05/31/24 Wedding

My wedding was on May 31, 2024, and it really was the best day. I feel so fortunate to have had my wedding at Snug Harbor. It has always been one of my favorite places on Staten Island, and when I got engaged, I knew I had to have my wedding there.

From the beginning, the Celebrate team was responsive, flexible, and helpful. On the day of the wedding, the staff could not have been kinder and more professional. The Tuscan garden, where we hosted our ceremony and cocktail hour, was so beautiful. The reception was hosted in the Great Hall, and I could not believe how amazing the room looked. The food and drinks were great as well.

There are endless spots to take photos, and my guests enjoyed the grounds and venue.

The only opportunity for improvement I experienced was the upkeep of ceremony grounds. Snug Harbor is a public park, and the wedding venue does not manage the grounds. However, due to the cost that is being paid and when weddings are being hosted on specific grounds sites, Celebrate should ensure minimal maintenance. Two days before my wedding, I was extremely upset to find the Tuscan garden space filled with weeds, unmowed grass, and untrimmed bushes. I addressed my reasonable concerns with Celebrate and was told nothing could be done, which I did not find fair or acceptable. I escalated my concerns, and the grounds were cleaned up over the next two days. I feel this situation should never have happened in the first place, and was completely avoidable. However, I am thankful the area was cleaned up, and it really did look so beautiful on the day of my wedding.

My wedding was truly the best day for my husband, and I. Snug Harbor was the perfect place for us and it is an incredible, unique, classic venue.

Great day!

We loved our wedding at Snug Harbor. Josephine & Jessica were thorough and very professional taking away a lot of the stress and anxiety that comes with a wedding day. We had two in person meetings, one in the beginning and one shortly before the wedding, and constant email contact. They made sure to have every single detail that was needed for the big day. We ran into 0 problems the day of the wedding (not that we know of at least, which is even nicer) thanks to them. Our bridal attendant the day of, Alva, was an angel. She helped me cheer up about the rain “ruining” the day. She was incredibly helpful when we were getting our pictures done making sure to have umbrellas for us and helping me hold my dress to make sure it didn’t get wet or dirty. The day went smoothly with little worry on our end thanks to the team at Snug Harbor. I would talk more on the grounds but I feel like that beauty speaks for itself.
