Westbury Manor

A true gem. Do not pass up on the opportunity to have your wedding at the Westbury Manor. From the first meeting, I knew it was the place for us. The owner is very professional and honest. This is important when picking a venue as you want to work with people who care about the couple and not just the money. The staff obviously values their couples and their job. It is a warm and welcoming atmosphere with staff who have been there years, which is a good sign! I will next start with my experience visiting venues. I searched all over Jersey, Brooklyn, and Long Island. Other venues offered little, the food I could tell would not be quality, the places were cookie cutter looking, and overpriced. The WBM offers what they do not. It's all about the money with most places. When we got to the WBM, I initially was drawn by their professionalism, honesty, and the beauty of the venue. Two men dressed in butler style attire opened the doors for us. There was a live piano player at the bar to the left. The venue is a Victorian Mansion with wood and decoration and paintings. There are old school phone booths to the right. The waiters are also dressed elegantly. I truly stepped back in time! I love the Victorian era. You are not in a typical catering hall here. This might seem minor, but at other places, the bathrooms look like you're at the airport. Not here. The bathrooms were very elegant too. Your guests will be impressed with the fine quality of everything they see as soon as they enter. The manager took us into the garden. It was spectacular. Fountains, greenery, flowers, little ponds, rocks with waterfalls, peacocks, quaint bridges. You just have to see it for yourself. Now, another thing I noticed at other places was if it is raining, there is no beautiful place for cocktail hour. This is important. The WBM has a gorgeous indoor library and also a sunroom with antique, stained glass windows. So do not worry about bad weather, because the cocktail hour will be gorgeous, not in some corner room like I've seen at other weddings with everyone cramped together. One of the most important things about a wedding is the food. The guests said the food was excellent. The recipes are passed down through generations, so it isn't commercial food. Just eat at the restaurant on a day when it is open, and you'll see how excellent the food is. There was so much good food at the cocktail hour, my guests were blown away. They offer many options and stations which is hard to find now. Our wedding was outside in the garden area on a nice, warm day, which made it stunning as well. The experience was out of a movie. My niece thought she was in the Secret Garden and playing. As for the party, it was a lot of fun, the food was raved about, the service was quality, and there were many options for dinner, not just three. That is also a huge plus. Much is included. The cordial bar was fantastic; guests can get cappuccino and other drinks, not just regular coffee like at most places, and the drinks were good too. You can get different desserts. My Maitre'D Phil, and Bridal Attendant, Claudia, were professional and helped us a lot. He helped decorate the cake with my aunt and make the place look beautiful. I would not pass this place up as the quality is hard to find. Also Sandra worked with us towards the end and is the most patient, kind and helpful person. Everyone was great. Thanks Westbury Manor and Jerry for having us!

Me and my husband had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate our wedding at Westbury Manor. There are soo many wonderful things to say! For starters maitre d'
Phil went above and beyond for us! He took charge and coordinated everything to ensure that we were happy and comfortable! It’s safe to say we had a stress free evening and a most definite night to remember! So we 1001% recommend asking for Phil to maitre d' your wedding. You will not be disappointed! My bridal attendant Teresa also went above and beyond and took care of me the whole night. She made sure my dress looked amazing in every photos I took. Even when we were taking photos outside while it was raining, she made it her mission to keep my dress clean and away from huge puddles. So I recommend asking for her as well! Both Teresa and Phil were very attendant! They gave us drinks and food whenever we asked, as well as checking in to see if we needed anything else. Overall Westbury Manor is truly a gem and the best venue on Long Island. You will not be disappointed!
