The Mansion at Woodside Reviews

*STOP SCROLLING* and look no further. This is the place you want to have your wedding. It's thanks to the incredible team at Woodside, mainly Tom Manetta and Sarah Mottola, that my husband and I were able to have our fairy tale celebration. We changed and postponed our reception nearly 4 times throughout COVID, and yet it turned out perfectly. We were originally supposed to be married on 3/21/2020, so right at the very beginning of the pandemic, but my husband is from England and all his friends and family are still there, so needless to say our celebration plans were very tricky. After many iterations, we finally settled on July 31, 2021, as our final date.

Sarah, the maître d' at Woodside and our contact throughout the process, was incredible. She was kind, patient, friendly, and unbelievably organized, even with all the revisions and changes throughout the process. The food was outstanding, the venue (indoors and outdoors) was immaculately kept, the bridal suite is stunning, and the grounds were unbelievable. They even accommodated a recorded video "speech" from the groomsmen and a Cinderella carriage that came to the grounds for photos. Every friend and family member is raving and keeps saying we should publicly publish the photos. We only have positive things to say about our experience and that's all we keep hearing from our guests as well, nothing but outstanding reviews and remarks.

It was complete chance that we happened upon the venue and I thank god that we did. Right from the start we were taken care of and felt incredibly special. The ballroom is unlike any other, with a stunning center chandelier and fabric ceiling. There is a spiral staircase leading up to the bridal suite, plenty of space for hair and makeup, and folks, that's just the tip of the iceberg, I could go on and on about all the details that came to life thanks to the team at Woodside, all their hard work, and all their advice, suggestions, and recommendations. They're pros, they know exactly what they're doing. We were even able to Facetime in his parents for the ceremony and have Pimms (an English drink) as one of our signature drinks. Also, the bartender is so full of life and love, we loved her too. Together they all made our vision of the day a reality.

The last thing I want to make sure to mention is, I'm not an easy customer to please. I have an eye for perfection and an idyllic imagination, as well as a strong willed (and opinionated) family, but this team deserves all the praise. It was a day beyond my wildest dreams and everything was perfect down to the after party by the magnificent wooden square bar. Oh, and how could I forget to mention the BANG you get for your buck, truy unreal. The least we can do is give them the recognition they so deserve. We LOVED it there and we love the people there too. I'm so happy we chose them. So PLEASE , do yourself a favor and book your wedding at Woodside. You'll feel like royalty, I know we certainly did.

My fiancé and I could not be more excited to get married at the Mansion at Woodside in June of 2021! They were the first venue we viewed and every other venue we looked at didn't compare. The grounds are beautiful and the actual club space and ballroom are stunning. Most importantly, the staff was incredible. Sarah, Tom, and Maureen have all gone above and beyond to help us make our big day possible at the Mansion at Woodside. The team there is an absolute pleasure to work with and know the wedding business down to the last detail. We are extremely excited for our wedding and know we picked the right venue.

My fiancé and i had a walk through with Sarah this past weekend! From start to finish we were impressed with the grounds, mansion and the vision Sarah painted for us of our big day! The staff seemed to be friendly and welcoming as we walked through the space! So many great photo opportunities through out and we left with such positive vibes it made our choice easy! Looking forward to starting our next chapter at the Mansion at Woodside!!

There was not a single thing that I would have changed about my wedding at the Mansion at Woodside Acres. The entire staff and team had such an attention to detail, from every server and bartender to my wedding coordinators and the owners. They treated me like it was their own daughter getting married. You could tell they wanted every single little detail absolutely perfect; and they succeeded! The food was to die for, and there was so much of it! The venue itself was so beautiful, my guests were coming up to me in shock and awe. Everytime i think about my wedding, one thing comes to mind. PERFECT. That is thanks to the team at Woodside Acres!

Many of you may know the drama that has transpired over the last year with Lessings and the Mansion at Woodside Acres. When we saw the venue we knew immediately that the Mansion is where we wanted to get married. Lessings was the caterer and they were very accomodating at the first meeting, so we booked that day. After a few months, the relationship between the Mansion and Lessings fell apart (due to Lessings' failure to get a written contract with the Mansion owners). We were devastated to learn that the Mansion had taken away rooms we were promised and changed things aroung. Ultimately, Lessings had to provide us with a tent for the cocktail hour which was a huge change in the plans.

After all was said and done, the Mansion really was beautiful on the day of the wedding. The tent turned out to be a huge success and the grounds of the Mansion were amazing. Lessings is no longer working with the Mansion so it will be interesting to see what develops, but if the Mansion is able to secure a professional caterer, I would highly recommend the Mansion as an elegant and beautiful venue.
