We got married here on October 14, 2023 and the entire time the staff was incredible. The most accommodating team ever. The managers always made themselves available via email or in person so we could stop by and look around to plan decorations, arrangements, etc. my emails were always promptly answered and we were given the latitude to decorate the gorgeous space pretty much however we wanted. You do have to bring all your own vendors in which wasn’t a problem because they have recommended vendors they work with frequently and all of the vendors we chose to work with through them were also exceptional. Unfortunately it rained 90% of our wedding day so we couldn’t utilize the outdoor space, but the staff was more than accommodating and helped us make the most out of space inside. The estate is simply gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for. Since it is a more DIY location, we were able to set up decorations earlier in the week because they didn’t have any other events leading up to our wedding that week. This venue is truly incredible in terms of beauty, staff, and professionalism. I would recommend the Mariner Estate to any bride. Reviewed on 22-01-2024

The setting of The Mariner Estate made my wedding beautiful but the staff there made it perfection. The building and grounds are sophisticated and welcoming, providing the charm of a Gold Coast mansion without the high prices. My husband and I researched so many venues online but when we visited the Mariner Estate we booked it the day we walked in. The event staff recommended and helped us work with a wonderful caterer (Foodies LI) and coordinated every aspect of the affair. Jamie Johnson's eye for detail is just amazing. She knew exactly where every table, chair and flower would look best. She helped us customize the entire Estate to match the vision of our wedding. She and Juan and Yev are so caring, attentive and hard working. We could not have asked for a better crew. When the weather turned horribly bad, they knew just how to pivot to ensure our vision stayed true. Every guest who attended commented on the beautiful venue and amazing details of the Estate. The pictures were a dream with the Mariner Estate as the setting. (Photos by Miralli Photography.) The room options are fabulous. We had the entire place to ourselves for the whole day and night to get ready, have the ceremony, host the cocktail hour and dinner, and dance the night away. The DJ (Stingray Productions) was so happy with the setting. The Estate and its staff made all the vendors' jobs a pleasure. I cannot recommend The Mariner Estate highly enough for events large and small. They are a hidden gem on Long Island. Reviewed on 27-12-2023

Let me start by saying, I pretty much had our flights booked for a destination wedding until I found The Mariner Estate. My family has been in the event industry for 40+ years. There are not many catering halls in the tri -state area that we have not been to. This is why the thought of the same old- been there, done that type of venue in Long Island or NYC was just not something I wanted. My uncle had worked a wedding at the Estate and called me on the spot while there and said I should check them out online. He sent me pictures throughout the night and it caught my interest. It is a brand new renovated historic building with one event per day. Well fast forward a week later and I made an appointment with Jamie after being on the phone with her for over an hour. She completely understood my vision and honestly hesitation in wanting a Long Island wedding. Upon making the turn into the driveway, I just had a feeling that I can not put into words. The property is a set back secluded building that lies behind trees hidden from the road. It isn't like other north shore mansions, it's just so quaint and unique. Upon entering, I immediately saw it was pristine. All new and fresh, yet every architectural detail preserved. The antiques and decor is breathtaking. I met with Jamie and she immediately welcomed us and made us feel so comfortable as if it were an extension of our own home. We ended up spending over 2 hours just discussing what we would do and what we could do and I just knew immediately this was it. The Estate was where I would get married. Yevgenia is amazing also and so detailed as well. We had so many moving parts to our event, we had a big vision and it was executed flawlessly by their team. My friends and family were wowed from the time they arrived. This is truly a hidden gem that the world is about to find out about. I am so happy that no guest had ever been there before and everyone experienced it together for the first time at my wedding! I can not say enough about the experience we had. It really was a dream wedding. They were so invested in the event's success and our happiness. And we were and are so happy. We are a part of the Estates family of events now and I love seeing all their pictures on Instagram of what I know is other ecstatic couples and families. Reviewed on 19-12-2023

If you are looking for a beautiful, unique backdrop for your wedding or big event, look no further than the Mariner Estate! The moment we toured the venue my wife and I knew that this place was special. The overall aesthetic of the Mariner Estate fit our vision of a Jazz Age/Art Deco theme wedding perfectly! The main hall was perfect for live music, with high ceilings, a big stage and beautiful baby grand piano. The surrounding landscape provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and pictures shortly thereafter. The coordinator and staff were easy to work with, professional and responsive to our needs. The channels of communication among ourselves, the site staff and event coordinators were excellent throughout the entire planning and execution. Big thanks to Yevgenia and Juan for everything they did to make our big day possible!,I would 100% recommend the Mariner Estate to any friends, family and even strangers in need of a classy and beautiful backdrop for their event.

The Mariner Estate team was incredible. They helped my husband and I through every detail of our reception. It went absolutely perfectly, and I couldn’t be more thankful to the team for everything they did for us. Jamie has amazing vision and an infectious enthusiasm that will make you feel so excited for the big day. Her love is evident for event planning, and it made it a joy to discuss ideas throughout the entire process. Yevgeniya will help you with every single detail and is committed to helping you execute the plan without a hitch. She gave me so much reassurance and was available for many (many, many) visits to the Estate to fine tune ideas and details. Juan is amazing and will run your event without a hitch. He knows the Estate in and out and there is no one better to make sure things run smoothly on the day! He will make you feel confident that all the vendors will be taken care of, and no details forgotten. Kristin will make you feel so cared about. She sees and pays attention to all the things you may forget to account for, and she is so kind and willing to help you with anything you might need. Her joy in helping you plan your day is so warm and you’ll feel so confident in every aspect of the plan. The Estate is perfect for indoor and outdoor activities. The brick is classic and timeless, and the decorations are beautiful and can be arranged to your liking. It’s simultaneously classy and posh, while also feeling comforting and familiar.If you are considering the Mariner Estate for your wedding, you should visit, and meet the team. Hudson and I will never forget our reception. All our memories of our families and friends that day are backdropped by the beautiful Estate. That was the best day of my whole life. There should be an option for more than 5 stars! Reviewed on 20-09-2023

Amber Stein(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-08-2022 The minute I walked through the doors and met Jamie and Yevgenia, I just knew this was where I would get married. My wedding will be regarded as one of the best days in life for my husband Mark and I and our families. The Estate is absolutely stunning. Every area is just beautiful. We had an outdoor ceremony that looked like a picture in a magazine. Our cocktail hour was on the patio and the ballroom is like no other. Our guests could not stop complimenting us. We can't wait to get our pictures. The food was exceptional as well. I think 2 people that attended the wedding may book other events there. Thank you to the Mariner Estate team for making our day so special. Reviewed on 20-09-2022
Johanna Vaughn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-11-2021 I can not say enough about the The Mariner Estate. The building is AMAZING! I still feel like I was living in a fairytale the whole day. My guests keep texting and calling saying that it was the best wedding they were ever at. The little fun details and picture ops that are in this space made for so much fun. I got ready with my mom and sister in the bridal suite and it was HUGE and perfect. We had a warm day so my guests were on the patio outside enjoying the evening under twinkle lights. The management team was so easy and great to work with and accommodated all of my needs and directed me to the perfect vendors. Anyone looking to have a unique and 5star wedding I encourage them to look at this estate. Really- BEST DAY EVER! Reviewed on 21-01-2022
