Westchester Manor

I’ve been here for Sweet 16’s and it wasn’t bad, but I went on New Years Eve this year, and it was absolutely horrible. Here’s why:
First of all, it was $ 130. The only reason I paid this was because I had no other plans last minute. This included dinner, dancing and open bar, but I still think it was ridiculously overpriced.
There were way too many people. I understand that they wanted to make money, but it was so cramped and crowded that you could barely walk through the tables.
The cocktail hour was pretty good, but I think there definitely could have been more food and better quality. Overall, not horrible.
The worst of all was that they watered down all of our drinks. My whole table had multiple drinks and no one even felt a buzz (not normal for any of us). They even watered down our vodka shots by mixing them with ice!
Then they gave us our pasta, which tasted horrible. I don’t know if it was the sauce or what but we all thought it was nasty. Also, they didn’t even give us a choice for our entrée. They just came out with steak, string beans, a tiny piece of lobster tail, mashed potatoes on top of a baked potato and some other vegetables. I was very upset, being I’m not fond of any of this. What if someone is a vegetarian? They didn’t even ask how we wanted our steak (which had fat all over it, by the way).
As for the dessert, all we got was a little plate of tiramisu (also not fond it this). For the price we paid they could have at least had a Viennese with a bunch of dessert options.
I wouldn’t have cared about all of this if the music was at least good, but it was horrible. I was very surprised because DJ Serg is usually great. They didn’t play any of the songs we requested and they didn’t play a lot of songs you could really dance and sing to.
Overall, I would never come here again for an event like this. It was like a really bad wedding with people you don’t know. It definitely was not worth the money.

I held my daughter’s sweet 16 party and everything was great. Children & adults were all attended to properly. Food was great as was the room, which easily accommodated a DJ and dance floor.

I had my wedding here on June 20, 2015.
Let me start by saying, I absolutely loved this place. It’s a small venue, but it was perfect because we were having 160 people, and I wanted it to feel intimate.
I worked with Enrico, who is the owner of the place, and he couldn’t have been more helpful. He answered all of our questions, put to rest all of our concerns, and was there with us every step of the way. He went above and beyond to make sure my wedding was a total success.
The staff here in general is absolutely amazing. Carmen, who is the bridal attendant, was my shadow. She fixed my dress when it needed fixing, she carried my dress up and down the stairs, she brought me whatever I asked for, made sure I ate, cleaned my dress when I dropped a little sauce on it and was just there whenever I needed her. She is AMAZING.
Fernando (I’m not sure what his title was, but I believe they were calling him a captain) is AMAZING. He made sure everything went smoothly in the kitchen. And he was also managing the crêpe station making delicious crepes for our Venesian hour.
We did not have alcohol at our wedding, so we opted for the Venesian hour. Enrico surprised us with a HUGE cannoli cake. We had a chocolate foundation, flan, crem brûlée and had 2 crêpe stations and MORE. ALL OF IT WAS BEYOND DELICIOUS. My guests were flipping out over all of it.
The food in general is absolutely delicious. From cocktail hour (we had a guy rolling fresh mozzarella cheese) to our main entrée’s, the food was DELICIOUS. I haven’t had food that good at a wedding… Ever. And I’m not saying that because it was mine.
All in all, my experience at Westchester manor was absolutely 5 star and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to have a beautiful intimate wedding (we had 160 people, and it felt very intimate.) Love everyone at Westchester Manor.

Yesterday afternoon we had our son’s Bar Mitzvah celebration @ Westchester Manor. John and his entire staff could not have been more accomodating! The food, ambiance and service were top notch. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about everything!!! They will be highly recommending your venue. Westchester Manor is a hidden jewel of the Rivertowns! Thank you for making our celebration such a memorable day!

Went here for a wedding recently. The food was subpar — nothing screamed great about this place at all. I wouldn’t return if I didn’t have to. I’d seriously reconsider having an event here.

This is just one rave review from one of our guests.
Enrico and his staff truly «make magic» for your special occasion.
Gracious, kind, professional people. Everyone is a VIP at Westchester Manor.
You cannot beat the food. SIX STARS!
5. Then the RECEPTION …everyone was overwhelmed by the generosity of the celebration you both invited us to … everything — from the appetizers to the great dinner to the wedding cake and fresh fruit and great decaf and scrumptious cookies and tall taper candles and perfect floral designs and tables with friends and THE BEST DJ MUSIC EVER WHO HAD EVERYONE DANCING ALL NIGHT… i cannot imagine the planning…
