Excellent!

I had my daughter’s wedding in this beautiful paradise, it was delightful!!
The view was spectacular, the whole place just had a magical feeling of being with nature. Our guests had so many wonderful comments and had the opportunity to enjoy the spacious indoor area and the terrace with the green surroundings that created a picture-perfect wedding venue. We all felt so welcome in this romantic, classy Douglaston Manor. It will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Huge thank you to Carlos, Claudia & Lisa for all your hard work behind the scenes and helpful suggestions. They were attentive to every detail. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious.
All the contributors were great fantastic.
Honestly, I would recommend this excellent venue for weddings and events from the bottom of my heart. It was an experience you would expect from Long Island/Up State NY but located in Queens...lovely memories.

The Perfect Choice

We recently had our wedding here, and everyone was such a delight to work with. Claudia put our minds at ease from the beginning, and was super responsive and answered all my questions whenever I had them. Josè and Lisa were our heroes on the actual day of the wedding. I had such obscure requests and Josè took the time and effort to make sure my vision came to life. I can never thank him enough for what he did. Lisa was extremely attentive, and made me and my husband feel like absolute royalty. I even had many friends and family comment on how great Lisa was and how they wish they had their own Lisa. Extremely knowledgeable and kind people to work with. We had rave reviews on the food that was served. Everything exceeded my expectations and if I had to do this all over again, I’d trust the Douglaston Manor and their team 100 times over. You will not be disappointed.

The Perfect Wedding Venue!

The Douglaston Manor was the most perfect venue for our 2023 wedding. The venue itself is exceptionally beautiful and the staff was friendly, helpful, and readily available to answer all of our questions. Kathy and Claudia worked with us over a two year period to make our vision a reality. They listened to and accommodated all of our requests. Our guests really enjoyed all of the unique cocktail stations, the patio overlooking the golf course, the city scenery in the background, the decor, and even the small details like water and lemonade during the ceremony. And we can’t stop raving about Carlos and Jose! They kept the day running smoothly. We can’t thank The Douglaston Manor enough and would recommend it again and again!

Douglaston Manor is truly a NYC gem for its location, staff and value

I wish I had the words to express how grateful I am to have found Douglaston Manor! As a bride who had to postpone her wedding day twice because of Covid-19, I have to say if there is anything that is the most special about Douglaston Manor it is their amazing staff. The team there truly treats each of their clients with care to ensure that they have the most magical day.

Douglaston Manor is a beautifully quaint Tuscan-esque manor tucked away in Queens. I honestly did not stumble upon the venue when I was first researching but I am so glad I continued to look. I loved that the offer a lot of great inclusive options while still allowing you to customize your day so that it matches the couple - this relieved a lot of stress for my husband and I as we found that several venues are a bit more strict on what they permit or allow. For example, we opted for a Caribbean style menu and the chef exceeded our expectations with the meal!

Most importantly, the staff was super patient, kind and caring on our big day and ultimately went above and beyond for us and our guests. We ended up getting married on a very HOT day in July but the team worked with us to navigate the heat and make sure our guests were well fed and satiated. LISA is literally the best bridal attendant on earth - I don't know what I would have done without this amazing woman.

Douglaston Manor is truly a secret gem in Queens - I am forever grateful that they helped us make our dreams a reality. Do not hesitate to check them out if you are looking to host your wedding in the

Best wedding venue ever

Absolutely beautiful venue for a wedding!! We held our wedding here in Sept 2022 and this venue - a 170-year-old Spanish-style mansion just outside of Queens - has the best combination of indoor and outdoor spaces to host your event. It has the most beautiful private garden with a water fountain for a ceremony of all the venues we looked at across multiple states. The venue also has an amazing patio overlooking a golf course and the NYC skyline that we used for cocktail hour, and delicious/plentiful food. Everyone at the manor - Claudia, Kathy, Carlos, Lisa - was incredibly nice and helped us set up and break down after the wedding. The staff was also accommodating to us bringing in our own desserts, which many venues we looked at did not allow. All of our guests raved about the venue's beauty and said the place was magical. Also, the location is phenomenal - half of our guests flew in for the wedding and the venue is a 15 min drive from both JFK and LaGuardia airports. 100/10 recommend this site for any special event you want to host.

The most beautiful venue

The Douglaston is such a beautiful venue and reasonably priced. Though our wedding was delayed a few times because of the pandemic, the Douglaston staff provided A+ support. From before we signed the contract to the day of our wedding, working with them was stress-free. They presented solutions for any concerns that may have come up throughout the wedding planning process, and they did everything they could to make our wedding day go smoothly and exactly how we wanted it. Carlos was our maitre-D and just so on it and had the best attitude. Lisa was my bridal attendant and she was amazing not just at taking care of me and my husband, but also looking after our parents, as well—making sure we were doing well, eating, drinking and looking our best at all times.

The food was amazing. So many guests came up to us to rave about the food from the cocktail hour, to dinner, to the Viennese table (it was not just 1 table by the way) which was a huge hit!

This venue and staff were absolutely perfect!

Amazing Reception!

We had our reception at Douglaston Manor and it was an incredible experience! On the day of our reception, the Manor was decorated for Christmas, which added to the overall beauty of the day. My guests all raved about how beautiful the Manor was. Lisa, the bridal attendant, was astounding; she was at me and my partner's side the whole time. During the planning process, I worked with Claudia and Cathy who were both always accommodating, flexible, and easy to get in touch with.

Working with the Manor overall was a wonderful experience! They did everything for us (cake, worked with vendors, food, drinks, etc). The value was also great, especially for the delicious food and beautiful space. x10/10, would recommend! I'll try to remember to post the professional photos too.

Douglaston Manor are professionals. They listen and provide you with ideas and thoughts. They are flexible and adjust themselves to fit your plans.

Douglaston manor catered our Wedding Sept 2021. They have been with us since the beginning of COVID19. We originally scheduled to marry October 2020 but they stood by our side even giving us the opportunity to pull back but they guided us and kept in communication with us. When it was time to pick a new date they were flexible. The court yard is beautiful. The outside entrance has a beautiful fountain for pictures. Parking is available. The manor is enchanted view reminiscing architectural from the past. Wood floors, chandeliers, beautiful staircases The staff was wonderful. As a bride I was given someone to stay by my side at all time. She was lovely and it made my day easier. My guest enjoyed the food….. delicious! Pricing is great! Hotel accommodations for guest are near.
