Reviews of the Royalton On The Greens
If I can give the Royalton on the Greens a million stars I would. I had my wedding here August of 2024 and it was absolutely incredible, stunning, amazing, all of the above. My husband and I looked at about 8-10 venues and the Royalton was the last on our list. As soon as we sat down with Rachel and she started talking about the venue my husband and I looked at each other with the biggest smiles and we knew from that moment that this was the place we would celebrate our wedding. Rachel is extremely experienced in the industry and she answered all of our questions with patience, while also adding to our ideas from her experience with wedding’s at the Royalton. Rachel guided us throughout the whole process as it can be overwhelming, but she was so reassuring and even gave us her her personal cellphone number in case we thought of anything we needed answers for. She was there from day one, had great insight, and is willing to go above and beyond for her couples. Truly has a unparallel passion for her job. SHE IS AMAZING. Planning a wedding in general can be overwhelming at times, but the staff at the Royalton was truly unmatched making it so easy for us. ( Also, one wedding at a time, which is HUGE!!!) Jorge is the general manager there and let’s just say he is another reason we had the best wedding ever (according to our guests and my husband and I). When we met Jorge he presented himself with so much warm, professionalism, and calmness. He is another experienced jack of all trades, as he helped us with everything we needed along the way. Jorge sat down with us and we customized our COMPLETE menu from cocktail hour, reception, and desert, which the majority of venues do NOT do. Jorge was able to help us create this wonderful and balanced menu again from top to bottom not only saying what he recommends, but also getting to know us as a couple and seeing what would suit us and our guests. Jorge was even able to accommodate a special recipe that my husband and I make for our friends and family and have it at cocktail hour. AGAIN, what venue does this…Jorge was there from the beginning, middle, and end. Jorge helped us with the floor plan, using his expertise on what would work well, and also scheduling us for last minute appointments to help us calm our (small) nerves answering more questions we might have had. He was there the day of our wedding making sure everything ran smoothly, coordinating the whole party, giving vendors direction, and by the end of the night everyone noticed Jorge as he made everything so special. You don’t need a wedding planner, because he might as well be it alongside Rachel! Chef Mike was also a huge factor into choosing the Royalton. We are big foodie people and the food was UNREAL. There was absolutely so much food, and it was all warm, fresh, and had attention to detail. Our cocktail hour had people rolling into reception, and our friends and family are still calling me saying if we can go back and just eat there for dinner. We met Chef Mike on a couple occasions, and he was so special saying hello to us and getting to know the couples. They truly put so much work and effort into making your day so special and last, but not least Aldo and Paola were also part of the staff who made our day run SO smoothly. Their warm personalities, expertise, and ability to make sure everything is in order was appreciated. It felt so nice not having to think, because they took care of it all. My sister in law’s heel was completely broken, and I still don’t know how she did it, but Paola fixed it and my sister in law danced the whole night away in the heels. They were there for everything we needed even before you knew you needed it. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is and how special it is to us. Again, the staff was incredible, the food was amazing, the drinks were flowing. Our wedding was night to remember, and everyone is so calm and walk you through everything. Again, please book this place you won’t regret it!!!

“I honestly don’t even know where to start with The Royalton on the Greens! This place is such a hidden gem and my wedding was an absolute dream! The Royalton on the Greens is unbelievable-The venue itself, the food, the staff, the service, the atmosphere, the bridal suite- everything! I got ready in their brand new bridal suite and my getting-ready photos are amazing! And they fed us all morning. The best part is they only have one wedding per day, and you have access to the grounds for the entire day. So many venues told us we could only take photos two hours prior, so being at The Greens all day was amazing to us. And it really makes you feel so special watching them setup for just your event. And the grounds? Stunning! Our wedding photos are so beautiful, I cannot get enough of the ones at the bridge. And I have to say, Rachel and Jorge are an absolute dream team to work with! Rachel is not just their coordinator but so much more. She is your day-of coordinator, content creator, therapist, wedding planner, friend and hype girl- she’s incredible. I have never met any venue coordinator more involved than her. On my wedding day she actually took so many photos and videos and sent them to me the next day. It was such a nice surprise to have those memories and see so much of what I didn’t get to! And Heather, the bridal attendant- also a dream. I dropped everything off in the bridal suite the day before my wedding and hung my dress and all the bridesmaid’s pjs, and they steamed everything for me. I swear I didn’t lift a finger. Heather and Rachel were right at my side all day, holding my veil, bustling my dress.. I was so grateful for them. Trust me you do not need a day-of coordinator or content-creator if you book here. Save your money! And one of my favorite parts is that we got to actually CREATE our entire menu! Jorge literally said, “when you go out to dinner, pay attention to the meals you love and bring them here to create your menu.” I mean, how fun is that! It was such a nice way to incorporate our taste and add some fancier dishes to our menu. We had so much fun sitting with Jorge and listening to the way he pairs food so creatively and differently than most places. And the food tasting was such a nice date night and got us so excited for the big day. On the day of our wedding, Jorge and Aldo made sure everything was setup beautifully and perfectly. I felt like I had a whole squad taking care of us. And honestly, so many guests complimented the service and felt like they had their own personal server. No one had an empty drink in hand. And let me tell you about the cocktail hour! The room is like an old study meets cigar lounge. It’s what originally sold me as soon as I saw it. My favorite part- I wanted a margarita station with the Mexican table and Jorge made it happen. Our guests LOVED it. And everyone loved the food, no one left hungry. SO. MUCH. FOOD. If you have a big Italian family, trust me this is your place! They put a grill outside on the balcony and grilled kabobs! Talk of the town with our guests. And the chef is incredible. People are still raving about the entire night which is so nice to hear. I absolutely loved everything about my wedding day and cannot recommend the Greens enough. Rachel and Jorge really make you feel like family there and when you’re spending so much money, it’s so important to love who you’re working with. And we truly did!!”

“Royalton on the Greens or nowhere! We couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Royalton on the Greens is the best kept secret on Long Island. Jorge was awesome to work with, extremely flexible, and fulfilled any of our crazy demands we had. We enjoyed customizing our food menu for cocktail hour and dinner, there were no preset options limiting us. Guests were overwhelmed and overjoyed by the cocktail hour and some even thought it was dinner. On wedding day the girls were able to arrive early in the morning for breakfast and to start getting ready in the beautiful bridal suite. The guys arrived for lunch in the green room on the lower floor so there was no stress about running into each other. We loved being able to spend the entire day at Royalton on the Greens. Jorge stayed on top of everything and communicated with all the vendors on the day of. He even extended our cocktail hour on the spot so that we had time to enjoy it. Jorge effortlessly took on all of the stress for us, and gave us the best night we could have asked for. We hope to be guests at a wedding there one day.”

“We had our weekend here last weekend at it was truly the best experience. Jorge and his team are beyond attentive and run the whole day and night so smoothly.

My husband and I had our wedding here Saturday March 23,2024 and Jorge did everything and more to make it the wedding of our dreams.

“Had my wedding here in September 2023. The food was excellent and all the staff were very attentive. Great to be able to get ready at the venue, they even provided lunch. Jorge made all the difference, he’s great at what he does”

“The Royalton on the Greens made our special day everything we could have imagined and more! We worked with Rachel and Jorge from the first day we visited. They are both amazing and extremely talented with great visions and ideas. The experience of creating our dream wedding was seamless. We were able to customize everything from the food to the floor plan with the help of Rachel and Jorge. Would recommend this venue for anyone looking to have an amazing night to remember.”

My bridal attendant Heather was so helpful all day and night with whatever we needed. The food was amazing and the grounds are beautiful. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a venue on LI”

“THE MOST INCREDIBLE WEDDING DAY! From the wedding planning process to the days leading up to the day of until the very end of the night, we had the best experience working with the Royalton on the Greens team. We had actually booked a different venue a year prior, and when the caterer for that venue was fired, we had to go look for a new venue. We found the Royalton on the Greens because my sister got married at the Royalton in Roslyn a few years prior. The GM at Roslyn, Michael T, was super helpful and sent us over there as they had more capacity for the size of my wedding. Jorge, the GM at the Greens, took our last-minute meeting, and it didn’t take long for us to fall in love with him and the venue! Being one of the most stressful situations during the wedding planning process, everything was eased, and we felt taken care of. Jorge is extremely experienced, and it shows. He is super knowledgeable about the wedding industry and how to run a good party. It made it so easy just to trust him, knowing we were in good hands. Any issue we had, he faced it head-on and immediately made adjustments to resolve them. He also has a super cool/calm presence, and for an anxious bride, that was SUPER helpful. From the beginning of the day to the very end, the bridal attendants, Paula and Heather, were on top of everything and were always there when I or anyone else in my bridal party needed them! Paula was consistently feeding me water at the beginning of the night and replenishing both our drinks without us having to ask during the party. Not to mention, they are both the nicest people, and they made me feel extremely calm! Dion was excellent with my husband and his groomsmen. He was extremely helpful throughout the day, assisting with the tuxes and never too far if someone needed something. All our guests have continued to rave about the night, telling us how fantastic the night was and even mentioning how great the food was across the board and that the staff was very attentive! This place is a hidden gem! If you are looking for a beautiful venue with a staff that knows how to put on a great wedding, look no further!!”

“This venue is hands down amazing. From the beginning we knew this was it. We saw two other venues before. It is truly a hidden gem. Rachel was the first person we met with. She answered all of our questions and insisted on texting her for further questions. The planning process was so smooth. Rachel helped with figuring out the flower arrangements. She basically acted as a wedding planner, so we didn’t end up hiring one. She gave amazing advice and was there every step of the way. Rachel and Aldo helped create a timeline for us. Rachel also took pictures throughout the day so I had some behind the scenes pictures of the first look and ceremony. Jorge was the other person we worked with. He was amazing behind the scenes and made sure everything ran smoothly. Aldo helped with the food and made sure everything was what we wanted. We were able to completely create a custom menu instead of picking from a list of options. We even had a crepe station at cocktail hour! Heather was my bridal attendant and she helped with whatever I needed. She made sure we ate after the ceremony and kept fixing my bouquet and bustle when it broke. The only regret I have is that we didn’t get the leftover food to take home. But you can’t go wrong with this venue. You will be in good hands!”

“This place is a hidden gem!!! The venue and greens are extremely beautiful!!! Leading up to our wedding day, Jorge and Rachel were SO attentive- answering every email/call and any question we had! They were so easy to work with and made the planning process and figuring out all the finer details extremely effortless! On the day of at the venue, they along with Aldo, carefully watched the weather, and helped decide to go with the outdoor ceremony that we had. They were by our sides the entire day making our dream come to a reality!”

“I cannot say enough great things about this venue. My mom happened to find this venue as she was driving in Melville and stopped in. Rachel was kind enough to talk with her without a scheduled appointment. My mom had such great things to say about it so I flew home from DC to come look at it. It’s exactly what I wanted – modern and elegant, and a lot more updated than other venues. Jorge and Rachel were able to accommodate us for visits and scheduling since I only had limited weekends I could come up from DC. They are the kindest people in the business. We sat down with Jorge to create our menu, which was such a fun and collaborative experience – and the food was endless. Half of my wedding guests were coming out of state and were looking forward to a “Long Island Wedding” and they got it! All of our guests were talking about how delicious the food was, a couple of guests even thought the cocktail hour was our dinner because there was so much food! Aldo, the maitre d was the absolute best – the kind of guy you put your full trust in. He kept the wedding running so smoothly, if there was an issue, I had no clue about it. Aldo, Rachel, and Jorge are so professional, I never had to question anything during the day because I knew everything was being taken care of. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Paula – my bridal attendant. She was so kind and patient with me, even during times I was so stressed. I had the best night of my life, and I couldn’t have done it without Rachel, Jorge, Paula, and Aldo – they made my dreams come true! I would recommend The Royalton in Melville over and over.”

“The absolute best decision we made was having our wedding at The Royalton on the Greens in Melville. My husband and I had taken a break from the venue search because it was so overwhelming, and The Greens were the first place we looked when we got back into it. From the second we walked in, we knew this place was different. We immediately felt accommodated and that they would do anything they could to make our event special to our relationship. We loved the place so much we cancelled our other tours for the day! We got to work very closely with Rachel, and she helped with everything we needed. When we first toured the venue it was February 2023, and we booked our date for June 2023, so it is safe to say I was overwhelmed! Rachel assured me that it was possible to host a beautiful wedding in that time frame, and she made sure we had whatever we needed to make it happen. She gave us her phone number to text/call whenever we needed, and she would reply within minutes – sometimes within seconds! That was amazing to have in moments of stress. Rachel was always there with advice and suggestions. We knew she cared so much about us and making our wedding magical. Our guests cannot stop raving about the food! Such a cool part about having our wedding here was getting to create the menu, and not just choosing from a list of basic entrees. Anything we wanted, they told us they could make. It gave us the chance to be creative in making a menu unique to what we like. On the day of the wedding all of the staff did everything in their power to make our event run smoothly. Paola, the bridal attendant, was there for me all day, helping me with things I didn’t even think of! Rachel was taking pictures and videos, which were so beautiful to look back on the next day. There was a possibility of rain that day, and Jorge let us wait until the last possible minute to decide about our ceremony location. The Royalton on the Greens was a beautiful hidden gem. My husband and I had our dream wedding and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience!”

“Royalton on the Greens was an absolute dream venue, with an amazing team to match. My fiancé and I planned our wedding in 6 months, while also living out of state. If it wasn’t for Rachel I don’t know how we could’ve done it. She was available at all hours through email, call, AND text. She helped me set reminders every step of the way, and thinking of things that never crossed my mind. She was also amazing about setting appointments, (especially since we live in South Carolina) she was super flexible about making room for us to meet when we were back in NY, and made it easier and as stress-free as possible. The Royalton also lets you create your own menu! (cocktail hour and dinner entrees). I think this is super unique and an absolutely amazing experience. Jorge and Rachel helped us create AND design the menu as well. Jorge was amazing with food recs. he was very confident and knowledgeable about everything they served..not to mention it was delicious! Rachel had great recommendations for flowers and lighting in the ballroom. Planning a wedding in 6months sounds crazy, but Rachel made it one of the easiest things I’ve ever done. I trusted her with everything, and she followed through with texts and emails at almost all hours of the day. I had no worries about this venue, especially ON my wedding day. I knew it was going to look absolutely stunning and everything we talked about…and Rachel totally kept her word, and everything looked PERFECT! So many guests approached us saying how gorgeous the venue was and how they couldn’t believe they had never been there before; it was amazing! I could not recommend this venue enough!!”
