Cortlandt Colonial

Evan was AMAZING!! He was unbelievably helpful throughout the entire process. The food was delicious but the service is what impressed me the most. The staff were all super considerate. The Price was incredible as well.

Cortlandt Colonial was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire process of planning our wedding and for the wedding day itself. So many of our guests have told us how much they loved the food and how impressed they were with the quality from cocktail hour through dinner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Cortlandt Colonial!!

When we were searching for a venue, we wanted to be the only wedding at the time. Evan and his staff at Cortlandt Colonial were awesome! Evan is great and works with you during every step of the way. He is great at keeping you stress free and at customizing your wedding. There was a certain appetizer i wanted during cocktail hour and Evan made it happen. We were having my friend sing our wedding song and once again there was no problem and everything was all set when we got there. The food here is so delicious and to die for. Consistent every time we visited the restaurant. Their wedding packages are affordable and the best value for your money in the entire westchester country area. I can wait to have other milestone parties here!

Me and My husband got married in June of 2011. We struggled with finding a venue due to our budget. A friend recommended Cortlandt Colonial. We fell in love with the place right away. Evan was amazing with making sure we were organized and had everything that we needed for our special day. He was always available when we needed him, and always called us back in a timely manner. On our day, the staff was amazing and everything went so smooth. My husband and I did not feel stressed or disorganized the whole day, we knew the staff had everything under control. Our friends and family still talk about how great the food was and how great the service was. They still can't believe how much we got for the price we got it at. If you want a great place to get married and know that you will have a stress free day, we highly recommend Cortlandt Colonial!!

My husband and I could not have asked for a more memorable day. Evan, together with his family and staff, went above and beyond to ensure that our May 2011 ceremony and reception were absolutely amazing! The very first night we met Evan while having dinner at the restaurant and got an impromptu tour of the ballroom, pavilion and garden area we decided this was where we wanted to have our wedding. The quality of food, service and attention to detail we received for a package that was within our budget is unbelievable. Working with Evan made the planning process stress-free; he streamlined what we needed, made suggestions along the way and even recommended the florist he had used for his own wedding. Seriously, we got a caterer, wedding planner and day-of-coordinator all in one. When the day finally arrived, we were confident everything was under control. Even though there was a chance of rain, we had no worries knowing Evan would track the weather minute-by-minute on his iPad. It makes a big difference when you trust who you are working with to make any last minute decisions/changes that may be necessary in case any unexpected things come up. Thankfully, the day turned out beautiful. Evan worked with all the vendors making sure the day ran smoothly. As I walked down the aisle, I was delighted to see the beautiful flowers planted in the garden area. The garden and waterfall added another dimension to the backdrop for our day. And most importantly – the FOOD was delicious. We had a couple of additions to our cocktail hour and dessert table to reflect our Hispanic/Portuguese backgrounds. My family and friends could not stop commenting on the cocktail hour, dinner selections, the option for seconds and a chance to taste all three entrees offered. Our guests also enjoyed the late night dessert hour and international coffee table under the pavilion with intimate tables set up under the waterfall. It was the perfect end to a perfect night. We look forward to celebrating many anniversaries, family celebrations, holidays and even casual nights out at Cortlandt Colonial for years to come.

Evan/George, thank you so much for the personal attention given for all of our weddings. Aimee's in May 2011 was the final wedding done by you. This includes others back in Dec.2009 Amanda's and ours in 2001. Which in 2001 my daughters being in my wedding back then chose to have there receptions there to years later. Which no alternate place was a consideration for either daughters. the best part is one wedding goes on at a time and FULL attention is on the brides wants and needs. The service was beyond expectations. The food was outstanding. The coctail hour unlimited with such variety. There was not a limit to what you did for us all. 2 weddings/receptions were held in your gardens were beautiful and the property was so pretty. The personal care for all of us was outstanding to make all weddings a memorable...thank you from the bottom of our hearts...Charles n Donna

I had my wedding at the Cortlandt Colonial Ballroom in April of 2011. I have to say that my year was filled with tragedy, turmoil and disarray. Planning a wedding just added to list of stressful items. Evan made the process simple and painless. He listenened, made suggestions and alterations to make and my husband happy. The best of it all was my wedding day. A day which is usually filled with chaos was smooth and calm. From the beginningto the I and my guest were totally taken care of. Evan's dad George and all the other staff made the day unforgettable for me and my guest. They let me know all the details a bride should know but are unsure of, cocktail hour was fit for a princess, dinner was like eating at the Waldorf (they asked my guest if they wanted seconds. The place was beuatiful on the inside and out. The waterfall was a big hit and looked phenominal in pictures. I am so very greatful for Evan, George and the rest of their staff. I had a wedding i was proud of. They helped make my dreams come true. A wedding day is something you can never get back. Because of them i can look back on my day with my husband and smile. I recommend Cortlandt Colonial Ballroom for their expertise, class, experince and BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. Samantha Ford-Godette

Evan is a great guy. Professional staff. Food was GREAT!

Evan Liaskos, the owner of Cortlandt Colonial was excellent. He went above and beyond. He far exceeded my expectations. He talked to us like we were individuals and not like we were a business deal. he repeatedly asked us what we wanted and how we wanted it done. He gave excellent recommendations for a dj and photography. Evan was very flexible with his time. Even if he was busy with another client he would seat us in the dining room and be sure we had something to drink while we waited. His staff was also very professional and courteous. I also liked how he had us do a food tasting before we made our deposit.

SPECTACULAR!!!!. I highly recommend anyone to this establishment for any special occassion. Everyone of my guest was in awe and most important the food was AMAZING!!!!. Evan Liaskos (chef/owner) he was very helpful and honest. It is rare that you meet business people that are honest, because they are about making a dollar. Evan Liasko was not about making a dollar he gave me good insight and also directed me to what I was looking for. The staff at Cortlandt Colonial were beautiful people. They were kind and efficient. Me and my husband had stated that any future event would only be done at Cortlandt Colonial.

The owner of Cortlandt Colonial, Evan is amazing! My husband and I had such a great experience working with him and the staff at cortlandt colonial. Everyone was great and very accomodating! Evan worked with us to make sure that our day went smoothly and it was better than expected. The food is delicious and our guests are still raving about how seconds were served!! Cortlandt Colonial is the only place that we know of that serves its guests seconds! Most people said that they were so stuffed from the cocktail hour they didn't have much room left to finish their dinner. I have to say....we got a great deal and we got so much for what we paid. During the reception the staff was very attentive to my husband and I getting us drinks and food when we were walking around greeting our guests and taking pictures. My husband and I were very happy with everything!! I would recommend cortlandt colonial to anyone!! You will not be disappointed!

Working with Evan was a wonderful experience! He was always available to review plans and take questions whenever I called. His team made my wedding AWESOME. The food was great and people still talk about the enormous amounts we served. I would definitely recommend Cortlandt Colonial to any couple on a budget not willing to sacrifice quality.

Cortlandt Colonial Thank You , for everything you guys are the best.

We knew as soon as we met with Evan that this was the place for us. The setting is beautiful, the food is wonderful and Evan is a pleasure to work with. We felt so comfortable with Evan and knew that we were in good hands.He made sure that all of our needs were met and did so with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. As far as the food, what can I say?? It's amazing and we received so many compliments. Every course was better than the next and our Viennese table for dessert was absolutely amazing. We had the most amazing reception at CC and everything turned out perfect!!

The Cortlandt Colonial provided excellent service and made our wedding perfection! Everyone was very helpful, the price per person was very reasonable and the food was delightful and exceeded everyone's expectations. We would highly recommend this Venue to all future brides!

Evan and the entire staff were amazing. They made our special day extra special. They day went off with out a hitch. Evan was very attentive and over saw every aspect of everything from posing us for pictures to accomodating every guests needs. The food was delicous and they offered seconds of everything. Our other vendors even said how great and easy everyone there was to work with. If we could we would give all 10's and we will definitly use them for all our future needs. As a side note they are great to pop into any night for a great romantic diner!!!

my husband & I were married at the CC on May 22,2009. Evan and his staff did an amazing job, they went above and beyond all of our expectations. From our first meeting, Evan patiently answered questions and when we decided to go with CC, he helped us thru every step of the planning process. We had our ceremony performed in the garden and it was perfect, the gazebo is a lovely place to get married. The cocktail hour food was so good, there was too much of it, us & our guests were very pleased. The seated dinner was amazing, usually wedding food is only ok, but our food was just like it was at the tasting, we are still talking about how great it was. Everyone was floored as the wait staff walked around during the dinner course offering guests seconds or the option to try another main course meal!! Evan was there every step of the way on our special day and we couldnt have done it without him, he coordinated all the vendors, directed guests, and even kept coming into the bridal suite to check on us! I would recommend the Cortlandt Colonial to every couple who want a great wedding, excellent food, and an unbelieveable bang for your buck!

Evan treated me and my husband like family. Evan and his staff were warm, professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to make our special day, the most memorable and happiest day of our lives. We still have our wedding guests tell us that our wedding at Cortlandt Colonial, was one of the most elegant and joyous receptions that they have attended. Everyone told that the food was delicious. And it was. For a couple who are on a budget, Cortland Colonial is the best place to have your wedding. We were so happy to work with Evan; he made our dreams into a reality.

My husband and I recently got married here. The wedding package we got was very affordable, even with an open bar and an international coffee table with espresso, cappuccino and cookies. The wedding cake was included in the package and made by a local bakery, Home Style Desserts, who did a great job. I was unsure of how things would go until the wedding day itself, since sometimes the catering hall manager, Evan, could be somewhat hard to reach. However, when it came to the day itself, we had his full attention and that of the staff. They bent over backwards to make the day as special and as close to perfect as possible. The venue itself is lovely. There is an outdoor area for ceremonies, with a little waterfall and a gazebo. It is great for pictures. As it was November and pretty chilly out, we opted to have our ceremony under the heated awning. That seemed to work out very well. I don't think our guests were cold, though I am not sure they'd tell me about it if they were! I know that I wasn't cold, and I am very sensitive to cold. The chairs were set up perfectly, and the ceremony looked--and was--beautiful. After the ceremony was a fabulous cocktail hour with plenty of food. Everything from seafood to veggies to meatballs, and those cute "food animals" that Alyssa mentioned. Food was delivered to me and my husband in the bridal suite so we could have some time alone before wandering into the cocktail hour to mingle with our guests. Dinner was fantastic. They made cream of pumpkin soup at our request, and it was more delicious than we'd expected. I have dietary restrictions, so they made me a special chicken marsala. We were able to offer our guests several meal options that they did not have to sign up for ahead of time, which was a definite plus. We had a meat option, a chicken option and a fish option, as well as vegetarian options available upon request. No one has complained to me about the food yet. ;) Evan was very helpful to us, offering good suggestions for a local salon and local florist when we spoke with him before the wedding, and tending to my needs and those of my guests during the wedding. His sister, Irene, was also very helpful. The staff was very nice and friendly and attentive. The bakery messed up by not delivering a special cake they'd made for me and my groom with a wheat-alternative flour (we had "normal" wedding cake for our guests, but we were supposed to have a different one for ourselves that I could actually eat). To make up for it, Evan prepared a gigantic dessert tray for me with rice pudding, Jell-O, and fresh fruit. I barely had time to eat it, but I appreciated it so much! These folks are a class act, at an amazing price for the Westchester area. I recommend them very highly.
