Wainwright House

Wainwright House is an absolutely stunning venue that offers a picturesque setting overlooking the water. The caterer and event planner Bartley & Sage are detailed in ensuring your vision for your event is achieved. They offered an elegant atmosphere for our Wedding Anniversary that made it perfect. The Wainwright House itself boasts timeless architecture and charming interiors, seamlessly blending classic sophistication with modern amenities. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Its expansive grounds and waterfront views create an idyllic backdrop for all celebrations. All of our guests were impressed with this venue and even booked it for their upcoming event. It's truly a gem that elevates any experience with its unparalleled charm and elegance.

The Wainwright House provided my husband and I our dream wedding and the best of both worlds. While we are local to NYC and are very connected to a church in our neighborhood, we also wanted a beautiful venue with an outdoor setting. The Wainwright House was everything we dreamed of. The elegance of the historical mansion, paired with the beautiful water setting, and the ability to have different locations within one venue for our cocktail hour, reception, and after party, and the service made it an incredible choice. The tent itself is draped so beautifully. One major benefit of this venue is that you get to work with Bartleby & Sage for catering. Over a month later, all of our guests are still raving about the food at our wedding. The passed h'orderves were so delicious and beautiful. We were able to completely customize the menu to match out taste without quality be compromised at all. Your guest will be saying this is the BEST food they have ever had at a wedding. Bartleby & Sage was a guiding light throughout our special day and we are forever grateful to have decided to work with Leslie and her team.

Our experience with Bartleby & Sage was extraordinary; if we could give 10 stars we would. Our wedding on October 19 at the Wainwright House exceeded our expectations 10 fold. We tried to think of one thing we would change to improve the experience - and cannot. The Wainwright House is stunning - much nicer in person! the properties on site where guests can stay were gorgeous. Fascinating history and unbelievable location. The staff, and Mary the manager were available and very accommodating. Leslie, Barbara and the team from Bartleby & Sage were consistently professional, available, kind, supportive and true professionals. When we mentioned to other vendors we were using them they always responded by saying that Leslie and her team are top notch, and they were. Our wedding was elegant, warm, and perfectly executed. The wait staff were professional, elegant and very kind. Delivering hot food, all together, gracefully and quickly. Nothing went wrong. Our guests are STILL talking about the food and the elegance of the experience. We are both trained chefs (with high standards) and were incredibly impressed with the quality, preparation and presentation of the food, and Leslie's thoughtfulness and generosity. Our cake was stunning....and delicious. Leslie and her team handled situations with grace, professionalism and kindness, and created the exact experience we discussed with her. My sisters MIL told her that my sister had a great wedding, but this was the best she's ever attended. We heard that repeatedly. We cannot adequately express our appreciation and gratitude to the entire team for creating a beautiful and memorable experience for us and our guests that we are proud of and thoroughly enjoyed. They really helped create what will be some of our fondest and most meaningful lifelong memories. Thanks so much! Sabrina & Michael

We loved getting married at Wainwright House; it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Echoing other reviewers, any negative reviews were from before Bartleby & Sage became the point of contact for Wainwright's weddings. Wainwright was such a beautiful space and easy venue to work with that we decided to also have our departure brunch in the manor. Wainwright House is absolutely stunning. The manor itself was a beautiful setting for family photos and our first look. We used the second floor rooms and library to get ready. It was a clean, comfortable, and large space. The house is in good condition and there are multiple bathrooms upstairs and downstairs. There's also a bedroom where the bride and groom can stay. It was perfect for the bridal getting ready photos. The grounds overlook the Long Island sound and have a view of the Manhattan skyline in the distance. We held our ceremony and cocktail hour on the grounds before moving into the tent. One note is that the outdoor ceremony space is on grass that slightly declines towards the water. It wa perfect visually and acoustically, but guests with limited mobility might need some help getting to their seats. The grounds have a beautiful sunset over the water. Wainwright has an outdoor tent with the same view. Outdoor music does have to stop by 10pm, but we seamlessly moved indoors for an after party with a DJ in the manor. The venue is 5-15 minutes from hotels in Rye, Greenwich, and White Plains. Rye has a lot to do for guests, as well as bars for guests who want to continue the festivities. We absolutely loved working with and getting married at Wainwright House!
