It's very hard to put into words just how special Coindre Hall has become to my husband and I. John and the entire team there are absolutely incredible. The staff is warm and inviting, Kelly, the bridal attendant was amazing. She knew what I needed before I knew! They went above and beyond to make our special day beyond perfect. From the first day we stepped into the gorgeous mansion, John made us feel like our day was the most important day. He put our minds at ease with every question or concern we brought to him. Simply put, John is the best. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The grounds are gorgeous, and a fall wedding with the leaves changing made for a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony. The inside is so beautiful, I barely had to add any decor. We were able to add a few touches to make it unique and special for us, but it truly didn't need much at all. The food is amazing!! It's been 2 weeks since our wedding and we're still getting calls and texts about how delicious all the food was!! The variety of foods offered are amazing. There is truly something for everyone, and they were very accommodating for our guests with special dietary needs. One of the things I fell in love with about the Chateau at Coindre Hall is just how unique it is. Very few of our guests had ever been there for an event and everyone was blown away by the beauty and uniqueness of it. Coindre Hall is a true hidden gem on Long Island, and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants their special day to be unique and feel like the most important day ever. Thank you, John, Lessings, and the entire team at Coindre for the best day ever!! read more

For the pup lovers, this is a pup's paradise. There's a large open field where the pups can run free off leash and it stretches from the property to the waterfront. It's guaranteed bliss for all pups & all the dog owners we've come across have been super friendly & sweet! read more

On November 17, 2016 I attended the LI Pulse 8th Annual Island Tasting charity event to raise money for Island Harvest that combats hunger on Long Island. There are two levels of tickets VIP and General Admission. VIP gave you 1 hour earlier access and a special VIP room at the event. Due to work I went with the GA ticket since I was not able to arrive early. The event was well worth the $40 admission ($60 for the VIP access) The main downside to the event was having valet parking which backed up cars. I waited a half hour to park. Perhaps a better way to handle this have attendants direct people to parking spots and have golf carts to bring attendees to the entrance? I don't know, but it was not a good start. Thankfully everything else was excellent... So many great vendors donating their food and time to this event. I really enjoyed the Frisky Oysters with samples of Oyster Rockerfeller. Limani offered some excellent Octopus. Spiros is always one of the best tables at any LI event - so generous with stacks of delicious baby lamb chops and a tray of salmon. Brewology was handing out little beaker cups for their beer which was a whimsical little touch added to their samples. Their was one of two of the largest paellas I ever seen, but don't recall the restaurant at the moment (My friend, tablemate and fellow Elite Lisa told me this was Sangra71 in Williston Park. It was fantastically thing of beauty!). Coindre Hall has probably seen better days. I attended with Steph M. and she recalled the windows used to have the original leaded glass up until recently where it looks like they were replaced with plexiglass. Some of the original charm is evident, but some of the decor looks like it was updated in the 80s or 90s and looks very dated and anachronistic. Overall though a very beautiful Gold Coast mansion which made a perfect host for this event! Many of the attendees were dressed to impress and there were many attendees, especially during the first hour then it slowly emptied from being on the verge of overcrowding. I even saw some of our very own Elites from the community (Renee B, the infamous Lisa and Lee), which made me proud! A very popular event for sure and for an excellent cause! read more

Wiki says this medieval French château has 40 rooms (80k sq ft/7,400 sq m), was built for pharmaceutical magnate George McKesson Brown in 1912; he lost it to the stock market crushed in 1929. It's on the Huntington Harbor. It's named after Father André Coindre. Now used for events and weddings. Pro: the many rooms, give the cater the opportunity to place drinks and finger food in a few rooms on the second floor - thoughtful and intimate. However, the con is, main hall on the ground floor is small and adjacent to the dancing room, which is inconvenient. The food is above average for such event. Catering is by Lessing - they do a lot of business in New York, such as golf courses etc. All the event I attended, would have more than enough food. This one is no exception. I wish both sides would consider the wastefulness of the food and do something about it - like, putting out less food? The wedding ceremony is at 6pm, followed by reception then full sit down dinner. Maybe they could serve less food during the reception? Drinks and finger food are enough. No need to have chefs cooking up pasta, roasted pig ... Less is more? read more

Very nice venue with very detailed interior design. Everything is so clean and well kept. I'd have to say that the outside makes it look like a princess' magic castle but the inside is beautiful. High ceilings and they set up tables and the stations so that you have an idea of what it'll look like on the actual day. You get an incredible view of Huntington Harbor while you are seated in the dining room. I really like how you have the entire upstairs to yourself with a glass room where you can watch the guests arriving. The back of the castle is a bit strange though because it's a public dog park so you'll see a bunch of people with their dogs. There's no way to prevent them from being there on your big day but we were told that they're very accommodating when you're trying to take pictures. Just hope you don't step on any dog poo. Just kidding! Overall it's a beautiful place. I didn't like the photos that the photographers took. When you look at the photo albums of previous events held there, you'll notice that the images come up kind of washed out and dim. So I'd suggest hiring a different photographer than the ones they suggest. Go check it out for yourself! read more

Catering hall / woodlands and county park. Coindre Hall - built in 1906 resembles a castle for the most part. It sits on Suffolk County park land. This review is for the grounds only. The main building serves as a catering hall these days and is run by the Lessings group. The grounds have been utilized by dogs owners for years and with 34 acres available, it was a great place to take your beasties for some off the leash activities. The off-leash thing has been a source of controversy though over the past couple of years. At this time there are plans to build fenced dog runs in the park. There is a long sloping area that goes down to the water's edge in Huntington Harbor - where a load of rowing people have their equipment and which serves as a launching point for these types of craft. A great place to walk around and suck up some nature and sunshine. Parking near the main building. read more

Coindre Hall is absolutely beautiful. It is the perfect place to have a picnic, play some Kan Jam, washers, have a catch, sit on the docks by the water, take pictures, play with your dog, meet other friendly people and their dog, roll down the big grassy hill, sit on a bench and be a spectator, swim, kayak or watch the sunset. My dog is 10 and we have never thought to bring him here. Recently my family and I were having professional photos taken and we wanted to choose a space that allowed us to bring our dog. Caumsett was not pet friendly, so somebody there suggested we try Coindre Hall. There is a big parking lot, plenty of space. The building is old and rustic, which contributes so many opportunities for a great photo. Brick walls, beautiful flower beds, ivy along the walls and great big trees. There is a small little barn house at the bottom of the big hill which, for whatever reason, people thought it was smart to completely vandalize it with graffiti. The water view is fantastic, there are docks to sit on and a little beach area to get into the water. Don't come here if you don't appreciate dogs coming up and loving on you because they're everywhere and not leashed. Make sure if you do bring your dog, you bring a glove and a bag for their bathroom needs. It isn't fun stepping into another dog's business when you're in flip flops, or kneeling into it with your jeans when you're posing for a family photo. My only real issue with Coindre Hall that I found distasteful was the amount of smoking that was going on, and I don't mean cigarettes or cigars. It wasn't enjoyable walking past streams, stopping to take photos and having the stench of marijuana coming out from people hiding in the bushes or behind trees. We were surprised when we saw people who worked there come out of the building wreaking of the same substance as well. Unprofessional and like I said earlier, a bit distasteful. Kind of kills the whole family day vibe. read more

What an elegant and opulent venue! With architecture and view to kill for, this certainly is a place where an important life event should be held. I was fortunate enough to be invited for a charity event, held here. Upon arrival, I felt as if I were in a movie. Steep, angled spires. Heavy stone beneath your feet. Elegant edifices and archways that are a marvel of design. And the views are breathtaking! The grounds are neat and pristine and there is an expansive grassy area in the rear that abuts the Long Island Sound. This is truly one of the most regal and elegant venues I have been to. read more

Very cool 80,000 square foot mansion (wow), built in 1912 (w/ indoor swimming pool and walk-in refrigerator) that you can now rent for weddings and events. The grounds are beautiful too, w/ big grassy dog park, that extends all the way down the hill to the bay. The mansion used to sit on 135 acres, but portions were sold off, and it is now 34 acres. read more

I am so, so happy we found Coindre Hall when we started planning our wedding. From the moment we drove up the driveway and first saw the Chateau, we knew we wanted to have our wedding here. Getting married at Coindre Hall was like a fairytale. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and we LOVED how the venue took place in different rooms - and how our guests had access to the whole mansion (inside and outside) throughout the night. We did not want to have our wedding in a typical one-room catering hall like most of the Long Island weddings. Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and we can't imagine having it anywhere else other than Coindre Hall. John, the Catering Director and Maitre' D was amazing throughout the entire process. Kind, professional, flexible, and reliable... he was always there to answer all of our questions and accommodate to all of our request. On the wedding day, I completely trusted him to oversee everything and he did an amazing job. To John and Lessings, thank you SO much for making our wedding a dream come true! read more

One of the Gold Coast Mansions this is a nice place to take a stroll, and has alot of people bringing their pets.

Great for a lazy day. Yes, no one follows the rule about all dogs on a leash, but why the heck do you want to bring you dog to a park when he's on a leash?!? Just walk your dog then! After reading some of the nutso reviews about people being mad that dogs run around sans leash I was shaking my head. Of course do not be mad if my dog snaps if he is on a leash and your dog is running around free and comes too close. read more

I have yet to go inside Coindre Hall, however, I have visited the outside area with my dogs. Coindre Hall, when not being used for weddings and other large events, has over 30 acres to explore and let your dogs roam around. There are signs everywhere to keep your dog leashed but no one really does. The land has a bunch of hills as well as some hiking trails. At the bottom of the large hill is a boat house with beach access where your dogs can take a dip. It's truly a great place to come and explore either for a hike by yourself or with your furry friend. There is also a connection from the boat house to the beach next door. Plenty of parking. The Hall itself is absolutely beautiful. Very secluded area so if your dog likes to explore on its own, I suggest you keep it leashed or keep a very watchful eye on it. read more

Here's the Scoop: The Long Island Tasting event was crowded but great. Plenty of delicious bites from local restaurants. Saw many fellow Yelpers here enjoying the food as well. Saw Mike S. there and forgot to take a pic. Aaah! The atmosphere was pleasant but very crowded. Jazz playing in the background as you pilfered through the rooms looking to see what is next to delight your palate. Many wines, liquors, and specialty drinks are being served as well. There's a VIP section for those who bought $65 tickets. An armband is placed on your wrist as you enter. This allows you to sample from each restaurant serving. The menu included: seared salmon, fried octopus, sea scallops, paella, clams, risotto with pork belly, pork tacos, eggplant sautéed, deviled eggs, braised beef over sweet potato soufflé, baby lamb chops, tomato squash salad to name a few. So many aromas as you walked about. The event started at 5:30 and ended at 9. The bathrooms downstairs were one stall but upstairs the bathrooms had multiple stalls. Parking was valet only and the guys were careful, manner able and friendly. Multiple seating arrangements were available throughout the hall also outdoor seating. The second floor had seating and standing rooms. I'm so glad I could attend because it was for a great cause. This hall reminded me of an old castle. Large spacious rooms, lots of nooks an crannies. Check this affair out next year Yelpers if you missed it this time. read more

this place is so dreamy!! I LOVE IT! I went to a yelp event here. this place looks like a castle. winding staircases, beautiful chandeliers, huge windows, multiple balconies, fireplaces, gorgeous mantels am this place is perfect! Its on a super large property and am sure its acres and acres of land. they had valet parking for this event to so we drove right up to the front, looked like something out of a story book, two cylinder castle towers on each side. I was reading about it online and its described as "renaissance, french chateauesque" and i would totally agree. It was built in the early 1900s and it def takes you back to a classy elegant time. Service was great. staff was friendly and prompt in cleaning up miscellaneous plates and cups (as it was a tasting event). Valet was super polite and friendly. other than that everyone else was Yelp staff (which are quite fabulous themselves). We were using the space on the first floor which consisted of about 6 or more rooms, some where large rooms where several tables were for the tasting, and some were smaller rooms which had one thing in them, like photo taking or messages. They had single restrooms which caused a bit of a wait, but had larger restrooms upstairs with multiple stalls, both were super clean (i always mention the restroom because that's important to me....lol) I cant wait to go back and visit The Chateau at Coindre Hall!! read more

If I'm on Ling Island and it's morning, chances are you can find me at Coindre Hall with Mugsy, my seven year old mutt. You'll know it's us because she's the only mutt there. But that's okay. I discovered this place years ago while geocaching. Added bonus was the fact that it's an off leash dog park. Even better? A walk down to the water provides a small doggie beach and Mugsy loves to swim. The grounds are huge and varied and allow for lots of running and playing. There are trails in the woods if you're looking for a more quiet area. I have never had a problem here - everyone is responsible and friendly. read more

Took my dog to the park there for the first time. She loves the wide open spaces. All the other per owners were very conscientious and protective of my dog because she is a puppy.

I imagine that this place was once a mini mansion or something. The outside of the of Coindre Hall and the area around it is beautiful. I was deeply sadden that my phone's camera could not picture its beauty in it entirety no matter how far back I moved. This place is set up really well for catering events. They have a coat check, valet parking, and a kitchen. They have huge rooms where food could be served from. I just wonder what those rooms were used for in the past. There was also real plates and forks. Very classy. read more

I went ot Summer Camp here 2 years in a row back in the 70's. The Fransiscan Brothers take very good care of all the kids that attend. It was a great experience for me. Always something to do.

It was a perfect replacement for Coindre Hall. These two organizations are great places to keep your Child busy all summer long. read more

When I get so caught up with work, I forget how close I really am to amazing places on the water. Thanks to a family tip, I recently came across the dog park at Coindre Hall. My puppy is almost 6 months old and I'm often looking for places for her to release her energy. Even though she was the smallest dog on our first visit, she loved the open fields and meeting new friends. After a walk down the hill, you're on the water forgetting the hustle and bustle 40 minutes away in NYC. The nice weather has arrived, daylight remains later into the day and this short drive is a great place to visit on the weekends or after work during the week. read more

This place is creepy but in a very cool way. When we first drove up to it my friend asked, "Is this night going to turn into some House of Wax type of thing." Luckily, we were there for a Yelp event so no one turned into a wax figure. We just had a lot of yummy food and drinks. This place is in the middle of nowhere and the cell reception is horrible. That kind of adds to the creep factor. Again, in a cool way. This place is fancy and it's big. Lots of nooks and crannies to go exploring in. read more

My daughter had her dream Sweet 16 at Coindre Hall on May 22nd, 2016! When we arrived at the venue she knew this was the perfect spot for her party. John was absolutely amazing in helping Us plan the most perfect party. He was easy to work with and answered any questions we had! We had the mansion 3 hrs before her party and were able to us utilize the suite upstairs to get ready. The day unfolded like a fairytale as we arrived and were greeted by John who helped us carry some things upstairs and watched the dj/entertainment co (Long Island Sound DJ) set up. The staff was extremely attentive and bent over backwards for us. The evening started with a lovely cocktail portion which was expertly set up in the beautiful rooms for the adults and teens. The courtyard and grounds were a perfect back drop for our guests to take photos! The party was a hit and the food was scrumptious! A lot of the teens who don't normally eat at Sweet 16's were going up for thirds!!! Everyone had a fantastic time! My elderly and disabled mother told me that John made her a plate of food and brought it to her. I would highly recommend this gem! I will post pictures! read more

Coindre Hall is pretty much in the middle of no where in Long Island. Its right next a school, near a golf course and in a residential area. It's weird but I really like what you could do with their space. The upper level is quite cozy and comfortable. There are some flaws about this place. Some of the furniture and carpet they use in this place look very out of place. I'm not saying it's ugly, it just doesn't match/fit the ambiance/atmosphere of the interior design of some of the rooms. Another huge flaw is the cell phone service is here is HORRENDOUS! I was lucky if I got 1-2 bars on my phone. 3g and 4g don't work, stuck on 1x or none all night! I was able to use their Wi-Fi and even that was slow. Mobile carriers really need to build a service tower in this area because the reception stinks! Another flaw is that I don't think I came across a restroom on the main floor. It's a bit of a pain to walk up the stairs to use the restroom especially for a Hall that is this big. The main reason I'm writing a review for Coindre Hall is because I came here for a Long Island Yelp event. You could search for "Yelp's Great Friday!" under my reviews. Long story short, if you want to have an event at this hall, whether if its a party, wedding, fundraiser, etc...the interior could use some help. The structure and the architectural design of the exterior and interior dimensions are gorgeous. The interior just has the wrong colors and cheap looking chairs and furniture. If you wanna have a special event here, you're gonna wanna hire a interior decorator to work some of their magic to pretty this place up. On google maps, this place kinda seemed far and out of the way from where I live but the commute wasn't that bad considering that there wasn't that much traffic. I arrived a little early, and decided to drive around the area. It's a cozy small town. There is a state park nearby which has a hiking trail. Verdict - Ain't bad. I won't say that I hate the place but I won't say that I love it either. All I could say is that, it could use a mini make over. read more

Wonderful place to take your dog off leash. been coming here for years without incident. Loads of people there in the spring-summer and fall with their dogs. On winter days after a good snowstorm you will find the hillside crowded with people sledding. Caution: Their is a really grumpy home owner with property bordering the park that frequently makes trouble with the dog owners and has been known to detain dogs that have wondered onto his property. He is also known to call the police during flair-ups and they start issuing off-leash tickets. Steer clear of the homes, keep your leash with you and you will have a wonderful time. Water for the dogs from a hose in the back on Coindre Hall. read more

We were married at Coindre Hall over the summer and it was perfect. Our ceremony in front of the mansion gave guests a chance to enjoy the beautiful grounds before moving inside for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. The inside of the mansion is perfectly designed for a lovely flow allowing guests to explore from one room to the next as the evening unfolds. We loved that we were able to personalize the space with family photos and some of our own decorations. You could almost imagine what it would have been like to attend a party there in the 1920s. The food was excellent, and the chef was able to accommodate the bride's dietary restrictions without compromising on taste or creativity. In addition to being the perfect setting, Coindre Hall boasts a fantastic staff, particularly the maitre d' John. Throughout planning, John was always available to answer questions or provide some helpful guidance. On the big day he kept everything moving at a perfect pace and always made sure that we had something to eat and drink. We used the house preferred vendors and were extremely pleased with them. All of our guests told us that it was one of the best weddings they'd ever attended. We had an absolute ball and are so thankful we chose Coindre Hall. We could not imagine a more perfect day. read more

Just attended a beautiful wedding at Coindre Hall. The wedding ceremony took place under one of the many mature trees on the front lawn. The grounds were immaculate. The food was amazing, as well as the service. The mansion with its historic paint colors and wallpaper and original architecture provided the perfect setting. The separate dance floor allowed guests, who chose to remain at their tables, to converse with one another instead of having to shout at one another. The views of Huntington Harbor were amazing. There were 2 bathrooms on the first floor (male and female) and 2 more on the second floor. The entire mansion was opened to all guests who toured the grounds throughout the evening. If you admire the beauty and majesty of old buildings, Coindre Hall is perfect. We need to continue to preserve these buildings. read more

Absolutely flawless wedding. Outdoor spot is beautiful as is the chateau. I am a huge foodie, and you will not find better food anywhere. I still think of that lobster ravioli and absolutely delicious sit down dinner. The staff (especially John who is outstanding!!) actually delivered food to my husband and me upstairs so that we had a few minutes to relax, eat, and enjoy some quiet time. I also found the European approach (dancing and cake following dinner) made it a more intimate and then fun occasion. I felt like the luckiest person in the world finding Coindre. read more

My sister had a wedding here last summer and it was Terrible!

Food was disgusting .. raw .. and was sent back by numerous members of the wedding party and guests . Matredee was rude to brides mother and imbarrrased her in front of her friends and family. Bride and groom asked for their food to be wrapped so they can bring it home.. never touched it .. guess what no food.. not one morsel...at the cake cutting they never announced to people to sit and get desert and pastry's that were put on table.. no one ate the cake and hundreads of pastry's .. guess what ? Not one wrapped pastry for the bride and groom to take home. I am sure the staff had a great night eating all the things our guest didn't and the bride and groom never got.. I WOULD STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE..I thought the place was beautiful, customer service TERRIBLE!,,very sad it ruined their special day!!! read more
