    Great day!

    We loved our wedding at Snug Harbor. Josephine & Jessica were thorough and very professional taking away a lot of the stress and anxiety that comes with a wedding day. We had two in person meetings, one in the beginning and one shortly before the wedding, and constant email contact. They made sure to have every single detail that was needed for the big day. We ran into 0 problems the day of the wedding (not that we know of at least, which is even nicer) thanks to them. Our bridal attendant the day of, Alva, was an angel. She helped me cheer up about the rain “ruining” the day. She was incredibly helpful when we were getting our pictures done making sure to have umbrellas for us and helping me hold my dress to make sure it didn’t get wet or dirty. The day went smoothly with little worry on our end thanks to the team at Snug Harbor. I would talk more on the grounds but I feel like that beauty speaks for itself.

    Perfect Venue for Bride on a Budget

    My husband and I were in search of a venue that had the following:
    -didn’t require a headcount over 100
    -under $225 per person
    -cocktail hour and open bar
    -on Staten Island
    -an indoor/outdoor feel
    -allowed to bring our own vendors
    -not a fancy fancy big hall

    The tented pavilion fit our needs perfectly! We were able to do a Sunday wedding on a holiday weekend with 75 people. The space was and indoor outdoor feel, with the availability to bring our own vendors and customize the event as much as possible.

    PROS:
    Super affordable - We were do our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all inside the tent for 75 people and the total cost was around $15,000.
    UNBELIEVABLE food & drinks - we were able to customize our menu options and the food was out of this world. Super plentiful, and we incredible presentation! Our guests couldnt stop raving about it.
    AMAZING staff- Jessica and Josephine are incredible coordinators who guided me through every single step in the process. So responsive and helpful. The wait staff was spot on with super fast and attentive service. Our guests were soo happy!!
    Lots of perks are included - wedding cake from Palermos bakery (best cake we ever had!! Our guests loved it!), signature drink, valet parking, free vendor meals if using their reccomendations, getting ready suites, day of coordinator, bridal attendant, company is willing to help with simple signage, menus etc.

    CONS-
    The venue need some updates - even after verifying prior, the concrete floor of the tent was not power washed. My wedding dress was black with dirt by the time I walked down the aisle to the alter. The floor was so dirty, I had to throw out my white wedding shoes after (they were also black with dirt) Also, the benches were not cleaned prior, which was disappointing.
    No valet - Valet is supposedly included, however they were no where to be found the day of my wedding. My guest knew where to park, but there was no valet or personnel to guide them where to go. There were no signage as promised to tell people where our event was, everyone got lost.
    Leaking bathroom- the bathrooms are like campsite bathrooms, very dated but we were okay with them. The weekend of our wedding poured and the room by the bathroom was completely FLOODED, water leaking from the ceiling and flooding the floors. It was unusable, and looked terrible considering it was part of the venue space, and we couldn’t put any decor in there. It was a blank empty wet room the entire night.
    Staff attire- Although the staff was incredible, their attire lacked professionalism. Key staff persons that were consistently in my photos or on the floor infront of our guests were in sneakers, one in a bright yellow sweatsuit, wearing a tshirt. This wasn’t a dealbreaker to me, but something that may discourage other brides on their formal wedding day.
    Set up - I was a DIY bride but keep in mind that this venue does not help set up any decor. You will need to have vendors come and set up, and if anything is brought beforehand you need to trek your items to the tent.

    Our wedding was the BEST DAY EVER!!!! Regardless of the rainy weather and the cons mentioned above, we simply had the most perfect day ever! Thank you to Celebrate staff for making it so special.

    Beautiful garden venue with lots of history, great value for NYC

    We loved our experience getting married at Snug Harbor. The team is so accommodating, the food was fantastic, and the venue is beautiful. It's great value for an NYC wedding. They have a lot of space and resources at hand, like a golf cart to take you around. Would recommend!

    Amazing experience!

    One of the best (if not the best!) decisions we made in our wedding planning process was to work with Celebrate at Snug Harbor! Josephine and Jessica were so wonderful, responsive, and supportive to work with - I truly couldn't have asked for a better team. On the wedding day, they were so efficient and got everything to run smoothly and on schedule. Our guests were awestruck by how gorgeous the venue is, and we received many compliments about the food, especially the incredible cocktail hour options! I am so happy we worked with Josephine and Jessica, and I couldn't recommend this place highly enough for a wedding or a special event!

    Amazing Venue!

    My husband and I got married at Snug Harbor in June 2023, and I honestly can't say enough positive things about our experience. First of all, the venue is absolutely beautiful. We had our ceremony in the Tuscan Garden, so I was able to live out some fantasies of an Italian wedding while still being in NYC, our cocktail hour in the Chinese Scholar Garden, and the reception in the Tented Pavilion. We got so many comments from our guests about how gorgeous the venue was, and truly unlike anything other place we've seen. It felt like we were really out of the city, while still being convenient for many of our guests. Apart from how beautiful it is, we worked with Jessica and Josephine throughout the process, and they were so helpful in answering all of our questions, and making me feel more relaxed during the process. On the day of, Jessica was absolutely incredible at handling logistics and making sure everything ran smoothly. We didn't use a wedding planner, but honestly between their help and the list of preferred vendors (all of whom were fantastic) it was really not necessary. Last but not least, the food! I had at least 10+ specifically reach out to comment on how good the food was. That wasn't something I was expecting from a venue that was all inclusive, but it was really super high quality and delicious. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience, and if you are looking for an easy and smooth experience, and if you want to get married in NYC but feel like you are in the country, Snug Harbor is the perfect spot.

    The Shining Gem of Staten Island

    Celebrate Snug Harbor was an absolutely beautiful venue to have my wedding. My wife and I selected the package where our ceremony was hosted outside in the garden followed by a cocktail hour in a chinese scholars garden which was both unique and beautiful. We were concerned about having an outdoor wedding in the beginning of october but the entire time the staff and planners assured us about all the preparation that went into making sure we had a seamless wedding. I cannot recommend the staff enough for how attentive they were the day of and assisting my wife and I with making sure things were going according to plan and making sure we were fed because its so easy to forget to eat on your wedding day! Snug Harbor is the shining gem of Staten Island and absolutely worth getting married at.

    Perfect wedding day

    Celebrate at Snug Harbor was the perfect venue for our wedding. We wanted the venue to be in New York City for convenience, but didn’t want to be in a “wedding venue”.

    We immediately fell in love with the gardens and grounds of Snug Harbor. We decided on an outdoor ceremony and outdoor cocktail party. When the sun went down we moved inside for The Great Hall for dinner and dancing.

    I can’t say enough good things about the planners and staff. Guests are still complimenting our wedding day. The food was incredible and the staff were professional. We had a lot of specific food asks and allergies, they accommodated everyone.

    We loved Sydney our Bridal Attendant and Jessica the Event Planner. Both went above any beyond to make our day perfect.

    Magical Venue!

    We couldn't have been happier with choosing to have our wedding at Celebrate at Snug Harbor! When we first toured the venue, we immediately fell in love with the variety of beautiful and unique spaces on the garden grounds, from the Chinese Scholar's Garden (where we held our ceremony!) to the stunning Tuscan Garden. On our wedding day, Jessica and her team did a fantastic job in making sure everything ran smoothly and making our vision come to life. We were also blown away by the quality and presentation of the food; our guests raved about how delicious everything was! Our wedding was a dream come true, and we're so grateful that Snug Harbor gave us the opportunity to make it happen :)

    A Garden Wedding in NYC

    We were engaged in September 2021 and were married in September of 2022. We were planning a 2023 wedding, but when discovered Snug Harbor on a day trip excursion, we were immediately taken with the beauty of the grounds and rushed to start planning.

    Jessica and Josephine were incredible to work with. We planned every detail of the wedding in 3 months! Chef Mark created a custom menu to blend traditional "Jewish" foods with traditional "Italian" foods to review reviews.
    Our guests kept commenting on how great the food was, how beautiful the Tuscan Garden was and how our wedding was " the best" wedding they had gone to all summer.

    We felt special and taken care of every step of the way. Celebrate made out dreams come true.

    Amazing beyond words!

    We had my daughter’s wedding at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center on August 29 2020. The Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden has the most amazing grounds. It is a real hidden gem on Staten Island’s north shore and one of the prettiest places in NYC. The ceremony took place in the Tuscan Garden and the dinner reception was held at the tented Pavilion.
    As you can imagine, it was not easy to organize and implement a wedding in the year of COVID-19. But the professional team of event planners at Celebrate at Snug Harbor went above and beyond to make this event unfold seamlessly. They provided impeccable services from the beginning of the wedding to the final moment including the wedding planner, coordinator, bridal attendant, and food catering services.
    Special thanks to David N.S. Woods, Managing Director of Celebrate who helped organize the event according to the strict guidelines of NY state and NYC COVID 19 for social distancing and proper screening -- making all of the guests feel very comfortable and safe during the event.
    My daughter’s wedding specialist, John R. Ianniello Jr., was the most attentive, knowledgeable, and personable coordinator I could ever wish for. He was a key figure in planning and implementing this event and made himself available to me at all times. He guided my daughter through the entire wedding preparation experience and by the end of the event, became a very close friend. John’s experience and knowledge was a key element in preparing for the most important event in our daughter’s life.
    My guests were all raving about the wedding. Everyone had a fantastic time, calling the wedding the highlight of 2020. They said it was the most beautiful, classy, and spectacular wedding they ever attended. Special thanks to Relish Catering and Hospitality Food services -- the dishes they served were so delectable we had guests inquiring about the event's caterers all evening long.
    Douglas James Entertainment was the most talented Master of Ceremonies and he led a group of musicians with incredible voices, energy, and instrumental skills. Douglas was able to bring together Russian, American and Jewish guests with his personal charisma and team's talent -- providing music that appealed to everyone’s cultural tastes and ensuring a most memorable experience for everyone at the party.
    If you want to have a dream wedding, I highly recommend Celebrate at Snug harbor, Douglas James entertainment, flowers by In Flowers NYC, Julian Ribinik Photography, and videography by Ray Estrada Films. They made my daughter’s wedding perfect and I’m sure they will do the same for you.

    We highly recommend Celebrate at Snug Harbor.

    As a floral design company, we have had the privilege of working on numerous weddings at Celebrate at Snug Harbor, and I am excited to share my experience. I would like to give special thanks to Josephine and Jessica, who have been incredibly helpful and made our work smoother and more organized. In a venue like Celebrate at Snug Harbor, which boasts multiple gardens, effective internal teamwork, and communication are essential for every event.

    Celebrate at Snug Harbor has a unique and enchanting natural countryside feel. It stands out from other venues, and you can easily tell why many couples love this place. The entire venue offers numerous picturesque spots, which is a significant plus for both guests and newlyweds.

    Over the past year, we have worked on wedding ceremonies in the White Garden and the Tuscan Garden. The White Garden features a vast and stunning lawn, while the Tuscan Garden has a touch of classical architectural design. The fountain in the Tuscan Garden leaves a lasting impression on guests.

    Let's talk about the Chinese Scholar Garden, which is the only Chinese-themed garden in New York. It is perfect for couples who appreciate Chinese culture. Cocktail hours are usually held there, and the designated vendor, Relish Catering, provides food and services.

    The Tented Pavilion serves as the primary reception venue. The food and tableware are all provided by Relish Catering. They pay great attention to detail when it comes to table settings and culinary presentations.

    In conclusion, we highly recommend Celebrate at Snug Harbor. The attentive and dedicated staff, along with the stunning and uniquely styled venue, are truly impeccable. When you look back at the photographer's pictures, you will know that everything was absolutely worth it.

    Fairytale Come True

    We actually didn't know about Celebrate at Snug Harbor when we first started venue shopping. We stumbled across their site when looking for an all outdoor venue in response to COVID. After connecting with John, and the rest of the team, we wonder why we didn't book with them in the first place. They made the planning progress was so easy which was such a relief as our initial plans were already thrown out the window. With Celebrate, they made me not just feel, but believe we were planning my wedding like any other year. The response we received from Celebrate were almost immediate, and they were genuinely will to work with us. If anything, we feel terrible we pestered them so much! Nevertheless, the team was amazingly attentive and never bothered by our barrage of questions and concerns. This is more than I can say for our original venue who never reached out to contact us even once at the beginning of quarantine orders nor even after social gathering limits were imposed.
    Even though incredible safety measures were put in place in response to the pandemic, it honestly did not feel like we were in one once the day began. We can only attribute this to the wonderful care, attention to detail, and genuine desire to be present to support us the team demonstrated. Shelby and John helped us (especially me) stay relaxed which is not an easy thing to do and knowing there was a whole team of members (sincerest apologies for not remembering all your names) behind them to support gave us the confidence to know our wedding was going to be a night to remember; pandemic or not.
    With hands tied, the team at Celebrate were able to pull off everything we wanted, and the whole event came out better than we expected.
    We have nothing but love for the people at Celebrate, and so grateful we had the opportunity to share our special day with them.

    Celebrate at Snug Harbor's reply:

    Dear Samantha,

    More than anything, we want our couples to have a stellar experience at Celebrate Snug Harbor. We are so grateful that everything surpassed your expectations for your wedding day. We know this is a very difficult time to navigate a wedding during a pandemic. Thank you so much for choosing Celebrate Snug Harbor and for giving us the joy and pleasure of hosting a magical day for all. We can't wait to see all the photos from the wedding! Wishing you and your family a lifetime of happiness, love, and good health.

    Our Long-awaited Day was Amazing!

    We had our dream wedding last week and it was better than we could have ever imagined! We began planning our dream wedding in June 2019 by meeting with Erin for a tour and we left that same day booking our wedding. Despite delays and new restrictions due to COVID, Erin was with us every step of the way. Our countless questions were answered and always in a timely and reassuring manner.

    We attended a beautiful menu tasting to help us decide on our cocktail hour and reception options. We also had a very specific request of cutting a pizza instead of a wedding cake and Celebrate made this dream a reality. They made a pizza inspired by our favorites and not only was it delicious, but our guests absolutely loved the idea. The food for our cocktail hour and reception was full of variety, unique, and delicious. We loved the fact that they didn't offer your typical "catering hall" options. The drinks (especially our signature drinks) were excellent. They were also very accomodating in terms of the food allergies and dietary restrictions of our guests.

    As the date approached, we met with Erin and Jessica to plan the day of details. We were provided with helpful guides and easy-to-fill-out forms to cover every aspect of our wedding.

    The day of, we had Erin, Jessica, and Shelby (our bridal attendant), assisting not only me and my husband, but all of our bridal party, family, friends, and guests. The staff was so accomodating, kind, and helpful to everyone they interacted with.

    We had such a positive experience from start to finish and I cannot recommend them enough! It was such a relief knowing that we had an amazing team of people there to support us along our wedding planning journey and to make sure we got to enjoy every minute of our special day.

    Celebrate Snug

    We were first drawn to the Chinese Scholar Garden - which served as the most gorgeous backdrop for our tea ceremony and cocktail hour - but we ended up choosing Celebrate Snug for the range of beautiful outdoor locations for photos and our ceremony/reception. Plus, the price point was right for us. We held our wedding ceremony in the White Garden and reception in the Tented Pavilion, and everything flowed well on our big day. Catering worked with us over two separate tastings to ensure we arrived at a menu that we really liked. A big shout out to Erin O'Keefe who is the best person to work with - we can't imagine having gone through the wedding planning process without her! She took the time to get to know us as a couple and was super organized, responsive, thoughtful, kind and fun. Thank you, Celebrate Snug!

    Fantastic wedding!

    I had my wedding here on 9/11/21 and it was magical. Erin was my event coordinator and she is a gift from wedding heaven. From the very beginning celebrate at Snug Harbor made sure to be attentive to myself and my husbands needs, wants and desires. The team was professional and punctual. Erin is the sweetest most hardworking woman and made sure that I felt calm and satisfied throughout the entire process from day 1 until my wedding day. She is extremely calming, reassuring and on point! The food was incredible and my guests were raving about the décor, ambiance, and staff service. 5 stars for Erin and the Celebrate at Snug Harbor Team. My wedding day went off without a hitch and it was incredible.

    A unique and idyllic setting

    Snug Harbor was terrific in their attention to detail. We didn't have to hire a wedding planner. John and Theresa took care of everything. Our guests loved the Chinese Scholar's Garden. It was a magical setting. The food was excellent and plentiful. We couldn't be happier. Guests were raving about it.

    Perfect Day with Celebrate at Snug Harbor

    Erin the Snug team were amazing to work with. Even with juggling changing COVID-19 protocols, the planning process was a breeze with Erin always having our backs.

    I've never seen a more gorgeous venue. The grounds are stunning and there's almost too many places to choose for photos! Shelby, our bridal attendant was AMAZING. She was always right where we needed her, kept us on track, and saved me from a couple bustle and blister emergencies!

    100% recommend Celebrate at Snug Harbor and the wonderful team there.

    Erin was fantastic and the place is beautiful!

    I had my bridal shower at Celebrate at Snug Harbor. Our coordinator was Erin. She was so helpful and truly went above and beyond for us! First my shower had to be postponed due to COVID. Erin worked with my mom and I to help us get a new date that we liked and was readily available to help us at all times. She sent pictures of outdoor spaces and indoors. The staff was so nice and curteous. One of my gift boxes broke during the shower and a server went and found glue to help put it back together! All the staff was friendly and polite from the valet men to the bathroom attendant. The food was AMAZING and the venue is beautiful. All my guests told me how pretty the place was and how good the food was. Definitely book them for your event you won''t regret it!

    5 star!!! The best of the best!

    I don't know where to begin in describing the excellence of Celebrate at Snug Harbor. There are not enough good things to say about it. We truly felt that it was a once in a lifetime experience, and the most special day of our lives. And that did not happen by chance. It was due to the incredible hard work and superior service provided by everyone with Celebrate at Snug Harbor. Most of all, we would like to shout out Erin. You truly don't need a wedding planner when you have Erin at your service. She made every request possible, and was the most helpful resource and guided us throughout every detail of the process. Not to mention she is an absolute pleasure to work with. We were still able to have a joyful experience planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic due to the professionalism and elite service from Celebrate at Snug Harbor. We knew that no matter what happened, they would make sure we had the best day.

    On to the day itself, the food was incredible! The cocktail hour garden and reception room were stunning. They spent extra time, went above and beyond, to print menus and signage that matched our theme and decor. The service that they provided my husband and me, as well as our guests, was world class.

    I could go on and on, but all this to say, you will be so happy to have chosen Celebrate at Snug Harbor as your wedding venue. It is the most beautiful site, and a flawless experience end to end.

    John Ianello @ Snug Harbor

    John Ianello was absolutely the best event planner we could have worked with! Professional, reliable, gentle, accommodating, flexible- all around fantastic. Even during Covid, he took the time to check in, and made sure we got the date and space we wanted. He went beyond the call of duty to be present for us and help us with all of our needs. Highly recommend!!

    Dream Come True

    Originally, June 18th was supposed to be my bridal shower at Snug Harbor, but we changed wedding venues and instead of having my shower, we had our wedding there. Best decision we ever made. Erin was nothing but exceptional throughout our entire planning process, also one of the main reasons we decided to switch venues. She was attentive, responded quickly and helped us with many decisions to make our night better than we can ever imagine. For a 180 person wedding, there as never a server not in site and someone was always available to attend to everyone's needs, no to mention our bridal attendant who exceeded expectations as well. Erin and her team went above and beyond to make everything go as smooth and seamless as possible for us. It's been over a week and we are still receiving texts and phone calls how beautiful everything was, how amazing the staff was and how delicious the food was. We cannot thank the Celebrate family enough for making our magical night such an unforgettable one.
