Wedding on 7.10.26

Our wedding at the Riviera Waterfront Mansion was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we booked, the entire process was seamless. The staff communicated with us every step of the way, answered every question promptly, and made planning feel so easy. They truly listened to our vision and brought it to life better than we could have imagined.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The grounds are beautifully maintained and created the perfect backdrop for our photos. Every corner of the property is picturesque, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was.

Cocktail hour was fantastic, with delicious food, attentive staff, and a wonderful atmosphere. Throughout the night, the service was exceptional, and everything ran so smoothly that we were able to relax and enjoy every moment.

One of the things we heard over and over from our guests was, "How did we never know this place existed?" They were amazed by the venue and couldn't believe such a gorgeous waterfront location had been hidden right in our area. We received countless compliments on the beautiful setting, the food, the service, and the overall experience.

Our wedding day was truly perfect, and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone at the Riviera Waterfront Mansion for making it such an unforgettable night. If you're looking for a venue with breathtaking views, incredible staff, outstanding food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your dream wedding come true, we wholeheartedly recommend the Riviera Waterfront Mansion.

Dream Wedding

Had the most wonderful experience at the Riviera this past weekend. Our wedding was amazing, from the wonderful staff to the delicious food, our experience at the Riviera was exceptional. Every detail is taken care of and the kindness and warmth of the staff was felt by all. They went above and beyond for us, we highly recommend this venue for any occasion. You won’t be disappointed! Shout out to Isaiah who took great care of us.

They helped make it the best day ever

As soon as we first walked into the Riviera while touring venues, we knew that it was the place for us. The grounds took our breath away, and we even started subconsciously planning logistics and decor while we got the walk-around. The staff of the Riviera helped make our wedding night the best night of our lives. Right from the start of the booking process, the office was responsive and answered our many questions as we planned our event. The grounds of the venue are stunning. The waterfront ceremony area, the cocktail hour patio, and the reception ballroom are all some of the nicest event spaces we’ve ever seen. Every inch of the venue is perfect for some amazing photos. The staff regularly went above and beyond to make our planning and our wedding feel as special as they could. For example, I have to eat gluten free. During the food tasting, we informed them ahead of time, expecting some minor accommodations like a list of what I was able to eat. Instead, we spoke with two staff members who detailed everything that could be altered, the maître d' informed us that the chef prepares everything from scratch in the kitchen, and the chef himself created an entire gluten-free tasting menu so that I could try everything. We were blown away by the level of accommodation and that really stuck out to us. Right then, we knew we had made the right choice in picking the Riviera. During the wedding itself, the staff made us feel like we were the most important people in the world. Always asking us if we were having a good time, taking candid photos on their phones to share with us, and constantly refilling our drinks & making sure we had food. Our bridal party didn’t have to lift a finger for us! Our bridal attendant and maître d' were always available throughout the night for anything we needed, and made sure we stuck to our schedule. I would easily recommend the Riviera for anyone looking for a beautiful hybrid indoor/outdoor wedding. We never stopped being blown away by the venue in every regard. Our guests, my husband, and I all had an incredible night, and we can’t thank the staff enough for their help in making our wedding so perfect.

Amazing!

The Riviera team did a wonderful job bringing our dream wedding to life. The whole team worked so hard and did an amazing job, everything was perfect. Throughout planning we asked hundreds of questions, they answered every question without hesitation and were so patient with us.

The food from cocktail hour to main course was delicious, all our guest are raving about it days later! Shout out to the chefs who did a phenomenal job!

The Viennese hour was beautiful - everyone loved how big it was, every sweet treat you can think of even an ice cream bar! We did a donut wall which we asked to be set up during the viennese hour, it was a hit and the donuts were delicious!

Our bridal attendant was attentive and made sure everything we needed was taken care of the entire night! She was awesome!

We wanted to have the beautiful bistro lights hung for the ballroom ceiling, it was stunning! Their in house vendor Gail has amazing options for ceiling decor. Definitely book her!

We booked personally with Isaiah, he is a WONDERFUL person. He made planning , which is so stressful, so easy and reassured us consistently. He left no questions unanswered, kept us calm, laughing and made everything so effortless. We are so grateful to have booked with him, he is beyond personable and it felt like we've known him for years! Were sad the wedding is over & wont get to see him like we did!

Definitely book the Riviera, you wont regret it! Thank you to the whole Riviera team

March 2026 Wedding

The Riviera was an amazing place from booking our wedding to the actual wedding night. From the first day my wife and I went the communication with everyone involved was easy and stress-free. Everyone was extremely helpful with any questions or requests that we had. The venue itself is absolutely stunning from the giant ballroom to the cocktail hour. Even on a chillier March day the pictures outside came out beautiful. The staff on the day of the wedding could not have been any better. They went above and beyond even our highest expectations. Between the venue, cocktail hour, food, and service we could not have picked a more perfect place to have our wedding. We highly recommend the Riviera to anyone looking for a wedding venue and cannot thank them enough for providing us with such a spectacular night.

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!
