The Mansion at Oyster Bay

We spoke to and toured dozens of venues, and not one was as laidback, inviting, and well-designed as The Mansion at Oyster Bay. Jennifer is ridiculously responsive and a straight shooter. Mike, the maitre d, puts everyone at ease immediately with his organized approach and warm personality. The food is tasty and plentiful. The dance floor is massive, the building and its surroundings make for incredible pictures, and the staff goes above and beyond. I dealt with hundreds of issues during the course of planning this wedding—not one came from the Mansion.

After looking at several venues for my daughter’s wedding, we chose The Mansion at Oyster Bay. It was the right choice! The wedding was magical. The entire staff worked together to make this day one we would not forget. My guests raved about the food, the charm of each room, and the helpfulness of the staff. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you again for giving my daughter and her husband the wedding they dreamed of.

My husband and I can’t rave enough about how phenomenal our wedding was at the Mansion!!! The planning process was seamless and our coordinator, Emily, was always more than happy to help us with whatever we needed, and was such a pleasure to work with! Our day-of experience was beyond what we had imagined, and the most noteworthy part was how excellent the service was throughout the entire day, for both us and our guests. We felt ridiculously spoiled and our maitre d, Mike, anticipated everything we needed before we even thought about it, and was so sweet and helpful! The day couldn’t have been more special and not only did we enjoy it thoroughly, but we continue to hear that our guests felt the same way. Could not possibly recommend the Mansion more highly!!

The mansion at Oyster bay is THE place to get married. From the staff, to the food, to the grounds, everything was PERFECT. Jennifer, Mike, and Stephanie were AMAZING and made our wedding easy and everything we wanted. Jennifer and Mike made sure every single thing we wanted we got. They both worked so hard to make this the most perfect day. Stephanie, the bridal attendant was outstanding! She also worked so hard all day making sure everything went our way. She even followed us around with my phone taking pictures!! The entire staff at the mansion is amazing. Get married here!! You will not regret it.

Can not say enough great things about this venue. My husband and I are both so happy with how our wedding turned out. The staff was absolutely incredible, VERY attentive and helpful the entire night. They went above and beyond to make all our dreams come true. My bridal attendant Essie stayed by my side the entire night and I am so thankful to her. Jennifer is so amazing and Mike the Maitra D as well. Wedding planning with the Mansion was so smooth and I truly am so appreciative for all they did for us.

amazing, amazing, amazing. Working with everyone at the mansion at oyster bay was easy and seamless. I truly felt that everyone was invested in my wedding and wanted everything to go exactly how I wanted. Working with Jennifer for all the planning was smooth and wonderful - she was a joy to work with. Working with Mike on all of the details for the specific day and for the actual night of my wedding was so fun! He was amazing and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted. Estee was so attentive and so sweet to work with. The food was amazing!! We got so many compliments on how great everything was! The actual wedding night could not have been any more perfect. Everyone worked so hard to make sure my day was amazing, I did not need to worry about a single thing. I had the time of my life and I recommend that everyone gets married here!! The vibe was PERFECT! Loved every second :) Huge thank you to Mike, Jennifer and Estee for giving me the most amazing day.

We just got married on 10.13.23 at the Mansion at Oyster Bay. We can not say enough great things about the venue, staff, and food. Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Jennifer was our sales manager, Mike was our Maitre D, and Estee was our bridal attendant. We can’t thank them enough for all the hard work and patience on the wedding day and throughout the past year to make our wedding so special. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the most magical day. Our friends and family were absolutely blown away by the venue, food, and staff. We will be recommending the MOB to all friends and family that are planning weddings.

Jennifer, Mike & Shannon were my ABSOLUTE DREAM TEAM! Jennifer was always available through the entire process for any questions or concerns! Mike was my Maitre d’ and Shannon was my Bridal Attendant and both of them were right by my side no matter what I needed or required! The entire staff at Lessings is nothing less than amazing! Thank you all for the amazing wedding that you all helped deliver on! I couldn’t have asked for a better team behind me as I embark on my new life as a married woman! 🩷 Much love to all!!!

The Mansion was the most perfect place to get married. Everyone loved the vibe, the food, and the drinks. Mike the maître d’ was absolutely amazing and Estee the bridal attendant was incredible. We truly had the best night of our lives.

We had an amazing wedding celebration at the Mansion. Emily was fabulous with her guidance putting together the event including the menu and Mike the Maitre D was amazing the night of the event. The food was tasted great, the venue ideal, and the service top notch. They did everything to make sure we were happy and our party turned out even better than we expected.

I first toured The Mansion at Oyster Bay in 2020 when my sister was looking for a wedding venue. While she didn’t end up going with the Mansion, I never forgot about it. It was absolutely beautiful and I loved Gary, the sales manager at the time. When it came to venue shopping for my wedding, I knew I had to go back and see it. We celebrated our wedding at The Mansion at Oyster Bay on 4/15/23, and we couldn’t be happier. When I walked into the ballroom, I truly couldn’t believe it was ours for the night. Mike, the Maitre’d and Natalie, the bridal attendant were awesome. They did everything in their power to ensure the day went as smoothly as possible. They’d check on us often to see if we needed anything to drink or eat, they guided us through the ceremony, cake cutting, etc. They even packed up food for us to take home. It was difficult to find the appetite and time to eat on our wedding day so we’ve really enjoyed trying all the different dishes this past week. Our guests only had positive things to say about the food and service. We really couldn’t have pictured the day going any better than it did.

The venue was absolutely beautiful, everything I wanted for our special day. Jennifer was our sales person and main contact, she was very patient and extremely helpful. Our Maitre d' Mike helped to make our day super smooth and everything went well. Enough can not be said about how delicious the food was! We went with the Gorgonzola Fondue Filet Mignon, Lemon Chicken, and Teriyaki Salmon. The passed desserts were a big hit (we have kids at the wedding and they loved it).

Thank you to the whole team at the Mansion for helping our wedding go off incredibly smoothly!! The Mansion is a beautiful venue with an incredible staff that were very helpful leading up to our wedding (though the sales person did change a few times, we worked closely with Emily who was kind, responsive and professional). They team they have the day of the wedding is nothing short of amazing, they have everything so coordinated to help make the day perfect (and a major shoutout to the lovely bridal attendant and MD). The food is incredible as well, and it is worth noting that the team was flexible and able to provide truly anything we asked. We would select this venue ten times over again!

The venue is stunning and everything ran so smoothly! The staff was great and the food is incredible - many of my guests have said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Highly recommend!

Although it seemed a little hectic leading up to our wedding with some salespeople and contact changes, the day of our wedding went so smooth and not a detail was missed. Mike the maitre'd and Natalie the bridal attendant were absolutely incredible. Anything that we needed, they handled or had already taken care of! There are not enough words to say how amazing the two of them were. All of our guests also said how great the rest of the staff was as well. Besides just being a beautiful venue, the service the day of the wedding was just impeccable.

Everything about our wedding was perfect. Staff, venue, food, execution. We had the wedding of our dreams and didn’t even need a wedding planner.

THANK YOU to the entire team at the Mansion at Oyster Bay for the wedding of our dreams!! Everything was beautiful, seamless, and beyond anything that we could have ever imagined. The attention to detail from the entire staff(especially Mike & Estee x 2) exceeded every expectation we had. The night was one that we will truly never forget! All of our guests are raving about the staff, food, and beautiful venue. We can’t thank you enough!!

To say our wedding day was perfect is an absolute understatement! From the time I arrived at the Mansion I was treated like a "queen". The attentiveness that Natalie and Mike showered on me (us) was beyond my expectations. I never had to worry about a thing! Our guests were overwhelmed with the beauty of the Mansion, the cocktail hour, the food, and the waitstaff. Everyone went above and beyond to make our day spectacular. We received so many compliments on the day and we are still getting emails saying it was the best wedding they had been to! Your attention to detail, planning our wedding for us, and making sure that all the little changes we made were executed was outstanding. I (we) can't thank you all enough for making our wedding the best day of our lives! We are looking forward to planning another event with you in the future. Thank you again!

I am a 10/27/2022 Bride. We had the wedding of our dreams at The Mansion at Oyster Bay. We are still raving about how great the staff is. Mike and Natalie make your day run as smooth as it can get. They have a way to know what you need before you do, a big shoutout to them. Estee was the last manager we worked with, she was awesome. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food is to die for and you get UNREAL photographs on their grounds. Completely in love with our choice.

My husband and I had our wedding celebration at The Mansion at Oyster Bay and we could not be happier with how the event went! Beyond the location being absolutely stunning and the food being absolutely delicious, the team led by Emily and Mike were A+. They were incredibly attentive and detail oriented then other venues and their communication leading up to the event was fantastic - especially in terms of talking through all logistics from event flow, set up, and take down.

I could not recommend The Mansion at Oyster Bay enough. From the wedding coordinator (Estee), the maitre'd (Mike), and bridal attendant (Estei) to all the staff here, they truly made our dreams come true! They were so easy to work with, found solutions to any issues we bought up, and kept us stress-free and were extremely professional. Everything ran very smoothly and communication was fantastic. We had a few requests prior to the day of that they were able to accommodate, which made us feel truly special. What I appreciated the most was that they were able to include an extra translation in Chinese for my family on the menu, which really meant a lot of me and my family. I would 100% recommend this venue for it's historic charm and courteous staff.

My wedding was an absolute dream, and it would not have been possible without the staff at The Mansion at Oyster Bay. Steve, Skylar, Mike and Natalie were absolutely amazing to work with and helped to make our day perfect and run so smoothly. The venue itself was beautiful--it has so much charm and character, making it such a unique place to get married. Our guests have now mentioned to us several times that this was some of the best food they have ever had at a wedding. I can honestly say that there is nothing that I would change or do differently. Highly recommend!

We fell in love with the mansion instantly and it was the first and last venue we toured for our May 2022 wedding! We worked with Gary and then Doug, and both were amazing and super responsive! They guided us through the process and made everything easy for us. Mike our Maitre D was incredible, he was professional, organized, and upbeat. I never ended up hiring a day of coordinator, Mike helped me plan the timeline of the day and was there for us with whatever we needed the day of. Este my bridal attendant never left my side, she was a dream from the morning until the after party! The rest of the staff worked so hard to bring everything together and truly made the day magical. It unexpectedly rained and Mike and the team shifted everything inside quickly and made it look beautiful!! All of our guests loved everything from the cocktail hour, food, bar, and service and said it was the most romantic and stunning venue they’ve ever been to. I don’t even have the words to thank you all enough! You made it a day we will cherish forever.

If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing. My husband and I planned our wedding over the course of three years due to the pandemic, with multiple wedding dates, but Emily's attention never waivered. She always responded promptly and talked me through the changes and updates along the way. On the day of, I was so grateful to have Mike and staff by my side (including the best bridal attendant ever). I can't wait to recommend this place to everyone.

Wow – we cannot say enough positive things about this venue. My husband keeps saying to me ‘everyone needs to get married here’ and he is so right. Everything was absolutely PERFECT! Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with from the moment we toured the mansion the first day. Mike, our maître D was spot on – he made the day run so smoothly, it was so enjoyable for us. Este, my bridal attendant, was phenomenal!! Anything and everything that I needed, she was right there the entire day. I got some dirt on the bottom of my dress that she was able to get out and make it look good as new! And when I forgot my garter, she searched all around the mansion to come up with a solution so that we could still do the bouquet/garter toss! Thank you to the mansion for making our dream wedding day become a reality!!!

We had an amazing experience at the Mansion at Oyster Bay. Our wedding day ran like clockwork because of Mike, who couldn’t have been more professional, and we were able to have fun because we knew everything was taken care of. The venue itself was beautiful and the food was amazing. We’re so happy we picked the Mansion for our wedding and would definitely recommend them to any couple considering having their wedding there.

This venue was absolutely incredible in all aspects. We also held the ceremony on site and it made the day transition smoothly and quickly (too quickly). The Lessings company puts out a fantastic cocktail hour, dinner and passed desserts that had our guests over fed and happy. The service on alcohol was top shelf and not lightly poured. The people that were helping prep and day of were nothing but helpful and responsive to the million and one questions a couple/ family there of getting married have. 10/10 would recommend

I could not be happier with our experience with the venue and the staff at the Mansion at Oyster Bay. Emily, the manager, was warm, accommodating, and always responsive during our 3 years in planning (courtesy of many Covid cancellations). We finally held our wedding last weekend, and the compliments on the mansion were never-ending! The beauty of the venue speaks for itself, and their attention to detail and the polished service were the cherry on top. Now if only we could find another excuse to throw another party here. . .

"Your venue was so homey," "Absolutely Amazing," "I loved your wedding venue, I felt like I was at home except a really really beautiful home!" These are a few comments we received after our wedding at The Mansion. When we booked we fell in love. The checkered floors and antique fixtures, not to mention all the food choices. Although we loved the venue what sold us was Gary the director of sales at The Mansion who gave us our tour. He was so personable the day of our tour all the way up to our wedding. We were so happy with planning and trusted our wedding to the best! In the weeks leading up we were in constant contact with the venue especially Mike who made everything we wanted in decorations come true. On the day of we were greeted by the staff with a huge warm welcome. Natalie helped us the day of with her bag of goodies! Safety pin? tide pen? espresso martini? she's got it! We had a the best time and it is exactly what we wanted for our special day!

Back in 2019, we immediately booked our wedding at the Mansion after the first visit. The friendly staff, gorgeous location, and feeling we got immediately upon arrival, made this a no brainer. Once the pandemic came, we knew we’d have to make the tough decision of postponing. During this stressful time, the staff at the Mansion remained pleasant, patient, and accommodating. Gary, Emily, and staff made rescheduling a breeze. We finally got to celebrate our wedding on October 15th, 2021 and it was well worth the wait. Several guests have told us it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to! From start to finish, it was a dream. The moment we arrived, my bridal attendant Natalie jumped into action. She was AMAZING the entire night, making sure we had everything we needed. Our Maitre d’, Michael was fantastic as well! We highly recommend The Mansion at Oyster Bay and cannot thank them enough for the wedding of our dreams.

Our Mansion at Oyster Bay wedding review for 10/29/21…where do we even start?! This venue beyond exceeded our expectations!! Between the cozy and elegant ambiance, amazing food, top shelf drinks, attentive staff- there was not one stone left unturned. First and foremost Gary from start to finish was incredible to work with. Extremely responsive, accommodating, and honest. Going back from our original booking in 2019 for a 2020 wedding, to rescheduling to 2021, Gary remained consistent and patient throughout the entire process, even under the most difficult pressures. He fulfilled every request and upheld his promise that or wedding day would be nothing less than spectacular. Michael was fantastic! He was the person that made sure our day was set up exactly how we wanted it. Between the tables, favors, decor, cigar table- he didn’t miss a beat and followed through with every request. Everything was executed so beautifully. He even kept the bar flowing with top notch espresso martinis for the bridal party before the party started! We truly felt like king and queen for a day, and it was such a treat to have the entire venue to ourselves. Even before the start of the event, it was so wonderful for the bridal party and immediate family to fully and intimately experience the venue and bridal suite before the guests arrived. Last but not least, Natalie the bridal attendant was an absolute STAR!!! She went above and beyond on our wedding day to make sure we had the best experience possible. She started with us during the professional photos and was constantly adjusting my dress and veil so it was perfect. She made sure the photographer took advantage of all of the best areas around the venue and didn’t forget the important shots. The most important part- during the beginning of cocktail hour, Natalie put Jim and I in the bridal suite to eat privately. From our signature cocktails, to the passed hour d’overs, to every item at each food station- she didn’t miss a thing! During the reception, she brought us our 3 menu selections to try. She made sure our glasses never were empty. At the end of the night, she even wrapped up the food we didn’t finish, as well as the cake and passed desserts. Everything was labeled and ready to go. These are the little things during the busy day that your brain can’t even think of- and Natalie truly was 5 steps ahead from start to finish. We can confidently say we ate everything at our wedding! Overall, from the presentations to the quality and taste of the food- 5 stars! Bartenders worked quickly between drinks and shots and kept the wait times for guests to a minimum. Everyone was raving about the food, top shelf liquor, and impeccable service. The Mansion at Oyster Bay went above and beyond in making our day extraordinary special and seamless. We thank you whole heartedly and looking forward to attending future events here!!

When my fiancé and I toured the Mansion, we immediately fell in love. It’s gorgeous inside and out and has amazing grounds. I truly think this is one of the most beautiful wedding venues on Long Island. Emily was our main point of contact, but we worked with Gary as well. We were originally supposed to get married June 2020 but postponed an entire year out. They were very accommodating all through COVID and helped ease my concerns. I’m a very type A bride and would call constantly. They always made sure to answer my questions and help with planning. The day of the wedding flowed incredibly smooth. We did not hire a wedding planner and we did not need one! Mike was our Maitre D and he was amazing. We dropped off all our of wedding décor two days before and Mike reviewed everything with us. He ensured everything would go exactly where we wanted it. The day from beginning to end was amazing. It truly was perfect. The food was incredible. All our guests commented on how delicious everything was. You are in great hands with the Mansion and with Lessing’s. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

When we first visited The Mansion at Oyster Bay back in July of 2019, we were blown away by the class and elegance of the Mansion. Leading our tour of the Mansion was the kindest, most sincere man, who we would come to appreciate and respect over the next two years to a level that cannot possibly be expressed, Gary Schneider. Gary went over everything with us about how our day would go in a way that allowed us to live the day two years before it even happened. It was more than a sales pitch, it was a story, a story from someone that we could tell was genuinely excited for us and absolutely had our best interest in mind and at heart. After the initial tour we were convinced that this was the venue for us. Originally, our wedding date was October 17, 2020 however, sadly, COVID and the world it created had other ideas about that. Gary was in constant communication with us throughout this difficult time and kept us calm and assured us that a new date was in the books if we wanted it. We pushed the decision to the end of August, 2020 and with a heavy heart made the official call to postpone. We were nervous as we had heard stories from other future brides and grooms about how their venues and vendors had changed their prices or imposed other difficulties on them for postponing. However, we could not have had a more different experience to the ones we were hearing about. Gary took care of the change immediately and we were not penalized or forced to make any changes whatsoever. It was the easiest phone call we made in one of the most difficult and upsetting times in our relationship. Our wedding took place on September 25, 2021 and the day was perfection. While we owe a HUGE thank you to Gary for EVERYTHING he did for us in the lead up to the big day, we owe another one to Michael, our maître d', for his amazing work executing our vision on the day of; Michael delivered above and beyond! He had an amazing understanding of what we had in mind and some great ideas and suggestions about how we could improve the flow of the evening that turned out to be amazing. On the day of the wedding he was there from the beginning of the afternoon to the end of the night and we didn’t have to think once because we had complete confidence in him and he didn’t disappoint. One thing I didn’t know I needed, but now know I could have never lived without, was Natalie. EVERY bride needs a Natalie! Natalie was my bridal attendant, and was amazing. She is chipper, kind hearted, and is amazing at what she does. She was there for me from the minute I arrived at the Mansion to the minute we left that evening. She kept me calm and assisted my maid of honor and I in every way possible. Without Natalie my maid of honor probably would have left pulling her hair out and cursing me, but Natalie handled it all with a smile and level of care that made me feel like she was someone I had known forever. Now, on to the one thing that can make or break a wedding: the food. And let me tell you the food at the Mansion does not disappoint! The Chef did an AMAZING job cooking some of the best food any of our guests had ever had. The cocktail hour stations were amazing and the staff even allowed us to create our own Polish based station for cocktail hour, which was a big hit! The kitchen staff cooked so many diverse foods and all of it was delicious. Choosing The Mansion at Oyster as our venue was the best decision my husband and I made throughout the entire wedding planning process!

Planning a wedding is hard - planning a wedding during a pandemic is almost impossible, but the staff at the Mansion at Oyster Bay made it painless and an unforgettable night! We had our Vow Renewal & Wedding Anniversary Celebration at the mansion on 9/24 after needing to reschedule. Throughout the planning process both Emily & Gary were amazing to work with and answered all our questions while being incredibly accommodating along the way. Fast forward to the night of and the mansion staff absolutely killed it! Natalie our bridal attendant was incredible taking care of every little detail including helping me print our my vows 5 mins before the ceremony. Mike was also on top of everything and kept the night moving along without us needing to worry at all. Our guests cannot stop raving about the beautiful venue and the incredible food - from cocktail hour through to the after party! Would give 10 stars if I could and highly recommend the Mansion for your celebrations!

This place is amazing. I would a thousand times over recommend this beautiful venue to everyone! It’s not your typical modern Long Island venue. It’s classy, warm, and just simply gorgeous. We had our ceremony outside and the gardens and back patio are just stunning. Our day went unbelievably smooth, the staff is on point at all times. My maitre’d Mike was so sweet and was there at all times for us. He helped us set up the day before, was there with anything we needed the day of, and even helped with some things we had left behind a few days after. Natalie my bridal attendant was spectacular. The kindest, sweetest person and such a joy to have by my side all day. She always made sure my dress was sitting just right for the pictures, was always giving confidence boosting speeches when I got nervous, and was a HUGE help at the end of the night helping my parents carry everything we brought back to their cars. It’s unbelievable how truly amazing this venue and staff were on my wedding day. Thank you for making our day feel like a dream<3

My husband and I got married at the Mansion in early September. We could not recommend the Mansion more highly. When we had to postpone our 2020 wedding due to COVID , Gary and his team went above and beyond to help us reschedule. Gary even reached out to us with his personal number to ensure we could reach him whenever we needed him. The entire team at the Mansion was professional, responsive and supportive through the planning process. The day of the wedding our wedding coordinator Natalie was a true angel. She made sure we always had food and drinks and even boxed all our cocktail hour food for us to take home since we were so busy talking to our guests during the cocktail hour. Michael the maitre de made sure the night flowed seamlessly. The mansion itself is so beautiful and well kept. Our guests raved about the food and entire experience at the mansion. We HIGHLY recommend working with the Lessings team and the Mansion at Oyster Bay if you want a beautiful setting serviced by professional, warm and knowledgeable people!

Meticulous, welcoming, professional, attentive, a true pleasure are just a few words that come to mind when describing our experience at the Mansion at Oyster Bay. My husband and I had our wedding on June 26, 2021 after postponing from our original June 2020 date. We postponed our wedding back in April 2020 due to COVID and Gary could not have been more accommodating. He made us feel at ease and affirmed that we were making the right decision. Gary and the entire staff at the mansion are top notch. The food is phenomenal and the service is unmatched. I cannot stop raving about our Maitre’d Michael and Bridal Attendant Stephanie. Truly the best of the best! They do not miss a beat - any time my husband, myself or bridal party needed something, they were right there already one step ahead of us. Our guests are still talking about how impressed they were with the overall experience. They go above and beyond to make your day nothing less than perfect. Not to mention the Gold Coast ambiance of the mansion makes you feel like you’re in a fairytale. When they tell you the mansion is your home the day of your event, they mean it. I cannot wait to be able to book another event here. THANK YOU for making our wedding dreams come true!

I'll keep this short and to the point! Everything about this venue is beautiful, especially if you want a more 1920s rustic glam instead of a more traditional LI banquet hall. We worked with Gary way back in 2019 up until our postponed 2021 wedding. He was incredible from day 1 all the way through the wedding day. Given the circumstances of the world, he was supportive and worked with us to ensure our wedding day went as smooth and as perfect as possible. On the day of, the Maitre D and the bridal attendant were also spot-on and so very helpful. In addition to the beauty of the mansion, the food was great, and the drinks were flowing all night long (aka no long lines at the bars to get drinks!!). I could go on, but like I said I wanted to keep it short - have your wedding here!!!

: I do not know where to begin. We LOVED The Mansion and all the employees before the pandemic, and honestly, we were blown away at how helpful and absolutely accommodating the team was. We had no problem rescheduling and 10months later, we are glad that we did. The primary person who we worked with was Gary Schinder, he truly made us, and my family feel like our wedding was his number one priority. He was always available with any question we had, and was always willing to assist with all of the curveballs we had to face with the pandemic. When it came time to rescheduling our day, Gary was so incredible that he even had us to keep our original date, just in case. Later on we got to meet Michael, the maître d’, and was hands down INCREDIBLE!!! Gary, Michael, and all of the staff at the Mansion were unbelievable to work and I honestly cannot say how fortunate we were to work with such an amazing team. On the day of our wedding, the staff were so attentive, caring, kind, and provided quick service whenever it was needed. My bridal attendant was so beyond helpful, attentive and overall exceed expectations! Michael was very attentive to my husband and always made sure he had a drink and had enough to eat, while also being able to keep the entire event on schedule so we had plenty of time for dancing. My bridal attendant was Essie and words cannot describe how much I LOVED HER!!! Essie was truly so attentive, helpful, kind, caring, and well more than one-step ahead. From the moment that we got there to the end of the night she was always there for whatever I needed, whether it was a drink, food, and fixing the bustle. The food at cocktail hour, dinner and dessert was amazing!!! The presentation and consistency of the food was certainly noticed by our guests and something we continued to receive compliments on from our guests even weeks later. The next day, when we went back to grab the various personal items we brought for our reception, Michael and Gary were there to greet us and were so welcoming with a huge smile on their faces. All of our stuff that we had to pick up was cleaned and packed away so neatly, I was very impressed. Michael and Gary asked us how my parents and we felt about the night and really wanted to make sure we had the time of our lives, which showed that they really cared about us. I cannot recommend the Mansion at Oyster Bay enough, this is your venue I guarantee!

The Mansion at Oyster Bay is truly an amazing venue. We got married there this weekend and the entire experience could not have been better. We were one of the many couples that had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021 and The Mansion could not have been more accommodating during this tough time. As we heard horror stories about other venues and how they treated couples during the pandemic, we felt so grateful to be in such understanding and wonderful hands. Gary Schneider is absolutely incredible-he knows how to calm even the most stressed out bride and also how to plan a wedding so that all your dreams come true. Michael, our Maitre 'd, was absolutely fantastic and my bridal attendant Stephanie was amazing as well. The entire night was so seamless and easy and our guests absolutely kept raving about the location and being able to spread out throughout the Mansion since there is only 1 wedding held there at a time. We had our afterparty on the roof deck and that was a big hit as well. We are so grateful that we finally got to have the wedding of our dreams and the Mansion at Oyster Bay is absolutely the reason!

Our daughter, Julianne, and son in law's, Gary, wedding reception at The Mansion of Oyster Bay was more beautiful than we could ever imagine and we are forever grateful for Gary and Michael's professionalism and ability to make us feel we are the most important people planning a wedding from the first day we went to the Mansion to the day after when we returned. The wedding was planned before Covid, but during the height of Covid, Gary always made us feel at ease and suggested we pick another date "just in case" to assure they always had the safe yet perfect wedding that they wanted. We are so grateful for Gary's suggestion as we moved the date to July 2021! From the initial interaction, to Covid discussions, to the actual planning and finally to the wedding day, Gary and Micheal never wavered on making us feel we were the most important family they had ever worked with. The Mansion on the day of the wedding reception was more beautiful than we could ever have imagined. Covid never impacted the Mansion and was as beautiful as the first day we saw the Mansion in 2019. The food presentation was picture perfect and our guests continue to tell us how incredibly delicious it all was. The staff were always there for whatever we and our guests needed from the moment we entered the mansion to the moment we left. Gary and Michael were an incredible team that you felt all through the process believed in what they did and truly wanted to make sure the wedding is everything you had hoped for and more. When we returned the following day, Gary and Micheal were there to greet us and were as happy for us as we were. They loved hearing about our day and sharing in our joy. We will ALWAYS be forever grateful and thankful for this incredible day our daughter, Julianne, and son in law, Gary, had on their wedding day at The Mansion of Oyster Bay. John and Eilee

I do not even know where to begin when it comes to working with Gary Schneider at the Mansion at Oyster Bay. We booked the venue the first time we walked in and it was not even set up for viewings as we saw it during the height of COVID in June 2020. That speaks to how special this place truly is. Gary loves what he does and takes such pride in the venue- it was no question for us! I did not have an ounce of stress the entire process because I knew the team at the mansion would deliver. We met Michael later on in the process and he was a true gem- professional, accommodating, passionate…ugh, I could go on forever. Natalie was my bridal attendant and, as expected, she was just as wonderful! I would not change a single thing about my entire day. I also wish I could see Gary, Michael, and Natalie on a regular basis because they are each a ray of positivity you want in your life, especially on your special day. Do not think twice, this is your venue.

The mansion at oyster bay was absolutely amazing. We picked our date right before Covid hit and the entire time they kept us updated with policies and allowed us to pick a back up date if Covid restrictions were still in place on our big day. The actual venue is beautiful but the staff is also amazing. They say yes to whatever you want to make your wedding day dreams come true and pull through and make it happen. Absolutely incredible experience from the food to the service to the space. Would definitely recommend.

My father passed away in April 2020 and we weren't able to have a wake or funeral for him. When we planned his Memorial Mass and luncheon for June 3, 2021, we went straight to The Mansion. I had attended a Baby Shower there in 2019 and absolutely loved it! Adriana and Michael were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL to work with. Due to the nature of the occasion, they were so respectful and did everything they could to make my father's Memorial as special as possible. Every guest commented just how beautiful the venue and grounds were and how delicious the food was. I have three daughters and hope to celebrate all of their special days at the Mansion!

I had my kids’ B’nai Mitzvah here on 5/31/21. We had to cancel our original venue due to covid (last year) and once things started to re- open, The Mansion was the perfect venue! While other places were looking to make up for their losses, The Mansion was so accomodating and flexible, making our “plan b” celebration better than we could have imagined!! As the covid- restrictions lessened, Ariana kept me informed and allowed us to bring more of our guests and vendors in, right up to the week of the event. The place was the perfect size, beautifully appoibted and allowed for both indoor and outdoor (covered) seating for distancing, and the food was delicious! The quiche and bacon/buffet items were so good I wanted to take the rest home! The Mansion and the people we worked with (Ariana&Mike) could not have been more pleasant to deal with especially under the stress of covid and trying to plan a party so quickly. I highly recommend this venue for any type of event- and definitely go with the bacon (well-done)!! You won’t regret it!

I had my son's first communion here. Ariana and Michael were amazing! They did an exceptional job. The party was beautiful, food was amazing and my guests could not stop talking about it. I highly recommend this venue ❤

My wife and I got married here in April 2021 and in the uncertain period of COVID, we got our dream wedding. From the sales manager (Emily), to the food, to the bridal assistant (Kelly) and the Maitre'd (Michael), I can go on and on about how every aspect of the build up and the day of exceeded our expectations. The beautiful mansion was recognized by all during our cocktail hour and reception and my wife and I were very lucky to have 142 guests either vaccinated or tested under the state guidelines. The venue allowed for a safe and responsible gathering with our closest friends and family. To go back to it also, the food was AMAZING! The staff prepared amazing meals all night long. To say we were able to pull of a COVID wedding, many of those thanks go to the amazing staff at the Mansion and you would simply be missing out if you didn't at least meet with the team and explore options regarding your wedding. It was the most perfect day and we would not change a thing.

I hosted my sister's bridal shower at the Mansion at Oyster Bay and all I can say is WOW- it exceeded my expectations! The drawing room and outside tent were beyond gorgeous and well- kept. The mansion and the grounds are simply perfect. The staff was helpful and lovely. The maitre-D, Mike, was so on top of everything and helped ensure that the shower ran on time and that we had everything we needed at all times. The brunch buffet and omelette station were delicious! Emily helped us plan the event and was so helpful and flexible with all of the date changes due to Covid. Thanks again to everyone at the mansion for an unforgettable event!
