I got married at the VM on 6.24. It was amazing! The staff there was absolutely terrific -- you could not ask for more. I got so many compliments on the food and service from all my guests! You all will be very happy!

vanderbilt is actually changing caterer's in oct to lessing's. so unfortunately i wasn't able to work with maryann and lovin oven. but lessing's has been very good so far. just nervous b/c all the reviews on vm have been on lovin oven catering and not lessings.

Re: Official Vanderbilt Mansion,Oakdale Thread

I've heard great thigns about Lessings too.

The space is just phenomenal and unique in my opinion. It was 'it' for us! People loved the space and thought it really unique. We didn't get our courtyard ceremony bc of rain, but the conservatory was beautiful too and I don't think people even knew it wasn't our first choice for ceremony location!!!!!!! It's just great.!

Do you have a florist? If not - I highly recommend Keyth Atiles from Lovin Oven Floral Design. He's AWESOME and really knows the space. He did a fabulous job for us!
