About this venue

Sea Cliff Manor is a mansion wedding venue located in Sea Cliff, New York. When hosting a wedding at this elegant site, you will feel as if you stepped back in time. This mansion, which was originally called the Sans Souci, whisks couples and guests back to a turn-of-the-century party. The Gatsby-esque atmosphere will infuse class and elegance into any wedding's theme and make ceremonies and receptions simply unforgettable. Additionally, during your stay in this historic venue, you will be able to enjoy sweeping, hilltop views of the North Shore of Long Island. Best of all, the entire mansion and its grounds will be all yours on your big day because the team only books one event at a time.

The greatest wedding venue on Long Island!!1

If you are looking to get married here, book it IMMEDIATELY! This venue, the vibes, Ian and his staff, the food, the ambiance, everything you could imagine about your picture perfect wedding venue, Sea Cliff Manor will do for you. One of the positives of this venue is that they only book one wedding here at a time, so the entire Sea Cliff Manor staff are able to put their hearth and souls into your wedding. You will be so happy that you chose to have your wedding here. You're able to truly enjoy your special day because the entire Sea Cliff staff handle everything. Some of the most stunning parts of Sea Cliff Manor are the beautiful ceremony space that overlook the water, cocktail hour outside with heaters, string lights and delicious food, and last but certainly not least, the stunning and one of a kind dining room and dance floor. I feel so grateful to now be a part of the Sea Cliff Manor family.

Highly, highly recommend!

From the very beginning of planning to the final moments of our wedding day, the team at Sea Cliff Manor exceeded every expectation. They welcomed our family and friends with open arms and treated everyone with genuine kindness, care, and absolute class.
Ian was a constant source of calm and reassurance. His attention to detail is unmatched, and his positive, infectious energy made the entire day feel effortless. He did not miss a beat.
Daniella was my bridal attendant she was absolutely incredible and was always one step ahead. She made sure we ate and had the perfect amount of alone time.
Sophia is the definition of elegance. Her knowledge of Sea Cliff Manor, paired with her energy, made choosing this venue an easy and exciting decision.
Donna had several meetings with us leading up to the big day and always made the process personal warm and inviting.

We are endlessly grateful and cannot thank the entire Sea Cliff Manor family enough for making our wedding day truly perfect. There is not one thing we would change.
Highly recommend!!

8/2/25 Wedding

We got married on 8/2/25 and it was an absolute dream! SCM was amazing! It was the only venue we toured and we immediately knew we wanted to get married there. We didn't want a cookie cutter banquet hall, and SCM offers an intimate setting that was exactly what we wanted. We loved that they only do one wedding a day so you get the team’s undivided attention. The water views, grounds and sunset were absolutely gorgeous. SCM was very reasonably priced compared to the other options we were considering, and for everything that's included it really is an amazing deal for a Long Island wedding. Our guests raved about the food - everything was insanely delicious. Ian made sure the day ran smoothly and everything went according to plan. He and his team made sure everything was set up the way we wanted to and that our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. Our family members have described our wedding as perfect, and we have the team at SCM to thank for that. Thank you SCM team for everything!

If you want a worry-free magical wedding Night Look no further, Sea Cliff Manor is all you need

It is so hard to find the right words to describe just how amazing and magical Sea Cliff Manor really is. My husband and I got married here on December 13th, 2024, and it was the best night of our entire lives. Such an amazing way to start this new chapter in life together as one, not only did everything go better than we could have ever imagined, but any issues that may have arisen, never even crossed our paths. The Matre de Ian and bridal assistant Daniella took care of everything and made sure our special night went exactly, actually even better than we could have ever expected or dreamed of. I don't even know where to begin, and I'm not even sure if there are words to describe just how spectacular they are, but if you are looking for a flawless, magical, worry free, exceptional wedding night, then book Sea Cliff Manor as your wedding venue.

The first thing that caught our eye about Sea Cliff Manor was that this venue only caters to one wedding a day, which allows them to put all of their attention into your very special day. The entire wedding party had the opportunity to use this venue from 12pm until the end of the night for whatever use you would prefer. The second thing that caught our eye was that Sea Cliff Manor does not bring the food into the venue, it is ACTUALLY cooked in house by the most amazing and fantastic chefs. The owner Nick assured us that the food at his venue would be exceptional and boy oh boy was he correct. There was NOT ONE complaint about food, from cocktail hour all the way to dessert and trust me our guests were amazed (because this just doesn't happen at many weddings). Ian and Daniella set up a sweetheart table and made sure we had the chance to enjoy everything before starting the party and for dinner we were able to get one of everything. Throughout the entire night the bartenders were so amazing that there wasn't one line while waiting for cocktails, which again I have never seen at any other wedding. Like I said earlier our night was beyond magical and our guests were able to genuinely enjoy themselves and feel the love in the air.

I can go on and on but as you can see, we do not have one complaint about Sea Cliff Manor, not one and you would be beyond lucky to land this amazing venue for your wedding. I can assure you firsthand that it will be the best night of your life! I would like to take a moment to truly thank the entire Seacliff Manor staff for being beyond spectacular and making our night truly a night to remember for a lifetime. There is no better way to start this new chapter in life as one, with the love of your life, than at the one and only Sea Cliff Manor, it truly was magical

The best wedding day ever!

Having our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor was the best decision we made. From day one, we knew we were in great hands. I cannot say enough how amazing the people at SCM are to work with (especially Ian and Camille). The day of the wedding I did not feel one bit of stress because SCM truly handled everything. They took my vision and executed it perfectly. The food was AMAZING and our guests could not stop raving about it. As a bride and groom they made sure we were fed well and always had drinks in our hands, which was very appreciated. They truly are the best at SCM and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Top Notch!

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!

Above & Beyond

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!

Fairytale Wedding thanks to the SCM Family

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!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor, and it was nothing short of a fairytale come true. Every aspect of our special day, from the fantastic food to the impeccable service, was beyond exceptional.

The moment we stepped onto the grounds of Sea Cliff Manor, we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our love. The venue's stunning architecture, manicured grounds, and breathtaking views of the water created a romantic and magical atmosphere that left our guests in awe.

What truly set Sea Cliff Manor apart was the exceptional service we received. Ian, the maître d', and Camille, our bridal attendant, were the stars of the evening. They were not just there to facilitate our day; they anticipated our needs, ensuring everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes. From coordinating with vendors to helping the bridal party and guests, Ian and Camille were professional, attentive, and incredibly kind. Their dedication and expertise made us feel like royalty.

Our decision to choose Sea Cliff Manor as our wedding venue was undoubtedly one of the best choices we made for our special day and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Sea Cliff Manor to any couple looking for a picturesque, elegant, and meticulously managed wedding venue. Thank you to the entire team at Sea Cliff Manor for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience, and a heartfelt thank you to Ian and Camille for being the dream team that ensured our day went off without a hitch. Our wedding was a fairytale, and it was all thanks to you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
