Mansion at West Sayville

yond easy with such excellent vendors and Bob to work with. We could not be happier with how our day turned out. The staff and service were beyond amazing and we are so grateful to every member of the team, especially Annemarie and Jake. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the best day of our lives!

tion and we were even able to brave the cold for some sunset pictures before our cocktail hour. They did an excellent job with making the day feel special for us. The food was superb throughout and we really appreciated them making us a special platter of food in the bridal suite to give us a chance to sit and relax during cocktail hour before rejoining the party. Genuinely I have no complaints and will recommend this place to anyone I know who is getting engaged. I had friends from out of state say I massively undersold the beauty of the location when I told them about it and everyone who was there that talked to me after said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to and I can’t thank everyone at the mansion at West Sayville enough. 

nowledgeable and helpful from the very start. Everything was amazing and everyone had an awesome time. Camille, Steve and staff were so personable and attended to everyone’s needs the entire time. I cannot thank everyone enough for making my daughter’s bridal shower so special and memorable.

organized and attentive to every need. Our guests raved about the quality of the service and the food for each course. My husband and I felt like we didn’t have to worry about anything throughout the planning process and definitely not on the day of. The Mansion at West Sayville is reasonably priced and worth every cent! Highly recommended!!!

an old mansion on a golf course with so much charm and character. We wanted a simple, intimate wedding, and this venue was the perfect fit. We were especially excited about the outdoor ceremony space. Even though it rained and the team had to move everything inside, it was still absolutely amazing! The setup of the venue ensured it never felt empty, even with all of our guests present. The food was a 10/10. Our guests wouldn’t stop raving about it, and the portions were so generous that many couldn’t even finish their main courses (so tell your guest to take their left overs!!) The staff was incredible—attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. They made sure no one’s drink was ever empty, and you could tell they truly love what they do and take pride in being part of such special moments. We did do the vendor package which made everything easy. He gave us the option to opt out of one vendor for some money back if we wanted - which we did. We went with our own photographers. The vendor package just makes everything easy if you aren’t so picky but keep in mind you will have to upgrade everything in the package. If I had to name one downside, it would be the bridal suite. It’s a bit dated and small; I would have loved a larger space to get ready in. But honestly, that was the least of our worries and didn’t take away from our experience at all.

ng up to the big day! He’s so genuine and honest with you. Annemarie makes the day of your wedding go so smoothly and she is just so wonderful. Camille was so attentive and always made sure I was okay and had what we needed. The food was delicious and the entire staff was so professional! It’s such a beautiful venue with old charm! Seriously such an amazing place. Everyone is talking about how great our wedding was! Thank you so much to everyone at West Sayville!

is. Bob is amazing at what he does-he was so responsive and accommodating. Camille and Ann Marie were stellar. They took care of us all night and the day was absolutely perfect. The ambiance is gorgeous, the food was amazing and everyone kept saying how much fun they had. It truly is a hidden gem on Long Island and we can not recommend the Mansion enough for anyone looking for a beautiful, rustic, intimate wedding venue.

d to decorate how we please (within reasons of course) but they never really said no to any ideas we had for decorations

the perfect size for everyone to party comfortably. Working with the team at the venue was a breeze: Bob was easy to get in touch with and always answered all of our emails in a very timely manner; Ann Marie ran the day of spectacularly and made sure everything went smoothly; Camille the bridal attendant was so sweet and attentive and always made sure we had food and drinks in hand; all of the wait staff and bartenders were top notch and our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about our wedding. Definitely recommend everyone to have their wedding here, you will be so happy!

n, we knew we were in good hands. Bob made us feel welcomed from the very beginning, and that feeling lasted all throughout our engagement. Every question was always answered in a timely mattered and Bob always made me feel at ease. Further, anything I wanted to decorate was fair game within reason, and Bob always made sure to give me various perspectives on the space since he knows it like the back of my hand, and it helped me so much. On my wedding day, Camille and Ann-Marie were AMAZING! Ann-Marie must have re-bustled my dress 3 times because it kept breaking and she did so with a smile every time. Camille always made sure that my husband and I were taken care of throughout the whole day. Overall, I have nothing bad to say about this venue, and I am so glad we chose it because I can confidently say that my wedding day was an absolute dream and it's because of how amazing everyone is there.

a question (and I had many), I would email him, and he would get back to me almost immediately every time. They really made sure we were taken care of. We got so many compliments from our family and friends on the food, the staff, and the venue itself. Thank you for making our wedding day everything we could have ever imagined!

d everything was exactly how we wanted it. The food was amazing and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Our maitre’d AnnMarie was truly amazing and helped our day go so smoothly! I would highly recommend having your wedding here!!!

tive in answering all of our questions. The day of, the staff did a great job setting up the venue for our wedding and waiting the tables. The maitre'd, Ann Marie, was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran flawlessly and that we were well taken care of. The space itself felt very intimate and think it wold be perfect if you want a smaller wedding feel. Our guests had a lovely time, and would highly recommend this spot.

enue as dreamy and magical. The Mansion at West Sayville was the first venue we looked at, and we ended up looking at close to 10 different venues. We were looking at mainly Lessing’s properties because we knew we wanted to do the vendor package, and we were looking at venues on the water, because that’s one of our favorite parts about living on Long Island. The general manager, Bob, sold us on this venue. We enjoyed working with him for well over a year. He was quick to respond, and we truly had an easy process with planning our wedding. We did however run into a couple of snags closer to the big day. #1, Bob didn’t put in the contract that we were doing a vendor package. This added about $6K to our total bill that we were not budgeting for, and we found out about 6 weeks before our wedding day. There was nothing to be done – the vendors obviously had to be paid. Takeaway: be clear if you want the vendor package and make sure it’s reflected in the contract, or you will be surprised like us. #2, We got married on a Saturday night in June which is peak wedding season. The minimum guest count is 125. We didn’t think we’d have an issue hitting this number but only 107 people came. We still had to pay for 125; however, Bob threw in soft pretzels and churros, which I think is amazing and truly shows how great he is. Now to the big day. Camille was our Maître D. I wish we got to meet her or speak to her before the big day. She was sweet, on top of her stuff, and I really appreciated working with her. However, a couple guests said she was tough on the crowd (perhaps that’s just people not from New York though). Once we got to the Mansion at West Sayville for pictures, it was hectic. We had a million things going on at once and Andrew and I didn’t even look at the time until it was 10:30 PM!!! The staff kept us going though. We did everything we wanted to do and still had a good hour at the end of the night to dance dance dance. My bridal attendant was Laurie. She was amazing. She was all about ‘what do you want’ and helped Andrew and I put our foot down with the photographer and the DJ when we needed to. We needed to take certain family photos and accommodate a couple guests leaving early. She put my veil in my hair and took it out. She was truly lovely to work with. One note, the mansion told us we’d have 1 bartender and we had 2! We were not prepared for this tip wise. At the end of the day, I could not imagine our day being any better than it was. We had perfect weather, everything was kept on a timeline and just worked out amazingly. I sort of didn’t like that the dance floor was separate from the dining area, but I was assured by older relatives that it was truly appreciated for conversations.

all the staff there are so nice and kind. The food and drink were amazing. The venue was gorgeous for pictures. Everything was exactly how we imagined it and more. If you want to get married and have you reception here you should do it. Thumbs up

was beautiful inside and out, the food delicious and not your standard catering fare, the staff friendly and professional, especially Anne Marie, the maître d', and Camille, the bridal attendant. They took care of everything so that we could be fully present all day. The Mansion-recommended DJ, Dan from Just For The Record, took our song list and ran with it, creating the exact musical vibe we were seeking and kept everyone dancing. The flowers — bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, table and arbor arrangements — suggested and created by Ken (who knows the Mansion well) of Ken & Eva’s Flower Cottage were perfect — beautiful and reasonably priced. Working with experienced vendors who know the Mansion well and who did an amazing job made everything easy and resulted in a perfect wedding day. Highly recommend!

year and a half prior to our wedding to visit and book, he was quick to say "Yes" to just about everything we asked for (signature drinks, certain alcohol that we wanted o offer, extra food stations, etc.) and when it came time for our wedding, he certainly delivered! Bob was extremely fast to answer emails and just really a pleasure to work with. On the day of our wedding Anne Marie (maitre'd) was an absolute STAR- explaining how the ceremony would work, and going as far as to carry my train around for me. Camille (our bridal attendant) was always ensuring that my family and I had drinks, food from the cocktail hour, etc. Just complete pros all around! Plus, the venue is stunning and it was great to be able to work with the Long Island Maritime Museum next door for pictures and our ceremony. The food was incredible, our guests couldn't stop commenting on how great it was. Just truly the perfect day and we are so happy that we chose Mansion at West Sayville.

autiful and everyone raved about the food !

e knew it had to be our venue. From the century-old architecture and elegantly designed bright rooms to the immaculate views of the Great South Bay, The Mansion at West Sayville had everything we were looking for. Additionally, with his warm and kind personality, the General Manager Bob truly made us feel that we would be well taken care of every step of the way…and we were absolutely right. Throughout all the planning Bob was extremely communicative, answering every one of the many questions we threw at him in a timely manner. He was also incredibly accommodating, working with us to not once, but twice change the location of our ceremony in the days leading up to the wedding due to inclement weather. On the day of our wedding everything went off without a hitch thanks to the Maître d’ Annmarie who was simply exceptional. She ensured every member of the wedding party knew what to do and where to be, always gave us a heads up about what was coming next, and consistently checked in to make sure we were having a good time. If all that wasn’t enough, the food at The Mansion at West Sayville was out of this world! Everything served during cocktail hour was delicious, the steak we chose as a dinner option was huge and cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the seafood stuffed flounder was to die for. Compliments were flying left and right. All in all we could not have been happier with how everything came together and would highly, highly recommend The Mansion at West Sayville to anyone searching for an absolute gem of a venue to host their wedding or special event.

ille. They were amazing to work with from the moment we toured the venue and could not be happier with our choice. All our guests said it was the most amazing they’ve ever been too and that the food was incredible. We’re so happy with our decision and could not have asked for a better team on the most important day of our lives. Thank you again!!

f intimacy and charm. We absolutely loved that it didn’t feel like a “typical” catering hall and wanted our guests close to us to during our day. Bob was the best part of choosing this venue. My husband and I hit it off with Bob almost immediately, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and better guidance during the planning process. The vendor package that the Mansion offers was key for us in choosing their recommended vendors which were perfect matches for us. The entire process from the moment we booked all the way to the day of coordination was absolutely seamless. Thank you Bob and staff for providing the most memorable wedding we will cherish forever!

as perfect and beautiful, and they executed our vision exactly as we wanted. The Maitre'd and Bridal Attendant were kind and attentive, they cared about us and the entire wedding party and catered to any request or need we had without us even having to ask. The venue is timeless and cozy, our guests were blown away by the scene and the food. Needless to say, our experience was absolutely amazing and the staff at the Mansion know exactly what they're doing. We couldn't have been happier or asked for a better day!

ng was absolutely perfect and we’ve been told by almost everyone that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! Everyone has raved about the food but even more about the staff and how wonderful they all were. I’m so sad that I won’t get to see Bob every couple months but hope to be back soon! I will be recommending this venue to everyone I know getting married or in need of a wonderful event!

t along. The entire staff made our guests feel like family. The venue is beautiful can't wait to see all the pictures. The food was delicious. Can't say enough good things !

per nice, it made us feel like we made the right choice before the big day. I didn't really feel like we had to worry about anything. Our big day was February 24th and everything went amazing. We used all recommended vendors from the Mansion at West Sayville. They were amazing from the DJ, to the photography, florist, and the desserts, they exceeded our expectation. The food was amazing! We'd like to give a huge shout out to Annemarie and Camille. AnneMarie and Camille seriously made us feel like a king and queen that day anything we needed they were already a few steps ahead. They really made our day. Bob the manger was responsive, great and patient. He was able to answer every single question we asked. The staff was attentive and took care of our guests. My guests had a great experience with the staff. The venue sets up everything. On our big day we did not have to worry about ANYTHING. Everything was taken care of for us. We just showed up and had the time of our life. We are so happy we decided to get married here. Everything came out perfect. There is nothing we would change about our big day. I would definitely recommend the Mansion at West Sayville for anyone looking for a non stressful beautiful wedding. The team is awesome and the location is stunning.

, and Camille our bridal attendant were incredible. It rained unfortunately so our plans to have an outdoor ceremony shifted, but it was a seamless transition. Our guests are still raving about the food and experience. Thank you to Steve, Christine, and Kayla our bartenders, and the entire waitstaff team. All the staff members were so kind and attentive. Highly recommend!! Thank you for making our wedding day perfect.

t feeling too restrictive. Bob was incredibly helpful from our first visit to the wedding day itself. You immediately get a strong sense that the staff is very experienced and knows what they’re doing - so comforting. On the day of, Ann Marie helped coordinate everything. From set up to tear down, she had it all under control and made it so my husband and I could just enjoy the ceremony and reception. I also heard from our guests that the waitstaff was attentive, helpful and friendly. I can’t recommend this team enough and I’m so grateful to have had my wedding here!

ade sure we had everything we needed the entire night. Annemarie was on top of everh detail and made sure the event ran smoothly from start to finish! My guests have been raving about the food and how attentive and nice all of the servers were that night!

aitre D and Camille was my bridal attendant, both were wonderful. Every one of our guests could not stop raving about how much fun they had at our wedding, how beautiful the venue is, and how great the food was. I can’t recommend the Mansion at West Sayville enough!

and he even let me and my bridesmaids get ready in the bridal suite at 8 am the day of, which was something that was promised to me with the original manager we had previously booked with. Bob was very easy to get in touch with during the planning process and even answered my late night emails promptly. Our Maitre’D, Annmarie, was absolutely amazing. She is extremely organized and kept the day running smoothly. She was able to wrangle our bridal parties and families together when needed, and calmed our nerves during the most important parts of the day. The servers and bartenders were all friendly, welcoming and excellent at their jobs. We seriously cannot recommend the Mansion at West Sayville enough!

den gem. The view is incredible and it has such a romantic charm to it. We had the most amazing sunset and everyone kept raving about how beautiful it was. Bob was so easy to work with throughout the process. The night of I had Annmarie as my maitre’d and she was amazing. She ran the show, kept everything in check, and bustled my dress in 3 minutes and it never broke. Camille was our bridal assistant and she is so so sweet. The food was delish, the staff was on top of their game. The bartenders were great too! I was also very particular on how I wanted things set up and was able to go the day before and decorate exactly the way I wanted it to look! It put me at such ease to know that everything was already done with my exact vision. It was truly all perfect

did our first look by the glass conservatory then moved over to the dock. I can't speak highly enough of the staff and honestly I don't know what I would have done without them!! Everyone was a true expert on how to run a smooth wedding day that I did not have to lift a finger. And the food! I had so many guests come up to me gushing about how good the food was and not just the entrees. EVERYTHING. We went with the vendor package and we are so glad we did. This venue knows how to choose it's vendors!!! I was given compliments on every aspect of the wedding from the food, the service, the DJ, the cake. I would 100% book this venue again and again. Thank you so much for being the perfect back drop to my wedding day!!

. This venue really is something else- you have big open windows, the water, the golf course, a greenhouse. You will not regret booking this venue.

mansion with it's beautiful rustic and romantic feel. Throughout all of Covid we never felt taken advantage of and everyone we worked with at the mansion upheld our original contract and agreements. They made the stresses of planning a wedding through Covid very manageable and never caused us to worry. We always felt very taken care of. Everything about our day was perfect. I remember walking into the mansion for the first time on our wedding day and feeling overwhelmed with happiness at how gorgeous the mansion looked and how well everything had come together. Bob was very accommodating with our arrival time in order for us to take pictures prior to our cocktail hour so we could enjoy our entire reception. The mansion grounds are absolutely stunning & we were able to work with the LIMM to take pictures on the docks. We took gorgeous shots by the greenhouse, outside on the lawn during sunset later on in the evening and inside the mansion prior to cocktail hour which allowed us to enjoy our cocktail hour and greet our guests as they arrived. Annemarie was incredible leading up to and on our day. When we arrived, she brought us up to the bridal suite and made sure we had everything we needed. The day went so smoothly because of her, and she is always right there taking care of anything you need and is always one step ahead, which is what you need on your wedding day! Our guests enjoyed the gorgeous outdoor cocktail hour, with it's beautiful views of the Great South Bay (it also helped we had a great day in terms of weather in June). The food and drinks were fantastic and everyone had such a good time dancing and celebrating throughout the night. We are so grateful to everyone at the mansion for helping us create our perfect wedding day.

walk through with Ann-Marie, we knew we were in well held hands. The staff is efficient, so kind, and incredible at getting everything done with ease and grace. Ann-Marie was by my side whenever I needed her on the night of the wedding, was patient and kept us in the loop. She is an absolute rockstar. Special shout-out to Jojo as well for absolutely crushing our decor - she turned my vision into a reality. I’ve heard from so many of our guests saying how beautiful the venue was, how great the food was, and how stunning the ceremony was out on the lawn of the golf green. They said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. I agree with them all! Honestly - if you’re thinking about hosting your wedding here, don’t think twice. Book it now, you will NOT regret it!!! I cannot say enough about our day and how absolutely PERFECT it was. One note of warning… you’re going to want to have a wedding every weekend after you host at the Mansion at West Sayville. 😉

ger Matt Perez truly went above and beyond for us. There was never a second my husband or I were without food or a drink provided by the staff. They catered to us every second of the night! The food is beyond delicious, and all of our guests raved about the cocktail hour. Annemarie has been here for a long time and it honestly felt like she was family. She took such good care of me all night! Matt really helped us out during the pandemic. It was a smooth process to postpone our first reception date to the new one. When the guidelines were loosening up he went through every step with us and kept us updated about changing protocols. We had to wear masks but we were able to dance and truly had an amazing time, it didn't even feel like COVID was a thing anymore. He went out of his way to provide us with things that we didn't even expect. He's really wonderful to work with. You will be blown away with the gorgeous second room for dancing that has an amazing view of the South Bay. Do yourself a favor and check this venue out! Soooooo underrated.

he pandemic and worked with us to provide us with a dream wedding. The food was fantastic and all of our guests couldn't believe the amount and quality of food!
