We celebrated our child’s birthday at the Mariner Estate and had a wonderful experience. Juan helped make the party run smoothly and was friendly, patient, and attentive throughout...
the event. The venue was beautiful, and we loved that we were able to bring our own vendors, which made planning easy and personalized. The kids had an amazing time, and everything went perfectly. Highly recommend the Mariner Estate for birthday parties!

t was tough to find a place that allowed you to have less than 125.
I found The Mariner Estate while looking up historic venues on Long Island. From the moment we toured, we knew we found a hidden gem. Of all the historic venues on Long Island, it was the cleanest and had the most amazing staff. Yevgeniya was so responsive and provided us with an amazing list of preferred vendors, most of which we used. We planned over emails and phone calls for a year, and she even checked in when there were periods where we weren't actively planning. The best part? No hidden fees, no guest minimums, and you can bring in ANY vendor you'd like-from catering to musicians.
One of the huge pros of this venue is that you have it completely to yourself. We were even able to come the day before our event to decorate and set things up.
On the weekend of our wedding, Juan was extremely helpful. He worked with me on our floor plan, and was a great point person for our vendors as they showed up to the venue. He handled everything we needed, and even helped us decorate when we were short a few people to help!
We got so many compliments on the beauty of the building and how well-maintained the building and grounds were. Our photos turned out beautiful and we'll be dreaming of this perfect venue for the rest of our lives!

t is unique, inviting and beautiful while giving a glimpse into history. From the first encounter with Yevgeniya which was so refreshing as she was so easy to work and accommadating. She answered all the questions and more. We couldn't thank her enough. Juan was very attentive, hands on and accommodating as well. He made sure everything went smoothly. His attention to details was impeccable.
We would definitely use The Mariner Estate again. All the guest at our wedding are still talkimg about it and how beautiful it is in person.

We had a really difficult time figuring out a wedding venue that fit our vision and budget. We went all the way out east to 2 hours upstate to try and find something that would be ...
a good fit for us and we were struggling. We wanted a backyard wedding à la Father of the Bride, but don't have a backyard to host it.
We ended up finding this venue on google maps when searching "wedding venues nearby". We lived 5 minutes away and stopped by on our way back from the grocery store on a whim. Homey and welcoming, but still unique! The Mariner Estate is so different from anywhere else we found, you bring in your own vendors and have the run of the place for the whole day and can really make it your own. Stunningly beautiful on its own and spacious, it was a perfect fit for us!
Everyone who works there is so nice and accommodating, answering every question we had. Yevgenia always got back to us so quickly and we enjoyed the process so much we ended up having our rehearsal dinner at the venue as well. Juan is the backbone of this place and makes sure everything gets done. This space is made even more special by the people who work there. They allow you to curate the venue into your vision and have it come to life. They even allowed us to take paintings off the wall to hang up our own photos. The ballroom was a good size for our 150 guests. The layout of the venue allowed for our guests to be inside and outside enjoying the wonderful weather and gorgeous grounds throughout the evening. This venue is great for a hands-on couple that wants to be a part of every step of the planning process. Highly recommend The Mariner Estate as the backdrop for your wedding day. It is truly a hidden gem in the wedding scene, but I have a feeling it won't be for long!

lly maintained and made for a perfect backdrop for photos, while the interior was elegant, spacious, and ideal for celebrating such a special occasion.
What truly set this venue apart, though, was the incredible support from the supervisors. They were professional, attentive, and extremely helpful throughout the planning process, especially when it came to assisting with permits. Their guidance made everything smooth and stress-free, allowing us to focus on enjoying the event.
I would highly recommend The Mariner Estate to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-managed location for their special event!

geable…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!

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.

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!

n 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.

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. The...
re 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.

his 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!

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 tea...
m 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!

Anyone looking to have a unique and 5star wedding I encourage them to look at this estate. Really- BEST DAY EVER!
