This is truly a family-run business, and you can feel the warmth and care from the moment you walk in. They attended to every detail and made sure all of our needs were taken care of throughout the day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. Every room has its own unique style and personality. which gives the entire space such charm and character. It feels elegant and welcoming at the same time. One of my favorite features is the bar area where the men hung out while the ladies where attending the shower. Of course, they joined us later to enjoy the festivities. The bridal shower cake was stunning and looked to be right out of a pastry cookbook. Both beautiful and delicious, created right on the premises. If you are looking for a venue with friendly and exceptional service, check out Travelers Rest!.....

I was very impressed with the room setup, as it was a big room with chandliers, nice tables and chairs, and looked very beautiful for an event. Even had an upstairs part where one can hang out if a person wants to. We met with a person who is no longer working there, but she was very nice. There are lots of options if one is planning a party: there are breakfast/brunch options, a buffet option, and a sit down option.We would have done a sit down option, which included salad, pasta, fish, steak and chicken dishes. (ask for a sit down menu for specifics) Including options like an open bar. She did a good job answering all our questions and concerns.Also just a small feedback, they should have samples of food around so that a person planning the party knows how the food tastes. While we encase our trust in them to make good Salmon for instance, i think it would be benefical for all party planners to know how the food is. We also checked the restroom, which was clean, and was big and roomy. It is also a little more on the expensive side. While we decided on another venue, I really liked this one despite not really being on the water, but having a small waterfall from the view of the window. Maybe good for another event in the future!

This place can be hosted with a number of events of your choice, private party, drama set, you name it, it will happen and be taken care of by the facility. On my first visit, I wasn't expecting it to look so eye appealing, but stepping in sure answered that question. The room is fairly large with plenty of seating and also a balcony with tables along with a bar - pretty cool if you ask me. With it being very crowded, there are two stair wells to move foot traffic along quickly. I like the decorations all around the room, especially the disco balls that were hanging (a big fan of disco, no joke). It's awesome just taking it all in. The room looked very clean for our event, and I highly recommend booking them for any event if your choice. *Parking is provided on the street and also a parking area just east of this building. Also, the Dramatic Hall is located on the 3rd level via elevator or stairs.*

I'm reviewing this venue exclusively as my experience as a guest/vendor…read more Came here for a clients wedding which is also a friend so I got to experience both aspects: being a vendor and enjoying some things as a guest. First off, I have to say this, I've never seen anything like the Dramatic Hall. It sure lives up to its name. Seriously so much drama and it surely is a photographers playground. It was the perfect atmosphere for a Sunday wedding. Can't say enough how much I enjoyed photographing a wedding here. Everything was so royal and "extra" without being too over the top. The lightning truly was my favorite as well as all the industrial/modern feels. Love the disco balls that hang elegantly as well as the two stairs that wrap around. It's such a fun, different space for any occasion but especially for a wedding. Parking's not the best but they have street parking available nearby. Sunday's it's free so that's a plus. If you're looking for a different kind of venue this is your spot. You will love all the drama and fun it has!

If I could give Jefferson on the Lake zero stars, I would. I was a bridesmaid in my friend's…read morewedding this past summer, and unfortunately, it was one of the most poorly managed and unprofessional venues I've ever encountered. Upon arrival--at the exact time we were instructed to be there--there were no staff members on site to prepare the venue. The bride and bridal party were left to figure things out on their own. The tablecloths provided were wrinkled beyond belief, clearly having been stored in garbage bags and not even minimally steamed or pressed for presentation. The outdoor ceremony setup was equally unacceptable. Just 1-2 days prior, the groundskeepers had laid fresh mulch, leaving the entire space smelling strongly of manure. Guests had to endure the odor while watching the bride walk down the aisle flanked by dollar-store-quality fake flowers. To make matters worse, a large hole in the fencing behind the ceremony site--clearly visible to guests--was brought to the venue's attention at the rehearsal and the bride and groom specifically asked that it be repaired. It never was. It remained a major eyesore in every ceremony photo. Staff finally arrived about an hour before the wedding began. But instead of helping with critical last-minute details like steaming linens or assisting the bridal party, they chose to focus on washing down the walkways to remove an excessive amount of goose feces. Despite their efforts, the droppings remained in many areas--causing stains on dresses and even trapping the bride's veil to the ground during her entrance. Shockingly, the staff also thought it was appropriate to begin painting walls--yes, painting--just minutes before the bridal party was supposed to walk down the aisle. It was a last-ditch effort to cover up the deteriorating condition of the venue and left everyone speechless. It may sound exaggerated--but I truly wish I were making this up. The cocktail hour was just as chaotic. Bar lines were incredibly long due to a lack of experienced bartenders, and appetizers were served without plates--only napkins. Among a very limited spread of cheese and crackers sat a random bowl of chocolate Raisinettes, seemingly tossed in from a bulk container at BJ's. All of these issues combined took away from what should have been joyful moments. The bride and groom lost nearly an hour of their scheduled photography time due to these preventable mistakes and delays. No couple should have to endure this level of unprofessionalism on their wedding day. Jefferson on the Lake has a long way to go if it wants to be taken seriously as a wedding venue. I strongly urge future couples to reconsider booking here.

Our son Jacob married the love of his life, Danielle, whom we LOVE, on August 21st, a Friday evening wedding and it was SPECTACULAR ! This establishment runs like a well oiled machine and as business owners in the area for over 50 years, we know what that is ! We were treated like a family member from the start and it only got better and better as the months grew closer to the one of the most important days of our families lives. Our daughter Jessica was in the wedding party which made it even more special. Everyones (our guests) pictures came out awesome and looked like a professional took them, because of all the beautiful back drops and high-end decor the interior offers. The food and service was amazing. We waited for nothing. The price was very reasonable, in fact the most affordable out of every place we visited in Westchester and Putnam Counties, and the location was perfect, especially for the weary travelers coming in from California and Virginia, as we live in Mahopac and wanted to put them up with our surrounding families homes in the area and invite them to an after party on Saturday at our home . All perfection! We cannot recommend Villa Barone Hilltop Manor any higher !! They delivered in every way and made Jacob and Danielles wedding one that will be talked about for months to come. Thank you Nick and Staff for delivering everything you promised and more. Our Maitre d' was #1, he ran the show that evening seamlessly. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, as we are so happy for the memories and Jake and our beautiful new family member Danielle, to start them off on this new chapter in their lives with smiles and pride and 5 star memories of their magnificent wedding day, filled with so much love, family and friends to witness at this Incredible Venue. Our guests will continue to spread their 5 star reviews to all their friends and families. With so much graditude, Krissie and Jay Hansmann

For that party experience complete with private dressing room before your big event, very nice…read moretable service and food, this space is perfect for any occasion. Oozing pillar bliss, this Villa Barone, (not to mistake this as the location in Throggs Neck) offers the most sought-after destination for meetings, weddings, social events- even hubs' grand niece's Sweet 16th we attended on a rainy Sunday. This Mahopac location has a grand bar as you enter and several function rooms that you can book and customize to suit your event based on your party size. The girl's family picked a room for about 100 people comfortably with adequate space to fill large oblong tables on each side of the room and a dance floor in between. The family brought their own decorations to zhusz up the space to their liking. Food options looked fresh and the fish in lemon sauce rocked big time. Simple, but for a party hall, it was done right and so was everything else that was hand-served buffet-styled. The family picked this space for a reason because they feel it's a radiant and beautiful space that made their event a hit.
