We had our wedding at The Mansion at Glen Cove on 8.22.26, and we truly had an amazing experience!
From the beginning, our Account Manager, Astrid, made choosing The Mansion an ea...sy decision. She was supportive, professional, and welcoming and made us feel like we were in good hands.
Our Wedding Planner, Meghan, truly made it all happen. Meghan and I communicated almost daily throughout the planning process. No matter how many questions I had (and there were A LOT!), she always made sure they were answered. She constantly checked in, kept everything organized, and somehow made wedding planning feel simple and effortless—which we all know it is not! Meghan was professional, patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about our wedding. Our day went perfectly, and she was a huge reason why.
Astrid and Meghan make a great team. Although most of my communication was with Meghan, everyone was always on the same page. Nothing was ever miscommunicated, which was so important to me.
Even the accounting team was great! Whenever I called, someone almost always answered, and if they didn't, I would receive an email response within hours.
Our Maître D’, Ashley, was also amazing. She was extremely attentive and made sure not only my husband and I had everything we needed, but our families did too.
One of my biggest stresses was the weather because I REALLY wanted an outdoor ceremony. With the possibility of rain, we ultimately moved it indoors, and it worked out perfectly. Our guests stayed cool and comfortable, and then the sun came out afterward! We were still able to take our pictures outside, which made me so happy because the grounds are absolutely beautiful.
Our guests LOVED the cocktail hour and reception. The food was honestly 10/10, and people are still talking about it. My family can definitely be food critics, so when they're impressed, I know the food was good!
The drinks deserve their own mention. I wanted a blueberry vodka lemonade as one of our specialty cocktails, and they went above and beyond by muddling fresh blueberries into the drinks. They were SO good! The cocktails were great and definitely not watered down, which I've experienced at other weddings.
For our wedding cake, we chose lemon raspberry, and it was such a great combination. The buttercream may honestly be the best I've ever tasted! The chef was also very accommodating and easy to work with.
We also had our After Party in the Speakeasy, and our guests LOVED it. It has such a cool vintage, historic feel and was the perfect way to keep the night going. There was pool, foosball, shuffleboard and plenty for everyone to do.
Having the hotel right there was another huge plus. The rooms were clean, and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. They made check-in easy, made sure our guests received their welcome bags, and were helpful throughout their stay. Having everything in one place made the entire weekend so much easier.
Overall, we truly loved our experience at The Mansion at Glen Cove. The property is beautiful, the food and drinks were amazing, and we felt taken care of throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend The Mansion, especially if you have the opportunity to work with Meghan and Astrid. They helped make our wedding day unforgettable!
