My husband and I had our wedding on March 3rd, 2018 and it was perfect, as promised. Since the first day we visited this venue and met with our main contact, Gary, we knew this would be the place we would have our wedding. Early on our research we discovered negative reviews that were based on previous ownership, but all those reviews did not become a factor in our decision once we met Gary and saw The Mansion. Gary was our point of contact throughout the entire process, he was very attentive to our needs, responded promptly to any questions via text, always available, and always assured us that everything would be perfect. As my husband and I did not get married before we went with his suggestions for all our vendors, who turned out to be great; we highly recommend the in-house vendors. Long story short, Gary played a huge part in our decision, but The Mansion is a special and beautiful place!!! It has a Gatsby feel to it that makes it even more glamorous. On the day of our wedding everything went better than expected. The venue was setup better than we anticipated, the entire staff was attentive; and believe us we had a lot of details we wanted throughout The Mansion. Our Maitre'D Luis, Bridal Attendant Erica, and staff went beyond what we expected. They made sure we didn't need anything and that we stuck to our timeline; they even made sure our parents were okay at all times. In conclusion, this was a very special day for us and we are glad we went with this venue but what makes it more amazing is the staff that runs it.

My husband and I just had our wedding on February 24th at the Mansion at Oyster Bay and we both feel so excited and happy that it was so outstanding. Leading up to the wedding we had seamless help and guidance from the director there, Gary. Not only was he a pleasure to work with, but he had such a great idea of what would work and how we could implement our vision that we felt completely at ease during the whole planning process. Gary is the best and you are in great hands with him. Every possible thing you could think that might have needed to be done, was done well in advance so I had no worries the day of. -The wedding itself went seamlessly and we had the best time. Our Bridal attendant Erica and Maître D’ Dmitri were both fantastic and anticipated our every need. Erica had the perfect touch and knew just what I needed before I even knew I needed it. She is also so sweet and was a pleasure to share my important day with. Erica and Dmitri organized the ceremony and reception perfectly. Dmitri was awesome and kept my husband well taken care of all day. -The Mansion at Oyster Bay is beautiful and I am so happy we chose it for our wedding. The food was amazing and it was the perfect space for dancing. There is also an outside area that we were lucky enough to make use of even though it was February. Any newly engaged couples should head there if you want a stress free wedding!

Having my wedding at the Mansion at Oyster Bay on 11/11/17 was one of the best decisions I had made. The planning ran so smoothly thanks to Matthew and the wedding day was amazing and went on without any issues thanks again to Matthew (he was my Maître D as well!) and Erica (my bridal attendant). From the beginning Matthew made this experience one of the best I could have asked for. He was very easy going and knowledgeable about everything! Any questions I ever had for him were quickly responded to and answered. There were renovations going on throughout the planning of my wedding and he was great at keeping us informed and also allowing us to stop by a few times to see what was going on. When it came to the food tasting I was so ecstatic. We had a nice table set up outside on the patio and all the food was amazing, making me look forward to my big day even more. The chef even made us an extra dish to try out which we quickly added to our cocktail hour as a station, so delicious! When my wedding day came, everything was set up everything exactly as we indicated, and the personal touches throughout the mansion were a beautiful surprise. Matthew and Erica were always there when I needed them. There was no searching for where they were, they almost knew right away when a drink was needed or a question was being asked! Erica set up an amazing display of our cocktail hour food in the bridal suite so that my husband and I were able to try everything and enjoy it before joining our cocktail hour. During the evening she was also a savior when my bustle broke and she pinned it all back for me on a few occasions! The Mansion at Oyster Bay was truly amazing. My guests are still raving about the food, atmosphere, and service 2 months later. I would suggest any bride looking for a mansion wedding to choose The Mansion at Oyster Bay. It was the wedding of my dreams thanks to these amazing people!

Our wedding was in December 2016 - you can ignore the other reviews on this site because the new management of the Woodlands is phenomenal. More than one month later, guests are still talking about the amazing food, terrific staff, and beautiful atmosphere of The Woodlands. While we did work with multiple staff members during the management transition, the final team that handled our wedding was professional, attentive to detail, and coordinated the logistics of our evening reception beautifully. Everything was set up everything exactly as I indicated, and the personal touches throughout the mansion were so striking. They let us bring in so much of our own stuff, including homemade cookies and pastries for dessert, and were very flexible in adapting the menu and alcohol selection to fit our preferences. The venue has incredible original details and we loved having free range over the mansion to enjoy the fireplaces, outdoor patio (heat lamps included during the winter!), and different rooms. People are still calling me to talk about the food, which was absolutely delicious (the duck was a huge hit). Don’t be alarmed by negative reviews from prior years –our wedding at The Woodlands was perfect.

Beautiful inside and out,every waitress and bartender where beyond nice. The food from the insane amount of appetizers to the main coarse was perfect. I can't wait to go back.
