“The Leonard's Palazzo has everything, especially good food and good drinks, but the very best is the doorman, Mario. He's a gentleman, the man impressed me last night, March the 9th. He took care of me until I boarded my Uber. Thank you Mario.”

“My husband and I could not be happier with the hospitality, warmth, care, professionalism, and attention to detail that the team at Stewart Manor Country Club provided for our wedding.John, Lisa, and James (and Dani!) are absolutely amazing at what they do. Not only do they have the ability to execute any ideas that you may have, they have a wealth of knowledge (and seemingly endless warehouse of decorations) that they are more than happy to share to make your wedding day absolutely perfect.Leading up to our wedding, we gave James our general design plan and supplied decorations that we thought fit the theme (winter library), but otherwise gave little specific guidance on how to set up ceremony space or the various spaces within the venue (since we had neither the energy nor artistic eye to plan out those details). What James was able to put together for us was absolutely stunning and better than anything we could have imagined. In fact, we have had multiple guests describe the ambiance James was able to create for us as “stunning” and “magical.”On the day of our wedding, my husband and I wanted for nothing. Indeed, without ever having to ask for anything, the team at SMCC anticipated our every need. James, in particular, had everything we never knew we needed within arms reach (including, among other things, fashion tape, a scrunchy, and bobby pins, all of which James kept stored in his fashion-forward utility vest), and did everything he possibly could (including holding the train of my dress outside in the rain while we were outside smoking) to ensure my husband and I were as comfortable as possible. We’ve heard from many guests that their experience with SMCC’s team was no less amazing.Our guests all raved about the food, particularly the filet mignon and chicken francaise, and marveled at the table service for bar drinks (which seems all but unheard of these days). My husband happened to be partial to the spinach ravioli alfredo served with dinner, and I loved the mac & cheese included in the BBQ station and the buffalo chicken pizza included in the pizza station.When my husband and I were choosing between wedding venues, many venues we looked at seemed to be nothing more than wedding factories. Almost every venue we visited or contacted focused their sales pitch on one thing: what services they could sell us from their catalogue of cookie-cutter wedding options. SMCC was different. In fact, after a long day of visiting venues, we realized that Lisa of SMCC was the only person we had met at any venue who bothered to ask my husband and I about our relationship and our interests—e.g., how we met, how my husband had proposed, what we did for a living, what we did for fun, and what we were looking for in a wedding venue. It was this human touch that made SMCC stand out among the sea of venue options. And it is this human touch that I believe makes the team at SMCC excel at what they do. Simply put, the SMCC team cares, which makes all the difference.We highly recommend anyone looking for an intimate, personalized wedding with a human touch to check out SMCC! We guarantee you will not be disappointed.”

The team was willing to help in all areas and were extremely dedicated to ensuring our special day was exactly what we desired. We were blessed, and would recommend this venue to anyone who asks.”

The staff at Marina Del Rey is exceptionally friendly, contributing to an overall wonderful experience. I thoroughly enjoyed capturing moments in this stunning location, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a spacious and picturesque setting for their events.”

“Little gem of a restaurant. Wonderful service and cocktails. Everyone's food was superb except one person's as the steak special was expensive and the meat was tough. Nice charcuterie board for an appetizer. Great, attentive waiter.”

“My husband and I recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor, and it was nothing short of a fairytale come true. Every aspect of our special day, from the fantastic food to the impeccable service, was beyond exceptional.The moment we stepped onto the grounds of Sea Cliff Manor, we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our love. The venue's stunning architecture, manicured grounds, and breathtaking views of the water created a romantic and magical atmosphere that left our guests in awe.What truly set Sea Cliff Manor apart was the exceptional service we received. Ian, the maître d', and Camille, our bridal attendant, were the stars of the evening. They were not just there to facilitate our day; they anticipated our needs, ensuring everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes. From coordinating with vendors to helping the bridal party and guests, Ian and Camille were professional, attentive, and incredibly kind. Their dedication and expertise made us feel like royalty.Our decision to choose Sea Cliff Manor as our wedding venue was undoubtedly one of the best choices we made for our special day and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Sea Cliff Manor to any couple looking for a picturesque, elegant, and meticulously managed wedding venue. Thank you to the entire team at Sea Cliff Manor for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience, and a heartfelt thank you to Ian and Camille for being the dream team that ensured our day went off without a hitch. Our wedding was a fairytale, and it was all thanks to you!”

“D'JOYS ...is a beautiful boutique Event Hall, but what makes the experience even better...is the wonderful customer service that we received from the owners from start to finish! We had a 70th Birthday celebration for my boyfriends sister and everything was fabulous. Having an event soon? Please use this event hall.....for a wonderful experience!”

“By far one of the most seamless event planning experiences with Space 224 and the wonderful owner Abraham. My mother found the location via google which was rated at 5 stars. From the first call to the actual event I couldn't be more pleased. I chose space 224 to host my father's memorial dinner. Abraham wanted to ensure the pressure was off my family for the planning. We used their caterer and decorative team and must I say the food was amazing and the decorations were perfect. Abraham even helped out and served the drinks and said a few words. I honestly I could go on and on but most importantly want to express I would book anytime for any event. Thank you Abraham and the space 224 crew for making my father's memorial dinner a memory to last a lifetime”

“Place is new. We checked it out. Clean place. Excited to have a new gelato place in the neighborhood. I had the Ferraro rocher and it was delicious. My husband had the coffee and lemon flavor and we both ate it all. I'll definitely go again.”

“This event space is perfect is every way, Very clean and friendly staff, the bartender provided was great, making some pretty cool cocktails and pretty fast with the drinks/shots.Ms. D who was overseeing the event, is such a kind and respectful person, she made sure everything went well for us through out the evening.The owner who is extremely knowledgeable kind and respectful as well accommodated us and went over every detail possible and even did a custom slide show on the venues projector system.Our event went so well, that nobody wanted to leave because they were having so much fun so i had to extend the closing time lol.If your looking for a hall with great features such as friendly staff, ambience, nice music system, good overall size, cleanliness, good parking, and the best bang for your buck, Regency Party Hall is the place for you. Wish I can give them more than 5 stars.”

“I had my baby shower here last weekend and i must say it was amazing! The owner Yoshi was super sweet and accomodating and the bartender was very nice and funny. My guests loved the venue, the dj booth set up was excellent, and the venue was super clean. I would highly recommend for a intimate group of 50-70 people. Thank you so much again!”

“We hosted my daughter’s 4th birthday party here. It was a stress-free process, and the team made it easy. All I had to bring was pizza, cake and goodie bags; they took care of the rest. We appreciated that the venue was exclusive to our party, so it felt safe. My daughter and her friends had a blast.”

“Have been there several times (for a celebration of life, several big family birthdays).The food is very good. The hospitality is excellent. Price is fair for a large gathering. They are very willing to accommodate special requests at the events you have there.”

“I was at Vienna of Roslyn on Friday, January 26th for a Sweet 16. I had a wonderful experience and as I looked around, so did everyone else. The staff were so accommodating and professional. Everyone seemed to pitch in where it was needed to make the guests feel special and attended to. Huge shout out to the DJ's. They played music for every age group and everyone was on their feet. 10/10 for service and fun!”

“Best climbing gym in New York! Very friendly staff, I worked with an instructor called Kemmy Ortago. They were very knowledgeable, my seven nieces and nephews had a wonderful time. Kyle Folks Douglos was also very helpful at the desk and he did a human flag.”

“From my bride: Book this venue NOW. The Royalton Mansion is a hidden gem that is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing, and the staff is so kind. We were blown away by EVERYTHING. Mike and Arturo have been amazing since the first day we stepped in the front door to tour the Royalton. They truly make you feel like family. Communication has been very clear and they made us feel right at home. From that first conversation, everything was about us. We were able to make the Royalton our dream wedding and they never said no to any idea or ask.All of our guests have said this is the best wedding they have ever been to. We have received tons of compliments on how beautiful the venue is, the variation and amount of food at cocktail hour, and how every single dinner came out hot and in a timely fashion. All of the staff was professional and cared so much. Arturo was amazing and even gave the groom his own collar stays when we realized he forgot them. Michelle (the bridal attendant) was phenomenal. She kept all 13 bridesmaids organized and fulfilled every need / ask while taking phenomenal care of the bride. She was always around taking care of everyone and was on her feet from 7 am - 11:30 pm. We couldn’t be more thankful for this incredible team. Our wedding night was everything we have dreamed of and more thanks to The Royalton.”

“I had my daughter's sweet sixteen birthday party at ELEGANT Loft . The Hall and the decorations were spectacular. The staff is amazing!! Toya and Ricky were awesome. ELEGANT loft is the place to have ALL your events. Everything was on point. Working with them was a delight. Toya was patient, positive, and helpful. Toya and Ricky, thank you for making my daughter's Sweet Sixteen dreams come true.”

“I went with my 2.5yr old on a Friday morning,which was great, not crowded at all. He had fun on the trampoline and jumping in the ball pit. A few of the climbing areas seemed a little tough for his age, maybe better for 3+. The place seemed clean and staff was friendly. Parking was easy and we had fun! Will definitely be back. I wouldn’t recommend for children under 2.”

“We came for the New Year's cruise and at no time did we regret our choice to celebrate this moment like this. The crew was friendly, pleasant and helpful. The food was good. We recommend everyone to go there!”

“Came here for a spoken word/poetry show and it is much smaller than expected but perfect for the event held, it was a cozy intimate setting. I've seen tickets for other events and was hesitant about booking because I didn't know how the seating would be, but after visiting I'd return to another event here. I feel like no matter where you sit you'll have a good view of the stage.”

“Food is great, the menu isn't too big which shows they focus on a certain amount of dishes which means generally they take pride and the dishes are bound to be good. The branzino could use more oil, although don't get me wrong, it wasn't dry! But it did not come with a lemon like other places? but the waitor there is super nice and took care of us well overall.”

“We had a great time visiting with our 5 year old son. There were plenty of interactive exhibits to keep him entertained and engaged the entire time we were there. Every single room had buttons to press that controlled different things that related to aviation and space. I also was able to chat with a docent for 10 minutes to learn more about the history of aviation on Long Island. Such a neat history and what an awe inspiring collection of planes and historical relics this place has!! They also have two actual moon rocks in this place as well as memorabilia from Apollo 13 and other space ships!!”

“I had received a gift card for this restaurant as a Christmas gift and decided to dine out and use the gift card that night. Although I had reserved a table, the wait time was lenghty. The staff were very pleasant and we didn't mind the wait. We ordered the Salmon with capers. It was perfectly done and quite delectable. I would order it again. Thank you. It was a nice dining experience.”
