We had our wedding this past Friday at the Sea Cliff Manor and I could not recommend them more! Our guests are still raving about the food, particularly the cocktail hour which we were able to have outside overlooking the water. The service was impeccable, and they pay close attention to every detail. This is the farthest thing from a "wedding factory" so if you're looking for a wedding venue that is intimate and romantic, then Seacliff Manor is your place!

There are not enough words for how wonderful our wedding at Sea Cliff was and how the entire staff went above and beyond, not only the day of but all the weeks leading up to it. The hype about Ian is so real, he kept my stress levels down and helped with anything and everything. We last minute had to move the ceremony indoors to a potential rain storm and he and the staff moved quickly and set up the indoor ceremony space so beautifully a half hour before guests arrived. Daniela was my bridal attendant and she was an absolute angel. She was my right hand all day and was so helpful from the second I got off the bus and arrived at the venue. My brother in law ripped his pants before the ceremony and she spent 30+ minutes sewing them back together. I would not change a single thing about the day and that was all because of the entire staff at Sea Cliff. All the guests raved about the food and flow of the evening, and we all had a blast. My husband and I could not recommend Sea Cliff more, you're in GREAT hands if you book your wedding here!

We could not be happier with everything that Sea Cliff Manor provided us with from our very first meeting with Nick to the moment we said good bye to Ian and stepped out of the door after picking up our decorations. Professional and detail oriented doesn’t even begin to describe the team at SCM.

From our first meeting with Nick, we knew that this was the wedding venue for us. Their packages and prices stood out to us as incredibly reasonable for what we got included with our wedding. On top of that, Nick was reassuring and is in the business to make sure that your special day is exactly as you envision it.

As time went on, the SCM team, especially Donna and Ian, were very responsive to all of our questions and made sure that no question went unanswered. The communication from the venue was superb and left us knowing that we were in great hands with people who know the industry inside and out.

The lead up to the big day went so smoothly and the SCM once again made every effort to make sure that we were making informed decisions. The pre-wedding tasting was a wonderful time with our parents where we got to taste samples of highlighted menu items. This helped us make decisions for our cocktail hour and dinner choices. More on the food later.

Ian is the true MVP.. some would even say that he’s the GOAT. We’ve met with and spoke to Ian a few times before our final details meeting. We knew that he was fantastic, but the final details meeting left us feeling appreciated, heard and supported. Ian ran through all of the minor details at length and left no stone unturned. We went over the menu, drink options, timeframe of the day, vendors (including outside vendors) and even the finer details about table set up, linens, and specialty drinks. Ian made everything work and was so reassuring that our vision for the day would come to fruition.

Now, for the big day:

- Pre-ceremony photos: as we were working with our photographer, the SCM team made sure that all of our needs were met. They provided some snacks for the bridal suite and provided drinks for our thirstier guests. The bridal suites are newly renovated and immaculately kept. They fit the vibe of the venue and are a comfy, calm place for the bridal party to relax before the day really starts. As we were taking photos, Ian and the team were working tirelessly to get the venue ready for the day.

- The ceremony: the beautiful space outside was picture perfect and set up with such attention to detail. Ian and our Bridal Attendant, Camille, kept everything on pace and worked their hardest to keep our bridal party in line and moving from pictures to the ceremony.

- Cocktail Hour: While we would have loved to have the cocktail hour outside on their gorgeous property, we had to make the decision to have it inside due to some cold, windy weather. This ended up not being a setback or disappointment at all. Their indoor set up for inclement weather was spacious and gave all of our guests the opportunity to have space to eat, drink and mingle. The best part was that the SCM team set up the bride and groom table in the perfect spot to be able to eat and say hello all of our guests passing by. Our Bridal Attendant was adamant about us eating and getting ready to have that stamina for partying into the evening. The cocktail hour food was a hit and we had so many options to choose from to make sure that our guests had a diverse selection. Our specialty drinks were also a hit, which was made possible by the SCM bartending staff. They came up with some amazing creations based on our non traditional drink recipes. Again, anything we asked, they made it happen even better than we could have imagined.

- The dinner: All of our guests commented after the wedding about how amazing the food was. Sometimes at other wedding venues it can be clear that the food was mass produced without much thought or care. This is NOT the case at SCM. All of our chosen dinners came out to perfection and had been plated with beautiful attention to detail. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection, the chicken stayed juicy and flavorful, and the salmon was flaky and tender without over or under cooking. The kitchen staff here knows what they’re doing, for sure.

- The reception: Everything we needed, everything we could ask for, and everything we had questions about, Ian and Camille were on it! Ian took the lead on EVERYTHING and was so involved in the small details. It is so clear that Ian not only takes pride in his work, but also absolutely relishes in being the logistical and creative director that he is (he also has some great cologne and the fit is immaculate). During our reception as we partied the night away, the SCM staff took care of everything we needed to make sure that we could enjoy our moment without worry. Any issues that came up with outside vendors, they handled with poise and professionalism. Without their support, we would have been so stressed trying to make everything right. We are so beyond grateful for the amazing staff at this high class venue.

I’m not sure what else to say that might convince you to have your special day here. Sea Cliff should be on your list—at the top of your list. We were truly treated like family during the planning process, and treated like royalty on our wedding day.

Thank you SO much to Nick, Ian, Donna, Camille and the incredible staff of the Sea Cliff Manor. You made our day truly unforgettable!
