I have been working in the wedding industry for seven years and have worked at just about every venue on Long Island except Swan Lake Caterers. I was blown away by this gem of a venue. I need everyone on Long Island to know about this amazing staff and venue.
The venue was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, the experience was enhanced by the outstanding staff.
Mary, our bridal attendant, was a true gem—her attentiveness and kindness ensured that everything ran smoothly and that I felt pampered and supported throughout the day. My husband and I were so impressed with her. She was hands down the best bridal attendant I have ever worked with.
Elaina, the maitre’d, AMAZING. I was a DIY bride and she helped us execute my vision seamlessly. She managed the flow of the event with incredible grace and efficiency, making sure every detail was perfect and our guests were well taken care of.
Sophia, the sales manager, I can’t say enough about her and the absolute pleasure it was working with her. She was instrumental in making the planning process seamless; her expertise and enthusiasm were invaluable. She was so flexible, kind and just a genuine soul.
The food was another highlight of our celebration. Every dish was not only beautifully presented but also delicious, with flavors that left our guests raving. The combination of an amazing venue, exceptional staff, and delectable cuisine made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking to create a memorable and flawless event.

We searched all over Long Island for a down to earth, indoor/outdoor, authentic venue for an affordable price. When we met with Sophia after touring other venues in the area, we knew it was the one for us with a party tent and beautiful golf course backdrop. We had the same 3 goals: a fun party with incredible food, drinks and dancing. All the meetings leading up to the wedding we knew we were in the best hands with an amazing team that is so thorough and accommodating. Elena made our dreams come to life with an affordable decor package and even bought more decor to match my bouquet. Mary the bridal attendant spent so much time by our side taking photos and bringing us any food or drinks we needed all night. Charlie is an extremely talented chef and prepared meals at home for guests with severe allergies. The food was delicious with so many options for everyone and we got to have 3 signature cocktails (lavender lemonade mojito, Guinness, Aperol spritz). When a big thunderstorm showed up on the radar at the last minute, we felt very comfortable trusting this team to move the dinner inside and the party did not miss a beat. We also booked High Voltage and Capture the Moment which are their in house recommended DJ and photographers, and we are SO happy that we did because they are experts on the best photo spots and work together so well as a team. This venue is a hidden gem on Long Island and was incredible for our wedding day!

From start to finish, the whole Swan Lake team was a joy to work with. Sophia was thorough and responsive from our first visit and tour until our big day. Elena, the maitre d', and Mary, the bridal attendant, were so helpful the day of and everything ran so smoothly. Given how nervous we were planning and the day of our wedding, they made a stressful day relatively stress free.
Swan Lake has a beautiful location and we hoped to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside but our day turned rainy and cold. Pivoting to indoors was easy and the venue looked lovely and the cocktail hour became more intimate as a result. The big windows in the reception hall gave us a beautiful view of the outdoors which was perfect for our ceremony.
Swan Lake had the most robust and varied menu offerings of the venues we researched and visited. Everything we tried at our tasting was delicious. More importantly: it was just as good at our reception and we've heard rave reviews from our guests.
We chose the all inclusive package (dj and photography included) and selected several of their other preferred vendors. We are very happy we did. Nothing about the experience felt cookie cutter and it was much less stressful than it might have been otherwise.
Thank you, Swan Lake!!!!

Swan Lake helped to make my wedding a dream! From start to finish they were accommodating and constantly checking in to make sure everything was going how we wanted. Sophia made all the prep work a breeze making time to always answer questions and met whenever we could. The wedding day went perfectly! They were able to switch on the spot based on our guests needs. They even sent out someone for a certain alcohol that was requested right as cocktail hour was starting! We got countless compliments about the bartenders, the waitstaff, chef, and Sophia, All our guests said at least one if not more staff members checked in with them personally to make sure everything was too their liking. The food was incredible and we got so many compliments on it especially with the seconds they come around with! We have not stopped hearing how perfect the wedding was and that it was one of everyones favorite weddings they attended. I would recommend Swan Lake and their wedding package vendors to everyone!

My husband and I got married at Swan Lake Caterers on February 2nd, 2024. I can’t rave enough about this place! Initially I was interested in Swan Lake after hearing about their affordable pricing. Little did I know that I was going to fall in love with every aspect of this venue. They offer incredible packages. My husband and I booked the decor package with Elena. Since I did a lot of DIY projects for my wedding, it was incredible not having to stress about decorating the venue/creating centerpieces. Elena did an amazing job making sure the venue incorporated our color scheme. Everything was perfect and absolutely beautiful! The food is out of this world! Charlie is incredibly passionate about his cooking, and it shows! I was adamant about having delicious food at my wedding, and Charlie did not disappoint! The staff exceeded our expectations! During the planning process, they were more than accomodating in every way. As we got closer to our wedding day, and the more meetings we had, they began to feel like family. The day of our wedding, my strap broke on my wedding dress and my bridal attendant (Mary) sewed my strap for me and got me back on the dance floor in no time! It lasted all night!

My name is Taryn. My wife Brittany & I were married at Swan Lake 9/22/23. Now that the wedding brain has subsided (lol) I can finally sit with a clear head, & truly express how thankful Brittany & I are for the amazing & perfect experience we had at Swan Lake, and just how perfect our Wedding Day truly was. Apologies in advance for the novel, but it’s completely necessary!
From moment one, the entire staff at Swan Lake was beyond kind & accommodating. We had our first consult with Sophia, and it took us all of a few days to know Swan Lake was our place. Sophia quickly became my right hand through the entire planning process. Every phone call, email & visit (because there were MANY) was easy AND fun! Every expectation was met, & every question answered promptly. Sophia helped me troubleshoot & sort out so many projects along the way.
I don’t think I was a difficult bride, but to say that I was ambitious might be an understatement. When it came to Wedding Day, there was a tremendous amount to accomplish. My decorations were definitely a handful; lighting everywhere, draping cascading from the ceiling, many different centerpieces, three signature cocktails, multiple favor type items… it was endless. It took a LOT to put together & to say I was nervous doesn’t come close. Every, Single. Thing— was pulled off BEAUTIFULLY. I was blown away by the amount of creativity, help & support Sophia & the staff brought that day. I am eternally grateful.
As the party was set in motion I must have been told 100+ times how great the food & drinks were. Charlie crafted the most beautiful endless ‘cocktail hour’ spread, (we did not do a sit down dinner service… best idea EVER) which ultimately just continued & morphed into delicious station after delicious station. We had an epic dessert assortment where everyone found something they loved! Charlie, thank you. Your attention to detail & love of food and feeding people is unmatched!
Elena came in for the evening hours to relieve Sophia. Elena was INCREDIBLE. I cannot tell you, this woman is on top of it. She made sure that everything was completely seamless & that I was kept in the loop all night, but also able to enjoy myself. She made sure that the massive breakdown went as smoothly as possible & that our night ended beyond successfully. Elena, you are the BOMB.
Last but certainly not least, Mary. Mary, my bridal attendant, was the kindest, sweetest, most attentive & helpful human I may have ever met. This girl must have asked me 100+ times if I needed anything. I’m pretty sure she brought me a dozen drinks (as I couldn’t keep track of mine to save the world), she packed up a little bit of all of the food & sent us home with a great morning after smorgasbord! My lipstick & phone was always within reach & my dress was always right where it was supposed to be! Mary– I was thinking about you, so thankful, eating mashed sweet potatoes at 4am hahaha. Thank you forever.
Swan Lake & all of your staff– administrators, servers, bartenders, chefs, helping hands & everyone in between… Thank you for making our Wedding Day everything we ever wanted it to be. Thank you for all of the support & all of the compliments because it wouldn’t have been possible without each & every one of you. I said it already, but I will be back! I wouldn’t hesitate holding another event here in the future & I will always think of ya’ll as family. Brittany & I are eternally thankful, we love you all!

Had my wedding here! Absolutely loved every part of this venue!
From the very first meeting, we knew this would be the best place.
The staff here were so so accommodating it was unreal.
We made a last minute change (three days before the wedding yikes) to the color and decor the venue provided, and they said it was no problem at all and made our dreams come true!
The chef, Charlie, was absolutely amazing. We had 50% vegan wedding and the guests RAVED about the vegan selections!
Sophia was our main point of contact the entire time of planning. We could not ask for a better person to have worked with!
10/10 venue!

My husband and I got married at Swan Lake Caterers this past weekend. From start to finish, this has been the best experience of my life! The staff at Swan Lake was extremely knowledgeable, organized, accommodating and kind. The grounds are breathtaking for photos and an outdoor ceremony. We had an outdoor cocktail hour as well which was under a beautiful tent. Not to mention, this venue is more affordable than majority of the others on Long Island. To start, Sophia handled all things planning. She was extremely helpful and quick to answer all texts, calls, and emails (no matter the time of day). She always made us feel welcome and I literally referred to her as bestie on the day of lol. Next up, Charlie! He is the fabulous chef and creative mind behind all things food at Swan Lake. My fiancé and I actually chose Swan Lake because of their extensive vegan options— something that you will not find at other venues. Charlie helped us curate a perfect menu with options for all guests. From cocktail hour all the way through to dessert, we received so many compliments on the beyond delicious food. When we told Charlie we wanted something different for our dinner, he literally made us a tray of the most amazing vegan lasagna I’ve ever had! During dinner, he came out of the kitchen to speak to each table individually and offer them seconds, which many people took as the food was phenomenal. The only complaint I have about the food is that I can’t have it every day! When I came back to the venue following our wedding day, I literally asked if they had any leftovers from cocktail hour because it was THAT GOOD. Up next we have the amazing duo at Swan Lake who made our day run seamlessly— Elena and Mary. Elena was the maitre’d and she also does their decor package (beautifully if I may add), and Mary was my bridal attendant. Elena made sure everything flowed and took care of any issues that would arise or questions I had. Mary literally ran around with me the entire night, kept me fed and got me all the drinks I needed, and most importantly tried tailoring my dress 50x when the bustle kept failing. Elena and Mary were so kind and accommodating, by the end of the night I deemed them honorary aunties to my future children lol. Additionally, the waitstaff and bartenders were extremely attentive and helpful throughout the entire night. Last but not least, you need to book with their preferred vendors, High Voltage Entertainment for DJ/MC and Capture the Moment for photography. Multiple people raved about how this was the best wedding they had ever been to and I think it is because of the amazing team at Swan Lake and their preferred vendors. If you don’t book here, you’re missing out! Trying to figure out what event I can have at Swan Lake next!

We got married Sat Aug 26 and I absolutely MUST give a shout out to Swan Lake Caterers in Manorville and all of my vendors.

Swan Lake Caterers was beyond the best! We had an outdoor ceremony with a tented reception and it was the wedding of our dreams. From the food, to the location, to the incredibly helpful and sweet service- if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. (although let's hope this is our first and only wedding) We had a slightly less traditional styled wedding and they accompanied every request stunningly. Forever in awe of how seamlessly the day went by and will always hold a special place in my heart for Swan Lake.

My partner and I recently had a wedding here, and we couldn't be happier with how things turned out. This was the first place we toured, and we initially met with Charlie, whose sweet demenour and genuine passion for the job is immediately apparent. We fell in love with the landscape facilities, and couldn't find anything we liked more (after touring 7 other places). After setting a date and moving forward with the process, both Elena and Sophia were there whenever we needed them, and were eager to help out with all aspects of the planning.
During our special day, everything was laid out as planned, and the place looked wonderful. My guests made numerous positive comments about the beautiful landscape, look of the rooms, quality of the arraignments and decorations, the large bar selection, and even the cleanliness of the bathrooms. And, going back to Charlie and his passion for cooking... our guests loved all of the food, and our guests with dietary preferences loved the vegetarian and vegan dishes. And we also greatly appreciated Jill, the bridal attendant, who worked her butt off, was always there to help with anything and everything, and was so kind and thoughtful throughout (e.g., my water glass was never empty).
Overall, our day was perfect, and we highly recommend working with Charlie, Elena, Sophia, and Jill. The rest of the wait staff were also courteous and prompt, and all were very nice and helpful if anyone had questions. We highly recommend Swan Lake for anyone looking for a beautiful and easy to work with venue, and we will forever be thankful to everyone who helped make our wedding day be so special. Thanks again and again.

We just got married this past Saturday 5/20 at Swan Lake Caterers in Manorville, NY. I just wanted to say they are amazing! They have made this whole process so much easier and smoother. From the moment you walk in they treat you like family instead of just another number like other venues. They are reliable and easy to contact. They answered all our questions through the last 1.5 years of planning and they were also constantly checking in. They made our dreams a reality. And even though it rained they made it beautiful! The grounds and golf course are beautiful!! Elena, Anthony, Sophia and Charlie are amazing and wonderful people to work with. The food was amazing and our family and guests loved everything. Elena was very accommodating and worked with us every step of the way to make sure our vision came true. Anthony was always available and solved any issues that came up. Charlie, who is also the chef had great food options with lots of variety. If you have anything in mind he works with you to incorporate into the menu. Sophia is always bubbly and available to answer any questions right away. Overall everyone is incredible and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them! P.S they are also super dog friendly which was a big factor for us. When booking with them there is also a package available with photographer and DJ. They are amazing as well! You can’t go wrong choosing them.

Swan Lake is the best! From our initial planning meeting to the whole day of our wedding, everyone involved was so kind, informative, flexible and made the whole process and whole day so easy! Sophia is so easy to work with, and Elaina and Mary were so kind and attentive all throughout the wedding. So many guests were raving about how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was and how kind the staff was. We had the best day!

We wanted a rustic themed wedding and they had exactly what we wanted in a venue! Charlie was the one who showed us everything at our initial meeting and he sold us right on the spot. You could tell how much he cared and how passionate he was about his job. Throughout the whole process, Sophia was absolutely amazing and made sure we had everything we wanted. And for the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly and the staff made sure we were fed, had drinks in our hands at all times and got us whatever we needed. They truly have such a great team on their hands! They even made sure our guests were happy with everything and even brought a whole tray of hors d'oeuvres to my parents so they could get a taste of everything! Most brides are worried about how the food and drinks are and I’m happy to say that all our guests raved about how great everything turned out!

Swan Lake is the absolute best! From our very first meeting with Sophia I had a good feeling about this place. First, the venue looks new and is very beautiful. It is kept very nicely decorated and is changed seasonally. The food was great and all of our guests had great things to say about it. We opted to do our ceremony inside, cocktail hour outside and reception inside. We used a tent outside which was beautiful. We ended up having a 70 degree day in November, but we did opt to have heaters in the tent in case we needed them.
The greatest part about swan lake was the staff. We worked with Sophia throughout the entire process and she is the absolute best. I never felt nervous or unsure of anything in regards to my wedding day because I just felt like Sophia took her job seriously and wouldn’t let my wedding day be anything less than perfect. She was honest, sweet and personable and I never felt like she was trying to get us to spend more money, etc.
Elena was our maitre d who was also amazing. She made sure our guests were well taken care of, swooped in to help cut our wedding cake when my husband and I were trying to cut through it a little too aggressively (whoops) and decorated the venue beautifully. She was also super kind, attentive and easy to work with.
My bridal attendant was Mary and she was also amazing. She was by my side whenever I needed her asking if I needed a drink or anything. She walked around the venue with our photographer to make sure my dress/vail was perfect in all of our pictures. She did a really great job and was incredibly sweet.
Swan lake was the perfect venue for our wedding size (111 people) and a 7 piece band. I’ve heard but great things from our friends and family and I have absolutely zero complaints. Even when we went to the venue the next day to pick up our stuff, everything was packed up neatly and ready to go for us.
I would highly recommend swan lake for your event.

We had our wedding this past September and I cannot thank Swan Lake Caterers enough for the amazing they job they did. It was literally perfect and everything we expected, even more. The whole staff there is amazing and goes above and beyond for you. From the first step I took into the venue and meeting Sophia I knew this was the place I would have my wedding. She is so bubbly, kind, welcoming and she was really excited for my wedding. She was responsive to every email and call I sent her and it was so smooth working with her. When she showed me the venue it was truly beautiful. It is simple and elegant. We then did our food tasting with Charlie, who also was our officiant. My husband is Indian so we were looking for an Indian dish to substitue for the veggie dish. Charlie said he worked on this for months perfecting this dish and literally everyone at the wedding raved about it and how it was better than any Indian restaurant they have ever been to! All the other food was absolutely amazing as well!! He also was our officiant and he really put time and effort into our ceremony and it was beautifully written. He even came around to cocktail hour to talk to our guests about the food and what they liked. He takes pride in his work and cares about people! We are so glad we choose Charlie to officiate!
Elaina was my Maitre d and Jill was my bridal attendant and both did an amazing job! I gave Elaine all my decorations a few days before and told her how the wedding is suppose to go and she set up all the tables beautifully and exactly how we wanted. She helped coordinate my 20 person bridal party and the wedding went so smooth with the help of her. She did an excellent job and was also so easy to work with! Jill helped me through the whole day and was with me from when I arrived to the end of the night. She helped me with my dress, flowers, buttons, pictures and anything else you think of! Im so grateful for her because my bridesmaids and maid of honor were able to enjoy themselves the rest of night. She made us plates at cocktail hour and always made sure if I needed a drink. I loved that about her! All the other staff were so nice as well! I can absolutely say Swan Lake is one of the best wedding venues on LI. They are not trying to push out weddings and make money they actually care, take pride in what they do and there prices are very fair compared to other venues on LI. They have a great bar too!! Also, all their vendor staff that they recommend like CTM, high voltage and frank and sons bakery are the best as well!! Everyone loved our cake, our DJ/MC was fire and pictures came out breathtaking!! I am so thankful for Swan Lake and they deserve 1000 stars if I could give them that much. I wish i could relive my wedding day it was so perfect! Thank you again everyone at Swan Lake for a beautiful wedding!!

I don’t even know where to start with how grateful we are that we chose Swan lake as our venue. When I first started calling venues last year to set up tours, it was about 7-8pm so a lot of places I either got their voicemail or was sort of rushed off the phone after making an appointment. Swan lake I left a voicemail. I got a call back from them about 15 minutes later and spoke with Anthony. He was so interested and excited about us coming to tour and right away I had a great feeling about it. After touring and seeing how beautiful the venue is, we sat down with Charlie who gave us his full attention and was very enthusiastic about the possibility of us getting married there. We ended up booking our date right away with them! It was supposed to be 11/27/2021. Unfortunately I was in a terrible car accident that left me wheelchair bound for 3+ months, 17 days before the wedding!! My mom spoke with the venue to tell them about it and they were all very sympathetic and understanding about me not being able to have the wedding that day! Charlie and Sophia sent me numerous emails checking in to see how I was doing! When it was time to book my new date, Charlie offered me a handful of fall dates for this year (2022) and we chose 11/4/22. The whole team was amazing the whole planning process ! They all showed so much interest and were very easy going any time I needed to make a change. They were amazing with our 6 year old who can be alittle hyper some times ! Some meetings we had to bring him, and Elena or Sophia if they were not busy, would take him for a walk to the bar area with lots of snacks and drinks! Or just to walk around the venue to look at the beautiful scenery. The day of our wedding was perfect !! I was treated like a queen by everyone, My bridal attendant Jill was amazing and always there when I needed anything. Elena was amazing taking care of setting everything up, and always checking in on me to make sure I am doing okay and I don’t need anything. I never had to look for anyone to get help because someone was always right there ! The food was unbelievable!! Charlie does all the cooking himself. I was Able to cut my steak with a fork!! After dinner Charlie went around with all extra of everything in the menu to see if anyone wanted seconds, or to try anything new ! For cocktail hour there is an abundance of food stations to chose from and they are all so unique and delicious! After the wedding I got so much feedback. People were raving about the food, service , music, and the venue it’s self. Everyone said it was the best food options they have ever had at a wedding . They couldn’t believe how great everything was from cocktail hour right down to the cake! Also everyone was telling me how amazing the service was. Their napkins were folded anytime they got up from the table, dirty plates were cleared immediately, and there was always someone near by if anyone needed something. Being it was November the trees looked beautiful, and all the guests were loving how beautiful the whole place was! It’s almost two weeks after the wedding, and I am still getting messages about how amazing it was. People keep saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to!! Not a day goes by I regrets using swan lake for our wedding!!!

Couldn't ask for a better day! The food was absolutely amazing. I had a fully vegan wedding and even though I didn't get to try a lot of the food because I was speaking to guests they all said it was delicious! The staff are excellent at what they do and went above and beyond! I would recommend this venue to everyone I know! Thank you so much to the staff at Swan Lake Caterers for making my day perfect!

My new hubby and I got married on 10/9/22 at Swan Lake Caterers. They were absolutely AMAZING and I don’t even know where to start with the praise and admiration!!!!
Let’s talk about the ambiance of the venue. Oh. My. Gosh. It is breathtaking. The entire inside of the venue has been recently updated and it is gorgeous. The floors are beautiful, the windows overlooking the greens are amazing, and the foyer is so beautifully decorated. You get the farmhouse feel as soon as you walk in. The outside of the venue is equally as beautiful and pristine. It is a golf course but the greens are so well taken care of that it is the perfect backdrop for amazing pictures (which we got!!!). There are different spots throughout the course where pictures can be taken and each and every spot is just gorgeous. Our pictures are absolutely stunning.
Now let’s talk about the kind, patient, and all around amazing staff. From our first meeting with Swan Lake to picking up our items the day after, the staff was absolutely wonderful. We first met with staff at Swan Lake by joining them for their food tasting, and OMG, the food was out of this world. They made us feel so welcomed, answered all of our questions on the spot, and worked with us to find a date that could work that we booked right on the spot. We really just fell in love with it right from the beginning.
After booking, the administrative team was constantly in touch with us. Checking in to make sure we had certain vendors booked by certain times, to ask if there were specific ways we wanted the venue decorated, and if we needed anything from them. Just the fact that Anthony, Charlie, Steve, and Sophia knew us by first name and checked in to make sure we were feeling good, just makes you feel like a part of the family. It really put our minds at ease knowing that this team was on top of everything and that we didn’t have to be. This was a huge stress relief as a Bride.
On the day of the wedding everything ran so seamlessly and this is because of this amazing team. All of the decor we brought in was set up beautifully, everyone was attentive to our needs, and our wedding party was well taken care of as well. My Bridal attendant, Kelly, was FABULOUS. Like, I mean fabulous! She ensured that we were on time, where we needed to be, and that we always had a drink and were doing okay.
I also want to talk about the food. OH MY GOODNESS…the food! YUM!! Charlie is like a master chef. Not only did he cook delicious meals but he came and spoke to every table to make sure everyone enjoyed their meals. So many of our guests told us that they loved the dinner so much that they ate everything. People were also offered seconds! Charlie also completed a crazy random request that I had. He made a groom's cake for me made entirely out of steak, bacon, and mashed potatoes!!! IT WAS INSANE!!! He made my vision come to life and I am forever grateful to him!!!
Overall we had the most amazing day ever. This team of people at Swan Lake made everything perfect and this place will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you to Swan Lake :)

The entire team at Swan Lake was incredible! From the start, we worked with Sophia, who was the driver of our entire event. She was incredibly helpful, cheerful, and always on board with our vision. She made the planning process entirely customizable to us and made sure we got everything we wanted. True pleasure working with her!
My bridal attendant, Mary, was an absolute gem! On the day of, she was incredibly helpful, even cleaned off the train of my dress after photos. She made sure my bridal party and I always had a drink in hand, were fed, and we had nothing to worry about. She was so amazing and was by my side the entire day. Everyone at Swan Lake went the extra mile for us and it showed! Our wedding was absolutely stunning through and through.

I would give Swan Lake a million stars if I could! My husband and I only toured one other venue before meeting with Charlie at Swan Lake, and we walked away from the first meeting ready to stop our venue search and put down a deposit. The team here is AMAZING! Charlie, Sophia, and Elena were so helpful throughout the planning process and always happy to answer a quick phone call/text with a question. We did everything on site - ceremony, pictures, and reception. Elena went above and beyond to make sure the room was perfectly set to match our vision and the day of she ran our wedding perfectly, whether it was helping me before walking down the aisle or reminding my husband and I to stop and eat something lol. They set up a private table for us in the bridal suite following the ceremony so that we could have a few minutes to reflect on the day so far and get some food on our bellies. And the food? 1000/10! Charlie specializes in vegan food which was a bonus for our guests, but truly there is nothing this man can’t make! Some of our favorites were the shrimp ceviche, the Mac and cheese, and the Thai chili cauliflower. Our guests are still raving about the food to this day! We also had Gill as our bridal attendant and she was an absolute sweetheart. She constantly made sure we had a drink in hand, that my dress was bustled, and was overall just there to make sure hubby and I had everything we needed. There is so much more I can say about this fabulous team but I’m running out of space! If you’re looking for a venue, this is it - from the beautiful grounds to the wonderful staff, we couldn’t be happier with our decision and if we had to get married again we wouldn’t change a thing about our venue. We loved Swan Lake!

So, my new husband and I had our wedding at swan lake on 8/20/22 and words cannot express how great it was (but I’ll try in this review haha). I mean it’s been weeks and people are STILL saying how great the wedding was!
We reserved our wedding date back in April 2021 with Charlie and from that day all the way to the day of the wedding the staff was so attentive. Sophia and Charlie would call or email us often to make sure everything was going well and to see if we had any questions (which I always did so it worked out!) I’m a ball of stress when it comes to anything and everything, but the staff at swan lake helped so much with the wedding anxiety.
Now we decided to go for the package deal, which includes the DJ (high voltage) and photographer (capture the moments) and I’m so glad that we did! The dj was AMAZING, Anthony was an awesome MC and the photos came out beautiful. They were also so helpful and quick to respond.
I had a vision of what I wanted the wedding to look like and they absolutely nailed it! It was a mix of cozy rustic yet at the same time classy.
The day of wedding our Maitre D, Elena, was so attentive to both us and our guest. I had not an inkling of stress on my wedding day and there was not a single thing that went wrong.
The food was absolutely amazing! My husband and I enjoyed most of the cocktail hour in the bridal suite (which is so cute and cozy) and during the whole time the best bridal attendant, Mary, always made sure everything was ok and was so sweet.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend swan lake. The place is beautiful, the staff is wonderful and the food is delicious. What more can you ask for?

We chose Swan Lake for our reception for every reason: the grounds are gorgeous, the people are awesome, there's only 1 wedding at a time, and the food is simply spectacular.
Our wedding was planned with only 6 months before our big day. Once we walked into the beautiful foyer and were greeted by Sophia, the decision was easy. Chef Charlie is more than just accommodating -- he's an active part of menu planning and handling guests' different dietary needs. Elena and Sophia made sure every part of our day went perfectly, and that's no exaggeration. From the planning to the table charts to timing, guest-wrangling, decor and making sure the guests of honor were taken care of, we were in good hands the entire time!
Capture the Moment handled photography and video. Jessica and Dave gave us some stunning shots for our engagement shoot, the "getting ready" gallery, and of course the main event. Amazing.
We went with High Voltage (HVDJ) for DJ and MC tasks, and these guys kept the party hopping the entire time. Anthony and Angelo were awesome!
Thank you Sophia, Elena, Charlie, Angelo and Anthony for making our wedding day a stress-free and truly unforgettable experience!

When we first stepped into our venue the splendor of the day was shinning brightly through the floor to ceiling windows. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better venue and staff for our special day. Charlie's expert cuisine catered to all of our dietary needs and was simply out of this world. Elena was nothing but gracious, and runs her events like a well oiled machine. She bent over backwards for my husband and I. She made sure that our vision was brought to life and I am truly grateful for it. My bridal attendant Mary was warm and understanding. She knew how demanding the day is on the Bride and Groom and made sure to check in with us constantly. The servers and bartenders were top notch. It was a day we will cherish for ever. Thank you Swan Lake.

Where do I even begin!? Charlie the owner was absolutely amazing. He and staff went above and beyond every single time we visited the venue. The hospitality and true appreciation for weddings is amazing. You can definitely tell that they enjoy the process and aren’t just pumping weddings out. They are a one wedding at a time venue which was great. Charlie’s passion is food and it is amazing; truly his calling. Everyone, including us, we’re just blown away with the decor the food and the staff. The staff found out we were incorporating sunflower bouquets and went above and beyond by surprising us with their own decorations and incorporate sunflowers so tastefully. Our maitra D Emily and bridal Attendant Mary were so sweet and attentive. The staff even joined us on the dance floor towards the end of the night; it was so much fun! The bar tender was attentive and there was never really a line. They made sure we had a his and hers signature drink; recommended it and said they’d get us whatever we needed. They packed us up so much food and desserts to go. They made a point to take us away for 15 minutes after the ceremony to enjoy cocktail hour food, and compress. We got married on site outside, and the cocktail hour was outside. Both were just so simple and beautiful. They were reasonably priced and we had a lot of things included. The reception room is just stunning with its vaulted ceiling. The bridal suite is large; we comfortably had 14 people in the room at one point and there was still room. We had such an amazing time. We would highly highly recommend them.

The best way to describe my wedding experience with Swan Lake Caterers is absolute perfection. Swan Lake was the first and only venue my husband and I went to visit and we knew right away that it was the only place where we wanted to get married. On our first visit to Swan Lake, we booked on the spot and did not have one single regret. The atmosphere is amazing and you feel so welcomed the second you walk into the door and not to mention the amazing layout of the room and the decor throughout. Leading up to the wedding, Charlie and Sofia made the entire process easy. Any questions I had, were immediately answered and they continued to check in as we got closer to our wedding date. We were able to attend a food tasting prior to selecting our menu and the food is AMAZING! Charlie is an incredible chef and all of our guests raved about the food and the amazing service of the staff. One of the best things about getting married at Swan Lake is the endless possibilities for photo opportunities. My husband and I were able to take a golf cart around the venue and our photographer was able to take the most amazing pictures (I also highly recommend Capture the Moment Studios). So if you are looking for a venue with fantastic photograph opportunities right on-site, then Swan Lake is the place for you. Elena did an incredible job of making my dream wedding day decor come true. Elena had the lobby set up beautifully for the wedding and was able to set up the tables exactly how I imagined they would be for my wedding day. When I arrived at the venue the day before to drop off the decor, Elena let me stay and help set up my own sweetheart table with the decor I brought. I cannot thank Elena enough for all she did to make sure my wedding dreams came true. Mary was the bridal attendant for my wedding and she was beyond amazing. She was so attentive and jumped in to help me with whatever I needed. Swan Lake is not your average venue. I love how they only do one wedding a day and how personable everyone is who works there. My wedding was truly the best day of my life thank you to Swan Lake Caterers.

My husband and I got married here 2/26/22 and I cannot find enough words to describe what a great job everyone at Swan Lake did! I've worked in the service industry for many years and the absolute best part of working with Swan Lake was the service! From the minute we walked in the door Charlie was so flexible, informative, and attentive. Elena's management was top notch from start to finish and talking with Sophia on a regular basis was always a pleasure! The venue was beautifully decorated and individualized, with so much attention paid to the smallest details. The transition from pictures, to cocktail hour, to our cocktail-style reception was truly seamless. All of our guests couldn't stop commenting on how impressed they were with the food and the speedy and professional service. The overall ambiance of the venue with the incredible service made it feel so much more like an intimately hosted private party, as opposed to the "wedding factory" vibe so many other locations can be notorious for. We booked and planned our wedding in just a 3 month period and Charlie and Elena were so helpful in guiding us through the whole process. They are so professional and detail-oriented, they truly excel at everything they do. On top of all the bells and whistles, the food was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I am so grateful to their entire team for being so accommodating, professional, and for hosting a perfect event from start to finish. My husband and I, as well as all of our guests, were so impressed with the very high standard they set and maintained through every detail- from planning through execution. I am so happy we chose them to host our wedding and I look forward to hosting events there again in the future! I so highly recommend this venue!

Swan Lake Caterers is truly a hidden gem on Long Island. Everything from the staff, grounds, reception hall to planning, food, decor, day of coordination, (you name it, all of it!) far exceeded any expectations I could’ve ever dreamt of.
As an older bride marrying for the second time, who hates event planning, I couldn’t have done it without the help of Charlie, Sophia, Elena and the rest of the team. I shared my concerns and stresses with them and they all assured me that’s a day would go off smoothly and boy did it ever!
Our event started with an awesome champagne welcome which our guest thoroughly enjoyed. We had our ceremony on site which the staff coordinated beautifully. Next was an amazing cocktail hour then dinner. The food was the best I’ve ever had at any catering facility, on par with a 5 star restaurant. If I ever plan an event again I know where I will be going!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the staff of Swan Lake Caterers. You made our dreams come true!

Swan Lake made our wedding the day I dreamed my whole life it would be. We booked this venue based on the location, price, maximum capacity and the fact that they only cater to one wedding at a time! We booked one year prior to our wedding and the amount of upgrades Swan Lake had made within that time frame only made us happier with our decision! My family is still talking about how amazing everything was to this day! We worked with Charlie throughout our planning process and he made everything a breeze! We had a TORNADO my wedding day and you wouldn’t have even known with how calm and collected the entire staff was! After our ceremony my husband and I were served our cocktail hour food separately in the bridal suite to have a moment alone and the staff made sure that we were not to be bothered so we could have that intimate moment together which was very special for us. I can’t even begin to tell you how AMAZINGLY Elena put everything together. The day was a dream that I wish I could relive over and over again!

Charlie and the entire Swan Lake team are absolutely amazing. We I totally booked Swan Lake because of the hospitality Charlie provided on our first visit and we really loved how the venue was a cookie cutter Long Island venue. From the time we booked to when we had our wedding, the team at Swan Lake took the time to update the venue and made it even better than we could have ever imagined! The place is really beautiful.
Day of, the team was absolutely amazing as well. We were taken care of ALL night and any time I needed something, someone was there to assist. I am so happy we had the opportunity to work with Swan Lake.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this venue. Charlie, Mary, Sophia, and Elena were an amazing team. My family has gone on and on about how wonderful they all were on our wedding day. Getting engaged and planning a wedding during a pandemic wasn’t fun, but Charlie made it extremely enjoyable every time we were in contact with each other. Mary was the most attentive bridal attendant I have ever seen (I worked in weddings for several years). Elena was fantastic as well. She got so much done so quickly, I honestly didn’t even realize she was doing. This entire team worked together so seamlessly.

Where to Begin: We fell in love with this place in January 2019 when we were looking for a venue to host our wedding (Planned for October 2020). It was literally love at first sight. Upon arrival for the tour, the property and interior layout drew me in right away. It is incredibly stunning and super practical. The interior is laid out in a really well-organized fashion. Anthony and Elena made us feel very welcome and special, and not just like some customers looking to spend money. By the end of our tour and chat, they made us feel like family. I couldn't have been happier that these two were going to be involved in our wedding. The planning process was great with the help from the staff as they were very attentive and easygoing. Covid struck in Spring 2020 and we bumped our wedding to October 2021. Again, the staff was incredibly patient and helpful with us during this date change.
The wedding finally came on October 22, 2021, and I have NOTHING negative to say!
Our officiant actually went to the wrong venue and it became clear she wasn't going to be able to make it. Swan Lake went above & beyond to make sure the ceremony would still happen on time by convincing a special guest who happened to be ordained to officiate! They made it a blessing in disguise. Elena did an absolutely beautiful job with the decorating of the reception room! I was blown away at how professional, courteous, and caring Elena, Sophia, Kelly, Anthony, and Angelo (From High Voltage Entertainment) were. The food was excellent, the music was bangin', and I was in love. Thank you so much to Swan Lake Caterers for a night to remember!

We just had our wedding at Swan Lake Caterers and I can’t complain about one thing! They updated the whole place since I booked 2 years ago, the outdoor patio and fire pit heated tables outside are amazing! They also offer an outdoor games package which was a hit during cocktail hour! The team is outstanding - so attentive and helpful, my Maitre D (Elena) and bridal attendant (Adriana) were there to jump in and fix any issues that arose with their bobby pins and tide pens handy and did an amazing job keeping my nerves down! Charlie, Elena, Adriana, and Sophia were so helpful throughout the entire planning process. They quickly responded to any issues I presented them with and were so flexible in making our day perfect! The food is INCREDIBLE all my guests were raving about it throughout the night. The whole team really goes above and beyond expectations to meet your needs and works with the vendors to make sure everything runs smoothly. I wish we could get married again just to have another amazing party at Swan Lake! 🤍🥰

Where do I even begin! Swan Lake was a blessing in disguise & an absolute hidden gem! We are SO glad we stumbled upon Swan Lake because our first meeting with Charlie went better than we could have imagined. Charlie saw our vision, and truly brought it to life- along with Elaina. Everything my husband and I could have wanted in a wedding was brought to life and implemented and we are so grateful for the incredibly supportive and caring team. By the end of our wedding, we truly feel as if Charlie was part of our family because that’s exactly how he made us feel throughout the entire process. Any time I had a question or needed help with something, he was there to help sooner than I expected. Our wedding at Swan Lake was the most incredible night of our lives and we are SO grateful for all of the help and support we received. We can not wait to keep recommending Swan Lake to everyone we know & can’t wait to use them again for more events!

What a beautiful day!! I can’t begin to express how much we loved our entire experience working with everyone at Swan Lake Caterers. From the moment we booked this venue, we felt confident in our choice and it just kept getting better and better. The venue itself is a hidden gem, from the picturesque landscape and newly built outdoor patio space to the intimate reception room, we couldn’t have asked for more. We had both our ceremony and reception there and enjoyed every single moment of them both.
Charlie and his staff were very attentive and made us feel very relaxed on what could have been a very stressful day. For someone who wears many hats, from being our officiant to later carrying out his skills in the kitchen, he handled it with such professionalism and grace. We truly are beyond grateful for his constant check-ins during the year and a half and how he made us feel at ease after our many questions and worries, especially during COVID.
A special thanks to Sophia for just being there and putting a positive spin on everything. She was able to put a smile on my face at times when I needed it. Thanks to Elena, our maitre'd, she handle all the decor and was able to transform all my ideas in my head to reality. Thanks for your patience and hard work, it made my day even more special. My bridal attendant Adrianna, was the icing on the cake. She was there at every step that day, from helping me with everything to playing with the kids and keeping them entertained. A five star rating, would recommend alway!

I cannot say enough amazing things to describe how great working with Swan Lake was, and how perfect our wedding turned out!
We worked with Charlie directly for most of the planning process, and he was great with accommodating us! When dealing with COVID, they actually reached out to us first a few months before our original date to let us know that whatever we decided (postponing, downsizing, catering for home), that they would be able to do it! It really made the whole process so much easier.
Elena, our maitre d, and Mary, my bridal attendant, both went above and beyond for our event as well! They were amazingly helpful, and was sure that my husband and I were comfortable and happy at all times throughout the night. My family couldn’t stop complimenting their attentiveness, either!
We had both our ceremony and reception here, and wouldn’t change any of it!

My husband and I had our wedding at Swan Lake in September after having to postpone a full year due to covid, we even almost thought about cancelling our event completely… well let me tell you I am so glad we didn’t. Swan lake gave us the most incredible wedding celebration we could have imagined, from the food and drink, to the decor, the outdoor patio, and the staff everything was as perfect as perfect gets. Our guests were so impressed with the food (especially the out of this world cocktail hour) and the drinks were just as good. Elena decorated for our event to match our color and flower scheme so beautifully and tastefully. The staff were the most kind, attentive, and professional people I have had the pleasure of working with, from Charlie, to Elena, to Anthony, to the bridal attendant (i’m sorry I forgot her name! but she was excellent), and everyone in between- everyone truly cared about our event and put their all into ever detail of it. And the added bonus of waiting an extra year was the beautiful outdoor patio which was put to good use because it was the most beautiful September day.
I could go on and on… but i’ll just finish by telling you my husband and I already decided if we are going to have any future events we would be back! Thank you for the most perfect day!

I had my wedding here on September 3rd and it was the most amazing experience. From the very beginning Charlie guided my now husband and I through the entire process with ease. Even through the pandemic he kept us in the loop and kept constant communication with us. Anytime we stepped in for a meeting he would be just as excited as I was to talk! Now to get to the exciting part… the wedding day! I cannot think of a more perfect place to have celebrated our special day. The grounds alone speak for themselves but it was the entire team and experience that made it perfect. Elena the maitre d’ was amazing! She made sure that everything went smoothly and as planned. Her experience in this industry made me feel so comfortable that all I had to worry about was having fun. Mary the Bridal attendant was so great! She constantly checked in on me to make sure I had everything I needed and not only took care of me but my entire bridal party. The food and drinks were the main attraction for my guests, cocktail hour was a huge hit! We had so many stations and hor d'oeuvres that some of our guests thought that was all the food for the night so when dinner orders were being placed they were shocked! Charlie was not only our coordinator but the head chef, I have never heard so many people compliment wedding food before. One of my guests told me days later “Everyday I think about the delicious wedding food and how I won’t be able to eat it again” The entire team at Swan Lake made my wedding everything I could ever ask for and for that I truly want to thank you!

After having to wait a whole extra year to have our wedding event here, Swan Lake gave us the most amazing celebration we could've ever imagined!! The venue itself is beautiful, the food and drinks were great, and the staff is amazing to work with! They truly care about you and strive to make your day special and meet all your desires! Charlie & Anthony, as well as Sophia, Elena & the rest of the staff we worked with, did above and beyond what we could've ever asked or imaged to make our day perfect! My husband and I are so glad that we were still able to have our wedding celebration here after having to postpone a couple times. Since we ended up postponing a year, we were able to utilize their new outdoor patio area for our reception time which was beautiful with the tent and lights that were added! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a venue to have any type of event! I definitely know that for any future events that I will have, I will be using Swan Lake.

There isn't enough room on any forum to truly express how positive our experience has been with Swan Lake Caterers. We looked at a few locations before stumbling upon Swan Lake Caterers and honestly, it was the menu that pulled me to this location. Being that we are both vegan, it was important to us to have more than just a veggie tower as an option for our dinner. When we met Charlie, our minds were made up rather quickly. Charlie not only understood our needs for vegan food but helped us plan an entirely vegan menu for the whole event which blew the socks off ALL of our guests - I mean it, people who've never tried vegan food completely blown away by the depth of flavor and things that can be done to transform plants. He also made us feel like we were becoming part of a family, how our needs were important, and it was obvious that this was NOT another "Long Island Wedding Factory" (I'm sure most of you reading these reviews know exactly what I'm talking about). Not only is Charlie such a large selling factor at Swan Lake, but the team of people he's helped put together both within Swan Lake, the vendors he recommended, all of them made the planning and the wedding itself more special than I could have ever imagined. Elena, our maitre'd, did an incredible job with the decor. She took our decorations and theme and transformed the space further than I could have done myself. On the day/night of our wedding, Elena and our Bridal attendant Gill took extra special care of us. In this case, they had 2 brides to attend to, and they made it seem so easy! They made sure we always had a drink in hand (if we wanted to) and ensured that we had time to eat throughout the evening. We felt like royalty.
Additionally, we booked our wedding a year before covid and were one of the couples who had to push our date out due to the restrictions. What could have been an opportunity for the venue to take advantage of us, turned into even more proof that Swan Lake Caterers was the right decision for us. They were there to give us updates every step of the way and were very flexible as we tried to figure out our new date(s).
Swan Lake Caterers is the perfect place to get married, in my opinion. The people there are passionate about what they do and go above and beyond to meet the needs of their couples. The venue is beautiful, the (new) outdoor space was awesome for our cocktail hour, and the inside was clean, modern, and with all the decor - exquisite. We couldn't have been happier with our choice!

I don’t even know where to begin with Swan Lake. From the minute we walked into the venue, we just KNEW Swan Lake was where we were getting married. Instantly. Throughout the whole process, Charlie has been absolutely amazing, and the days leading up to the event, Elena made sure that everything was absolutely perfect for us. The day of the wedding, Elena and Jill made sure that everything went smoothly and got us LITERALLY whatever we needed. It happened to rain on our wedding day, and we were pretty bummed about it because the grounds were beautiful, HOWEVER, once we saw what Elena and the team did inside, we didn’t even miss the outdoors at all! One of our favorite things about Swan Lake is that the whole team really made us feel like family. I will also say that most of our planning was done during COVID (we had picked the venue the summer before COVID), and Charlie and the team were beyond accommodating and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and a better team to bring our dream wedding to fruition. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. They helped us throw such an amazing, unforgettable wedding.

Where do we begin. Swan Lake Caterers was the first venue we looked at back in September 2019 and instantly fell in love with everything it had to offer. Our meeting with Charlie sealed the deal as you could tell by how he described all the services, food and overall atmosphere of the venue, that he truly took pride in each and every wedding. We knew he would provide us nothing short of an amazing wedding. We booked for September 12, 2020 within days of seeing the venue.
Flash forward to March 2020, a global pandemic ensued and disrupted life for everyone. Unsure of what September was going to look like, we did not know what our options would be. Charlie and his team contacted us every few weeks to update us on the newest regulations, check in on how we were dealing with everything and giving different scenarios of what we could do. They were patient with us in making decisions and allowed us to book a Plan B date for 2021.
As NYS began to open, we were hopeful our planned wedding at Swan Lake was going to be able to happen. When we realized it wasn’t, Charlie offered us options besides just rescheduling. From having a micro wedding onsite to catering our reception off premises. Something many venues I’ve heard have not done.
Yesterday, we had our wedding ceremony on the beautiful grounds at Swan Lake and then Charlie and his team pulled out all the stops at our small reception at home. No detail was left out. They decorated the space for us, provided exceptional food and service and overall went above and beyond to provide us with the best alternative option to our original plan.
We want to thank everyone at Swan Lake, From the staff to the golfers who let us take pictures on the course (and every single one we passed congratulated us.) If you are looking for a venue who never quits on you, makes you feel like you are the only couple they are working with, then this is the place to book. They exceeded all of our expectations and we will be forever grateful for Charlie and the entire team.
Thank you!

Though we haven’t been able to have our wedding event here due to COVID. They have been an amazing venue to work with before and during this pandemic. They have been exceedingly understanding and patient during the entire planning process, especially now as we had to postpone our event twice. My husband and I are so happy, now more than ever, with our decision to have our wedding event here- not only because it is a beautiful venue, but because the staff is amazing as well. We have no doubt that our event will be perfect in every way due to the work and dedication of the Swan Lake staff. We are so excited to eventually have our event here!!

Saying that planning a wedding is stressful is an understatement, but the team over at Swan Lake excel at making the experience incredibly stress free. Charlie is fantastic and his assistance in mapping out the day is beyond value. Throughout our meetings with Charlie he not only made us feel at ease but paid close attention to the importance of the day to ensure Alyson and I had the best wedding imaginable. This is a quality that is taken up by his staff as both Jill and Elena are indispensable. Not only did they attend to any/all our needs (whether getting drinks, reattaching eyelashes, or keeping us updated on upcoming moments) but brought personalities that dripped enthusiasm and happiness. They felt more a part of the wedding party then staff at the venue.
The food was tremendous and plentiful. The drinks flowed. The atmosphere was perfect. Alyson and I are slightly disappointed that we don’t’ have another big event to plan because we’d use Swan Lake again in a heartbeat. They went above and beyond in making our wedding special. We couldn’t have picked a better place.

Charlie, Elena and the Swan Lake Staff are amazing. They handled everything so that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing for the big day! They went out of their way to make sure myself, my husband, and all of my guests were comfortable and happy! They were also very reasonably priced. We went to a few places and got terrible service and felt like those places weren’t being honest. I wouldn’t even waste time looking at any other wedding venue. The pictures on the golf course came out beautiful and their cocktail hour food stations are incredible. I would recommend them 1000 times over!

We had an amazing wedding reception at Swan Lake. Everyone really took care of us. My husband's mom has limited mobility, and would have found it hard to stand in the buffet line, so they fixed her a plate at dinner. During our pictures, they even brought her a chair so she could sit while she waited for her portraits. They also brought her a cart to move her around. After we were done with pictures, they helped clear debris from my dress (I did not even ask them to do it - my attendant just was super thoughtful). They also fixed a plate for my sister after she missed it to take care of my niece. The venue is obviously beautiful and the food was great, but there were also all of these little details which made us so happy we picked Charlie and his team. I can't say enough about them.
We also found our photographer (Jessica and Connie at Capture the Moment Studios) and DJ (Anthony at High Voltage) through Swan Lake by choosing the wedding package. We really liked that Charlie did not pressure us into using his specific vendors, but we are so glad that he introduced us to them. Our photos are beautiful and the night was made so much fun by having Anthony as our DJ. Both Capture the Moment and High Voltage offered advice on creating our wedding schedule and reception timeline. With all the coordination of the team members, it was almost like we had a wedding planning team.

My wife and I had a fantastic wedding here last Saturday! The staff does a fantastic job. Charlie is your guy! He goes above and beyond to make sure you day runs smoothly. He is very accommodating, need something different on your menu, NO PROBLEM, want your very own chocolate fountain behind you, NO Problem. Again Charlie is your guy! Cannot say enough good things about the place. Also their in house vendors (DJ) really pack the one two punch.
