Douglaston Manor

What Douglaston Manor does

Douglaston Manor, legally 'The Douglaston Manor,' is an independently operated event venue located at 6320 Commonwealth Blvd in the Douglaston enclave of Queens, New York. The business is anchored by a Mediterranean-style mansion built in 1866 on a 132-acre estate historically associated with the Hicks family. The property operates as a single-location, full-service hospitality venue offering wedding ceremonies and receptions, elegant private parties, holiday celebrations, and corporate meetings and retreats, with accompanying in-house gourmet catering via customizable menus and dedicated service staff available seven days a week.

The underlying 'product' is the historic estate itself: rooms, grounds, and groundside amenities configured as event backdrop, with no proprietary software platform or technology stack disclosed. Supporting distribution is built on a WordPress website, organic social media presence across Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, and listings on wedding-industry aggregators The Knot and WeddingWire. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer: prospective clients reach the venue via phone ((718) 224-8787) or website contact form to schedule tours and book events.

The revenue model is per-event with per-person pricing (Spring Special rates of $88-$98 per person disclosed publicly), supplemented by ancillary fees such as optional exclusive bridal access. Customer segments span four use cases—weddings (primary), corporate events, holiday events, and elegant private parties—all served from a single physical asset in the Queens/Long Island metropolitan area. The operation is staffed by approximately 12 employees and is privately held with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, parent company, or acquisition activity.
