Insignia

pone twice and both Marissa and Mirela were amazing and understanding. Once we started planning again we worked with Mirela who was absolutely amazing. She definitely understands the stress of planning a wedding! The day of the wedding I could not believe how beautiful the reception space was. I was so nervous because of the weather and she was so reassuring that they would make it work no matter what and she did! Our server for the day was Erin and she made sure that we were never thirsty or hungry! The food...the drinks...the space...the service is outstanding! Do not hesitate to book this venue!

Stars! The entire staff is extremely dedicated and attentive to all your personal touches to make the day special. They always replied quickly to any questions we had, etc. Kaven took care of my husband and I the day of the wedding and he was also fantastic. He always ensured we had plenty of food and drinks and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything throughout the night. The entire staff is friendly and helpful no matter who you are working with. I also highly recommend the bacon station and the nutella stuffed cookies as an exit station! Our guests were blown away by the quality of the food they were eating at a wedding. Weeks later we are still receiving phone calls about the amazing food and service from family and friends. I am looking forward to having many anniversary dinners at Insignia and want to thank everyone again for making our day perfect.

lly cared about our experience. You can just tell. I'll keep it brief.. you have the whole place to yourself. Cocktail hour in the gorgeous bar area and patio - not like a catering hall but like an upscale steakhouse bar. The same fantastic drinks and the same bartenders who work the restaurant. Steakhouse appetizers - not catering hall appetizers! Dinner - again, real steakhouse food! Great choices. All top notch food. The service was fantastic. Everyone we came across was helpful and eager to make sure we had the BEST time! Oh, and you will not believe how affordable this is! I never would have even considered Insignia if my wife hadn't called just out of curiosity about pricing. Seriously....it's amazing. Finally, the space is really beautiful. Upscale and not at all gaudy or cheesy like a catering hall. Shout out to our band "Mean Machine" who made the wedding so much fun! Highly recommended!

or something different - not a traditional catering hall. Insignia was our first and only choice. Mirela was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was so helpful with all of my questions and extremely accommodating with my schedule. She made the planning process a breeze and was able to bring my vision to life. We had the ceremony and reception and Insignia and we are still receiving compliments about both. The whole venue is so beautifully decorated -- it really stands out against the "traditional" wedding venues. You feel the NYC vibe without leaving Long Island. The staff at Insignia is highly efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. We can’t rave enough about the amazing food and drinks at Insignia. The menu options are beyond anything we’ve ever seen at a wedding. If you are looking for an unforgettable wedding, I highly recommend Insignia.

hat we got! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect--not ONE problem! From when we arrived for our first look to the moment we left, everything was flawless. We had our ceremony there and it was so lovely. Following the ceremony, I cherish the quiet moments that my husband and I had. We were given a platter of delicious cocktail hour food and had the opportunity to enjoy our just married excitement in private. Because Insignia is a restaurant, the food was perfection. We did a sit down meal with six entrees and our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Our server was Josue and he was so attentive, friendly, and reliable. He had waters ready the moment I needed it, he had new drinks in our hands the second they looked close to empty, and served us absolutely every dish available! He made great recommendations and made our day perfect. I have to share how wonderful Mirela is. Going into planning a wedding, I was very nervous based on experiences I had heard about, but Mirela eased every concern I had every step of the way. She has handled my never ending questions for six months with quick and kind responses, she maintained a fun stress-free environment, she was calming when needed, and she coordinated the most perfect day. By the time we had our final details meeting, I knew it would be the best day of my life--and it was. Insignia is an incredible venue and I highly recommend that you check it out!

anxious mess until my final meeting with Marissa, and after sitting down with her to go over final details, it was clear I had nothing to worry about. Marissa had EVERYTHING under control. My only job was to enjoy myself! I heard horror stories from friend saying they didn’t eat or drink a thing on their wedding day, which was definitely not the case for us! Our attendant, Liz, was amazing! Always making sure I had a fresh ice water (with a straw so I didn’t mess up my lipstick!), and a fresh cocktail if I stood in one spot for more than 5 minutes. She would seek us out to tell us that our food was being served so we didn’t miss it, and then when we did miss it bc we were too busy dancing, she would box everything up for us to take home. Insignia’s attention to detail is unmatched. And I couldn’t imagine working with any other team on my wedding day!

ing day she took care of everything with such an amazing team as well! Ross was our server and he was fantastic!! Our friends and family are still saying how amazing the food was and how attentive the staff was. You will not be disappointed if you book with Insignia!

stic. If I could relive the day over, I would. Thank you for giving me the wedding of my dreams.

able numbers, place cards, ect. perfectly. Anything we needed she was right there. The whole day went so smoothly because of her and all of their staff. We had our own waiter that made sure we had everything we needed all day. The venue itself is so beautiful, and the food and drinks are out of this world! We still can't stop talking about it, and neither can any of our guests! They really make sure you know the whole day is about you !

I wanted, and nothing I didn’t all in one. What Mirela and the entire staff did that truly made our day what it was. From our first meeting to every email, Mirela answered every single one of my questions directly, honestly, and with care. There were no hidden policies or fees, and I never felt uneasy about a thing. She never forgot anything I asked for, never tried to disregard any concern, and went out of her way to make everything as easy, convenient and as straightforward as possible. A quick list of all the things Mirela and the staff did to accommodate us and make our wedding absolutely perfect: Perfectly set up all of our decor, and truly paid attention to all the details. Made extra time for our florist and their set up. Gave us our own display of appetizers during the cocktail hour and made sure we had time to eat them just the two of us. Mirela flawlessly orchestrated our ceremony procession and fixed my train before I walked down the aisle as well as secured my bustle during cocktail hour. Made sure all of our decor and personal items were together and ready to go, as well as packed up leftover food (which was amazing). They did literally everything without hesitation or an ounce of pushback. From the hostess, to the waiters, the bartenders, valet, and to our own personal attendant, every single person went above and beyond. They made our guests feel like they weren’t only attending a wedding, but that they were having their own night out where they were just as seen and important as anyone else. Our family and friends are still talking about the food. The appetizers blew away any wedding appetizers people have had before. Guests shared with us they felt that not only was the food the best they’ve ever eaten at a wedding, but that is was some of the best food they have ever eaten in general. At the bar, our guests absolutely loved that they could literally drink the best of anything they wanted, and they are still talking about the pomegranate martinis. At one point, a family member dropped a fork and as he was getting up to get a new one, one of the waiters had already noticed and replaced it for him. Our own attendant was so accommodating that not only were our champagne glasses never empty, but she made sure that they were never even the slightest bit warm, always bringing us chilled refills. Also worth noting that everyone always tells people when wedding planning is to make sure the bride and groom eats. It was impossible for us not to eat on our day. There was so much food brought right to us, and so much time for us to sit and eat that we felt so cared for. The morning after our wedding, a family member asked if anything went wrong or if there was anything I would have done differently. I had to stop and pause because I didn’t realize until she had asked, that not a single thing had gone wrong, and that there was not a single thing I would have done differently. I don’t think I could have said that if it were not for Insignia and Mirela. Our day felt as if it wasn’t just another wedding, but that ours was the only wedding.

beyond so many times. She is quick to respond to emails. She had a great vision for the space and how it will fit your wedding. We booked for Saturday afternoon and had the place to ourselves. We had a few people drop last minute because of medical emergencies and she literally was able to add the $300 to give our guests extra food for the wedding. Honestly, this place was a dream to work with. Even day of, we had an amazing server just for my husband and I who always made sure we were eating and drinking and had a fun time. When I was sweaty from dancing and said something about getting a napkin before the next round of photos, a server was right there to give me one. Absolutely incredible. I look back even months later and cannot believe what the venue pulled off. Thank you Mirela and the team at Insignia. The professionalism was amazing, the food was AMAZING, and the way you treated us and our guests was above and beyond. Thank you so much for making our day the best day of our lives!

ut the food and the layout. It was nice to have an outdoor area, a huge bar, a dance floor, and the tables. They really do a great job of making your wedding "yours". If you're on the fence of where to get married, trust you will have no complaints with Insignia.

s to the day of she was there to help with anything needed. We've heard from SO many guests that our wedding was the best that they've ever been to. If I could do it all over again I would choose Insignia every single time.

so attentive. It is absolutely gorgeous, and elegant and the facility is beautiful. Mirela, the the banquet manager is a dream! She is so professional and such a pleasure to work with. She works flawlessly and made sure all was perfect on our day. The timeline for everything was on point. My husband and I can’t stop talking about the food and service. Everything exceeded our expectations. Not to mention their delicious drinks and FOOD! Thank you Insignia for this beautiful memory that I will always cherish!

we visited a few traditional reception halls - none of them felt like “us.” We decided to check out Insignia, and as soon as we walked in, we knew it was meant to be. From our first meeting with Mirela, she made the process a breeze. She was so supportive through the whole process, answering our million-and-one questions. She and the team were incredibly accommodating, willing to do whatever it took to make sure we were happy. On the day of the wedding, Mirela helped with last minute details, helping to setup our décor (place cards, favors, bubbles for the ceremony, etc.) and making sure every detail was covered. She even put the final touches on our wedding cake – after our florist and baker dropped things off, she added the cake topper and put fresh flowers on our cake – it came out exactly as I envisioned. During the chaos of cocktail hour & photographs, she made sure my husband and I had a few minutes to ourselves to rest and reflect; a private table was prepared for us to enjoy our appetizers. Our attendant Kaven was always nearby, offering us a fresh drink, serving our food, and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Our guests are still raving about the delicious food, the gorgeous venue, and the overall ambiance of the day. It was absolutely the most perfect day!

d Mirela and the staff especially our waiter Kaven made sure every detail was in order. The food was exceptional and everyone is still raving about it. As a former waitress/bridal attendant I have worked a couple of hundred weddings and if you are looking for something unique, beautiful and hands down the best food a wedding could have you must have your wedding at Insignia. The day was so perfect that if I could I would do it all over again at Insignia.

hich is what I was avoiding. I wanted something different and Insignia was PERFECT! The staff is absolutely welcoming and professional. Mirela, is the banquet manager and super easy to work with. I appreciated her honesty and feedback. She helped to make sure all was perfect on our day. The timeline for everything was on point. A week later everyone keeps telling us our day was magical and that Insignia is absolutely breathtaking. My husband and I can’t stop talking about the food and service. Everything exceeded our expectations. Not to mention their delicious drinks and FOOD!!!!! People are still talking to us about the truffle Mac and cheese. I am a huge critic... and I don’t have one single negative thing to say about how our wedding day went. We can’t wait to go back this summer to enjoy their beautiful patio for a regular dinner.

al food and service and different than every other wedding we've attended. Mirela, the wedding coordinator is there for you for every detail of the event. I even had the ceremony onsite and it was perfect. Food was top notch, drinks were top shelf and everyone had a blast. You get the five star service you expect from Insignia. I would not change one thing about my wedding day.. it was the perfect venue.

day perfect. They helped us create our own signature cocktails and had so many different food options to choose from. The venue is gorgeous and there are so many different places to capture some amazing photos. I can't thank them enough for everything they did to make sure we had the perfect day. I would highly recommend this venue for any special occasions.

w lost all of our seating chart assignment cards, Mirela made sure that the event went off without a hitch. By the time the cocktail hour ended, she even had created a new visual representation of our seating chart and most of our guests had no idea that we even lost the cards. The food was absolutely amazing, and all of the extras were well worth the fees. The bourbon and cigar bar was a huge hit with the guests. We would absolutely recommend Insignia for your wedding or for any event! 5 stars without hesitation.

tle detail and really made our day that much more special. Mirela is one bad ass chick that knows exactly what she’s doing and knows it well.. A+++ :)

celebrate your wedding and anniversary’s for years to come at the restaurant !!! We can’t wait to go Back! All our guests said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding!

mething uniquely different than your typical wedding hall atmosphere and Insignia was exactly that. We only had to visit two places to realize Insignia was the one. Not only were we immediately swept away with the gorgeous decor, delicious food and the option to have the entire restaurant to ourselves, it was really Mirela, our Banquet Sales Manager, who solidified our decision to book with Insignia for our wedding day ceremony and reception. Her sweet and welcoming, yet very professional personality made us feel like we were immediately in great hands. And we were! My husband, who is not the easiest to please, left our initial meeting so impressed by Mirela’s ability to sense our needs and cater to our personalities to a tee. She never once tried to oversell or make us feel like we had to book. She worked with us on pricing, answered each and every email (and there were a ton!) quickly and in detail, reassuring me everything would be perfect. And it truly was! She really was my go to girl for everything! On the day of Mirela coordinated everything to perfection, working with her staff and all of our other vendors on setup, scheduling and flow. Even when a few curve balls came her way, Mirela and team were on point! The food, service, and decor was outstanding! The compliments have not stopped and we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out! To any future couple looking for an outside of the box venue that flawlessly delivers, I highly recommend Insignia Steakhouse!

horough. However, on the day of our wedding she blew me away. She is a machine. I didn’t have to worry about a thing because she literally thought of it all. I can’t say enough good things about her and do her justice. SHE is what made our wedding day so easy. The food and drinks at Insignia are everything. My guests are raving about everything from the ambiance to the food. I think this venue offers a very different, classy yet modern vibe. I couldn’t come up with a single negative thing to say no matter how hard I try. I would recommend them over and over again! I am so happy with our decision to have our wedding at Insignia! Brides.. you will not be disappointed!
