Outstanding day because of great food and service

My daughter recently had her wedding and reception at the Hempstead House, part of the Sands Point Preserve. The place itself is beautiful and has a spectacular view. But more importantly the service was outstanding, and the food provided by Philip Stone Caterers was simply amazing in both taste and it’s unique style. The two lead people Emily and Mo were extremely attentive to all our needs throughout the whole planning process. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a great wedding reception.

Best Decision of the wedding process

I couldn't recommend Emily & Mo enough. My wife and I are fortunate enough to have been to some pretty great weddings but ours was out of this world incredible. People who don't hand out compliments easily were extremely impressed with the venue and overall service. I work in sales and I can't put into words how great Emily is. She essentially became a wedding planner and helped us out immensely and never complained. I plan a ton of events for work and over my 15+ years I've never come across someone as confident and willing to get the job done 100% like Emily and Mo. Honestly, don't know what I would have done without them. I've thanked them many times and still doesn't feel like enough. For anyone thinking of Hempstead House, please take this as an enormous endorsement. They hit a grand slam with our wedding.

Such a Beautiful Venue

My cousin just got married here in November and it was truly a dream. The food was delicious, the staff was extremely attentive and the venue is beyond beautiful! This is the type of place every girl dreams to get married in. This was truly a wedding night to remember and hope to come back soon!
