There truly aren't enough words to express how grateful we are to everyone at The Lannin. My husband and I got married there last summer in August and from the second we walked through the doors for our first tour, I knew it just felt right, and after meeting with Emma there was never a doubt in our minds.
Emma and Moe made every single part of the planning process so enjoyable and stress-free. They listened to every detail, answered every question, and brought my vision to life in a way that exceeded every expectation I had. They genuinely cared about making our day perfect, and it showed in everything they did.
On our wedding day, we truly felt like a king and queen. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make sure not only we, but all our family and friends were taken care of. My husband and I were able to be completely present and enjoy every moment. Their professionalism and kindness made us feel completely at ease so we could soak in every second of our special day.
The cocktail hour food and the Viennese hour was phenomenal, our guests are still talking about it! The beautiful grounds provided the perfect backdrop for our photos, and every part of the venue is absolutely stunning.
If you're looking for a wedding venue with exceptional service, incredible food, and a team that truly cares about making your wedding day unforgettable The Lannin is the place! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and we're so grateful to Moe, Emma, and the entire team for giving us the most memorable and special day of our lives.

The Lannin was everything we dreamed of and more. When people say, “You won’t lift a finger on your wedding day,” this is exactly what they mean.
From the moment we arrived, every single detail was handled flawlessly. The staff anticipated everything before we even had to ask. Drinks were waiting for us, the timing of each part of the night flowed seamlessly, and the entire team worked behind the scenes to ensure everything felt effortless and smooth.
The space itself is stunning — elegant, refined, and the perfect setting for a black-tie celebration. The ballroom felt grand yet intimate, and the layout made the night move beautifully from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception without ever missing a beat.
The food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about it. From cocktail hour to dessert, every course was exceptional — both in presentation and taste.
But what truly sets The Lannin apart is their team. Professional, attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in making your night perfect. We were able to fully be present, soak in every moment, and celebrate without a single worry.
Our wedding was magical — and The Lannin played a huge role in making it that way. We are forever grateful.

The Lannin hosted our wedding on 10/19/25, and from the moment we began working with them, it was clear that no other venue could possibly compare. We had both our outdoor ceremony...
and reception onsite. Emma and Moe's communication was flawless, and they made every step of the process effortless. On the big day, the staff’s attention to detail was unparalleled. They anticipated every need, even the ones my husband and I hadn’t thought of, and took care of it all with grace.
We were treated like VIPs from start to finish, but it wasn’t just us—our guests couldn’t stop raving about the impeccable service and exceptional food. The cocktail hour and Viennese hour were truly an experience in and of themselves—words can’t even do it justice. It wasn’t just an event; it was an unforgettable experience that left everyone talking.
As a bride and groom, we were each assigned personal attendants, and I honestly can't imagine our day without them. My attendant was with me every step of the way, ensuring everything from holding my dress to carrying my lipstick for touch-ups. She even found a curling iron when the wind was giving my hair trouble, which went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. She felt like family!
The Lannin’s staff didn’t just “manage” the event—they took it to another level. They coordinated with us in advance on favors and the seating chart, managing details I never even considered. We had a lot of more unique personal details and they welcomed it all. It’s clear that they aren’t just a venue; they’re a full-service team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

I never thought I’d be writing a review like this, but after our experience, I feel others deserve to know
Our experience with Lannin was beyond disappointing. We weren’t asking fo...
r an immediate refund we simply asked if they would work with us. We requested to move our event to another available date nearly 10 months in advance. They refused.
We then asked if the $15,000 we had already paid could be applied to another event, such as a baby shower or a christening. Again, we were told no. There was absolutely no willingness to work with us or offer any reasonable solution.
Instead, Lannin kept the entire $15,000. We understand that contracts exist, but we also believe customer service, compassion, and professionalism should matter. We were hoping for some flexibility or even a reasonable compromise, but none was offered.
What made the situation even worse was the way we were treated. Bobby’s attitude was, in my experience, rude, dismissive, and disrespectful. As someone who was pregnant and already under an incredible amount of stress, the way we were spoken to made an already heartbreaking situation so much worse.
This experience left us feeling like once they had our money, there was no interest in working with us in any way even though we gave nearly 10 months’ notice and offered multiple reasonable alternatives.
I’m sharing our experience so others can make an informed decision before booking. Read every line of your contract carefully, and understand that if your plans unexpectedly change, our experience was that there was no flexibility, no compassion, and no willingness to work toward a solution. I hope no one else has to go through what we did.

Our July 12, 2025 wedding at The Lannin was nothing short of spectacular, and we cannot recommend this venue highly enough. From the moment we began planning to the last dance of t...
he night, every detail was handled with unparalleled professionalism and care.
The staff at The Lannin are truly exceptional. Before we booked, Emma was easy to talk to and not pushy about anything, which took away some pressure that other venues may give to book. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the entire process, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. On the day of the wedding, their seamless coordination and genuine warmth made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the celebration. When we arrived to the venue, staff was literally waiting at the curb with our signature drinks in hand awaiting our arrival. Our guests consistently commented on how well-cared for they felt, a testament to the team's dedication. Anastasia was one of the attendants who always made sure I had a full drink and attended to literally every need I could think of.
And the food – simply amazing! The culinary experience at The Lannin exceeded all our expectations. From the lavish cocktail hour, which featured an incredible array of stations and passed bites, to the perfectly executed dinner, every dish was a masterpiece. Our guests are still raving about the quality and variety of the cuisine, truly making it a highlight of the evening.
A special shout-out must go to Moe. His communication and coordination from a month out to the day after the wedding was outstanding. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating, guiding us through every decision with expertise and a reassuring demeanor. Moe's dedication ensured that our vision came to life flawlessly, and we are so grateful for his invaluable support.
The Lannin itself is a stunning venue, offering a perfect blend of modern elegance and timeless charm. It provided the ideal backdrop for our dream wedding. We were able to take gorgeous photos in front of the fountain off of the patio and in the front of the building with the gorgeous flowers and beautiful entrance as the backdrop. If you're looking for a truly luxurious and stress-free wedding experience with incredible food and a dedicated team, The Lannin is the perfect choice.

eally just adds such an amazing touch. There were so many amazing things about the Lannin, from the food to the service, the beauty of the venue. There was not one complaint about the food. I have family members on my side and my husband’s side still calling us and telling us how amazing the Lannin was, and we got married over a month ago! The cocktail hour food was unmatched and better than any cocktail hour quality that I’ve ever seen at a wedding. The bridal attendants and groom attendants were absolutely incredible. I was not at all even “allowed” to hold the train of my dress, or my flowers or my purse because the attendants would not let me even lift a finger! I constantly had a refill of my drink every time it was somewhat empty or when I went back to my table, and my husband as well. Emma was the first person we spoke with and she was fantastic; so helpful and accommodating. Later in the process, we met with Moe who went over the menu with us and final steps. They were both so beyond responsive on email (and we all know how rare that is in the industry), let us make special requests for drinks we wanted to have brought in for the day of. My husband and I were able to pick whatever cocktail selections we wanted to have them brought up to the bridal suite so we could eat up there and take a break from the chaos of the day. They even let us take the rest of it home! Not one thing the entire day went awry and I feel like that’s so rare to hear that nothing at all went wrong! The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable and the place itself was absolutely stunning! I can see the Lannin becoming Long Island’s news hotspot for weddings. There just aren’t enough words to express how glad I am that we picked them as our venue.

raphy. The place smells so good too. I worked with Emma and Moe who helped me with all my questions from selecting the venue to reminders of what to bring the day of. They were so helpful every step of the way. But what absolutely wowed me was how special my husband and I felt on the day of the wedding. Not just us, my entire family felt like royalty. All the details were accounted for and I can imagine even if I forgot my wedding dress, Moe would've found me another one on the spot! My bridal attendants were absolutely phenomenal. A month later, and my guests are still reminding me of how amazing the food was, especially during cocktail hour. I can't wait to return to their restaurant at The Union to enjoy their food again.

the staff helped to make my wedding a dream come true. They were always available to discuss any inquiries from the start and helped make the set up process go with ease. During the wedding, the staff were all attentive to the needs of ALL of my guests, not just the bridal party. The bride and groom attendants were phenomenal and made sure that we had anything we needed before we even knew we needed it! Once again we cannot emphasize how accommodating they were with every aspect of the night. The food was one of the major highlights of the wedding. From the extensive cocktail hour menu, to the divine meals served during the reception, the food blew everyones minds away. The Viennese Hour had to be my ultimate favorite part of the wedding. With 7 different dessert stations, with such variety of desserts, I was in AWE. The Lannin prioritized us first and foremost, and exceeded my expectations in every way.

h 2024 and we booked this venue in October 2023. We knew from that moment we were in amazing hands. If you're looking for wow factor then look no further than here. They really don't miss a trick. The sheer attention to detail amazed everyone. The food was delicious and I wish there was more time to try it all. All the food was beautifully presented, and hot food was hot and cold food was cold. The chef was amazing and made sure everything was outstanding. We had an amazing cocktail hour. The Viennese hour was to die for. An entire room devoted to dessert and anything you can dream of was there. Popcorn, pastries, donuts, chocolate fountain. You name it they had it. It was beyond my wildest dreams. The staff was outstanding as well, made sure everyone's needs were taken care of which is so important at a catered affair. All my guests were amazed and are saying it is one of the best weddings they've ever been too. They couldn't get over how delicious everything was and how amazing the service was too. Moe and his team really guided us and helped us through the entire process and in return they produced an outstanding party. They were super organized and 10 steps ahead of us the entire time. We highly reccomend the Lannin because in return they provided us with a wedding of a lifetime.

When we booked The Lannin for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding, we knew we took a bit of a risk as it was under heavy construction. That was in May of 2023, but we had complet...
e faith in the staff and ownership of Bobby, Tom, Moe & Emma. Everything that we were told would be done during the renovation was done and then even some great surprises. The wedding was held in July of 2024 and all I can say is WOW!!! We had an absolutely awesome evening. So much planning and hope that this gets done as pictured and it was even better! From the absolutely gorgeous outdoor ceremony, to maybe the best cocktail hour we have ever attended, outstanding dinner and constant attention to every little detail, The Lannin was and is a HOMERUN! The icing on the cake is to watch the party itself, see the reactions of your guests, notice the entire party was still on the dance floor when the lights came up and most importantly, the non stop smiles on the faces of the Bride & Groom. If you are looking for a brand new venue on Long Island, one that can do it all including an outdoor setting or even an indoor setting, a venue that has a staff that cares and an Executive Chef that is extremely meticulous to every food detail, then you must visit The Lannin! Kudos again go out to Bobby, Tom, Moe & Emma, we will NEVER forget the evening of our daughter and son-in law's wedding and surely never forget the care you all gave to us and treated us as if we were family.

wly renovated, the decor is absolutely stunning and our guests raved about how classy the venue felt. Communication before the event was great, and we knew we were in good hands! We loved that they handle everything in house, so we didn't have to worry about logistics.
I got ready at the venue with my bridal party and the staff was so kind, attentive, and professional on our special day. They are a well oiled machine which made for a very stress free day! We did bridal party pictures on their stunning grounds with the beautiful fountain in the background - it was truly magazine worthy! After taking pictures, I realized that the train on my dress was dirty. See pictures attached of Moe and staff who scrubbed my dress before our ceremony so it looked brand new! They went above and beyond to make sure the day was seamless and we were happy. I also have to give a huge shoutout to Joanna and Anastasia who were so lovely and truly made our day so seamless and easy!
Our guests absolutely RAVED about the food. I come from a Greek family that really cares about food and they were absolutely impressed. The amount of cocktail hour stations is amazing and guests loved how many options they had in the cocktail hour. People thought that was the main course! The staff also made sure that the groom and I had eaten throughout the night. Our main course was steakhouse-worthy and the service was incredibly attentive!
Most of all, our wedding was so FUN and stress free thanks to the staff at The Lannin. The ballroom is absolutely stunning and kept the party going all night long. We had so many guests tell us it was truly the best wedding they ever went to and we feel so lucky to have had the most important day of our lives at The Lannin! I cannot recommend and thank the staff at The Lannin enough!!
