The Perfect Wedding

If you’re reading this review, stop wasting your time, go drive over to Soundview, ask for Brittany and book your wedding day! Don’t forget to bring your checkbook for the deposit.

We could not have asked for the more perfect wedding, especially at a time when things were changing up to the last minute due to COVID. Brittany is an absolute godsend and was there for us every single step of the way, ensuring that everything went exactly to plan. She even coordinated a whole ceremony rehearsal for us the morning of the wedding. Brittany is a master of her craft and we were so fortunate to have her holding the strings leading up to our big day.

Now we have to talk about Diego. There are no words to describe how on point he is in every single possible situation. He wore every hat imaginable during setup, ceremony, reception and exit. Our wedding would not have been nearly the party it was without Diego there making sure that me and my wife could forget about everything else and just have fun.

Moving on, I have never been to a wedding where the head bartender felt like family. Donna, was so integral to us having the wedding of our dreams and we had multiple guests and family members comment about how great she was throughout the entire night. Music, food and drink make the wedding and Donna made sure the latter of those was stellar in every aspect.

I have to give one final shoutout to Taryn (sorry if I mispelled), the bridal attendant. Bridal attendant does not begin to summarize what she meant to us on our wedding night. Seamstress, makeup artist, hairstylest, bartender, personal server, butler, maid of honor, best man. She was all of those things and more. The night would not have been the same without her.

To wrap this up before I hit my character limit, most people say they don’t get a chance to have fun at their own weddings. Those people definitely didn’t have their weddings at Soundview. Ours was the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to. We got to eat our food, check out cocktail hour, dance all night and enjoy the entire experience because of the unbelievable team there. I am BEGGING all of my friends to get married there just so I can see this group again.

No reason to look any further

When I tell you they simply made my wedding day PERFECT. When I went there the people didn’t win me over, but the place did. I simply couldn’t have been happier with using Soundview as my choice. Diego was phenomenal the day of. Melissa was also there and was so helpful with answering any questions we had. We had so many guests tell us the food was amazing. I simply couldn’t recommend this place enough. You really can’t get anything better than a venue that overlooks the sound on a beautiful day with amazing workers. I’d choose soundview again and again and again.

Dream come true!

I can’t believe it has been over 2 months since we got married, but it has been! Our wedding at Soundview was on 04-20-2024 and from the moment we walked into the place in October 2023, we could instantly see ourselves and our families celebrating in the space!

I was never one of those girls who dreamt of every little detail of my wedding before it was anywhere in sight, and sometimes the idea of planning could feel overwhelming. Our first meeting was with Brittany, and she immediately put us at ease that we could plan as much or as little detail as we wanted.
The space was so naturally beautiful, there was not really a need to do much to it at all!

One thing that was SUPER helpful was the list of suggested vendors that work with Soundview; I simply called each of the ones I needed from the list and voila- a wedding was planned. Our meetings with Diego put us equally at ease, as he worked with us seamlessly to adjust our final guest details up to the day of the wedding, as unforeseen changes do happen! Brittany and Diego were always prompt to respond to any questions via e-mail in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. We felt very well-taken care of the entire time. It was a pleasure to meet Ada who personally assisted us on the day of the wedding, skillfully driving the golf cart to get us the sunset photo we desired! :-) (it also does not go unnoticed that while Diego was our right-hand-man for the night, Brittany was also present, coordinating details upon our arrival to Soundview on our wedding day & stayed until every detail I had desired was seen through! *mission accomplished* 😎)
The entire team was super sweet and we appreciated the beautiful message they wrote on the box for our top layer of wedding cake, and how it was so conveniently wrapped up for us.
Speaking of “conveniently wrapped up”- we brought decorations the day before that needed to be set up for the cocktail hour i.e. adding water to floating candles, etc., and not only was all of this taken care of and beautifully arranged for us, but it was also all packed up for us to conveniently pick up the next day after the wedding.

Our time at Soundview was truly a dream come true & we couldn’t have imagined a better day. Thank you so much to everyone who made it possible.

We highly recommend Soundview Caterers in Bayville, NY to anyone looking to have a beautiful and convenient wedding with LOTS of delicious food! (I almost forgot to mention the food: almost 3 months later, people are STILL talking to us about the food and how surprised they were that after all the variety of delicious foods at the cocktail hour, there was STILL another sit-down meal to be eaten 😆 We also appreciate that the team set us up a delicious spread of all our favorites.)

It’s truly like we were family guests, and the care and treatment is deeply appreciated.

Soundview is the best!!!

We had our wedding at Soundview on 5.18.24. Soundview was the first and last venue we looked at. From the moment we walked through the door and did a tour with Brittany, we knew this is where we wanted our wedding to be. Throughout the planning process, they were easy to get ahold of and are very obviously knowledgeable on how to run a wedding. I was feeling anxious about all of the little details until we met with Diego who was our Maitre'd for the night. Diego...where to begin? Attentive is an understatement. He is absolutely wonderful! My husband at one point asked if they had any Redbull, and before we knew it Diego was already done ordering some on DoorDash. Diego also helped put on my veil and bustled my dress like a pro (it's like he does this all the time or something, lol) He was extremely attentive without being overbearing. We wanted an outdoor ceremony, but it was beginning to rain, Diego had a storm tracker on his phone to figure out the best start time and the staff flipped the reception room just in case we needed it to be inside... we didn't! Then they had to flip everything back and it all still looked beautiful. Now on to Megan who was our bridal attendant. She is so sweet and was extremely helpful the entire night. I never had to ask for a thing, it was like she was a mind reader and knew what I needed before I did. My nephew was overwhelmed with the loud music, and I looked over and saw Megan comforting him and she even let him steer the golf cart!! Megan's calm demeanor kept me at ease the entire day and I really appreciate her. The only mishap we had, which was not Soundview's fault, was our wedding cake. But before I get into that, I want to say Brittany did a great job decorating the cake with leftover flowers from the florist! It was beautiful. The cake came from Leonettis Bakery, and it was delicious, but it was the wrong cake. In the grand scheme, it didn't really matter and none of the guests knew. But the next morning when we went to pick up our decorations we left at Soundview, we had a cake waiting for us to take home. The owner of Soundview felt horrible about our cake being wrong so he went to the bakery himself to get us the right one! If I had to do it all again, I would pick Soundview every time. I recommend them without hesitation. A huge THANK YOU to the Soundview family for making our dream a reality.

Amazing Experience!

We got married 11/4/23 at Soundview and had such an amazing experience with Soundview. When beginning the venue search we knew we wanted a waterfront venue with an outdoor space for the ceremony and a suitable indoor option in case the weather didn't cooperate. We fell in love with the stunning indoor and outdoor views and the fact that they host one event at a time was also a MAJOR plus for us. During the wedding planning process, Brittany was easy to get in touch with, super organized, and quick to answer any questions I had. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still raving about the food and talking about how beautiful the venue was. Diego made sure everything ran smoothly, and Taryn our bridal attendant went above and beyond helping out our photographers, and made sure my husband and I had cocktails. The entire Soundview staff went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was spectacular and we can't recommend them enough

Beautiful view, friendly staff, relatively inexpensive for the area

My husband grew up in Bayville, so it was on our radar when we were searching for the right venue for us. The view is unbeatable both inside and outside of the building. They have floor to ceiling windows overlooking the LI Sound, a little private beach, and a gorgeous patio space for the ceremony. It was an absolutely gorgeous venue and everytime we had a meeting it was better than I remembered. Brittney and Diego made everything so easy for us and they were so sweet! I definitely needed a lot of help from them since I didn’t have a florist, and they did a fantastic job setting out the decor I brought. My Bridal Attendant was Ada and my Maitr D was Megan. They were so fantastic. We had custom signature drinks and they were delicious! I’m used to a lot of wedding venues watering down drinks, but Soundview definitely did not! Also the food was some of the best I’ve ever had in my life! Cocktail hour and reception food were so yummy! And we have Taco Bell as our exit station. You absolutely cannot go wrong choosing this venue, and they were easily one of the least expensive venues we toured, and you get so much for the value!

The Perfect Venue for our Big Day

Originally, my husband and I didn't want an outdoor ceremony (we didn't want weather to be a factor in our plans). Once we saw the ceremony site at Soundview, that changed instantly -and we're so glad it did! Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful, with the natural sound of soft waves and a gorgeous view of the sun setting over the Sound. The staff was nothing short of amazing. Everyone was kind, attentive, and made my husband and me feel so special on our big day. The food was also amazing. I'm still craving more of that filet mignon! The bartenders absolutely nailed our signature drinks. Planning everything was a breeze, as Brittany was always just an email away and responded in a timely manner. Diego was a rockstar maître d. Ada was the best bridal attendant I could've asked for! Thanks to them and the rest of the incredible staff, our wedding day was an absolute dream!

Hidden Gem

I came across Soundview on a simple hood old fashion search on the internet. I knew when searching for a venue I want to be on the water, one wedding a day, and a romantic space. Soundview hit all the boxes - plus side no one I knew had heard of it. Long Island weddings are spectacular events but can become cookie cutter when the same venues are all you hear about. Soundview’s criteria online checked all my boxes and once my fiancé and I saw it, done deal!
Everyone you encounter on the staff has nothing but your vision, dream, and happiness in mind. The room has a gorgeous view of the sound and the patio is relaxing in a way that’s needed on a very busy day! If you’re looking for a one venue a day on the water wedding, this is it! Plus side, food is bomb which can also be a difficult find at w wedding :)
Just book them, you won’t regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Soundview Caterers is a beautiful venue on the water in Bayville, NY. From a musical perspective, their outdoor ceremony location is perfect for a string quartet or other live ensemble to perform from behind the guest seats with great acoustics. Indoors, this picturesque venue boasts a piano that can be used for cocktail hour and ample space for a live, string quartet to perform as well. The staff is also knowledgeable and accommodating. I would highly recommend Soundview Caterers to anyone looking to find a waterfront ceremony and reception.
