Carlyle On The Green

Sue AMAZING. Janet - OMG. I'd love to hire her to be my personal assistant. She's just amazing. She was there everywhere I turned. She was uber helpful. I must say that I couldn't have picked a better venue. The glamour was totally what I was looking for. And the lights...omg the lights. I also loved that this place only booked one wedding at a time which meant a lot to me because of the number of guests I was having and I didn't want the day to be chaotic. This place is a bit pricey but totally worth every single penny.Trust me you can't go wrong.

Awesome place! Great service and great staff!

Our search for a reception hall started out far and wide. We looked all over Long Island, New Jersey, New Rochelle and Westchester. After several months of searching, we had decided on a hall in New Rochelle but had three bad experiences prior to signing the contract. We decided not to book with this hall and I'm so glad we didn't. We started our search again and the Carlyle on the Green was the last place we looked at. As soon as we entered we were greeted by a very friendly reception. And I knew as soon as I saw the ceremony room with the beautiful fireplace and the reception room with all the windows and bright sunlight coming in that this was the place! We worked with the banquet manager, Cynthia, and immediately connected with her as well. We absolutely loved the space however it didn't fall within our price range on our date. After discussing some options with Cynthia, we discovered that there is a "reduced" menu for a lower price during their off season months. As much as we wanted to have a June wedding, we decided that the Carlyle was the one and we decided to have our wedding in March during their off season so that it would be more affordable. Cynthia also reassured us that despite the reduced menu we would still be able to get a lot of the items that we wanted off the full menu. Their gratuity/service fees are a bit higher than most halls and we also had to pay for the valet but after all was said and done, we were extremely pleased with everything.

From the moment we booked, everyone at the Carlyle was so warm and welcoming. We met with Cynthia several times to review details and also for our food tasting. The food tasting was held in their restaurant and the food was beyond fabulous! We're big time food people and we couldn't get enough of everything.

We were a little worried that the Carlyle's cocktail hour room wouldn't have enough seat but there is seating provided in the hallway and they can open up their additional room if needed. They're a great place for a large wedding since their reception room can hold >300 people. Our wedding was about 165 guests and we were able to put sofas to create a lounge-like atmosphere in the reception room. It was definitely a unique touch.

The day of the wedding everything went off without a hitch. We were so pleased with their superb service. I had one small request that the aisle runner that I had painted with a monogram on it be rolled out right before I walk instead of before the bridal party and they were more than happy to accommodate my request. They also made sure that none of my guests saw me before the ceremony and that I was standing off to the side while the ceremony started so I wouldn't be revealed to the guests until I actually walked down the aisle. I thought that was a really nice touch. During the rehearsal an hour before, they also walked us through how to walk down the aisle and who should be standing where. My guests raved about the food at cocktail hour and said the seafood station and bourbon street station was definitely their favorite. Once everyone was inside the reception room, our Maitre d', Christina, let me know that I could peak through the French door curtains to watch my bridal party entrance.

We were able to get everything we wanted on the main menu except for the duck entree and filet mignon. It didn't phase us at all since we picked a chicken dish and the rib eye. Both were really good. Everyone really enjoyed the food and the room was stunning in the afternoon. Everyone's pictures came out really well from all the sunlight and it was perfect. Carlyle was quick to setup all my DIY items as well as taking them all down. We went with the cake they provided and they let us pick from a few designs and we asked if we could have a combination of both swirls and dots on our cake and it looked fantastic! The only thing was that there was a lot of construction outside due to the 2009 US Open and while it made some backgrounds for pictures outdoors a little difficult, we were still able to get some really great shots.

Elegant. Delicious. Perfect. The entire staff made our day the most special day of our lives.

The pre-wedding (Cynthia is fantastic) and day-of service is impeccable. The Maitre D' (Christina) and Bridal Attendant (Janet) way exceeded expectations, allowed us to have an amazing time and kept everything running smoothly. The food it outstanding, the liquor service is top-shelf and the place is just beautiful. The guests raved about everything - especially the service.

The Carlyle on the Green really knows how to put on a show and how to take care of the bride and groom, however, they are very inflexible on how you pay for thier services, the wedding "coordinator" was a little stuck up, and they lied through thier teeths whenever anything went awry. On the other hand, the food was amazing, they decorated everything to our specifications, and the bridal attendant not only tended to every one of the brides needs, but also the the groom, and the bridesmaids if needed. With all the problems we had, I would throw another party there in a heartbeat. Just make sure you read the fine print on the contract. They will try to rush you through it but it can cost you an extra $10,000

The Carlyle on the Green was actually my ceremony and reception site. We must have looked at 12 venues and I knew it was the Carlyle when I teared up upon my first visit. It is an absolutely gorgeous cocktail hour and reception room. The cocktail hour much resembles an elegant living room of wealthy family. It is homey and elegant. The reception room is surrounded by glass overlooking the home of the U.S. Open Golf Course. What can be more beautiful? The venue put up huge white curtains blocking guests views of the ballroom while traveling from the indoor cocktail hour to the outdoor patio. I loved this aspect. Nobody saw your reception room until the door were officially opened and the guests were invited in. The ceremony can be held either in the outside garden or in an indoor room separate from the cocktail hour or reception rooms. My wedding was in early August so I opted for an indoor ceremony. The room very much resembled a small chapel which I loved. It holds over 200 people and all of my guests were present at my ceremony. I can't gush enough about the food at the Carlyle. This is definitely not the run of the mill catering hall food. The food was exquisite. This is definitely one of the nicest venues on Long Island.

We held the rehearsal dinner about two weeks prior to the big day. Scheduling forced it to be this way. We decided to hold the rehearsal dinner at the Carlyle on the Green in Bethpage, New York which was the reception site itself. The Carlyle houses a very impressive restaurant that easily and willingly accommodated our 30 person rehearsal dinner. After the rehearsal took place, the crowd strolled into the Carlyle's private restaurant for a spectacular dinner of steak, swordfish, or chicken. I had the steak and I was absolutely blown away. Everyone raved about the food. The fried calamari was amazing and the chocolate cake -to die for. This is definitely an elegant place to wine and dine your bridal party and they will leave feeling nothing less than your sincere thankfulness to their help, support and participation in your wedding day.

Food was excellent! And it was Kosher.... Had problems with number of guests and was forced to pay for over counting 10 people.

Was a beautiful site, we were the only wedding at the site for that day so it was a very personalized feeling. The food and service was great. The cigar and jazz after party was a nice touch.
