We recently had our wedding at Pelham Bay and Split Rock Golf Course, and it was everything we dreamed of and more!

From the very beginning, the staff was incredible to work with. John is a champ. He was very responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Their attention to detail and flexibility took so much stress off our shoulders, and we felt supported every step of the way. Also thanks to our bride attendant and the manager of the day Kristin.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The golf course backdrop made for the most beautiful photos, and the reception room was elegant, spacious, and perfectly set up for our reception. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the atmosphere both outside and inside!

The food was another highlight — from the cocktail hour to the reception, everything was delicious and plentiful. We received so many compliments from guests about how much they enjoyed their meals.

What stood out the most was how seamless the day felt. The team managed everything flawlessly, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day.

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines breathtaking scenery, amazing service, and an exceptional experience, I can’t recommend Pelham Bay and Split Rock Golf Course enough. They were also very nice to work with your budget. They provided different catering packages for you to choose.

A few years ago a stumbled across Pelham Split Rock’s Instagram page and I knew it was where I wanted to have my wedding ceremony. Unfortunately COVID changed things and a reception at Pelham Split Rock wasn’t possible. Earlier this year when my husband and I started looking for venues for our baby shower it was a no brainer, we just knew we had to have it here! John, the event manager, was helpful from the very start. Always responsive, detailed and made all our requests a possibility. As if things couldn’t get any better, the crew supporting the event the day of were spectacular. They kept us on schedule while being flexible and soooo accommodating. Many of our guests couldn’t believe this hidden gem existed in the Bronx.

Look no further... you have found your venue! I recently had my wedding at Pelham Bay & Split Rock, and I truly cannot say enough positive things about the experience. First and foremost, the venue is BEAUTIFUL. The photos are lovely but do not do the place justice. The fact that it is situated within a golf course creates a truly magical effect; once the sun went down, our wedding reception became a bright beacon of light and music amidst a gorgeous, dark expanse. We were permitted to use the grass, which meant that the kids at the reception had plenty of room to run around, and anyone who needed a quiet moment away could take a short walk and do so. The venue provided fire pits and s'mores on the grass as well, which were a wonderful, special touch. From start to finish, John and the team were wonderful to work with. They were flexible, responsive, and answered all our questions. The food was delicious! And the space was extremely versatile... we wanted our reception to be entirely outdoors due to covid, which we were able to do. BUT we also had access to a gorgeous indoor space for guests who needed a break from the summer heat. And if the weather had been bad, we would have had the option to move indoors if needed, which gave us great peace of mind throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Our night was unforgettable.

John, Al, and the rest of the team at Split Rock made our wedding dreams come true. They were thorough, very communicative, and made sure to cover every last detail so that everything ran smoothly on the day of the wedding. John was great at answering all of my questions and meeting with me on numerous occasions to discuss details. He was also great at being available for our vendor for music to go over logistics for electric/ speakers, etc. My husband and I got married on May 28th, 2022, with a brunch daytime wedding. We had planned to have our ceremony by Split Rock’s beautiful gazebo. However, due to an impending thunderstorm, we moved our ceremony indoors in the tent. (Our gameplan was set in stone from the previous day for the weather, and it was great to feel like there was the Plan A and Plan B with the timings). Honestly- with the photos, it looked just as beautiful, if not more beautiful with the florals inside the pavilion. The beautiful clear siding of the pavilion gave us an indoor/outdoor feel, so we enjoyed the view of the nature, but were able to stay safe and cool in the air conditioning inside. In fact, I think the ceremony felt even more intimate, unique, and special this way given the way our guests were seated. My husband and I were in awe at how everything looked even better than we anticipated with the décor. Al, our event coordinator was so meticulous and was great at keeping on top of the schedule, while also being flexible with my or my husband’s “go ahead” for changes. As a very anxious person in general, Al really made me feel at complete ease during the day. I wasn’t worried about a thing. He was like a ninja,- I mean that in the best sense- he was making everything happen flawlessly in the background, so that my husband and I could just ENJOY the day. Kristen and Mariah were my bridal attendants, and they were the absolute BEST. They made me feel so comfortable, and were so good at anticipating my needs. Most of all, I felt that they genuinely cared that I was having the best time… My husband and I are just so happy in choosing this place as our venue!

The venue is absolutely beautiful especially the main room with double fireplaces and 1920s art work. The staff are accommodating and so easy with whom to work. They are customer service oriented which is often difficult to find. Food was outstanding and all of my guests raved about it! Great choice all around!

This venue is so beautiful and the staff is absolutely professional and attentive. They made sure everything looked and felt perfect for my wedding day. My attendant was literally perfection. The food is absolutely delicious. My guest had a great time and were in awe of the beautiful view, setup and venue.

My fiancé and I heard about Pelham Bay & Split Rock Golf Course from a friend that had his wedding there, but to be honest the reviews were so high I was weary. I am so glad we went, from the moment we walked in John Braca was friendly, attentive and straightforward. We are so fortunate to have found Pelham Bay and John. I did not have a vision in mind, but my fiancé did, he wanted more of a non-traditional reception with our favorite rock bank performing. John and Pelham Bay were more than accommodating, almost making it too easy. The planning, the food choices everything was just so easy and perfect. John is a pro and it definitely shows.
The day of the wedding, October 5, 2019 everything was absolutely perfect . The lay out and table arrangements were exactly like we wanted and all of our “quirky” touches were added. The food was delish!! Still people are raving about it, the servers and bartenders were very attentive. Not one guess was in need of anything because food and drink was always being offered. Our Bridal attendant Sarah was just wonderful, she was very helpful and would remind me to breath as I am a tad high strung! I am so grateful for John and the staff at Pelham Bay & Split Rock and coud not recommend them enough! Almost wish we could do it all over again we had so much fun! Thanks for your help, service and enthusiasm in making our day so special.

We spent our entire wedding night receiving CONSTANT praise for the venue, and it was extremely deserved.

From the very beginning, John has been nothing but responsive and flexible. We fell in love with this venue immediately, and from our first conversation he worked with us to build out a package that matched our budget and our slightly-smaller-than-minimum guest count. We weren't super fussy with a lot of our details, but all the same we got the sense that John would be patient and there for us to work out whatever we wanted to do. Even when we got into the eleventh hour and had some last minute complications on our side, he worked with us to make sure that everything went smoothly.

As for the event staff, Al our maître d' and Kristen our bridal suite attendant were both on point. I personally was a bit of an anxious wreck in the lead-up to the wedding, but it was apparent right away that both of them had the whole evening under control. It meant my wife and I could truly relax and enjoy our evening more than we thought possible.

Kristen was phenomenal, she anticipated all of our needs (sometimes before we even knew we'd need them!). She always made sure we had food and drinks, were in the right place, and that all of our things were organized.

Al was so brilliant that I honestly barely even noticed him in an extremely good way. All of our food was out hot and right on time, the service ran effortlessly, and our night ended up being absolutely perfect.

As far as the venue itself, the location is absolutely gorgeous. The views from the tent are great, and the central outdoor space makes a great transition from cocktail hour to reception when the weather's nice. Don't be afraid to work with the outdoor space when planning your event. The s'mores station was a big hit the outdoor fire pits and outdoor dance floor meant we could transition back outside at the end of the night. Everything was absolutely perfect.

In terms of recommendations, we liked how little decoration it took to make the space look great. We rented some outdoor lounge furniture to spruce up the outdoor space, and that added a lot. We also would recommend bringing some extra uplighting for the tent. The lighting is even and adequate, but some fancier pops of color would've been nice (our DJ warned us but we didn't listen).

The food was excellent and plentiful. The cocktail hour stations were delicious and our package came with enough food between them and the passed hors d'oeuvres that some of our guests thought that was the entire meal! The courses were stunning as well, and the dessert stations ended up being real hits. The s'mores station was a popular hang out spot at the end of the evening, the milk and cookies went over very well with our younger guests, and the donut wall ended up in a lot of our guests's photos that night.

Honestly we could not have asked for a prettier venue, better food, or a more organized team. Our evening was absolutely perfect and we were able to truly enjoy it thanks to these talented folks. We'll definitely be keeping them in mind if we need another event in the area, and we highly recommend you check them out as well.

OMG where do we start?! My dream wedding was achieved because of two things. The beautiful venue that gives you the choice to host your wedding outdoors and the wonderful people who worked nonstop through alllll my questions and concerns. First is John, what an angel! We booked almost a yr in advance, so the amount of questions, comments and concerns that I had leading up to the wedding would had driven ppl off the wall. John was 100% always responsive and attentive. The day of the wedding he was my hype man! He kept everything in order leading up to the wedding and I had 0 stress! Next is Al, he help us for our rehearsal because we didn’t know what we were doing! He took the time to guide each of us through rehearsal and the day of the wedding he made sure communication between him and the rest of the vendors was crystal clear! We were running a little behind schedule but he made sure transitions from ceremony to cocktail, pictures, reception and entertainment was seamless. And lastly Kristin! Ugh! Loveeddd heeerrr!! She was all about me as soon as I got to the venue, she walked around with my veil and holding my train for pictures and she was stressing my bustle more than I was. She made sure I was eating and drinking and enjoying myself the whole night. I wish I could relive my wedding day it was an amazing experience and this venue and the people in it will make sure you have the time of your lifeee!!! We chose outdoor dance floor and dining and everyone loved how it was different. THE FOOOODDD... amazing! My guest loved the second course which was penne a la vodka! Then we had choice of steak, salmon or chicken! I heard no complaints! Cocktail hour we had so many choices! Trust me, you will fall in love with the venue! We sure did, we wish we can turn back time and do it all over again!

While searching for the perfect venue for my daughter's Masquerade Sweet 16 I found Pelham Bay Split Rock. I found a "jewel" hidden in the Bronx. The place was absolutely gorgeous, the decor was perfect, and the event manager, Jessica Vasquez, truly made my planning less complicated. She was a professional, knowledgeable, she made dance practices possible, she was flexible with time and flexible with payments. I am extremely grateful for her help. Once August 3, 2019 arrived, I was overjoyed as to how beautiful the room looked, the guests were complimenting the staff as to professionalism, attentiveness during the whole event. The food was delicious, the Open Bar was amazing. The night was magical for my baby girl and also for family and friends. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you with all our hearts Jessica and the service staff. You all rock the BEST. Mercy & Family.
