Ok I never did a review because this place isn't that popular yet but I think more people are getting interested in it so here it is:
De Seversky Center, Old Westbury:
This is an old converted mansion on the grounds of NYIT. They can accomodate around 130 people for a sit down dinner or up to 180 for 'mansion style' which is what I chose. It is a culinary institute so the food is very good. The house and grounds are breathtaking. I got the feeling that they were making policy as we went along because they were becoming more popular, which was annoying to me but shouldn't be a problem for anyone in the future as the policy will be set. I worked with Debbie, who was very nice and accomodating. A few minor things that could use improvement: the bartenders put out tip jars which was a big no-no; the bridal attendant did an ok job but could have been better; they served things I didn't order (although I'm almost positive that they did serve everything I did order).
Silver Fox Photography: Awesome. John, the owner, is a great guy and actually showed up on my wedding day. My photographers were Frank and Ted. I think this link still works:
I worked with Sharon. I think she did an amazing job and for a very reasonable price. She knew exactly what I wanted. Only issue was they didn't wrap the bouquets the way I asked for but I got over it.
Denise from Angel Eyes (Makeup):
Denise is a real professional and she does a great job. I'd use her again in a hearbeat.
Timepiece (Franklin Wayne)-Band
They ROCK. I loved them and I got a ton of compliments on them. You won't be disappointed.
I think that's it-- please FM with any questions.

what does mansion style mean?
it means there was no sit down dinner. we had different stations in different rooms of the mansion and butler passed items and there was seating throughout.
