One of the Finest Venues in Westchester!…read more I have had the honor of hosting several fundraisers for a wonderful organization called Access Equestrian, whose mission is to provide care and therapy through adaptive riding to their amazing clients. It has always been my goal to provide the best experience possible, not only for my client, but for the wonderful community they serve as well as their generous benefactors. In pursuit of this goal, Mulino's at Lake Isle has always been my number one choice to host their events! The central location of Mulino's at Lake Isle makes them a desirable choice in terms of convenience. However, there are many other factors which make this venue my top choice. Beginning with the rich decor and attention to detail which exceeds that of other comparable venues, adding to that; the impeccable service delivered by their knowledgeable and friendly staff. All of the above provides the perfect setting for guests to enjoy the superior gourmet cuisine which their top chefs consistently deliver from their list of extensive choices! Banquet managers Linda and John have always gone out of their way to ensure all our needs have been met. Their attention to even the smallest details is second to none! Linda consistently works to customize the menu to my requests for themed events. She is readily available and responds to all communications expeditiously. Shout out to Stephanie who catered to my every need during my November 2 fundraiser! I can say with complete confidence that Mulino's at Lake Isle is a wonderful place to host your event ( big or small ), they will work with you to make it a success! Don't forget to ask for Linda Gundelach - she is the best!!! You can also check out their new restaurant right next door - Gigante Restaurant & Bar. If your guests arrive early they can enjoy a cocktail there! Best, Kim DiNunzio kdinunzio@optonline.net kim.dinunzio@barnumfg.com

We then moved into the reception room and the tables were expertly lit and decorated.

However, as the groom, I absolutely did not have to endure a 'bridezilla.' Jacqueline and Darryl were the primary factors for this. Jacqueline was at every dress fitting, and the bridal shower. She helped form the strategic plan, but was on point with the smallest of details. The contacts they had for every imaginable service made planning a breeze. Although they are very busy (for obvious reasons), they promptly replied to every email, text message and phone call. They went above and beyond to serve as referee, counselor, mediator, and fixer. I cannot accurately describe how reassuring it is having a go-to (or two) to put out any fires or better yet, prevent them before they started. For brides-to-be, you will not find a better planner with more solid contacts in the industry. For grooms, cut the check! In retrospect I would have paid triple what they charged for the quality of life and piece of mind leading up to the events, and for the smile on the face of my beautiful bride on the day of.

From start to finish,…read moreJacque went above and beyond to create an unforgettable winter ski getaway and an incredible 50th birthday celebration at Whiteface Lodge. Every detail was handled with precision and care--from crafting a daily itinerary of winter activities like skiing, ice skating, and dogsledding, to orchestrating a spectacular birthday bash complete with shuttle service for guests, stunning décor, catering for food and beverages, a fantastic DJ, photographer, and even fun photo booths. The list of what she managed is endless! What truly stood out was Jacque's professionalism and calm confidence throughout the entire process. Even when things were uncertain, she never wavered. Jacque made me feel completely supported, as if I had a trusted partner who always had my back. Her ability to anticipate needs, solve problems quickly, and keep everything running smoothly ensured that I could relax and enjoy every moment knowing I was in good hands. If you're looking for someone who combines creativity, organization, and grace under pressure, Jacque at Lifetime Events by Jacqueline is the one. She turned my vision into reality and exceeded every expectation. I am beyond grateful for her hard work and dedication! Thank you Jacque!! Keisha Grant-Heslop

I will say I had a great experience with hair/makeup and dress but photography was such a horrible experience. We saw sample pictures beforehand and decided to go with Rahel but the pictures we actually got were no where near what we were given. I will preface and say that we were pre-warned that we were double booked that day and were not going to get the main photographer,however, I am not just upset at the quality of photos but just the lack of professionalism that followed. We ended up taking studio photos that day with the main photographer which actually were edited and came out nice, however, the pictures taken at the venue were terrible with the other photographers. Many of the pictures looked like we were inside a club due to horrible flash. Many pictures we were washed out with flash directly in our faces. Not just that but barely none were edited. We just got a photo dump of nearly 7 gbs of just raw pictures. We hired photography to get professional pictures but we just ended up with a photo dump of just raw photos and terrible ones at that. The worst part is I tried emailing the group about my concerns 3 times with NO response and am just amazed at their unprofessionalism with their clients. I guess once they have your money they just have no regard for you. If at least there was some dialogue about the situation I don't think I would have been as upset but the fact that before the wedding they were very responsive to the silence that followed afterwards is just what is very upsetting.

To the entire venue team, thank you for making us feel so special, not just on our wedding day, but even afterward. That gesture truly touched our hearts. Our guests are still talking about the beautiful venue, wonderful arrangements, and especially the delicious food. The teriyaki salmon and mini crab cakes definitely deserve a special mention!

If I could give this review five more stars, I absolutely would!…read more The Persnickety Bride has been a dream from start to finish. As a curvier bride, I was definitely intimidated to start wedding dress shopping because of the sizing industry, but Denise and her team completely changed that for me. They were so welcoming, so kind, and honestly made the whole experience fun instead of stressful. When I went to try on dresses, I ended up finding my dream dress! Their selection is beautiful, thoughtfully curated, and not at all overwhelming. The boutique itself feels homey and personal, which made the experience even more special. From the very beginning, everyone I worked with went above and beyond. Cecile helped me find my dress, and Emmy guided me when I picked it up and chose my veil--they were both absolutely wonderful. Patient, kind, and genuinely excited for me, they made the process so smooth and enjoyable. I cannot recommend The Persnickety Bride enough to any bride--whether you're in Fairfield, New Haven, Putnam County, or even farther away, this is worth the trip. You simply won't find a better experience than this one!

She was always easy to reach and prompt with getting back to me. Absolutely loved working with her. My guests were happy and the kids were also entertained. The photographer was also very professional and so talented. She captured the event so well that someone can feel like they were there. The pastries and cake were also beautiful and delicious. Moist, not too sweet or greasy. Everything went so smooth and I couldn't ask for more. We are definitely going to hire Xin to style our next big event. It would save us tons of headaches and create such wonderful memories. We really enjoyed the party's relaxed atmosphere. We were able to enjoy our children and play with the party favors. The kids loved the party entertainment. Face painting!! My son had an amazing monster truck drawn on his face and our baby girl had a flower.
