We had our wedding here about two weeks ago and it was the most amazing experience. The food was AMAZING, the staff was INCREDIBLE, and everything was simply perfect. From the very beginning, the kindness and warmth of the Sea Cliff Manor staff was extremely palpable. The beautiful interior and exterior decor is a true reflection on the type of venue this is. Ian and Sophia have been incredibly helpful, supportive, and uplifting. They have answered any and every question we threw their way with a smile and worked with us every step of the process, ensuring there was not a single hiccup along the way. I would highly recommend using Sea Cliff Manor as a venue for your celebration - it is truly unmatched.
From the moment we walked into Sea Cliff Manor, we knew it was the one. It was actually the first and only venue we looked at because the same day we toured, we immediately fell in love and booked it on the spot.
Sophia was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and helpful from the very beginning. She made the entire experience feel so special and truly helped us envision our dream wedding there.
Fast forward to our wedding day, it honestly could not have gone more perfectly. Ian and the entire team went above and beyond in every possible way to make sure our day was seamless, stress-free, and everything we dreamed it would be.
The views were absolutely incredible. We were lucky enough to have the most gorgeous sunset, and with the sun shining during cocktail hour, the entire atmosphere felt magical. The cocktail hour itself was completely out of this world, from the live saxophone player creating such an elegant vibe to the most unique, classy, and delicious dishes being served all throughout the space. Our guests are still talking about it!
The venue itself is stunning, the food was amazing, and the staff made us and our guests feel so special all night long. Every detail was handled so professionally, and we truly felt cared for from start to finish.
We are beyond grateful to the entire Sea Cliff Manor team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would choose this venue again a million times over!
Choosing Sea Cliff Manor was the best decision we ever made. Though the wedding process is never easy, the staff at Sea Cliff answered every question without hesitation. They listened to every thought I had and found ways to make that vision come to life. Truly, we couldn’t want more from a wedding venue.
Now, brides- they do not do food tastings. HOWEVER, one will not be needed. Their food was SENSATIONAL. I was skeptical at first not having the chance to try any items, but my goodness they did not disappoint. The food was so delicious and flavorful. They even gave us a giant skillet of Mac N Cheese for the cocktail hour with an assortment of toppings. My husband and I are big foodies and were so impressed by the rich flavor of each food item. We choose the Argentinian skirt steak with chimichurri as our entree and man was it out of this world. The food alone has me rating them 10/10. All of our guests have rave to us about how delicious the food was.
The venue itself is magical. The way the sun glistens on the water, the outdoor garden and scenic views of the sound. Sea Cliff Manor is hands down the best wedding venue in Long Island. It has charm, character, and such a romantic vibe. I am so grateful for the wonderful wedding we got to have there. The venue and staff is dedicated to one wedding per day, making it an individual and unique experience.
If you’re looking to book here, do it. You will not regret it. It was beyond worth it. I wish we could get married again just to relive this day. 🥹
(Also, please think about selling food on the side. I would give anything to have that Mac again hahaha)
We frequently work at this venue and it never disappoints. The staff is highly professional and keeps everything running smoothly. The outdoor lighting is fantastic for photos, and the bar area has a beautiful aesthetic that really stands out. We always enjoy shooting here and look forward to being back again soon!
Wonderful wedding venue. Only down side as a guest was where all the tables are you can’t see the sweetheart table or dance floor. But wonderful food, drinks and service. Beautiful venue.
We got married here on 5/25/25, and it was truly the best day of our lives! From start to finish, everything at Sea Cliff Manor was absolutely perfect.
Josh, the maître d’, took such incredible care of us. From the moment we arrived, he was extremely attentive. He even handed me a bottle of water with a straw right away, which I didn’t even realize I needed! During cocktail hour, he went above and beyond to make sure I didn’t get anything on my dress. He put a tablecloth over my chair and carefully covered my dress so I could relax and enjoy myself without worrying. He made sure we had drinks, that we actually ate, and kept everything running right on schedule, all while smiling the entire night. He truly made us feel so taken care of.
The entire team at Sea Cliff Manor was a dream to work with. We originally met with Nick and instantly felt a connection, which made us confident we were in the right hands. Food was incredibly important to us since I am dairy-free and my husband has several allergies, and the staff took our dietary restrictions very seriously. We felt completely safe and cared for, and the food was absolutely amazing. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was!
We highly recommend Sea Cliff Manor for your wedding. They pay attention to every detail and make sure everything runs smoothly so you can fully enjoy your day. It truly is the perfect venue!
Amazing venue! The staff were professional, organized, and went above and beyond to make sure my daughter’s wedding day was seamless. The food surpassed our expectations! Everything was absolutely delicious and not typical “wedding food”. Our guests are still raving about it! I am so pleased and impressed with Sea Cliff Manor. Thank you for making the day perfect!
We just had my daughter's wedding at this wonderful venue, it was fabulous! Professional and attentive staff, who were accommodating and adaptive. Ian is a class act, he managed the entire process flawlessly. We loved the environment and it was clear that this establishment is well practiced in offering a patienced hand to an event that can be anxiety driven and making it work for the bride, groom, family and guests. Highly recommended
This is a very delayed review! My husband and I got married at Sea Cliff Manor on November 14th! I have to say it was the best decision ever made. Everything about our day was perfect. SCM was so accommodating to everything we wanted. The entire staff goes above and beyond. Ian was especially on top of the whole day for us. Truly feel like a part of a family there. All our guests raved about the food as well saying it exceeded any other wedding food they had. overall if we hd to do the day over again Sea Cliff would be our choice every time.
My wife and I got married here in January 2026, and we (well, really my wife) could not have chosen a better venue for our celebration with ~110 guests. Communication with the venue was excellent and prompt throughout the entire year leading up to the wedding, especially during the final month. Ian was incredibly helpful, giving us the tools, information, and wisdom from his many years of experience that we needed to plan a smooth, seamless wedding where both we and our guests could truly enjoy ourselves.
And smooth it was! Ian worked his magic throughout the entire day and left us wondering what we had been worried about in the first place. We were especially impressed by the SEAMLESS (not an exaggeration) transitions between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception; you could NOT tell at all what was happening behind the curtains/dividers. Although we sadly didn’t get to eat much ourselves, we received countless compliments on the quality, variety, and, most of all, the taste of the food, even from some of our pickiest guests.
Our wedding day was truly one of, if not the happiest day of our lives, and we feel incredibly lucky to have celebrated it at Sea Cliff Manor. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again for everything, Ian. We look forward to one day returning to this venue as wedding guests!
We truly could not have been happier with our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor this past November. From the ambiance to the food, every single detail was absolutely amazing. Having the full day at the manor made the experience feel relaxed, special, and completely ours.
The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive, and from the moment we put down our deposit to the day of the wedding, Ian was on top of everything. We cannot say enough wonderful things about him, if you have the chance to work with Ian, you are beyond in the best hands. His professionalism, organization, and genuine care made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
Even after the wedding, people are still talking about how beautiful and amazing Sea Cliff Manor was. The food was absolutely delicious. From the cocktail hour to our sit down and even our after party. Each and every single thing we selected was outstanding, and the amount of food you get, WOW! It is truly a class act of a venue. Thank you so much for hosting our wedding and giving us a night we will cherish forever. 5 stars all around!! We love you guys!!
My wife and i got married here in July of 2023. I have been to several events at this venue since then and it never disappoints. Every single time I have been to this place it was nothing short of perfect. This is an excellent venue for an intimate setting. It is not a huge place but it is charming, classy and worth every penny! Ian was our Maitre D' and he did everything possible to make our event memorable, a true master of his profession. Three years later, all of our guests still talk about how epic our wedding was. Some even refer to it as a fairy tale wedding. When looking back at the pictures I can still taste the food. Our cocktail hour was outdoors with numerous food/drink stations, the bacon and bourbon was absolutely delicious. They had just finished the speakeasy room which came out incredible. Words simply cannot describe how good our experience was at our wedding and every event since. Thank you Nick, Ian and the rest of the staff at Seacliff Manor for giving us memories we will cherish forever. You guys are the best! I can't believe i didn't write this review sooner!
We got married on 8/2/25 and it was an absolute dream! SCM was amazing! It was the only venue we toured and we immediately knew we wanted to get married there. We didn't want a cookie cutter banquet hall, and SCM offers an intimate setting that was exactly what we wanted. We loved that they only do one wedding a day so you get the team’s undivided attention. The water views, grounds and sunset were absolutely gorgeous. SCM was very reasonably priced compared to the other options we were considering, and for everything that's included it really is an amazing deal for a Long Island wedding. Our guests raved about the food - everything was insanely delicious. Ian made sure the day ran smoothly and everything went according to plan. He and his team made sure everything was set up the way we wanted to and that our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. Our family members have described our wedding as perfect, and we have the team at SCM to thank for that. Thank you SCM team for everything!
REALLY gorgeous setting for a mid-Fall wedding. (I was in the bridal party, not the bride, FYI, so I can't speak to planning). Food was DELICIOUS, staff was AMAZING and helpful and friendly, everything was clean and bright and well-cared-for. Grounds were beautiful. The bride and groom were taken care of and we all had a wonderful time. The Ceremony itself was perfect and highest compliments to all involved.
My only notes: cocktail hour happened as the sun went down, and in mid-Fall it got cold quickly, even with outdoor heaters; if you're in the wedding party, bring an outer layer. We ended up going up to the Bridal suite to warm up.
If you are having pictures taken, don't wear shoes that have pointy heels, as they will most likely sink into the soft ground/lawn, which is on a bit of an incline (heads up if you have any mobility issues). Not a big deal, just a heads-up.
We brought our dresses to get changed into onsite, but the bridal suite (while beautiful and well-fitted with seats, photo opportunities [beautiful lighting]), and places to put things you might bring with you) isn't actually the best place to get changed; the large windows offer guests below a glimpse up, and the glass window separating the Groom's Suite from the Bridal Suite is covered by a curtain of sorts on the Groom's side that can be pulled back by anyone in that room for a peek into ours. Two of the bridal party are not adults and we didn't feel comfortable getting changed in there. We opted to get changed in the ladies' room across from the Bridal Suite, which is roomy, but there aren't enough hooks to hang dresses so we had to juggle things; there isn't a lock on the main door so at one point I had my husband stand guard outside; and several times when we went in to get changed, touch things up, or just use the bathroom (which can be an issue in a bridesmaid's dress as you might imagine), staff was sitting in the toilet stalls, talking on the phone and (in one instance) Facetiming. We had to wait to get dressed or use the toilets (as there was no lock on the main bathroom door, we had to get changed in the stalls for privacy) while staff finished their conversations in the toilet stalls. At one point there were three of us (bridesmaid + junior bridesmaids) crammed in the larger stall as I helped one use the toilet while trying to keep her dress out of it, and helped the other struggle into an outfit change, while the staff member in the toilet stall next to us made a Facetime call. At another time, we waited for a free stall for so long that other members of the wedding party called us, wondering if we were okay/needed help. I get it, I used to valet park at a very exclusive country club and there were times when you needed to use the bathroom, make a call, or even just take a breather, but we were strictly forbidden from using bathrooms or suites meant for Party members. Not a deal breaker, just something to keep in mind if you plan to get changed onsite.
Overall though, a really beautiful venue with awesome staff that added up to a wonderful day. Thank you!
Although we ultimately decided on a different venue, we absolutely loved our experience here! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. Sophia, who gave us the tour, was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond to make us feel special and cared for. Its clear that she, Nick, and everyone at this venue truly cares about each couple and their wedding day. We cant recommend them enough.
