My husband and I cannot stop talking about how perfect our wedding day was. The staff at the Riverview are amazing!!! They went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests also could not say enough about how delicious the food was and how the drinks kept flowing all night long. Chelsea was our wedding coordinator and she took care of everything and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. We are so beyond grateful for the Riverview and highly recommend this venue. You will not regret it!

I can’t even put into words how special my wedding was thanks to The Lake House (but I’m going to try lol). I found this location on Zola and when I contacted the owner, Paul, it was like speaking to an old friend even though we had never met before. He is so sincere and thoughtful and has the best tips and tricks for wedding planning. I never hired a wedding planner and I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning of my planning process but Paul was there every step of the way for me. He answered all my emails filled with dumb questions and he advised me in the best way. Carole, my wedding coordinator at the venue, was an absolute gem as well and made things so easy. My wedding was 11/16/24 (the last wedding of their season!) and I still have guests telling me how fantastic everything was. Especially the FOOD. I truly dream about the filet mignon and tiramisu we had about twice a week lol. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. I would have my next birthday party here just so I can see Paul and Carole again and eat more of the delicious food lol. The location is GORGEOUS and they truly made my wedding the best night of my entire life.

We had such an incredible experience hosting our wedding at The Waterview! Ariel and Kat were such a pleasure to work with. Kat made sure to keep things on track the day of our wedding and her entire staff made sure anything we needed was taken care of. The venue itself is beautiful and we have received so many compliments on how it was one of the nicest venues many of our guests have ever been to. We were so impressed with the quality of all of our food options and they were so accommodating to any dietary requests we had. The Waterview truly made our special day one we will never forget!

Peconic Bay Yacht Club 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Southold, NY
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $50,000

Inside or out, a wedding at the Peconic Bay Yacht Club is a romantic affair. The manicured grounds and great lawn overlooking the Peconic Bay are ideal for your picturesque ceremony or tented reception. The building offers a variety of venues to accommodate your party’s style and guest list.

I truly don’t even know where to begin because our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more. From start to finish, our experience was absolutely incredible, and there is genuinely not one thing we would change. Hillary and John were truly 10/10. From the very beginning, they made the entire process feel seamless and made us feel so taken care of every step of the way. Their attention to detail, kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for us and our wedding meant more than we can put into words. We always felt like we were in the best hands. Peconic Bay Yacht Club itself is absolutely breathtaking. The property and views are gorgeous, and the building is just as beautiful. Everything is so clean, pristine, elegant, and incredibly well maintained. It was the perfect setting for our wedding and truly gave us that classic, timeless feel we wanted. Even without adding a single decoration, the venue is stunning on its own. The entire staff was amazing. Every single person was attentive, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure not only we were taken care of, but our family and guests were too. The food is something our guests still talk about, it left me speechless. The butternut squash raviolis are an absolute must! Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and so much of that is because of Hillary, John, and the entire team. We were able to be completely present and enjoy every second because we knew everything was being handled behind the scenes. If we could go back and do it all over again, we would choose Peconic Bay Yacht Club a million times over. There is truly nothing we would have done differently. We will forever be grateful for the most perfect wedding day and for everyone who made it so special. Thank you, Hillary, John, and the entire Peconic Bay Yacht Club team, for giving us memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I just got married at this venue on 8/31/25. I was the second wedding after all the renovations made, and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mirian and Meg. If i can rate them & their staff alone it would be 10 stars. They were so attentive, helpful, professional, and kind. They didn’t only treat me (the bride) or the groom this way, they treated everyone with the utmost respect and amazing service. Sofia was in my care, who was the sweetest person and did everything for me that day. Meg was my maître d and she was so attentive and fun to be around. She pulled strings to make sure i got the most insane pictures and i couldn’t be more grateful that i had someone as great as her attending to me and my new husband! Mirian was the head person in charge before the wedding and she made everything so easy! She dealt with my vendors and made everything possible. she made sure my vision came to life and i really appreciate everything she did for me and my fiance as she made it possible. We met with her two weeks before the wedding, she helped me organize everything and even gave me very cute last minute ideas!! Meg and Mirian were the best two people to deal with i recommend anyone getting married here to push for them for their wedding day too. You know you have amazing staff too when your whole wedding and wedding party know them by name and mention that they loved them. The food was TO DIE FOR!! at one point after pictures, meg and sofia made sure me and my husband sat down for a moment to eat, which was super helpful and thoughtful. The food was amazing, everyone complimented it. Everyone raved about how good the meat carving station, seafood and pasta stations were. Everyone raved about the entrees and dessert as well. I cannot wait to go back and visit this place. It was so special, the vibe, overlooking the water. it made my fairytale wedding come to life. It wasn’t only the venue, it was definitely the people who worked there. Mirian and Meg, thank you so very much for making my wedding so memorable for me, my husband, and our whole family.
