De Seversky

Hi All,
I am trying to gather as much info on this place as possible. Have any of you been there/ played there and preferably eaten there. I have never eaten there and for $140 pp sit down dinner I am worried there will not be enough food. Any thoughts???

I just know that it is a beautiful place to have pictures taken. I'm not sure of the food...


I found this info for you online:

Past the pond, the sweeping approach to the mansion offers a view of its splendid curved and columned loggia that opens off the ballroom. Along the west, north and east sides, the mansion is lined with luxurious verandas and distinguished marble urns. Two towering limestone pillars mark the formal entrance and lead quickly to the oval entry driveway pivoted on a grand center urn and framed on its perimeter by Linden trees.
The marble entry hall with its grand staircase is one of the mansion’s most arresting features. The stairs lead to 13 upstairs bedrooms and parlors designed in classic European country style and originally decorated by Charles of London. Off the main hallway are oak-paneled rooms with refined fireplaces. (The Entrance Hall, Reception Room and the exterior portion of the Ballroom appear in the film “Arthur” starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli.)
At the north end of the entry foyer is the Library. Its left wall of bookshelves conceals a hidden door that opens into a large hallway leading into the West Wing. The Terrace Room, Bar-Lounge and Dining Room are located there. The Dining Room, which was formerly part of the Guest’s original kitchen, is complemented by an attached atrium called the Garden Room. The dining facilities are open to the NYIT faculty and staff as well as the public for lunch daily and dinner several nights a month.

Actually, my mother got married there two years ago. The food was amazing, and there was more than enough. The whole affair was well orchestrated. Are you planning on adding the stations for coctail hour. THey were also unbelievable.

If you have any other questions, please forum mail me.

I also work with a wedding band, and worked there about 3 weeks ago--the cocktail hour food was very good, but we did not have dinner. The place is very unique, private and elegant.

Good luck in making your choice.

What a beautiful location with the wood walls and marble staircase! I married a couple there last month and one thing that I thought was a very nice touch was that they had food and drinks available before the ceremony. They were more than pleased with everything and the quality on their day. Wishing you the same on your day with many healthy happy years to follow.
