Sea Cliff Manor

eduling the date seamless and painless. We were not held to our original guest count and they were compassionate and flexible throughout the entire planning process for the new date. We were married this past Sunday, Nov 1st in what was close to a Nor'Easter so our dreams of having our cocktail hour outside on their beautiful grounds did not happen but they did an amazing job setting up a comfortable and spacious cocktail hour inside and easily transitioned within minutes to prepare the dance floor for our intros and 1st dance. Ian's attention to every detail, keeping us posted about all of the activities on our timeline as well as the very attentive wait staff, helped to put us at ease so we could sit back and enjoy our special day. The food was outstanding and all of our guests could not stop saying how delicious the food was and what a gorgeous venue it was. Our only disappointment was that the day was over so fast; we would love to go back to the Sea Cliff Manor and do it all over again!

sonably priced and don't have a bunch of hidden fees. And the food isn't wedding food like you normally get, the food is actually awesome haha. They always answer in a timely manner and are very easy to get in touch with. Would highly recommend them, they become like family!

d the location cannot be beat! The entire staff is wonderfully friendly and incredibly hardworking!! They all worked tirelessly to make our day so very special!! And the food was out of this world!!! Absolutely Delicious!! Thank you, Nick and Ian and the entire Sea Cliff Manor staff for being so amazing and making our daughter's wedding even more lovely than we could ever imagine!

liff Manor. During a time where most of our other engaged friends were dealing with nightmare postponement stories. We were greeted with nothing but positive reinforcement the venue bending over backwards to keep us happy. Almost every guest relayed to me just how fantastic the staff was. I wanted to note a few very specific instances where the staff deserves to be recognized: - Ian, the maître d’, is a dream to work with. He is truly a beautiful person inside and out and cares so much about making your day special. Everything is run perfectly to the minute. We trusted him along every step of the way. It’s impossible to plan every single detail for your wedding, but just know that Ian already has. We had forgotten to cover a Mic for our Officiant and in 30 seconds Ian had it covered. This is just one of the many moments throughout the day where the stress is completely removed from your shoulders. We never fully understood how much time, effort and detail goes into an event like this. Ian understands this to a science and it shows. - The owner of the establishment, Nick, couldn’t have been more personable and caring. He showed up the day of our Wedding to wish us congratulations and had tears in his eyes right before I walked down the Aisle. Everyone is family at Sea Cliff Manor. - The Bridal Attendant, Camille, was next to me every step of the way. She made sure that we ate food and always put a drink our hands. She should be called a “Wedding Attendant” with the amount of care and attention she gave my husband as well. She helped me during the rain all with a smile on her face. Her personality truly showed in how she handled all of the small details with grace. - It rained a lot on my wedding day and it had ZERO affect on the beauty of the day and venue. The staff all held four umbrellas over me so I wouldn’t get wet walking down the aisle. They made me laugh the whole time and created such a memorable moment. Not only did they help me, but the entire wedding party was escorted with umbrellas through the rain. - Their service was OFF THE CHARTS. At all times they were hustling to serve the guests with a big smile on their faces. - For most events that you attend, the Wedding staff is relied on to keep the party going. At the Sea Cliff Manor you can rely on them to enhance your day from arrival to departure - My wedding was a party that led to some broken glasses. They literally danced their way through cleaning it up and showed no signs of getting upset - I learned that the hiring process is extremely caring and thought out. Each person is hand picked to compliment the utmost professionalism and charm. I had some time to speak with the staff, who all relayed that they love working at Sea Cliff Manor. It is such a wonderful environment and I feel blessed to have shared my wedding day there. The venue speaks for itself with the beauty and class both inside and out. On a personal note, the Speakeasy really hits home for two bourbon lovers. In the end you will of course pick your own venue to host your beautiful and memorable day. Just know that if you choose Sea Cliff Manor, you have made the best decision of your life.

ll of creative ideas, and we are forever grateful that you shared all of that with us! My favorite part, the menu development, the way you set up the reception area, how you repurposed our flowers, and the set up of our memorial photos and "treats" table from our dog- Everything was perfect! You took my (our lol) vision and made it come to life in the greatest way possible. I have a new appreciation and... passion for weddings now! Can't I just come back next Friday and redo it all? Camille, I did not know what to expect when Ian told me I'd be given a bridal attendant. I didn't think I'd need the help, but you were everything I could have wished for and more. I kept telling you to take a break, to relax, but you were right there with me the entire night! You were extremely attentive and had so many great ideas during our photo time. Thank you so much for making sure I always had a full cup (of lemon water)! Brian also couldn't stop raving about how well you took care of him. You brought him beers and alternated his beer orders with water. We are so appreciative. You kept us happy and prioritized the entire night. You were a huge part of making our day so special. To the waitstaff, bartenders, chefs, and anyone else behind the scenes: You guys are part of a wonderful operation at Sea Cliff Manor. Your kindness, creativity, knowledge, and dedication to our event are all greatly appreciated. I wish there was another reason for me to throw a party there... TBD!

w they treated their brides during COVID, and Sea Cliff Manor stood behind us through and through. They treat you like family and I couldn’t be more thankful and honored of having my wedding hosted at their venue. We looked at about 11 different venues and Sea Cliff was the last one we looked it. Words cannot explain how absolutely breathtaking this venue is - located on the Long Island Sound and even on the gloomiest days, this venue is absolutely magical. With bay windows that surround the reception and dining room with water views, beautiful bridal/grooms suite overlooking the water and cocktail hour area. This was the ONLY venue that sent us a sweet Thank You note (still hanging on our fridge) and I knew this was the venue for us! It’s not your typical run of the mill wedding hall, it’s quaint, enchanting and romantic. You’re the only wedding that’s hosted that day and that made me feel more at ease. The staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND (I threw in more money for their gratuity with their white glove service). Their maitre’d, Ian, is a real class act! Ian made the wedding planning so easy that I didn’t even need a wedding coordinator! HE DOES EVERYTHING! My husband only drinks Proper Twelve Whiskey and Ian went out of the way to make sure we had this for one of our Signature Drinks. We also had a bridal attendant, Camille, who was SO ATTENTIVE! Also making sure there was a drink and food in hand. Wiping sweat of my husbands forehead af time, lol! Camille was with us every step of the way. She fluffed my dress right before walking down the aisle and helped with all the first look photos, bridal photos and family photos (holding my dress and all!) The food was outstanding and everything is cooked on the spot! All the food that we experienced at our tasting was exactly what we received during our wedding, that includes presentation, taste - you name it! The food presentation during cocktail hour was insane and ALL of our family and friends from out-of-state and locally raved about the detail of each cocktail hour station and passed hor’s devours (my favorite was the mini taco with patron margaritas - pics below!) The day after our wedding, we picked up our decor that was already packed and ready for us. I cried like a baby because of how beautiful and smooth everything went and did not want things to end. When we were leaving, Ian said, “ you both are family now and on your one year anniversary, come back and we will do something special for you.”

to relocate and reconsider our wedding plans. Nick made this process painless and we are extremely grateful!

d I agreed, that we truly had the best celebration a newly wed couple could ever ask for! starting from the preparation, exceptional food, top notch accommodation of guests, outstanding cocktail hour up until our main reception. Despite of the covid- crisis, Sea Cliff Manor helped us achieve the best and safest party, Indeed, it was one of the best night of our lives! To Ian, Camille, Nick, Donna and to all your staff/crew, we are beyond grateful for all your assistance, flexibility and time you've put in to help us pull through a great wedding reception! In behalf of our families, thank you so much for everything. We will miss our quick visits to Sea Cliff Manor. Overall, we are extremely happy with the outcome! More power to you guys!

day went extremely smooth and the venue itself is absolutely stunning. We got married during the pandemic and weren’t able to do a food tasting, but that did not matter at all. The food was AMAZING! We highly recommend Sea Cliff Manor!

tely stunning and the food was to die for! Ian and Nick were super helpful and met all of our requests and needs! The entire event from planning it to making it go off without a hitch went perfectly and I couldn't have asked for more.

t take long to sign off, making it official that we'd be spending our wedding day at the Manor. 2020 has been a wild year for everyone, us included. We were initially supposed to have our wedding 7/31/2020. Like most couples, our wedding was pushed back. We quickly met with Nick and Ian who gave us multiple options. They worked with us as well as anyone possibly could have. We were fortunate, and were able to find a date in September that worked. With such short notice we were worried that the Manor would be running around, trying to piece together a wedding during these trying times. It was the complete opposite. Ian calmed us down, told us he had everything in order, and he was right. From the obscure beer we wanted, to the decorations, to the social distancing needs, Ian had it under control and outperformed himself. The day of the wedding went as smooth as it could have. Ian handled the groomsmen (who aren't the easiest group of guys) with ease, while Camille did a phenomenal job at taking care of my wife to be and her wedding party. The ceremony was gorgeous, the reception was over the top fun, it was a perfect day. Nick sold us early on on the food. Seeing that he carried some of his mother's recipes into the Manor made it feel special, and the food did not disappoint. The cocktail hour had so many cool and different choices, while the sit down dinner was phenomenal. We had many guests tell us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. These times are scary, but Ian made sure the wedding went off without a hitch, socially distancing rules and all. If you're looking for a venue that doesn't feel like a wedding factory, one where your treated like family, where the food is excellent, and you have a full view of the Long Island Sound, go with the Sea Cliff Manor. We can't thank Nick, Ian, Donna, Camille, and everyone else at the Manor enough for making our day as special and memorable as can be.

estions or needed advice. He was with us every step of the way. The food was fresh and delicious. Ian and the bridal attendant made sure that we tried everything and had time to eat throughout the night. I can go on and on!!

from beginning to end and honestly our wedding was memorable because of Ian and the wonderful people at sea cliff.

Nick, Ian, Camille, and the rest of the staff absolutely went above and beyond. We have heard from multiple friends that our wedding had the absolute best food that they had ever had at a wedding. I cannot thank Sea Cliff Manor enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

matrie D was amazing and helped us throughout the night as well as my Bridal attendant and the staff!!! If you are looking for a beautiful romantic venue you have found it!!!! Look no more because you can’t beat The Sea Cliff Manor!

atballs for cocktail hour were crazy good!). The staff was amazing and attentive! The location was beautiful! All our guests kept talking about the food and location. We had our wedding and reception outside and the outside reception was awesome!!! It feels as though you’re at an intimate backyard wedding. I live this venue and will definitely use it again for future events (maybe a baby shower soon? Haha).

be our venue. From day one they have been accommodating, friendly, and professional. Ian and Nick gracefully dealt with my overprotective parents, making the situation stress-free. The servers and bartenders were loved by my family (shout outs to Bill and Christian). And THE FOOD! There was not a mediocre thing we ate and the presentation was beautiful. Camille, the bridal attendant, was an absolute angel when my stomach was hurting. She was on top of everything we could have needed and more. Ian, who was super organized and together, was also super fun! From sending me pump up emails a few days prior to surprising us with a ginormous charcuterie board and Prosecco to allowing us to bring our dog into the bridal suite before the ceremony, he went above and beyond at EVERY step. Nick, the owner, was so easy to talk to, positive, and flexible (which was particularly appreciated during the pandemic). We couldn’t have had a better wedding day! If you are looking for an all-around quality venue at a reasonable price, Sea Cliff is it.

ou Nick for being understanding and accommodating, especially during the pandemic. We had to change our original wedding date but it didn’t feel so upsetting since Nick looked out for us and we got an even better wedding date. We truly felt like VIPs during our interactions and encounters. Thank you Ian for taking us under your wing and making sure we were well taken care of and didn’t have a worry in our minds. You communicated with us every step of the way and gave such great ideas as well. You made our friends and families feel at ease too. I brought a whole myriad of decorations and had a wedding vision that you made come true to life! Thank you to Camille and all the staff at Sea Cliff Manor for making our special day so beautiful. Many guests said that the service was effortless and they felt well treated. Thank you to the chef and all the vendors for the amazing food! I wanted samosas and got such delectable samosas! The fact we were able to get an Indian station during the cocktail hour was great. We had a lovely dinner too, the guests still continue to tell me about how much they enjoyed the food and that their stomachs were so full. My husband loved his steak and I loved my salmon. The Parmesan chicken was so scrumptious, even my picky father approved! All of the pastry variety mix and cookies were sweet and the perfect end to an even more perfect night. We look forward to coming back to celebrate more events in our lives at Sea Cliff Manor as we move forward as husband and wife!

process so far. We are excited for what’s in store! Also, the food is amazing here, you really couldn’t ask for more under one roof. It is early in the process but they have gained my confidence and trust early on. I know our day will be exception. They truly make you feel like family, take the time to sit and explain things thoroughly, and are flexible based on your budget and needs. We are elated- thank you Sea Cliff Manor!

good. Nick is a sweet heart and Ian is great and does and incredible job of managing the weddings. I want to give him a big hug for making my day so special. My husband and I are both Salvadorian and they were able to get Horchata for our speciality drink and it was delicious! They were able to customize one of the cocktail hour stations! I had the best day despite the weather being so cold I would chose it over and over again! I definitely recommend Sea Cliff Manor! They are not a wedding factory they are detail orientated with an incredible team! Love you guys 😘

s the venue for you. Ian, Nick, Kameel and all the personnel that work at this place are amazing. One of the most important things for a wedding that everyone will remember is FOOD. This place has the best food ever and not the standard catering not so tasteful menus many venues offer nowadays. This is the place to go if you are looking for a small unforgettable wedding. Sea Cliff Manor makes everything perfect and they make you feel like the most important couple in the world. I do not have enough words to say thank you and express how happy we are 😁

the very last guest left that night. Their attention to detail, flexibility and suggestions were extremely valuable in shaping our experience. The room looked absolutely beautiful, the set up was fluid and spacious for all our guests and our large and rocking band, the view of the harbor was outstanding, and the food was above and beyond our expectations. We really felt as if they were a part of the wedding, right there with us throughout, being so much more than just a vendor. We highly recommend them to anyone considering the night of their lives. A+

steak served during reception followed by the apple pie for dessert! Our guests couldn’t get enough! We wanted everyone attending happy and fed and Sea Cliff Manor did it all! We even had a send off Coney Island station for when guests were leaving the wedding to keep their bellies full! Nick worked with me when we were booking this venue and he is not only flexible and accommodating with your vision but he’s just as excited as you when discussing stations and how your night will be. Ian is AMAZING and patient with every question you have up to the day of your wedding. He gets back to you as soon as possible, loves his job and follows through on his word.The staff is beyond professional and personal. I was able to decorate using candelabras as our main centerpiece and let me tell you Ian nailed every detail that was needed to make this day happen! I can’t wait to get our professional pictures back! Sea Cliff Manor is a hidden gem and we are so thrilled that we were able to have our beautiful wedding here! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for great food, beautiful scenery and wanting to work with humble professionals. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you Sea Cliff Manor for making our day a dream come true! We are forever grateful.

never felt rushed at any of our meetings. Ian has a sharp attention for detail and the day of the wedding the space was set up exactly as I imagined it. Throughout the night guests were coming up to me and saying how fun, friendly, and helpful the wait/bar staff was, that the food was great, and the room was beautiful- everything ran so smoothly and like clockwork. At the end of the night I actually opened up the tip envelopes to add more because I was so impressed with everything! I love that Sea Cliff Manor only hosts one event at a time because they really made us (and our families) feel like royalty for the day. I keep getting messages from guests saying it was one of the best weddings, if not the best, they had ever been to and raving about the food. If I could relive the night over again I would 100 times!
