, change guest lists, etc. Seacliff Manor took all of this in stride, honored the terms of our original contract, and did so with a professionalism and grace that you’d expect from the Savoy Hotel.There are a lot of reasons to choose this venue before you even meet the personnel. From an aesthetic standpoint, it’s perfect. The mansion itself is elegant and classy, the landscaping and greenery are lush and vibrant. It’s on the Long Island Sound. Your photos are going to look good.From a logistical point of view, it makes a lot of sense. Do you have folks coming from out of town? It’s located 30-45 minutes from either airport. It’s a 12 minute drive from a variety of hotels in Roslyn. Roslyn itself is charming and chock full of restaurants for your rehearsal dinner.From a money perspective, it also made sense. We looked at a lot of venues, and Sea Cliff’s prices were very competitive. Then the event starts and the magic really happens! Ian - the day of coordinator - is something of a wedding magician. He has his finger on the pulse of all the different pieces of your day, and tells you (and everyone else involved at the wedding) where to be and when to be there. You don’t have to worry about anything - Ian’s got it. The food is fantastic, and there’s a LOT of it. Your guests won’t go hungry, and the next day they will thank you for the cocktail hour snacks, because getting food in their bellies before too much alcohol is always a good idea!Lastly, there is the rest of the staff. I only got a couple of their names, but they all managed to balance professionalism and fun perfectly. Camille, the bridal attendant, was a delight to work with and took care of my wife with grace throughout the day. Christian served my wife and I during dinner, and he was always on the ball, and some of our guests loved the staff so much that they invited them to hang out with the wedding party after the event (they didn’t join us - and that is totally understandable - this was perhaps the professionalism portion of the balance coming through :) )I could keep going, but I’m likely going to run into a character limit at some point. If you want a place that operates with integrity and class, and where your guests are going to have an outstanding time, you’ve found it. Book now before they run out of availability. Thank you to Nick, Ian, Camille, Donna, and all the staff at Sea Cliff Manor! Reviewed on 05-09-2021

You can tell he really enjoys what he does and he is really good at it. Our families raved about the whole staff in general on our wedding day, saying that they have never seen a more professional, attentive, and friendly staff. Even when it rained halfway through our ceremony out of nowhere, the staff was ready with umbrellas for the guests and took on the big task on moving the whole cocktail hour inside in record time (our guests didn't even notice and thought cocktail hour was supposed to be inside).

Alison Haan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2021 This day was our original wedding date in 2020 and it marks a time of uncertainty in the world. Postponing our wedding during a pandemic means that human celebration was put on hold. A year later we were able to celebrate our love at the Sea Cliff Manor. During a time where most of our other engaged friends were dealing with nightmare postponement stories. We were greeted with nothing but positive reinforcement the venue bending over backwards to keep us happy. Almost every guest relayed to me just how fantastic the staff was. I wanted to note a few very specific instances where the staff deserves to be recognized:- Ian, the maître d’, is a dream to work with. He is truly a beautiful person inside and out and cares so much about making your day special. Everything is run perfectly to the minute. We trusted him along every step of the way. It’s impossible to plan every single detail for your wedding, but just know that Ian already has. We had forgotten to cover a Mic for our Officiant and in 30 seconds Ian had it covered. This is just one of the many moments throughout the day where the stress is completely removed from your shoulders. We never fully understood how much time, effort and detail goes into an event like this. Ian understands this to a science and it shows. - The owner of the establishment, Nick, couldn’t have been more personable and caring. He showed up the day of our Wedding to wish us congratulations and had tears in his eyes right before I walked down the Aisle. Everyone is family at Sea Cliff Manor. - The Bridal Attendant, Camille, was next to me every step of the way. She made sure that we ate food and always put a drink our hands. She should be called a “Wedding Attendant” with the amount of care and attention she gave my husband as well. She helped me during the rain all with a smile on her face. Her personality truly showed in how she handled all of the small details with grace. - It rained a lot on my wedding day and it had ZERO affect on the beauty of the day and venue. The staff all held four umbrellas over me so I wouldn’t get wet walking down the aisle. They made me laugh the whole time and created such a memorable moment. Not only did they help me, but the entire wedding party was escorted with umbrellas through the rain. - Their service was OFF THE CHARTS. At all times they were hustling to serve the guests with a big smile on their faces. - For most events that you attend, the Wedding staff is relied on to keep the party going. At the Sea Cliff Manor you can rely on them to enhance your day from arrival to departure - My wedding was a party that led to some broken glasses. They literally danced their way through cleaning it up and showed no signs of getting upset- I learned that the hiring process is extremely caring and thought out. Each person is hand picked to compliment the utmost professionalism and charm. I had some time to speak with the staff, who all relayed that they love working at Sea Cliff Manor. It is such a wonderful environment and I feel blessed to have shared my wedding day there.The venue speaks for itself with the beauty and class both inside and out. On a personal note, the Speakeasy really hits home for two bourbon lovers. In the end you will of course pick your own venue to host your beautiful and memorable day. Just know that if you choose Sea Cliff Manor, you have made the best decision of your life. Reviewed on 30-05-2021

Ian, from our first meeting, I felt confident leaving my wedding in your hands. You have a brilliant mind full of creative ideas, and we are forever grateful that you shared all of that with us! My favorite part, the menu development, the way you set up the reception area, how you repurposed our flowers, and the set up of our memorial photos and \"treats\" table from our dog- Everything was perfect! You took my (our lol) vision and made it come to life in the greatest way possible. I have a new appreciation and... passion for weddings now! Can't I just come back next Friday and redo it all? Camille, I did not know what to expect when Ian told me I'd be given a bridal attendant. I didn't think I'd need the help, but you were everything I could have wished for and more. I kept telling you to take a break, to relax, but you were right there with me the entire night! You were extremely attentive and had so many great ideas during our photo time. Thank you so much for making sure I always had a full cup (of lemon water)! Brian also couldn't stop raving about how well you took care of him. You brought him beers and alternated his beer orders with water. We are so appreciative. You kept us happy and prioritized the entire night. You were a huge part of making our day so special.

They were extremely attentive and made us feel at ease during the pandemic. I’ve read horror stories on multiple venues in this group on how they treated their brides during COVID, and Sea Cliff Manor stood behind us through and through. They treat you like family and I couldn’t be more thankful and honored of having my wedding hosted at their venue. We looked at about 11 different venues and Sea Cliff was the last one we looked it. Words cannot explain how absolutely breathtaking this venue is - located on the Long Island Sound and even on the gloomiest days, this venue is absolutely magical. With bay windows that surround the reception and dining room with water views, beautiful bridal/grooms suite overlooking the water and cocktail hour area. This was the ONLY venue that sent us a sweet Thank You note (still hanging on our fridge) and I knew this was the venue for us! It’s not your typical run of the mill wedding hall, it’s quaint, enchanting and romantic. You’re the only wedding that’s hosted that day and that made me feel more at ease.The staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND (I threw in more money for their gratuity with their white glove service). Their maitre’d, Ian, is a real class act! Ian made the wedding planning so easy that I didn’t even need a wedding coordinator! HE DOES EVERYTHING! My husband only drinks Proper Twelve Whiskey and Ian went out of the way to make sure we had this for one of our Signature Drinks. We also had a bridal attendant, Camille, who was SO ATTENTIVE! Also making sure there was a drink and food in hand. Wiping sweat of my husbands forehead af time, lol! Camille was with us every step of the way. She fluffed my dress right before walking down the aisle and helped with all the first look photos, bridal photos and family photos (holding my dress and all!) The food was outstanding and everything is cooked on the spot! All the food that we experienced at our tasting was exactly what we received during our wedding, that includes presentation, taste - you name it! The food presentation during cocktail hour was insane and ALL of our family and friends from out-of-state and locally raved about the detail of each cocktail hour station and passed hor’s devours (my favorite was the mini taco with patron margaritas - pics below!) The day after our wedding, we picked up our decor that was already packed and ready for us. I cried like a baby because of how beautiful and smooth everything went and did not want things to end.

betty klein(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-11-2020 My husband and I started planning our wedding in June 2019 for a June 2020 wedding. Due to the pandemic, it had to be postponed which was heartbreaking, but working with Nick and Ian at the Sea Cliff Manor made the difficult experience of rescheduling the date seamless and painless. We were not held to our original guest count and they were compassionate and flexible throughout the entire planning process for the new date.We were married this past Sunday, Nov 1st in what was close to a Nor'Easter so our dreams of having our cocktail hour outside on their beautiful grounds did not happen but they did an amazing job setting up a comfortable and spacious cocktail hour inside and easily transitioned within minutes to prepare the dance floor for our intros and 1st dance. Ian's attention to every detail, keeping us posted about all of the activities on our timeline as well as the very attentive wait staff, helped to put us at ease so we could sit back and enjoy our special day.The food was outstanding and all of our guests could not stop saying how delicious the food was and what a gorgeous venue it was.Our only disappointment was that the day was over so fast; we would love to go back to the Sea Cliff Manor and do it all over again!

DANIEL RESCIGNO(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-09-2020 Sea Cliff Manor was the first venue we visited. After meeting with Donna we knew it'd be difficult to top. After visiting several other venues, we ventured back to the Manor, this time meeting with Nick the owner and Ian the Maitre D'. It didn't take long to sign off, making it official that we'd be spending our wedding day at the Manor. 2020 has been a wild year for everyone, us included. We were initially supposed to have our wedding 7/31/2020. Like most couples, our wedding was pushed back. We quickly met with Nick and Ian who gave us multiple options. They worked with us as well as anyone possibly could have. We were fortunate, and were able to find a date in September that worked. With such short notice we were worried that the Manor would be running around, trying to piece together a wedding during these trying times. It was the complete opposite. Ian calmed us down, told us he had everything in order, and he was right. From the obscure beer we wanted, to the decorations, to the social distancing needs, Ian had it under control and outperformed himself. The day of the wedding went as smooth as it could have. Ian handled the groomsmen (who aren't the easiest group of guys) with ease, while Camille did a phenomenal job at taking care of my wife to be and her wedding party. The ceremony was gorgeous, the reception was over the top fun, it was a perfect day. Nick sold us early on on the food. Seeing that he carried some of his mother's recipes into the Manor made it feel special, and the food did not disappoint. The cocktail hour had so many cool and different choices, while the sit down dinner was phenomenal. We had many guests tell us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. These times are scary, but Ian made sure the wedding went off without a hitch, socially distancing rules and all. If you're looking for a venue that doesn't feel like a wedding factory, one where your treated like family, where the food is excellent, and you have a full view of the Long Island Sound, go with the Sea Cliff Manor. We can't thank Nick, Ian, Donna, Camille, and everyone else at the Manor enough for making our day as special and memorable as can be. Reviewed on 15-10-2020

In addition, Ian’s presence, guidance, and support the day of our wedding made the day go off unhitched— his coordination and leadership was so calming and relieving. Additionally, the support and service from Nick and our bridal attendant, Camille, just made the day so calm and perfect. I was astounded by the exceptional service and accommodation from everyone at Sea Cliff— especially as a nervous bride— I just had the best day... more than I could have asked for! The venue itself is beautiful! The gorgeous mansion overlooking the water, with blooming June flowers, made an epic outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. The food was PHENOMENAL. Every guest was honestly astounded— not only at how many options, how much food, and the quality... but how INCREDIBLE everything we ate was! We opted for the seafood boat with lobster and it was one of the best choices we could have made— every guest *loved* it. It made our event so special and unique— it was worth getting. Dinner was amazing— so much food after the cocktail hour— but guests loved it. The ice cream tartufo was my favorite!!! It made our wedding cake so much more enjoyable. Checked some of the photos from our photographer during the sunset photos... and they are going to be phenomenal. The weather was what caused me the most anxiety, but honestly, it would have been amazing rain or shine. It was evident our money went to our special day— not just marked up for the sake of the wedding business. Also, being the only wedding on the grounds was so important to us— it was our day, unlike some other LI venues that have multiple events. We heard about Sea Cliff Manor by word of mouth from my husband’s personal trainer who also had his wedding there. I will 100% recommend Sea Cliff Manor to anyone looking to get married!!!!

When we went to look at venues we got confused after going into ballroom after ballroom. I ended up seeing Sea Cliff Manor alone the first time and knew within minutes this is where I wanted to get married. Ian was so passionate and excited that it was contagious! We ended up booking the next week when I brought my fiancé. The whole planning process was amazing. Ian and Nick recognized my voice any time I called or came to the venue. Anything we could imagine Ian and Nick made a reality. Ian gently gave his opinion when we were torn (like cocktail hour stations) and those details we trusted to him were some of people’s favorite parts of our wedding. He knows what he is talking about! They coordinated a perfect day. Ian handled our whole ceremony that flowed seamlessly and were more than accommodating to my grandparents and parents who needed special accommodations for getting down the aisle. The staff went above and beyond even to our guests. Ian personally delivered food and snacks to a hungry guest before the ceremony and arranged special seating for my aunt and uncle. The whole night went perfect I can say I attended and got to enjoy my wedding. My bridal attendant made sure I got food and always had a drink in my hand. I cannot express enough how wonderful the staff was. No better location to have a gorgeous wedding among a team that treats you like family.

Anuththara Jayasekara(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-04-2019 I had my wedding back in April at Sea Cliff Manor. I was so nervous about my wedding day turning out well and things running smoothly, but at the end of the event I couldn't be happier and the staff at Sea Cliff Manor were an integral part of making it a great wedding. I met with Nick over a year before my wedding and really enjoyed his hospitality. When it came down to picking out our venue we were down to three options, one of them being Sea Cliff Manor. After going through all the pros and cons we actually decided on a different venue at first. But then after speaking with Nick again to discuss some logistics and pricing we really felt that Sea Cliff Manor was the perfect venue for us. The food was great and they did a great job putting everything together. Ian did a great job making sure everything went smoothly the day of. All I had to do was drop off the extra decor a few days before the wedding and tell him how I wanted things set up and everything was executed perfectly. The chef was even willing to make a special Sri Lankan station for cocktail hour and all I had to do was provide recipes. The station was a hit and they were able to make it delicious! We also requested another custom station as we wanted a pizza station during cocktail hour and they did a great job with this as well. We loved that we were able to customize things to how we wanted it and to match our tastes/interests. We were very set on having certain things at our wedding and was thrilled that Sea Cliff Manor was willing to work with us. The one down part of the day was that the weather ended up being a little cold and windy so we had to move the cocktail hour inside and I was really looking forward to an outside cocktail hour. Ian and his team were quickly able to make the transition to an indoor cocktail hour and no one would have even known that it was a last minute change. We were at least lucky to still have our ceremony outdoors. Overall I highly recommend Sea Cliff Manor!! Nick and Ian are great to work with and the venue is beautiful! Reviewed on 12-06-2019
Jessica Raspen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 Ryan and I can't thank Sea Cliff Manor and especially Ian for our amazing wedding on 5/25/19. The day ran so smoothly that I did not stress one bit because Ian knew every next move. When I had questions throughout the day Ian or my bridal attendant was there to answer them. We are an out of state couple which can be stressful at times, but Nick and Ian answered my e-mails (which sometimes I may have gotten carried away with) in a very timely manner to always suit our needs best! Our ceremony and cocktail hour were outside and it was a beautiful day, but they assured me from day 1 that no matter what that there would be plan Bs and the day would flow smoothly. They definitely delivered! We can't wait to get back our pictures due to how beautiful the venue truly is. Nothing is perfect, but we really did have a perfect wedding here! Reviewed on 04-06-2019
Kathleen B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-05-2019 We are SO happy we chose to have our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor!! It was the best day of our lives and wouldn’t have been the same at any other venue. We met with Nick when we first visited and he was a pleasure to work with in making the initial plans. Nick was always flexible in when we could meet. Nick and Ian answered emails quickly and helped us every step of the way. Scheduling the tasting was great, Nick even helped organize a Sunday for us because that worked best for our schedules. As the big day approached, we worked with Ian closely. He was AMAZING. He is the best wedding planner and organizer. He answered every question we had and even ones we hadn’t thought of yet. He was so prompt on the email responses. He was beyond organized. When it came to setting up for the day of, Ian set everything up PERFECTLY. It was exactly as we imagined. Ian made sure everything went smoothly the night of the wedding and I felt so at ease knowing he was on top of all the details. Ian also had the best idea for a photo at the end of the night and it’s one of my favorites from the day!! I would recommend Sea Cliff Manor to EVERY engaged couple looking for the most fabulous venue. Reviewed on 27-05-2019
Nina Berman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-01-2019 We got married at Sea Cliff Manor in January, 2019, and could not have been more thrilled with the venue and the people! Ian was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process: he made sure everything was clear, and he was professional, prepared, and helpful the entire time (despite having to deal with some \"challenging\" family members). The venue itself is just terrific: unique, small, water views, beautiful layout, and it has a special feel because it is actually an old mansion. Many Long Island wedding venues try to emulate the feel of the gilded age mansion, but this one actually is! And the food is just great-- we had a vegetarian wedding, and the chef could not have been more creative and accommodating; even our ride-or-die meat-eating family members and friends were blown away by the food! On to of it all, our wedding was affordable; Sea Cliff offered so much more than any other place we looked at for so much less. We would 100% recommend Sea Cliff Manor--we had our dream wedding!

Jennifer Anderson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-05-2019 I can’t begin to say enough wonderful things about Sea Cliff Manor, Nick, & Ian. They are the best in the business at what they do. It’s exactly what we wanted in a venue (intimate, unique, not a typical catering hall, one wedding A DAY, and on the water. ) I appreciated feeling like I was never part of a “hard sell-“ Nick was honest about the things he liked and the things he would pass on. They worked with our budget and made sure we got the things that were important to us. Due to inclement weather, our cocktail hour had to be inside which was not the original plan. But the staff moved seamlessly and efficiently and the turn over from cocktail hour to dance floor was barely noticeable. And while I fell in love with the outdoor area for cocktails, I had just as much fun inside. The guests didn’t even know the difference! The food was out of this world. In fact, a group of my friends set up shop right outside the kitchen during the cocktail hour so they could be the first to get the hors d’oevrs. My bridal attendant Camille was attentive without being overbearing. The team at Sea Cliff Manor truly provides unbeatable service with great attention to detail and unwavering professionalism Reviewed on 13-05-2019
Sarah T.(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-05-2019 We had our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor on 05.03.19 and WE HAD THE BEST TIME!!!Ian the Matri D is an amazing human being for everything he does behind the scenes, everything went so smoothly and it felt generally amazing to know that we could show up and not have to worry about anything. Our bridal attendant Camille, was with us EVERY SINGLE moment, from plates of food to water, walking in the sand for pictures, the staff performs and delivers with the utmost care and professionalism. The food was amazing and everyone loved it! Nick and Ian will work with you to make the dreams of your meals come true and will work with you to help keep everything reasonable. We asked for specific upgrades like a seafood station (complete with oysters, clams, and shrimp) and baby lamb chops and we were still able to stay within budget. Sea Cliff Manor is a beautiful and intimate space and includes and well-manicured grounds. The interior is beautiful and classic that does not need any additional decor. It has that long island, gold coast, Gatsby charm, that sits on the water, with a beautiful fireplace. You will NOT be disappointed if you choose this venue. Reviewed on 07-05-2019
Faith Carbonaro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-04-2019 Sea Cliff Manor was absolutely wonderful from the moment we walked through the door for our first appointment all the way through our wedding in April. At our first appointment at Sea Cliff, Nick greeted us by name, shook our hands, and talked with us like we were valued people and not just customers. All of the staff were pleasant, kind, and accommodating- especially Ian who coordinated our beautiful wedding, answered all questions, and put any worry we had at ease. Our bridal attendant was also very personable and spoke with me on the wedding day as if we knew each other for years! Those conversations with her helped bring peace to wedding morning jitters (thank you!)The venue is beautiful and quaint. It overlooks the water and is located on beautiful property. Pictures do capture it's beauty, but it's even more beautiful in person, so be sure to visit! And Last but NOT least, THE FOOD! The food was AMAZING. I may be one of the few brides that did eat at her wedding, and I enjoyed every moment of it. The cocktail hour was filled with more food than I imagined, all delicious and tasting extra fresh! Our appetizers during reception were out of this world and the entrees were perfect. I would definitely recommend Sea Cliff Manor to anyone who is looking for a beautiful venue with professional, kind, and accommodating staff. Reviewed on 01-05-2019

Cheryl C(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-09-2018 After visiting many other wedding venues, we followed the recommendation of a friend and visited Sea Cliff Manor. I’m glad We did. We were married on a beautiful evening in September. The ceremony was held outside as the sun was setting. The cocktail hour was also held outdoors under strung lights with the reggae and calypso sounds of a steel band player. We wanted a relaxed Caribbean feel. We were able to accomplish that thanks to, the Maitre’D, Ian. He was helpful in making menu selections and organizing an authentic “jerk chicken station” in addition to all the other delicious options we selected. Our guests really enjoyed the food.My husband and I got to enjoy our wedding day because Ian took care of the details. Nick, the Manager, and Ian are good at what they do. They both have years of experience in the business and it shows. They really take pride in “Doing it Your Way!” They listen and are willing to accommodate requests, if at all possible.If you are looking for a reasonably priced, one event venue, with professional staff, great food, beautiful grounds, amazing views, and the flexibility to customize your event the way you want, you really should consider Sea Cliff Manor.

Blake Gilson(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-09-2018 We went with Sea Cliff Manor because of the beautiful surroundings (views of the Long Island Sound, trees and the charming small town of Sea Cliff), but were blown away by the level of service. Ian did a great job helping us to pull everything together and he and his team were super helpful, well-coordinated and on top of everything on the big day. We had our ceremony and reception both at the Manor. The food is also great and there's a wide selection so you can choose what you and your guests will like.

Diana Mayo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2018 Shortly after my husband and I got engaged, a friend of the family suggested Sea Cliff Manor as our wedding venue. Though we had no intention of getting married on Long Island, we figured it was a short drive and it couldn't hurt to just check it out. We could not have felt more differently after leaving! Not only is Sea Cliff Manor lovely and intimate (which is exactly what we wanted for our 58-person wedding), but Nick was honest, knowledgeable, professional, personable, and made us feel like family. We soon got to know Ian, and there is not a soul on this earth who has a better disposition to be a maitre'd than he. Throughout the process he responded to emails promptly and didn't even bat an eyelash when we presented him with signature cocktails my brother created for us, despite that they required a few exotic liquors. As a naturally anxious person, my close friends found it strange that I wasn't nervous leading up to the wedding, and I can honestly say it is because Ian was so calm, professional, and devoted to executing our vision. The day of our wedding did not disappoint. The food was exceptional (guests especially commented on the delicious cocktail hour), everything ran smoothly, and Camille, Sea Cliff's talented bridal attendant, not only put together a plate of food for us while we were greeting guests during cocktail hour, but even helped bustle my dress! So many places would not even entertain our vision for a small, classy wedding, but the incredible and attentive staff at Sea Cliff Manor ensured that we were happy and fulfilled on this day that meant so much to us. To the staff of Sea Cliff Manor, I cannot thank you enough for creating a memorable and flawless wedding day that we can look back on with love and joy. We wish you many successful years of hosting happy marriages! Reviewed on 24-10-2018

The entrees we chose; filet mignon, chicken francaise and the salmon were all fantastic! My guests raved about the food!!! We used three of their recommended vendors, two of which I would highly recommend. We used Verbena Designs for the flowers and Mike from Music Flex for the DJ. Loved them both.

We hada vision in mind of what we wanted in terms of a fall wedding, setting, decor, etc. Ian and his staff mot only met out expectations, but by far exceeded them. They could not have been any more accommodating in the weeks leading up to the wedding, nor on the day of. From the attention to detail on every level, to the personal care they provided for my wife and I while we were there, it was overwhelming.

Fahreta Lekaj(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 Can I give Sea Cliff Manor all the stars? Caused they made me feel like a star on my wedding night. I can't tell you how beautiful my wedding was -- but my cousin said it best \"It was like straight out of a movie\". Ian and Nick are the sweetest people. Not only did they check in on me and my fiance throughout the night, but they made every accommodation I asked for work. I'm not a good writer so I won't go on and on but my night was: elegant, romantic, and intimate all because of them and their staff. Also, the FOOD. OMG THE FOOD. No one will ever be able to tell me that Sea Cliff Manor is basic because the food is quality delicious goodness. As most brides, I barely got to eat, despite my attending putting plates in front of me every 30 min (thank you Camille!!!!!), but the few bites I had were delectable. My salmon and sides were PERFECTLY COOKED. I don't eat red meat but my husband had the short rib and it was literally melting in his mouth. I actually wanted to call them and order delivery for us the next day since we stayed close by, but unfortunately for us they don't cater for two (or do they? -- do YOU????). I am ecstatic about my venue choice and I don't think I ever would have found a place as perfect as this. Get married here!!! Reviewed on 23-10-2018
Meghan Sheehy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2018 Get ready for a long one:I can't say enough great things about Ian and the rest of the staff at Sea Cliff Manor! My husband and I recently had our reception there and it was perfect. We married on 10.6.18, had our cocktail hour outside from 6-7pm and reception inside from 7-11pm. From the very beginning Ian calmed our nerves about the details of the day. We originally had one idea about our reception in mind, changed halfway through and Ian adjusted without any issues. Our cocktail hour was outside and was more beautiful than I imagined. The lights were hanging from above, fire pit was glowing and the cocktail food tables and high tops were perfectly placed so people did not feel packed in. Many people complimented on the amazing food and scenery - I wouldn't have changed a thing.Our reception was held inside. All tables were on the level above the dance floor, leaving plenty of room to party. We had 183 guests which seemed like a lot for the size of the room but worked out quite nicely. We went with rectangular tables and fit between 10-12 ppl a table. Any more people and we would have had to put some tables around the dance floor which I wouldn't have liked - Sea Cliff just widened their dance floor so we didn't want to lose any space. If you want the dance floor for dancing only, try to stay under 190 (this number could possibly change if you use rounds). We had 2 bars, one on the dance floor in the corner and one in a room off the dining area. This made it possible for the many guests to be served without waiting forever. The food was unreal, especially the ravioli with shrimp appetizer. Ever since the tasting I couldn't wait to have more. Everyone I spoke to only had great things to say.We opted for the late night snacks to be served towards the end of the evening. Sliders, lobster mac and cheese, grilled cheese, hot dogs and ff - AMAZING!All and all the evening was perfect, Ian killed it. If you want to be in good hands, go with him! Reviewed on 12-10-2018
