Mansion at oyster bay is the best venue everrrrrr!

The Mansion at Oyster Bay is truly exceptional! Everyone was BLOWN away by our venue — from the incredible staff, to the food, to the sheer beauty and elegance of our November wedding.
It was the only venue my husband and I toured because we knew it was “the one” from the moment we spoke to Jennifer. She made the entire planning process so easy, reassuring us at every step.
The staff is absolutely unbelievable. Mike, our maître d’, went above and beyond to make our night flawless, treating us with a level of service that still has our family talking. The attention to detail from the entire team was unmatched — every request was handled instantly and with a smile. Our guests also couldn’t stop raving about the food.
The venue itself is breathtaking, with the perfect mix of elegance, warmth, and timeless charm. Every corner of the mansion looked magical, especially in the fall. We felt so cared for and celebrated throughout the entire day, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment.
If you want a wedding that feels effortless, beautiful, and unforgettable, this is the place. Best venue ever!

Timeless Venue + Excellent Team = One Incredible Wedding Day

Our reception at The Mansion at Oyster Bay in January of 2026 was everything we hoped it would be and more. My husband and I have attended over 25 weddings together all over the country, so we knew what mattered to us the most when planning our wedding. We wanted a timeless and elegant space that would comfortably accommodate 200+ guests while leaving enough room for a ten-piece band and a buzzing dance floor. We also wanted to work with vendors who would make the day easy for us and our families so that we could enjoy every special moment. The team at MOB delivered on this and more. Jennifer was supportive and helpful in the touring, booking, and planning process, but Mike blew us away on the day of the wedding. He was everywhere all at once, accommodating our last minute timeline adjustments, tending to the bridal party, and even shoveling a path for us in the snow (in his tux!) so we could get some photos outside at dusk. He made sure every personal item was placed exactly where we requested, and transformed our cocktail hour space into an after-party disco just as we envisioned. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and beverage service and the character of each space we were able to use; the speakeasy bar, in particular, was a huge hit for photo ops and overall moody cocktail hour vibes. The venue looked truly spectacular with the warm glow from the fireplaces and candles in every room. We absolutely loved the Mansion for our winter wedding and wish we could relive the night over and over again!

Perfect Day!

My wedding was this past January and it was the most perfect day. The staff at the mansion were so great and professional. The service was phenomenal!! The venue is very fairly priced and Jennifer is very helpful with the options and what works best. Mike is the best addition you can have to your wedding day, the day moves so effortlessly thanks to him. We left something at the venue that night and he personally drove the item to our hotel!! I couldn't of picked a better team and venue

The Mansion at Oyster Bay

We had our reception at The Mansion at Oyster Bay on January 17, 2026, and it truly felt like something out of a fairytale. It was snowing that day, and the entire property — the trees, the grounds, every view from every window — was covered in a blanket of white. It created the most magical backdrop for our day.
The venue itself is breathtaking. The architecture, the charm, the timeless elegance — every corner feels like a perfect backdrop. And the speakeasy bar was by far my favorite room. Its unique vibe made for unforgettable moments and some of our favorite photos.
The staff deserves endless praise. Jennifer, the sales manager, was phenomenal from start to finish. She guided us through every step of the planning process — from choosing food and setting up our tasting to selecting table linens and understanding all the options available to us. We visited the Mansion multiple times with different family members, and no matter how many trips we made, Jennifer was always there to greet us with a smile and walk us through the space again. Her patience, warmth, and genuine care made the entire experience feel effortless. The Mansion also provides so many helpful extras, like a card box and candles, which made planning even easier.
Mike, the Maître D’, was exceptional. He went above and beyond in every possible way — he even drove out to the beer distributor to get Surf Sides for the bridal party. Throughout the entire day, he made sure we always had a drink in hand and never needed to ask for anything. He also kept the entire reception running smoothly by letting us know exactly where we needed to be and what was happening next. His organization and attentiveness made the day feel seamless.
My bridal attendant, Amber, was truly amazing. She was so easy to work with, incredibly attentive, and by my side every step of the way. She anticipated everything I needed before I even asked and made the entire day feel calm and stress‑free. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the food — from cocktail hour to dinner, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was flawless, and the entire day flowed without a single hiccup.
The Mansion at Oyster Bay gave us a wedding day beyond anything we could have imagined. Between the stunning snowy scenery, the incredible staff, and the unforgettable atmosphere, it was pure perfection. I would recommend this venue wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a place that delivers beauty, warmth, and exceptional service

Best day of our lives.

The Mansion at Oyster Bay was the perfect venue for my wife and I. Our guests can’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious all the food was (and I am a fairly harsh food critic myself, and agree it was exceptional). They accommodated a lot of our idiosyncratic requests for decor and process, and the ambiance was through the roof. The staff ensured there were no issues arising on our wedding day, everything went smoothly and flawlessly and my wife and I were able to just party and celebrate the most incredible day of our lives. We felt supported and guided through all of the planning and execution. The value is unmatched amongst peer venues we considered. We cannot give effusive praise high enough. 10/10 my wife and I recommend this venue to all prospective couples, and indeed one of my groomsmen’s brother in law is now planning to get married here next year.

Having the wedding here was the BEST decision!

My daughter got married at the Mansion on 7/27/25. She and I are out of state (Virginia and Texas) so we planned the wedding long distance and did not have a wedding planner. I can't say enough good things about this venue! They were flawless from the moment we signed the contract until the end of the festivities. Jennifer was very professional and answered all of our questions timely. We never felt rushed and she knew what to ask even if we didn't. Communication was A+. They coordinated with our vendors (Batter Up - cake; The Hudson Project- band; Barittini - strings for ceremony, piano for cocktail hour, and DJ for afterparty; Flowers by Burton; JoVon Photography and Videography; Platinum Events (mirrored seating chart); and Long Island Flower Wall for arch and Reverend Dan) and everything ran so smoothly. Huge shout out to Carl (Carmelo) the Maître D and Shannon the bridal attendant. We dropped off all decor a few days before and they set up perfectly. When there was a problem with our flowers, Carl called and had the florist come back to fix it. He maintained the tempo of the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception (speeches, dances, props, cake cutting) and afterparty; everything was seamless. We interspersed dancing with dinner and all flowed so well. Shannon stayed by Kate's side, bustled her dress, helped her change into a second dress, attended to her every need all night and gathered items from the bridal suite. They were true professionals and packed everything neatly for the day after pick up. I could enjoy the evening without worrying about anything (timeline, bridal party, Kate's needs). It rained the day of the wedding and Carl allowed us time to make the call whether to move inside and handled the transition beautifully. All guests were impressed with the food and service. We had filet, chicken marsala and macadamia crusted cod for dinner and the grazing table, passed apps, Mulberry Street and Mediterranean stations for cocktail hour and bar foods for afterparty. I was amazed at how delicious the food was....its hard to feed so many people but everything they served was hot and cooked to guest's specifications. The bar was perfect, top shelf liquor and never a line! It had a lot to do with the level of service. Valet was great and when guests arrived they were given a pre-ceremony drink and directed to the guest book and ceremony site. When they left the ceremony for cocktail hour servers were ready with trays of signature drinks so there was not a line at the bar. Apps were passed on trays, lots of seating and beautiful stations. At dinner servers were excellent, they took orders, brought food, got drinks from the bar, poured red and white wine, cleared places, folded napkins if you got up and served cake. So many guests raved that this was the best wedding they ever attended. The venue itself is gorgeous but the service and food were exceptional. The after party on the roof (DJ, cigars) was scheduled to end at midnight but went much later. The overall experience far exceeded the price we paid. Kate and Michael said it was the best day of their lives. I am so thankful to all our friends at the Mansion and cannot recommend them enough. 10000000/10 stars!

3.7.25 best day of our lives!

My husband and I met in a wedding band so we have been to more than 400 weddings, almost all of which were extremely high end, so we knew exactly what we wanted and had very high expectations (on much less of a budget than the weddings we play, We had a March wedding which helped)! We are so thrilled to have chosen this venue for our wedding because they knocked it out of the park! My family is not from the NY area and they were blown away by the building, the amount and quality of food, the service, etc. My husband’s family IS from the NY area so they expected great things, and the MOB delivered. Emily was so amazing through the entire process, answering my incessant emails and questions quickly and kindly. Mike we got into contact with the week of the wedding and everything ran smoothly. They were patient while we figured out how to make my husband’s vision of a large king’s table for us and our large bridal party happen, and facilitated all of the coordinating. I still had my own month of coordinator, but they take care of so much there, she was able to focus on more minute details because they had everything handled. We did not use any of their recommended vendors. We had a friday wedding to ensure we were the only ones getting married there that day. Bridal and groom’s suite were excellent. Timeline followed to a tee. Could not be happier! And a little hint to future couples: don’t listen to people who say Lessings is bad because they do so many weddings; they are so good at weddings because they do them all the time. Take it from someone who has seen it all, you DO NOT want to go to a place that doesn’t really do weddings. And lastly, so many of the most expensive places we have played are very similar to the mid-tier places we play. Don’t worry if your wedding isn’t at the Pierre, it is upsettingly similar to have it elsewhere.

The Mansion at Oyster Bay made our wedding amazing!

The Mansion at Oyster Bay was the perfect venue for our wedding. Right after we contacted the venue, Jennifer Sammarco responded and set up a tour for us immediately. From the moment we pulled up to the beautiful grounds and mansion, we fell in love with the venue. Jennifer did a great job of helping us envision our wedding day, and thoroughly explained all of their package deals to help us stay within our budget. Throughout the entire process, Jennifer was so helpful and answered every single question that we had (and we had a lot!). She was always available, right up to the day of the wedding. We were able to meet some vendors during the seasonal showcases that the venue has, and we were able to taste the food and drink at a tasting closer to the date of the wedding.

Leading up to the wedding, Mike Langis, the maître-d' reached out and coordinated a drop off meeting with us to drop off all of our decorations and day of items for the wedding. Mike was so incredibly kind and accommodating and made us feel at ease that he would be on the ball the day of. He absolutely was, as well as the rest of the staff at the venue. Mike helped put out all of our decorations in the morning, helped rearrange items from the ceremony to the reception, and was even able to quickly and quietly remedy a situation where we forgot a few boxes of favors, without interrupting any of the festivities of the day. He ran the entire rehearsal with the wedding party for the ceremony that we opted to have on site, and connected our playlists to the venue speakers for cocktail hour and after party. Any requests that we had for coordination of the entire day was fantastically handled by Mike!

We also paid to have use of the bridal suite for the entire morning, and Natalie was our bridal attendant. She was excellent, steaming my entire wedding gown, bringing drinks and food to us in the bridal suite, and helped carry my dress, drinks and food during photos. We were told that we had the A-Team between Mike and Natalie, and that couldn't have been more true!

So many of our guests told us how exceptional the staff was for food and bar service as well. Everyone was so impressed by the beauty of the venue, the quality of the food and drinks, and the professionalism of the staff. We were so fortunate to have found the Mansion at Oyster Bay, because it honestly had everything that we were looking for on our wedding day. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with exceptional staff, has flexible options and packages to help you stay within budget, and is experienced in hosting weddings, this is definitely the place for you!

I am so thankful to have chosen The Woodlands as the place for my husband and I to join our families. Elegance, class, wonderful food, atmosphere, and the most incredible staff... what more can I say. We used The Drawing Room for the ceremony. The dark wood, dimmed lighting and fireplace made the most romantic setting. Since getting married almost 1 year ago this month, I am so happy to know that I will be coming back here again in January. The Woodlands will be hosting our daughter's Sweet 16 and we are doing a Masquerade Ball as the theme... so fitting for a beautiful mansion. And to make things even better.. I have made such wonderful friends and I am also so thrilled to have become a vendor here at The Woodlands as their Makeup Artist. What a wonderful journey this has been. I hope you too add this beautiful place and "family" to your lives!
