Working with the staff at Sea Cliff Manor leading up to our wedding in October 2021 was totally smooth and professional. The staff worked with us and made sure that we had everything requested. Food, setup, and acommodations. We wanted pumpkin beer at our Craft Beer station and they made sure to get us more than 1. We wanted to make sure guests felt comfortable due to COVID, so they kept tables outside incase guests wanted to eat their meals there. Nick and Ian helped make sure everything was perfect from beginning to end. We 10/10 recommend Sea Cliff Manor!

Came here for a wedding reception. Beautiful scenic view of the afternoon sun, sunset, and night lights. Guests were allowed to exit a side door entrance to get some air in the grass area if one needed a reprieve from the gathering.
The staff were friendly and attentive. Kudos to the employees.
The cocktail hour on this day included food from station with cold cuts, cheese, and fruits while other included italian, tex-mex, and bbq. Dinner was 3 course meal that was good.
Wonderful place for a wedding reception.

We had a wonderful wedding at this venue. It was such a special day due to the impeccable service, the stunning grounds, and the utmost support from Ian. He guided us every step of the way from the food, to the tables, to the ceremony, and often anticipated our needs along the way. We appreciate the sensational team effort that the Sea Cliff Manor staff put into making our day so memorable.

They make a lovely affair. The scenery was beautiful, the food was very good and the service was excellent. I would suggest that women wear shoes that do not sink into the ground and give support. The grounds are on an incline, which makes it difficult to walk in heals and navigate wheelchairs. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time.

We got married on July 4th and it was the best day ever! The staff was extremely professional and attentive, anything we needed we were able to get. Not only is the location a hidden gem, but the guests will be talking about the food weeks after the wedding! Our guests were raving about how nice the servers were and the sunset makes for unforgettable pictures. It has been newly renovated and has an awesome speakeasy room that also make for great pictures. We cannot say enough great things about Sea Cliff, the owner Nick and Maitre d' Ian. We wish we could go back and do it all over again!!!

My sister recently had her wedding at sea cliff manor and it was nothing short of perfect! The venue is beautiful, food delicious and staff attentive and professional..especially our waitress Minnie! We can’t thank Ian and his team enough for making the day perfect.

I cannot say enough positive things about Sea Cliff Manor. We got married here this past July and do not even know where to begin. When we first visited Sea Cliff Manor on a whim while visiting venues, we were not sure what we were looking for. We met with Ian who made it so clear that this was the perfect venue for us. Throughout everything, Sea Cliff Manor really went above and beyond to accommodate my family and I through all the planning. They were quick to answer emails, extremely flexible and kind, and it is so clear they put the couples and families they work with first. So many other venues

Usually in life you have to fail to learn to know what to not do and what to do the next time. Your wedding will be one of the most important days in your life so how can you minimize the errors that will come? By having a team of people who support you before during and after the day. Nick and Ian who help facilitate the event were apart of that dream team! It was 100% flawless! The venue itself is so beautiful and for the pricing I will stake its unbeatable. My wife was 100% satisfied so I’m even happier!! I had people comment non stop the beauty of the venue AND the food how good it was. Usually

First and foremost, this venue worked so diligently and carefully during COVID. They were extremely attentive and made us feel at ease during the pandemic. I’ve read horror stories on multiple venues in this group on how they treated their brides during COVID, and Sea Cliff Manor stood behind us through and through. They treat you like family and I couldn’t be more thankful and honored of having my wedding hosted at their venue.
We looked at about 11 different venues and Sea Cliff was the last one we visited. Words cannot explain how absolutely breathtaking this venue

Planning a wedding sucks. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is even worse, but Sea Cliff Manor made the entire situation as easy as possible. My husband and I toured SCM in September 2019 and knew from the instant we arrived that we were going to get married there. Without even looking at another venue, we booked and couldn't have been happier. When COVID hit and the world shut down, Nick was so kind and was able to provide us a back up date in case we chose to postpone and didn't increase pricing at all. When we decided to move forward with a 2020 wedding, he and Ian were super supportive

The food is delicious and you'll have a wide variety of food for your event. We recommend the Taste of Italy station because those meatballs are out of this world. The venue itself is beautiful and you'll get the most beautiful pictures. The staff is so attentive! They are also so nice! Ian made sure we had everything we wanted for our wedding and was so sweet leading up to the wedding and so professional the day of to make sure everything went smoothly! Nick, the owner, was so accommodating! He worked with us to make sure we had everything we wanted without breaking the bank!

I feel every bride should love there venue and deserves there dream wedding. My husband and I were fortunate enough to get married on one of the most beautiful days of the year, September 27th 2019. From beginning to end the Seacliff manor gave us our dream wedding. We worked so closely with the owner Nick and his maitre D, Ian since the day we booked. We had a vision and they made that vision a reality. We arrived early to take pictures on the grounds and across the street to get some water and sunset shots. Our bridal attendant, Camille surpassed our expectations as she was on top of everything

Sea Cliff--Sea for Yourself
The historic Sea Cliff Manor offers a spectacular opportunity to enjoy the romance and unique beauty of Long Island. We attended a wedding over a year ago at this property, and I finally had to sit down and write this review since the day we spent at Sea Cliff has lasted forever in my memory.
Sea Cliff is not only a picture-perfect spot for a wedding venue (so picture-perfect, in fact, it is easy to forgive the zooming traffic in front of it), it is staffed with a professional and friendly team. The management must treat the staff right since they appear cheerful,

We recently had our wedding at Sea Cliff Manor and it was fantastic! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect and we could not be happier with our choice. The first time we went there it just felt right. We had already been to numerous venues across Long Island and none of them appealed to us at all. It seemed we were visiting one "wedding factory" after another. Then, we went to Sea Cliff Manor and met Nick. He welcomed us in, showed us around and made us feel at home while he told us about the place. We immediately loved the look and vibe of the room and grounds. It felt

If I could give no stars I would! Yes, the venue is lovely but unfortunately we had to first postpone and then ultimately cancel our event. The reason for the bad review is that we were offered a refund of some of our deposit and I expected management to honor their offer. I guess after thinking about it they changed their minds. I didn't expect to be refunded all of the deposit only what was promised me. After months and months of emails and phone calls being ignored, Nick, who had been most agreeable in the past, gave me a story that I was responsible for the event even though he was able

In addition, Ian's presence, guidance, and support the day of our wedding made the day go off unhitched-- his coordination and leadership was so calming and relieving.

If you are getting married at Sea Cliff Manor , you should know the AC is broken. I went to a wedding there last night (7/14/2018) there was about 130 ppl (13 tables of 10ish) and it was SO HOT! It was very uncomfortable and felt like there were too many ppl for that venue. Additionally, the alcohol was watered down and not what it was labeled as. I am a vodka drinker and really enjoy ketel vodka. When I ordered it there it was not that for sure and it have me a head ache. I was very disappointed. My meal however was very good on a positive note.

The Sea Cliff Manor is absolutely, without a doubt, the most amazing wedding venue ever. I got married there last week and I still can't stop raving about them!!
From our initial meeting with the owner, Nick, and working with the event manager, Ian, all of the planning for our wedding was easy and seamless. I would send an email, and get a reply in no more than 15 minutes - it was amazing! And, since I planned my wedding from across the country, that kind of communication and ease of planning went a long, long way. I knew that we were in excellent and capable hands with Nick & Ian!

Sea Cliff Manor is absolutely stunning and a hidden gem. I had my Bridal Shower Brunch on a warm June afternoon and my guest and I can't stop raving about this venue overlooking the sparkling Sea Cliff harbor and mouthwatering food.
Since this was a brunch we had a magnificent spread of breakfast and lunch options. Our cocktail hour was held outside on there exquisite grounds overlooking the Sea Cliff Harbor. It was a picture perfect scenery for all of our bridal party pictures. The cocktail spread included homemade muffins, quiche pies (which were to die for), fruit platter, hummus

We got married here in December of 2012.
CONS:
When we booked it the name was Sans Souci and they changed it before our wedding, same owners and management just a different name. They promised the world to us in order to get us to book with them, and they sort of delivered on their promises (they would order a keg, order special wedding cookies- obviously for an additional cost - they also promised to give us an extra hour at the end if the party was going strong for no additional cost). Once we signed we our contract and gave our deposit we were handed over to our maître d', Merrill.
