Crest Hollow Country Club

into their parking lot. The outside of the hall looked spectacular when we saw it. Then you walk in, and you are greeted with professional staff that make you feel like you matter. We did not get that sort of feeling at every other hall we went to see. We then met our banquet manager, Thomas Reitano, who was the absolute best to work with. He made sure that every question and concern we had was answered. Whatever we needed, he was there to help us through the process. He was so professional and just so personable that we felt as ease and we knew we made the right choice. We bought a lot of things that needed to be set up inside the reception, and we gave them instructions and they made sure that everything was the way we wanted it. The day of the wedding, we had a Matre D and a bridal attendant assigned to us. The Matre D, Matthew was just the best. I don't think my husband and I had an empty glass in our hand for more than a minute. He was on top of us, and made sure that we had everything we needed and also, made sure that our family was taken care of as well, which was just the perfect touch for us. Our bridal attendant, Lindsey was amazing! She made sure that my dress was bustled and every time I would turn around looking for anything at all, she was right there. We couldn't have asked for a better duo to have taking care of us that night. The food was out of this world!! Our guests were raving about how delicious and how much food there was at both the cocktail hour and the reception. The minute we walked into our hall the day of our wedding, we just knew that we made the right choice in selecting Crest Hollow to allow us to have the wedding we have dreamed of. Thank you so much to all of the staff that made this night possible!! A special thank you to Thomas, Matthew and Lindsay for being a part of our day and for making sure everything ran smoothly! You guys rock!!!

more than we ever could dream of. My wife being the super paranoid person she is, she thought no one would ever address her needs. Well guess what she was completely wrong and is actually writing this review right now!! Thank you so much Michael and anyone getting married in crest Hollow should definitely pick Michael as their venue manager, he really went above and beyond. Now onto Marina, she is the best bridal assistant any bride can ever ask for. From the moment I stepped in the venue for our wedding, to the very end until my shoes came off. She was there through photography through the tears basically all. I honestly could not have thought that someone can be there for you to that extent. I could not thank the Crest Hollow team enough for making my wedding super successful and the best wedding of 2018!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

lly know, because Crest Hollow manages those details, and makes everything run like clockwork. Mitch answered all our questions and concerns during the planning process. On the day, my wonderful bridal attendant, Sandy, was there for every unexpected hiccup - finding my father’s papers that he needed for the ceremony, driving my nine siblings back and forth from the photo locations, watching the ring (that we misplaced multiple times) like a hawk, and using her Mary Poppins kit to remove tags and threads from mine and my bridesmaids’ dresses, all while keeping everyone calm and organized. The staff knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony, and even though it was raining on and off throughout the afternoon, they were on-call to move the ceremony equipment back outside when the time came, rather than assuming it should stay inside. Herb, our maitre’d, was so warm and friendly to everyone, and was constantly checking in on me and my family to get anything we needed. We had such a wonderful experience with Crest Hollow; they removed all the stress of logistics, allowing the day all the euphoria and fun it deserves. Highly recommend using them!

r guests to where they needed to be. We had the pleasure of working with Helen who helped us plan the most perfect night. Contacting her was a breeze and she had everything planned down to the minute which helped the night run so smoothly. My bridal attendant, Sandy was a pleasure to work with as well. She was very helpful, especially when my dress strap broke even before the ceremony started! She sewed it right there on the spot and had everything I needed for the rest of the evening. We will definitely be recommending this venue to anyone looking for a place to get married! Keep up the great work, don't change a thing!

stage of our wedding, Michael ensured that our every wish was taken care of. On our wedding day, our maître d and bridal attendant took care of our every ask. They ensured that our attention was placed on our guests and enjoying the day rather than on any details that might have distracted us.

ph and Maria were on point throughout the whole wedding. I highly recommend the Crest Hollow the service was amazing.

tremely attentive and always there to make sure Steve and I were feeling great. And thank you, to Mitch our coordinator for being patient and always responding to all of my many e-mails. The entire Crest Hollow team made my husband and I feel so incredible. And not one thing went wrong. Thank you so much again.

unning. Our reception was at the Starlight ballroom, another stunning spot. The attention and service by all the staff and our banquet manager Helen was impecable. They really know how to treat you like royalty. All my guests were so taken back by how excellent the service was. Everyone raved about the wedding. The food was amazing. Everything ran so smoothly. Working with Helen was a pleasure. She is such a kind and patient woman. She really knows how to listen and look after her clients. She also has the cutest Australian accent (I could listen to her for hours haha). I was even able to book a house florist (Flowers by Brian) and a house photographer (True Love Wedding Photography) at a discounted price. Both of them were also beyond amazing to work with. Crest Hollow was worth every single penny. I have never felt more like a princess in my life. Thank you to Helen and all the staff at Crest Hollow. As someone who's a perfectionist and gets bad anxiety, you guys really made my big day feel like a breeze. I could relive that day over and over again. I recommend Crest Hollow to everyone.

ot have been possible without a special team. Crest hollow was the first and only venue my then fiancé looked at for our wedding ceremony and reception. Michael Donahue was our sales manager. The first time we met him, he was very kind, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. He made the wedding planning process So easy. He really put us at ease. He was there from the very being to the very end and supported us each step of the way. He was always accessible and helpful with questions that we had at any time. On the day of our wedding our maître D’ and butler Jordan and Matt were amazing. I did not have one bit of stress and we were able to enjoy our day because they really put us at ease, and coordinated the entire event. The staff here are extremely pleasant and I would recommend Michael, Matt and Jordan to anyone who is planning a big event. I wish I could do it all over again! The event was unforgettable. All of our guests wished we could have done it all over it again!

hour and a half after the scheduled time and were greeted by Mike and Angela who introduced themselves as our attendants for the day. Can I say amazing ! I was immediately calmed by their presence. They catered to our every needs, answered all our questions, got us food before we asked, made sure everything was in place; they completely exceeded my expectations. We actually paid the additional fee to have the ceremony outside in their beautiful gardens but unfortunately during set up it started to rain so we had to move everything inside. Disappointing but not a total loss because they said we could have our money back. Leo was our coordinator, he was great as well, knowledgeable but not pushy ! Overall it was a great experience, our guests raved about the food and how the bartenders weren’t stingy with the alcohol ! I would definitely recommend.

wedding reception there. Big shout out to Uliana, she was always there to answer questions and to help us make our wedding day perfect. 100% recommended.

seamlessly. My husband took me back there for our first anniversary and they were still so sweet and friendly. We chose this hall for the service and the scenery and were very pleased! Would HIGHLY recommend!

the Emerald Room we loved was available for us. She also had arranged us a tasting appointment to test the quality of the food they served. The food was amazing. Each bite was very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Since Helen got a promotion half way through our process of planning the wedding, we were happily paired with Uliana who also went above and beyond to help make our day perfect. Both handled the transition professionally. Uliana is a delight. Since the other few times we had met with Helen was in the winter or bad weather, Uliana was happy to show us around the outside grounds. They have plenty of beautiful scenery to take pictures. Who knew they had a small pond, gazebo and fountain hidden in the back to the left of the grand pool? Uliana helped finish all the party planning to make sure everything was set how we wanted, so there was no worry when we arrived after our ceremony at the church. Both Helen and Uliana was quick to email us back with any questions we had. What is really great is that they were able to get us exactly what we wanted for our reception. Uliana made sure that their crew was able to get the decorations we provided set perfectly in our reception room. Day of the wedding we were greeted by our maître d', Al, and our bridal attendant, Sandy, when we arrived. They both were great to make sure that my husband and I had everything we needed and also managed our time. Sandy also did a great job of repurposing the flowers we had on the pews from the church to our sweetheart table. She had also helped bustle my dress, so my girls were able to attend cocktail hour. In our bridal suite we had some food available to us since we didn't have time to pop in our cocktail hour. I have been to a family wedding at Crest Hollow last year and the cocktail hour is big. Plenty of food to select from. As a host, there was a lot of food that came standard, then there are parts we got to choose for our guest (carving station, pasta, hot dishes). For dinner, we chose to do a three course dinner. What was great is that our guests were given seven different options of entrees to choose from. The food was amazing and our guests enjoyed it. The wedding cake is made by their house baker (Dortoni's Barkery in Levittown), which happens to be one of our favorite local bakeries. They did a great job making the cake we wanted. Overall, my husband and I had a great experience here as a guest on a previous occasion and as hosts from start to finish. I would recommend them to anyone.

made sure everything went smoothly, I wanted for nothing. The grounds were beautiful and the atmosphere great! I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue. Thank you!

ything so seamless and my bridal attendant Delmi, was always there for me. On top of all that they've done, they surprised us with a martini bar and the lounge that had made our wedding so much better and our guest really enjoyed it. I would recommend this venue to anybody.

very need. Both inside and out, the entire venue is beautiful. The cocktail hour was exquisite. Our guests were so pleased with the many delicious choices during the cocktail hour. The main course was delicious as well. And it was served nice and HOT! It’s been just over a month since our wedding, and so many attendees are still saying how beautiful everything was. Even those that didn’t attend are saying nice things from what they’ve heard. So if you’re in search of the most beautiful place to have your wedding, look no further. Cresthollow is definitely the place. Trust...they will not disappoint!!! By the way, if you’re deciding on whether or not to hire a wedding planner, don’t bother because the maitre’d and bridal attendants will have everything covered from beginning to end. There really is no need. Thanks Cresthollow for helping to make for a perfect day...despite a chilly Spring day. Everything was really beautiful!!! We would definitely recommend you to any and everyone!

design the perfect menu that our guests still rave about, more than one month after. Diane, my bridal attendant made sure we did not starve. She insisted that we had our privacy and that we ate at the cocktail hour. She helped me fix my dress and gave me a pair of flip flops as my feet were hurting from my shoes. This is definitely not the last time I pick this venue and I truly recommend it to brides and others who are planning an event

he Vienesse Hour in which he told us we would discuss after booking, closer to our wedding which I said we could not do we have to know now. Their Vienesse hour is a rip off, it does not include a chocolate fountain, it does not give you an extra hour to your party... yet it is $17 a person. We told Michael we had more venues to visit, in which he told us we were crazy that Crest should be it. After calling us several times we decided maybe we should just give it a second look since the outside was absolutely gorgeous. Well, we told Michael we still wanted to see the bridal suite etc. but upon arrival he thought we were booking once we got into his office. Finally were showed (SMALL!)bridal suite and you do not know your ceremony or cocktail room until day of- im sorry this bothered me. For the Vienesse hour we explained how most venues give you an extra hour and ALL is included, not just certain deserts/tables. When he figured we were not booking, his face literally turned RED and he got loud with us basically yelled, told us we are not normal that we went to a venue twice and did not book. He asked where else we were going to look, I told him in which he said that venue has had several owners since they've opened and their quality is poor... meanwhile this has been a Scotto Brother venue and they have been their for 50 years! in addition, he mentioned now he would throw in the chocolate fountain, my fiancée was fed up at this point and said it was not just about the fountain in which Michael YELLED "REALLY? BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED IT FOUR TIMES" after this we just ended the meeting. 20 minutes later Michael called again just to remind us tip is included in price. If he was not so pushy we would have booked this gorgeous venue.

went into saying that he has plenty of clients that call from over seas to book here and that he might not have dates if we hold off. He called us twice after our visit. The second time he called my fiancé let him know we had already booked another place. He questioned if that was set in stone, which he replied it was and the coordinator said ok then and hung the phone up. Wasn’t very professional and if he was so pushy in our first meeting we probably would have booked here.

eally helped us plan everything in a timely fashion​. We highly recommend booking Helen as your banquet manager if you are planning an event at the Crest Hollow. From our experience, you should follow Helen’s instructions​ ​​and advice verbatim, including providing all of the information​ she requests​​,​ such as contact info for all of the vendors ​for your event, ​because ​she coordinates everything for you​,​ which makes everything seamless. The day of, our bridal attendant and Maitre’D greeted us when we arrived at Crest Hollow after our ceremony, and brought us to our suite. Thanks to Helen, they took care of EVERYTHING. There was food ready for us​ in our suite​, they made sure our photographers came to meet us, and they really made sure we were relaxed and ready for our reception. ​We practically had our own ​Crest Hollow ​party planning team with us​ since the day we booked our event, and including the day of​. Throughout the entire event, if we needed anything, they were there, and we can’t thank everyone at Crest Hollow enough for making our day so special. The hard work, dedication, and organization was impeccable. The hall was beautiful, the food was beyond delicious, and it was truly a pleasure to work with everyone at Crest Hollow. We highly recommend this beautiful venue to all ​couples! Best regards, Nancy & Joe

nt managers from Crest Hollow. I must say, just amazing of a person. Helen took us around the grounds and catered to us while touring us around. Her personality and her laughter brought happiness to both my wife and I. Whatever you needed or wanted, Helen was able to provide but also give feedback to her past experiences. She provided us suggestions for our wedding that we have not thought of and it worked out great. Helen wasn’t about the sale or the money but the happiness and enjoyment our friends, family and ourselves would have at Crest Hollow. I remember Helen was our first visit on our venue list and when it was time for us to go, she gave both of us a hug and said, “Go, you have to visit other venues, but I will start on the paperwork because you will both be back”. My wife and I looked at each other and smiled and we headed on our way to our other appointments. So, here we are a few hours into our appointments and we looked at each other and both knew what we wanted. Fast forward a few hours and we ended up hugging Helen and going through the process of signing our contract with Crest Hollow. We knew we had made the perfect choice, someone who takes joy in others happiness and not just a sale. We were treated and felt like part of the family. What was only an hour meeting ended up with numerous fruit tarts, cookies and fruit ice teas for hours. So, only a few days before the wedding and we had a final meet with Helen. I had dropped off our boxes for set up and asked Helen if we needed to have someone here to help set up. She smiled and said, “All you need to do is show up”. We were a little skeptical but with dealing with Helen, we had complete trust in her and her team. Helen assigned Al as our maître d’ and Carol as our bridal assistant. If you have your wedding at Crest Hollow Country Club, they are the two people you want to be by your side. They made everything run smoothly and assured us we were the life of the party. They abided by the schedule and made sure we had a chance to eat. They day was hectic and fast and they made sure we were well taken care of. We had a small issue with our florist and my wife was not happy. Carol and Al sprang into action and took charge and made sure the issue was resolved with the florist without involving us. My wife whispered into my ear and told me they both are angels and she couldn’t function without them. Our wedding was October 22, 2017, and I am now writing my review of Crest Hollow because, I just had too much to say and too little time to put it in words. If you are to have your wedding or any function, Crest Hollow Country Club is the place to have it. Thank you again Helen Tull and your amazing team for making our wedding, the most memorable day in our life. With much love, Sarah and Melvin #EngTangled

with Michael to discuss our wedding day details we were given a plate of cookies and delicious glasses of iced tea. Michael was extremely open and honest with us in what the Crest Hollow had to offer. We were able to customize our wedding day to make it absolutely perfect. The beautiful grounds was the perfect back drop for our photos, we were able to take pictures right in front of the Crest Hollow a well as by the pool at night. The pool and little beachy sitting areas made it feel as though you were at a destination wedding. The Emerald Room is the room to go for, with a large beautiful outdoor patio area with a waterfall and seating for guests to enjoy themselves. An unexpected surprise to the the room was when I walked in and saw how beautiful all of the little details came together. One surprise that the Crest Hollow took upon themselves was to set up a little lounge area by the back bar of the room. Our guests raved about all the food options during cocktail hour, there wasn't one thing they didn't like, even the dinner options were amazing with 7 different entire options, there was something for everyone. I also have to rave about Sandra my bridal attedant she was absolutely amazing, while we were taking pictures outside she brought plates of hot hors d'oeuvres for our bridal party as well as drinks to enjoy. Our mater'd was also top notch at one point my husband and I realized that his grandmother does not eat chocolate we asked our mater'd if there was anything other dessert options that could be brought out. Next thing you know grandma had a bowl of lemon gelato in front of her. The saddest part of our wedding being is over is we no longer get to see Michael. Thank you Crest Hollow for making my wedding dreams come true!!!!

ndly and also very accommodating. I want to especially give thanks to Michael Donahue who went beyond the call of duty to accommodate me, especially throughout my husband's health crisis. He took the anxiety off my shoulders and made my event magical. I love Micheal and highly recommend him!!! He's so empathic, accommodating and super resourceful!!! And did I mention that you will have a red carpet event at reasonable prices... you cannot go wrong. I look forward to hosting more events in the future at Crest Hollow.

zing friend Sharyn. We are mesmerized by the place and Helen took really good care of us and made us feel welcome right away. Something the first venue we visited had no idea how to do. Helen gave us a tour of the entire facility while answering all of our questions. She understood that we were doing everything ourselves and worked with us and our budget and made the entire process very smooth for us. Finally the day of arrived and we were complete nerve wrecks, but Henry and Kathia were all over the place for us and needless to say very organized and professional. They definitely know how to make your day go smooth. In terms of food, lets just say that even two weeks after our guest still rave about how amazing the food looked and tasted. Family and friends would not stop complimenting the food which made me very happy as the second thing people enjoy must in weddings is the food or is it the open bar? Regardless, we enjoyed our special day and are very happy that CHCC was the right venue. To the entire team both front and back of the house all we have are compliments. Thank you CHCC for the amazing day.

s our banquet manager, and he did an incredible job! During each meeting with Tom, he was always extremely helpful, enthusiastic, and organized. He made sure our wedding day included everything we wanted and paid attention to details. If we ever had a question, he would respond quickly and was always willing to work with us. On the wedding day, many of our guests arrived to Crest Hollow earlier than the cocktail hour. The staff was extremely accommodating and let the guests enjoy the cocktail hour early so they were not left standing and waiting in the lobby. Our maitre‘d, Henry made the flow of the wedding flawless and made sure everything was perfect. He showed us our reception room (the Plaza room) set up before the guests entered in from cocktail hour, and asked us if we wanted to make any last minute adjustments. The Plaza room was a perfect size to fit all of our guests while also feeling very intimate. All of our family and friends raved about the food and ambiance of Crest Hollow, and we enjoyed our wedding so much! The staff’s professionalism is unbeatable, as they accommodated all of our needs. We will be forever grateful to Crest Hollow for making our special day a memorable day for not only us, but all of our guests.

so spectacular. Thank you to our banquet manager Michael and the entire Crest Hollow Country Club team.

made this venue stand out from the rest that we visited. Mitch, our banquet manager, was introduced to us by way of a mutual friend, but he truly treated us as if we were family. His advice was incredibly helpful, offering tips and suggestions that helped us along the crazy paths to the big day, including the hiring our wedding vendors and getting every little detail ready for our nuptials. The day of our wedding went off absolutely flawlessly. The ballroom they set aside for our ceremony was set up beautifully and our reception ballroom was exactly what we wanted - big party feel without being too over the top. Huge thank you to bridal attendant Sandy and maitre d’ Declan who did a phenomenal job of navigating myself, my wife, our bridal party and our families through every single aspect of our wedding day, including the first look, pre wedding photos, signing the license, the ceremony, the reception and everything in between. They made sure my wife and I had some time to be by ourselves and eat something in between the ceremony and stopping in to the cocktail hour. We had been told leading in to the wedding that we would have to make sure we ate something that day, but with this little breather, we got plenty of time to do that and to be with each other on our special day. We can’t say enough positive things about Crest Hollow. They made our day nothing short of perfect and we highly recommend you check them out for any of your needs

h beach inspired cocktail hour by the gorgeous pool and sand. Our reception was in the newly renovated plaza room which was gorgeous! Loved the layout, dance floor was perfect for our 200 guests, and it felt so private. TK was our banquet manager and he couldn't have been a better fit. He did a great job taking care of us, he's super detail oriented and was always so quick to answer any questions we had. Day of the wedding went off without a hitch due to the highly experienced crew here! If you're looking for the full package- choose the crest Hollow!

next to my cake as if I was Jewish.

After our first meeting, even before we signed on, we knew we'd be in great hands with Helen Tull, our banquet manager. She answered every question (we had many) and quelled any concerns about planning our big day. She is pleasant and professional, has great energy and works so hard to make sure that you truly have the most special day. Helen was flexible and worked around our busy schedules to meet with us. She made sure that we were providing as many details to Crest Hollow as possible, so that our day went exactly how we envisioned. However, that was NOT the case - it was even better than we could've imagined! It's now two weeks later and our guests are still gushing about the beauty of the venue and grounds, the amazing service, and the magnitude and quality of the food. We can't say enough about Helen and the incredible staff at Crest Hollow. We were especially grateful for Sandy, the bridal attendant and Ralph, the maître d', who stayed with us from the moment we arrived for our first-look session to the end of the night. There was so much warmth and attentiveness from them throughout the evening that, even with 300 guests, it was a beautifully intimate event. Thank you Helen and Crest Hollow for an unforgettable wedding!

g!

essica my bridal attendant was absolutely AMAZING! I got out of my limo right away handed me a drink. What every I needed that day she got me with out a question. I highly recommend this venue. Work with Thomas. He is the absolute best. He is patient and kind, and listens to what the bride and groom want. He also tries to accommodate anyone else who is helping plan this wedding in my case my mother. We had a different planner in the beginning and he was not so good. Thomas did everything I wanted plus some. GREAT VENUE!!!!

assistant made sure both me and my bridal party had any and everything we needed. I would highly recommend Crest Hollow for any wedding.

as perfect in accommodating our guest size of 460 people. The venue was large enough that it did not feel too crowded. The team at Crest Hollow was very helpful and made the day flow seamlessly. The food was beyond our expectation. All our guests loved the food and had plenty of variety. We highly recommend Crest Hollow Country Club as an excellent venue for any event!

ur wants met! All the guests are still talking about the cocktail hour food and atmosphere!

they have their select few businesses do flowers. My cousin has pleaded with them to see if I could bring in the flowers for her, and they briskly denied. I think it is a beautiful venue, but am extremely dissapointed in their values. I wanted to do something special for my cousin on her wedding day, and that chance has been taken away because Crest Hollow CC would rather have a few more bucks kicked back to them, than to see their brides happy. If you are satisfied with letting them have control of the intricate details for your wedding, I would recommend them.. but if you want to have the freedom to plan yourself, stay away.

chael Donahue. From the moment we met him, Michael worked to ensure all of our wedding dreams and wishes came true. He always made himself available to answer any questions we had, and he provided us with extremely useful suggestions that made the wedding preparation process that much more peaceful. Our reception at the Crest Hollow Country Club exceeded all of our expectations, and we continue to receive raving comments from our guests! Both my husband and I feel extremely blessed and grateful to have been able to have our wedding at such a romantic and beautiful venue, and we are forever thankful to Michael Donahue for helping us make our dreams into a reality.

e crest hollow staff on the day of the wedding was on point! The appearance of our venue room was immaculate! We will forever remember our wedding day!

t turned out. The customer service that was provided to my guests and bridal party was just awful!! I am very disappointed to say I received numerous complaints from both my bridal party and guests upon returning from my honeymoon. I was informed that the bartenders continuously made inappropriate comments to my guests about leaving tips. In addition to the bad service from the bartenders, there was a member of our "day of" team that brought incorrect things out to the bridal party and boldly told them, "Just take it." There was also great miscommunication about what I wanted/said and what my husband wanted/said by the wedding team that day. They told the bridal party "I didn't want to see anyone once I was dressed" which was far from the truth. I had to get one of my bridesmaids on the phone in order for them to let my ladies come back to the bridal suite. Also they told me "the ceremony is being held by your fiancé as his sister has not arrived yet". I got my fiancé on the phone as I was becoming frustrated and he had no idea what I was talking about. He hadn't informed them to hold the ceremony; I'm not certain who they were getting instructions from but they should not have been taking directives from anyone else. Overall I am outraged at this type of service. On your wedding day you expect your venue and its staff to be on their most professional behavior as we have been planning a year in advance, spending an immense amount of money to make this once in a lifetime event magical! The staff at Crest Hollow ruined that for my husband and I and we are appalled.

llent during the entire planning process. Our Maitre D, Nick, and Bridal Attendant, Jessica, were there every step of the way that night to make sure we were looked after. My husband's button came off of his jacket right before we were getting ready to make our grand entrance but our bridal attendant quickly got a sewing kit and sewed the button back on. Our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the outdoor cocktail hour was from the ambiance to the food to the drinks...it was a hit! The indoor reception in the Plaza Room was stunning. Every item that I dropped off for them to place around the hall from lanterns to games to picture frames were placed everywhere that I had asked them to and also packed away in a box neatly at the end of the night for us to bring back home. I can't begin to explain the overwhelming feeling of joy I had from the moment I arrived to Crest Hollow on my wedding day. They truly made us feel like a King and Queen on our special day and we are forever grateful to the entire Crest Hollow Country Club team for making our wedding a dream come true!

us around in a golf cart, sat us down to eat and vigilantly ensured that my dress was properly positioned. She even busselled it after the ceremony with lightning speed! And she was phenomenal at creatively solving day-of fiascos. I am so happy that I didn’t bother to have a coordinator because Marina did it all. The venue was breathtaking and they operate like a well-oiled machine. I actually gasped when I entered the hall because it all came together beautifully. The food was great and my guests were very happy with the venue, especially the top-shelf alcohol provided. They are flexible with planning the wedding and can tailor the event to your personal liking because you matter. You are not just another check.

ble to get a magical day. We got married on 9/3/2016 and I am sooooooooo happy this is where I had my reception. My banquet manager was TK and he was the BEST! Him and my fiancé hit it off and became the best of friends. TK was just amazing on providing us information about the place, communicating, and being there to answer all my questions. When our day was approaching, TK, made sure everything would be perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better team, from him and the team who helped us throughout our wedding day. YOU ALL WERE AMAZING. What made our day better was knowing how mesmerized everyone was by the beauty of the place, the great food/cake, and the drinks. They absolutely loved everything and it was the best feeling in the world. They even packed up my entree cause I didn't eat it being surrounded by everyone. So I was able to enjoy it the following day. Me and my husband worked hard on planning our wedding and now two weeks in and people are still posting photos and talking about it. I am so happy my wedding turned out the way it did. It was magical, elegant, beautiful, and memorable.

by the poolside, our guest enjoyed themselves and loved cocktail hour! I can go on and on about the service and the food. My rating speaks for itself. I just love the fact that they walk with you step by step. Even when my consultant left and I had another consultant in the middle of my wedding planning, they stayed in close contact and picked up where we left off, not having to start over. They make sure your do your homework and they do theirs. It's a team effort. Crest Hollow is the place to have your wedding. I highly recommend it!

nt we booked. The day went flawlessly-- the grounds were beautiful for the outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, and there was great service and food during the reception. The bridal attendant and maitre'd were both great! We received rave reviews from our guests, and would recommend Crest Hollow to anyone. The price was very reasonable compared to other LI venues, but you get amazing service, food, and space!

stunning. (Starlight was my room) The guest raved about the food and I highly recommend having your wedding event here.

nd we have at least 5 weddings per year in my community)! The venue was beautiful. We used the courtyard for our pre-wedding photo session, and the pictures look amazing! My bridal Attendant Diana took such good care of me. She made sure I ate and even brought me smoothie drinks into the bridal suite. I felt like a princess for a day! Michael, my Maitre D, stayed on top of the schedule and worked with my Mom to ensure our scheduled events ran smoothly. There was sooo much food at the cocktail according to my guests that by the time they came to the reception meal, they were already full. The dessert and cake were very good! My only disappointment was that we were ushered out of the ceremony hall really quickly that we didn’t have a chance to take pictures with our guests afterwards. But we were running a little behind schedule so can’t entirely blame them for it. Overall, there was no stress and no drama! All of my immediate family as well as my guests had such a great time! This is my Mom’s favorite wedding venue and we hope to use it again for future celebratory events! Would 100% recommend for a wedding or any celebratory events!

st Hollow's beautiful grounds. I could not have asked for a more perfect day…totally stress free.

tion/request we had whether it was via email or over the phone. She put our minds at ease if we were unsure or concerned about specifics of the reception. Helen is a professional in this business who knows exactly what she's doing and is such a pleasure to work with! If she wasn't available then one of her colleagues was always quick to help us. As for the night of our wedding reception and cocktail hour, the services provided were exceptional from the banquet managers, Maitre D', bridal attendant, to the bar and dinner attendants! The food and the service was outstanding and to the highest quality. Our guests loved the food and the property and had such a fantastic time, including the Viennese hour. Every detail was taken care of and we didn't have to worry about one thing. For example, it ended up being slightly cold during the outdoor cocktail hour but CCHC was prepared by putting as many heat lamps in the area as they could and opening up an indoor space for our guests. We had such a great time! Thank you for making our wedding reception one we and our guests will never forget!

re just as gorgeous in person as they are in the pictures. The entire place is immaculate, the staff is ridiculously courteous and responsive, the decor is tasteful, and you 100% feel like you are the ONLY couple getting married that day! Our Maître d', Ralph, was wonderful. While he was quite old-fashioned in that respectful, quiet, classy way more men should have, he had everything running like clockwork – It seemed that if you were a member of his staff, there was no fooling around. He demanded perfection and would accept nothing less. My Bridal Attendant, Sandy, was the female version of Ralph – EVERYTHING went perfectly in her capable hands! I must admit, at first she was quite intimidating, but early on I feel we developed a mutual respect for each other and each other’s position, needs and desires, and after that we became fast friends. There was NOTHING that I needed, that she didn’t have seconds before I asked for it. She anticipated every single thing that I, as a Bride, could have possibly looked for. My personal experience at our Wedding would have been completely different if not for Sandy – She truly helped make the evening PERFECT. The Chef, whoever he or she may be, made dish after dish after dish of mouthwatering food! While it’s relatively easy to make a small meal taste wonderful, something is usually lost when making food in very large quantities. It’s unfortunate, but it does happen more often than not. Let me tell you, Chef ______, everything that left your kitchen was a total pleasure to eat! I don’t know how you did it, but not an ounce of flavor was lost in anything that was served to us. Thank you for doing such a fine job! To all of the staff members of CHCC who helped to make our Wedding such a huge success, and Kerry our very patient Banquet Manager, BRAVO! Your efforts are more than appreciated. You all did an absolutely beautiful job, and Yianni and I shall never forget our fairytale Wedding! Cara and Yianni 7.19.15

! The discussion about children was not put in our contract. When we initially signed the contract, leo our sales manager said dont worry about the kids, it will be discounted but nothing was written in our contract. 2 months before our wedding they tell us that "for every 100 adults we get 5 kids discounted", then a few weeks before the wedding they changed it to "for every 250 adults, 5 kids will be discounted". Second issue was that our cocktail location was changed to another outside location which we were never notified about. What they showed us when we signed the contract was "coral gables" which is the area closer to the pool but what they wrote down on our contract was the "veranda" which is behind the hall which no one ever showed us that area till the day of our wedding when we were going up to the Gazebo to take pictures and, we noticed there was another party going on in our designated Area (Coral Gables) and our group was moved to another location (Veranda). WE ASSUMED WHAT THEY SHOWED US IS WHAT THEY WILL WRITE ON THE CONTRACT. This was clearly discussed and confirmed with our sales person (Leo) all the way up till the day of our wedding and not once did he say that our cocktail was the area behind crest hollow and not by the pool. During the reception we had a stage set up and we made it very clear to Leo that we want our sweetheart table on the stage but instead it was located on the side and not on the stage where we were sitting. We couldn't even munch on our food. When it was time for the toast, the maitre d nor the bridal attendant brought us the champagne glasses from our table which is located on the side of the stage. So we never got a chance to toast. Our photographer asked to take pictures at the fountain which we requested to our sales manager (leo) on our meeting but their staff told the photographer on the day of our wedding that he cant take pictures of us there. We had a big bridal party (total 20 people) and the bridal room was extremely small to hold everyone. We didnt even have space to change. We choose crest hollow and provided them with over 500 guests at the wedding. We expected what we discussed on our contract be delivered the day of our wedding. The day after the wedding we emailed leo and never heard from him. After 3 weeks, we called him and after waiting 15 minutes on the phone we mentioned all the issues that we had. He told me the director of marketing sales (?Jeanine Deon) will call us back and till this day we never received a phone call or email from either one of them. This is not the type of business I expect from Crest Hollow.

enues we visited. Our guests have said it was the best wedding they have ever attended and of course we think so too. Thomas thank you for everything. We truly feel without you we could not have pulled such an amazing wedding off! Because of their professionalism and attention to details we had nothing to worry about the day off. Jose our Maitre D and his bridal attendants were the perfect team!!! You can really see that they care about you, they make it personal and the goal is to create a wonderful experience for you and they were amazingly successful. Even when we had a bump in the road(as all weddings do)Thomas gracefully smoothed things out and we were left more satisfied than before. He was extremely accommodating and he worked hard to make sure that each detail was given due attention, from the wedding cake to the chairs. And the venue itself is breathtaking, we stumbled upon it in our weeks of visiting other venues on Long Island and when we saw CHCC, we knew immediately it was the place for us. It is simply majestic, and has a bit of everything we were looking for. My guests kept saying that it was as if they had left New York and were transported to paradise and I concur. We loved our wedding reception and it's all thanks to CCHC. Thank you for everything.

ing, and has the BEST accent. :P She prepared us for the wedding down to the last detail and worked with our budget to make everything we wanted possible. On the day of the wedding, everything was absolutely beautiful and so well planned it all went so smoothly! Our bridal attendant Jamie and maitre'd Kyle were there every second of the day, making sure we had everything we needed and taking care of every little detail. We didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to enjoy the day! I feel that everyone at CH really outdid themselves to make everything come together. The staff is wonderful. The venue is wonderful. I really couldn't be happier. If I had to do this all over again I wouldn't have done anything differently! Thank you so much for making it all possible!!!

ake one star off for the planning portion. We were passed around between 3 banquet managers, only one of which seemed competent enough to answer our questions. We had some special requests for Kosher food, and had false promises made, which led to a lot of stress. Additionally, the first two banquet managers we worked with could not answer simple questions about costs of extras and at times were completely unresponsive. If you decide to go with Crest Hollow as your venue two pieces of advice: 1) Ask for Mitch to be your banquet manager 2) Get EVERYTHING in writing, even if it seems like a small detail, do not rely on things "getting worked out later"

ts of it. The drinks were wonderful and the dessert was amazing. I am so glad we got married here. Despite the fact that one bathroom and the possibility of several events seems to put people off, Crest Hollow is a great choice.

She was very personable, friendly, and on top of things throughout the day. The only negative I would say is that some of the décor needs updating (like the hideous chairs!) but I would surely recommend the CHCC to others for their events.

ut very inflexible in the negotiating aspect, which I found to be shady. They provided what they provided, and any single change/extra thing was an extra charge. I wanted 1 stationary bar and 1 rolling instead of the 2 "rolling bars" that they included, which was an extra $300. The cake that they include comes exactly as is-All i wanted was for them to smooth out the icing design and apply a few ribbons/embellishments-they charged me $150 to smooth and apply ribbons that I PURCHASED and provided!!! They also tried to pull a fast one with the alcohol on the day of, saying that Corona and Heineken were not included in the "package that I selected" ....no option was ever given to me, or I would have chosen the highest one (after all the money I had already blown on a Saturday night wedding, why would I skimp?). Of course after they were called out on their lie, the Corona and Heineken magically appeared. The bridal suite wasn't available (without an extra charge!!) before 4:30, and my ceremony started at 630. I refused to give them another extra dime, and thus, my pictures were extremely rushed and didn't have a lot of variety. I'm not even wearing lipcolor in a majority of my pictures because there was no time to freshen up :( My bridal attendant, (I think her name was) Marina, was rigid and nasty and really stressful to deal with on a day that was already nerve-wracking. She wouldn't let anyone else fix me, insisting she was an expert in bustling, only to have my bustle come undone-I looked like a hot mess during my reception. Luckily, I was having such a great time dancing that I stopped worrying about my appearance. My MOH told me she tried to fix it and got yelled at by Marina. After my mother spoke to her, she became nicer and stopped being nasty to my bridal party. I also received complaints about one of the very old, very miserable bartenders being cranky to guests. I also had no idea that I would be sharing my outdoor cocktail hour with another party across the pool. When I asked, I was told I wouldn't be able to see any other parties going on. Although we (and all of my guests) still had the time of their lives, I would have rather spent the money elsewhere and been the only bride, not an after-thought.

s have been raving non-stop about the quality of the food, from the beef to the fish and everything in between. By far the best part of booking Crest Hollow was my bridal attendant, Marina. Words cannot express what a wonderful job she did. She was an absolute angel and could not do enough to help me. She was there whenever I needed anything and anticipated anytime I needed help. I only hope other brides can enjoy their weddings as much as I enjoyed my own. There was nothing wrong: nothing to stress over. Booking Crest Hollow for our wedding was easily one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding process!

manager during the planning process. I am ultimately happy we ended up with Costanza. Attentive and helpful from when she started with us. She wasn't there the day of our wedding which I thought was odd but everything at the venue went smoothly despite of that. Our guests had a great time and raved over the food and the overall beauty of the venue. I am looking forward to being a guest next summer at a wedding there which the couple choose after attending our wedding!!

n specific decorations like draping and chair covers. All we kept getting was "I don't know" and "It depends". How could she not know? She pretty much won't tell you anything until the party planning meeting when you have no time to look for other vendors. Helen was not helpful at all during the party planning meeting. Pretty much sat there and did not explain anything besides taking our choices for the menu. We had to plan everything ourselves and gave her specific instructions of how we want things set up which she agreed to do. BUT we've dropped off boxes of our own decorations the day before and specifically told them not to do anything until we arrive on our wedding day. Of course when we got there, all our boxes were opened and scattered into different areas. They've also rearranged and misplaced everything within our boxes making us scrambling all morning to locate things in the different areas. The set up instructions we gave during the party planning meeting were not followed at all. We've told matron'd to move things several times but he only did it at the very last minute right before when our ceremony was about to start. The bridal suite was not safe at all. They claim only a few specific people know the code to get in but any staff was able to get people in. When we inquired, they stated that the password is changed every two weeks?!? Shouldn't it change every time there's an event? Also, they opened the door while we were in the middle of changing. Dont they know how to knock? Overall, the food was good and bridal attendant was helpful. The matron'd tried to accommodate us. Helen, horrible. They need to give you direct answers earlier, follow instructions and have better security.

ad of the Mgr telling me she made a mistake, she was absolutely rude and not helpful. Finally after 2 phone calls Lauren admitted she was wrong and made a mistake. She told me she was so frustrated that it was just not worth it. Not worth it.. well you are in the wrong job. No apology at all and just said nothing she can do. I spoke to the Banquet manager and to my surprise he wouldn't honor the pricing I was originally given. I had this on paper and was really annoyed. If the Manager can't even get the pricing right , how are they going to manage my wedding!! I've never been mistreated so bad from a vendor and would not recommend this place... .that is unless you don't mind them scamming you. Unacceptable!!

ne who is looking for a place that gets the job done. They remembered to do things without me even telling them.

my dress for me, brought me drinks, and told me everything I needed to do. She made it as stress-free as possible. There was only thing that drove me crazy about the day. It sounds like a small/petty thing but it actually really upset me. The waiters/waitresses were clearing the appetizer plates as the speeches were being given by my maid of honor and the best man. You could not hear a word they were saying over the CRASH! CLINK! CRASH! of the dishes. No one at the wedding could hear a thing. I was almost in tears. Could they not stop clearing for the maybe FOUR MINUTES it took for the speeches?!?! One of my friends tried to talk to the maitre d' but by then the speeches were basically over. Other than this, it was a great day. A lot of my friends had great things to say about the food and the bartenders were great. Crest Hollow is one of the very few venues ANYWHERE that allows guests to choose from a full menu of 9 different entree choices. No tacky entree selections on the reply card necessary! The bridal suite was very nice and they had food waiting for my husband and I after the ceremony, and champagne. I really had a great day and overall Crest Hollow did an incredible job. Just maybe request no clearing during the speeches...

hotos. Our coordinator, Mitch, was on top of every detail throughout the planning process and was even there the day of the wedding. My attendant as well as my fiance's attendant were incredibly helpful and always there when we needed them. They took care of everything for us and made our wedding day stress free. Crest Hollow helped to make our wedding the most perfect day.

ade everything fantastic ! It's a must see before you book your venue
