The Royalton Mansion — Attraction in Town of North Hempstead

My husband and I got married at the Royalton Mansion in October 2024. The Royalton is truly a one-of-a-kind venue and a hidden gem. No venue in the NYC-area compares to the Royalton in terms of getting the most bang for your buck.

From the ability to arrive on premise at any point in the day (at no additional charge and with breakfast and lunch covered for all those getting ready with you), to a truly insane amount of food (i.e. 15 passed apps, 5 stations during cocktail hour, 1 duet course, 4 customizable entrée options, and a Viennese table or plated dessert), all of which were delicious, to having only one wedding per day (and access to the entire property all day), to not having an administrative fee, to not charging for vendor’s meals or specialty cocktails or the wedding cake, to their special “hospitality” before the ceremony, to having a large dance floor, to Mike T. who is really the heart and soul of the venue and completely removes the need for any kind of wedding planner, the Royalton truly outdid itself. Additionally, the Royalton was able to accommodate some very specific requests from me, my husband, and our family, and our guests are still raving about the amount and quality of the food and drinks. Our friends loved the flavored shots on the dance floor and the hospitality (i.e. a few passed apps before the ceremony).

Mike T. was so easy to work with and always accessible whenever we had a question (even if it was about another vendor). He was quick to rectify any issues that came up and very reassuring throughout the 2 years between when we signed our contract (they accepted all of our redlines by the way) and our wedding day. He also provided great advice (e.g. suggesting to shave ½ an hour off the after-party and add it to the cocktail hour, which I would highly recommend).

A few small hiccups: We had a small issue with our tasting (i.e. a sauce we had requested wasn’t provided but again, Mike fixed it) The soup for our duet course was poured too early in the evening (and thus was cold by the time the guests ate it) We didn’t discuss dietary restrictions for breakfast and lunch in advance (and one of my friends who is gluten and dairy free needed a special meal made for her--the Royalton again was able to fix in the moment but I wish they had anticipated this in advance). A major issue with the music for the after party (i.e. I had been told that all I needed was a Spotify playlist and my phone. However, the Royalton didn’t have a USB-C connector to their AV system, and my bridal attendant wound up telling me about this in the middle of my last dance. I had given her my phone far earlier in the day when the issue could have been identified and much more easily rectified, and I wish she had gone to any other person to figure it out--not the bride in the middle of the last song of the night.

All in all though, there is really nothing like the Royalton–do not even think twice about booking it!

I was married here 7/29/23 so this is overdue! But 10000000% recommend. I couldn’t recommend this venue more. It’s truly a hidden gem. I didn’t know it was out there until I went to look at it and I knew right away that I trusted them and booking there would make my day so easy. Mike T is the kindest, most professional human being I have ever met. He was so flexible the entire planning process and made it SO EASY. My father has health issues and my sister has a severe disability and he was so accommodating offering to help us any way that he could while planning throughout the year. He made sure my sister was able to privately see the venue and ensured we could make plans to accommodate her throughout the day. I will never forget his kindness. Arturo was also incredible, amazing with planning and made the day effortless. They included a bridal attendant for the day, her name was Brianna and she took really good care of me. All of the staff was professional and incredible. Having the venue for myself the entire day was a game changer. I was even able to drop off all my things the day before so the morning of everything was already there. Plus they fed us breakfast, coffee, mimosas and then light lunch before we left for the church. Everything day of went smoothly. They were so welcoming to all of my vendors and took good care of them. The food was amazing for cocktail hour and dinner, and no lines at the bars! Please, please, please consider this venue- they will take care of you, you won’t be...

The Royalton is amazing and was the perfect place to have our wedding! It’s beautiful, charming, elegant, and the food is AMAZING! Mike and Amanda are an absolute pleasure to work with and they made the whole process a lot of fun. From the initial planning to the final details, they were on top of everything and are extremely knowledgeable. They were responsive to all of our requests while guiding us in a very helpful way on what would work well for the wedding we had in mind. On top of being experts in their fields and great at their jobs, they’re lovely to get to know as well. We felt confident the entire time that we were in really great hands. The entire staff at the Royalton is warm, professional, talented, and made us feel so special on our big day. The bride’s and groom’s attendants took such great care of us. And part of what makes the Royalton so special is that they focus on one wedding a day, unlike many other venues we looked at. That was very helpful for us in that we could have the space as early as we wanted that morning, and we had the entire property to ourselves throughout the entire day and night. It made us feel very at home and comfortable while getting ready for the ceremony and reception, which allowed us to take it all in and enjoy every moment! We can’t say enough good things about the Royalton and the team there. We’re very grateful that they created an absolutely perfect day for us and our guests! -...
