I can not express enough how incredible our experience was. The beauty of this location is absolutely unmatched. We were married in the Tuscan Garden with our cocktail hour and ceremony in the Great Hall. The photos we received so far are stunning. We are both from Staten Island, Italian American families, that are very food centric. The food was one thing we worried about, as our families tend to never be satisfied. It seems our worries were for nothing, because we are both still receiving texts and phone calls about how delicious the food was! Our parents especially continue to compliment the food. The staff is also absolutely wonderful. Carmela worked with us every step of the way to make sure our dream wedding came to fruition. Roshani, our Event Coordinator, made sure everything ran smoothly. They both made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole planning period. They were very accommodating to our needs and any last minute changes. The wait staff was perfect - another part of the wedding that guests have been raving about. I truly cannot compliment Celebrate Snug Harbor enough. Our wedding day was so special. It is a day we will never forget. 💞

From the moment you enter the gates at Celebrate at Snug Harbor, you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere completely different. The property is stunning and feels almost unreal in the best way. We chose the Tuscan Garden for our ceremony, and it was everything we hoped for—dreamy, romantic, and incredibly picturesque. The garden has a beautiful fountain, reflecting pools, and lush, vibrant greenery that made the whole setting feel like a fairytale. Our reception was in the Great Hall, which was just as impressive. The space has gorgeous tall windows, fireplaces, and plenty of room for a big dance floor. I also loved the little bench seating areas that created perfect hangout spots for guests throughout the night. During our initial tour, we were honestly blown away by how many different photo locations there are across the grounds. Every corner feels like a new backdrop, and it made us even more excited for the wedding day. We knew we were sold once we experienced how supportive and attentive the team was. Roshani, our venue coordinator, was incredible from the moment we booked through the wedding day. She stayed in close communication with us the entire time—answering questions, helping with logistics, and making sure we felt fully prepared. Everything felt organized and stress-free, which is exactly what you want. My bridal attendant, Liz, was so sweet and attentive the entire night—always by my side making sure I had food and drinks, and even helping me with my train so everything stayed perfect. The entire staff went above and beyond—from setup to teardown, the kitchen team, the wait staff, and Claudine—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. They even helped us pack everything up to take home, including food for later. At the end of the night, we even got to watch the Knicks win together, which was such a fun way to end the celebration 🙌🏻 We also had our catering through Relish Catering and the food was absolutely exceptional. Truly a highlight of the night—guests are still talking about it. It was a magical day from start to finish, and we cannot thank everyone enough for making it so seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable.

We worked with them for our Gala (Snug Harbor’s Neptune Ball) and they knocked it out of the park! Carmela, Tommy, and team kept our catering needs on time and running smoothly. The food was delicious and the menu was so well thought-out. If you decide to have your wedding (or any event) here, you will not be disappointed! Thank you for making our gala a night to remember!

Everything was perfect, and it was clear how much work and care went into every detail. A special thank you to Liz. She was incredible and took such great care of Ashley all day. Honestly, I think she followed Ashley around more than I did! She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better bridal attendant. CR, Roshani, Carm, Tommy etc all are amazing!!! Please pass along our gratitude to everyone involved, I cannot remember all the other names but amazing people! From both of us, thank you for helping make our day so special and memorable. Morgan & Ashley ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter’s Sweet 16 at Snug Harbor was absolutely beautiful and more special than we could have imagined. From the stunning atmosphere to the attentive staff and seamless service, everything about the evening was perfect. The venue created such an elegant and welcoming setting that truly made the celebration feel magical. The staff was professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process, helping everything run smoothly so our family could fully enjoy the night. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous the space was and how wonderful the event felt from beginning to end. Thank you, Snug Harbor, for helping create unforgettable memories for our daughter and our family. We are so grateful and would highly recommend this venue for any special celebration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Celebrate at Snug Harbor was nothing short of incredible, and we couldn't be happier to have had our wedding there. The staff is kind and helpful and really rooting for you the entire wedding planning journey and even provide a book for you to work through the month leading up to the big day. The tall ceilings and large windows of the Upper Great Hall are elegant and created beautiful natural lighting during our ceremony. The Lower Gallery is equally spacious and worked well for our cocktail hour, a big plus as we had over 180 guests. So many of our guests raved about the food, and one reason we booked with Celebrate was their diverse and extensive menu. They also really went above and beyond with guests' dietary restrictions and made our custom cocktail come to life! We loved that booking Celebrate also meant catering, staffing, furniture, and linens would all be arranged through one vendor. They also include a wedding coordinator (shout out to Roshani who is amazing and proactive about working with other vendors), a bridal attendant, and an assistant. While we chose to have our wedding entirely indoors, we took our photos outdoors and were grateful for the access to the Chinese Scholar's Garden. They really delivered on providing a special day.
