Sands Point Preserve

Amazing experience with Emily and Moe! Everything from the food to the service to the history and setting.. this was my dream venue and it certainly lived up in every aspect!

The Hempstead House at Sands Point Preserve is the pinnacle of a beautiful, romantic, and magical venue. It made my husband and me feel royal, it made our guests feel special, and we could not be happier with our decision to get married there. Emily and Mo, the two main points of contact at Hempstead House, are simply exceptional. They are kind, patient, and utterly devoted to making your special occasion unforgettable. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and we could not have done it without Emily, Mo, their flawless team, and the unparalleled Hempstead House.

Emily and Moe were incredible in helping my husband and I move through the wedding planning process! They anticipated all the needs we had as we planned, especially on our wedding day, and made our wedding incredibly seamless and worry-free for us! I would highly recommend working with them for any and all events!

I was a September 2023 bride at the Hempstead House and truly had the wedding of my dreams!! Emily & Moe are the absolute DREAM TEAM. Emily became a part of the family and we all adored her. I tell everyone I didn’t have a wedding planner and feel like I was fine since I had Emily hahaha. Not only are they amazing, but the venue is exquisite and so unique for Long Island in my opinion. HIGHLY recommend working with them and their team. I will forever be so thankful and in awe of my venue!

What can i even say this venue was magical. Truly a fairytale wedding. The grounds, the inside, the team, and THE SERVICE. Spectacular. I spent months looking for the perfect venue all over NYC, NJ, Long Island, even Italy and we ended up going with Hempstead house and I’m so glad we did! Moe and his team will make your dream wedding happen and the service and staff are really beyond anything you can imagine. The venue is stunning- everything can happen at the venue – getting ready, ceremony, after party, reception. We couldn’t of had a more perfect day.

Philip Stone Caterers & The Hempstead House did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding!! The venue itself is gorgeous, and such a unique place. Emily and Moe are the best, they were super helpful and answered all of our questions. We had no worries leading up to the wedding, as we knew they would knock it out of the park – and they did! The food is excellent, the service is amazing, and the whole team was so great to work with!!

I would recommend Sands Point Preserve, Emily/Moe, and Philip Stone Caterers ten times over. Truly the best experience.

Our wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined. Emily and Mo were very responsive and accommodating throughout the planning process (3 years in the making due to Covid), with multiple date changes, etc. The venue itself is out of a fairytale, a castle and gardens with stunning views of the Long Island Sound. The food was incredible, from cocktail hour in the gardens to dinner. Highly recommend Hempstead House for an amazing wedding.

By far the best and unique venue in Long Island. The views are stunning, the Hempstead House made guests speechless and I continue to receive feedback from friends and family that it was the best wedding venue they have ever attended. My wedding photos are better than I imagine. Emily and Moe were on top of their game the entire wedding day and ran the show like you would not believe. I am happy and blessed that we were able to have a wedding that was unique, gorgeous and out do this world. The cocktail hour outside was a huge hit and the food was outstandingly delicious. Highly recommend!

Not only is the space at Hempstead House incredible, the team is as well. Emily and Mo were extremely helpful and responsive throughout my wedding planning as well as day of. The venue is spectacular and the food was incredible. We’re so happy we decided to get married at Hempstead House.

The team at the Hempstead house truly made my dream wedding come to life. They were supportive, honest, and extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process. The venue itself is unlike any other with the beautiful grounds for ceremony and cocktail hour to the gorgeous architecture inside for reception. The photo ops are endless!! I couldn’t recommend this venue enough!

Gorgeous venue, great food and above all an amazing and attentive staff. Emily is a gem- truly incredible, knowledgeable and detail oriented. Can’t say enough about her and Moe. They are the best! Such an amazing day. Thank you Hempstead House and Philip Stone caterers!

Truly Incredible
Everything about this venue is incredible and the staff is the icing on the top. My husband and I had our wedding here in August – from the moment I inquired with Sands Point in 2021 they were so attentive. Their professionalism, flexibility and friendliness was so refreshing and made the planning process a breeze. Emily and Moe are simply the best. They were so hands on the day of – Moe even made me a plate of food at cocktail hour and made sure that I ate! I cannot recommend them enough. Thanks to them, we had our dream wedding.

Spectacular! Everything about The Hempstead House was incredible! Moe and Emily were wonderful to work with and made the entire wedding process so easy. We could not be happier with our choice. The food was incredible and our guests continue to tell us that they have never seen a cocktail hour like that before. Hands down an incredible place. Service , views, ambiance all 10/10. Thank you for everything!!!

Outstanding day because of great food and service

My daughter recently had her wedding and reception at the Hempstead House, part of the Sands Point Preserve. The place itself is beautiful and has a spectacular view. But more importantly the service was outstanding, and the food provided by Philip Stone Caterers was simply amazing in both taste and it’s unique style. The two lead people Emily and Mo were extremely attentive to all our needs throughout the whole planning process. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a great wedding reception.

When we first got engaged, my fiancé and I knew that we wanted to get married at any venue where Moe and his team managed and catered. My sister had gotten married at the Hempstead House 5 years prior and our friends and family were still raving about her wedding. From the food to the venue to every minute detail. In looking around, we felt most at home at the Hempstead House and were excited for Moe and his team to make our wedding dreams come true. I’m a fairly particular person, and I immediately recognized and appreciated Moe’s attention to detail. Moe knew just how to bring our own individual personalities shine through every selection and detail. Both Moe and Emily responded to every email and call within an impressively quick timeframe, and always offered to help make everything easier for us and our families. We had plenty of questions (big and small) and they always always aimed to please. Moe lead us through every option and helped us bring in additional ways to really make the night about us. From recommendations on a band and bringing in additional furniture, to the cordial selection for our espresso bar, to the placement of the pool table for our after party, he made everything so special. My husband and I, and our entire family, were really able to relax and soak up every moment of our celebration just by knowing we were in Moe and Emily’s hands. Now it has been 2 years since our wedding, and our friends and family still share how memorable our wedding was, not only because of the beautiful venue and delicious food (get the lamp chops!), but also because how seamless everything was that day.

Words cannot describe how thankful we are for you making our wedding so spectacular. Both our families are getting countless phone calls and text messages that guests said our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been too. But it wasn’t just the venue, decor, or the music that stood out, the food and service was remarkable. Everything was executed so perfectly. We are so thankful our dream wedding came to life. Our wedding at the Hempstead House was everything we ever wanted

We had the best party ever! It exceeded every expectation you guys went above and beyond to help us throughout the entire planning process. Everyone was raving about the food. All of the guests told us it was the best wedding they have been to all thanks to you! Thank you for being so accommodating and working so closely with us. The food, the service, the event, the weather, everything turned out just how we planned and better, we couldn’t have been happier!

I’m not even sure where to begin because words won’t clearly express how much we truly appreciate every single thing you did for us and our team last week and over the past year. You made every minute of planning this event so much fun and somehow relaxing at the same time. Each and every guest, along with every member of our planning and décor team commented on how amazing everything was and how seamless things were run. Thank you again for everything and look forward to working together soon!
