Sooo I am newly engaged and I am dreaming for a Mansion wedding I dont mind getting married in Dec/Jan to help in pricing but I am not from Long Island and have never been to any of these venues so I need suggestions pleaseee...I have already eliminated some based on price and size.
-NYIT de Seversky Mansion (Only holds 150 and they have this interesting wedding style called European style Dinner in one room and Dancing in another not really for me)
-Hempstead House (BEAUTIFUL BUT an $11,000 site fee with nothing inculded except the use of the grounds too expensive for me ('');
-Oheka Castle(Beautiful outside but the ballroom to me is so average I feel takes away from the feeling that you are in a castle and the site fee is also outrageous)
-Vanderbilt Mansion at Centerport is my fav fav fav but they dont do weddings past Oct 31
-Vanderbilt Mansion at Dowling (No more weddings again sad)
Now I am left with these I just saw the Bourne Mansion yesterday and I am just IN LOVE with the ballroom mainly because it was part of the mansion not added construction like some of the other mansions.
The only thing is I felt I was quoted a bit high for a off season month. $125 + + and a $2000 site fee that brings me to $160 on a Sunday in Dec???? Anyone book bourne around these months?? Is that too high?
My next favorite is Glen cove mansion she gave me an AWESOME price and I love that you can use the entire facilty all day unlike Bourne only 2 hours in advance and I love the Pub but I feel like the ballroom is an odd shape? and the carpet is SO GREEN! Any glen cove mansion brides? What do you think?
The Mansion at Woodside acres I havent seen yet but I feel like I might like it anyone know their pricing or how their weddings are?
so happily married

Re: LI Mansion Weddings!!
The de seversky mansion was a horror !!! stay away and get a venue that actually cares for their clients!! We paid so much money to get married there and they ruined so much I cry all the time !! pics look nice but the horror they put me through and over booked my wedding and I had to hear how hhorrible the service was from all my guests !!!

I really wanted to check out Douglaston Manor in Great Neck (I think) but I never got to it so I can't tell you how it is but it looks beautiful online
That was the runner up in our venue search. It's actually in Douglaston, within the NYC limits. It is beautiful, with the spanish style manor look to it. But we fell in love with The Metropolitan.
if you do check it out, ask for Tom!

the NYIT mansion was almost 200 per plate after tax and service and charged a couple thousand for a site fee, but i don't know about the other places.. the woodlands is beautiful though, and no site fee!
