Swan Lake Caterers

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.

ed. 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.

vice! 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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

t 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!

age 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! 🤍🥰

ought 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!

r. 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!

g 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!

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!

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!

ith! 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.

ion. 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!

to actually eat on my wedding day. Our guests can’t stop raving about their experience there!

ing 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.

vices, 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!

cially 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!!

ur 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.

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!

with all the vendors, food was great, bridal attendant was there every step of the way guiding me and putting hair pins where needed, she was the best!!!! I am so glad to have done my wedding there the venue was beautiful and everything was perfect!!!! Thanks so much to swan lake and every staff member who helped to make our wedding day so special!!! I would definitely recommend swan lake to anyone.

ven 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.
