“My husband and I got married at Tourmaline on 3/13/26. We are both from Forest Hills, and it was so special to us to have our small 45-person wedding held in a location where we met and grew up. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience preparing for our wedding dinner as well as how it all went on the big day. Rebecca was extremely communicative and clear throughout the planning process. She was always available to email and speak on the phone to address any questions we had, big or small. We did not hire a DJ and instead chose to provide our own music, and Rebecca walked us through the process of bringing our own playlists (they even provided us an additional speaker for a small fee). The venue was spotless, beautiful, open and airy, with warm lighting that was both welcoming and intimate. The service was impeccable and staff was friendly and helpful. As food and beverages are one of the most important parts of an event for my husband and me, I won't cut corners on describing how that side of things went! We chose the family style/buffet dinner option with 2 cocktail hour food stations, as well as the top shelf full open bar. I can say that absolutely everything was incredible. We went with: 3 Mains: -Chicken Cordon Bleu -Short Ribs in bordelaise -Vegetarian Paella 3 Sides: -Potatoes Dauphinoise -Penne a la Vodka -Garden Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette Our two stations were the cheese and charcuterie, as well as the elegant raw bar (oysters, shrimp, clams, mussels). Everything was absolutely outstanding, with a crowd favorite being the short ribs and a personal favorite of mine being the chicken cordon bleu. However, I could not name one thing that was subpar. As a big seafood fan, I was tickled pink to be able to have oysters at my wedding. (Even more tickled pink to wake up the next morning and have leftovers for breakfast, neatly packaged by staff).Also to note: they were willing to make almost anything gluten free by request, and they even prepared a separate bowl of plain pasta for my stepson. My guests all commented how friendly the bartenders were and how nice it was to have them remember their drinks each time they went up for more! We added the additional hour to our package and were so happy we did; the 3 hours would have flown by; 4 hours really seemed to be the sweet spot for dinner, drinks, and dancing. Overall, the care, attention, and service that were provided in our wedding experience was top notch and I would give Tourmaline nothing less than 5 stars for making our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Rebecca and Yvan!”
“I recently got married at Stewart manor, and we are still living on a high from the joy of the day. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, beauty of the venue, and incredible service. Everyone especially LOVED the cocktail hour, and they were kind enough to include a Caribbean station with jerk chicken and plantains, which ended up being everyone’s favorite food of the night! We had an issue with our transportation picking up the groomsmen at the hotel, and James really helped to calm us down and ensure the day went off without a hitch. He is truly as incredible as all the reviews say he is. Although we were definitely stressed from this, James calmness and steadiness throughout helped us (and our parents) to move through the ceremony and really live in the beauty of the moment. We knew hands down that Stewart manor could handle anything that happened that day, and that sense of security and trust truly helped us overall as the day approached.
We are so grateful we chose Stewart manor as our venue. We would choose them 1000 times over, and SO look forward to any future events there as a guest!”
“Food and drinks were okay. A little overpriced in my opinion for the drinks. Two small mojitos (not strong) cost $44. Had to keep going out the room to call them if we wanted to order drinks or food; so service could be a little more attentive. But they were accommodating and very patient when it came to splitting the bill unexpectedly. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and had good sound.”
“This owner saved our baby shower. My husband and I were planning on having our baby shower in Cunningham park. Months of preparation and our families were coming from different states. When we came to the park to set up, it was freezing that day and so windy. We didn’t that would happen on May 30th. I literally googled closed venue near me, I called Bobby the owner and he said he had availability and we can do it on an affordable price! It was truly a miracle. He set up the tables and cleaned up the place for us on such short notice! I definitely recommend this place for any event! The place was beautiful! Thanks again Bobby! You are a wonderful person and I hope the best!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much to D’Joys Event Hall for making my event absolutely perfect! I truly appreciate all the help and care that went into every detail. You are such an amazing woman, and your work is incredibly beautiful.
I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know who is looking for an event hall. You went above and beyond, and it did not go unnoticed. The photos and videos you captured—especially the candid moments—were stunning and something I will cherish forever.
Everything was well worth the time and money spent. Honestly, there aren’t enough words to describe how perfect the night turned out. Even with the rain, you still made it such a wonderful and memorable experience.
You are truly amazing. God bless you and your family, and travel safely. Thank you again for everything!”
“Sea Cliff Manor is an awsome place beautiful view, great atmosphere, great dishes, the bar vey well stocked, the staff are very professional and friendly. Great place.”
“From booking through to event day everything with the B-Spot was amazing. The owner Robin was always available to answer questions and help where needed. The space was exactly what I needed in my short turn around time. I will definitely book with them again. ❤”
“This was my first time visiting the aviation museum, and it was an incredibly informative experience.
There were numerous displays and exhibits showcasing aviation history dating back to the 1800s, including iconic airlines like Pan Am and TWA.
One of the highlights was the exhibit on the very first aircraft was truly fascinating. I would definitely recommend visiting if you're interested in learning more about aviation and its history.”

“We worked with Richie on my daughter’s mitzvah and he was incredible. Very easy to talk to, responsive and extremely accommodating. Has creative ideas and knows how to make both the kids and the adults have a good time. His team is great too - especially the photographer. Highly recommend.”

“It’s long overdue for me to write this review!
I had the privilege of having my wedding at Villa Russo on June 26, 2026, and the entire experience was absolutely amazing from beginning to end.
Throughout the planning process, I had the pleasure of working with Kim and Brianna, and these two ladies were absolutely incredible. They were always professional, patient, kind, and welcoming. They never made me feel uncomfortable or pressured about anything. I would always want to come in and make payments, and they would reassure me, “Juwan, you’re good—you have time.” That level of understanding and genuine care meant so much to myself and Shakirah during the wedding planning process.
On our wedding day, I believe Eric was our point person, and he was outstanding as well. He made sure everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of throughout the celebration.
We also had the privilege of meeting Mr. Russo, who was extremely kind, welcoming, and personable. You can tell that hospitality is truly important to him and his team.
Overall, our experience at Villa Russo was TOP TIER! The professionalism, hospitality, kindness, and attention we received helped make our wedding day even more special and memorable.
Thank you to the entire Villa Russo team for being a part of such an important day in our lives. I would absolutely recommend Villa Russo to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with a team that genuinely cares about their clients.
We will definitely be having another event there in the future!
— Juwan & Shakirah”

“Danielle did an amazing Job with the decor! Everyone loved it so much. The treats were gone so quick. Raheem was a blast to have he made the kids enjoy to the fullest! Will for sure come back ! 💙🥰”
“I just had my baby girl’s first birthday here and had the most amazing experience. The decorations, the little details, the host, the bartenders everything was more than I could’ve hoped for. Thank you so much! All of my guests left very happy as well. For anyone looking for somewhere to have their event, seriously look no further!!”
“I Had my daughter’s birthday party at Suite 116 and it came out really nice. The space was clean and easy to decorate. The two floors helped separate the kids from the adults. Everyone had a good time.”
“We had an amazing experience at this party hall! The space was clean, spacious, and perfect for our event. The staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the entire process. Our guests had a great time, and everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a birthday party, family gathering, or special event. Thank you for helping make our celebration memorable!”
“The sites are comfortable, the stage are at an ideal point to watch a grouped of dancers proformance, it's close to the subway, and lots of deferent bus stops.”
“Great location for a mid sized event. Nothing bigger than 200 in my opinion. Went to a great wedding and the night was magical. Service was amazing. Shout out to the bartender growing his own mints for fresh mojitos❤”
“The instructors here are so supportive and understanding. My son has been coming here for classes for almost two years and they have always encouraged him! His core strength and motor planning have improved greatly as a result. The atmosphere of the entire place is very welcoming. The climbing routes change often and it's spacious and clean. Even if you've never rock climbed before, I highly recommend giving The Rock Club a try. :)”
“I take my son here often about every month and the staff are lovely! They remember my son and are so kind! What i love is how clean everything is and they still have lysol spray available along with water . The open play is 2 hours and my son loves it he never wants to leave. Great clean establishment with friendly staff ?”
“When I met with Yvonne to plan my friend's 40th birthday party she took all of my ideas and made everything beautiful. Her exta touches for decor was fantastic and she was so easy to work with. From the food, music,servers and the open bar was more than I expected. Everything was so professional . I would book with her again and I highly recommend her”
“I recently attended a graduation ball at Celebs and Stars. It is an amazing venue that provides a wonderful experience for their guests! Ms. Sandra and her team (shoutout Mr. Orlando) are very professional and went above and beyond to accommodate everyone. Kudos to them, I highly recommend C&S!”
“From the day we booked our wedding to our wedding day on 7/18/26, we had nothing but a positive experience.
Anna truly helped us ensure that we booked all the appropriate services for our wedding day that met what we were looking for. She carefully went through our contract with us so that there would be no surprises or unexpected hiccups. Her attention to detail, patience, and friendliness led to exceptional customer service. She made the booking experience fun, exciting, and enjoyable.
Julia assisted us in planning the details of our wedding day. From the start, I had difficulty developing our “vision” in terms of decor. About 10 months out from the wedding, I asked if we could meet with her to get her recommendations. Even though this is considered super early, Julia met with us and was extremely helpful. We went though all the finer details, she shared photos of previous events with us, and made suggestions based on some of our ideas. This truly fueled our vision and allowed us to take our time along the way with planning each and every piece of our wedding day. Whenever I had a question or concern throughout the process, Julia addressed them promptly with kindness and patience. Any time any day, she was there for me and her exceptional personality and industry expertise truly added to our experience. We couldn’t picture not having Julia as part of our journey.
On our wedding day, Kerry and Brianna, our bridal attendants, were top notch. Kerry was constantly a step ahead of me, predicting my next move or need, with the utmost friendliness, positivity, and sincerity. She even changed my shoes for me without me even having to ask, she just knew. She also spoke Spanish, which was an unexpected bonus given that my husband had a ton of family from Argentina who only spoke Spanish. From the second I walked out of the limo, Brianna was undoubtedly patient, kind, thoughtful, and helpful—she was there to help me with my dress, provide drink in hand, bustle my dress, and ensure that all photos went smoothly without my dress being ruined by any mud. Both Kerry and Brianna kept an eye out of our families, and addressed anything they or our bridal party needed tenfold. They were on their A game, and both far surpassed our expectations.
Carlos, our maitre’d, ensured that every detail was properly taken care of. We really wanted to enjoy some of our cocktail hour, and he made sure we had the opportunity to fit in some photos, room reveal, and still make it to cocktail. Throughout the night, we observed him ensuring that the night went seamlessly and smoothly without hiccups.
The wait staff and bartenders were phenomenal, we have heard so many positive comments about how efficiently they worked and took care of each guest with kindness and a smile.
The grounds at the Inn at NHP are immaculate. We were supposed to split our photos with here and Westbury Gardens. Due to the weather and the grounds at Westbury Gardens being flooded, we did all of our photos at the Inn at NHP courtyard. This honestly was a win win. The sun peeked out exactly when we needed it to, and their picture-perfect grounds were in great condition to capture photos of my husband and I, our families, and our bridal parties.
Because of this incredible team, we had the wedding day of our dreams. We truly could not be more grateful, and will always be in love with the Inn at NHP! 🤍”
“Staff is exceptional. Bathrooms are accessible and thry have a lot of them. Even with a large line after a concert the wait isnt long because of how many bathrooms they have. What a great venue and the prices for food/drink are very reasonable. Theyre cashless.”
“I wanted to thank Skylight hall and their staff for their professionalism. The repass service for my grandmother went very well and the service was great. I appreciate how adaptable the team was and they were around for everything needed! I appreciate that the place was clean and the staff was so helpful. Thank you for allowing us to use the space.”
“Omri and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. The place truly has everything you need, and the staff goes out of their way to accommodate any request and make you feel welcome. The atmosphere was great, the drinks were excellent, and the food was delicious. Everything was well thought out and exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience.”
“Great space, friendly staff and manager & my guests & I had a great time ? Also convenient location next to the A train & parking was not an issue in the area.”
“We went to celebrate my birthday on the night of the Astoria fireworks and were greeted by not only kind, considerate, and generous service, but also the beautiful scenery of the East River from the comfort of a luxury yacht.
All of the staff, but especially Bernabella and Michelle, made our evening so special and made the entire boat trip feel like such a celebration. Notably, the buffet food was very good and they were incredibly accommodating to my sister who had an allergy. We are absolutely looking forward to coming back again!”
