My sister got married at the Mariner Estate, and her wedding was spectacular!
I was with her when she toured the property for the first time. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable…they treated us like family. After walking around the property inside and out, my sister had already made up her mind. She LOVED everything about the Estate. It wasn’t like every other cookie-cutter catering hall we had looked at.
What my family loved most about this venue was that it felt like we were having a wedding at a home. It’s very spacious and unique.
The wedding was beautiful, the venue is a perfect hidden gem, and the staff is fabulous!

I have had the pleasure of attending a few events at this magnificent venue. The history and the atmosphere is so unique and inviting. The space is so adaptable from children's birthday parties, to bag bingo, to a performance and to a wedding. It is so versatile and the team that manages and coordinates everything is so easy to work with. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

Nothing compares to the historical space, it is one of a kind and truly elegant! The interior rooms, the grounds, all spectacular!! And—The staff couldn’t be nicer, they cater to all crowds and tastes- every detail counts and nothing goes unnoticed. I would not hesitate to call The Mariner Estate if you have an upcoming event, large or small.

The Mariner estate was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first contacted them, the staff was quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and friendly throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself spacious, classy, and so incredibly beautiful. From the moment we booked our wedding, Yevgeniya made sure to check up constantly and helped us with vendors and anything else we needed. They also allow you to start setting up the night before if they don’t have any events which was extremely helpful and made our wedding day stress free! I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, convenient, and stress-free wedding experience.

My husband and I were married in mid November 24. This venue was a dream come true, and so BEAUTIFUL as if it were straight out of a movie. The value for the price is just outstanding! Yevgenia and Juan went above and beyond to make our day easy and stress free. I simply don't have enough words in my vocabulary to say how truly amazing they both were! I would highly recommend looking into their preferred vendors for your other wedding needs. They worked in tandem with the outside vendors like a well oiled machine. If you can have your wedding here, you should! You won't regret it!

We got married here on October 14, 2023 and the entire time the staff was incredible. The most accommodating team ever. The managers always made themselves available via email or in person so we could stop by and look around to plan decorations, arrangements, etc. my emails were always promptly answered and we were given the latitude to decorate the gorgeous space pretty much however we wanted. You do have to bring all your own vendors in which wasn’t a problem because they have recommended vendors they work with frequently and all of the vendors we chose to work with through them were also exceptional. Unfortunately it rained 90% of our wedding day so we couldn’t utilize the outdoor space, but the staff was more than accommodating and helped us make the most out of space inside. The estate is simply gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for. Since it is a more DIY location, we were able to set up decorations earlier in the week because they didn’t have any other events leading up to our wedding that week. This venue is truly incredible in terms of beauty, staff, and professionalism. I would recommend the Mariner Estate to any bride.

The setting of The Mariner Estate made my wedding beautiful but the staff there made it perfection. The building and grounds are sophisticated and welcoming, providing the charm of a Gold Coast mansion without the high prices. My husband and I researched so many venues online but when we visited the Mariner Estate we booked it the day we walked in. The event staff recommended and helped us work with a wonderful caterer (Foodies LI) and coordinated every aspect of the affair. Jamie Johnson's eye for detail is just amazing. She knew exactly where every table, chair and flower would look best. She helped us customize the entire Estate to match the vision of our wedding. She and Juan and Yev are so caring, attentive and hard working. We could not have asked for a better crew. When the weather turned horribly bad, they knew just how to pivot to ensure our vision stayed true. Every guest who attended commented on the beautiful venue and amazing details of the Estate. The pictures were a dream with the Mariner Estate as the setting. (Photos by Miralli Photography.) The room options are fabulous. We had the entire place to ourselves for the whole day and night to get ready, have the ceremony, host the cocktail hour and dinner, and dance the night away. The DJ (Stingray Productions) was so happy with the setting. The Estate and its staff made all the vendors' jobs a pleasure. I cannot recommend The Mariner Estate highly enough for events large and small. They are a hidden gem on Long Island.

Let me start by saying, I pretty much had our flights booked for a destination wedding until I found The Mariner Estate. My family has been in the event industry for 40+ years. There are not many catering halls in the tri -state area that we have not been to. This is why the thought of the same old- been there, done that type of venue in Long Island or NYC was just not something I wanted. My uncle had worked a wedding at the Estate and called me on the spot while there and said I should check them out online. He sent me pictures throughout the night and it caught my interest. It is a brand new renovated historic building with one event per day. Well fast forward a week later and I made an appointment with Jamie after being on the phone with her for over an hour. She completely understood my vision and honestly hesitation in wanting a Long Island wedding. Upon making the turn into the driveway, I just had a feeling that I can not put into words. The property is a set back secluded building that lies behind trees hidden from the road. It isn't like other north shore mansions, it's just so quaint and unique. Upon entering, I immediately saw it was pristine. All new and fresh, yet every architectural detail preserved. The antiques and decor is breathtaking. I met with Jamie and she immediately welcomed us and made us feel so comfortable as if it were an extension of our own home. We ended up spending over 2 hours just discussing what we would do and what we could do and I just knew immediately this was it. The Estate was where I would get married. Yevgenia is amazing also and so detailed as well. We had so many moving parts to our event, we had a big vision and it was executed flawlessly by their team. My friends and family were wowed from the time they arrived. This is truly a hidden gem that the world is about to find out about. I am so happy that no guest had ever been there before and everyone experienced it together for the first time at my wedding! I can not say enough about the experience we had. It really was a dream wedding. They were so invested in the event's success and our happiness. And we were and are so happy. We are a part of the Estates family of events now and I love seeing all their pictures on Instagram of what I know is other ecstatic couples and families.

If you are looking for a beautiful, unique backdrop for your wedding or big event, look no further than the Mariner Estate! The moment we toured the venue my wife and I knew that this place was special. The overall aesthetic of the Mariner Estate fit our vision of a Jazz Age/Art Deco theme wedding perfectly! The main hall was perfect for live music, with high ceilings, a big stage and beautiful baby grand piano. The surrounding landscape provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and pictures shortly thereafter. The coordinator and staff were easy to work with, professional and responsive to our needs. The channels of communication among ourselves, the site staff and event coordinators were excellent throughout the entire planning and execution. Big thanks to Yevgenia and Juan for everything they did to make our big day possible!

I would 100% recommend the Mariner Estate to any friends, family and even strangers in need of a classy and beautiful backdrop for their event.

We would like to start off by saying Thank You So Much to everyone at The Mariner Estate for making our Wedding Day everything we could ever dream of!
We recently got married at The Mariner Estate and Jamie, Juan and Yevgenya from The Mariner were absolutely amazing. From our very first meeting with Jamie at the Mariner we knew we had chosen the right spot and the right person /company to help us make our big day so special. The Mariner is absolutely gorgeous and private. We loved how we had the whole venue to ourselves. All our guests commented on how fabulous everything was, decor, venue, outdoor ceremony, food etc…
So again Thank You so much for helping in making our Wedding day PERFECT.
We highly recommend The Mariner Estate.

The Mariner Estate team was incredible. They helped my husband and I through every detail of our reception. It went absolutely perfectly, and I couldn’t be more thankful to the team for everything they did for us.
Jamie has amazing vision and an infectious enthusiasm that will make you feel so excited for the big day. Her love is evident for event planning, and it made it a joy to discuss ideas throughout the entire process.
Yevgeniya will help you with every single detail and is committed to helping you execute the plan without a hitch. She gave me so much reassurance and was available for many (many, many) visits to the Estate to fine tune ideas and details.
Juan is amazing and will run your event without a hitch. He knows the Estate in and out and there is no one better to make sure things run smoothly on the day! He will make you feel confident that all the vendors will be taken care of, and no details forgotten.
Kristin will make you feel so cared about. She sees and pays attention to all the things you may forget to account for, and she is so kind and willing to help you with anything you might need. Her joy in helping you plan your day is so warm and you’ll feel so confident in every aspect of the plan.
The Estate is perfect for indoor and outdoor activities. The brick is classic and timeless, and the decorations are beautiful and can be arranged to your liking. It’s simultaneously classy and posh, while also feeling comforting and familiar.
If you are considering the Mariner Estate for your wedding, you should visit, and meet the team. Hudson and I will never forget our reception. All our memories of our families and friends that day are backdropped by the beautiful Estate. That was the best day of my whole life.
There should be an option for more than 5 stars!

The team here is amazing. Yevgeniya was amazing to communicate with - so helpful, easy to work with and flexible. Juan and Kristen made everything happen. It rained the day of my wedding and it was outdoor ceremony, the way they moved to set up everything and make it work - I’ll forever be grateful. They do amazing work and worked hard to make my dream wedding come true.
The estate is beautiful, see it in person if you can. There’s so much flexibility of what can be done with the space, between the ballroom, cocktail room, bridal suites, outdoor spaces.
I can’t thank this team enough!!

Amazing staff and amazing location.
Staff helped me prepare for big day and help keep things very smooth. Can’t say enough about Jamie and Yevgenia with their countless hours to help create an amazing evening. Juan was very hands on and so eager to assist and keep evening fabulous, he stayed from the time we opened the doors to prepare to after clean up to ensure everything was handled.
The location is charming with unbelievable garden area to keep a nice indoor/ outdoor flow. The dance floor and stage area holds 200 people east and made it feel open and spacious.
I am so happy we had our event here!!!
And one of the guests lost a purse with phone, and it was recovered and returned!! Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place or the staff!! Two thumbs up!!!

This venue is a gem of a find. If you're looking for an intimate space for a wedding, look no further. They host one wedding at time ensuring couple and everyone in attendance has a magical experience.
Jamie, Yev, and Juan are your dream venue team responsible for your event running smoothly. Their attention to detail is second to none, and they care just as much about your event as you do.
I highly recommend having your next event there. They did a fantastic job on mine.

The minute I walked through the doors and met Jamie and Yevgenia, I just knew this was where I would get married. My wedding will be regarded as one of the best days in life for my husband Mark and I and our families. The Estate is absolutely stunning. Every area is just beautiful. We had an outdoor ceremony that looked like a picture in a magazine. Our cocktail hour was on the patio and the ballroom is like no other. Our guests could not stop complimenting us. We can't wait to get our pictures. The food was exceptional as well. I think 2 people that attended the wedding may book other events there. Thank you to the Mariner Estate team for making our day so special.

I can not say enough about the The Mariner Estate. The building is AMAZING! I still feel like I was living in a fairytale the whole day. My guests keep texting and calling saying that it was the best wedding they were ever at. The little fun details and picture ops that are in this space made for so much fun. I got ready with my mom and sister in the bridal suite and it was HUGE and perfect. We had a warm day so my guests were on the patio outside enjoying the evening under twinkle lights. The management team was so easy and great to work with and accommodated all of my needs and directed me to the perfect vendors. Anyone looking to have a unique and 5star wedding I encourage them to look at this estate. Really- BEST DAY EVER!
