“We had such a great experience at Krafty Hands.
We joined open hour Slime Time which was a great hands-on experience for them. We also got to meet the new owner, Radhika, who was so welcoming and sweet. You can really see the effort and passion she’s putting into the place. The kids truly enjoyed themselves, and we had a great time overall. Definitely recommend checking out Krafty Hands, especially if you’re looking for a fun activity for the kids and a great place for moms and dads to hang out as well. ❤”

“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!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!”

“We had my daughter’s 4th birthday party at Once Upon a Sundae, and it was absolutely amazing! We brought our own decorations, and the staff set everything up beautifully, it looked even better than I imagined. From start to finish, they made the entire process so easy and completely stress free.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with exceptional service, I highly recommend Once Upon a Sundae. They truly helped make my daughter’s birthday so special, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience!”

“Gorgeous venue! So we'll staffed and organized. The staff were all professional, courteous and really did a great job. The cocktail hour and buffet dinner food was delicious ?. Thank you to ACLD for throwing a wonderful staff holiday party at this venue.”

“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.”

“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’ve had such a great experience here. The coaches are incredibly patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in the kids they work with. They do an amazing job meeting each child where they are and bringing out the best in them. We’ve seen meaningful growth not only in physical skills and coordination, but most importantly, in confidence. It’s such a positive, encouraging environment, and we’re very grateful to have found this place.”

“Visiting from out of town for a family event & we decided last minute to go bowling. we had unlimited bowling for $17.99! Staff was pleasant & place was clean. Food took awhile but at least we had entertainment as we waited. Also got free drink refills. NFL games were being played along with nice music”

“The in-store design consultancy at A Charmed Life Boutique transformed my space into a stylish and inviting environment. The team's expertise and creativity brought my vision to life.”

“We had the most incredible experience at The Barn! At the last minute, my husband Thomas and I had to switch venues from our original reception space to here, and we were so stressed , but from the very beginning Emily took care of everything. She gave us a tour, a food tasting, and even introduced us to the staff so we felt at ease leading up to the big day.
On the wedding day itself, we were blown away. Our maître d’, Carl, and our bridal assistant, Natalie, were absolutely phenomenal. They went above and beyond in every single way , from helping me (the bride) with something as personal as going to the bathroom, to discreetly switching out napkins for my groom as he worked up a sweat, to making sure we always had a drink in our hand. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attentiveness made us feel completely cared for.
The Barn staff turned what started as a stressful situation into the best day of our lives, and we are forever grateful we got married here. Highly recommend!”

“We had my son’s 6th birthday party at No Limit Ninja in Farmingdale this past weekend and the kids had a fantastic time. The coaches/staff handled set up/clean up, kept the kids engaged, very polite and organized. Also the pizza/food was delicious, we were pleasantly surprised. Thank you for making my son's birthday a memorable one! Highly recommend.”

“Place was 10/10 - my fiancé and I are considering wedding venues and Jesse the bartender was awesome. He made us feel like we were the star of the show the whole night!”

“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!”

“Nestled in a quiet gated community, nice place but takes a while to get through the gate. You need to show ID prior which creates a long line so arrive a few minutes minutes early for your even.”

“Always a pleasure renting The Vamps Club. This is the second time we have used this venue for a baby shower. It's convenient, spacious and helps to have a kitchen on site.”

“Best night ever. The Best of the BEST! We had our 165 guest wedding at Memorare this past weekend and to say that they made all of our dreams come true when it comes to what we envisioned, would be an understatement!!! From our initial interaction with Barry to our monthly meetings with Corri (because I was ALOT), they listened to everything we wanted and they certainly delivered. The staff were ALL phenomenal (especially Jennifer) and the food was AMAZING!!!! The past two days we've been receiving glowing reviews from our guests like "best wedding ever" & "what a great venue & event". We are truly grateful to Barry & everyone from Memorare & 100% recommend them for any of your events”

“Just had my daughters birthday party here. She and her friends said it was the best party ever. They are so organized. Thank you for pampering my daughter and her friends! So many great memories were made here today!”

“Great space, located on top of the fire house. Space seat up to 120 people and there is a dance floor, a bar, kitchen, and three bathrooms. Flat fee to rent space, not a per person charge. Includes tables, chairs, soft drinks, ice, and bartender. Can connect to their speaker system by Bluetooth. You bring everything else (e.g. food, table cloth, decorations, plates, cups, utensils, napkins, alcohol).”

“The food, people, and venue were great. The only problem was with the size/quantity of the buffet tables. With about 300 people (or so I heard) there were only 2 tables. The lines to the buffet stretched out of the buffet room across the dance floor in the next room. Maybe make 4 tables with half the selections on each table, breaking the lines into 4 lines.”

“We absolutely loved this Venue! The room Regina created for us for my family’s party was unbelievable. Regina is creative, kind and attentive and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Whimsical Vine Party Hall! Regina, from the bottom of our hearts, Thank you so much!! We be back. Xo”

“Listen Alisha and the Chameleon family went above and beyond to make sure our special day was eventful. We were welcomed like family with open arms and Alisha was very accommodating. Anything we needed, we asked and she did her magic. Highly recommend this location for the spacious location, plenty of parking and the wonderful staff. Thank you again.”

“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! 🤍”

“The staff - at the hotel and restaurant - were remarkable. It was my wife’s birthday, and they went above and beyond for her (in a very elevated way). The room, food, and staff were exceptional. Bravo!”

“Had a big birthday celebration Nov 23rd. Lee, the manager, was absolutely the best! Knowledgeable, affable, accommodating, patient. The room is large, tastefully done. Lee and his wonderful staff made my event spectacular. Thank you to all.”

“Had a 70th birthday surprise party here and it was perfect! We booked this location for the inside/outside combo and it did not disappoint. We paid to have use of the outdoor area/bar (TV included for Sunday Football!) and had a band play. The tents outside were big enough to hold guests under during a brief rain and the grass area was amazing for the kids to run around and play. Linda was very easy to communicate with and our guests are still talking about how great it was.”

“Photographed a Wedding as I am a Professional Photographer. Simple decor. One wedding or event at a time. Bridal suite is upstairs. Bathrooms are clean. No musty smells present. Clean throughout the premises. Only had a chance to try the lemon Chicken. Lightly floured and made properly, accompanied with Vegetables and whipped potatoes. The staff was very nice and helpful. Ample Parking in Parking Lot. Accessible to major highways.”

“My son goes to this daycare and he loves it. Every day he wakes up excited to go, and on weekends he wakes up asking if I'm taking him. It's a very welcoming place and he's learned a lot. He's been going for two years and he loves it. I highly recommend it.”

“I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the people behind it. My husband and I hosted our baby shower here, and it was truly everything I hoped for and more. Yanara and her husband were so kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the day special for us. From our first conversation, I felt heard and supported.

The space is beautiful, elegant, and welcoming, the kind of place that instantly feels right for an intimate and meaningful celebration. My husband even planned a surprise proposal during the event, and the way everything came together made it unforgettable.

I’m incredibly grateful for the care and thought they put into every detail. If you’re considering this venue, I highly recommend scheduling a meeting and seeing it in person. It’s a special place, and we already know we’ll be back for future family celebrations.”
