The Riveria Waterfront Mansion A Beautiful Hidden Gem in Massapequa on the water

I wish I could find the right words to say how happy my husband and I are with the Riveria. The venue itself is amazing, but more importantly the people, their staff are even more amazing! Once you walk inside, you will be greeted with the best staff and crew on Long Island. What a great group of kind and talented staff! Every detail was taking of. We had a few things that didn’t come out right, or arrive in time (nothing to do with the Riveria or staff).. but they did everything in their power to correct it and fix it for me, Their attention to detail is top notch. They treat you like you’re the most important person on your wedding day. Everything I asked for they did, and even found a last minute head count and table seating that needed to be done correctly. Today, is the day after my wedding, so I’m still in that bride fog and glow…I can’t recall everyone’s names. I wish I could list all the gentlemen and ladies that ran the day. Julie and Maria, (plus so many more) Thank you. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the day outstanding! This is a well run machine of a Venue. The grounds are perfectly maintained. What makes us so happy is our daughters, (and we have 5 daughters) said they would love to get married here!! So, we will be back to carry on the tradition. I hosted my oldest daughters communion party here to. Top notch, with such reasonable prices considering what today’s vendors charge. The amount you receive for what we paid was outstanding! So cheers to the Riveria! We will be back! Cheers and hats off to you! Thank you! All our love Steven and Doreen.

January 2026 Wedding

The Riviera was absolutely perfect in every way. From start to finish, communication was easy, seamless, and stress-free. The venue itself is stunning, the staff is incredible, and everything was set up exactly as I envisioned. Even though it was a cold January wedding, everything was still absolutely perfect and so well executed. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the entire experience. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding flawless. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would recommend The Riviera a thousand times over.

Couldn’t have chosen a better venue

We were looking for a rustic elegant place and I always thought the Riviera was out of our budget. Since the moment we walked in, we knew this was the perfect place for our Christmas theme wedding. They helped us through out the entire year of planning. Always answered our questions, very responsive, and I have to give a big big shout out to the bride attendant. She is amazing!
Our Christmas wedding vision came to life, and it was amazing! We highly recommend The Riviera Waterfront Mansion.

Best wedding ever!

From start to finish, Riviera did NOT disappoint !! My wife and I had the absolute best time !! As soon as we arrived, they were ready to greet us and the bridal party and accommodate us in anyway possible. We immediately got into pictures with our photographer and Christina and Julie were extremely attentive and constantly catered to us and made sure we were comfortable and kept the drinks coming !! LOL Hopefully we weren't too much for them but they were absolutely amazing. My wife and I were so excited for the day and enjoying every moment of it that she and I did not really have much of an appetite and we are kicking ourselves because the food was SOOOO good !!! We jokingly asked if they could wrap up our dinners and cocktail hour food because we were dancing the night away and wanted some time to relax for a little bit during cocktail hour and couldn't eat and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The day after the wedding we had so much food to bring home and it was still amazing the day after !! Every service they provided was top notch, from the food, to the bartenders and drinks being served to any little accommodation we needed they were there for us !! We could not stop hearing from our guests how great everything was as well ! They really went above and beyond for EVERYTHING and we definitely heard it from our guests as well. Prior to the big day Marie was always there for us in the banquet office and willing to help out in anyway. There were times my wife and I wanted to come and practice our first dance getting a feel for the dance floor and she ENCOURAGED it. Having the pleasure of working with them and choosing Riviera for our venue was such an amazing experience and I HIGHLY encourage anyone in the Nassau county area OR Suffolk area seek them out because you will be extremely happy you did !! Overall, an amazing experience and beyond happy we chose Riviera Waterfront Mansion as the place my wife and I got married!! Forever grateful and forever engrained in our minds as the best day ever!

Best wedding!!

My husband and I got married at Riviera Waterfront Mansion last month and it was the best day ever!! The venue is absolutely STUNNING!!! Looking for a venue is a huge deal and can be very stressful but once we found this venue we knew it was exactly what we wanted! Riviera Waterfront has a rustic feel with a modern touch and with a beautiful outside area for a ceremony and cocktail hour right on the water! It is literally the most perfect venue! It is so so so beautiful! Our guests were so impressed! The workers were soooo sweet and helpful! From the first day there we worked with Isaiah, he was so cool and he helped us book our dream wedding! He had such fun, kind, and genuine energy to him! He's a big reason we booked with Riviera! We had the best time, I wish we could get married here every year! Thank you everyone for making our day spectacular!

Nothing but positives!!

I have nothing but positive things to say about the riviera! From the day we met them at coliseum for the wedding expo, to touring, to booking and the day of the wedding, we have all positive experiences. Irene is incredible and was professional and helped us book with ease. We dealt with Shawn a lot for our meetings and he was so kind and caring and answered all of our questions with details. The day of the wedding was amazing. The bridal attendants were incredible. everytime we turned around they were there to help and made the day from so smooth. I would recommend the riviera to anyone and everyone

Dream Wedding

This venue was amazing. Everyone was complimenting the outdoor views during the cocktail hour and the inside was just as great. A unique, rustic look and a really good size, not too big where everyone is far apart.

The attendants were were extremely attentive, particularly Christina, who took care of every little thing for us on the day.

If we had to do it all again, we would absolutely book the Riviera again.

Fairytale Wedding

This place is a fairytale castle. It’s absolutely beautiful, especially at night when all the twinkle lights make it feel magical. Our guests had an amazing time and couldn’t stop complimenting how beautiful everything was. My bridal attendant was the sweetest, and the maître d’ was very attentive, making sure everything was taken care of.

There was only a small challenge with the day’s itinerary, realistically, you’ll want at least an extra 30–60 minutes for photos to avoid guests seeing you in your dress as they arrive. Thankfully, I chose to do a first look at the church beforehand.

Aside from that small detail, the staff was always professional. It was everything I dreamed of and really was the perfect wedding.
