The Riviera

The Riviera threw the best wedding ever! They still didn't have power the day of our wedding due to Superstorm Sandy but thank the good Lord for generators! The food was outstanding; all our guests raved about it and are still talking about it. The maître d' was very accommodating and attended to all our needs. The wait staff was superb and the bartender was outstanding. He remembered every drink our guests ordered and as soon as someone approached the bar, he had their drink ready and waiting. The venue itself is gorgeous and the view is breathtaking! The fireplaces were lit which made it a very romantic setting. I love the fact that there is only one wedding at a time there so you truly feel special and all the attention is on you!

The Riviera was an awesome wedding venue. Vicki was a great person to work with for the full year leading up to the wedding. She was very responsive and helped us in every way. The place was setup exactly how we wanted it and it looked great once the sun set. The bartenders were great and made all types of drinks for our guests. There were plenty of tables for the cocktail hour and the food was fantastic. We got a sample tray of all the entrees for our meal and never went a few minutes without a drink in our hands. No complaints from us, we loved The Riviera and it made our wedding memorable.

The Riviera was AMAZING! The staff was great, the place was beautiful and the food was delicious. All of my guests raved about how nice the place was. There are a lot of wood features and two fireplaces. It is cozy, inviting, and warm. NOT the typical all white reception hall that plagues this island. Mary and Paul were exceptional.

We could not be happier with our choice to have our wedding reception at the Riviera. The moment we walked inside, we knew this was the place. The Riviera is a beautiful venue with outstanding food, but the service is what really sets it apart. This is a wonderful family-run business where friendliness and personal attention are more than the norm. Vicki spent over an hour with my family our first time visiting answering questions, showing us the grounds, and putting together a package that met our needs. We spent as much time with Mary later on choosing our menu and working out the details for our day. Vicki, Mary, and others at the Riviera were always organized, had all of our details on file, and returned our calls nearly instantly anytime a question came up. I come from a family of artists, and we spent a lot of time handcrafting favors and other decorative items for the reception. Peter and Anthony made sure the staff at the Riviera took great of everything we dropped off and were meticulous in setting it up the way we asked. Our reception, of course, was flawless and beautiful. Our guests still rave about the food, the atmosphere and the outside patio, on which we were fortunate enough to have a gorgeous summer night to enjoy our cocktail hour. We had 150 guests, and the amount of space was absolutely perfect - and nobody waited long at the bar for a drink! I'm so thankful to have found the Riviera. Book it!

My fiance and I were looking for a venue that was less gaudy Long Island and more old English Barn. We found perfection with The Riviera. We held both our ceremony and reception here, and can't express in words how great our experience was. From planning the day with Michelle, to actually executing the day with our amazing Bridal Attendant Tara, everything was a breeze. The location, ambiance, staff, food, and service were beyond what we could even have dreamed of. If I could do it all again, I'd never waver from The Riviera.
