My fairy tail come true

Better than I could have ever dreamed of! Miriam is absolutely amazing and walked me through each process with recommendations and answered my questions any time of day. Steve is beyond words! He was our maître d’ and I was absolutely blown away. We felt like royalty on our wedding day. Anything we needed, our entire timeline, helping with my dress, legitimately anything that could have been a worry was taken care of by Steve or Sam our bridal attendant. We are forever grateful for the entire staff at the Bourne Mansion not only for making our night the best wedding I could have ever imagined but for being able to work with such incredible people that I will never forget in my lifetime. Book your wedding here!

The best of Long Island

I've been photographing weddings at Bourne Mansion for almost 10 years, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the staff at Bourne Mansion. Miriam, Steve and Jake - all wonderful people who wear their heart on their sleeve.

Each wedding has ran smoother than any other wedding venue I've been to. Always on time, and the parting is always jamming! Steve takes all the time to be approachable to his couples, and provides a level of service I haven't seen at other wedding venues. He's a wonderful, big personality that I've come to really enjoy being around, and he's a staple at Bourne Mansion.

Looking forward to many more weddings here at the best wedding venue on Long Island!
