As couples start touring venues for their wedding day, oftentimes a delicious menu is at the top of their ‘must-have’ lists. Is the food good? What are the cocktail hour options? What is unique about their dishes? With award-winning executive chef Tom Gloster in the kitchen, couples should run to The Lannin, a BOLI preferred vendor, and book their wedding. “We have an elevated a la carte experience in catering,” said co-owner Elias Trahanas. The best part? You don’t have to take our word that the food is good – you can enjoy a meal at their on-premise restaurant, The Union, where Gloster is always creating culinary masterpieces.
The Lannin is located in the heart of Nassau County at the Eisenhower Park Golf Course, inside the former home of The Carltun. It is under new ownership, and has been completely renovated to offer brides a bespoke experience on their wedding day.

Unique Cocktail Hour Stations
Culinary excellence takes center stage at The Lannin’s cocktail hour. With two distinctive stations, you and your guests will find it hard to save room for the main course. One of the highlights is the sushi station, where an in-house sushi chef hand-rolls fresh sushi right before your eyes. “Our sushi chef prepares each roll on the spot during cocktail hour,” said Trahanas. Equally impressive is the Tomahawk steak carving station. “The steaks are displayed hanging,” Trahanas explained. “As guests approach, the chef expertly carves the meat, offering a tantalizing taste. It’s always a crowd favorite.”

Exceptional Dishes
Gloster and his team of culinary experts craft seasonal menus that showcase only the finest and freshest ingredients. Among their standout offerings is a timeless favorite: filet mignon, guaranteed to impress. “Our meats are sourced exclusively from Prime Foods,” Trahanas assures. “So brides can trust they’re serving top-tier, aged cuts.” For seafood lovers, the seared branzino and grilled salmon are equally enticing, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. Every course is a culinary journey, transporting your guests to the exotic origins of each dish and ensuring they leave utterly satisfied.
Don’t Forget Dessert
Make sure to save room for dessert, because The Lannin’s sweet offerings are a perfect finale to an unforgettable meal. Delight your guests with an array of decadent desserts, including classics like a beautifully-layered wedding cake, hand-crafted by expert pastry chefs. For those with a penchant for variety, indulge in a lavish dessert station featuring a selection of mini pastries, fresh fruit tarts and velvety mousse cups. And for a touch of nostalgia, consider adding a warm, gooey chocolate fondue fountain with an assortment of dippable treats. Each dessert is a masterpiece, crafted to satisfy every sweet tooth and provide a fitting ending to your culinary journey at The Lannin.
