About This Vendor
Historic Waterfront Mansion on the Water
One of the Long Island's most unique wedding and event venues is The Sea Cliff Manor, a place where tradition meets art in an awe-inspiring water view setting. Our historic waterfront mansion is the perfect choice for the couple who wants their wedding celebration to really stand out from the pack. Your guests will have the exclusive enjoyment of the mansion and its seafront gardens, as we do only one event at a time. Sea Cliff Manor is where Old World tradition meets modern elegance. Sea Cliff Manor’s beautiful outdoor garden veranda overlooking the Long Island Sound is the most romantic backdrop for the wedding ceremony or an “al fresco” cocktail hour, while you and your guests gaze on Sea Cliff's breathtaking sunsets.
