“Choosing 360 East at Montauk Downs as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. From the start, their communication style was incredibly accommodating, responsive, helpful, and kind. Hailee, who manages the venue, was a true powerhouse - she had a smile on her face the entire night and it was clear she loves what she does. The staff was equally as great, ensuring the whole planning process was a breeze and our special day could not have been more perfect. The quality of their work and value was stunning - the venue was beautifully managed, the food was incredible, and they had amazing in-house vendors that provided great service. We couldn't recommend 360 East at Montauk Downs more highly to any couple looking for an incredible wedding experience.”

“To say Emily and the team at GBC made our dreams come true is an understatement. From the moment we met, we were immediately impressed with her positive attitude, attention to detail, and organization. We fell in love with the venue initially, but now upon reflecting, it was the collective efforts of the staff of Galilee Beach Club that we will forever cherish and appreciate for the rest of our lives. Emily patiently listened and worked hard throughout the entire process, answering endless emails from me, while collaborating with Chris the general manager, Chef Rob, and the rest of her event staff to make all of our ideas come to life. Emily’s planning meetings along the way were focused, thorough, and super informative. She made time (even during her hectic season) for us, always. We trusted her completely with our vision and she knocked it out of the park. For me, I was in awe of her attention to the little things… the plate of hors douerves delivered to the bridal suite for us right after the ceremony, the signature drinks in our toasting flutes during dinner, the floating candles she suggested for the sweetheart table, right down to Emily locating our missing marriage license moments before the ceremony! She did it all with grace and ease. I could trust Emily and her team to set up all of the decor without an ounce of worry and on top of the beautiful set-up, Emily and her team packed up everything (and I mean everything!) into my car that night which truly was an unbelievable service. Chris, the General Manager, was our officiant and he was incredible. We had only met Chris a handful of times before we got married, but we felt as if he was one of our good friends. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. And the food! Everything was out of this world. Multiple guests claimed the short rib was the best they ever had. Chef Rob’s seared tuna steaks were prepared to perfection, even impressing a room full of tuna fisherman, which is certainly not an easy feat! The Galilee Beach Club was a warm, welcoming, highly professional, full service, simply spectacular place to get married. Our wedding surpassed our wildest dreams, which was undoubtedly the result of the hard work and long hours put in by Emily, Chris, Rob and the rest of the event staff at GBC. As two native Rhode Islanders and Galilee locals, we could not have had a more perfect setting for one of the most memorable days of our lives. We are forever grateful to have worked with such a remarkable team.”

“Harbor lights was everything we could have asked for when it came to our wedding day! Julia was fabulous to work with and was very responsive and patient with all of our needs and questions. She was always quick to help or give her professional opinion and never once made me (the bride) feel like any question was too small or silly. Everything about our day ran smoothly and everything turned out STUNNING! The one hitch to our day (an agitated golfer) was promptly taken care of and corrected by management. Since our wedding, guests have told us they are still thinking about how beautiful harbor lights is and how amazing our wedding was. My husband and I could not recommend harbor lights enough!”

“OceanCliff Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, the staff, especially Alison and Taylor, were incredibly responsive and great listeners as we planned our special day. The venue itself is open, stunning water views, breath taking sunsets and beautifully appointed with fireplaces that created a warm and cozy atmosphere. We got married last month, January, and our guest could not stop telling us how much they loved the fireplaces and views. I chose this venue because of the fireplace, views, and chandeliers. I scheduled our ceremony during the sun set and it was more than I could have ever expected. The food was amazing, and the entire team worked efficiently to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I did add the clam chowder and clam cakes to our cocktail hour and all the guests have raved about how good the clam cakes were! In my opinion they are better than Iggy’s. Yes, I said that! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage. I highly recommend doing the ceremony and taking pictures during the sunset! We highly recommend OceanCliff Hotel to any couple looking for a stunning backdrop and attentive service for their wedding. Pick this venue now! This is your sign! :)”

“I attended Camp JORI for many years as a camper, staff member, administrator, and volunteer. Camp JORI is such an amazing camp, helping with scholarships for families that can’t afford it while providing the same amazing experience for all children. Camp JORI is not only an amazing camp, but is truly a home away from home for me and many other alumni and current campers. I love Camp JORI so much that my wife and I decided to have our wedding there! It was the most magical day of our life and getting to spend it at Camp JORI’s beautiful property was not only heartwarming, but amazing to marry the person I love most at the place that feels the most like home to me.”

“From our first conversation with Lauren at Gardiner House, we knew we had found the right venue. She and her team were incredibly responsive to every question we threw at them about hosting a May wedding in New England, especially when it came to planning an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour with unpredictable weather. What impressed us most was how they truly understood the vibe we wanted—they anticipated that our guests would want to dance and grab drinks easily, and designed the space to make that happen seamlessly. Even though we were at the high end of their guest capacity, Lauren offered creative layouts and solutions that made everyone comfortable and kept the energy flowing all night long.

“Definitely recommend! We eloped and then just had a little sunset cruise celebration reception on the Lexington and it was wonderful. Olivia L was so helpful and the crew onboard really made the night special. The views from the harbor were incredible and everyone had a great time :)”

“We couldn't have asked for a better venue than the Schooner Liberty Clipper. From start to finish, the team was helpful, responsive, and genuinely kind—they made us feel taken care of every step of the way. They went out of their way to accommodate our older guests, helped us create a special cocktail, and even provided a quiet space for us to get ready before the big moment. The boat itself was absolutely gorgeous and looked exactly as described online. Our guests couldn't stop taking photos because the backdrop was just phenomenal, and honestly, it's such a unique experience being out on the water that everyone was talking about it for weeks after. We'd recommend the Schooner Liberty Clipper to any couple looking for something truly special.”

“The Mansion at West Sayville is a gorgeous venue inside and out, and we’re so happy we chose it for our wedding. We loved the vibe from our first visit. It doesn't feel like a wedding factory, but being a Lessing's Venue you know they know what they are doing. Bob was down to earth, practical, and never tried to upsell us or pressure us into adding anything we didn’t need. Anytime I emailed Bob with a question, he responded within minutes and was always very on top of things. On the day of, everything about the wedding itself went so smoothly. Ann Marie the maitre d and Camille the bridal attendant were sweet, attentive, and so good at what they do. They set up our decor so beautifully and packed it away in an organized way at the end of the wedding. Ann Marie kept everything running smoothly, and Camille made sure we always had whatever we wanted, from food and bar drinks to our own pitcher of water when she noticed we were “the most hydrated couple she’d ever worked with” (lol). The bartender and all of our waitstaff were so attentive and wonderful too. The food was delicious and we got so many compliments about it, and about our venue in general. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable and The Mansion at West Sayville played a huge role in that!”

“My husband and I booked this venue before all of the renovations were completed, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Our wedding was truly a dream come true. The venue was absolutely breathtaking, and the coastal wedding vibe we envisioned came to life perfectly. From the very beginning, the entire team was wonderful to work with, especially Mirian. She made the planning process incredibly organized, seamless, and stress-free. Mirian ensured that every detail was considered and went above and beyond to help us create our dream wedding. She coordinated with our vendors, accommodated our requests, and worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and for making our special day possible. The food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about it! The short rib was phenomenal, and the mashed potato station was a huge hit. From cocktail hour to dinner and dessert, every option was delicious and beautifully presented. We received countless compliments on the food and overall experience. The venue was also extremely accommodating, particularly when it came to dietary needs, which meant a lot to us and our guests. A special thank you to both Mirian and Joe for their dedication and genuine care throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue or team to help us celebrate one of the most important days of our lives. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning location, exceptional service, and an unforgettable wedding experience.”

“From our first conversation, the team at Barker House by Wedgewood Weddings understood exactly what we wanted for our day and made it happen. They held our appetizers and pulled us aside after the ceremony for a quiet moment together, which felt so personal and thoughtful. When we arrived at the venue, the setup was even more stunning than we'd imagined—they truly elevated every detail. The staff communicated with us throughout the planning process and stayed responsive to all our questions.

“We had our wedding at Woods Hill Pier 4 a few weeks ago. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. I will start with the event coordinator, Hilary. She was awesome! Seriously, if the owners are reading this, she deserves a raise! Months and months of emails and phones calls with Hilary going over every detail of our day with her. She was so helpful and knowledgeable about everything. So professional and prompt with responses and if she didn’t know the answer she would find out and get right back to us. Hilary made our planning easier and I can’t thank her enough. We planned on having our ceremony outside, however, the weather did not allow it. I was very nervous that the turn over from ceremony to reception was going to be a disaster. I was completely wrong. The staff had that restaurant turned over in the blink of an eye. We didn’t want a traditional wedding. We had a quick 15 minute ceremony and no sit down dinner at the reception. We wanted more of a big cocktail party with passed apps and a couple food stations. We wanted our guests to be dancing and mingling more and to be able to eat when they wanted to. The service was outstanding. No one had to wait for a drink and the passed apps made it around to everyone. The food was amazing!  Our guests are still talking about it. The truffle gnocchi was a favorite, as well as the lobster popovers. We also had a raw bar which everyone loved too. We bought out the restaurant for the night, I believe 180 people was the max. Everything was perfect, I highly recommend having any event here. Between the staff, the food, and the location, you cannot go wrong.”

“Can't recommend the Haley Mansion enough!!! Besides being absolutely stunning (there are 10,000 amazing places for you and your guests to take pictures), the staff was phenomenal. Joe, Sue, Zac, and Kendra (and others!!) took amazing care of us. I feel like I literally had no thoughts and no stress the day of my wedding because they handled so much. They are so kind, easy-going (but on top of stuff), attentive, and think of everything. The process of booking, planning, etc. was so fun and easy. They are very flexible with the space and let you make everything your own while providing really helpful guidance. It's soooo nice that your guests can stay on site at the Inn and you can have an after party at the Rocks 21 restaurant. Nobody likes a shuttle/uber!! Multiple people told me it was the best organized wedding/after party they've been to. The food is good!! We got a lot of compliments on the food (recommend the lobster bisque!), which I feel is uncommon at a large wedding venue.”
