Davenport manison

My daughter’s wedding was two weeks ago at the Davenport Mansion. It was an amazing day and a big reason was Guy and his attention to detail. He answered all my questions and on the day of the wedding I did not need to worry about anything. He handled it all. He had said to me “ you hired professionals to do what they need to do. Now let them do their job”. Because of the great people who we hired it all ran smoothly. I was so lucky that I was able to visit with my guests, dance and enjoy the wedding!
Anna, the bridal attendant, gets high praise from the bride and groom. She was attentive to them all night. Whatever they needed all they had to do was turn and there was Anna ready to get them whatever they wanted. She was so sweetheart 💗.
The bartenders and staff gave us excellent service. They were pleasant and attentive to all my guests. The food was delicious. My family and friends are still calling me to say it truly was one of the best weddings they ever attended. And it was because of Guy DeMeo and his staff. Thank you for giving us “The Best Day Ever”.

People can't stop talking about my wedding!!

We had such a beautiful, fun, and memorable wedding day at the Davenport Mansion. Here are some of the highlights and why we recommend celebrating your special day here hands down.

The Venue - It's unique and unheard of to have an entire space just for you and your guests on your wedding day. The mansion was decorated for the holidays and it was like a dream. There were wreaths, garlands, and florals everywhere. There are real fire places too! It's so charming and cozy, but also spacious enough for everyone to feel comfortable. The library room is enchanting. The views from the bar and ballroom are incredible. The ballroom is breathtaking. When we first saw the ballroom we were in love with the floors. So beautiful! We had 12 tables and 125 guests and the layout was well done. There were no bad seats in the house. We could see everyone and easily move around to say hi. The bridal suite is the perfect place to get ready. The lighting is perfect for getting ready photos. And of course the staircase from the second floor to the first is also a great place for photos. The beach view is gorgeous and even for a December wedding it was a lovely addition for photos. Atmosphere 11/10

Food - Our cocktail hour was sick! We had multiple tasty cultural stations, including Asian and Italian, a craft beer pairing station, fresh mozzarella making station, and seafood. The entrees were delicious. There was something for everyone. Everyone could not stop raving about the food. Even as the bride and groom we made sure to try it all. Food was important to us and we were over the moon with everything. Super impressed and happy (and full). Food- Again 11/10

Staff and Service - Our day would not have been as wonderful if not for the staff. Special thanks to Guy and Carmine for keeping us and our families at ease. We had nothing to worry about. Guy is a pro and was always 5 steps ahead. Nobody had to wait for a drink at the bar and nobody was hungry. 11/10
We knew early on we made the right choice for our special day. It was a no-brainer to have our wedding here at the Davenport Mansion. This venue checks off all the boxes. We had a beautiful, fun, and delicious wedding. We will always remember this day so fondly. Thank you so much!

The Davenport Mansion

The Davenport Mansion is set right off Long Island sound. The Mansion is beautiful, and the view is amazing. But the true value of the Davenport Mansion is its manager, Guy DeMeo. Guy is "the Man". When you talk to Guy it does not feel like you are talking business. He makes you feel like you are talking to a longtime friend. He is very accommodating; he will work with you to make your wedding a success and stress free: wherever possible. The staff is amazing, the Matre'd is on point. From the biggest to the smallest detail, he's on it. The Bartender, the waiters are exceptional. They know their jobs and do them well. I could go on! But I'll conclude with I HIGHLY recommend The Davenport Mansion.

Best wedding planning decision: Choosing Davenport Mansion

There are no words to describe how grateful we are for Guy and the entire Davenport team, and everything they did to help us navigate planning a wedding during COVID and ensure a perfect, stress-free wedding day.

We knew going in that the venue and views of the Long Island Sound were beautiful. What we didn’t know was that Guy would become our wedding planning partner - the person keeping us sane during two years of planning and then replanning our wedding.

Guy's expertise in the industry is unmatched - he listened to our requests, enhanced our wedding vision, and brought it to life. He always made himself available for questions throughout our planning process (whether directly or tangentially related to the venue) and would provide us with options and recommendations, guiding us toward a smooth, stress free wedding weekend. It is clear that Guy’s top priority is his clients and their happiness - even in the midst of a pandemic.

And the food!!! Abundant and delicious.

Guy and the team executed every detail flawlessly, resulting in a day that we - and our guests - can’t stop raving about.

Great experience!

We had our wedding at Davenport Mansion on August 9, 2020 and it was a dream come true. It was everything that I wanted my wedding to be, it was perfect. Upon the arrival of our guests, they were amazed by the great scenery and the relaxing atmosphere.
A grand shout out to Guy!!!! Guy was super supportive, from the moment we booked our date to the final hour of our wedding.
I was a little nervous before the ceremony, but was immediately put at ease once I saw Guy, as I knew we were in great hands. He guided the event step-by-step and he never missed a beat. Guy was exceptional and overall a great presence, making sure things were going above our expectations. Shout out to Zitta, thanks for all your help. Also, a huge shout out to Patrick, our bridal attendant. Thanks for making the ladies feel at ease and comfortable.

The food was absolutely fantastic. Our guests are still raving about our cocktail hour and the reception saying how absolutely great the food was. I highly recommend this venue, guaranteed you will have a great time, great food and gorgeous views overlooking the water. Huge place for great social distancing. The ceremony was held outside on the terrace. The cocktail bar is adjacent to the terrace for cocktail hour. A HUGE ballroom to have your reception in, including a gorgeous presidential lounge.

Our family and friends thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful setting, delicious food and the great service from the Davenport Mansion team.

Thanks Guy, for granting all of our request, nothing was too big or too small, Guy granted them all. Thank you to the Devanport Mansion team for making our day so special💕

Excellent Experience...

Wow! Amazing venue! We had a small gathering of less than 50 people due to Covid guidelines. The owner, site manager, and staff were super accommodating and took the necessary precautions to keep the guests safe. We had access to the indoor and outdoor space for our small event and it was more than enough to social distance while also having a good time. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. They had multiple hand sanitizing stations set up. We provided custom-made masks and individual hand sanitizers to the guests which made the event more memorable. The tables were spaced apart more than 6 feet. The setting was beautiful for all the special family moments and candid shots taken. I was very pleased with how amazing the event was handled by the owner, Guy, the site manager, Zitta, and their amazing staff.

Historic venue with excellent food and service

The Davenport stood out with their fantastic service from our first visit. It's a beautiful historic venue with incredible views, but we also received such personalized attention from Guy, Al and the entire staff. They were particularly attentive to allergies and dietary restrictions - a very important factor for our guests - and we received many comments from guests about how they felt taken care of throughout the evening. The food was abundant and delicious! We loved the menu options, especially for cocktail hour and the ice cream bar was a bit hit. We would recommend The Davenport to anyone without hesitation!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
