Our wedding at Davenport Mansion was absolutely perfect, and I can’t recommend this venue enough! From the stunning aesthetics to the exceptional service, every detail exceeded our expectations.
The venue itself is truly breathtaking. The aesthetics, decor, and atmosphere are unparalleled. 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. The atmosphere, the service, and the beautiful surroundings made our day truly unforgettable.
I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a stunning, hassle-free, and unforgettable wedding experience

I’m not sure I have enough words to express our gratitude for the spectacular job The Davenport Mansion did for us on our very special day! Thank you to Guy, Anthony, Anna & Nicky and the entire staff for the care and attention you showed Bob & I! 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!!!
FIVE STARS FOR THE DAVENPORT MANSION!!
Much love

The ceremony and reception was at The Davenport.
The servers were amazingly friendly, polite and prompt! The Bartender was amazing and we never waited though he was on his own.. The food was delicious and plentiful!! I highly recommend this venue!

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”.

We had a wonderful Celebration of Life for our beloved son at The Davenport Mansion on September 22nd.
The service and professional courtesy of the owner and management was magnificent. Both individuals went out of their way to extend services that went way beyond those normally extended to clients.
All requests and subsequent provisions were at the highest levels.
We highly recommend this venue to anyone who desires too tier accommodations and service for their event.
Would give more than 5 stars if allowed.

Excellent banquet manager (Guy). Very sincere and true to his word. The team followed up many times and everything we discussed about the event was spot on the day of the event. The team was very helpful.. Bartenders, service and management excellent. Temp was 100 degrees out side so side room was a bit hot but AC in banquet hall was fine.

We had a wonderful time at the Davenport Mansion for my daughter's Quinceanera Birthday Celebration. Prior to the event, Guy and his staff were very attentive and addressed my concerns right away. As planning a Quinceanera event, can be overwhelming, Mr. Guy was so knowledgeable, and made the process easier. The food was delicious and everyone was just so kind and helpful. All my guests were astonished at the beautiful scenery, inside, and outside the Davenport Mansion. It was a fantastic experience.

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 guests but that number grew exponentially to about 130. Nothing was ever a stress or a concern! Guy made me feel that everything was taken care of and indeed it was. The food was delicious! 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!!

Flawless. My husband Chris and I cannot express enough how incredibly happy we were with our recent wedding at The Davenport Mansion. From the beginning, Guy could not have been 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.

We cannot speak highly enough about our experience at the Davenport. From start to finish, every communication, every choice and every detail was just as we hoped it would be. Guy, Gerard, Katie, Skylar, everyone was so kind and accommodating, and so dedicated to making sure our event was just as we had envisioned it. The food was superb, the service was brilliant, and the place looked absolutely stunning. Events like these have a lot of moving parts, and it was wonderful to be relieved of so many details and have them carried out so seamlessly. We highly recommend the Davenport Mansion.

This vendor was absolutely amazing! They were caring, considerate and attentive to all needs, wants and asks from us. Guy and Carmine went above and beyond to accommodate any requests we had and were constantly checking in on the wedding day to make sure everything was going great and as planned. To add, the staff as a whole were very nice and respectful, plus the food was great too. We used multiple vendors they had suggested when comparing to others we found, the others did not compete. Highly recommend and love that they do all types of events! Thanks again for everything.

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 hands 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!

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!

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

We got married at the Davenport on 10/7/22 and everything was perfect! From the time we walked into the venue we knew that was ‘our’ venue. We booked the Davenport in March for our 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 food, 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!

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 we 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!

We used the Davenport Mansion for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. It was a sensational experience from our first visit through the event itself. Guy, the owner, is a very special person: experienced, caring, and really smart about the business. There is so much that is special: we were served a full dinner of hors d’oeuvres when we asked to taste the food (at no charge!), the whole staff was friendly and responsive, and the setting on the Long Island Sound is magnificent. The food is first rate. We could not have been more satisfied. Have your party here!

I just had my wedding at The Davenport Mansion on March 26, 2022 and my husband and I could not have been happier! I honestly cannot express adequately how happy I am with this venue!! Everything was fantastic. We used the bridal suites upstairs to get ready; the brunch provided for us was superb and kept our bridal party full all day. The ceremony decorations and setup were beautiful. My guests are still raving about how delicious the food was! Guy was the best to work with. He is so friendly, easy to talk to, and honest. Jenny was amazing as well! She answered all of our questions very quickly and was very organized. Miranda, my bridal attendant, was fantastic! She was so sweet and helpful throughout the entire day. She was a life saver! Please check out The Davenport Mansion. It is a beautiful venue on the Long Island Sound, the food is delicious, and the staff is wonderful! If you want a stress free, fun time planning your wedding, begin with booking The Davenport Mansion on the Sound!

The Davenport does it again! The amazing staff and delicious food never disappoints, and let’s not forget about the ambiance and the wrap-around view of the Sound. This is the second event I’ve held at this venue and my guest continue to rave about how fabulous the Davenport is! The ultimate form of flattery a host can have is when your guests say they want to host their upcoming celebrations at the Davenport as result of attending your event…you know you’ve done right!
Guy, Jenny and the staff have been the easiest people to work with and they make you feel like they are longtime friends by the time you are done with all the planning. They want you and your guests to be happy and offer the best suggestions based on your vision. Trust in them and Trust in the Davenport.
I look forward to years of events at this place!

Everything about our experience with the Davenport Mansion was perfect. Guy and Jenny helped us every step of the way through our planning process, and my bridal attendant Miranda was a total pro. The venue is stunning, the food was insanely good and the atmosphere was perfect. Our guests couldn't believe how good the food was - our wedding was over a month ago and people are still raving about every detail.
Overall, I really can't say enough about how happy we were with Guy and Jenny. I'd recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

If you are looking for a venue full of charm and elegance with great views of the water, then the Davenport Mansion is the place for you. The whole team was amazing to work with during the planning phases and incredibly attentive the day of our wedding. The food was delicious!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! In order for this day to be perfect many things had to happen. Guy, Anton, Jenny and Miranda ensured that they would do everything they could to make this day memorable. From our very first visit, The Davenport Mansion and her staff exceeded our expectations. 3000 words aren't nearly enough to detail the superior service but for this review I will keep it short. Anton and Miranda were by our side the whole day. They were attentive without being intrusive. The bridal suite and groom's lounge were stocked with food and beverages while my wife and I got ready for the day. They catered to our immediate family and our guests equally. I felt as if they were part of our party! Guy welcomed us with a warm confident smile and assured us the day would be perfect. Guy knows his business. He made certain that our party was his main event. From our first introduction, Guy made us feel at home. We were invited to taste the food prior to the wedding and he and his chef did not disappoint. He knows he has the best kitchen in Westchester and the food is absolutely delicious. Every single guest raved about the food. The cocktail hour is the first and everlasting impression for the wedding guests. The main meal was so delicious but I kept asking our guests to leave room for the desserts. Every morsel of dessert was presented in such an appetizing way. Guy manages his staff with a smile and seems to ensure that everyone in his staff is friendly and warm. The venue itself is very classy and feels larger than it actually is. My final thoughts are if you would like your wedding to be perfect enlist Guy and his staff. The Davenport Mansion is a boutique wedding venue with superior quality food, amazing views and overall excellence in service. I can not thank Guy, Anton, Jenny, and Miranda enough for giving my bride the very best wedding.

I got married here in September of 2021 and I’m really writing this review to thank Jenny and Anton for their professionalism and for their communication. My fiancé and I walked in and immediately knew this was the venue for us. The owner, Guy was extremely kind considering we were under a small Covid micro-wedding contract, and we felt like we were valued clientele. The demeanor and communication efficiency seemed to change when the restrictions lifted and larger Weddings were once again permitted. That’s just what it felt like to my husband and I, and we can only assume, that’s not a solid claim. But something clearly changed. But from the lifting to the date of our wedding it became very frustrating to get in contact with Guy unless my fiancé or I sent extremely long emails (which were clearly not read by anyone but Jenny and maybe Anton) or called until we felt uncomfortable with how long it was taking to get very simple details solidified and to even just pay the venue on time. My husband and I are very low maintenance people as we run our own business and understand how very difficult clientele can make a job so we really tried not to be one of “those” couples. We always paid our balances ahead of time or on time and really didn’t call very often to bug the vendor with small details, but unless we were being proactive it became a bit frustrating to even settle an invoice. Jenny, Anton and the staff really do the leg work at the venue, and that becomes very clear once you sign on to have your event hosted here. I’m am very conscious of what reviews do to a company so I don’t leave them lightly. However after one of my Bridesmaids informed me that her review was removed from this site I as the Bride decided to leave one myself. Thank you to the staff and Jenny and Anton for keeping everything running and for how seamless the day was. I can’t thank you enough got all of your hard work.

Hi Damaras,
We would like to thank you for taking your time to write a review and your kin...
d words about Jenny, Anton, the Staff and Venue. Any assumptions you have made about your weddings level of importance to us are disheartening, we would like to acknowledge that every event that any client hosts at our venue is a top priority no matter the kind of event and size. To address the issue of your concern about final payment, all of our events and menus are customizable and final invoices must be tailored to each client’s head count and event menu which may take some time. We are so glad to hear your wedding day was seamless and you and your husband appreciated the hard work of the staff. We hope you can understand that your wedding was always a priority.

This venue is absolutely incredible! Guy and his staff are exceptional. Our wedding was on June 19, 2021 after being postponed from June 2020. From the very moment we looked at the venue to the wedding day itself, it was such a pleasure working with them. Our wedding was a dream come true, and our guests had an amazing time. Guy constantly worked with us to help make all of our ideas come to life, regarding set up, food, and overall atmosphere. The food was delicious and abundant, and we got nothing but glowing reviews from our guests. Guy and Jenny really helped make this experience as enjoyable and seamless as possible. My husband and I can't say enough positive things!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here on July 31st 2021 and everything was absolutely perfect. We had a buyout. The place is really beautiful outdoors and indoors. It was very clean and very well kept. The view is amazing, everyone at our wedding still talks about how beautiful the place is and how they enjoyed their time and the service.
Lastly, we are grateful for Mr. Guy DeMeo, he was really nice and also very understanding. He knows a lot and gives good advice. Thank you! We are so grateful for the support and service for helping us to have such a beautiful wedding.

My wife and I are happy to write a glowing review of Davenport Mansion, where we just had our wedding ceremony and reception. Wedding planning during a pandemic was challenging, and amid the uncertainty of the changing guidelines, nobody at Davenport asked us for a penny until we knew we’d be able to safely host a full-sized event. Our friends and family have been raving about the delicious food and the beautiful waterfront views. The entire staff did a great job taking care of our guests, and my wife and I were at ease seeing how organized and helpful the team at Davenport was the day of our wedding. Special thanks to Guy, Anton and Jenny who made sure our wedding day was perfect. Thank you, Davenport team!

There are no words to describe how grateful we are for Guy and the entire Davenport team, and everything they did to help us navigate planning a wedding during COVID and ensure a perfect, stress-free wedding day.
We knew going in that the venue and views of the Long Island Sound were beautiful. What we didn’t know was that Guy would become our wedding planning partner - the person keeping us sane during two years of planning and then replanning our wedding.
Guy's expertise in the industry is unmatched - he listened to our requests, enhanced our wedding vision, and brought it to life. He always made himself available for questions throughout our planning process (whether directly or tangentially related to the venue) and would provide us with options and recommendations, guiding us toward a smooth, stress free wedding weekend. It is clear that Guy’s top priority is his clients and their happiness - even in the midst of a pandemic.
And the food!!! Abundant and delicious.
Guy and the team executed every detail flawlessly, resulting in a day that we - and our guests - can’t stop raving about.

We were one of the many weddings originally planned for 2020 that had to be postponed due to Covid, and the Davenport worked with us every step of the way to ensure that our 2021 wedding day was everything we could've hoped for. The day went so smoothly and our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was! We had such a wonderful experience and are so appreciative of everything that Guy, Jenny, and the rest of the team did for us. They listened to our requests and offered helpful suggestions on how to turn our dream wedding into a reality. Their professionalism and attention to detail relieved so much of our wedding day stress, which allowed us to simply focus on each other and enjoy the evening with our family and friends. There isn’t a single thing that we would change about our day : ) We highly recommend the Davenport for your special day too!

Our wedding at the Davenport Mansion on August 7, 2021 was absolutely fantastic. Guy was so kind and incredibly accommodating after moving our wedding reception date so many times from 2020. Guy and Jenny truly went above and beyond to ensure that our day was the most special and that it would be everything that we imagined. The food was delicious from the cocktail hour through to dessert, the signature drinks (and frose machine!) were a big hit, and the tables were set beautifully. All staff were helpful and friendly. The bridal suite and groomsmen lounge were perfect for getting ready with our wedding party. The Davenport's beautiful beachfront view in addition to its elegant antique charm were elements with which we fell in love since our first visit. All of our friends and family enjoyed themselves so much, and so did we!
Thank you for making our wedding day magical!

Our wedding at the Davenport Mansion was everything we had hoped for and more! From the initial planning through to the big day, Guy was incredible. He was patient, accommodating and supportive, if there was any detail we forgot - he took care of it. The day was absolutely flawless. There was a threat of bad weather for the ceremony time, but Guy and his team set and reset the ceremony placement from outside to inside and back without hesitation, to make sure that our ceremony would be exactly how we had envisioned it. He was there from start to finish, walking us through, and keeping all of our worries at ease. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, but the food was delicious and the staff were fantastic. The cocktail hour was beyond amazing, and having the fresh mozzarella station was a huge hit!! We cannot thank Guy and his staff enough for helping to make our wedding day spectacular and memorable!

THANK YOU from our hearts for making our son’s and daughter’s-in-law venue absolutely outstanding. They chose the Davenport Mansion because of its picturesque view of the Long. Island Sound and the fact that theirs would be the only one occurring at the Mansion. Due to COVID Guy was so accommodating and patient in changing their original date. He also made sure that all details were followed exactly as planned. The food was EXCELLENT and ABUNDANT and Guy was present throughout the evening, ensuring that all went smoothly. It was a truly amazing venue. Family and friends are still raving!

The Guy DeMeo is the best, hands down!. Once I sat with him and discussed what I had in mind for my wedding, I knew I had to look no further. He is so patient, and he offers beneficial ideas without being condescending. Any issue I had or fears were laid to rest. The venue is beautiful, and he allowed us to use his centrepieces free of cost. This gesture saved me a lot of money since I had didn't have to spend a lot on decorations.
His assistant Jenny is accommodating and sweet. They really make you feel so at ease, even when you call half a dozen times to adjust your guest list.
I found it so helpful that they schedule our tasting with another couple so that we were able to sample the other dishes that we had not chosen to be a part of the menu.
Guy was beyond accommodating and made sure that I was at ease throughout the entire process.
On the day of the wedding, everything went like clockwork, the staff was on point, and my bridal assistant was amazing. All my guest felt at ease, and they were all saying how down to earth, and approachable everyone was.
My only hang-up was the cake vendors, but that was a small nuance compared to how well everything turned out.
My wedding started on time, everything flowed nicely, and my guest and I had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Guy and Jenny, for making my wedding day extraordinary.....

We are absolutely in love with Davenport Mansion!
We met on a beach and wanted our ceremony on one - but we couldn't go to the Caribbean during the pandemic- so we found Davenport Mansion - a little gem in New Rochelle, NY - just outside of NYC.
Guy was so accommodating - we felt like he was family. The food was amazing and our beach ceremony was breathtaking. The venue is spacious, the staff is super pleasant - our guests were blown away. Highly recommend!!!

Well, there is one word that can describe this venue and that word is AMAZING!! From the minute we walked in, my husband and i new this was going to be our venue and it exceeded all of our expectations. Jenny and Guy are absolutely amazing, they were with me every step of the way reassuring everything was going to be great. I was so apprehensive especially with COVID 19, but they are up to date with absolutely everything the CDC is puts out. The food from beginning to end was fantastic! My guests could not stop saying how amazing everything had turned out. I honestly had one of the most amazing days of my life, and it’s all thanks to Guy, Jenny and the wonderful staff at the Davenport.
