Best night of my life!
My husband and I had our wedding at the Pavilion at Sunken Meadow on 7/6/24 and we cannot say enough incredible things about this venue. From our initial tour of the venue to our wedding day, Tarek was there to address every question and concern and to make sure the planning process was going smoothly. We did the package (which included the DJ, photographer, florist, transportation, and cake) which made planning so much easier and we and were so happy with each and every vendor. On the actual wedding day, Sabrina (our bridal attendant) and Anthony (our maitre d') took care of us completely. Sabrina did everything from serving lunch in the bridal suite, to finding and setting up a speaker for getting ready music, to helping me with my (complicated) bustle, to getting my new-husband and I hors d'oeuvres from the cocktail our in the bridal suite immediately after the ceremony, to making sure we actually ate our dinners during the reception, and so so much more. Anthony made sure the entire event ran smoothly and was there for us with whatever we (and our families) needed. The venue itself was beyond beautiful. We absolutely loved our beachfront ceremony and the floor-to-ceiling windows that gave us incredible views of the Long Island Sound all night. Our guests loved being able to make use of the outdoor boardwalk area throughout the reception. The food from the cocktail hour and the main dinner were both so good (and we got compliments from our guests about how good the food was)! If you are looking for a beautiful and unique wedding venue on Long Island, look no further than the Pavilion at Sunken Meadow!

Amazing wedding
I want to start by saying that this venue, food and staff were by far beyond my expectations. Even as a crazy bride 😊. Tarek, made me and my husband feel at ease with the whole entire wedding planning process. He held our hand every step of the way and made it really simple for us. I know a lot of reception managers will promise you the world and not deliver. Not Tarek, he made every single thing come true and then some. The day before I met with my Matre’d Anthony. It is unbelievable the passion he shows for these events. What an incredible person. He walked through the entire process and crazy little details I wanted with me and my husband. Somehow all of my day before nerves were calmed and I knew he had everything under control. Then the morning of I met my Bridal Attendant, Sabrina, all I have to say is “I love her!” Because of her help and attention to details, I did not have one bit of stress. She dealt with the photographer for me, the videographer, my family and all other vendors making sure everyone was where they needed to be. While also steaming my dress, water my flowers, getting me drinks and food and all of the other behind the scenes stuff she had on her plate. But never once showed that she was overwhelmed. All I have to say is all of the people mentioned above were phenomenal. Now to the venue, all I have to say is WOW. The view, the food, the staff, this place is definitely a gem. Do not judge this place based on their website. It does not do it justice at all. I can guarantee your guest will leave in awe of The Pavilion. Book it Now, you will not regret it!!!!

I cannot tell you how many of our guest came up to us at the wedding or have texted days later to tell us how much they loved our venue. We had a semi-formal beach wedding, literally on the sand, and it was nothing short of perfect. The staff was incredible!! From the second we booked the venue, we worked very closely with Tarek, who helped create our vision and guide us as we made our decisions. Our Matire ‘D, Anthony, and our Bridal attendant, Sabrina, were both personable, on top of everything, and helped make our special day go smoothly. Anthony went over every detail with us prior to the wedding to make sure that all of the events unfolded exactly as we wanted. Sabrina checked in with me the perfect amount to make sure that I had everything I needed, felt my best, and was having a great time. The food was INCREDIBLE. Many of our guests also commented on how great the hors d'oeuvres and main courses were. I cant stop using the word incredible to describe this venue because it’s exactly what it was. It was truly a dream. I wasn’t stressed ONCE during our wedding day and I would pick this venue again and again.

I cannot give enough praises to The Lessings team at the Pavilion at Sunken Meadow. My husband and I fell in love with this venue from the moment we set our eyes on it. The location was very symbolic and significant to us, but additionally we both just instantly knew this was where we wanted to get married and have our wedding. It was a very calm, serene, and beautiful setting. The venue is stunning. We chose to have a Black Tie Optional affair, but you can also easily make it more cocktail or casual if that's what you're going for. Tarek was the manager of the venue that we worked with and he was fantastic! Anytime I had a question, I received an answer very quickly. We were always told, we could practically do anything that we wanted and Tarek and the Lessings team would make it happen, which they did. I have a lot of food allergies. They take this very seriously and from the food tasting to the wedding day, they were very attentive to my food allergies, and some of the other guests that also had allergies. The day of my wedding, I used the bridal suite to get ready with my girls. It's a great space and can hold a decent amount of people. My hair and makeup artist had a nice area to set up and do everyone's hair and makeup. We had eight people getting ready in the room and had enough room. The staff provided us with great breakfast food. Sabrina was our bridal attendant. She was absolutely phenomenal. She was very attentive to us while getting ready at the bridal suite. The zipper on my MIL's dress broke after she put her dress on, and Sabrina got right in there to help fix the situation. Sabrina was attentive to my husband and I throughout the entire day. It happened to rain briefly after our ceremony, Sabrina was there with an umbrella for me. Our Maitre D was Dave. Our entire day went flawlessly. Dave kept everything in order from the moment it started to the very end. All of our guests say what an incredible time they had, and they all also mentioned how much they loved Dave! He provided some table entertainment during dinner and was there whenever we needed him. Overall, hands down couldn’t have asked for a better team to host our wedding. The Lessings, management, and everyone else part of the team all played such an integral role and were nothing short of outstanding.

Our wedding at the pavilion far exceeded our expectations. The venue was beautiful and Kathryn and her team went above and beyond for us. Kathryn was great to work with and made sure everything we needed was accommodated. Everyone loved the food (there was plenty of it!) and the beautiful view. We couldn't be happier that we chose the pavilion as our wedding venue!
