The Most Incredible Wedding Experience. 5 Stars Isn’t Enough!!!!! My Husband and I had our wedding reception at the Davenport Mansion on May 30th, 2026, and there truly are not enough words to express how incredible our experience was from beginning to end. From the moment we toured the mansion, we knew we had found somewhere special. The entire process of booking and planning was seamless, organized, and so incredibly accommodating. Guy and his team are truly exceptional. They went above and beyond for us in every possible way. They were attentive, professional, organized, and genuinely cared about making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. You can tell that they take tremendous pride in what they do, and that level of care made all the difference. The Davenport Mansion is breathtaking, and the views overlooking the Long Island Sound are truly one of a kind. Having the water as the backdrop throughout our wedding was something we will never forget. From the moment we started getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite to the last moments of our reception, every part of the day felt so incredibly special. We were also incredibly lucky to have a blue moon that night, and seeing the moonlight dazzling across the water was absolutely breathtaking. The bridal suite was such a beautiful and luxurious space to begin our wedding day, and having Anna as our bridal attendant made the experience even more special. She was absolutely amazing—attentive to every little detail, incredibly kind, and always one step ahead of me. She made sure I had everything I could possibly need and made me feel completely taken care of throughout the entire day. I am so grateful she was there. From start to finish, we felt so incredibly cared for. Guy, Chris, Anna, and the entire staff made us feel like our wedding was just as important to them as it was to us. They took away so much of the stress that can come with a wedding and allowed us to simply be present, soak it all in, and enjoy every single moment. That is something we will always be grateful for. Looking back, we honestly could not imagine our wedding anywhere else. Davenport Mansion gave us the most beautiful day, but more importantly, they gave us an experience we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Davenport Mansion a million times over without hesitation. If you are considering getting married here, book it. You will not regret it. Five stars truly do not feel like enough for this incredible venue, breathtaking setting, and exceptional team!!!

We were married at the Davenport Mansion in 2021, so when our youngest daughter's 1st birthday came along we decided to call Guy to see if hosting a summer BBQ for the party would be an option. Guy is always beyond accommodating, the food is exceptional and the staff are kind, prompt and professional. The event was a great success and we highly recommend the Davenport Mansion/Guy & his team for your next event; wedding and anything in between!

Island Sound, reconnecting with classmates for a milestone event. Guy and Anthony were absolutely wonderful to work with. Their experience in dealing with high school reunions was extremely helpful and they were so patient and understanding . As an event planner, I am no stranger to a certain amount of stress one encounters when organizing an event and I was able to relax and enjoy the evening with my classmates. I owe it all to Guy, Anthony and their entire staff who made sure our 50th reunion was successful. It's a wonderful venue with wonderful people and I WILL NOT hesitate to use Davenport Mansion for any future events. Thank you for a memory I will always treasure.

The elegant architecture provided the perfect backdrop for our pictures, while the indoor spaces were just as gorgeous. With the Christmas decorations in full bloom, the entire mansion felt extra magical and elevated the entire experience—making our wedding day feel like a winter wonderland. A huge shoutout to Guy and the entire staff at Davenport Mansion. They were incredibly helpful every step of the way—from the initial planning process to the day-of coordination. Their professionalism and attention to detail made everything feel smooth and stress-free. I truly felt taken care of throughout the entire process, and that peace of mind was invaluable on such an important day. The food was nothing short of amazing. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the delicious menu and impeccable presentation. It’s clear that they take great pride in every aspect of the experience, and the food was a true highlight. Overall, everything went so smoothly, and the venue’s team made sure that our day was perfect. If you’re considering a wedding venue, Davenport Mansion should be at the top of your list.

Guy, you were there from day 1, and your attention to detail and the expertise you showed of your craft, set us at ease from the start!! The word we heard that night and are still hearing is “perfect”. From the venue and the backdrop of the beautiful Long Island Sound, to the food, to the flow and how you did it all in such a subtle and professional manner just gave Bob and I the opportunity to enjoy every moment of our day, without having to worry about a single thing – We knew all was taken care of!!!

My daughter’s wedding was two weeks ago at the Davenport Mansion. It was an amazing day and a big reason was Guy and his attention to detail. He answered all my questions and on ...

the day of the wedding I did not need to worry about anything. He handled it all. He had said to me “ you hired professionals to do what they need to do. Now let them do their job”. Because of the great people who we hired it all ran smoothly. I was so lucky that I was able to visit with my guests, dance and enjoy the wedding! Anna, the bridal attendant, gets high praise from the bride and groom. She was attentive to them all night. Whatever they needed all they had to do was turn and there was Anna ready to get them whatever they wanted. She was so sweetheart 💗. The bartenders and staff gave us excellent service. They were pleasant and attentive to all my guests. The food was delicious. My family and friends are still calling me to say it truly was one of the best weddings they ever attended. And it was because of Guy DeMeo and his staff. Thank you for giving us “The Best Day Ever”. Diane S.

The Davenport Mansion was excellent! I had my baby shower there January 14th and everything was perfect from start to finish. We had first thought that we would only have about 75 ...

We had an omelette station that ALL the guests raved about! The day of the event, the entire staff was very helpful and it was certainly the most epic and memorable occasion of my life! I will definitely consider using Davenport Mansion again if we have another grand occasion to celebrate and would definitely recommend to anyone!!

more helpful, welcoming and accommodating as we began to plan with him. Guy always made himself available and answered all questions before we even needed to ask. His professionalism and execution of every last detail compares to none. The wedding itself was beautiful and could not have ran any smoother than it did. From the first bite of cocktail hour to the last bit of dessert and everythingin between, our guests could not stop raving about the food and incredibly attentive service. We cannot recommend working with Guy and The Davenport any more highly. He created the most perfect day and memory for us.

We are so happy we went with the Davenport Mansion for our wedding! The venue is beautiful with lots of character. We loved the combination of the dark hardwood feel of the library...

and the bar along with the bright and cheerful ballroom with great views of the long island sound. The mansion only hosts one wedding at a time, so you feel like you have all the attention and support that you need. Guy and team are professionals that really know what they are doing. Guy is super welcoming and put us at ease from day one. He is very knowledgeable in his field and gave us lots of great advice when we were making decisions during our planning process. The rest of the team was also great, helping us with set up and breakdown on the day of the event and making sure everything ran according to timeline so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing! The cocktail hour was fantastic- lots of great food options, and the team helped us develop fun and delicious signature drinks that were a huge hit. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor space for guests to mill around. We still get compliments from our guests about how unique the space was and how good the food was! Would highly recommend the Davenport Mansion for your wedding.

Our daughters Sweet Sixteen was at the beautiful Davenport Mansion. It was the most spectacular party we could have ever imagined! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted...

by the owner Guy and his Maitre D, Carmine. They went out of their way to ensure the the party was a success. Their advice for decor and food options was impeccable. They were so attentive to all of our needs and requests. It is not often that you see the owner of a venue have a complete hands on approach from start to finish. This what set our party apart from the others!! They made it truly memorable for our daughter! We will forever be grateful for the lasting memories that they gave my daughter and our entire family!!!!

We are so happy that we chose the Davenport Mansion for our wedding venue. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be. The outdoor setting for our ceremony was beautiful...

but it was good to know that in the event of rain, the venue would have been able to accommodate an indoor wedding ceremony. It was convenient that the bride, groom, and bridal party were able to get dressed at the venue. Guy and his staff took great care of us. They were attentive, professional, and committed to making sure that our day went exactly as we planned. We had so many meal selections to choose from for our big day. Our family and friends could not stop talking about the outstanding service and the delicious food. Our wedding day was amazing! We highly recommend the Davenport Mansion.

Mike and I had such a beautiful, fun, and memorable wedding day at the Davenport Mansion. Here are some of the highlights and why we recommend celebrating your special day here han...

ds down. The Venue - It's unique and unheard of to have an entire space just for you and your guests on your wedding day. The mansion was decorated for the holidays and it was like a dream. There were wreaths, garlands, and florals everywhere. There are real fire places too! It's so charming and cozy, but also spacious enough for everyone to feel comfortable. The library room is enchanting. The views from the bar and ballroom are incredible. The ballroom is breathtaking. When we first saw the ballroom we were in love with the floors. So beautiful! We had 12 tables and 125 guests and the layout was well done. There were no bad seats in the house. We could see everyone and easily move around to say hi. The bridal suite is the perfect place to get ready. The lighting is perfect for getting ready photos. And of course the staircase from the second floor to the first is also a great place for photos. The beach view is gorgeous and even for a December wedding it was a lovely addition for photos. Atmosphere 11/10 Food - Our cocktail hour was sick! We had multiple tasty cultural stations, including Asian and Italian, a craft beer pairing station, fresh mozzarella making station, and seafood. The entrees were delicious. There was something for everyone. Everyone could not stop raving about the food. Even as the bride and groom we made sure to try it all. Food was important to us and we were over the moon with everything. Super impressed and happy (and full). Food- Again 11/10 Staff and Service - Our day would not have been as wonderful if not for the staff. Special thanks to Guy and Carmine for keeping us and our families at ease. We had nothing to worry about. Guy is a pro and was always 5 steps ahead. Nobody had to wait for a drink at the bar and nobody was hungry. 11/10. We knew early on we made the right choice for our special day. It was a no-brainer to have our wedding here at the Davenport Mansion. This venue checks off all the boxes. We had a beautiful, fun, and delicious wedding. Mike and I will always remember this day so fondly. Thank you so much!

Stephanie C

Our wedding could not have been any better, and The Davenport Mansion is a big reason I am able to say that. Guy and his team are truly the best at what they do. They were able to ...

answer every question we had, work with us to cater to what we truly wanted and make sure our night was special. The mansion is on the water which made our vision of beach theme come true and they let us do just about what ever we wanted to decorate. We had more then enough time to prepare, both leading up to it and on the big day. They ensured everything ran smooth the entire time from beginning to end, and if anything did go wrong neither the bride nor groom knew about it (exactly how it should be). The food was delicious and they let us substitute and add food, as well as being very considerate for those with food allergies. The day of staff was phenomenal - both professional and attentive. I cannot speak enough to the overall satisfaction!

Voula D

After visiting many venues we showed up at the Davenport without an appointment and Guy and his staff were very warm and accommodating immediately. From beginning to end they took ...

care of all our needs. Made sure we were happy. If we had concerns they were quick to respond and assure us that we were at the right place. The day of the wedding was simply perfect. The food was great, the service and attention were outstanding and they even got little details right. Our bridal party and guests were very comfortable from early morning bridal prepping to the first look and throughout the evening. Someone gave us a little advice before the wedding “let the professionals do their job” and they certainly were right about that. The Davenport are pure professionals, from the bridal attendant (Anna), Carmine the go to man, Guy the owner, Jason hospitality each and every person on staff were exceptional. Me and my husband wanted to plan another event the next day because we had so much fun. Planning weddings are stressful to make all those details come to fruition but the Davenport made ours a piece of cake. Did I say cake? Yum yum and yum it was good and included in our package. Hands down this is the best place to make your event special. It’s only for you and no one else. The focus is all on you and they make sure you know it. Thank you Guy for making our day the best day ever! Cheers

October day and the process/planning was seamless. The mansion is quaint, well decorated (love the fireplaces), has best views of sound, and grounds are beautiful. So many places to take pictures. Guy was amazing from start. He is professional, responsive and really cared about us having a memorable wedding. He always returned phone calls and emails and was a pleasure to deal with. The food was absolutely amazing!! So many apps and stations to choose from for the cocktail hour (but you can’t go wrong!) our guests raved about the food. The main meal was great as well! On the day of the wedding, we were able to get ready at the davenport and they provided a bridal brunch. We were lucky and it was beautiful weather, so ceremony was outside and was beautiful. The staff did an awesome job guiding people into the cocktail hour then reception. Jason, Carmine, and bridal attendant Gianna were there on our wedding day and they were absolutely amazing. They catered to me and my husband as well as our bridal party and parents. You do not need a wedding planner or day of coordinator at the davenport because they really do it all!! We loved everything about our wedding and so happy we had it there.

I recently had my wedding reception here and everything was perfect! My friends and family continue to rave over how great the evening was, between the vast and wide variety of foo...

d, the beautiful scenery and how attentive and accommodating the staff was. The DJ that was recommended to us through the Davenport (Sound Active Entertainment) also did a great job. Shoutout to Guy and his team for helping us ease some wedding planning stress. They were so patient with overbearing planners and were willing to work with us and our detailed list of ideas. My only critique is the staff could have been a bit more careful handling our crystal decorations, since there was a champagne flute that got chipped in the “packing-up” process, but everything else was fantastic!

My daughter’s First Holy Communion was held at this venue. It was absolutely amazing. The Manager, Guy, is a class act. He’s sweet, patient and extremely funny. Guy and his staff (...

especially Jenny) made planning this celebration pleasurable. The space itself is stunning!!! To date, I still receive compliments on not only the venue, but the staff and the food. Thank you and I will certainly use this venue again.

Between the view, the staff and the food, we couldn't have picked a more perfect venue. The Davenport Mansion is elegant with a beautiful view of the LI sound. Most of the venues w...

e saw on the water lost the view once you were inside. The Davenport's reception room has tall windows so you still have a beautiful view. We loved that we were the only wedding happening that day - a lot of other venues have more than one wedding going on at once. Being the only wedding meant that the day was fully dedicated to us. The Davenport has a groomsmen suite and a bridal suite so the guys were able to get ready at the venue as well. The bridal party spent the morning getting ready and we were served with a wonderful brunch. Guy was really great to work with. He went above and beyond and really made sure the day was perfect for us. Additionally, the food was amazing - all of our guests raved about it. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, thanks to the Davenport!

skip a beat. My guests had a great experience and had good things to say about the service and the food. Guy was there assuring that everything was going smoothly. My husband and I are very happy with our reception and grateful to Guy and all that participated in making our wedding so memorable.
