Captain Bill's Bayview House

Our October wedding at The Bayview House at Captain Bill's was truly everything we dreamed of, and so much more.

From the very first inquiry, the entire team at Captain Bill's made the process completely seamless. Booking was effortless, and their responsiveness gave us so much confidence throughout the planning process. Every email was answered promptly, every question handled with care, and every detail thoughtfully addressed.

The food tasting experience was incredible: carefully curated, beautifully presented, and fully accommodating of allergy requests. They made sure we felt comfortable and confident in every menu choice, and it absolutely paid off. Our guests are still raving about the food!

On the wedding day itself, we truly did not have to lift a finger. Every want and need was anticipated before we even realized it. The attendant and maitre d’ were beyond outstanding; attentive, organized, warm, and completely dedicated to making sure our day ran flawlessly. They kept everything on track while allowing us to fully soak in every moment.

The venue itself was set up to perfection. The attention to detail, the atmosphere, and the overall execution exceeded our expectations. After the wedding, our friends and family could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was and how incredible the staff at Captain Bill’s had been.

To any future newlyweds searching for the perfect venue, it would truly be a shame not to look into The Bayview House. They delivered an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful we chose them for our most important day

We had the hardest time finding a venue that fit our budget, and my must haves. Once we toured Captain Bills we fell in love with it immediately, and once we saw the price we were in shock. I had to send my mom there by herself just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything and that my husband and I didn’t have tunnel vision. Shannon, Chloe and Paula were absolutely fantastic when it came to coordinating the event. They were so attentive and always answered my emails quickly. The day of coordinator and maitre d were fantastic and they always made sure my husband and I were okay and always had a drink in our hand! The food was fantastic and the views are amazing. I had so many people come up to me and tell me how much fun they were having and how much they loved the venue. We did have a raw bar during cocktail hour, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they had someone shucking the clams and oysters for our guests at the raw bar! I honestly thought it was just going to be pre-shucked and placed on the station. We had just about 160 people and also added on the additional bartender (3 total), I definitely recommend this so there are no bar lines! They recently painted and got new chairs for the venue and it looks so amazing. If you have champagne taste with a beer budget I HIGHLY recommend touring here, I even told my friends the cost of everything we got with the venue and they were shocked!

We had our wedding in the Bayview House at Captain Bills. The experience was incredible from start to finish, the planning, set up, ceremony, food, and service. My husband and I decided to do this with only three months to plan and Captain Bills made it such a breeze, taking away so much stress! They were extremely accommodating of my food allergies and guest food restrictions. All of our guests raved about the service and food from the enormous cocktail hour, seated dinner, and dessert. The room at the Bayview house is gorgeous with great views into the marina. The location was great for guests with tons of parking on site and hotels, Airbnbs, and bed and breakfasts close by. The venue provided exceptional food and service for such a reasonable price. We couldn’t be happier with how our special day turned out. Thank you Captain Bills!

All of the catering managers, especially Paula, were very accommodating. They were easy to reach by phone and readily available to meet in person to answer questions and to see the venue. They also worked very well with my wedding coordinator prior to and the day of the wedding.

Cannot say enough good things about this venue. They were super responsive and helpful to all our questions and wants. Day of Coordinator and Maître-de were extremely helpful along with the events staff leading up to the wedding. We had a perfect day and cant recommend the Bayview House enough!

Starting with personnel, leading up to and day of our wedding Shannon and Paula in the events department went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. The wedding reception was amazing - the bridal attendant and maitre d were so fantastic taking care of not only my husband and I but my guests as well. Above all the kindness and attentiveness, we felt their excitement for us as a couple which was really special.

The food was perfect. Our guests are still raving about how great it was and how much at cocktail hour, especially! One thing they noted was how dinner came out hot which at some weddings doesn't always happen so that was great to hear.

The views are unmatched at Captain Bill's. We had a beautiful, clear night with a pretty sunset. Taking pictures on the dock was a last minute decision but they are beautiful and some of our favorites!

On July 5th we had our wedding at Captain Bill's Bayview House in Bayshore, and it was an absolute dream come true.
The Bayview House is a truly breathtaking venue located waterfront in the Bayview Marina. The marina provided a gorgeous backdrop for our photos, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the beauty of the location.
One of the biggest highlights for us (and our guests!) was the incredible variety of delicious food options offered by Captain Bills. They truly catered to every taste bud. We opted for passed/ stationed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour and a sit down dinner. The menu included a wide selection of seafood, succulent meats, gourmet vegetarian options, and decadent desserts, ensuring there was something delicious for everyone. The quality of the food matched its variety. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked, the Italian dishes were bursting with authentic flavor, and the meat options were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The presentation was equally impressive, adding a touch of elegance to the celebration.
A special thanks to Paula, our event coordinator, who was amazing throughout the entire planning process. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and went the extra mile. Her expertise made everything run smoothly on our wedding day. The entire staff in fact was beyond amazingly attentive and made our special day flawless.
The Bayview House provided the perfect setting for our dream wedding. The combination of stunning scenery, delicious food, and exceptional service made our day truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a magical and stress-free wedding experience.

Captain Bill's blew us away with the impeccable service, absolutely delicious food and professionalism. I would definitely recommend this vendor!!

We had our wedding in June 2022 at Captain Bill's in the Bayview house and overall had a wonderful experience. The staff and management staff exceeded our expectations for our wedding day and we were stunned when we walked into the room on our wedding day with the beauty of the room.
Overall we found Captain Bill's to be very reasonably priced for the beautiful space. The amount of food between the Cocktail Hour and Reception without any upgrades was staggering and far exceeded our guests' expectations. Captain Bill's also accommodated our desire to have two dock slips for the wedding for those arriving via boat and to "duet" the first and second course.
During COVID, we postponed our wedding and Captain Bill's was very understanding of our need to postpone, not introducing any charges or restrictions when the decision was made. Throughout the planning of the setup/decor of the Bayview house, we did run into some lack of flexibility in what we were allowed to do as far as set-up of the room, what type of decor we could rent and what was allowed to be changed. Ultimately, when the day approached Captain Bill's was more flexible that they initially indicated they would be about some decor rentals which was very much appreciated. However, I would recommend ensuring what you can/cannot do in writing if it is important to you to have the room set-up a certain way, or more importantly, if you want to bring in rented equipment, dishware, etc. We did not have issues on the day of however, as the staff was incredibly accommodating and understanding.
Our only other note for improvement is in the communication of set-up/access to the wedding venue. We were told that there were no other events in the Bayview house the entire day, but that turned out not to be true. This ended up not being an issue as our wedding planner adjusted our setup timeline and Captain Bill's was incredibly quick at turning the room, but this was a minor obstacle where communication could have ben improved.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and highly recommend. We looked at over 20 venues across Long Island and for the price, quality of food/service, and beauty of the Bayview House it was clear we made the right decision for our wedding day. Special thanks to Chloe and her team for making the wedding of our dreams come true!

I had an amazing time with my family.
