Reviews of the Royalton Mansion
We LOVE the Royalton Mansion so, so much. Its beauty, warmth, and delicious food knows no bounds. We couldn’t have had a more perfect venue for our wedding. Not only are the grounds beautiful, but so is the inside of the mansion. Your photos will come out beautiful no matter where they are. 3 years later, we still often hear feedback from guests about how incredible our wedding was. Mike, Amanda, and Arturo are so accommodating and truly treated us like family. We consider ourselves lucky any time we get invited to an event there. It is so special for us to get to go back throughout the year, like attending the Valentine’s Day dinner or bringing our daughter to Mother’s Day brunch. You not only get a venue for your wedding, you get one for all of the special events throughout your marriage. If anyone is on the fence about booking the Royalton- do it!!!

WOW—I truly have no words to describe how incredible the Royalton was. Our wedding was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The service, the food, and the venue completely blew us away. If you’re considering the Royalton, don’t walk—RUN to book your wedding here! My bridal assistant, Michelle, was phenomenal and supported me every step of the way on the day of the reception. Arturo was amazing and ensured everything ran seamlessly, and Michael was just as wonderful. The entire team made us feel right at home. The food was outstanding, and the Viennese hour was truly out of this world. We could not have dreamed of a more perfect experience—thank you, Royalton, for making our day unforgettable!

Michael and Arturo made our wedding dreams come true at their OUTSTANDING venue. Our guests can not stop talking about the food and the staff. Every step of the process was seamlessly communicated and executed. We highly recommend this experience to other couples! We remember searching on The Knot and seeing the remarkable reviews of this venue, wondering if they were true. We are here to say: THEY ARE! The venue is the most important decision you will make, and The Royalton is a family and a truly special place.

Best day of our lives! We just had our wedding at the Royalton and can 100% say the wedding was magical. When you think of big days like a wedding it’s hard to image getting exactly what you envisioned, but thats what the Royalton provided. the grounds at the Royalton are well maintained and stunning for views. We chose to get married at their courtyard option in front of a large antique door outside. This was a big part of our decision to chose the venue. The ceremony was super important to us and the photos speak for themselves. Aside from that the rooms are well maintained and are classy/tasteful without being too much. The bridal and grooms suites were excellent and the Royalton doesnt pull any punches as you are the only wedding of the day making the most out of the grounds you are paying for. The bridal party arrived as early as 6:45 and a light breakfast and lunch were provided. That extends to the services the staff at the Royalton, who had such attention to detail and was well proportioned for wedding size. Everything was extremely well coordinated by Micahel & Arturo. My wife especially loved her bridal attendant, Michelle, who made the day fun and stress free. All of the staff made sure to keep things flowing while actually allowed us to enjoy our wedding.
The royalton also has an amazing partnership with our vendors including barattini productions and keith from first look photo. The team came together seamlessly and really made the wedding special. Lets now the important stuff- The food. Our cocktail hour was stunning with 5 stations, each with plenty of options. My personal favorite was the jewish deli station. There were also a number of pass appetizers including but not limited to mini beef wellingtons (our favorite). The food was so good at the cocktail hour that our friends from out of state actually thought it was the dinner. One guest from PA said “we need to go to more weddings in NY.” For the the bride and groom, a private selection of the cocktail hour was provided after the ceremony. This allowed us to get some alone time after our beautiful ceremony and guaranteed that we were able to eat a bit before greeting our guests. The dinner and burrata appetizer was amazing. Particularlly the chilean sea bass was a hit easily on par with fine dining quality. Finally the dessert bar was a viennese table with espresso martinis, ice cream, choclate fondue, and many other treats. To be honest the pictures speak for themselves. The cake was included from dortoni bakery in levitown, which we were able to schedule a tasting and then the venue handled all ordered from there. As for drinks you wont go thirsty or be disappointed at the royalton, everything is top shelf and they even do a round of shots on the dance floor to get the party going. There were also never lines at the bars. I would 100% recommend the royalton, one of long islands best kept secrets!

We had our ceremony and reception last weekend at the Royalton Mansion in Roslyn, Long Island. We fell in love with the mansion about a year ago, as its very private — they do only one wedding a day there — and provides a very beautiful scenery and backdrop, both inside the mansion and outside. From Day 1, Arturo has been phenomenal and very detail-oriented, providing alot of helpful suggestions throughout the planning process, and made it very stress-free for us! Arturo was very helpful with the menu planning and food tasting leading up to the event, and helped put together a timeline of the day’s activities. We got a lot of very happy feedback about the amazing venue, great food, especially cocktail hour and the Venetian desserts. The day’s events were hectic with the photographer, officiant, DJ, florist etc. but Arturo and Mike helped make sure everything was coordinated and things went smoothly during the day. All of the staff everywhere was super friendly, patient and accommodating to all of our guests. Some folks have said this was the “best wedding” they’ve been to! Thanks again to Arturo, Mike and Michelle for making it such a special day!

“I have nothing but good things to say about the Royalton! Michael and his team gave my husband and me the wedding of our dreams! I was blown away by how meticulous the staff is when it comes to all the details and making sure everyone feels comfortable and is having a good time. Not to mention my bridal attendant Brianna who went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of along with my husband. She truly made me feel like I had nothing to worry about and all I needed to do was enjoy the party. Every time I think of our day I can’t help but smile and all this has to do with the AMAZING team at the Royalton!”

“The words “hidden gem” don’t do this place justice. Mike and Arturo guided us from the day we toured and booked The Royalton. They are amazing to work with! They took care of everything…I.e suggestions for the menu, ensuring that we had everything we need for the day and decorating the venue with our personal items. Michelle our bridal attendant was amazing. She ensured that we were taken care of and we had everything we needed. The place is beautiful and it’s one event at a time which makes you feel like you’re at home. The staff were attentive and friendly. All of our guest raved about The Royalton and the how delicious the food was. We are still getting calls weeks after our wedding complementing us on the Royalton. Can’t thank Mike, Arturo, Michelle and the Royalton staff enough for making our wedding a memorable beautiful event for us and all of our guests. Strongly recommend the Royalton!”

Exceptional! The Royalton is one of the most beautiful places to have a wedding, but its beauty pales in comparison to the staff. Mike T is an exceptional manager who addresses any and all concerns that you may have with true professionalism. His role is more of a wedding planner which enables him to customize your wedding in any way that you desire. His acute attention to detail sets him apart from all other managers that we met with. He makes sure that your day proceeds seamlessly. All of the staff from waiters, bartenders, attendants and managers, especially Arturo, are very well trained and extremely attentive, friendly and professional. All of our guests raved about the exceptional service and how much they loved the food. The food was 5 star restaurant quality from the amazing presentation to the taste. Any worries that you may have will quickly melt away knowing that all of the staff truly wants to make your experience exceptional. Everything was perfect.
Thank you to the whole staff.

“Book this venue NOW. The Royalton Mansion is a hidden gem that is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing, and the staff is so kind. We were blown away by EVERYTHING. Mike and Arturo have been amazing since the first day we stepped in the front door to tour the Royalton. They truly make you feel like family. Communication has been very clear and they made us feel right at home. From that first conversation, everything was about us. We were able to make the Royalton our dream wedding and they never said no to any idea or ask. All of our guests have said this is the best wedding they have ever been to. We have received tons of compliments on how beautiful the venue is, the variation and amount of food at cocktail hour, and how every single dinner came out hot and in a timely fashion. All of the staff was professional and cared so much. Arturo was amazing and even gave the groom his own collar stays when we realized he forgot them. Michelle (the bridal attendant) was phenomenal. She kept all 13 bridesmaids organized and fulfilled every need / ask while taking phenomenal care of the bride. She was always around taking care of everyone and was on her feet from 7 am – 11:30 pm. We couldn’t be more thankful for this incredible team. Our wedding night was everything we have dreamed of and more thanks to The Royalton”

“Our wedding at the Royalton Mansion was the absolute best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. There are simply too many good things to say here, but know that you will not find this level of professionalism and attention to detail anywhere else in the TriState area. Mike T. and his staff are experts in what they do and work seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure your day is perfection. The venue itself is timelessly elegant and the grounds are always pristine. The food is Michelin-level quality and our guests cannot stop raving about the amount of options you are given for cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert with the Viennese table. When you work with Mike T., you know you will be in the best hands. He is always patient and easy to work with. He will answer all of your questions and handle any task big or small. He is special. Booking your wedding at the Royalton Mansion means that you will not only have stunning photos, but more importantly stress-free wedding day. Mike T. and his staff take care of all the behind-the-scenes details so that you and your partner can focus on having fun and truly being in the moment. I cannot recommend this place more highly — it is a gem on Long Island and I feel so lucky to have been married here.”

“My daughter and her husband were just married at the Royalton Mansion this past Saturday night. While they are away on their honeymoon I just had to write to tell the world how exceptional our experience was. About a year ago we looked at about 15 wedding venues in the Long Island and NYC area with an emphasis on LI . We knew from the moment we met Michael this was the venue for us because we were so comfortable with him. He completely put us at ease and eliminated all worries. I could tell that he was detail oriented, very experienced and a true professional. I was confident he would deliver a smooth care free wedding experience and he made my daughter and fiance calm from that first meeting. Over the year the team helped guide the bride and groom over the many details and decisions needed to create my daughter’s dream day. At the end of the day my reaction was everything was just perfect. I would not change a thing. The grounds were colorful for a fall day. We got hundreds of happy family photos and video. Pre wedding the family was taken care of with food and comfortable bride, groom and family rooms. Michele, our daughters personal attendant took care of all of the bridal suite guests needs and made my amazingly calm daughter even calmer. The wedding ceremony was magical- with every detail my daughter had imagined coming to life. The cocktail hour was bright and lively with so much food and top shelf liquor. Guests raved about the quantity and quality of the sushi, the amount of food, the variety of the food etc. The service, the food quality , friendliness and attention of the staff all were great. I have some discerning friends who know quality and I heard rave reviews all around. Everyone’s expectations were exceeded. The Royalton is a charming, well maintained 1920’s mansion and Michael and his team truly make you feel like it is your home and everyone is trained to make sure everyone, not just the bride, is happy. I will never forget seeing my daughter smiling, happy, enjoying her day. I could not have asked for a better day and I will cherish seeing them so happy and appreciative of the love they were showered with on their day. I am glad I only have one daughter because I could not top this day. If you are looking for a venue, you will not find a better place. Signed father of the bride.”

“10/10 Mike and his team were amazing! They were extremely accommodating from start to finish. They really do make you feel like family. We did a tasting before we booked, which sealed the deal for us in booking The Royalton for our wedding venue; the food was incredible. Leading up to the wedding, Mike helped us create our menu and was generous and honest. The amount and quality of food surpassed our expectations, and that of our guests. When we arrived to The Royalton on our wedding day, we were welcomed by Arturo and Michelle. They brought us up to the bridal suite where they served us some light bites. We felt right at home and comfortable in their hands. They made sure that we had everything we needed the whole night. I would highly recommend The Royalton!!”
