We are so glad we booked BYC for our wedding day!! Since the staff, especially Jenn and Eric, were so on top of things in planning, we didn't feel the need for a wedding planner. The staff took care of our timeline, made sure everything was set up for us exactly how we pictured it, and broke everything down for us at the end of the night. Everyone raved about the food and drinks, and the staff serving were extremely attentive. The ballroom was the perfect space for our large wedding (200 guests) to feel comfortable and not cramped, and left plenty of room on the dance floor (though it was full the whole time!). We couldn't imagine a more perfect day, and its proximity to Long Beach for the ceremony at my husband's home church was an extra bonus for us. We wish we could go to another event there!!

Bridgeview Yacht Club: 1000/10
My husband and I want to be a guest at a BYC wedding!! If you need a BOLI table, we would love to join!
Planning: our point of contact was Sam, and she is one of the kindest individuals we know. Sam was very detailed oriented and guided us through the venue planning process and kept us on track with tastings, and details for the day of.
Day of: Eric was our Maitre’d and he felt like family and you can tell he loves what he does. Eric worked in coordination with our DOCs to truly give us a perfect day. Staff were punctual, attentive to guests, and he was on top of everything!! We had several guests come up to us in awe at how on top of everything Eric was and ensuring our guests were well taken care of. I had a guest who injured themselves prior to the ceremony and Eric ensured they had an extra chair to elevate their leg and their drink was never empty!
My bridal attendant was an angel. She made sure my husband and I were fed, always had a drink, and helped me change my dresses. She was always a step ahead with something that we may have wanted or needed.
Food and Drinks: our guests 5 months later are still bringing up how good the food was. We expanded the cocktail hour to include the raw bar, during the reception the food was cooked to perfection and those who had dietary restrictions were accommodated. For dessert, we upgraded to the deluxe Viennese hour, which was a huge hit with our guests. The best part is that when we went back the next day, all of the left over dessert the staff had wrapped up for us to go. This was huge!! My husband and I were pulled away for pictures during our dessert hour and were unable to try any during that time. It meant a lot being able to enjoy that moment together eating our dessert. The bartenders kept the drinks flowing and were fast that the lines were never too long. We had two bars open during the reception and we were able to do multiple trays of shots to hand out to our guests.
We wish we could relive this day as a guest at our own wedding, the team set up our venue better than we had envisioned, were a dream to work with, the food was outstanding, and we did not have a worry in the world that something would go wrong. Cannot recommend them enough!

Everything at Bridgeview went perfectly. It wasn’t our top pick for venue, but they delivered beyond our expectations. Jen helped us along the way and she was the best, she was available whenever I needed her, even on her days off. She was flexible with the menu and any requests we had she did what she could to accommodate us. I was verrrry skeptical about not meeting the maitre’d or bridal attendant prior to the wedding day (I am not very social with new faces), however I felt like I knew them since forever when I walked in the day of our wedding. I know how cliche that sounds, but it’s true. Even having two wedding coordinators with me on the day of, both Eric and Isabella were there for everything I needed and everything I didn’t even know I needed. I was actually amazed at everything they did to make the day go so perfectly. The food was great, and the drinks were strong. I can not thank everyone at this venue enough for dealing with me and helping execute the perfect wedding day.

We visited bvyc before the pandemic and it was tops amongst the 18 other places I visited. Samantha was very nice and accommodating and we reserved a date. Then the pandemic hit. They were super accommodating regarding changing dates twice.

Once the big say arrived, everything was great. The arrangements were spot on and the food was honestly the best part.

Recommend this place fully and would love to be a guest there to treat the food and enjoy everything.

I got married at Bridgeview Yacht Club in January 2020. The venue is gorgeous and the staff is simply AMAZING! They made the day flow with such ease, were so incredibly attentive and I could not recommend this place more! Eric was fantastic and Samantha was wonderful during the entire planning process. The entire staff was top notch!!

Our experience with The Bridgeview Yacht Club was wonderful, from beginning to end. The coordinater that handled our wedding, Samantha, was great. We had a relatively small reception, 80 guests. Our maitre d', Eric, handled the ceremony and the reception smoothly and professionally. He was fantastic ! We are an older, retired couple in our 60's . Because we had recently relocated to Myrtle Beach, S.C. after our retirement, we had to do most of the planning remotely, using the internet and by phone. The entire staff at the Bridgeview made the whole process smooth and without stress. Our Wedding Day was magical for us, and for all of our family and guests. The venue was elegant and the food was delicious and plentiful. We had the full raw bar, with lobster, shrimp, clams and oysters with a heart shaped ice sculpture on the table. That was a big hit with all of our guests. Though we had the smaller, upstairs room for our reception, there was plenty of room for dancing and moving around. The guests who were sitting in the dining area were still able to talk easily because the dance floor was a step lower and slightly separate. The Bridgeview worked easily and well with all of our vendors including the DJ, the officiant, the florist and the photographer and videographer. Most of them had already worked events at The Bridgeview, and were pleased when we told them where the wedding was going to be. Our Wedding Day was everything we hoped it would be; for us magical.....for our guests , comfortable and impressive !

Where to begin? BYC has been nothing short of amazing throughout this entire process. They are a beautiful venue for a reception (we are getting married in a church) and checked all our boxes. With over 300 people invited, we were worried about finding a venue with the capacity and quality we needed while still being in a reasonable budget. BYC was the answer to our prayers! They let us hold our date for a week while deciding which helped take some of the stress off searching. Their contract is clear, has lots of flexibility for different packages, and they are structured to take payments in increments to spread out the burden. Our contact Sam has been professional, responsive, and very helpful since day 1.

Our original date was in October of 2020, but we just decided to push it out another year due to COVID-19. Bridgeview was calm and supportive through the whole thing (and was even helped make accommodations to help us get one of our payments in). Once we voiced we wanted to move the date, the process was hassle-free in a time where we needed it most! Thank you, thank you to everyone at BYC. We cannot wait to share our special day with you next year and look forward to leaving another guaranteed positive review next year!

Wow, where do I begin. Bridgeview Yacht Club was the first venue we looked at and ultimately booked because no other venue compares. We’re here to tell anyone planning a wedding, don’t waste your time looking! Our extremely high expectations were not only met, but were far surpassed. In the end they did not disappoint. BYC and their associates turn a dream wedding into reality. I wish we could go back to that day and do it again. From start to finish, Jenn guided us in the right direction to make the process seamless. She was patient, accessible, and responsive. She answered many questions, made suggestions, and did everything she could leading up to our event to ensure our day would be as perfect as could be. Even our belongings were presented back to us boxed up perfectly, and in pristine condition as the day we dropped them off. Nothing was missing.

One of the first things I remember about the day is pulling up to the venue and Eric the Maitre D, and Tanya the Bridal Attendant greeting us outside with big smiles on their faces, and warm, friendly, welcoming dispositions. They instantly made us feel like A-listers from that moment on. They were fun while they exuded class and remained professional throughout our entire reception. Early on they briefly pulled us aside to ask us our must have moments for the evening and took every step to deliver. Eric simply, smoothly, calmly and discreetly did his best to handle, and did handle any situation (through no fault of the venue) that could have made the day go a little awry like it was no issue at all, and he didn’t allow it to become a problem that we needed to handle. Tanya was sweet, efficient, and attentive. I have no doubt I was a little fussy due to being a ball of nerves. She helped me with my train and then my bustle, and my bustle again when it malfunctioned. She never displayed anything but grace and never once made me feel like I was asking for too much. She had ready samplings of everything from our cocktail hour, dinner, and our drinks were never not full. My Husband and I would blink and we’d have fresh drinks without having seen her. Having both been in the hospitality industry, my Husband and I were certainly impressed, as were our guests. Several guests made comments of their observation of Tanya, and how Eric paid special attention to family and friends. All of the extended staff at BYC were professional and accommodating. Their level of service is unparalleled. Parents on both sides received several calls about how delicious and abundant the cocktail hour, and dinner was, and how it was the most beautiful, elegant wedding they’ve ever been to.

And if the venue wasn’t already beautiful enough before, and when we booked; the renovations that took place during our time planning, both inside and out, are breathtaking. The updates are absolutely gorgeous, and almost felt like they were done just for us! There’s no other venue like it. Attention to detail is paid to every surface from top to bottom. As for someone with an eye (and prior training) for design, it leaves much to be desired when venues don’t pay attention to their ceiling and lighting, and BYC covers it all, literally and beautifully. BYC is a dream venue. I’m already dreaming of how we can plan a future celebration there to recreate the most beautiful day of our life together thus far! My Husband and I have attended over 20 weddings together. BYC is by far our favorite!

10/10 they excelled in service

After getting engaged back in July, we decided that we wanted to get married within a few months and decided on October 13th.

After searching around venues, we quickly learned that if you want to have a party at a catering hall, its quite affordable, but a wedding, make sure you're sitting when they tell you there is a $10,000 surcharge. 

Bridgeview was different, there was a set price for a sit down or a buffet and from everyone we spoke too, people raved about the food. There was an additional ceremony price but it was very reasonable and included hospitality. And with our date open, we booked them for our day. 

To keep the costs down, we did a lot of the planning ourselves and included friends we trusted to provide the key elements. As the day got closer, we met with Jenn from Bridgeview a few times, to discuss and choose the menu. They have a lot of Gluten-Free options and that was important to us. We were also able to choose table cloths and napkins to fit our color scheme. Bridgeview had every imaginable color with was a nice touch. 

Fast forward to the day. They let us get there early to start setting up and getting ready. My bride had her hair dresser meet her so they could start preparing for the ceremony. I and my grooms people unloaded the car and started to plan out the setup. We had a chuppa to build and also setup the party room and the ceremony space. What I hadn't expected was help from Bridgeview. 

It was apparent that from the second I got there to setup, there was help and direction all around me. The staff led by Eric and Claudia at Bridgeview took our engraved vases and centerpieces, the other design chotskies and completely set everything up in the party room while I setup the Chuppa in their courtyard. 
As the ceremony time approached Eric directed me to get ready and then we went over a few things before things got underway. Everything went so smoothly. And the ceremony came and went and it was beautiful. 

During the party itself, Eric and Claudia were there 110% of the time. They were overly attendant which was great, and never not helpful. Between taking pictures, seeing family and friends, eating, dancing, it was the direction of Bridgeview that made things go so smoothly. The rest of the staff was extremely professional as well and it seemed like everyone was having a good time. The party ended on time, to the dismay of everyone. 

Cleanup was also a breeze, Eric and Claudia helped get extra things packed up, and before we knew it, the day was over. Bridgeview and their amazing staff and facilities made our day everything it could have been and more. Their attention to detail and experience made our day seem effortless and we have nothing but happy, fun memories. All of our guests continue to tell us that our wedding was the most enjoyable wedding they have been which speaks more than our praises. Bridgeview Yacht Club, thank you again.

Other companies that made our day amazing: They also spoke highly of the direction and organization of everyone at Bridgeview.Sip & Say in Merrick for engraving our place card glasses, the centerpieces and for providing delicious wine. Ello Entertainment, DJ servicesReady, Set, Studios, Photo and VideoPammy's Cakes in Long Beach
