Bourne Mansion

There are no words to describe how much I can recommend Bourne Mansion. Miriam was incredible with helping me plan and organize the wedding of my dreams. She answered my emails timely, honestly and was always so kind and positive. Steven was the matredee that night and he was incredible. Steven was fun, efficient, professional and had our wedding running like a well oiled machine. ANYTHING my fiancé and I needed that night we got, no questions asked. The food at Bourne was delicious!!! Cocktail hour was so fun and had a million options!! Finally, the ballroom and mansion in general was as perfect as one could dream. If you want the elegant, black tie wedding of your dreams this is the place to book!

It is hard to overstate how spectacular our experience was at Bourne Mansion. Breathtaking grounds, stunning interiors, sumptuous cuisine, however, the service provided by the dedicated and talented staff is what made the whole more than even the sum of its parts. Kindness, professionalism, and organization every step of the way; including guidance through the planning process by Miriam. Everyone was excellent, but I must mention our maitre d', Jake, who went above and beyond in every way, making us comfortable and attending to our guests. The day went off spectacularly, he has a true talent for managing events and we were beyond delighted. Our guests can't stop talking about the food, service, and beautiful interiors and grounds of this venue. If we could get married again, we would do it all over just the same way. We couldn't have dreamed of a better day to celebrate our love.

I had my wedding at Bourne mansion yesterday 10/4/24. And oh my god they knocked it out of the park. Steve and Miriam particularly were so amazing, and made sure the planning process and day of ran absolutely perfect. Steve was at my husband and I's becking call and made sure we were taken care of completely. If you have any hesitations or doubts- DONT. Book Bourne Mansion if you want to absolutely wow and dazzle your guests.

We could not be happier with our wedding ceremony and reception at Bourne Mansion! Miriam, Steve and Sam were so amazing and wonderful to work with and made sure our ceremony and reception was so special and unique to our relationship and to our family. Our guests could not stop telling us how beautiful our venue was and how amazing the food was! I have to say everything was above and beyond my vision of what I wanted and even more beautiful and we even had a rainbow over all of us during our ceremony!!

I just had the most amazing wedding at Bourne this past weekend and I can't say enough good things about my experience. It was a pleasure working with Miriam, Jake and Sam. They made sure everything went smoothly and all my needs were met. The staff were incredibly attentive and all my guests had a fantastic time.

From start to Finish Bourne Mansion has been promot, attentive and accommodating. The staff went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly, and according to plan , so that my husband and I didn’t have to worry about anything and just enjoy our day

I could go on and on about Bourne for days honestly. Miriam was easily one of the best parts about booking Bourne, incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and charismatic. Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with and I accredit him for the reason our wedding was so perfectly seamless. Sam the bridal attendant was also AMAZING! Bourne speaks for itself with how visually stunning it is, the food was delicious, and I couldn’t be more confident it’s one of the best wedding Venues on Long Island. We had the most perfect day!

I can't say enough good things about the Bourne Mansion. I got married on July 12, 2024 and it was the most perfect special day that simply could not have been possible without the Bourne Mansion & Lessings staff. My husband and I felt supported in all of the many decisions that we were making throughout wedding planning. Everything ran so smooth the day of the wedding because of the effort and attention to detail from the Bourne Mansion staff.

We had our wedding at the Bourne Mansion, and it was an absolutely stunning venue. The beautiful outdoor ceremony and the grand ballroom for the reception created the perfect setting for our dream wedding. The staff was incredible, and the food was superb. Everyone raved about the many options during the cocktail hour, making it a highlight of the evening. Miriam, the director of sales, was fantastic. She answered all our questions and provided excellent recommendations. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, she consistently responded promptly, helping us feel confident and well-prepared. Steve was the Maitre D’, and he did an outstanding job ensuring everything ran smoothly and timely throughout the day. He took his responsibilities very seriously and worked hard to ensure we had the perfect night. Steve provided helpful advice and helped us resolve any issues that arose, both big and small. Overall, the Bourne Mansion exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue.

I had the most beautiful wedding at Bourne mansion. The whole process from start to finish was a breeze because of the incredible staff. Working with Miriam for the whole year and a half planning the wedding was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. Steve the night of was so great as well and the wedding ran so smoothly with no effort from me or my husband due to how attentive he was.

I cannot put into words how amazing it was to work with each person at the Bourne mansion. We got married on June 7, 2024 and the day was an absolute dream. From the day we met Miriam, she assured us that our wedding day was going to be spectacular, and it was that and MORE! She was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning process, answering any and all questions. She always led us in the right direction and had the best recommendations! Steve was our Maitre D, and he was absolutely incredible. He ensured that the schedule was followed and assisted each and every step of the way. He was very organized and not a beat was missed! Him and the bridal attendant worked so well with myself, my family, and bridal party so well the night of the wedding, i could not have asked for it to be run any smoother! Our experience with the Bourne mansion was absolutely incredible, and I wouldn’t change a single thing! From the first day i ever walked into the Bourne mansion for my first appointment with Miriam, to the end of my wedding night, was such a pleasure with the Bourne Mansion team. MY DREAM WEDDING!!!

Bourne was the perfect choice for our special day. Miriam went above and beyond helping up for the entire year and a half leading to our wedding. Jake our maitre d' did a fantastic job of making sure our day ran smooth. The food and service were out of this world honestly. #1 rec is to splurge on the mozz made in front of you!

My new husband and I could not be more happy that we chose Bourne Mansion for our wedding. From our first meeting with Miriam, we knew we were in good hands. She helped us through every step of the planning process and provided such a sense of comfort that everything would go smoothly - she was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect - we lucked out with the weather and our guests were able to enjoy every part of the mansion - everyone was impressed by the grounds, rooms, and especially the food! We were also grateful for Steve, our maitre d the day of who made sure everything went off without a hitch. All in all, the organized and thoughtful team at Bourne can't be beat!

Maitre d’ & Bridal attendant were great, bar tender was rude to us and our guest. Venue staff lacked communication with vendors which caused many hiccups in our ceremony and reception. Certain aspects of the wedding promised to us before final check was given we did not receive. Once our final check was handed in we never heard from Bourne or any lessing employee to follow up or check in day of or after our wedding. If I can choose again I would spend my money else where. Experiance was mediocre especially for the price tag.

Miriam is an amazing person, and a great help to getting to weddign all booked and cordinated, but the man of the hour who makes all your visions come to life is Steve Melita, this man goes above and beyond to make your special day a true dream come to life my wife and i coulndt be happier with everythign he did for us. t

We had our wedding at Bourne Mansion over Labor Day Weekend 2023, and it was pure magic! The venue is simply beautiful, the food was phenomenal and so so plentiful, and the staff were the consummate professionals! They have weddings down to a science. Miriam (Director of Mansion Sales) was a dream to work with! She was incredibly kind and caring, and offered great suggestions on everything: from setting our date, to vendors, to menu planning, to all the small details for the day, such as the table cards and card box. Steve (the maitre d') and Nicolette (the bridal attendant) made us feel completely taken care of throughout the entire day of our wedding. Steve runs a tight ship and has the wedding day planned down to the minute. Yet, the day doesn't feel overly programmed; under his oversight, the whole event simply glides seamlessly from one moment to the next and every detail was expertly managed. Nicolette was the master at pinning boutonnieres and was always standing by with a drink or anything else we might need. I know it sounds cliche, but we had the wedding of our dreams at Bourne.

What else can we say but wow. Steve and the lessings crew made our special day at the Bourne everything we could have dreamed of and way more. He was attentive to what we wanted and anything we needed he was there. Even things we didn’t think of like a cold rag to cool us off after dancing the night away. There’s really nothing that wasn’t perfect and he made sure everything we wanted was done perfectly. The food was amazing, our guests had a really great time and can’t stop talking about how everything was perfect. A very special thank you to Miriam for being there every step of the way and helped with every decision to guide us in the right direction. She made planning a wedding with Lessings at the Bourne mansion so simple. Miriam was there for us whenever we had a concern or a question and was an absolute pleasure working with her. We are super thankful to Miriam, Steve, Sam and the rest of the Lessings crew for making our dream a reality. It truly was more than we ever expected. We highly recommend them for your wedding and/or any other event you are thinking of having. I have no doubt they will go above and beyond to make it more than you could imagine. If we could give 100 stars we would. A review just isn’t enough to show how grateful we are for their hard work. We could not be any happier with the service, compassion and workmanship provided to us. Jess & Tony 08.24.2023

We had our wedding reception at the Bourne Mansion and it was everything we wanted and more. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the views are beautiful, the food was phenomenal, and the service was unlike anything we had ever seen before. Miriam was such a help throughout the entire planning process and on the night of the wedding, we were fortunate enough to have Steve as our maitre d, who kept the entire night organized, was extremely attentive and most importantly made the night fun for us and our guests. We had multiple guests tell us and our families that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. We are so happy we decided to have our wedding here and would recommend the venue to any couple.

We had our wedding at Bourne Mansion on 7/15/2023. Everything was utter perfection and the staff was a dream to work with. From the second we sat down with Miriam, I knew we were at the right place. She was always available for any and all of my questions. She gave the most wonderful recommendations and I don't think our wedding would have been the same if we didn't listen to literally everything she suggested. The night of there was a chance of rain which would have been a disaster for our fireworks, so Steve did literally everything he could to get the food out sooner to ensure we had our firework show and no one even realized! He was a dream to work with that night and everything ran like clockwork. Truly the best team by far and the most incredible, beautiful venue we could have picked. Our guests are still raving about the food and the small amount me and my husband were able to eat during some down time was so good. I am still dreaming about the sushi. If you want the best wedding and something your guests will talk about non-stop, then Bourne is the place!

When my fiancé and I first visited the Bourne, we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our thirteen year love story. Everything was more perfect than we anticipated. Aside from the gorgeous mansion, the food was outstanding and the staff, especially Steve and Miriam went above and beyond to make our wedding as magical as ever. Can we do it all over again next weekend?!

My husband and I had the most unbelievable and spectacular wedding at Bourne on 3.3.23. From start to finish, the Bourne Team was an absolute dream to work with. Miriam helped us with every detail of our wedding and was truly like having a built-in wedding planner. My husband and I both have very demanding work schedules and Miriam guided us through each step of the way. She went above and beyond and would answer our emails at all hours of the night! Steve, our maître de, made sure that the details at our wedding were executed perfectly. We did not miss a single special moment at our wedding because Steve made sure of it! Simply put he was and is the best! We were so lucky to work with Miriam, Steve, and the entire Bourne staff- they made our dream a reality! If I could give them a 10000 Star Rating I would!

We are so grateful that we found Bourne Mansion. The venue is absolutely beautiful so we knew we wanted to have our wedding there as soon as we stepped in, but what completely sold us was the exceptional service and support that we received from the start. Miriam is amazing! Right from the first meeting we knew that her guidance as well as flexibility would be a huge plus, and it was. She provided us with helpful tips ranging from which vendors to use in the area to what gifts to get our wedding party. As we were trying to plan our wedding ourselves, it was really helpful to have someone who was so knowledgeable and willing to offer advice. It is a luxury venue but you get what you pay for and more. The food was incredible! Our guests (including one who is a professional chef) still talk about the cocktail hour spread six months later. Cocktail hour was the highlight of the evening, but dinner was great too. The service at the tables as well as in the bridal suite was impeccable. From our first visit to Bourne Mansion to the end of our wedding reception, we felt completely taken care of. They are all pros who have done this for a long time and you will be in excellent hands if you go with them. Thank you Bourne Mansion for our incredible wedding!

Absolutely incredible!!!! We had the most amazing wedding reception experience at Bourne Mansion. The venue is beautiful, of course, and the staff is even better. Miriam was our initial point of contact and she helped us through the entire process to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams and was so helpful with all of our requests and needs throughout the journey. On the day of, our maitre’d Steven and bridal attendant Nicolette were incredible! They helped make sure that everything ran according to schedule and that we had everything we needed, so we were able to truly just enjoy the night and time with our family and friends. Steven is a must to make your wedding day run smoothly, he truly was the glue that held the entire day together! The food was also fantastic - we had lots of different stations and passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour, as well as late night snacks for our after party in the mansion at the end of the night. All of our guests said that they loved everything and were blown away! We couldn’t recommend Bourne Mansion and their team enough!

Let me just start off by stating that I got married at the Bourne Mansion 3 months after being engaged. Why would I try and get married in 3 months? Long story short, my husband convinced me we could do it by saying, "Let's just see what God can do Sweetie". Now, when I say God did it, I mean it because He used my family, friends, strangers, and the team at the Bourne Mansion to make our wedding day better than we could have imagined. I usually don't feel compelled to leave reviews online. However, after my experience working with Miriam, Steve, and the staff at the Bourne Mansion, I felt the need to share. Let me start by saying that from our initial meeting with Miriam, I felt seen, a warming sense of compassion, and a genuine feeling of care towards me and my fiancé. Miriam, the Sales Director, was understanding, accommodating, friendly, comprehensive, and encouraging and she has a great sense of style. Seeing that I didn't have the average timeframe to plan a wedding when compared to most brides, naturally I was concerned about things like the wedding day schedule. When I tell you I didn’t have to worry about a thing on my wedding day once I reached the mansion, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. As Steve put it, "You’ll be on autopilot and I'll guide you." On our wedding day, I felt as if I could breathe, be present and enjoy myself. Now there were a few things that I wish could have been a different reality, but only because we ended up having to have the ceremony inside. Because we had to be inside, we wish we could have had a rehearsal at the mansion before the wedding. You see, our wedding party consisted of 16 people and it was a slightly tight fit in the front during the ceremony. I was later informed that one of my bridesmaids had to sit down because she felt a bit faint. If you're having a smaller wedding party then you don’t have to concern yourself with that as a possible reality. Another point that I think is important to highlight is that the kitchen is located behind the wall where the ceremony will be held. Some of the kitchen staff were conversing loud enough to where some of the groomsmen had to open the door, step into the kitchen, and ask them to stop talking during the ceremony more than once. Granted, my husband and I still enjoyed our day and didn't let that damper a thing. I’m not complaining about that, but believe it is important to note. I'm sure they weren't being intentionally disruptive, but I wish they were mindful of how the sound travels into the ceremony room. Besides that, we thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day and a month later people are still reminiscing about the food, ambiance, staff, and overall experience. I also want to note that Steve looks and sounds slightly intimidating, but he has a great personality and was a great guy to work with. He is both highly skilled and efficient in what he does as an MD. Steve and his team took care of our vendors and we were able to take a good amount of food home with us after the wedding. If my husband and I were to get the chance to redo our wedding day, we would have it at the Bourne Mansion again with a few minor adjustments. If you read this looking to be convinced, I hope I helped. Thanks for your time, congratulations on your engagement, be kind and good luck with your search. With that being said, I hope your wedding turns out better than you could have anticipated.

Have your wedding here!!! We picked Bourne Mansion and my fiancé (now wife) cried as soon as she walked in. The food is amazing, the space is luxurious, and the band sounded great with the acoustics! All of our guests were stunned by the affair. Many say it was the best wedding they have been to. The staff were top notch. Steve, Miriam, and Nicolette are so professional and make the evening seamless. Steve was with us all night taking care of us, and facilitating the party. He helped us with so much, and so much that we didn't see. He truly has the bride and groom's best interests at heart! Want a wedding to remember? Have it at Bourne.

we had 164 guests total and it truly was the perfect amount. The mansion was just stunning and the food was amazing. Our guests are still raving about the food! Our guests loved being able to wander around the various rooms and feel like they’re in the Great Gatsby. Bournes staff and Maitre D were also incredible. They ensured we had a drink in our hands the entire time and just overall made us feel like royalty. The entire booking and planning process was simple and seamless. Bourne mansion made our wedding dreams truly come true.

We had the most magical wedding at Bourne!! Miriam is so amazing to work with and always quick/helpful with any questions you have. Steve treats you like a celebrity the day of. The whole staff working was fantastic!! We received countless compliments on the venue and everyone loved the food!

This venue is worth it 10/10. I just had my wedding here last month and all I can say is WORTH IT. My husband and I are extremely pleased and happy with the service we received throughout the entire process. Miriam is the absolute best in the business and will take care of all the wedding questions/details you might not be aware of. Steve was also a class act and helped us tremendously during the days prior to the wedding and the wedding day, you can trust that he will make sure everyone is in their positions and knows what to do and where to go. The team at the Bourne Mansion is a class above all the other venues we toured with my husband and can only say it’s a must for a dream wedding. Thank you guys for everything, the entire staff and team is the best!

I can't say enough good things about this venue, the staff and Miriam. We booked our wedding right before COVID hit and had a long engagement. Of course we were nervous and worried about what would happen but Miriam was there every step of the way with a positive attitude and encouraging words. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made my vision come to life. The food was absolutely fantastic and all of our guests it was the best dinner they have ever had at a wedding. Throughout the entire day, all the staff made sure we were happy, comfortable and constantly checked in on us. They took care of my 94 year old grandma who has difficulties walking which was fantastic. They are extremely detail oriented and it was such a wonderful experience. The grounds are beautiful, as is the mansion. We had an absolutely gorgeous day and could barely get our guests inside to dance. The sunset over the water was spectacular. We are so happy we booked the Bourne Mansion for our wedding!!

My husband and I were married on 8/26/22 and had our wedding reception at the Bourne Mansion. Both of us are admittedly perfectionists and had a lot of anxiety leading up to the wedding because we wanted everything to be great. Weddings are tough because you have to put a lot of trust in your vendors to execute your vision on the wedding day, and you can only control so much. I can honestly say that Bourne Mansion exceeded our expectations, and made everything the day of run SO smoothly and perfectly. Miriam was fabulous about answering our many late night emails, and Steve made sure he executed on everything we had outlined to him in our detailed notes. Even when we noticed one thing off when we previewed the ballroom before all other guests (we wanted to have normal bride/groom chairs instead of the fancy ones), Steve immediately had them replaced within seconds! Everyone at Bourne is so experienced and they know exactly how to run a wedding, keep the bride and groom happy, keep the parents of the bride/groom and everyone else happy and stress free, so that they can enjoy the special day. I am eternally grateful that they made our wedding so fabulous and that I can feel that every penny was well spent on this venue. All of our guests continue to rave about how absolutely stunning and well executed our wedding was. Thank you again to everyone at Bourne for one amazing wedding!!

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Bourne Mansion and the staff is. We wanted an elegant, magical wedding and Bourne exceeded our expectations. Our guests are calling our wedding the “wedding of the century.” Everyone was blown away by the food, service and elegance of Bourne. Our Maitre’d Steve ran a tight ship and ensured everything ran perfectly. He was also so funny and contributed to us having the best time! My friends are still raving about him! Our bridal attendant, Nicolette, did my bustle and was very sweet. All of the staff was very professional and there weren’t any complaints about the service. I would recommend booking your wedding at Bourne Mansion 10000 times over. It was the best decision we ever made!

We had our dream wedding at the Bourne Mansion in August 2021 and were extremely pleased with the results. The entire team can easily be defined as true professionals. Their responsiveness, flexibility, and efficiency make you feel comfortable in the planning process and their focus and attention to detail in the night of execution is impeccable. Miriam was incredibly warm, possesses a strong taste level, and was easy to work with, offering great advice and was always someone we looked forward to seeing during our planning meetings. Steve was phenomenal and ensured the event went perfectly!! He catered to our every need at the wedding and was always accessible. Thank you for everything Bourne Mansion, we thoroughly enjoyed our wedding and highly recommend!

Bourne Mansion did not disappoint. This venue is magical. Steve was attentive and had us at ease coordinating our day and Miriam was only a call or email away answering any questions and assisting us with the many options the Mansion has to offer. We had a perfect day and evening on 6/24/22.

I cannot begin to express how amazing our wedding was at Bourne Mansion. Steve took such incredible care of us at the venue and ensured we were taken care of. He worked with our vendors to ensure setup was setup beautiful and our timeline was so smooth. We were constantly on timeline. The food was amazing, the venue was beautiful. Our guests raved about their experience at Bourne mansion and said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Hands down best decision we made!

Bourne Mansion was above and beyond what we could have imagined for our wedding day. In addition to the amazing atmosphere and "look" of the venue itself, we were so thankful to work with Miriam Aronson and Steve Melita. Leading up to our wedding day, Miriam was truly amazing. Her guidance, advice, quick responses to questions, and overall assistance to us was so greatly appreciated. On our wedding night, Steve Melita was our Maitre D. He was amazing! He went above and beyond not only for me and my husband, but for our parents as well, which was so appreciative. Prior to our wedding, he even made sure that the bar was stocked with my Dad's favorite liquor on our wedding night. His ability to run such a timely and smooth night with all of his staff members is truly amazing. He was a friend by the end of the night! As to the venue itself, it is truly unbelievable, and definitely speaks for itself! Thank you Miriam, Steve, and your whole team. Our wedding day was truly the best day ever, and that is all we wanted to be able to say!

The Bourne mansion was absolutely everything my husband Harry and I could have ever dreamt about. When we first went to visit the Bourne mansion we drove down the most dramatic road that has a wonderful meadow setting with trees and grass. You go over a beautiful little bridge and arrive at tall black gates and look at the water fountain and enormous brick building. We had chills. We walked in to the mansion and being that my husband and his family is all from England I thought that the architecture reminded me of being in England. Then we proceeded to the ballroom and I turned around and saw a beautiful walk way at the top of the room and turned and look at Harry and Harry looked at me and my mom who was with us and we both said this is it. From that moment on I found every excuse to go to the Bourne mansion. We get chills every time we walked in. Miriam is an absolute sweet heart. Anytime I sent an email or needed something she immediately would get back to me. Her thoughtfulness and caring personality was and truly is one of the main reasons we also chose this place. She didn’t allow us to forget any details. The day of our wedding Steve was our maître d’ and was on it. He had everything in order down to the second. We absolutely loved how he had everyone in law and order mode. The food was incredible, all guests couldn’t stop raving about cocktail hour and the food at dinner. We had a small issue with the cake from rolling pin but Steve came to the rescue and was able to present us with a fast make up cake. All in all it was the best day we could have ever imagined. Highly recommend the Bourne if you are looking for a class act, prestige, elegant and unforgettable wedding. Thank you Steve and Miriam for all that you do day in and day out.

We have nothing but praises for the Bourne Mansion. From the moment we met Miriam Aronson until the day of the wedding when she met us at the front door when we arrived, she was there for us every step of the way. Always got right back to us with any questions we had and literally walked us through the entire process and eased our minds. The venue looked beautiful and we had access to the whole mansion during cocktail hour. It was amazing walking room to room with the gorgeous food displays. The food at both cocktail hour and the reception was excellent and plentiful. The main ballroom was stunning and was everything we ever dreamed it would be. Jake the maitre'd and the staff were wonderful and attentive all night long. This is a magical place for a wedding and we could not have asked for anything more!

There are no words to describe the Bourne Mansion and everyone that is affiliated with this magnificent venue. From the minute my daughter spoke to Miriam on the phone to book an appointment to tour the mansion, (way back in 2019) her and her fiancee knew, site unseen, that this was going to be the place for their wedding reception. Bourne was the first (and only) place they wanted to see. From the minute they walked into the lobby, the decision was made. We booked November 2020 but, of course, had to postpone until April 2021. The restrictions were lifted only 3 weeks before so we decided to stay with our original plan of having a micro wedding for 50 of our family and friends knowing that we would book yet another date for the big reception. Fast forward to Saturday, April 23, 2022 we finally got to celebrate "Bourne Style". They pulled out no stops in making sure our daughter and son-in-law's reception was the one they dreamed of for three years. I'll start with Jennifer, our bridal attendant. She did everything for us!! Always right there making sure we had whatever we needed. From helping us carry bags, bustling trains and dealing with two dress malfunctions (she was there in seconds with her needle and thread) she was amazing!! Then there is Steve! Where do I start. He ran the show and it was truly a Broadway hit!! His attention to detail is off the charts. Our daughter got the chance to see what it was like to have her own bodyguard!! Always checking in on her and her husband and me and mine, "big daddy" ;). Our glasses and dinner plates were never empty! And finally, last but certainly not least....our go-to girl....Miriam. What can I say about this woman? From the moment we met her, we knew she was so very special. A kind spirit and a heart big enough to fill a room. She was always our calming voice during the stressful "pandemic years" and we truly love her! We will never forget how much she did for us!! If you are looking for a venue and reading all these review for Bourne, I could let you know that every single five star rating is well-deserved. Look no further!! You can keep the Oheka!! Bourne Mansion is THE ONLY place to have your storybook wedding! BOOK IT!!!!! YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!

Steve made our wedding night the most incredible night of our lives. We owe him a million thank yous!!!!! He left nothing for us to worry about and took care of every single thing big and small. We always had a drink in our hand, he made sure to swap us with waters every so often, and that we had our dinner and cake! We actually were all set enjoying our after party when he pulled us back into the ballroom which was almost completely cleared except our table to sit down and eat our untouched cake which made for an unforgettable memory. His expertise and energy made our night so perfect and we truly wouldn’t have had the night we did without him! We shared so many laughs and great times that I will cherish forever. He was incredible with our bridal party, and they wish we could have a wedding with him every weekend lol!!!!! Nicolette is amazing and I wish I could bring her everywhere with me!!!! She was incredible and unbelievably attentive!!!! She was on top of every single thing and like Steve always made sure we had drinks, food, and anything else we needed. My dress was very heavy and had 7 bustles which was a concern for me leading up to the big day. Nicolette is a rockstar and got every single one perfectly, and I didn’t have to adjust anything throughout the night. When it came time for a second dress she quickly and efficiently got me out of my giant dress and into the next before I could miss anything!!! She made sure to take great care of my mom and her bustle as well, along with the entire rest of the bridal party and all our needs. My day wouldn’t have been nearly as smooth and coordinated if it weren’t for her, so thank you to her for making our special day so perfect!! Miriam is an absolute gem!!! From the very beginning she worked so closely with us, our budget, and made sure we got all the things we were looking for. Her advice and suggestions were perfect, and we appreciated her guidance through everything. We didn’t have to worry about anything leading up to the big day because we knew we were in the best hands. The coordination with all the vendors, the internal staff, and us was seamless. We left every meeting feeling so confident that she was going to nail everything we needed and wanted. I was so happy to work with Miriam for the best day of our lives and wish we could do it all over again just to experience it all one more time!!! I am an interior designer with a love for historic preservation so the mansion itself was one of the easiest yeses of my life! With the architecture aside - the food, the team, and everyone involved was absolute perfection. Our guests are still talking about the food and how incredible it all was. Our meals were just as delicious as the tasting we had, and the cocktail hour food was to die for. The waitstaff, bartenders, and every single person involved were all amazing. Everyone was so attentive to us and our guests and many people are still talking about the amazing conversations shared amongst the team. I also might be bias, but my signature drink was a margarita and I had the best margaritas of my life the entire night!!!!! I cannot thank everyone enough for coordinating such an amazing day for my husband and I. We got to enjoy every single moment of the day and didn’t have a single thing to worry about. I would choose Bourne Mansion 10/10 times if I had to do it again!!!!

I am left completely speechless over our fairytale of a wedding this past weekend! The first time I set foot in the Bourne Mansion, I knew this was the venue where my fiancé & I needed to get married! The elegance, the simplicity yet historical twist and overall presentation is truly indescribable. Our lovely event coordinator, Miriam couldn’t have been more genuine, caring and supportive with creating a beautiful night for us. Steve our rockstar of a maitre’D truly ran the show! From A-Z he was on top of everything all night and made sure we had nothing to worry about besides having the time of our lives! My amazing bridal attendant, Nicolette was outstanding! There for me for our every move! To the entire staff at the mansion, the atmosphere, the service, the food were all unforgettable! My guests are in awe of what an experience they had, and the quality of the delicious food, thanks to your amazing chef! I would recommended the Bourne Mansion over & over again!! My amazing vendors all knocked it out of the park - Satisfaction Guaranteed, Studio 27, Danielle’s Florist, Rolling Pin Bakery! I wish I can relive this night all over again, but am forever grateful for celebrating our marriage at The Bourne Mansion!

Spectacular - that is the word that first comes to mind when I look back on the entire experience for my daughter and son-in law. A dense fog had fallen on Long Island that day, but there were so many beautiful photo options at the Bourne Mansion, it did not matter. Miriam and Steve - you went above and beyond to make all of us feel like the most important family in the world. As for the experience for our guests...each phase of the wedding provided our guests with a new and magical experience. The ceremony was memorable. The cocktail hour was filled with great food, a huge selection for all palates and each room had its own special atmosphere. We could then hear them gasp as they entered the beautiful ballroom . Everyone still talks about it. All we can say is a heartfelt and genuine thank you for a magical experience that we will never forget. XO

We originally booked Bourne Mansion in the spring of 2019 for a Fall 2020 wedding. As so many couples did, we had to postpone our wedding and were married at the Bourne in October of 2021. We feel so grateful that we worked with Lessings and the Bourne Mansion team. They were fair, kind and professional through our postponement. On the day of our wedding, guests were wowed by the beautiful back-drop Bourne Mansion provides. Guests also raved about the delicious food and fabulous service. We felt so lucky to have worked with Miriam throughout our planning process. She was responsive, helpful and genuinely cared about making our event as special as possible. Steve and his team helped our event run smoothly the night of the wedding. We feel very lucky to have been able to spend the best day of our lives in such a beautiful space and being cared for by the very best in the business! We cannot recommend Lessing's and the Bourne Mansion team enough.

My daughter and son in law were finally able to have the wedding reception of their dreams after it was postponed for a year. When we first visited the Bourne my daughter knew this was where she wanted her reception. From the first meeting Miriam, the event planner was calm and comforting and provided all the tips and direction we needed to navigate and plan a perfect day. She was so responsive to all our questions and concerns which given the state of the pandemic was no easy task. On the day of our wedding Steve the Maitre D ran the event to perfection! He provided the guidance and suggestions to the bridal party to make the experience fun as well as smooth.And the bridal attendant was very attentive to the bride and grooms needs. And the food was amazing! I expected it to be good but it was fantastic. We have had rave reviews from all our guests from the event space, to the staff to the food. I would highly recommend the Bourne Mansion for a perfect wedding!

When we got engaged back in 2019, and set my eyes on the Bourne Mansion, we knew that was the place, as it was similar to Dorothy seeing the Emerald City for first time. Our dream wedding was realized on October 28th, and I will never forget this beautiful day, as it's etched in my mind forever. Please remember, it took "a village" like Miriam my Event Planner, whose attention to detail and countless hours setting the foundation, was magnificent. On my magical day, Steve Melita the Maitre D, choreographed the event like a skilled conductor of a symphony, where no stone was left unturned. Miriam and Steve's efforts were stellar. Furthermore, sprinkle in the wedding attendant Jennifer... and the tremendous staff, made this a wedding you see in Beverly Hills. I can't forget the magnificent flower arrangements dripped in crystals provided by Something Blue. To my amazing vendors Absolute Entertainment, Park Avenue Studio, Melinda Cantor, Campbells Bakery, Beauty Mark Spa, made this a complete masterpiece. Therefore it is with sincere honor, and without reservation, I write my review. Sincerely, Gina and Sabbath Troisi

My wedding here was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! It was better than I ever dreamed and the people who work there made our planning/day easy! Miriam is awesome and answers all of your questions, giving you tips along the way to help your planning. And Steve was our maitre D and he was AMAZING!! He made sure that we had food and drink in our hand at all times, directed us and took the stress off of us to remember anything and made it so easy! Our wedding was beautiful and fun. The food was also fantastic! We got so many compliments on the venue afterwards!

I can’t think of enough good things to say. Each time you visit, Bourne Mansion is always more impressive than you remember it. From the very beginning Miriam was amazing, understood our vibe & made recommendations along the way. We were originally November 2020, & the shitty decision to postpone was made so much easier and painless by Miriam. Day of, Bourne was amazing. Steve, his staff, Nicolette our bridal attendant are the best of the best. From our final meeting until we got on the bus at the end of the night, they had every single aspect handled and kept us calm. We had to bring our outdoor ceremony inside within 45 minutes of start time because of a TORNADO, and Steve kept us focused on the positive, never rushed or pushed us and made sure everything, including our moms, was handled. They are just as good as it gets. us, our families were taken care of all night, just the most incredible service. Everyone is still raving about the venue and the food.

I can't say enough amazing things about the Bourne Masnion! Everything from start to finish was pure perfection. Steve, our maitre d for the day was key to making everything run smoothly, we couldn't have done it without him! The best venue, the best people, the best day. Could not recommend enough!

We look forward to our paths crossing again in the future!

The Bourne Mansion was absolutely PERFECT for my husband and I! We had booked this venue in 2019 (pre-covid) and while we had to postpone, Miriam was so responsive and helpful throughout the rescheduling process. On the day of, all of the staff was extremely accommodating and made our day so seamless. We wanted to give a HUGE shout out to Steve, our Maitre'D for the day as he truly was the best to work with. He always made sure we were both catered to and hyped up our bridal party throughout the entire reception. We are SO happy with the Bourne Mansion and cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

Did you ever fantasize about a fairytale wedding? After looking through tons of venue websites, Bourne jumped to the top of the list. It was the first we visited and we knew right away it was where we were supposed to get married. We did due diligence, but after the other tours, it was clear there was only one right choice. Miriam was a dream to work with. So kind, sweet, supportive. She was there to help whenever you needed it. She was also so honest. She shot straight on things we did and didn’t need, where to allocate our budget, recommendations on vendors, etc. The food was fantastic- an incredible selection of cocktail hour station and passed hors d’oeuvres; delicious entrées; a mind blowing dessert display; and we had a bacon, egg & cheese to go station. The service was impeccable. They serve everyone at each table at the same time (6 servers with a plate in each hand place them down simultaneously). The mansion itself if gorgeous. It starts with a long drive up the driveway, the whole time soaking in the mansion. On our wedding day, several deer were running across the perfectly green front lawns. The back of the mansion is the perfect place for both an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour if the weather is nice. Just look at the shots on the website. Such a beautiful backdrop. And there are a ton of great places for pictures both in and outside. The bridal attendant (Nicolette) was fantastic. Always by my wife’s side and ready to assist in any way possible. The maître ds (Matt aka Doc) and Jake were brilliant. They meticulously coordinated everything like a well-rehearsed play. And they were both so nice. Our parents all brought up how much they liked them—I’ve never been to a wedding where the maître d was complimented until this. The team at Bourne is unbelievably top notch. Overall, I could not recommend Bourne enough.

When we first set foot at the Bourne, in July 2019, we immediately felt that sense of a warm, vintage, classy environment, which would be the perfect setting for our daughter, Allyson's, wedding. The Mansion is absolutely gorgeous and and charming! Meeting and working with Miriam, the Mansion Director, throughout the entire process was truly a delight. She was like my fairy godmother, holding my hand throughout the complete planning of this event. Unfortunately, our wedding was postponed due to Covid (like many others) but Miriam worked flawlessly to help me reschedule our date and vendors to 9/4/2021. And what a wedding we had!!! Miriam has such a warm, inviting personality, and answered all of my questions and concerns at any time, even when she had a day off. We were even chatting about details late one Thursday evening. Who does that??? I could not have had this exquisite event without her right by my side. And of course, Steve, our maitre' d, met with us several days before the big day, finalizing our timeline and details. His professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire evening, which he executed impeccably. Steve was so attentive to every detail and took care of my every concern. He treated our guests (including me, the mother of the bride, and Ally and Taylor) with utmost care and perfection. Our wedding day was perfect from the very beginning to the very end! Our guests are raving about the affair, including the charming Bourne Mansion, the food, the staff's professionalism, the decor, the outdoor ceremony, and every little detail that made our wedding so so special. Thank you, Bourne, and a special thanks to Miriam and Steve. We could not have had the wedding of our dreams without you!!!

Bourne Mansion truly exceeded our wedding venue expectations. The venue is absolutely stunning, the food was delicious, and the staff is extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Relative to other Long Island wedding venues we were considering, Bourne by far provided the best overall value. Leading up to our wedding, Miriam was always available to answer all of our questions. She always provided candid and honest feedback and opinions. The day of our wedding, Steve (Maître d) ran such an incredibly tight ship, always making sure we were sticking to our desired schedule and ensuring my husband and I were exactly where we needed to be (with drinks in our hands :) ) for all of our special moments. Steve and the rest of the Bourne 'day of' staff are true professionals. I do wish Bourne would let the bridal parties get ready onsite at the venue, which is not something they allow anymore, but even without this, the venue was an absolute dream and allowed all of our wedding dreams to come true !

My daughter’s wedding was August 6, 2021. It was amazing!! The food, staff, room, everything. Steve and the staff were very professional. I can’t say enough about it. The bride and groom were very happy! It was the wedding of their dreams! If you are having a wedding you will be very happy with the Bourne Mansion. Lynn G. Mother of the bride!!

From the moment we walked in we knew this venue was one our guests would remember. The multiple rooms, the amazing outdoor space/ceremony spot, and huge unique ballroom is all unforgettable. We sat down with Miriam at our first meeting and she was more than helpful with whatever we needed. She made sure everything we wanted was being covered and spent over 45 minutes with us answering any questions we had. After booking, COVID hit and we lost touch with her as expected. In our final meeting with her 3 months before to get final details it felt like some things got lost in translation, so a lot of emails were sent after, and Miriam was quick to respond to all my emails. We had Steve as our day of coordinator and the only thing I can say is a wish we met with him earlier than 4 days before the wedding. So many details were discussed in that meeting that I wish we were able to find out and figure out before then. I will admit I was scared to meet/work with Steve after hearing some reviews that he was a "hard ass" or "tough to work with", but after working with him the day of our wedding I can't say enough positive things. Yes he was a hard ass but that is what you need when you want your wedding to go smoothly. He made sure everything ran exactly as planned. The day of our wedding was a hot and humid one, my husband overheated after a long day of taking pictures, and an outdoor ceremony, when coming back to the bridal suite before our reception he ended up getting sick. Steve was there and helped him get himself ready to go for the reception, brought him a ginger ale and bread as soon as we sat down and made sure he was good to go the rest of the night. I can't thank him enough for that. Needless to say we had an amazing day and our guests absolutely loved the venue.

I got married at the Bourne Mansion on May 15, 2021 and it was perfect! I was a Covid bride who had to unfortunately reschedule the big day from 2020. As soon as we went to Bourne for a site visit, I completely fell in love with the vintage glam environment and envisioned myself as a bride there! In the beginning, my only concern was whether the food would be amazing or not because they do not do any tastings beforehand – word to the wise, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. Our guests are still raving about how professional the team was and how incredible our cocktail hour, dinner, and Viennese dessert room (do it, it is completely worth it) was! Working with Miriam was one of my favorite parts about this venue. She was so helpful and a complete pleasure to work with and bounce ideas off of even when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid. She has such a warm personality and had the best suggestions for our best day. Then our maitre’d for the big day was Steve who was equally amazing! Let me tell you what surprised me the most about the Bourne staff leading up to and especially on the day of my wedding, they all actually cared about making it the most seamless and perfect day for me. You would think that they would be over it since it is weddings all the time, but that is not the case. Steve was so excited for us and took our day so seriously to make us feel extra special even with the covid rules that was still in effect at the time. Even as there was a minor flaw in the evening (no one else noticed aside from the two of us) by the DJ, Steve was already on it. Also, we had a few cultural elements in our ceremony that the venue happily accommodated. The support that we received from the entire staff and the seamless execution of our big day was unmatched. I highly recommend Bourne Mansion for your big day!

We got married June 19th, 2021 at Bourne Mansion and after 1.5 years of planning and all the changes brought alla COVID our day was perfect. Its funny you have no idea how these things will turn out, but from start to finish our Wedding at Bourne was everything we hoped for and more. The food was incredible, the staff and team made sure everything went according to schedule, and above everything else took such good care of my husband and I, our families, and our wedding party. One thing to highlight - STEVE! He is incredible. We were so incredibly lucky to have him with us on our wedding day. From ceremony through to the last song he was with us every step of the way, made us extremely comfortable, kept the day moving, and made sure everyone was having an incredible time. Everyone at Bourne was so professional and accommodating and truly helped exceed our expectations. We also would like to thank Miriam for helping behind the scenes throughout the entire planning process. She knows what makes a great wedding and has some great concepts she will share with you to make your day unforgettable. Thank you Bourne!

We had the wedding of our dreams at Bourne. The sales director Miriam Aronson is amazing and she was a big reason we chose this venue. She was completely honest with us and everything she promised was better then expectations. It was apparent, from our first meeting, that she genuinely cared about us enjoying our planning process and our wedding. Pre-wedding we had a meeting with Steve Melita, Lessings General Manager. He walked us through the full timeline of the day to make sure we were comfortably prepared. Steve is very professional and caring. Our host the day of the wedding was Jake. Such an unbelievably great guy. He made sure everything went smooth and that we accomplished as many things on our list as possible while avoiding any added stress. The full staff (servers, bartenders, etc) were completely on point the day of the event. The bridal attendant was so sweet and my wife felt very comfortable with her immediately. An underappreciated point that I think ended up being quite important, the best vendors in the area seem to love working with Bourne and they all knew about Miriam and Steve's reputation for caring professionalism. Overall the food was great and in abundance, the drink service was terrific, and the guests really liked the paella station and the Mr softee truck we arranged for the last 2 hours of the party. My wife and I are so happy with the wedding we had and would strongly recommend the Bourne Mansion and the people who made it happen.

My husband and I are so happy we chose the Bourne Mansion to be our wedding venue! We went on a whim to a bridal expo 2 weeks after we got engaged and we were sold. From the moment we met Miriam, who is their wedding coordinator, we felt we were in such good hands. Any time I had a question, I'd text or email her, and she'd get right back! She helped with all the small details and our wedding day was perfect. We wanted to get married outside but the weather wasn't cooperating and the staff seamlessly moved our ceremony to the beautiful oak room inside. And the food!! People are still talking to us about how amazing the food was! If you want your dream fairytale wedding day, look no further than Bourne!

The second I got to Bourne Mansion I knew it was going to be my wedding venue and I cancelled all other venue appointments. Besides the fact that the venue is out of this world stunning, when I met Miriam I knew I had to work with her. She was so amazing helping us plan every little detail, and even with having to postpone our wedding due to COVID, she made it so easy and less stressful. The night couldn't have gone any more perfect and all of our guests can't stop talking about how it was the best wedding they've been to! I wish we could do it all over again!

Our wedding at Bourne Mansion was breathtaking. We can't express how incredible it was to have our wedding at this special venue. From the very beginning, Miriam was amazzzzing! She became our fairy godmother. She always greeted us with care and made us feel so special. I am forever grateful for her support and gui
