Bourne Mansion

how amazing Miriam, the Director at the mansion, would be. For the whole year Miriam was there every step of the way working with us and helping us plan to make every aspect of our night perfect. We were due to be married in early March and had to make the painful decision to cancel the wedding the week of(!) due to the pandemic... The weeks leading up to that decision were some of the most stressful and difficult I have had to deal with but Miriam was with us every step of the way. She let us know she supported any decision we made while also being as accommodative and flexible as a business could be to help us pull if off. As I said, we ultimately decided to cancel indefinitely as we had guests flying in from all over the country as well as a number of family who were especially vulnerable. Miriam worked with us through this whole process and was completely understanding. Right now we're still trying to determine when we can re-plan our wedding amongst all of the uncertainty but one thing is sure, The Bourne Mansion is our pick. I can't review the wedding night or any services we would have received but I can tell you that the venue and the grounds are absolutely beautiful and our experience working with Miriam was the next best thing. Planning a wedding is difficult enough, having a venue with someone who will help you with the tough decisions every step of the way is a huge benefit. Thank you Miriam!

work with. Miriam is amazing and so helpful in planning every detail along the way. She is truly gifted at her role! And Steve was incredible! He made sure every single detail went over well and ran the night seamlessly! We are eternally grateful to everyone at the Bourne!!! We could not have had a more perfect day!

y. She’s with you from start to finish and will always be available for your questions and concerns. This venue really speaks for itself. It’s beautiful and spacious and gives your guests an experience they will talk about long after your wedding. This is not a venue you will have to spend extra money on to dress up or decorate. The service and the food is fantastic and nobody at your wedding will go home hungry or disappointed (an Italian brides promise). We can’t express how grateful we are for Miriam and the staff at Bourne for giving us an amazing day that we will forever hold in our hearts.

a science and there was not one issue on our big day! Our guests raved about the beautiful mansion and gorgeous grounds. Our wedding was in early December on a cold day, but that didn't stop our guests from taking photos outside against the beautiful sunset backdrop! The Christmas decorations were up for our wedding and that was such a great bonus! The cocktail hour was absolutely amazing. The variety of offerings and the quantity/quality of food provided is unmatched-and we have been to a lot of weddings over the years. Our Maitre d' for the day was Jake. He was so nice and made sure everything went according to plan. My husband and I enjoyed every second of our day and are so thankful to all of the staff at the Bourne Mansion who made it possible!

mendations and offered great advice. Our maitre’d, Steve, was absolutely incredible. He was so organized and made the entire day and night run smoothly. He orchestrated an amazing ceremony and made the reception enjoyable for us. Whenever we needed anything, he already had it done. My husband and I were simply amazed by Steve. He not only made the night enjoyable for us, but also helped both our family and friends with anything they needed. Thank you so much for making our wedding so perfect. Miriam & Steve, you truly are a dream team!!

helpful feedback on what will work and what won’t work, everything feels much simpler. While it is easy to focus on what you want your venue to look like for your big day, you can’t fully appreciate how critically important a good support system the Bourne staff is until you actually experience them yourself. Our wedding day was so so so 100% perfect and I cannot imagine it anywhere other than the Bourne Mansion

s been an incredible resource. She has taken the time to make my fiance and me feel truly cared for and supported, and this really shone during when we decided to postpone. I was anxious about the entire postponement process and rebooking all of my vendors, but Miriam's direction and expertise eased my nerves and made it a breeze. I can't speak more highly of the Bourne and Miriam. Thank you, Miriam! You are one of a kind!

wanted us and our guests to have a special experience, and I felt Bourne was able to deliver that (and more) to us and them. Miriam was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was patient with us, guided us through selections, was prompt in her responses, and so very kind and helpful. As a bride, I found her expertise to be such an asset; she got to know my husband and I throughout the process and gave great advice throughout planning and was spot-on with the estimated budget she gave us the first day we met with her. Miriam was up front with us, while also being warm and kind. I was so happy I got to see her for a minute the day of our wedding and that she got to see my vision come to life after a year of planning and talking to her about it. Steve was our maître d. We met with him about a week or two before our wedding to finalize timeline and details. My husband and I felt that we were extremely well taken care of and that we were his utmost priority. He has a schedule that he’s perfected from years in the business, but seamlessly worked with my husband and I when it was important for us to do one or two things in a different order than what he initially proposed. We deferred to Bourne’s staff for their professionalism and expertise throughout the planning process and are so glad we did. I know a lot of people must say this, but for my husband and I, our wedding day was perfect from start to finish. Much of that perfection is due to the staff at Bourne, and we are forever indebted. We were lucky enough to get a dusting of snow on our Winter wedding day. While my husband and I were taking pictures outside, Jennifer, my bridal assistant, walked the entire driveway to make sure we had hot tea and whatever else we needed. Also, in the moment right before my husband and I were to be announced into the ballroom, my husband stepped on my dress which broke my bustle. Steve called for Jennifer and she flew in out of nowhere and fixed it in a matter of seconds! We didn’t skip a beat and our guests were none the wiser. Steve truly catered to my husband and I throughout the night --- he made sure we had plenty of water, drinks, and that we actually sat to eat food; and, of course, that things ran on time. The staff was so kind to us; all of our decorations were placed perfectly as per my instructions and packed up neatly at the end of the night to take home. One of the things that my husband particularly loved about Bourne was the fact that we got to enjoy the cocktail hour with our guests. The food was delicious, and the staff had plates from the various stations we chose upstairs in the bridal suite for us to enjoy before the reception started. We particularly loved the paella station for cocktail hour. Overall, the food was outstanding. Favorites at dinner were the filet and the seared tuna. We opted for a Viennese hour and both us and our guests were blown away the sheer amount of cake and cookies that were provided (it literally filled a room)! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making my wedding day better than I could have anticipated. Bourne Mansion will hold a special place in our hearts.

ine that our wedding which was scheduled for March 27, 2020 would end up being postponed due to COVID19. As you can imagine, this was an extremely difficult and anxious time for us. Despite this set of circumstances which were completely out of our control, Miriam Aronson and the phenomenal staff at the Bourne Mansion, went above and beyond in our team of need! They were immediately responsive and miraculously did everything in their power to seamlessly arrange our new wedding date. Most importantly, they set all of our worries and concerns at ease. There are no words that can describe how truly grateful we are to the Bourne Mansion. I highly recommend this amazing venue! Contact Miriam, she is the very best!!

with the uncertainty of what will happen, I know that the Bourn Mansion will make sure I have my dream wedding. Miriam has been extremely helpful during this stressful process. She's always there to answer my questions, steer me in the right direction, and make sure that my needs are being met. I'm not sure what the future holds or when I will be getting married, but I do know that I am in great hands with Miriam and the rest of the team at Bourne Mansion!!

e start and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the start we had a list of different options in regards to our choice of venue and of course we had to set our bar high by visiting the Mansion first. We had walked through the venue and it just so happened that there was an appointment cancellation with Miriam and let’s just say, we had our date 30 minutes after. Between both her and Steve, our night was and forever will be the greatest nights of our lives. Thank you Miriam and Steve, you guys are the best of the best! Steve even made sure I had my favorite dessert before anyone!

hrough the fog on a rainy December day we knew the Bourne Mansion was magical. We met with Miriam and absolutely fell in love with the place. Everything from the planning and the meetings to the actual wedding day was so easy and flawless. The Bourne Mansion staff really knows what they are doing, everything is so professionally put together and they have it down to a fine science. Our wedding day was perfect, everything went so smooth and honestly was very stress free. The whole wedding process was stress free because we knew we were in good hands with a highly professional team. Our guest had an amazing time and we are being told it was hands down the best wedding most of our guest have been too.  The attention to detail by Miriam was so impressive and Asia our bridal attendant was so kind and by our sides the whole night making sure things were just right. Our Matre d, Jake, was unbelievable!! He was the BEST!  He was so on top of everything and he made us feel so special. Not only was he so attentive to us but to our parents and our bridal party as well. He was constantly checking in on them making sure everyone was ok and had a drink. He really made our night so special and was there for us for anything we needed. The Bourne Mansion team is truly the dream team and we feel so lucky to have started our marriage off in such a beautiful place surrounded by not only our friend and family but such amazing people from the Bourne Mansion team. If you are considering the Bourne Mansion look no further this is the place!!

hat compared – the Bourne is magical! Miriam, the Director of Mansion sales was AMAZING to work with. Even from our first meeting she was giving us helpful ideas for the day of our wedding. She is very honest, gives sincere opinions from everything with the center pieces to food options to bathroom baskets, and even tells you when she doesn’t think something is worth the money. The week before the wedding – I spoke to her almost every day going over everything to make sure we were covered – she went above and beyond to make herself available. Our Maitre D Steve made sure everything ran extremely smooth. He worked with all of our vendors so that everything was on time and most of all – that me and my husband were able to have fun! He really knows exactly what he is doing and really makes you feel special! The guests are still raving about how beautiful the mansion is and how amazing the food was! (The Filet Mignon with the Gorgonzola crust was a huge crowd pleaser!) The ballroom really looks magical when it is all set up – me and my husband couldn’t get over it! The high ceilings make the ballroom breathtaking! Miriam and Steve really make you feel like you are family and made the whole wedding process so fun for me and my husband and our families. They truly make the day so special for you. I would recommend the Bourne 1000%! I hope one day I’m able to be a guest at a wedding at the Bourne!!

o along with it. She listened to our needs/desires and went to bat for us when we wanted to make some changes. She is AMAZING! The day/night of the wedding couldn't have been any more perfect. Steve & Asia kept things running like a machine and were able to deliver to our every need. The venue at Christmas time looked incredible. It was stunning! Bitter cold outside and extremely warm and welcome inside. A perfect night! Also, the food was incredible. The guests ate SOO much and every meal was better than the last! Couldn't have possibly asked for anything more.

it’s just to look. Miriam, their sales director, guided us through the entire process from start finish, gave us sincere opinions, and advice, and was just an overall pleasure to work with. Our Maitre’D Steve, ran the show like a rockstar. Everything ran seamlessly, was on time, and made us feel so confident that our guests were being taken care of, and so were we. My bridal attendant, Nicolette, made sure I always had a new drink, was eating throughout the night, and constantly checked in to see if I needed anything. The bartenders, wait staff, valet, coat check, and all employees were so professional, kind, and on the money. Having worked in the business, I know this employees went far and beyond to make sure my day was the best day ever for me and husband. Thank you to all of you.

h Miriam and Steve throughout my wedding planning process made everything run so smoothly. Im a type A person and It was so nice having Steve knowing that I didn't need to stress about anything because he handled every issue that I had during the wedding. I constantly had a drink in hand and was made aware of what was happening throughout the night. I never thought my wedding day could be so stress free. As for the beauty of the Bourne well that speaks for itself. My guests were in awe of the grounds during cocktail hour and the magnificent ballroom. everything was grand and amazing. The food was more than I could have ever hoped for. I find it typical that wedding food is not always the best especially the meal, however I had guests leaving my wedding RAVING about the dinner. One even said the filet mignon was the best they every had. My wedding was a dream come true and I can't thank Miriam and Steve enough for making that happen for my husband and i. I could not recommend a venue more!

solutely incredible. I knew immediately when I walk through those doors I was going to have my reception there. Bourne Mansion only hosts 1 event per day and that’s how all wedding venues operate. When you’re investing so much money you want to be the only bride and groom for that day.. ONLY and NO sharing! The best part of the venue is two special people, Miriam and Steve. Miriam is a doll and so passionate about her job. She’s the best and we loved working with her. She’s so sweet and guides you in the right direction and makes you feel at ease. Steve, the maitre is on point throughout the entire day and makes sure you get exactly what you want. He knows his stuff based from many years of experience. He caters to you and truly makes the bride and groom feel so special. He’s the best and we had so much fun with him ! This venue is worth every single penny beyond. As a florist myself I’ve worked at many venues. Behind the scenes you’re wasting your time anywhere else !

ll of our guests could not believe the space. The tall ceilings, roaring 20s mansion vibe was INCREDIBLE. Getting married outside on the lawn with deer and the bay off in the distance during sunset was perfect. The cocktail hour vibe was amazing as guests wandered through the mansion finding new rooms and food stations! The food was delicious and even with a large wedding there were no lines. The professionalism of the team is second to none. From start to finish they made us feel secure, accommodated our requests, and ensured we were happy. They are clearly experienced, best in class, professionals and great to work with! Miriam was beyond helpful in guiding us during the decision making process and provided great recommendations as we worked to make our vision a reality. She also helped us have the most spectacular wedding, while guiding us to maximize our budget without spending on things that weren't going to be impactful. Steve is my personal hero. When it comes to ensuring that your special day is executed as perfectly as possible, you will not find someone better. I started sweating and he was there with a cool damp cloth. Anything I needed, he was always there. He runs an incredibly tight ship making sure the Bourne Mansion staff service is 5-star quality. Everyone says your day goes so fast and while I agree, I would also say Steve makes sure you make the most of every single minute.

her. From the very first day until our wedding day, the people at Bourne and Lessings were so friendly, accommodating, and helpful with the wedding planning process. The grounds are well kept with beautiful flowers that match every season. Inside, it is a very unique venue because you get to roam about the entire ground floor of the mansion during the duration of your party. There is a beautiful bridal suite and a rustic groom's suite which you can use for getting ready if you choose. They only host one wedding a day, which makes you feel like everyone has their full attention on making your day special. The food and drink selection was varied and delicious. I felt confident that every person who attended my wedding would find a food or drink that they would like since there were so many choices. Leading up to the wedding, Miriam was the woman who helped coordinate all of the details and planning. All I can say is WOW! Not only is Miriam the sweetest person on the planet, but she is always available to answer your questions, even at 11:00 at night! She got along so well with my parents, my husband, and my in-laws. I felt 100% confident at all times knowing that Miriam was there for me. She was the perfect fit for us. On the wedding day, Steve was our Maitre D. Again, all I can say is WOW!! Steve was attentive to every concern we had, and was able to keep the party moving smoothly so that we didn't miss out on anything on our wedding day. He even stood guard at our table so that we had 10 minutes to eat our dinner! Whoever said the bride and groom can't enjoy the food too didn't have Steve by their side! I am so forever grateful to Miriam, Steve, and everyone at Bourne for making my wedding day the most memorable and perfect day. I couldn't have dreamed of anything better. Two months later, I am still hearing my guests rave about it!

to me the minute you walked through this door I saw your face and you will be a Bourne Bride and she was right. Our overwhelmed minds were suddenly soothed by Miriam understanding and calming demeanor. Throughout the entire process Miriam was there to guide us and answer any questions or concerns we had. Our wedding was on 10/11/19 and it Bourne exceeded our expectations. The day went flawlessly from start to finish. The food, the rooms, the service everything was perfect. Steve the Maître D’, was great working with our rowdy bridal party and keeping them in line. I want to relive every moment of the night all over again. People are still coming to me telling me how wonderful the food was and the venue blew them away with its beauty. My wedding would not have been the same anywhere else.

xperienced professional, pays attention to every detail and makes you feel special. She leaves no stone unturned and is hands on and always available for you. We are so glad that she was part of this journey!! The day of the wedding the baton is passed to Steve. When we met Steve a few days before the wedding I knew that everything was going to be perfect. I finally was able to relax. He is organized and capable from the minute you arrive to the moment you say goodbye. He runs everything with such precision down to every minute. He is "The Master of Ceremony" and allows you to enjoy yourself. Steve takes excellent care of the bride, groom and parents. The mansion is spectacular and breathtaking! Each and every room was magnificent. The food was amazing and the ballroom was beautiful. Thank you for making Kristie and Stevens wedding magical and the best day of our lives!!!!

background and my fiance looked at me and nodded his head with a big smile on his face. Once we set our date (which took a lot of back and forth and Miriam was a major help) we were in constant communication. I would always email or text Miriam and within hours I would get a response. She is so helpful, creative, and very attentive to detail. Our food options were easy to pick and so much fun to plan for. The week before we met Steve at our final appt and he was fantastic. He planned our entire day and assured us it would be perfect, and it certainly was! As soon as we arrived at the Bourne on our wedding day, it was STUNNING. The landscape was just done and it was so clean and beautiful. We walked in and Steve was already there ready to go and our bridal attendant Katherine was there as well. Katherine was fantastic, she bustled my dress perfectly and was always around if we needed something. Steve is extremely punctual and had everything perfect the day of. He made sure we were taken care of the entire night (drinks, food, dessert, aka EVERYTHING) not to mention he was a blast with the wedding party. Everyone was dancing and drinking all night, it was truly the most fun we have ever had. The food was just amazing. Cocktail hour we had the All American Station (waffle fries are the best), the Asian Wok Station (the best dumplings), 3 Pasta station (Lobster ravioli!!!), Meats and Cheeses, NY Strip Carving Station, and passed hors d'oeuvres (chicken and waffles were a crowd favorite). The dinner was incredible, the steak was so delicious I wish I could've ate more of it! Dessert we did the Viennese table and ice cream sundae station, which everyone loved. Our favorite part was the to-go stations, which were bacon, egg, and cheeses on a roll and hot pretzels. People are still raving about the food and the venue. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the Bourne Mansion. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Thank you Miriam and Steve, we were so happy and are still dreaming of our night! We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding so perfect. We pray someone we know has a wedding there soon just so we can go back and enjoy it all again!!! The best venue on Long Island!

know they live up to the reputation that precedes them at the Bourne. Weddings are stressful by nature yet Steve has perfected his process to the point we were able to focus on enjoying each moment as it came rather than worrying about where we were in the timeline or managing operational hiccups - there truly were none because Steve proactively handles them. While many brides may focus on what flowers they want on the tables or what song to walk down the aisle to, you can't put a price on a stress free wedding day and that is what Steve, Miriam, and entire staff provided.

. Miriam is the coordinator at the Bourne and from the first meeting, she was honest, trustworthy and so much fun to work with. She's got thoughts and ideas, SO LISTEN! You won't regret her input and will always have you walking away feeling even more excited than you did moments before. Now my husband and I threw the normal over the top Long Island wedding which included shoe shinners at the cocktail hour, oil painter at the reception, over the top floral and decor, an INSANE 13 piece band that rocked all night, not to mention I arrived in a helicopter surprising all of the guests. With so many outside vendors, the entire day was smooth as silk!! This is much in part due to the responsibility and efficiency of the staff and especially the bridal attendant and maitre d'. Steve and Nicolet were by the most helpful and on point individuals to work with. Steve had that night running as easy and as smooth as anyone could imagine! Let me say from the moment we met, my husband (not an easy person to impress) wanted to become immediate friends with him and respected everything about him. Throughout the night ever step of the way we were spoken to with respect and guided to each point of where we needed to be. At one point during night photos my husband needed a floss stick and by the next shot, Steve stood there with 2 in his hand! We even had an issue with a guest and within 2 minutes not only was the issue completely irrelevant but we were happier than ever to continue our night. To top off such great service, the food was outstanding! We chose many different types of courses and tastes for everyone, how in the world was there not one complaint from 170 guests!!! In fact, we heard nothing but rave reviews from all guests that the food was outstanding and the drinks were just as great. We cannot be more thankful for choosing the Bourne Mansion as our wedding venue. The grounds are gorgeous beyond belief, the experience of planning with Miriam was fun and not stressful, Steve and Nicolete were on TOP OF THEIR GAME the ENTIRE night. I would relive this night over and over again. We cannot thank the Bourne Staff enough for just allowing us to live our dream day. I know all brides want to say that but you cannot replace perfection on all fronts. Steve really made the night just insanely fun and easy. The happy couple is always pulled in a million directions but we never felt too overwhelmed or like we weren't enjoying our night. That's extremely important because this night goes way too fast. Thank you to Steve and Nicolete for allowing us to be present for it all! Not only did we notice how hard you worked but our guests did as well. The cold towels on our backs as we danced the night away were just the beginning. The Bourne Mansion and its staff exude perfection and professionalism while creating an experience every single bride, groom, parent, and guest would want. The new Mr. & Mrs. John Piro could not be happier. Thank you and for all reading this, you will regret not having a Bourne Mansion Wedding!!

ed Bourne and every day leading up to our wedding. As a bride, I clearly had several questions, wanted to make my wedding feel unique compared to others, and she accommodated them all without a question or concern. We did not have a full-on planner, but Miriam helped guide us in creating the best possible wedding at Bourne that could happen, and surely it was the greatest night of our lives. The day of our wedding and those leading up, we worked very closely with Steve on finalizing timelines, and exactly what we can expect from the evening. Steve was SUCH a key factor in making our day perfect. From the moment we arrived at Bourne that day, he took care of everything. I can't simply put into words the impact he had. Several guests at the wedding even noticed how helpful Steve was and called him a true ROCKSTAR! We are still hearing compliments from guests about the venue, food, and service of Bourne and we cant thank the team enough for creating something so special for us. It truly is a show-topping venue, and I would recommend this place to anyone getting married. Our day would not have been the same if we did not choose Bourne and to me, there is no other option than this place! Thank you everyone, a true DREAM TEAM!

e listens to your every need, she’s caring, she works with you to help your ideas come true and makes it better. Miriam was amazing to have and we are forever grateful for having her at Bourne. She gave us so many ideas and really helped us put together an elegant and beautiful wedding. Steve is the area manager and we sat down with him a few days for our wedding. He gave us a complete rundown of how our wedding would look. We were fully informed on how our wedding day would look. He answered all our questions and handled any concerns we had. Our wedding day went exactly as Steve told us and it was perfect! The staff at Bourne in our wedding day was one of the most delightful aspects of our day. They attended to every concern, every need, and made us feel so loved. They made sure we were never worried about anything which is great for a bride and groom. Jake our Maitre D’ was the best! Literally the greatest person we could have! He made us so happy and took care of everything, he was so great our guest even knew his name and knew the great job he was doing. He had every detail and request down perfectly. We had our expectations of our wedding but Jake and the staff at Bourne surpassed it. Jake goes above and beyond which is an amazing quality for someone who oversees your wedding day. Catherine our bridal attended and the staff that was with her who we can’t remember their names were also amazing! They were so attentive to everything we needed. They also spoke Spanish which was a big plus for our grand parents and some of our guests. Our bridal suite and groom suite were full with drinks and food immoderately and restocked. We can not show enough appreciation for the wedding day the Bourne staff gave us. Even our guest noticed how amazing the staff was. The food was perfect from cocktail hour to reception dinner everyone loved it. Compliments to the chef! If we could do our wedding all over again at Bourne we would! Thank you so much for our dream wedding!

of contact and always answers every email and phone cll promptly and makes you feel important. She is also helpful with any bridal needs (especially for those girls like me without a planner!). Steve we had read comes off mean but he is the complete opposite. He is so on top of every single part of the wedding. We had a guest break a glass and Steve had it cleaned up in under a minute. He also made sure we always ate and had drinks - which seems unimportant until that day! The venue and food we are still getting raving reviews from friends and family and had over 230 people. Cocktail hour and main courses alike were fabulous - no complaints at all. At the end of the night Steve even gave us flowers to bring home,main courses, and cookies! My husband and I will never be able to thank them enough for providing us with the wedding of our dreams.I could go on and on for hours about each and every perfect part of the wedding, but as someone who never writes reviews I wanted to make sure every bride knows this venue really is as magical as it seems.

ich is required in their own contract ) never offered us a further date for our wedding and it’s very bad that a venue will take financial advantage of an unfortunate situation. We had booked our weeding at the Bourne Mansion within 3 months in advance only after I let myself being convinced that was ok to book just with 3 months apart to take a “good deal” We were facing difficult time with serious health issues for one of the parts and we had no other choice but cancel the wedding 30 days prior to the reception which is the biggest painful moment for any couple. We had paid them over 80% of our contract in good faith when we cancelled and they didn't even offered us another day in the future to give us time to resolve the issue. We haven’t heard from them at all despite an offer of $ 1000 refund to sign a paper giving up of our rights.

and she helped a lot to make my day perfect. Then there was Steve who was our MD. Steve is no joke and can come off as a hard ass, but when you want your day to run smooth and perfect he is the guy for this!! The whole time he had a headpiece in communicating to everyone. He constantly can over to my hubby and I to make sure we were in the loop and were okay. When a little hiccup happened he was there right away and solved it before i could even notice. With Steve I also have Katherine, she was my bridal attendant and she was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and was there for every part of the day. She helped calm us down and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. The atmosphere itself was breathtaking, the bridal suit and grooms suit was updated and constantly stocked with food and drinks. The staff knew exactly what to do and when to do it. The only negative thing i could say is that my cocktail hour was extremely hot, but i did get married on a very humid july day so i don’t even think i can blame that on the mansion.

s regal INDOOR spaces, able to hold large capacity (we were 250+ guests). We even got to extend until 1:30am for extra dancing, and there is only one wedding at a time, so the day is yours and yours alone. Staff was personable, responsive, professional, on top of it all. Miriam Aronson helped the entire year we spent planning, even sending us pictures from previous weddings for inspiration. Steve Melita, the day-of Maitre D', made the wedding day, ensuring everything was in line, on time, and fun (and still found time to bring us signature cocktails all night, fix last minute table issues, make sure we were fed.. endless list). My mother and I got to enjoy the day as everything was being run smoothly. Location is perfect distance away from Manhattan & Westchester (guests could either drive back or spend the weekend) for a pseudo destination wedding. Only drawback is that there is no lodging on location, but they have fully stocked bridal/groom changing suites for the day of. We highly recommend hiring Deborah Minarik as the day-of coordinator; she brought us all breakfast at the hotel, brought everything over to the mansion (rings, weddings dresses..), prepared a detailed schedule (printed for everyone!), coordinated every vendor (flowers, photo..), even carried around my lip gloss and floss all night long. Dinner was top notch (bride & groom get all three entrees + leftovers to take home!), and you get to print your own menus. Miriam threw in the seafood raw bar and ice cream sundae bar for us (THANK YOU). At the end of the night, we had pretzels for all the guests to take on the shuttle back to the hotel. Thank you Miriam, Steve and Debbie!

tone unturned. The bridal attendant, Catherine, was wonderful and made sure both bridal parties needed anything. Steve ran the day impeccably! Always making sure we were doing okay, as well as my parents. Everyone raved how great the food was and what a great time they had. We cannot say enough good things about Miriam, Catherine + Steve and cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day so special!

your impeccable service. We appreciate your attention detail it and passion for your job! You made our night seamless!

ve your guests a unique experience. All my guests cannot stop talking about the food, we had mini lobster rolls, little chicken and waffles, mini grilled cheeses served on the dance floor after dinner and to top off the night they had a egg sandwich exit station ready for my guests on their way out. My guests have been non-stop raving about my wedding. When I first met Steve I thought he was a little scary but he was excellent. He knows how to run a business and will make sure your wedding day is flawless. He took care of me the whole night and made sure my guests had fun, even breaking the "no shot" rule a few times. Best wedding ever!

rything and offering suggestions and advice until the day of the wedding. Katherine and Steve are a super team. We couldn't believe how everything ran so smoothly and how both of them were always one step ahead of you. The venue is beautiful and the food is great. Our guests are still talking about the food! Thank you Miriam, Katherine and Steve for exceeding our expectations.

. Let's start with Miriam the event coordinator. She was so amazing in helping us plan everything. She was quick to respond to anything we needed leading up to the event. I never felt stressed while working with her. Steve, the Maitre D, was a pro. Before the wedding he is all business and ensures that everything is planned out perfectly. Then during the wedding, he was the perfect coordinator and was right there for us if we needed anything. In fact, he was able to help us with things before we would even know we needed them. Everything went exactly how we wanted, and that was because of Steve and his staff. 10 out of 10.

e you’re in a gatsby mansion for sure. They are very organized, and they help you to make sure you have thought about all of the little details as well. The day of the wedding went very smooth, and I was happy with that. I would have gotten married there all over again- just wish the reception lasted about 8 more hours. like everyone says, it goes too fast. The food was excellent and everyone said so. We had them make egg sandwiches for everyone on the way out and everyone raves about them. I was told a number of times it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and that tickled me for sure 😊 Go Bourne!

ing and succeeded in making everything run as smoothly as possible. Thank you for a unforgettable night!

ked that it also has character and uniqueness - definitely not "cookie cutter." The backdrop is gorgeous and while we got married indoors (which worked out well), we made sure to take lots of pictures both indoors and outdoors. The ballroom is one of a kind and was plenty spacious for our ~200 guests. Food - delicious. They have a wide range of options for cocktail hour and we got a lot of compliments from our guests about the food (especially the filet mignon), some even saying it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding! I highly recommend adding on some sort of late night "snack." We had hot pretzels on the way out and they were a hit! Staff - spectacular. From the very beginning, Miriam was incredibly helpful and genuine. She guided me throughout the process and was very responsive to my many questions. I honestly couldn't have planned our wedding without her. When we met Steve (our maitre d), we knew we were in great hands. He helped set the run of show, kept everything running smoothly throughout the day and made sure we (and our parents) were taken care of the entire evening. My bridal attendant Catherine was excellent. She made sure I had everything I needed and helped with my dress, flowers, cake, etc. All in all, magical! We will never forget our perfect wedding day thanks to Bourne!

e and suggestions that made our wedding day look great and go smoothly. She does a great job because she loves it so much, which you can tell because she gets so excited each time a new couple walks in the door. She even came by the Bourne on our wedding day to say hi to my husband and I and wish us well. Steve coordinated our wedding day- Every wedding day needs a Steve. He was amazing at organizing the day! My husband and I would highly suggest getting married at the Bourne Mansion- it was a fairytale that Miriam and Steve played a big part in order for us to pull it off.

even there the day of, checking in with us. Our Maitre d, Jake, was the most AMAZING support (literally heaven sent), along with Kat, during our reception. The staff were on point and professional, such a strong team!!! I wish we could relive the day over and over with the amazing team at Bourne and the most flawless and timeless venue. Could not emphasize the recommendation any more!!!

ponsive by email and phone! She also had so many amazing ideas for our decor. Steve (the Maitre d') and his staff were also amazing. Our wedding was absolutely seamless and we felt so well taken care of. Our guests loved the decor, food, drinks, and service. We are still receiving compliments about it! I am so thankful we chose Bourne to celebrate our wedding! They exceeded our expectations and we made memories that will last a lifetime. I hope I can attend another wedding there as a guest, just so I can experience the Bourne magic one more time!

. Steve runs a tight ship, but he was very professional & was a huge help making the night what it was. Katherine was always right there whenever you needed her. It truly was absolutely amazing!

e helped us plan our perfect day and gave us her honest opinions when we asked. She really got to know our taste. She was flexible and such a pleasure to work with. The staff and maitre d, Steve, were wonderful and made our wedding run perfectly. There was not one detail that was missed or overlooked by the staff at Bourne. I wish I could go back and do it all over again! I will forever have a lasting memory of the best wedding!

nd accommodated about 160 people comfortably. The dance floor was spacious and the lighting was warm and romantic. It rained during our reception and I loved that cocktail hour was spread through the rooms of the mansion so everyone was comfortable and had space to sit and mingle. Steve was great and professional. He made sure everything ran smoothly. He could be a bit intense, but you get what you pay for and he was on top of every single detail. We were taken cared of well here! Miriam was simply the best! She helped us every step of the process leading up to the wedding day. She answered all of our questions in a timely matter, and gave us helpful advice about whatever we were not sure of. The food was AMAZING! my husband is a foodie so food was a big deal. The menu for cocktail hour, dinner and desk was top notch. We got so much good feedback from our guests! I wanted our wedding to have an intimate, romantic, cozy, classy and comfortable feel and thats exactly what we got. We had so much fun and so did our guests and our pictures came out amazing! It’s truly a stunning venue and the staff is efficient and great.

e something out of a movie...if you want to feel like your wedding day is a fairytale...get married here. Words cannot even begin to explain how perfect every single thing was at Bourne. To start, Miriam was incredible. She was so attentive at every meeting, always answered my emails as soon as possible, and made me feel like a true bride through out the entire process. You would never guess that she was dealing with dozens of other brides and couples at the same time...that's how special she made us feel. Steve, our Maitre'D was also AMAZING. We only met him a few days before the wedding, but come the day of our wedding, it was like we knew each other our entire lives. He really treated us like family. He was always making sure everything was on point, always made sure my husband and I had a drink in our hand or food on our plates. He is the reason our night went as perfectly as it did. Now, to everything else! The food...10/10. Guest's cannot stop ranting and raving about how unreal our cocktail hour was. We did the Asian Station as an added station, and we got SO many more remarks about how good the asian food was than we were ever expecting! The entree's were also incredible. We have zero complaints about the food and couldn't be happier. We decided to splurge on a few extra things, that at first we were a little iffy about, but we are glad we spent the money on them. The raw bar at cocktail hour, the lighting during the reception, the heaters outside for guests to smoke cigars next to, and top shelf liquor. We also extended the cocktail hour another half hour, which was perfect because we had just enough time to greet all of our guests and then enjoy the reception. These little details really added to how perfect the entire night was. The Bourne Mansion was worth every single penny (and believe it or not, it was manageable to afford). My husband and I feel so lucky and still are ranting about how perfect our day was. We have had dozens of guest tell is that it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. It was everything I have always dreamed of...If you are on the fence about Bourne, just book it. You will not regret it for a second!! All our love to Miriam and Steve !!!! We couldn't thank you enough for everything. Xo Nicole & James

staff were great as well!! Wish I could do it all over again.

t for years for your wedding. We looked all over for weeks and did all the legwork, there is no competitor to the Bourne. The mansion itself is magnificent both inside and out. Think Newport mansions, but you're in NY. Once you visit you'll fall in love with the back of the mansion. It comprises of a vast lawn that looks out to the ocean - you can see sailboats in the background. Our wedding date at the Bourne in September this year was perfect weather, we started the ceremony in the back of the mansion, cocktail was split in and outdoors, and finished reception inside the ballroom. On top of the amazing view and classy indoor decor, you also have Miriam. Even though she's the director of sales, she gave us so many tips from before the wedding to the day of, we felt like having a second wedding planner and was a delight to work with. It was also important to us that we were the only couple getting married, instead of having random people from other weddings around, and at the Bourne you are the only one there for your wedding. We can't imagine having been married anywhere else!

me! We had fresh drinks and food waiting for us at our dais every single time we sat down. Ice cold towels for our necks after dancing. Cant say enough about the tight ship that Steve runs at the bourne mansion. We only met steve once before our wedding, but we felt like weve known him for years! So friendly and very respectful. This man was absolutely built for the job. If youre looking for the perfect venue for your perfect wedding, look no more!

or us. We loved the venue - it is timeless, elegant, and classy. The food was also superb and delicate. Jake was our Maitre D and he was fantastic and helped us to stay on schedule (or as much as we could:). We only wish we could have been guests at our own wedding and enjoyed everything all over again from the guests' perspective since everyone had an amazing time!

rne we met with Miriam. She is an absolute doll! She truly cares for her clients. Working with her was amazing. She made us feel so comfortable and was open to our budge & helped draw us out a plan for what things will cost. She’s an expert & she’s honest. The entire staff at Bourne mansion was amazing. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect & I wish I could do it over & over!!

s one of our first venue meetings, but Miriam immediately put me at ease. Miriam could tell how much my mother and I loved Bourne Mansion and told me about her last two summer dates (which were only 8 months away). Needless to say, Miriam was a huge factor in making my final decision to plan our wedding in just eight months and have our wedding in August 2018. Miriam was attentive from the start- immediately answering emails, sending photos and other inspiration from past weddings. She followed up with us and was consistent in her communication throughout our experience with Bourne. Miriam is extremely knowledgeable about ALL things wedding, and was honest with us throughout the process. On top of all that, Miriam remembered specific details about us each time we visited the venue (for showcases, meetings, etc.) and genuinely seemed to care about us as a couple and not just as a client. Miriam was one of the first people I saw when I walked into Bourne on my wedding day, and it was so comforting to have a familiar face. On the day of my wedding, I met Jake, he was our maitre’d. Jake was EVERYWHERE before you even knew you needed him. Jake kept the day running on time and helped me keep my anxiety about the weather under wraps. During the morning, it had poured outside, but the rain stopped when we arrived at the mansion. Jake did everything in his power to maintain the ceremony set up and consistently assured me that we would be getting married outside. Jake also helped out tremendously with my mother-in-law because she had stained her dress before the ceremony. Jake had about 5 different remedies and helped calm her nerves about the spots quickly and quietly. I didn’t even find out about this until after our honeymoon! My mother also told me that any time she stopped for even a moment, Jake or the bridal attendant were at her side to make sure that she didn’t need anything. Overall, our experience at Bourne Mansion was amazing. Our wedding was everything that I could have ever imagined and more. I truly believe that the team at Bourne Mansion is a huge part of that. I have already recommended Bourne Mansion to everyone who will listen.

ked it immediately, and it was one of the best decisions we had made. We cannot stress how amazing Miriam was to work with. She involved herself in every detail, small or large, prior to the wedding and was available at all times of day to talk. When you are getting married, especially closer to day, you you have endless questions all the time. She always made us feel welcome to call, text, email or come by and chat in person if we ever needed anything or had any questions at all. She checked in with us all the time to see if there was anything she could do, to chat about the wedding planning process & just to lend a guiding hand in any way she could. It was like having a personal wedding planner & I don’t know that we could have gotten through the last year without her. She was truly a huge support that we didn’t even realize we needed. Even though she dealt with many couples all the time, she always did an amazing job at making us feel so special and as if we were her only couple & priority. You pay for not only the amazing one of kind personalized service you receive at the Bourne, but also the food & ambiance. The venue is just truly one of kind, and our family and friends have not stopped raving about how beautiful it is. The ballroom at night, all lit up & decorated just transformed into something so magical. The food was unbelievable and the presentation was impeccable. We had the hardest time selecting our entrees because we knew everything was going to be so good. Everyone that came to the wedding that we have spoken to have complimented us on how delicious everything was & how full they were when they left. The food was something that was important to us when selecting our venue so naturally we were thrilled to hear everyone enjoyed it so much. A few days before the wedding we had a meeting with, Steve, who would be running the wedding day. Steve went through the timeline of our day in careful detail, ensuring everything was exactly what we had imagined so that things would run smooth. He even gave us some fun tips for the day, which came in handy as well. When it comes to your wedding day, you need someone like him by your side to keep things orderly and to keep everything and everyone on schedule. He was always there check in on us throughout the night, see if we or our families needed anything at all. My father was drinking a turkish alcohol the night of the wedding. Well turns out one bottle wasn’t enough since he happened to run out of it. Steve, without anyone knowing got into his car and ran to the closest liquor store( begged them to stay open until he got there) to get another bottle for my father so he could continue enjoying the party. My husband and I just couldn’t believe it. He was just so on top of every single detail. Our bridal attendant, Catherine, was wonderful also. She really tended to me all day and made me feel like a superstar . She could see I was cold when taking our photos outside and continuously brought me hot tea to keep warm. All these details combined, are what make the experience at the Bourne one of kind and priceless in our opinion. We had the most magical, special day of our lives and we owe it all to Miriam & Steve.

d’ and he was unbelievable ! I will have these memories for a lifetime and i am so grateful!

; he would anticipate issues and address them before they arose. Our bridal attendant was a sweetheart and very attentive. The entire experience at the Mansion from ceremony thru cocktail hour and reception was exceptional. Our guests are experienced wedding goers and raved over the beauty, attentive service, food quality and desserts (flambé station). The Bride and Groom said it exceeded their wildest expectations! Thank you Miriam, Steve, Jake and the entire staff for making our daughter’s wedding day over the top sensational!

y need was anticipated by the diligent staff. Jake was our maitre d and he worked hard to make sure every detail was in place. Katherine was my bridal attendant and could not have been more helpful and patient! My husband and I got married in August of 2018 and we are still hearing about how perfect, elegant, and magical our wedding was. Our day could not have been more special, the grounds are spectacular and make for a beautiful ceremony. The mansion itself is breathtaking with its old world charm and details. It was the absolute right choice for us, and we would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to celebrate the wedding of their dreams!!

the stress of having to reschedule our April wedding due to covid-19, she has answered every call and returned every email. I am not sure how she is able to deal with all of us crazy brides and grooms with such ease, even at a time of uncertainty, but she does. Her tenacity is unparalleled. Although, the countdown to our big day has increased, I am thrilled to be working with such an exceptional team at the Bourne.

and listening to our vision. On the day of, I was blown away by the staff's attention to myself the bride and my husband, we felt like royalty. And the food was fantastic! Highly recommended!

greeted by Miriam who has been an amazing help through the planning. We are getting married 2020. We have visited the venue a couple of times and Miriam has been very accommodating. The attention we received from her has been great, and what was important to us was her knowledge of years of experience with everything entailing weddings. We are grateful. We thank you Miriam for helping us plan our dream wedding.

eting after us at 215pm and she just came to us at 150pm so well have to be quick. Then as my fiancée was describing how she wanted the our wedding she always shot down the ideas and made it the way she thought it should be done assuming almost like we had no idea what we were doing. All she did was go over pricing showed us only the inside of the building never showed us the outside. Then at the end just decided to walk away when we were talking (me and my fiancée) didn't even shake our hands or say good bye to move onto her next couple. Very rude and unprofessional would not recommend going there.

d towels to the (perhaps overly) detailed diagram and direction sheet for how we wanted our photos lined up on the different mantels. Suffice it to say, I had a specific vision in mind. Our wedding reception was SO much more than I could ever have imagined! From the moment we met with Miriam, 15 or so months ago, we knew we were at a special place, and in great hands. Miriam was absolutely incredible throughout the whole process, incredibly attentive and super responsive to all of my questions and emails. She offered suggestions without at all being pushy and helped us to craft the perfect vision that we had in mind. As far as the day of the reception, Steve was INCREDIBLE. My husband and I met with Steve the week of the wedding to go over our timeline. We made a few tweaks to accommodate some specific requests and Steve made sure, the day of, that everything ran like clockwork! He managed to coordinate everything without us ever feeling rush, and is so proficient at what he does that the guests were never the wiser. We truly felt like royalty! There is not a single moment we would change about our wedding, which is in no small part the result of Steve and his team. Nicolette, the bridal assistant, was also fantastic. She made sure our glasses were always replenished, that we always had everything we needed and that we were happy. We are so blessed to have had the most picturesque wedding and are so grateful to Steve and the Lessing’s team for making our wedding a day we will never, ever forget! With much gratitude, Diana & Matt Auer

nly 6 months and she was excellent in helping us every step of the way from her vendor recommendations, to special details and what was worth spending a little extra money and other things we could do without to save some money. Steve was also super organized and went over our wedding day timeline with us a few days before. He had our whole evening down to the minute so everything ran smoothly and we were truly able to enjoy the day with no worries at all. Steve was also great with our parents getting them anything needed throughout the night. Our bridal attendant Brianna was also amazing she always had drinks ready for my husband and I, bustled my dress and helped fix my hair halfway through the night. We received compliments for our guests, bridal party and parents about how great Steve and Brianna were at the wedding. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful with views of the great south bay and the mansion behind us. The cocktail hour was outstanding from the views to the selection of food-raw bar, carving stations, pasta stations our guest were so impressed! They were very accommodating to vegan and gluten free! We loved that the ballroom doors are closed until the reception it was a huge surprise to all our guests to then enter the ballroom that is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Since our wedding, our guests have been raving about the food, service, drinks, and gorgeous venue.

now I had. From my very first phone call, Miriam put me at ease and was ALWAYS available with quick and creative answers to my questions. Steve was magnificent as a maitre'd; he was attentive to me and to my husband as well as our parents. He was always right there to make sure we were comfortable and having the best experience possible. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and all the staff were professional and friendly. I can't recommend this venue enough. I hope I am lucky enough to be a guest at a wedding here!!! Not one complaint or wish for something different. You will remember this experience forever.

dating and patient throughout the whole process. Steve was also great to work with. He ran a tight ship the day of our our wedding and helped smooth things over as if they never went awry in the first place. Our only suggestion for improvement is to have more valet to help the cars leave faster in the evening. The food was amazing! Our guests LOVED the experience and loved the food and the atmosphere. It was perfectly romantic. I'd highly recommend them!

Bourne and what it has to offer. Miriam was an absolute pleasure to work with and I am sad that I won’t see her as often now that our wedding is over. There is not one negative thing that we can say about our experience with the Bourne Mansion. From the moment we met our maitre d Steve we were reassured once again that our wedding was going to be nothing short of spectacular. Steve has everything down perfectly and made everything run so smooth. Steve saw me with tears as the rain started and made sure I still had my dream outdoor wedding...he assured me that I had the choice on what to do and made sure that whatever I wanted is exactly what happened. Steve is beyond amazing, and made sure that we ate. You always hear stories of the bride and groom not being able to eat their meal, he sat us down with so much food, and also had the bridal suite stocked with cocktail hour food. The bridal attendant was also beyond amazing, she made me so comfortable and treated me like a friend, she was honestly one of the sweetest people I have met, always made sure I had a drink and food. I can go on and on about how amazing our experience was at the Bourne Mansion and I will recommend this venue over and over and over again. I can’t say thank you enough to all of the staff.

wn. Miriam was amazing from the moment we met and really made us feel confident that not only could we pull off planning an amazing wedding from out of town, but that she’d be there along each step to help make it as easy and stress-free as possible. She was extremely responsive to any questions we had and had some helpful suggestions throughout the day-of planning and vendor hiring process. I honestly don’t know how we would have done everything without her guidance! I also have to give major kudos to the maître d – From the initial meeting with Steve about a week before the wedding, it was immediately evident that he’s an expert in what he does and that we could trust him to make sure everything was run on schedule as planned. This was super important to us because we wanted to enjoy the wedding while also making sure we were eating, taking some evening pictures, tossing the bouquet, and having time to dance and spend time with family and friends instead of wondering what we should have scheduled next. We were never without food or a drink and honestly felt like royalty. His attention to detail is unmatched and it did not go unnoticed – as some other reviews have mentioned, I felt like he could read my mind with just a slight expression on my face from the other side of the room. Not only did we have an unbelievably beautiful wedding day that we’ll always remember, but so many friends and family members came up to us the night of the wedding and the weeks after to communicate how much they loved the venue, the food, and Steve specifically. And of course, the venue itself is BREATHTAKING whether you’re inside or outside. Our guests loved the included valet parking, being able to explore the gorgeous grounds before the ceremony and during cocktail hour, and getting to explore the different rooms as they opened throughout the evening. (While on the topic of different rooms, I would recommend adding the Viennese table during dessert if you can! The set-up is incredible and we received incredible feedback from our guests!) I could probably sit here and write several pages going over how pleased we were with everything leading up to the wedding and on the day-of. We simply can’t thank the entire team at Bourne enough for providing an absolutely unforgettable wedding day. I’d recommend them a thousand times over!

noying sales person but instead always helpful and knowledgeable making us feel good about every choice! She listened to the things we wanted and cared about and knew exactly how to make them work. She checked in throughout the planning and was so supportive and helpful! Next we need to share how great Steve was to have day of! We both agree we wouldn't know where the night would have been without him. He made sure everything ran smoothly from the timeliness of the night to simply always asking if we needed anything. He even read our minds without us saying anything and would bring drinks over if our glasses were empty or just simply check in. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable with him running things and he proved himself time and time again to be such an amazing maitre d. We were both so grateful for both Steve and Miriam and the whole crew day of! It was such a great day and everything ran smoothly because of all of their hard work and we owe them the biggest thank you for that. Lastly, I should add how beautiful the venue itself is. We were lucky to have our ceremony outside and then moved inside for the rest of the night. The grounds themselves are so well maintained and absolutely stunning. The second we walked inside when we were venue shopping we knew it was where we wanted to have our special day. The inside feels so elegant, like its out of a fairytale. This mixed with the amazing staff was a perfect combination for a great wedding. All in all we don't have a bad thing to say about Bourne Mansion. It was the best experience and we would highly recommend it to anyone who asked us.

ng the need to write this review- it was just that great. The Bourne Mansion, Steve Melita, and Miriam are absolutely AMAZING. From the planning and brainstorming of decorations, centerpieces and timeline to the day of party- EVERYTHING is handled for you to the point that you don’t have to think about anything except your groom and guests on your wedding day. Including when to get a drink and when you need an ice cold cloth to cool down from the dance floor. It’s just brought to you. From start to finish the wedding was perfect and while I could be biased, I’ve heard multiple times during the whirlwind of the weekend “That was the best wedding I’ve ever been to”. I’ll take some credit on vision but let me tell you, Steve is who you want in your corner! Everything was smooth, including coordinating with the photographers and DJ to when you cut the cake and how to make your entrance to get the right pictures. These people are veterans!! They’ve thought of it all. Outside of the overall atmosphere, the cocktail hour and room set-up according to our inventory and instructions was seamless and Catherine was there to bustle my dress and check on me without having to bug my mom and bridal party who were hosting. The guests are still reaching out talking about how cool the staff served dinner, how the bouquet from the balcony was so fun and the food from cocktail hour especially were spectacular and how they want to do it all over again. I can’t say enough about how glad we are we went with Bourne. For anyone planning a wedding- you will not be disappointed!!! My HUSBAND and I hope to attend a wedding here as a guest again!

teve the mater dee who comes in the picture 10 days before your wedding I found to be extremely rough around the edges and mean. I felt like he likes to micro manage the day to what his expectations are and not really what you want as a couple. For someone who is so over protective about the time line, I felt the bridal attendants weren’t attending until told to do so and had bad attitudes like miserable to be there, then I felt we were taking pictures outside there was no one closing the doors and keeping them out so no one would see me ( the bride). During the reception Steve kept pulling me away and asking about the review I was giving instead of letting me enjoy my guests and the thousands of dollars I spent there. The alcohol selection was sub par for 300 a person you would expect better and was told it was possible until it wasn’t. And we ended up bringing our own in. The night was beautiful and unique and my guests had a great time but I was disappointed in the staff and my expectations weren’t really met by them.

an incredible day! The bride and groom as well as myself all live out of state now, so planning a wedding back home in NY was quite a challenge. Without Miriam's guidance and support, I don't believe we could have pulled off such a perfect day. She is really terrific! Very responsive and so very helpful. Working with her was a pleasure. When the big day came, Steve was running the show. Could not have asked for a better person to be in charge. He is clearly the best at what he does. He ensured that everything ran like clockwork and everyone was having a great time, especially the bride and groom! I couldn't believe how many guests commented to me about how wonderful Steve was! All of the staff, food and drink were great! I highly recommend Bourne Mansion! The day was like a dream.... Thanks so much, Bourne Mansion!

venue tour over a year before our wedding. She sat down with us, answered all of our questions, and helped us create an outline (including the cost of other vendors) for our wedding. I was an out of town bride, so I had a lot of concern about the difficulties of planning a wedding from across the country. From our initial meeting to our wedding day, Miriam was there answering my constant emails and phone calls and alleviated all of my concerns. She is truly amazing to work with. The week of our wedding, we met with Steve who helped us put together our final timeline. He took care of any of our last minute jitters and gave us the confidence we needed that everything was under control going into our wedding day. Jake was our Maitre'D on the day of our wedding. I could talk about how amazing Jake is ALL day. From the moment I arrived at the mansion, to the second my new husband and I left in our getaway car, Jake ensured that the entire day was executed perfectly. He worked with all of our vendors to ensure that myself and my husband were taking the time to enjoy ourselves and really be present in our celebration. He made sure that we did not want for ANYTHING the entire day/night. Not only did he take perfect care of us as Bride and Groom, but he also treated our families like royalty. We are so grateful that he was a part of our wedding day. Our guests were amazed by the beauty of this venue and the amazing food. The staff was professional and every guest was taken care of throughout the night. We had people coming up to us all night telling us what an amazing time they were having and how perfect everything was. Not only is the Bourne Mansion a beautiful wedding venue, but the staff is truly second to none. We highly recommend Bourne Mansion for a dream wedding!!

ve it - he manages a team that offers a 100% seamless wedding experience. They take care of everything. If I even imagined wanting a glass of champagne, it would magically appear in front of me. If I forgot where I was supposed to be in 15 minutes, he was already there reminding me what was coming next.. I don't know how else to describe it, but the way the Bourne Mansion team executes an event is something incredible to witness. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous and unlike any other venue we visited (and we took quite the tour around Long Island). Honestly, I want to live there and/or become Miriam's booking assistant just to be able to hang out there more. It is a luxurious, elegant place to have a wedding. The food was fantastic. Everyone was blown away by the beautiful grounds. I don't know what else to say other than I hope someone I know has a wedding there so that I can go back and experience it as a guest. Amazing!

ful and available with any questions and suggestions I had, at all times. She made it so fun and exciting to plan. Steve was excellent! He provided a game plan for my husband and I as well as my bridal party. He would pull my husband and I aside during the wedding to cool us off with cold towels, bring us ice cold water on the dance floor, and always made sure we had drinks and food at our fingertips. It was our dream day thanks to them. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. I had my dream wedding! I highly recommend the Bourne Mansion. It's exquisite. Thank you Steve and Miriam!

ght there to answer questions and refill our drinks. The bartenders were on point, friendly, and knowledgeable. STEVE ABOVE ALL WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST ASSETS TO THE EVENING. He runs a tight ship and ensured that everything was going smoothly and efficiently. He definitely added to the evening to make it a great experience for all parties involved. His hospitality and management took this event above and beyond. Here's to you Bourne Mansion and especially to you, Steve! Thanks for a great night!

sistant Catherine, went above and beyond to attend to all of the needs of the wedding party, from arrival at the venue to our departure following the reception. Due to the uncertainty of the weather, we decided to move the ceremony indoors last minute and Steve made the transition happen quickly and smoothly. I highly recommend the Bourne Mansion for your family wedding. The expectations of the bride and groom were exceeded. We received rave reviews from family and friends in attendance.
