    October Gold Coast Wedding at the Vanderbilt Museum

    10.7.23 was the best day of our lives at our wedding at the Vanderbilt Museum. When my husband and I got engaged in June of 2021, we began our search for our wedding venue right away. We knew we wanted a “Gold Coast” vintage vibe, close to the water, and a historic mansion. We had toured many different venues but all were lacking in one or more of these areas, not to mention other venues were completely out of our price range. After a google search, we found the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium and quickly reached out to the event coordinator to set up a time to visit. From the moment we pulled into the parking lot...

    Fall 2024 Wedding

    We had our wedding at the Vanderbilt museum this past fall and it was nothing short of amazing. The venue is such a beautiful place in itself, but since it is so unique and not a typical catering hall, you definitely need a strong team to ensure a smooth event. Lisha, the event coordinator at the Vanderbilt, communicated with us every step of the way through the entire year of planning. She really went above and beyond what her job asks of her. When I felt overwhelmed with planning at a venue that requires all outside vendors (without a wedding planner), she constantly eased my anxiety, helped recommend vendors/ideas that made the planning process smoother for us. I believe...

    Most Amazing Venue on LI

    The Vanderbilt was the only venue we viewed, and once we did, we knew that was the only place we wanted to have our wedding. The grounds speak for themselves, they are truly show stopping. We had guests from all over the world and everyone thought they were in Europe. The staff, specifically Lisha and Debbie are incredibly kind, accommodating, warm, and knowledgeable. From the beginning, they were extremely communicative and professional, but also so friendly and a pleasure to work with. Throughout the whole process, I felt like I could honestly take a back seat, because I knew I was in the best hands. Lisha truly made our wedding day so seamless. It could not have been more perfect! You will not find another venue like the Vanderbilt on Long Island.

    Have your wedding here!

    My husband and I (plus our families and guests) don’t have anything but amazing things to say about the Vanderbilt. We had our wedding on 8/31/24 with our cocktail hour in the courtyard and our reception in the celebration tent, both absolutely gorgeous. Some of our guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to! It felt like you were transported to Europe!!!

    If you have toured this venue, you know it is not your typical cookie-cutter Long Island catering hall and requires you to bring basically everything in. We knew going into it that this was going to be a huge undertaking but absolutely doable. We decided to hire a planer that...

    Wonderful Experience!

    Lisha and the Vanderbilt team were nothing but wonderful to work with for our June 2024 wedding. Lisha, in particular, went above and beyond her role responsibilities leading up to and on the day of the wedding. She was incredibly responsive to all emails/calls, always had a positive attitude, and made the planning process a breeze.

    The venue itself is stunning. We had our ceremony on the lawn overlooking the water, cocktail hour in the Mansion's courtyard and reception in the Celebration Tent. The recently redone carpet in the tent really elevates the space and the Vanderbilt team were accommodating of our layout requests. We had an unseasonably hot day for our wedding, but all the guests...

    ✨The Most Incredible Place to be Married✨

    We realized immediately when we stepped onto the Vanderbilt property that we would have the wedding of our dreams there! And we did! Lisha was a huge reason why we also chose the Vanderbilt. She was an absolute pleasure to work. Lisha is so sweet, warm, genuine, helpful and so accommodating to requests. She truly shared in our happiness that day! The venue is absolutely breathtaking and transports you and your guests to a place of timeless elegance with regal backdrops and magnificent water views! We loved every minute and our guests were mesmerized at the grounds and the sweeping views of the water vistas. We only wish we could get married over and over again at the Vanderbilt!...

    Best day ever!

    When we were wedding venue shopping, we knew the Vanderbilt was the one right away. The venue speaks for itself with the beautiful architecture and well maintained landscaping. Lisha and Debbie were amazing from the start. They worked with our planner to make all of our dreams a reality. We had a large wedding of 200+ people and the Vanderbilt and their staff handled it with excellence. Seriously not a single thing went wrong. If i had to do it all over again i would choose the Vanderbilt over and over and over again. It was truly the best day of my life!

    Dream wedding!

    We had the best experience at the Vanderbilt. We fell in love with the beautiful buildings and grounds, as well as the ocean views. We were so thrilled to learn that the staff was great as well — Lisha at the Vanderbilt was a total professional throughout the entire process. She was extremely accommodating, and went above and beyond to make my vision a reality, even when the weather could not have been worse and we had to pivot our plans last minute because of storms. Despite the bad weather, everything turned out perfectly and was beautiful! Lisha continues to be a great resource for us as we plan visits to the venue a year after our wedding.

    Beyond my expectations!

    I had my wedding at The Vanderbilt museum on 8/26/2023 and it was the most incredible day! The site itself is stunning, so even on the worst day it still would be a gorgeous venue. I chose to do my wedding slightly different then most did at The Vanderbilt and Lisha was more than accommodating in helping to make it all come together! She is incredible and has great enegery and truly wants you to have the best day. She goes above and beyond to help make your day as perfect as you would want it and help your vision come to light! She was incredibly responsive to any questions I had throughout the whole process. Also the other...

    I booked the Vanderbilt with Carol back in January 2017. At the time all I knew was that we would be provided with tables and chairs for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Early 2018, I began speaking to Sarah who was a new hire. I am so grateful for her throughout this whole process. I had a billion questions and she helped me with all of them. She was very accommodating to my husband and I. The day of the wedding, of course the weather was not perfect. There was a steady mist all day, thankfully not pouring. At about 3 PM we had to make the decision of where to have the ceremony. We stayed with it outside and thankfully it worked out, though you could barely see the sailboats. We had the most perfect wedding.

    The Vanderbilt Museum is the most magical venue for a wedding. We had our cocktail hour in the courtyard of the Mansion house and the reception in the tent. It was beautiful. Carol is the best.

    It amazes me that no one has reviewed this venue yet. The Vanderbilt Mansion was an absolutely stunning venue. We didn't have to go anywhere else for pictures because there are enough photo ops at this one location. It rained on our wedding day but they have a wonderful tent that overlooks the sound as a great back up option. The one down side was that the day of was a little disorganized with where the bridal party was supposed to go for the ceremony. It's an issue that could have easily been fixed. Other than that, it really was a spectacular and unique venue. People had the opportunity to wander through one of the galleries during the cocktail hour and people really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend!

    Wedding Review- June 8th, 2024

    We recently had our wedding at the Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport, and it was an unforgettable experience! The venue is absolutely stunning—there’s nothing like it on Long Island. The grounds are breathtaking, with picturesque water views and historic charm that make it feel incredibly special.

    Because the museum is a historic site, there are certain limitations in place, and a few things we couldn’t do. However, the museum team went out of their way to accommodate our requests as much as possible. It’s important to be prepared for some flexibility, but the staff makes it manageable.

    Speaking of staff, I can’t say enough good things about Lisha and Debbie! They were fantastic to work with and are...

    Couldn’t even get a reply

    Wouldn’t answer any of my emails. Couldn’t even tour or get a quote for my wedding. Super disappointed in their lack of professionalism and communication.
