The Sanctuary team was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish! The venue itself is…read moreabsolutely stunning, with so many beautiful spaces to use like the pier, the tented area, the cocktail patio, and the church. Having three bridal suites upstairs was such a bonus, and the parking lot made things easy for vendors coming and going. From the start, Amelia was so detail-oriented during our initial tour and allowed us unlimited site visits, which was incredibly helpful for planning. Midway through, our main contact switched to Arthur, who was amazing, so sweet, accommodating, and customer-focused. Frank was wonderful as well, even granting us three extra hours of venue access and allowing us to ship a large mirror ahead of time, which was such a huge help and greatly appreciated. On the day-of, Arthur and Kat were the main on-site coordinators and they were incredible. I did hire a third-party, day-of coordinator and I don't regret this, as it helped give me peace of mind to ensure everything stayed on track! Honestly, the entire staff went above and beyond. My guests raved about the bartenders, especially the bald gentleman everyone loved (I am sorry I didn't catch his name) and the wait staff were so attentive and kind. Guests with dietary restrictions felt especially taken care of thanks to their thoughtfulness. I didn't catch everyone's name, but I do remember one person named Rafael was soooo sweet and was very attentive. Overall, I have noticed they have excellent staff retention (many of their staff have worked there for many years). That alone makes me happy and made me feel comfortable booking them. And the food... wow. From hors d'oeuvres to the grazing board to late-night pizza, everything was delicious. I received so many compliments, which is VERY rare for wedding food! I didn't eat much that night, but The Sanctuary kindly packed us (a LOT) of steak to-go, and my wife and I devoured it at 3 a.m. It was incredible. I ate that steak for lunch the two days following our wedding! At the end of the night, one of the staff members even helped us load our personal belongings into the Lyft, which they absolutely had no obligation to do. I truly cannot recommend this venue enough. It's a hidden gem that doesn't nickel-and-dime like other places and truly values building great relationships with their couples. If you're considering The Sanctuary, I would ABSOLUTELY book it!

Our guests raved about the top notch service, excellent (and bountiful food), cocktails, and the spectacular views. To anyone looking to get married there, we had 150 guests and the space was perfect for that number. The tented dinner area was comfortably yet still intimate and the sanctuary lounge offered ample space for the dance party to end the night. Also, there is a parking lot the venue utilizes with spots for about 30 cars which was a big help! In addition to the Sanctuary's support, what helped our big day was having an outside coordinator and being very prepared ourselves.

The officiant, Donna Marie, was really nice and accommodating. The place is this tiny room, in what seems like a maze of a building, but it was so intimate and cozy. The place was clean and the officiant complied with all the Covid regulations so we didn't have to worry about that. We did the "sign and smile" package and it costs $75. Quick, easy, and simple. We were in and out in maybe 15 minutes. The officiant also mails out the signed document which saves us time and hassle. I would recommend this business to anyone who are looking for an officiant for their marriage ceremony. Thank you for your service!

Real talk, I researched a year in advanced, priced out every venue for my daughter's Sweet 16th birthday and the minute I stepped into the Manor I knew I was done looking. The elegance, space, staff, accommodations, and price are unsurpassed. People take it from me I know value when I see it. The location is safe and impressive as well. Most venues near the city are triple the price and after your event your guests are left fending for themselves in unsafe, isolated locations. The Astoria Manor provides security throughout your event, the catering staff is on point, and keeps your event running on time. True Professionals, especially my catering manage Angie, who took care of every detail and kept me informed throughout. I saved the best for last, Mr. Vicente Rojel, Managing director, is the man to see. I relied on him for everything considering my tight budget, he made it all happen.

The Manor is impressive and the rooms are massive and extremely well kept. The price was well within my budget. I can't say enough about the catering Manager Angie. She handled everything with a calm and professional flare, the catering team also work together like clock work. I started researching a year prior and saw other venues twice or triple the price which didn't include food, a cake, appetizers, or a signature non alcoholic drink specially made for the event. Everything I asked for was delivered with such grace. I recommend the Astoria World Manor with ultimate confidence. You will not regret it!!!! Now a little about the cake my daughter requested, it was made to order, three tier, hand designed, tasted heavenly, and most importantly was included in the price. That was truly a bonus. My guests are still talking about the elegant, fun filled, unforgettable evening we shared at the Astoria World Manor. Don't Miss Out!!!

She is a true professional who brings the energy & enthusiasm & poise. She worked closely with us across many virtual meetings to ensure our ceremony included everything we wanted and nothing we didn't. By the time we got to the ceremony, I felt like Hope had a really good sense of the both of our personalities and that made it all the more special. Hope guided us through 5 or 6 revisions of our public vows, providing firm yet constructive criticism on each individual one. Many of our guests have highlighted our vows as the most beautiful part of the evening, which was a vision we outlined to Hope right from the start. Hope made sure we were grounded and walked us through a short meditation right before the ceremony. She ensured that we were fed after returning from photography during our cocktail hour (see 3rd picture). And she took care of our marriage license with no issues.
