The Lessing's Mansion at Timber Point was the right wedding venue for us. We looked at about 10 places before booking with them so by that point we really knew what we wanted and to look for. The biggest thing we wanted was the ability to have our 2 golden retrievers at the ceremony, so obviously it would have to be outdoors. I loved how the the mansion has a nice size outdoor patio facing the Great South Bay, and a beautiful pergola where the alter would be. And since all of the other venues we looked at prior didn't have the "right" backup plan for us in case of inclement weather, we would've had to move the ceremony indoors - which meant no doggies. That was a deal breaker for us. The mansion has a huge tent outdoors that would've accommodated the ceremony beautifully AND still allow our precious pups to be there. So that's really how my husband and I decided to book with Timber Point. But luckily the weather on our special day was beyond gorgeous. The price per person was very good compared to other places we looked, and the food was awesome!!! The maitre D (we had Jacob) and bridal attendant (oops, forgot her name) were great. Very attentive. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. They set everything up just as we wanted and our special day couldn't have gone any better! Thank you Timber Point!!!

From the day we stepped into Timber Point, we knew we wanted to get married there. Miriam was absolutely wonderful, she helped us with each step along the way. Everyone there is so helpful and truly wants you to have the best day. Jake and Nicole were amazing the day of the wedding, they made our day run so smoothly. We are still getting phone calls with compliments about the food, everything was delicious. Overall, everyone at timber point made sure our day was everything we dreamed of and more.

There are pros and cons for having your event here. The pros outweighed the cons for us which is why we went with it and am so glad we did! The cons: ~The room set up doesn't allow for the dance floor anywhere except in the corner. This meant anyone wanting to see what was going on HAD to leave their seats. A lot of our guests didn't do so. So we missed out in having a lot of people in our pictures. ~The bridal suite is on the small size. If you have a large bridal party, it gets a little cramped everyone getting ready in it. ~If there is bad weather, there are only so many places for pictures/video. We couldn't get much video downstairs while they were setting up because it was too noisy. ~People had to go through the reception room in order to get to the ceremon outside. While it didn't matter too much to me, other brides may want the set up to be more of a surprise. Pros: ~Jason was the best Matre' D EVER!!!!! There were a few issues the day of that we never even knew of until after the fact and after he took care of it. He even went out of his way to go find us the mead that was promised to us. He even came up with a few surprises for us (me). Apparently my husband was in on the surprise and couldn't wait to see my reaction! He was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. So wonderful to work with and I can't thank him enough. ~One wedding at a time. We had the Sunday twilight wedding, there was nobody before us and nobody after us and let me tell you.... it was WONDERFUL not worrying about another party going on and hearing their music or having people we don't know walking into our party or our guests walking off. ~Everyone was ranting and raving about the food. It tasted WONDERFUL!!!! They gave us a plate of each of the dinner options to share between me and my husband and gave us 2 steaks to take home that night. ~It is a Lessing's company and they hold up to everything that is in that name. The service was great, decoration was wonderful, worked with us with anything we asked. Couldn't ask for more

We fell in love the minute we walked through the doors. Even though it was January we could still envision what our June wedding would look like. The garden in full bloom. The arbor with flowers and tulle where we would say our vows. The breathtaking views of LI Sound. On June 23rd the vision came to life. Not one thing was out of place. They had new wood floors throughout and new tents in the back for shade. It was even better than when we had fallen in love! Walking in our guests were treated to Champagne with strawberries or sparking cider for the ceremony. Our placecards were done on Ghiradelli chocolates, which our attendant put out on a table in the shape of a heart with candles all around. The cake table was exquisite with the cake surrounded by votives in all different shape and size jars. The bridal attendant, the Maitre D and all the staff were so kind and helpful. I never had to ask for a drink, I turned around and it was handed to me. The bridal suite had everything I would ever need in case I forgot something. A selection of beverages were brought up and we had breakfast brought up for the children in the bridal party before the wedding. If you want to feel and be treated special on your wedding day, this is the place. One wedding at a time. You are their only concern and they let you know it.

My new husband (!) and I immediately fell in love with Timber Point when we went to see it at first, not knowing how AMAZING everything would actually be. The venue is gorgeous, has old charm and character, and was host to a perfect, intimate outdoor ceremony. The outdoor bar area and patio was super flexible for our cigar smoking guests so they could be outside without feeling removed from the party. My dad was very appreciative of that!! First of all, Neil Chien was outstanding with the entire booking and planning process, we were very confident and reassured of the setup, menu, and staff from day 1- we looked no further, it just felt right from the start. He happily answered every little email immediately, no matter how silly the question was. Being that they only handle one event at a time- ALL EYES are on you and the entire staff is at your disposal. Marianne made sure all of our Pinterest projects made it to the tables and the maitre'd Jason was absolutely 100% incredible. He was calm, organized, attentive and extremely personable. He worked beautifully with our DJ, photographer, and bridal party. Jennifer the bridal attendant was lovely and a pleasure to work with, always making sure we had food and drinks- as well as our parents and even Nana! She took excellent care of us, and was very reassuring throughout all of the stressful moments. Jason was even so kind as to wipe the cake off of my groom's shoe after I so rudely smashed it into his eye :) They went above and beyond any expectations, right down to the awesome bartenders!! Not only did the staff do an unbelievable job of making every second special for us, but the food and service is unmatched. We chose to have a stations dinner, consisting of 4 varying food choices that were fabulous. The guests were RAVING about the selections and AMOUNTS of food that were available. Timber Point kept on serving until every one of our guests were satisfied. Everything was perfect. Seriously. Even Uncle Anthony gave a stamp of approval, which never happens ever. On top of it all- we chose to get married on the Wednesday before July 4, since everyone was off the next day. Since it was a weekday, we got an UNHEARD OF price for more than what most people had at their weddings. We had unlimited QUALITY food for almost half of what a typical wedding would have. You would NEVER have known we were on a tight budget. We hit the jackpot with Timber Point- we can't say it enough! There are no words to thank the entire staff for being so accommodating and wonderful the entire time, from start to finish. Thank you for making our wedding a dream come true and for making it possible for us to have everything we wanted and MORE. This was truly a dream wedding- we wouldn't recommend you have it anywhere else!!!!!!!!!!!! With much appreciation and many, many heartfelt thanks, Dan and Lisa Anne Flaherty
