The Mansion at Colonial Terrace

Everyone at Colonial Terrace was professional and very friendly. Working with Leon planning the reception for the past 10 months was calming and fun. He is great and we loved working with him. The evening went smoothly and everyone had an amazing time. Food was delicious and the room/cake looked absolutely beautiful. We could not have asked for anything more. I would recommend this venue to anyone for any event...they do a great job!

Would recommend Colonial Terrace to anyone looking to have an awesome wedding and stress free planning. Leon is laid back and promises you the world (and actually delivers). They are accommodating and allow you to drop off reception items at your convenience. We had the most amazing time, our guests haven't stopped talking about the food and the party ... I wish I could fit in this paragraph all that they did. Food was amazing, mansion looked fabulous and all the guests were taken care of.They did a great job of rolling with the punches and seamlessly fixing any issues that jumped up before we even realized there was an issue. Everyone has told us we had the best wedding they have ever been to (including their own) and Leon and Annie deserve most of that credit ... simply amazing!

Everyone at the Colonial Terrace was wonderful and very helpful. Our wedding day went off without any problems, and without any stress. Everything was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was very helpful.I highly recommend them!

Choosing the Colonial Terrace as the site of our wedding reception was the best decision we could have ever made. Not only was the staff courteous and helpful, but they went out of their way to make sure that every detail was perfect and that we had to go to the least amount of trouble to do it. Not only did they open late one night so that we could drop off some of our table favors the week before the wedding, but they were also kind enough to escort us to the highway so that we wouldn’t get lost in the dark. They have genuinely kind and generous people running the Terrace. Furthermore, the hall looked absolutely fabulous, the kosher food that they set us up with was extravagantly delicious, and the planning process was next to painless because of the wisdom and helpfulness of the staff. They truly took our wedding and customized it to us, treating us like the King and Queen of the world. They even let us have the entire premises for the entire day of our wedding so that our caterer could make their kitchen kosher without any interference from another party. I could not have asked for a better party or better people to host it.

Leon, Mary and the entire staff at Colonial Terrace were great. Leon kept telling me not to worry about anything because my day would be perfect, and he was absolutely right. Everyone is still raving about my wedding, they loved the food and enjoyed the ambiance. Leon and his staff helped to give me the wedding of my dreams and I am forever grateful to them. Also, I wanted some traditional Caribbean food like rice and peas and jerk chicken and they did it well. I am Caribbean and so is almost everyone that attended our wedding and for them to love the food, should tell you something about Colonial Terrace. Love, Love...Thanks Leon my fellow UB Alumn.....

My wedding was on June 25, 2011 - which was a little less than a month ago - and people are still RAVING about wedding. The Mansion at the Colonial Terrace is gorgeous and they really know how to throw an amazing party! The food was absolutely delicious, staff was so accomodating to each guests desires and the atmosphere was/is out of this world. We had our wedding ceremony in the gardens which was beautiful! It couldn't of been more perfect!!! If you want an outdoor ceremony - this is the place to do it!Our cocktail hour was under a big tent with several different stations and my guests (young and old) LOVED each selection - and the favorite station of them all (which was mine!) - the infamous mashed potato martini bar with all the toppings of bacon, cheddar cheese, gravy, onions - you name it you got it - in a martini glass!!Reception - I don't know how to explain how AWESOME the reception was!!! We partied like rock stars and the grand ballroom was dressed to impress!!! The details that The Mansion included were breathtaking - they took so much time with making each table perfect down to the ribbon on the napkins! Like I said - its been almost one month since our wedding - and EVERYONE is still talking about what an amazing party The Mansion put together. Not many brides can say they enjoyed their wedding because of the stress that occurs on that day - but I enjoyed every single second! The Mansion makes you feel like royalty - if anything or anyone bothers the bride or groom - The Mansion takes care of it for you which leaves the newlyweds stress free for the whole night!!!Honestly - I would not change a single thing from my wedding! It was absolutely perfect - my dream wedding came true - all because of The Mansion at the Colonial Terrace!Thank You Everyone at The Mansion!!!!!!!!

My high school prom was held at colonial terrace in 1996 (ok so I'm datING myself a bit) and when my husband and I began planning our wedding we knew the atmosphere we wanted for our Indian Summer wedding. After looking at quite a few local venues I remember CT and booked a viewing. After walking the grounds and viewing the ballrooms my husband, the less impulsive of the two of us - loved it immediately! From the start of our wedding planning until the the day after the wedding Leon and his team were AMAZING! We had very specific requests (as most brides and grooms do) and the CT team bent over backwards to accommodate us - from amazing vendor recommendations to tailoring the menu to suit our guests' palattes. I was not at all worried about the quality of the service when we booked since I remember the prom being a hit and everyone enjoying the food - which is usually not the case. Fourteen years later for a more momentous occassion I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say bout Colonial Terrace! Our wedding was a little over a month ago and we are still receiving compliments about the grounds, the service and of course the FOOD! Every thing we selected for the menu was absolutely DELICIOUS! Not ok for what it was - but DELISH! Two weeks before the wedding my mother fell ill and Leon was notified and took extra special care of her as needed on the day of making sure she experienced her daughter's wedding to the fullest despite being slightly under the weather. The sentiment behind that was invaluable. If you are looking for a cookie cutter wedding where the only thing different about your wedding from the last hundred are the faces in the pictures - you can go anywhere if you are looking to see your wedding vision come to life and share your special day amongst family - book with Colonial Terrace!

It was beautiful here and everything went great!

I absolutely love Colonial Terrace. They know exactly what they are doing that makes a perfect wedding day. I took all of their advice and we had the most amazing wedding. With it almost being a year later, everyone keeps telling us how beautiful everything was. Their food was fantastic, the ballroom looked spectacular, and Leon was so nice to work with. Prior to the wedding we visited quite a few times to try the food, discuss decor, and general plans and Leon helped us every step of the way in a respectful and professional manner. Leon also contacted our vendors to make sure everything was to go smoothly. Thank you Colonial Terrace for granting us an unforgettable and perfect wedding day! Brides you will not be disappointed!!!

Leon and the whole Drogy family were terrific. When our venue fell through 12 weeks before the wedding, they were able to accommodate us in every way. No matter what we asked for, the answer was always, "Sure." Is there a place to change on site? Of course, for the whole wedding party, not just the bride and groom. Can you put tea lights on the tables? Of course, how many would you like? Can we use the tented patio and the other patio? Of course, you have the whole place.The day dawned beautiful, and the crew worked wonderfully throughout--directing people, moving people, handing out all our favors, setting up and cleaning up invisibly. The day ended with Leon and his helpers lifting presents down the stairs for us and putting them into cars. Everyone was helpful and cheerful and just a pleasure to work with. Top marks all around.

My family have used this venue in the past with no problem, 3 times other than my wedding. So it was much to my dismay that they failed to deliver on many promises, were careless with my personal items and flat out lied to us. They were very helpful throughout the planning process, promising anything I could dream up. They said we would have the entire place to ourselves... the party before ours ran late, which forced my pictures to begin late and my guests to see me before the wedding. Also they booked another party in the room outside of my ceremony. So, during the middle of my ceremony we heard loud talking and music coming from outside the doors. Because of this last minute booking, they moved my cocktail hour to a room I specifically said I didn't like. Also, I later found out that guests from the other party were enjoying my top shelf open bar. Classy! The worst thing that happened is that when I was unpacking all of the items we had brought for the wedding, I realized someone broke my grandmother's heirloom cake topper and didn't bother to tell me. They just packed it away for me discover without all of the pieces. So now I have an heirloom that is no longer useable. Real Nice! There were a lot of things that went wrong that evening, mainly a lot of over-promising and under-delivering. I have to say, the guests never new all of the bad things that were going on, and the food was great. I was of course devasted after the fact and made it through my wedding night truly happy.

The staff at Colonial Terrace bent over backwards to make our wedding run smoothly. We were even able to drag in boxes of flowers the night before to make centerpieces and one of the owners stayed late so we could finish! The food was FANTASTIC! We are STILL getting compliments on what a great reception it was!

Colonial Terrace was there every step of the way. I was a crazy bride toward the end. They calmed me down and assured me everything would work out. The wedding was beautiful and I would do it again in a heart beat. Jack was amazing, a true professional. I have nothing but the deepest respect and admiration for everything they did and had to put up with.

The thing I appreciated most about Colonial Terrace was their flexibility, my husband is military and his deployments made planning the wedding very hard. We had to keep rescheduling the date, Colonial Terrace was very gracious about this and worked with me until we had the final date ironed out. The day of wedding was very beautiful outside and the owner offered to have the wedding ceremony outside, this had not originally been planned, they set everything up quickly and we had an outdoor ceremony. This really added to the experience and was one of my best memories. People still comment on how lovely that day was.
