This is a tough review. My guests loved the reception here at the Bungalow Club. The manager of the night (Omar?) was awesome. He allowed us to dance the night away until 1am on a Sunday/Monday morning and didn't skip a beat when my guests were so drunk that they kept dropping wine glasses on the floor. The bartenders and service staff were exceptional! Most of the food was excellent - I'd say the appetizers are the best and they really do keep them flowing.
The troubles came on the planning end. I think Anat the owner was overwhelmed with too many weddings. She?s nice enough and wants to do a good job but you have to really remind and stay on top of what you want from her. Little things like ? we wanted the staff to bring out sliders and fries late in the evening, as she has done at other weddings. This didn?t happen. They came out instead at cocktail hour. Then there was the day of decorating. She did not properly guide us through when to make this happen. I told her my friends would be there at a certain time, and they were. She was not. They tried calling her and she didn?t pick up ? day of! So they started prepping flower arrangements outside. Once I called her, and she got my voicemail (why didn?t she take the Bride?s call? ☺ ) she had one of her workers open the door and let my friends in. Things were not set up like they were supposed to be. Thank god I have the most amazing friends who were late to the ceremony because they were setting up the reception space!
For the money, it was still worth it. But be very, very clear about what you want and think about hiring your own day-of wedding coordinator to make sure it is a smooth transition. I?m deeply indebted to my friends!

I really did love this venue when I first saw it! It was everything I wanted; something different, unique, and would need minimal decorations! They were very quick to respond to my inquiry when I first contacted them and up until the wedding day. Anat, the owner, assured me every time I saw her to not stress or worry because everything would be taken care of, which it was for the most part. The only dislike I had about this venue was that they had booked an "after party" the same day as my wedding. When I came to setup with friends and family the "after party" was still going on and the place was thrashed! They got everyone out 45 minutes later as we were setting up inside, and only had one person cleaning the outside patio where my ceremony was supposed to happen in 3 hours! I am a clean freak, so to my dismay the place was not cleaned to my standards. The upstairs where the bridal party was getting ready was still dirty. The floors were sticky (my makeup artist literally had to bend down to rip her shoe off the floor), the bathrooms smelled and were not properly stocked. My maid of honor was on top of it and demanded these things be fixed, and only then were they done once told to do so. Another thing that bothered me was that the owner was passing out food to my guests wearing jeans and a tank top. It was not a super formal event, but not a jeans and t-shirt event either!
However, the staff was great for the most part. I think the owner knew we were upset and our open bar ran for almost an hour longer than it should have! Which I felt was their way of compensating me (thank you!). My guests loved the food and the nonstop flowing alcohol. I also hired a photobooth that fit perfectly by the bar and to save $$$ the owner suggested we just plug in our ipod to their equipment instead of a DJ! It worked great!
I would recommend this venue because it is unique and they keep the food and drinks coming with a smile! However, I would make sure that they DO NOT double book on your wedding day and that they are clear about your dress code. They were a great place and they were there to make your day fun, not charge you an arm and a leg just because it's a wedding!

We just had our wedding at the Bungalow Club in July. Anat, the owner, is marvelous! She is super responsive, professional, and overall just great. She made our reception amazing.
I would recommend The Bungalow Club for couples that are looking for something different in their wedding venue. The Bungalow Club is hip and relaxed while at the same it provides a high quality, polished service. This isn't your standard cookie-cutter wedding venue and that's the best part!
A huge two thumbs up!
