If you want a PARTY, book this venue. They have multiple rooms at this venue you can book depending on your headcount. We booked the Majestic Room on the top floor for 75 people. They also have the Swan Room that can fit over 150 people or something like that. The whole second floor was dedicated to our event. Here are some of the features it had that just makes sense functionally: we had a bridal suite that fit our whole bridal party and parents, an elevator since it was on the second floor, a grand staircase, our own bathrooms and bar separate from the downstairs area, a built-in dance floor, and a welcome landing. We had to bring minimal decorations, like centerpieces and such. They provide table settings, everything in the bar, name cards, and table numbers. We suggest finding a vendor for uplighting. Our DJ provided it for us and made the room look amazing. The food is fancy and delicious. In the days that followed our reception, we received compliments about the entrees and passed hors d’oeuvres. They are plated like an inspired high-end restaurant. We had an open bar and everyone was very pleased with the service. TLDR: these people know what they’re doing. The space is BUILT for weddings, not retrofitted, and it shows. The service is WHITE GLOVE and the food will impress your guests. Book this venue!

We could not have had a better wedding experience and a huge part of that is due to the amazing staff at the Pavilion. Emily helped us every step of the way. She answered all of the many questions I had, organized our tasting, did our final meeting with us where we went over all of the details and assured us that we were in good hands. On the day of, Tarek and Sabrina were hands down the best. They were there to help us with anything we needed and were checking in on us frequently. They provided us with food and drinks too. Sabrina and Cece were super helpful bustling my dress, and could not have been kinder to all. The staff packed up food for me and my new husband to enjoy. They were incredible with set up and clean up too! I got to pick up all of my things the morning after and Tarek even helped me load the car! If how the staff is hasn’t convinced you enough, you cannot beat the location. We had the best weather, perfect sunset, and views that no one could resist taking a picture of. Our wedding day was truly the best day and an unforgettable one. The guests raved about the beautiful views, the kind staff, and the DELICIOUS food (go Chef Ethan!). Truly the best venue around!

We knew when we walked in that this was going to be it. From day 1 I felt like we were in the best hands and we absolutely were, Stonebridge was a literal dream. Our wedding day was best day and night ever, and Stonebridge was to thank for that and more. Everything was beyond perfect. The venue is beautiful from its floor to ceiling windows in the reception room, to big bar in the cocktail hour room, and huge and stunning bridal suite. We had 262 attend and with utilizing inside and outside for cocktail hour we all fit comfortably. Not crowded at all once they open the reception room up. The grounds are gorgeous with a well-manicured green, trees, flowers, bridge for first look and waterfall. The way they set up all of our signs, Jenga guest book, memory table, escort cards, cigar bar, other photos and decor was better than I even imagined. The food was AMAZING. Cocktail hour stations, pass-arounds, salads, main courses were delicious and had gotten great feedback even from foodie guests. There is also sooo much to choose from. We received so many compliments from guests about how good everything was. Just have to say again we had some VERY critical foodie guests and literally everyone loved it. From the very start, Diana, our event coordinator was a GEM to work with. Never pushy and always honest throughout the process, responsive and patient with me especially two weeks leading up to the wedding when I had questions multiple times a day. Terrance, the maitre’d, is THE BEST. He ran the wedding like clockwork even with our large amount of guests we were on schedule from morning until the end. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for you, on schedule, and that your drink and plates are never empty, pulling us away to have a moment to ourselves or wherever we needed to be at multiple points of the evening. He makes you feel that your wedding is as special and important to him as it is to you. My bridal attendants were also lovely. I don’t like when people are doing stuff for me in general and I’m an easy going do things myself person but they were literally there every second for anything I needed. Stonebridge is ON IT ALL, they know EXACTLY what they are doing! I would choose Stonebridge again and again and will continue to rave and beam about them 5ever.

I had my wedding at Anthony’s Ocean View. It was amazing and well worth every penny. Brian and Marcello are the best! I will say, the only negative aspect is that I was under the impression that only 1 wedding happened at a time - there was another wedding happening right next to us. This impacted our music, our photos and my speech was cut off because the other weddings music was so loud that the floor vibrated and I had to ask staff to do something. Other than that, the venue was beautiful, so accommodating, and food was absolutely fantastic. Would recommend Anthony’s to anyone.

Our wedding was outside and it was a gorgeous day, but I also would have been happy if we needed to do the ceremony inside because the decor is so stunning. All of my pictures look amazing because the mansion is such a stunning backdrop. I highly recommend you have your wedding here!!

We were so impressed by how seamless the entire day went, from the planning process to the actual event. The team was incredibly attentive by customizing our reception space to reflect our vision. Their attention to detail in every aspect, from the table settings to the lighting, made our special day feel uniquely ours. Our day-of coordinator worked with grace and precision, making sure everything unfolded effortlessly.

The indoor spaces, with their rich history and elegant décor, perfectly complemented the outdoor beauty. We loved how the venue was versatile enough to host both our ceremony and reception in one place, while still offering distinct areas for guests to enjoy. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food and exceptional service.

My husband and I got married here on May 11th, and it was truly a dream wedding. The food was amazing, and my guests were sure to let me know that. The view was unreal, and upkeep was so great we didn't need to spend much on floral, since the Candlewood Inn has such beautiful scenery and foliage. Krista was my coordinator and she was extremely helpful during the entire I was engaged and planning up until the day of the wedding, she is the absolute sweetest. Delilah and Brooke were my wedding helpers, not sure of the right term, and they literally helped me with every single thing on my wedding day. They made sure i had a drink in hand, that I was ok, that I ate, that my dress was on right. I truly don't know what i would have done without them, they really showed they cared about me. I am so grateful I was able to get married in the most beautiful place close to home.

We could not be more happy with how our wedding turned out at Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club. There are so many things that make this venue special. The service, the scenery, the food, and the run of show were all spectacular. The service. We received attentive and detailed service throughout the entire planning process. The director of events, Bob, answered all of our emails promptly and with detail. He is a wonderful man who goes above and beyond to make sure that we were thoroughly satisfied and feeling well taken care of. Bob was so fantastic at helping us come up with solutions to challenges that emerged at different stages of the planning process, and we couldn’t have pulled off the party we wanted without his patience, thoughtfulness, and support. On the day of, we were made to feel so special by all the staff at MBYC. We were given a personal “bridal attendant” who followed us around all day and attended to any needs we had that came up- like holding my bouquet during photos, getting us fresh drinks, grabbing some items from the bridal suite. All of our guests were telling us how impressed they were by the level of service and consideration they received from all the staff. Everyone was kind, professional, and in great spirits. The scenery. The venue space at MB&YC is truly RIGHT on the water! It is so incredibly gorgeous. The cocktail hour is on a beautiful deck over the water. The reception is in a ballroom with giant windows facing the water. The space does not need much more decoration to feel special. It is elegant and special, yet practical, home-y, and not at all stuffy. The food. We were so impressed by the food. Typically wedding food is basic and mass produced, but every dish at MB&YC felt special. We had so many friends after the wedding recounting their favorite bites throughout the night. The mac and cheese bites as well as the New York Strip Steak were definitely crowd pleasers. Not only was the food plentiful, but it was all also incredibly tasty. Bob and his staff also made sure to take care of our guests with dietary restrictions. Everyone ate well at our wedding. The run of show. Bob and his team were working very hard the evening of our wedding to ensure the schedule was kept and everything went as planned. Leading up to the event, Bob heard all of our concerns and desires, and he was able to execute a fabulous event the evening of our wedding. I was never once concerned that something was missing or forgotten, I trusted Bob and I knew he was going to make sure we had a perfect night. Overall, definitely book your wedding here at MB&YC! We can’t speak highly enough about our special day here!
