Re: westbury manor vs swan club
I have never been to the Swan CLub but heard their rooms are small and not attractive. I booked with WM, the food, the decor, the seclusion, the gardens, the staff, the rooms, the package I got, etc etc 100% amazing!!!!!!!

Re: westbury manor vs swan club
They are both beautiful & good in their own different ways.
Here are the differences that I found:
Swan Club: Really beautiful exterior with water backdrops, bridges, flowers, etc: used for lots of pics Get married in covered, but outside area Further from heavy traffic roads (quieter) Smaller, brighter rooms NOT as nice of an entrance as Westbury My friend attended a wedding here and can vouch for good food.
Westbury: Nice external backdrop Can get married outside Closer to highways Larger, darker rooms Nice entrance, well decorated with valet Does lots of floral decorations by themselves (think of $$ saved) I ate here: so can vouch for good food.
Pls go visit both before you. It's a style dfference & style is personal.

If you are having a smaller wedding I am not a fan of the smaller rooms, but the large room (the Camelot Room) with capacity for 220 is gorgous. Open windows overlooking the beautiful gardens. The Camelot room is also set up really well and is really pretty. Take it from someone who has been there. I like how the Swan Club is in historic Roslyn in a really cute town not off of Jericho turnpike. The prices are more reasonable at Swan Club as well.
I really appreciate everyone's input to this question. I did book the westbury manor and I am quite excited about it. I preferred the warm ambience, more estate/homey feel, excellent attention by the banquet manager and excellent food ( I got to taste by having dinner in the restaurant). I wouldn't be able to taste the Swan since I couldn't make their designated hours for tasting during the week. The Swan had more of a banquet hall feel. The one drawback for me is that I have to have my ceremony at WM 11 AM (earlier than their usual start). I hope I can do all the pictures and getting ready before the ceremony time. Thanks again for all of your help.

Re: westbury manor vs swan club
do you want an outdoor ceremony? if so i think that swan club does it but westbury doesnt so check it out.

Re: westbury manor vs swan club
westbury manor does do outdoor ceremonies...I think it's in the area outside of the big Manor room
