Exceptional and perfect

If you are even considering Cortlandt Colonial Restaurant and Ballroom for your wedding – STOP CONSIDERING AND BOOK THEM NOW! My recent wedding this past Saturday wasn't just an event; it was an absolute, flawless FAIRYTALE, and it's entirely thanks to the phenomenal team, especially the unparalleled owner and maître d', Evan!

From the very first meeting, Evan instilled complete confidence. But nothing prepared us for the sheer perfection of our wedding day. Let's break down the magic:

The Venue: Breathtaking Elegance! Words cannot do justice to how stunning Cortlandt Colonial is. Impeccably maintained, radiating timeless charm. The ceremony space? GOOSEBUMPS! Lush, naturally gorgeous greenery, stunning flowers everywhere, and that enchanting waterfall created a backdrop so spectacular we needed ZERO extra decorations! It was effortlessly, naturally breathtaking. The ballroom was equally elegant and inviting.

The Food: Culinary Standing Ovation! Guests are still blowing up our phones raving about the food! This wasn't just wedding catering; this was a gourmet dining experience. Every single bite was bursting with flavor, perfectly prepared, and presented beautifully. And the DESSERT STATION?! OUTSTANDING doesn't cover it! It was a showstopper, a decadent paradise that had everyone swooning. Pure indulgence!

The Staff: Beyond Amazing! Every single member of the team was attentive, professional, warm, and genuinely seemed invested in our happiness. Service was seamless, intuitive, and utterly flawless.

EVAN: OUR WEDDING HERO! Now, let's talk about EVAN. This man isn't just an owner or maître d'; he's a WEDDING WHISPERER, A LIFESAVER, AN ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR! He didn't just manage the event; he orchestrated pure magic. His attention to detail was military-precise, ensuring everything ran smoother than silk and perfectly on time. But here's the moment that cemented him as a legend: HE FIXED MY BUSTLE! In a moment of slight panic, when neither I nor any of my bridesmaids could figure it out, Evan stepped in with calm expertise and saved the day! He truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every conceivable way. His presence was a constant reassurance – professional, kind, and utterly dedicated to making our day perfect. Working with him from day one was an absolute pleasure!

Every single detail was executed with precision and grace. The flow was perfect, the atmosphere was electric yet elegant, and the entire team made us feel like royalty. There wasn't a single hiccup, not one moment of stress – just pure, unadulterated joy from start to finish.

Cortlandt Colonial and Evan didn't just host our wedding; they delivered a once-in-a-lifetime, dream-perfect experience that exceeded our wildest expectations. The venue is gorgeous, the food is divine, the staff is exceptional, and Evan... Evan is simply THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

Fairytale Experience

From the very first time we walked the venue my husband (then fiance) fell in love the the ambiance of the venue. Evan was super flexible and was able to work within our budget and also give us tips and tricks on how to save with all other expenses. On the night of he was the perfect coordinator making sure everything and everyone was taken care of! Leaving me and my husband to be able to fully enjoy our most magical day! The food was delicious and they were even able to sneak us some to bring home. All the staff were so extremely pleasant and helpful. 20/10 recommend!

Perfect Wedding Atmosphere

Our Son's wedding was a stunningly beautiful event and Evan (event director) made the entire evening move along seamlessly.
The ceremony took place in the garden, surrounded by waterfall feature & beautiful gardens- a dreamy atmosphere.
Onto cocktail hour with abundant varieties of amazing food & drinks.
The bridal sweet was also abundant with food & drinks.
From the bride & grooms first dance, to our incredibly delicious dinner courses, that guests were raving about, to the cutting of the wedding cake, & the generous, delicious Viennese hour, the guests had a fun, & memorable evening.
Oh and yes, there was a full dance floor full of guests having a blast.
From start to finish, Cortlandt Colonial Manor delivered the best night ever!
Thank you Evan & your incredible staff.

Wedding of My Dreams

Cortlandt Colonial was the perfect venue for my husband and I. Not only did they accommodate our food allergies, they went above and beyond to make sure we had delicious food to enjoy at our wedding. The guests raved about the diversity and quality of the cocktail hour and the dinner (especially the cocktail hour). The waterfall and garden was a picturesque place for the ceremony and guests really enjoyed being able to go outside during the reception. The service was impeccable and so well organized. Evan is a delight to work with and he walks you through every detail. We would definitely recommend Cortlandt Colonial Restaurant and Ballroom!
