The Royalton Mansion

in house and was absolutely incredible - our guests are still raving about all of the food, especially the cocktail hour!! Every detail of our wedding at the Royalton was perfect and the team helped to make the planning process as easy as can be. We would 100% recommend the Royalton!!

ade us feel so comfortable and welcomed us immediately. We fell in love with the look of the Royalton, but we knew that Mike, Mike and Amanda would be so accommodating and make us feel like we were home. They were amazing to work with and went above and beyond to make sure that all of our wants and needs were accommodated. Any suggestion or request that we had during the planning of the wedding, they were excited to move forward with. They were always quick to respond to emails and phone calls. The service during the party was incredible and I am confident in saying that Mike threw a kick ass party!!! The team was instrumental in making sure that all vendors schedules aligned perfectly with one another - everything could not have possibly run more smoothly during the day and night of the wedding. People were raving to us throughout the entire night and days after the wedding about how picture perfect everything was. Thank you to the Royalton team for the best night of our lives!!!!! If you are searching for a wedding venue, we would 100000% recommend the Royalton Mansion!!!!

o the extra mile to make the day special for us. They had great suggestions, were open to our ideas and were fun to share the planning process with. They answered all of my emails and phone calls and truly thought of everything. They paid attention to all of the details I never would have even thought about! On the actual day of the wedding, my bridal attendant Michelle was my lifeline. She was by my side before I even noticed I needed something, and helped keep the day running smoothly. She made sure that my husband and I had all of the food we wanted, delivered to the bridal suite and later our sweetheart table, and even helped my bridesmaids bustle my dress! Mike, Amanda, Aldo, Michelle and the whole staff of the Royalton went above and beyond all day and night to make sure we had the most amazing experience! We loved celebrating with them and are so grateful for all of their help and hard work!

, both inside the mansion and outside on the beautiful grounds. From our first visit with Mike and Amanda, we knew we were in the best hands. Throughout the process, they were kind, professional, responsive, accommodating, and fun to plan and work with. No question or request was too much. On the day of the wedding, they made sure our experience was perfect, with the help of my incredible and attentive bridal attendant Michelle, and my husband’s very helpful attendant Aldo. This fantastic team ensured that our day and evening ran flawlessly, which was not an easy feat with such a large group of family members, 16 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen. The spacious bridal suite, great groom’s room, and other additional areas that we utilized throughout the day allowed for plenty of space necessary for getting ready, photography, relaxing, and eating the meals provided to us all day. We knew from our tasting that the food would be delicious, but even that exceeded our expectations. We were presented with so many great options, and any additional variations and wish lists were happily welcomed. The food presentation and service were impeccable as well. We are so grateful for a truly spectacular wedding celebration thanks to an outstanding venue and unparalleled group of individuals. Thank you!!!

m working with them over the past 6 months. Mike T was BEYOND helpful to us from day one....giving us great recommendations, walking us through the wedding planning process, and always being happy to answer any questions that we had. Then, yesterday, we actually got to experience the Royalton on our wedding day. When I say they did EVERYTHING to make our day perfect, I mean down to every last detail. Michelle, my bridal attendant, was by my side at every moment I needed her and actually anticipated what i wanted before I even said a word. She not only looked after me but kindly made sure that my parents were happy and cared for throughout the day. She was a true pleasure to work with. Aldo greeted us with a smile at the moment we walked in and many times throughout the day and was so helpful to us. When my necklace got tangled up, Amanda untangled for me in seconds. And Mike T, our first friend at the Royalton, was there throughout the day to make sure the entire day was perfect, which it was. You KNOW you have chosen the right venue when your hairstylist calls you in your limo, and tells you "wait until you get back to the Royalton. This place looks gorgeous and every person here is working so hard". John and I had soooo many of our guests tell us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we know that the Royalton was a huge part of it. The place itself is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the people are a fantastic team. Thank you all for a truly perfect day.

, Amanda, Ashley and Aldo was the easiest and most accommodating experience we could ever have asked for. Every detail was taken care of just as discussed and expected, and the staff went above and beyond the day of the event to make sure that my husband and I had everything we needed and were happy and, most importantly, well fed! If you get married here, you won't have to worry about not eating the food at your wedding - we literally had them bringing it to us! Everything ran smoothly and I literally do not have a single complaint about my wedding reception. It was also amazing to have the venue dedicated to only our event for the entire day. Even though our reception was not until 7PM, the staff was there all day with us, as we chose to use the bridal and grooms suites to get ready and then take our first look and wedding party pictures on the grounds in the morning and afternoon. It made the day so much easier and special for us. I don't have enough words to express how happy I am that we chose to get married at The Royalton. This team is really astounding and I highly recommend that you have your next big event here. It will be the least stressful decision you make!

g our wedding one we will never forget! Truly the best in the business and highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for a first class affair! Thank you Mike and the staff! You guys were nothing short of amazing!

I would get married there every day if I could!

or small) that you have, accommodate your every need, provide suggestions and ease your mind of any stress. The day of the wedding was an absolute dream and the attention received by my husband and I, family and all guest was incredible. In addition to that the food and service is AMAZING and all our guest are still raving about the cocktail hour as well as dinner and dessert. You truly can customize however you like, which allows you to really put your personal spin on things. Not to mention the venue is gorgeous. We had a winter/holiday themed wedding on 11/30/18 and it was so cozy. It does not feel like a catering hall at all. My other favorite thing is that only one wedding is allowed per day (rare on Long Island!). It actually felt like we had moved in for 24 hours (the bride & groom can sleep overnight) and that I was having my closest friends and family over at my home. We were also able to bring all our belongings and personal decorations to the mansion earlier in the week, allowing for even less stress. If you’re looking for a personalized wedding in a stunning & cozy venue with amazing food and service then look no further. You can absolutely trust Amanda, Mike and the rest of the staff to make your wedding the best day ever!

hat they are doing! Highly highly recommend!!

and fun, being available via phone and email for any small question we had and going above and beyond to accommodate personalized requests like ordering cases of my favorite pumpkin beer for our October wedding (on top of creating delish signature cocktails!). Everything about our wedding day was magical - the attendants (Michelle and Aldo) were extremely attentive and friendly all day, and the setup of the lobby, cocktail room, and ballroom was gorgeous. The staff worked with our florists to make our indoor ceremony stunning and seamlessly set up the ballroom during cocktail hour. And the food was incredible -- the staff made sure we ate at every course. We needed a glatt kosher affair and I was so impressed with how they were able to transition their venue’s catering to meet our needs. Every guest has wonderful things to say about the service and the entire night. I wish we could do it all over to get to celebrate at The Royalton again.

n made my niece a special dinner. Ashley, my bridal attendant, was phenomenal. I was at ease all night thanks to her and she was always right there when I needed something. The Royalton staff was always there but they were in the background. The venue itself was a perfect choice but the quality of the staff made our day even more memorable and fun. Can't thank you all enough! I highly recommend.

derstatement. My decision to have my wedding at The Royalton was by far the best decision I made during the wedding planning process, with the exception of saying "yes" when my fiancé proposed. I had my wedding on August 25, 2018, and had booked The Royalton that past March. It was important to me to have a venue that only did one wedding at a time, a venue that didn't feel like a wedding factory. The Royalton is elegant, yet intimate and warm.The food was amazing…and there is so much of it! They will pretty much make whatever you'd like, but they also offer suggestions to help guide you. This is a common theme with The Royalton; they will tailor your wedding to be whatever you'd like it to be. The service is impeccable. The attention to detail is unparalleled. I cannot begin to say enough positive things about Mike T and Amanda. From the moment Amanda showed me around in March to the day of my wedding, both were with me every step of the way. And I do mean every single step of the way. From talking me off a bridal ledge on a weeknight to patiently dealing with me when it was the week of my wedding and I had yet to pick a signature drink, they were nothing but accommodating, helpful, kind, and the ultimate professionals. If I could hire Mike T. to make my daily life run more smoothly, I would. His aptitude and astuteness makes him such an asset to The Royalton. He can navigate those difficult situations that are bound to happen with absolute ease, and is always 10 steps ahead of everything going on. The enthusiasm and professionalism of the staff at The Royalton cannot be expressed in written form. I simply cannot do them justice in this review. Do yourself a favor: stop looking at venues and book The Royalton.

ything to make make this our special day. Michele, the bridal attendant and the entire royalton staff were wonderful. The food and service was beyond superb as my guests are still raving about the party. There was absolutely nothing I would change or do differently. I was beyond calm that night since I trusted this venue and they didn’t let me down. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind if they are thinking about booking here !

They took care of us for the entire day. We got married on a Friday and had the mansion to ourselves ALL day. The food was delicious- we are still dreaming of the sea bass!! The venue was gorgeous and our guests are still raving about the night. Our dreams came true thanks to the Royalton Mansion!

the venue and the food was. Prepare yourself for a very lavish wedding, including food before the ceremony, an insurmountable amount of food at the cocktail party, a huge, filling dinner (with vegetarian/vegan options!), top shelf liquor and a dessert spread that some of your guests may have never seen before. I had multiple people come up to me and tell me that the steak was just as good or better than top steakhouses in NYC and apparently people were licking their fingers from the lamb chops in cocktail hour. Most importantly, they are incredibly accommodating. Mike T couldn't be a nicer guy. Ashley was incredible. They had every detail down pat, including having food waiting for us in the bridal suite after the ceremony and generally just helping us through the most important day of our lives. I guarantee that you will have one of the best weddings if not the best that you and your guests have ever been to. Thank you to Mike T and the Royalton. Brandon and Danielle

say day and night, because I was able to get ready at The Royalton starting at 8:00am with my entire bridal party. Michael and Amanda are the absolute best. Being a bride for the first time, I had so many questions and all of them were answered as though I was the only bride they were working with. So prompt in their responses and made me feel so special throughout the entire process. The FOOD is outstanding, our guests have been raving about it since that night! The Royalton provides everything and anything you will need the day of. They are extremely accommodating when it comes to setting your personal touches up and dropping off items at the venue for your wedding day. The service is pristine. Ashley was my bridal attendant and she was amazing. From the minute I arrived, to getting ready and leaving that night, there was not one thing I needed to think of. She is so easy to speak to and makes you feel so comfortable. The love that the staff, especially Amanda and Michael, have for what they do, beams from them. They are so quick to help with advice, and are able to accommodate any special requests. I know for us, this was the night of our lives and we truly owe it to The Royalton for every single thing they did to help and guide us. There was not one hiccup throughout our reception, even during the day getting ready - food and drinks were served all day. If there was, they did such an amazing job that I had no idea. I can't thank them enough for all that they did for us! Truly the best and so beyond thankful we were able to celebrate our wedding day at The Royalton!

n’t know where to begin but I will start with the incredible staff that made it all happen- throughout the entire process, from pressure-free booking to the big day, Mike T. and the entire team made our lives so incredibly easy and stress-free; made sure every detail was taken care of - they worked closely with our vendors to ensure everything went smoothly the day of; were so responsive and just overall fantastic to work with. On the day of, from the second my husband and I arrived with our bridal party, we were catered to, treated like royalty, never had an empty drink or plate of food- we did not have to worry about anything except to enjoy our wedding, and that is what it was all about. THE FOOD…the food was outstanding and our guests are still talking about how it was the best meal they’ve ever had, best cocktail hour they’ve been to; waiter service was excellent - and our big Italian family is not easy to please! ;). While we worked closely with Mike and team, we were given the flexibility to customize the menu however we wanted to make it just right. On top of the quality food & service, it is a unique and beautiful space, that you have to yourselves the entire day. The Royalton genuinely wants you and your guests to have the best experience and they will go above and beyond to make it happen. The venue and staff truly understands quality all around and they deliver. I don’t have to tell anyone reading this that you invest a lot of time and money on your wedding, especially your venue but our experience with The Royalton was worth every single penny. We did not add any extras aside from what was included in our package and it was still top notch. While we may be bias, booking at The Royalton was the best decision we made because we knew we were guaranteed, exceptional level of service, exceptional food, and the biggest value for your money with every quality detail they offer - from start to finish. If you are looking for a venue, you will not be disappointed.

oom and the parents each have their own suite AND attendant. Ashley, my bridal attendant, was amazing all day. She was on top of everything I needed, and even things I didn't know I needed. The grounds are gorgeous, and the food is delicious. All of my guests still rave about their meals. Everyone is professional, attentive and meticulous. It truly is white glove service. I would highly recommend having your wedding here! I cannot say enough amazing thing about The Royalton!!

ding.

her venues, but you could not even compare. From the elegance of the dining room to the romance at the place we shared our vows and started our journey as a married couple. They turned our dream wedding into our wedding.

erful experience working with Mike T, Amanda, and their team. They were professional, attentive, helpful and overall, are so good at what they do. The venue itself is beautiful and the service and food you receive are outstanding. They were flexible with menu items and offered a great array of selections. They pay attention to detail and are on top of their game, allowing you to breathe easy, and enjoy your wedding day, as it should be. I can't recommend them enough. Several of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. My husband and I only hope we get invited to another event at the Royalton so we have a reason to go back! Massive thanks to Mike, Amanda and their team for exceeding all of our expectations and working with us to create our dream wedding.

Royalton. Everyone is still talking about the food (which by the way does not taste like typical wedding food, and the menu is 100% customizable; I was shocked at the tasting and could not believe that’s how 200 plates would come out, but they did!!!), and my photos came out more beautiful than I could have expected. The level of service is OUTSTANDING, and I did not understand how important this would be before I went through this process. You need people to help you, be available to discuss things with you, and fill in the MANY MANY blanks that will come up day-of. Mike T. really goes above and beyond and you can tell that he really cares about each event. For the price you really get a lot- all of the upgrades that will cost extra at another venue are included in the price at the Royalton so actually you are getting a pretty good deal when you put everything into consideration. They will book pretty fast so I recommend locking down your date early! I would choose them again in a heartbeat.

venue was. Ambiance, beauty, food and service were beyond reproach, There is nothing I would change and want to do it all over again! Don't hesitate, if this venue is available, book it immediately, you will not regret it. -

ice and food was- from the cocktail hour, to dinner and dessert. From beginning to end, The Royalton was great to work with and very easy to get in contact with via email/ phone. The ground are beautifully kept and the inside is just as gorgeous. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day perfect!

eel like I was the most important person and ran our wedding day flawlessly. Its been 4 days and I can't keep track of the amount of compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was from cocktail hour to the dinner. Most of all they were blown away by the Dessert room and what a great party it was! I am already thinking of the next celebration we can throw here because it was the time of our life! Major thank you to Mike T and Amanda!

ial planning to the final details, they were on top of everything and are extremely knowledgeable. They were responsive to all of our requests while guiding us in a very helpful way on what would work well for the wedding we had in mind. On top of being experts in their fields and great at their jobs, they’re lovely to get to know as well. We felt confident the entire time that we were in really great hands. The entire staff at the Royalton is warm, professional, talented, and made us feel so special on our big day. The bride’s and groom’s attendants took such great care of us. And part of what makes the Royalton so special is that they focus on one wedding a day, unlike many other venues we looked at. That was very helpful for us in that we could have the space as early as we wanted that morning, and we had the entire property to ourselves throughout the entire day and night. It made us feel very at home and comfortable while getting ready for the ceremony and reception, which allowed us to take it all in and enjoy every moment! We can’t say enough good things about the Royalton and the team there. We’re very grateful that they created an absolutely perfect day for us and our guests! - Alexis and Dan

business from the inside out and it meant the world to us to know with confidence that the day would go by flawlessly. The grounds made for wonderful photos, the food was unbelievable (we still hear from guests that the filet mignon was cooked to perfection) and the Venetian hour had everything from a chocolate fondue fountain to an ice cream bar presented in a way that was classy and elegant. Everyone's glass was always full as the service was second to none. We can't thank Mike T. and the Royalton staff enough for their hard work and dedication on our special day!!!

hilean Sea Bass if you can :-) ). Everything from the very first meeting with Mike T to the day after the wedding packing up the car was a great experience. They work with you. They answer your questions. Most importantly, they create a fairytale wedding beyond what you could ever imagine. All of our guests came up to us to complement the staff, service, and food, and said it was the "best wedding" they have been to. Thank you SO MUCH Mike T, Amanda, Ashley, and Aldo for making our wedding reception a day we want to relive every day! The Royalton is a hidden gem!! BOOK NOW!

never had to worry about any detail and it was all perfect. On the day of the wedding, everything was planned out perfectly and the food was delicious (yes they even made sure I stopped to eat). This venue is amazing and I would recommend it over and over again!!

dible to work with and will do anything and everything he can to make sure all of your dreams come true. Leading up to our wedding, he was always available to go over the smallest of details and answer all of our questions. Michelle was the most amazing bridal attendant, making sure everything was taken care of for me and my bridesmaids throughout the entire day (she even had my husband's attendant get almond milk for me the morning of my wedding!). Aldo was my husband's attendant - he was SO helpful and took care of the entire bridal party. Mike's attention to detail and preparedness put our minds at ease. Every detail, no matter how small, was accounted for. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about the night. Specifically, the beautiful grounds and the amazing food. From the cocktail hour to the farewell table, the food kept coming and did not disappoint! We have received so many compliments about how our was wedding was the best they have ever attended. We are SO grateful to everyone at The Royalton who made this night the most memorable night of our lives.

November 4 and have absolutely nothing to critique - and I'm typically pretty hard to impress since I am also in the event industry. Jorge and Mike T. are simply phenomenal and will cater to your every need and will happily answer any question you may have. They made the process of planning the wedding much easier and were so enjoyable to work with. I loved every second of my wedding and wish I could do it all over again, as everything came together perfectly with the help of Mike and the rest of the Royalton staff. A lot of my guests are still gushing over the wedding and have told me it was the best wedding they have ever been to, as the venue is truly magnificent. I highly recommend booking The Royalton and promise you will not be disappointed!

or over-the-top catering hall. We wanted a venue that felt intimate, elegant and personal. The Royalton met every single one of those requirements. We worked with Mike T who was the absolute best. I'm very picky when it comes to selecting the people I work with and Mike was both personable and professional. From our first meeting with him, my now-husband and I felt comfortable and confident that he would go above and beyond to make our wedding as seamless and stress-free as possible. I absolutely adore every space the Royalton has to offer. The cocktail room has a wonderfully cozy feel, with bookshelves, couches and a fireplace. The garden is just lovely and the courtyard made the perfect setting for our ceremony. The ballroom itself is incredibly spacious with hardwood floors throughout, three mantles and beautiful chandeliers. Over the last year or so, Mike worked closely with us everything--menu, decor, timing, tables, etc. He's so quick to get back to you and so on his game. Even when we had issues with other vendors, Mike took the reigns and stepped in to make sure things were handled. One of the main reasons we chose the Royalton is that we had such flexibility with our food choices. We had some more out-of-the-box requests like mini chicken and waffles for cocktail hour and even provided a family recipe for them to recreate--all which was done without any problems. Our guests have done nothing but rave about the selection and the quality of it. I promise you, no one will be going home hungry. As for decor, The Royalton really gives you a chance to personalize so much of the space. I dropped of quite a few signs, books, knick-knacks, etc. prior to our wedding day and they did such a lovely job of setting everything up in the spaces we discussed. My entire bridal party, including myself and the groom, got ready at the Royalton. The Bridal Suite is very spacious, as is the Groom's space (equipped with a poker table). Each of our attendants were incredibly on-point and helpful. Michelle, especially really was a Godsend. I didn't have to THINK or use my brain at all that day. Before I thought it, she already had it done. Our entire wedding day ran seamlessly thanks to Mike and the rest of the team. I can say the reason why I enjoyed my wedding day so much was thanks to them. They took control, got things done and made sure the groom and I were taken care of. And ignore everyone who tells you you won't eat on your wedding day--everyone at the Royalton will make sure you do ;) Do yourself a favor, stop reading reviews and just book it already. The space is gorgeous, the food is amazing, the crew is spot-on. You won't regret it.

tive staff, and the grounds are stunning. It has been weeks now and people can not stop talking about how awesome our wedding was. Outstanding food and service! it truly added that extra something to our special day.

sts can not stop raving about how great everything was and how much fun they had! We strongly recommend having your wedding at the Royalton!!

ity of the staff is first class. Mike was patient and accommodating with all my crazy questions and requests from day one. Always easy to get in touch with a quick with a response. Michelle, Aldo and the entire staff are ON POINT. They literally take care of everything you and your bridal party need, making sure everything runs smoothly, everyone is where the need to be on time, and most importantly, everyone (especially the bride and groom) are happy. The food, from cocktail hour to the dinner to dessert (we did passed desserts and it was like an army of servers offering guests every single one of my favorite desserts) to the exit station (with an oven warming crispy churros!) was amazing. My family, bridal party and guests can't stop raving about how incredible this venue was and i agree 100%. I could not be happier with my choice to book the Royalton and would recommend any bride with high expectations do the same!

azing day start to finish. Our attendants (Michelle, Alex & Aldo) were great and kept us on schedule throughout the entire day... getting ready, ceremony & reception. Francis was our awesome overnight butler! The day went by so quickly and we can't wait to watch our video! To this day, we have our guests calling raving about their experience: the food, the service & the venue.

We can't say enough good things about the venue and have recommend it to all of our friends.

Mike T. and the staff had everything covered. They ensured that we ate, drank, danced and really enjoyed ourselves. We had our ceremony in the beautiful garden out back, followed by cocktail hour, the reception and the after party! Every aspect far exceeded our expectations. My family can be a tough crowd, and everyone is still raving about our wedding. The food, the level of service, the atmosphere and attention to every detail was impeccable. Our guests are still commenting that, they've never seen a wedding like this. Everyone had an amazing time. Additionally, we live out in CA and Mike T. was so accommodating in the planning process. With the Royalton, wedding planning was never so easy. I cannot recommend the Royalton highly enough.

his attention to every detail at the reception was just outstanding. He just made the day so easy for us, and we cannot thank him enough. Christian, our Maitre'd was fantastic. His attention to detail was exceptional. Michele was our Bridal Attendant, and we cannot say enough about her. She kept everyone at ease, and just made everyone feel special. She was exceptional, and made the day that much more special. The entire staff was outstanding. The service is second to none. You never had to ask for anything, it seemed they knew what you needed before you wanted something. The quality and amount of food, far exceeded The Royalton's exceptional reputation. Our guests could not stop talking about the food. The after party was great, and a nice way to wind down after the reception. We would highly recommend The Royalton. They will exceed your expectations. Mike T is exceptional, and he will make the process fun and stress free. Mike, Christian, Michele and the entire staff at The Royalton, THANK YOU!!!! The Gaetano's

as was Ingrid. Christian and Mike T took care of all of us. It was really a magical day. Thank you so SO much.

and beyond for us - going to several different beer distributors to find specific beers and going into Astoria to find Croatian meats! The day of the wedding could not have gone more smoothly either and our guests raved about the food and the quick service (particularly with drink refills!). If we were to do it all over again, we would absolutely choose The Royalton!

t staff did everything possible to ensure the day went smoothly. They went above and beyond to guarantee that the day was everything we wanted it to be, and more. My guests have not stopped raving about the food, beautiful location and impeccable service. I will definitely keep this venue in mind for any future events and would highly recommend The Royalton without reservation!

sold us on the venue, and George delivered on the promise that our wedding would be the best night of our lives. Mike, George, and Michelle, who was our bridal attendant, were exceptional. Each of them made certain that our wedding day went off without a hitch, and I cannot imagine having had a group of people be more dedicated to our wedding day happiness, than they were. We'd like to especially thank Michelle for stitching up one of the groomsmen's pant legs, after the seam had exploded due to extreme pressure. Now, to anyone that is considering the Royalton as a potential venue for their wedding...do not look any further. The Royalton, and its staff will deliver you the wedding you have always envisioned, we promise you that! Mazel Tov!

o make the night unforgettable. The menu is personalized, the food was amazing, the waiters and waitresses were ahead of the game, my bridal attendant was priceless, and the bartenders were great! Highly recommend The Royalton.

ttendant Michelle was basically a life saver on many occasions. Family and friends are still raving about the food (which is awesome) and the service. Everything they do is top notch! They go out of their way to get exactly what you want. I can say hands down that the Royalton is the reason my wedding was a dream come true.

for a day! Mike was extremely helpful and responsive in all the planning of the wedding in the many months leading up to it. He always said that no question was dumb, and never seemed annoyed when I called several times a day when a question popped up in my head. George and Mike were extremely helpful and accommodating the day of the wedding. Our bridal attendant Michelle was amazing and so helpful! There was no task that she wasn't handling and she made sure that my bridesmaids could enjoy their night instead of helping me with my dress up and down the stairs :) She also made sure my husband and I were well fed and well liquored. Also, the food is the best food of any wedding we have ever been to. People are still talking about the food! The place is expensive, but for what you are getting it ends up being a better value than elsewhere because everything is included upfront without the need to add anything to your package. Other places mislead you because the quote starts low, and by the team you add all the bells and whistles that equal what we had at the Royalton you are paying more or similar. You can't beat having your own place for the day without competing with other weddings and events at the same time! My husband's mom said that if her daughter wanted to get married there, she would recommend it even though she doesn't like traveling to Long Island from Westchester.

ends are still talking about the food! I adored working with Jorge and Michael and wish I could have another event soon just so I could host it at the Royalton!

to them. Leading up to the wedding, Jorge and Mike were always responsive, helpful, and patient. They made the wedding planning a very smooth experience. We had an issue with our florist and Jorge and Mike completely took over. They contacted our florist, and as a result, all of our concerns regarding our flowers were alleviated. Since the wedding I have had countless guests comment that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. They had such positive things to say regarding the service, the beauty of the venue, and the food! I would recommend The Royalton to anyone without any hesitation!!

IONALS who took care of every detail so that we were truly able to feel like PAMPERED guests. There was a bridal attendant, a groom attendant-- AND PARENTS OF THE BRIDE AND GROOM attendants who were by our sides every step of the way. Dealing with Mike T was an incredible pleasure throughout the planning process. He listened carefully to all of our ideas, helped us determine the best way to make our ideas a reality, and then delivered on everything he said he would deliver on. The facility was beautiful, the food was fabulous, our guests were attended to immediately and elegantly, and there was always a warm, caring and helpful person by our side, whether it was Mike, George, Michelle, Kim, or so many others. The bridal party had a great time during the many hours of hair, makeup and dress preparations, NOT ONLY because the guys and gals each had plenty of separate beautiful rooms to get ready in, but also had plenty of shared space to enjoy each other’s company, all the while being fed and cared for by happy and smiling Royalton staff who made the pleasure of the day even greater by their knowledge and positive spirit. We will forever be grateful to Mike, George, Michelle, and Kim and all the others who made our daughter’s wedding the experience of a lifetime. They left us totally overwhelmed not only by the perfection of the Royalton’s performance, but also by the care, attention, and indeed love, that was showered upon us throughout the day. We cannot thank them enough and will remember their kindnesses forever. The Royalton is a treasure that is not to be missed.

ur life. Every single person at my wedding said literally, this is the "best wedding". The food was amazing. Thr presentation was elegant and the day was orchestrated perfectly by the entire staff. The lovely Miss Michelle is a brides best friend. She knows what you want or need before you know you need it. Jorge and Mike have it all covered. Our day was managed seamlessly and executed perfectly. All we needed to do was arrive and enjoy. The extras...my mother, Jorge and Mike prepared a surprise for my husband and I only 2 days before the wedding...a photo booth. I loved it! Jorge is incredible - very professional, well-organized and will go that extra mile to make sure you love your day. We did!

ds - the best I could have expected to make my wedding reception perfect. AMY

sion for one second it was the wedding of my dreams! I am so grateful to everyone there.

me around the place and I instantly fell in love. Every part of the wedding planning experience was perfect and choosing the Royalton was one of the best and stress-free decisions I have ever made in my life. Jorge’s confidence, kindness and calmness kept me sane over the months of planning the wedding. He was extremely flexible in anything we asked. When creating the menu he helped capture the true essence of who we are, which are huge foodies. They can create almost anything you can dream of. Jorge helped us come up with a pastrami egg roll (which was amazing) and assured me they could recreate a drink I once had at a bar…which they did! Not only was the cocktail hour unbelievable but the main dinners were restaurant quality. On the wedding day, from the moment I arrived, I felt like a princess. No one would let me carry or do anything. The bridal suite was gorgeous, filled with food and drinks and enabled my girls, the moms and I to get ready like royalty. The room is breathtaking and I was so happy that I was able to start my day early and get ready in it. Kim was extremely accommodating and made sure that everyone was happy and hydrated while taking tons of pictures. Everyone says you won’t get to eat at your wedding. Kim made sure we were fed the entire time and that we always had a fresh drink on our table. She even offered to get my husband another (amazing) steak. The staff was so attentive and made sure that not only us as the bride and groom were taking care of, but so were our parents and all of the guests at the party. (I had friends going up to Jorge and Mike T telling them how amazing their servers were). Everything was absolutely perfect! Jorge and Mike T run an amazing venue. They are amazing at what they do and so patient while they are doing it. True professionals! My wedding day was beautiful and organized. Not one thing went wrong the entire day. Looking back, there is NOTHING I would change. Jorge was so calm through the entire process, which enabled me to be an extremely calm bride. I knew I was in great hands. From planning the menu, to arranging the rehearsal, to having the baker create the EXACT cake I wanted from a picture – Jorge nailed it! All of our guests left our party talking about how spectacular it was. They loved the food, the venue, the ceremony and how everything seemed to run so seamlessly. One thing that is a major positive of the Royalton is the fact that they only do 1 wedding a day. To me this was an amazing feature because it really makes you feel special since your wedding is the center of everyone’s attention.

T greeted us so warmly, escorted us through one lovely room after the other and then we sat with him to discuss menu options and details. This was the ONLY venue that did not give you a list of options from which to choose your cocktail hour choices, appetizer, salad, dinner and dessert options! The menu was custom made from start to finish and the end result was beyond amazing! The food and service was OUTSTANDING and the attention to detail was EXCEPTIONAL! On the day of the wedding Mike T, George and Michelle were there the entire time making sure everything went flawlessly, from beginning to end. They made sure the bridal party was attended to in all aspects and Michelle never left my daughter's side. Mike T brought my husband and I plates of food at the start of the cocktail hour to make sure we ate........he is absolutely the best! Mike T,, George and Michelle (the greatest bridal attendant ever), the amazing staff and the very talented chef are what make The Royalton the BEST venue on Long Island to have a wedding! They not only know how to throw a great party but they are warm, wonderful people. A very, very special place.... Wedding: 09/26/2014 Services Used: Ceremony & Reception Venue

teer clear of. When we visited the Royalton my daughter and future son-in-law fell in love with the place. Everything was top shelf. The cocktail hour was phenomenal, with various stations personalized by us both indoors and out. Lobster ravioli; chicken scarparella; seafood paella; sushi; Mongolian beef; the amazing outside grilling station; and all the pass arounds! I could go on and on. And of course the drinks were also top shelf (the ice luge was a big hit with the tequila crowd!). Dinner was outstanding as well, with the filet mignon and Chilean seabass the favorites. Add to that a room filled with great desserts (included in the price) which capped off a perfect evening. The stars aligned for us as the weather was beautiful. The outside ceremony in the garden illuminated by lanterns and the incredible floral arrangements (by house recommended Spitz and Peck florists) provided a memorable setting for a most romantic wedding.. A venue is in fact only as good as the staff that takes care of you and makes sure your party is a success. When it comes to the Royalton staff, these people are the best in the business!. To this day my guests are still raving about everything, especially the servers. Everyone, no matter where they were sitting said their service was outstanding. Finally, I must give our deepest and warmest "thank you" to Michael E. who delivered everything promised and much more; George, who ran a great party and Michelle and Aldo who took care of the Bride and Groom (and 20 members of the bridal party) from the minute they arrived at 9 am (serving them breakfast and lunch and anything they needed) until the bitter end at 2 am. And of course to the general manager Mike T., who treated all of us like family and made this one of the greatest nights of our lives. We will forever be thankful. If you are looking for a wedding venue on Long Island, look no further. You cannot beat the Royalton for value, ambiance and service. They say you get what you pay for. In this case you get much, much more! Virginia and David Grant

entive and they really cater to you and your family on the day. Not the cheapest venue but well worth the price.

was impeccable. If you are seeking an elegant, classy, upscale location, check this one out. Its expensive, but you get a wonderful event for the $$ (175pp Friday/$225pp Saturday). Our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were exceptional in every way. We were treated like a king and his queen, and could not have felt happier (We were able to let go of the negatives....) The negatives: 1.From our first appointment to see the venue, we loved it. We asked specifically about having a cocktail style dinner (with stations) instead of a sit down dinner. At that point, Jorge promised us the world and said this would be no problem. We made the mistake of booking BEFORE we had a food tasting, which was only bothersome because when we asked for the tasting (as we got closer to developing our menu) we were told they couldn't provide a tasting for our type of event (stations). They only provide tastings for sit down dinners (not sure why the difference, we would have been happy tasting the sit down entrees, just to get a sense of the food). Luckily, the evening of the event, everyone raved about the food (I barely got to eat) so it seemed like it worked out in the end, but made the planning process a little bumpy and stressful. Also, some of the foods we chose (and printed on our menu) were substituted with other things. Perhaps because we had so many choices at a variety of stations, they figured we would not notice... 2. You have to book one of two florists that they contract with. OR you can buy out the florists for an additional $1500, and then hire any florist you wish. Neither of the Royalton florists were any bargain, nor was I impressed with them in any way. At all. Unprofessional, lazy, and made you feel like they were trying to do you a favor (when you are paying them thousands for flowers). I chose one over the other just to move forward (it was the lesser of two evils) and was stressed about the flowers the entire process. I saw 4 samples over 6 months (had to keep asking for another sample that MATCHED the picture I had provided) and NONE of them came close to matching the PHOTO I provided as a guide. TWO days before my wedding, I went to see the arrangements and they were STILL Wrong!! UGH. I had a stomach ache going into my day...worried that the flowers would be a mess. On the day, the arrangements were CLOSER to my picture, acceptable at least. Then the delivery guy told our best man (who was handling the tips) that he expected more $$ as a tip. He actually told our best man that he expected at least $100 more than we gave him. So rude. (I'll review the florist separately, but since the Royalton sort of forces you into one of two...I had to share here). I'd try to negotiate with Royalton BEFORE booking that you want to use your own florist without having to buy anything out.

the conversation with catering selections, but here food is the last thing talked about because the chef makes anything you want. My wife and I consider ourselves to be foodies and the food is exceptional here. The venue itself is elegant. The mansion and grounds are exceptionally well kept. With the fireplaces and the pictures of my kids on the mantels it felt we were at home. We held the ceremony in the garden- it was truly magical. The Royalton could not have a better staff. From George the matre' d to Michelle, the bridal attendant, to the wait staff, all of the bridal parties and guests needs were anticipated and attended to. All my guests raved about the service. For my wife and myself the experience we had at the Royalton was beyond our wildest dreams. I could not thank them enough for making my daughters wedding truly special.

ommend if you want fantastic service, exceptional food and a gorgeous, homey venue.

lies, and guests. I plan events for work all the time and needed to go with a place that had a staff I could trust. As soon as I walked in and was greeted by the professional staff, I knew that was the place. From the beginning of our planning until our wedding day, they were a joy to work with and our guests have not stopped talking about the food and the service. It was wonderful and I would highly recommend it.

tic, to the elegant entry foyer, to the outdoor courtyard and the bride/groom rooms to get ready in, every detail is absolutely perfect. The fact that we were able to get married outdoors in a beautifully decorated tent meant so much to us. Mike, George, and the entire staff were there for us every minute of the day so that we didn't have to worry about a thing! They are willing to work with you right down to the smallest detail. Even our guests are still talking about how perfect the entire evening was, including the amazing food! Mike T., the general manager, is one of the most respectful and professional individuals we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. We can't thank Mike, George, and the entire staff at the Royalton enough for making our day a true fairy-tale wedding, it was simply breathtaking.

. The beauty of this place is that they never advertise, it's one wedding at a time, and anyone who ever goes falls in love. If you're looking for a perfect spot for your wedding, look no further.

nd in NYC, and nothing compared to The Royalton. Gerard, Mike and George were wonderful and worked with us to create a beautiful reception. We were able to customize our menu from the passed appetizers to the dessert and everything was absolutely delicious. People are still raving about their filet mignon! The space was gorgeous and we had the entire house the whole day! The service was excellent and I never saw an empty wine glass! The day of the wedding went off without a hitch and I have the Royalton and their excellent staff to thank for it!

lous! George, our maitre'd had our wedding running so smoothly. Everything was great, right down to the monogramed napkins. Anything specific we wanted at our wedding was provided. Gerard was a pleasure to work with and made sure that we were happy the whole time. Everyone there made sure that we had nothing to worry about or stress about the day. The food at the Royalton was absolutely amazing! And one of the most important items of the wedding to us was the food. Our guests could not believe the amount of food provided for the cocktail hour and the size of the entrees served. Anything we wanted was served, right down to the design and flavor of our wedding cake. If you are looking for a elegant and classy wedding, then I would definitely suggest the Royalton. The food is amazing, the service is the best and the venue is beautiful!

delicious!

wedding was a little "skimpier" than at the tasting. The plates did not seem as full, and I noticed an item or two missing from the salad that was in the salad at the tasting. However, everything was delicious. The bridal attendant was very helpful as was all of the staff. Our biggest disappointment, however, was the after party. For the price we paid, the food was not as described. We were offered zeppoles that we thought would be freshly fried in paper bags with powdered sugar. They were simply sitting pre-fried in a chafing dish. We also had chicken fingers, sliders, and fries. All of these were sitting in chafing dishes at one small station with just one server and were pre-cooked. I have been to other venues where the after party was similar to the cocktail hour with passed snacks and comfort food. This was nothing like that. We paid way too much for an extra hour of an open bar and $100 worth of frozen and pre-cooked food. Despite all this, the quality of the reception itself and the service were great.
