About

The Vanderbilt Museum or "Eagle's Nest" is a stunning Spanish Revival Mansion in Centerport, NY. It is a one-of-a-kind, magical wedding venue located on Long Island's North Shore or "Gold Coast." It was the former summer home of William Vanderbilt II, who resided there from 1910 -1944. The panoramic views of Northport Harbor are second to none, providing endless photo opportunities.

The Vanderbilt Museum Courtyard boasts incredible and unique architecture and materials and abuts continuous, open decorative gardens. There are two reflection pools overlooking the landscape and Harbor. The 6000 square foot Celebration Tent sits upon what was once Mr. Vanderbilt’s golf course, offering magnificent views and remarkable backdrops. The Tent is an ideal location for wedding receptions and larger celebrations of up to 250 guests, while the historic courtyard can be used for cocktail parties, in conjunction with the tent or seated dinners for up to 125 guests. The Rose Garden overlooks Northport Bay and features a reflecting pool fountain, historical columns, and decorative Samuel Yellin iron gates and is an idyllic backdrop for photography.

The Vanderbilt Museum hosts only one event a week, to ensure best in class service, each Saturday from Mid-May to Mid-October.
