de Seversky Mansion is an exclusive 1920's Gold Coast Mansion with a private drive on West Road from Northern Boulevard. A true hidden gem that will leave your guests in awe. We host only one wedding at a time with the option for full exclusivity of our property for the day. You will then have access to our suites to get ready on site and enjoy the full Mansion experience for your wedding day.

First owned by inventor and philanthropist Alfred I. du Pont, NYIT de Seversky Mansion was originally built in 1918 to be his private home. Over the decades, it had multiple owners and residents, before being purchased and restored by the New York Institute of Technology in 1972. It now boasts multiple designated event spaces for couples to exchange their vows among vintage, detailed beauty. One of the outdoor spaces, on the west side of the main house is The Patio, that overlooks the onsite lake and surrounding forestry. For a more nature-inspired ceremony, couples can place their altar in front of the mature Linden Tree. Its high stature and cascading branches create a stunning backdrop, while also offering shade for your loved ones. The venue’s full glass Garden Room is an ideal choice for couples that want an indoor option, while still having an unobstructed outdoor view. After your ceremony ends, your guests can then move to the Ballroom for a classic Traditional Wedding up to 146 guests or our other styles. Vintage architecture, floor-to-ceiling windows, and antique chandeliers will add a breathtaking, sophisticated aesthetic to your evening.

NYIT de Seversky Mansion can host weddings during any time of the year, and presents a unique ambience for every season. The team’s event specialists will work with you during your planning process, to ensure that everything exceeds your expectations. The onsite catering team will prepare all their mouth-watering dishes in-house, and customize their cuisine to suit any allergy and dietary needs.

Our Signature Style is our European for up to 200 guests, with a seamless transition from ceremony if on site, to cocktail hour, where your guests then enjoy the full culinary and dining experience with no interruptions. Lastly, dancing and formalities will then occur with dessert stations, and the celebration!

John and Anthony's Wedding

A heartfelt thank you to each of you —Dana and the entire team at de Seversky— for everything you did to make our wedding so special. You took such amazing care of us—from our first conversations in the spring until we said goodbye after our reception. Everything was spectacular. You nailed it every step of the way. The staff and service were impeccable, Chef—the food was amazing; simply over the top and perfect in every way, and the personal attention that you all gave us was so kind and made us feel special. We couldn’t have been happier with the day and the entire experience . .. and we are still receiving raving compliments from our guests about the venue, the food and the entire evening.

We are especially grateful for your patience and flexibility with us all along the way and appreciated so very much that you were so positive and patient about the weather on our wedding day to make sure our preferred ceremony location could still happen—the end result was magical.

We could go on and on as we have nothing but sincere praise, profound respect and deep appreciation for all that you and your team have done for us. We’ll never forget our special day with all of you. It was such a pleasure to work with each of you and we truly feel like we made some great friends along the way. Thank you again for everything.

Magical Atmosphere

Our August wedding at NYIT de Seversky Mansion was absolutely perfect! From the moment we began planning, Dana and Nicolette were incredibly helpful, answering every question and expertly guiding us through the process in just eight months. Their support made the entire experience seamless and stress-free – we are so thankful! While we envisioned a beautiful summer wedding, the Mansion's ambiance truly shone. The ceremony was intimate and created a magical atmosphere we will never forget. We are so grateful to Dana, Nicolette, and the whole team at the venue for making our wedding day so special, intimate, and memorable. NYIT de Seversky Mansion is a dream location, and we are so happy we chose it for our wedding!

Dream wedding!

I had my wedding at the NYIT de Seversky Mansion (European Style) and it was truly a dream come true! The venue is simply stunning, both in person and in photographs. The staff and everyone we have met at the venue in the entire process were so kind, friendly, professional, and made us all feel so taken care of. On the day of, they kept everything running on time and made sure all of our needs were met! Many guests complimented the food, from the cocktail hour to the delicious entrees. We even had multiple guests tell us that ours was the best wedding they had ever attended! If you want a beautiful and unforgettable event, I would strongly encourage you to visit the venue and grounds to see it for yourself and experience the magic!

Beautiful Classic Venue

What a breathtaking venue! We had a wonderful Christmas wedding at the de Seversky Mansion and could not have asked for anything better. Dana was attentive throughout the entire planning process, and staff the day-of was top notch (shout out to Dora and John!). We opted for the European style reception and I highly recommend because you get to utilize all the beautiful rooms of the mansion. And last but certainly not least, the food was amazing and portions are generous - we got so many compliments about how delicious everything was! We had such a memorable day - thank you!

Dream Wedding!!!!

We can not thank you enough! Our wedding was Perfect from start to finish. Just like a fairytale 🤍.
The Mansion was Gorgeous! The Bridal Suite was a dream!! That baby blue was so sweet and each and every corner of that bridal suite was like being on the set of some glamorous movie. Our moms were blown away and my bridesmaids just wanted to live there 🙈🤣😍. Everything was within reach and we had so much room and felt so comfortable. Valerie our Bridal Attendant was very sweet and attentive.
Eddie and his groomsmen absolutely loved their suite. They took so many amazing photos in there .
The entire Mansion and the gorgeous Linden Trees and land and view is tattooed in my mind. It felt like we were on the set of The Great Gatsby😍. The guests have not stopped calling us and texting and complimenting your venue and kept calling it a Diamond in the Rough and such a Hidden Gem.
We had our PreCeremony in the Cocktail Room and it was so beautiful and special .
Our Ceremony was Magical by the BiG Beautiful Magic Tree 🌳. We were so happy the weather was in our favor although your garden room is so lovely as well.
Cocktail hour.... AMAZING!!!!!
The Food was delicious, Delicious!!!!!
John was super attentive and so friendly and was always there to make sure we didn’t need anything and that everything was Perfect. He was super attentive to both our parents and really really cared and it showed.
Our guests were beyond impressed and amazed at the food and service and intimate atmosphere . Dana, it was so lovely and cozy.
We had so much fun lining up during the procession. John was there to guide us and had us all so comfortable and laughing .
The doors opened and we couldn’t wait to enter the next part of our Amazing Wedding. The room was was set up so perfectly !
The tables looked so elegant and were placed so well . That room is so gorgeous and cozy it doesn’t need much to be perfect as it is but all your attention to detail and thought for the dance floor to feel cozy was not unnoticed. John was telling us how you wanted the dance floor size perfect for us and it was.
The food at dinner was delicious. Our guests all said this was not only the most beautiful venue they have ever been too , so intimate and dreamlike, but the best food ever they had at any event or wedding .
Really really want to thank the amazing chefs and kitchen staff because all their love for their art and their care was tasted in the perfection of their food . Honestly, We’d give each one a hug if We could .

Fairytale Experience

Let me start by saying our wedding was postponed in March 2020 due to the pandemic. We rescheduled and during that time Dana (manager) was very understanding and always so patient with us. Our wedding took place on 6/26/22 and it was amazing. The staff was great and everything was taken care of. We didn’t have to worry about anything as Dana and the other staff members coordinated the day so beautifully. The food was great and till this day guest keep telling me how much they enjoyed the food and the friendly bartenders. My bridal attendant Dora was so sweet and attentive. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. The grounds are gorgeous for photos. I am so glad we chose this venue and we are forever grateful to Dana and the other staff members for making our wedding day memorable and providing exceptional service.
