Have your wedding here, seriously!

From the moment we set foot in the Sands to tour the venue, we knew they were the best place because of how organized and on top of things Lori (the event coordinator) was. Throughout the whole planning process, Lori was so communicative, organized and just an amazing energy to work with! It felt like you were working with a family member who just wanted you to have the best day ever, and we did just that! I fully trusted her to make sure everything went smoothly and it could not have been better. The service is unreal. I felt like a literal princess all night because my bridal attendant took care of my EVERY need. She was beyond amazing and just a great person to have with you on your wedding day. Our parents were made to feel like royalty too! And all of our guests had incredible service at their tables as well. The food ALL night was DELICIOUS. So many of our guests reached out about the food, service and party at the Sands. It’s a great feeling to know not just you, but that your guests also had a great experience! The Sands truly knows how to throw a party and thinks of every single detail to make sure you and your guests have an amazing night. It’s also a beautiful location right on the beach! We sat on the beach together and watched the sunset before our cocktail hour and it was amazing. We had the BEST time at our wedding because of The Sands. Also highly recommend to use the DJ that comes with the package, they were amazing! Every single member on staff truly helped to make our wedding night what it was. I could really go on and on. Highly recommend them for any party!!!! Best decision ever!!!

Lori is amazing!

My wedding day at the Sands was perfect! I highly suggest this venue during off season when the beach club members won't be around. So the off season was perfect for our wedding day. The sands really know what they are doing when it comes to throwing an amazing event. I highly recommend working with Lori she made it all so so easy! Our wedding day was in the best hands I cannot thank Lori & the rest of the staff enough!

Beautiful day

Brianna was great! She worked with us as we postponed twice. She was always quick to respond to my emails. They worked with us as we ended up having less than half of the 150 for the all inclusive package due various reasons related to COVID. The day turned out just as I expected and more. The staff the day of were so helpful and made sure my husband and I were taken care of. Such a beautiful venue!

An amazing memory at The Sands!

Our wedding at The Sands Atlantic Beach was nothing short of a dream wedding!
From our first meeting with our wedding coordinator Lori, we were so excited. She clearly knew what she was doing, was so nice, and very happy to answer our many questions throughout our process with prompt responses.

When it came time for the big day, everything was amazing! Everyone always thinks their own wedding is the best, but you would not believe how many people came up to us throughout the night and said it was THE BEST wedding they’d ever been to! The compliments about how unbelievable the cocktail hour was, not only because of the variety (it is a LOT of food) but how delicious it was, have been endless. Lori gave us the opportunity for a tasting prior to our wedding, and we got to meet the amazing chefs, who like everyone else were so friendly and more than accommodating. Although most people said they were so stuffed from cocktail hour, many still raved about the main course and the insane Viennese hour that they put together for us. We had a bridal attendant at our side the whole night and loved the Maitre D. Several guests commented on how awesome it was that the bar was huge so there was never a long line, and also said the bartenders and all service staff were very friendly. To top everything off, the beach was pristine and we had a lovely October day to take some amazing beach pictures! We were thrilled with everything!

If you buy “the package” from The Sands (which ended up being a great choice for us,) you will be given choices of 3 photography companies, 2 DJs and 2 florists. I am sure all of the vendors are great, but we have to say we were over the moon with White Light Photography, Feriani Floral Decorators and EJ the DJ. We cannot say enough good things about any of these companies, and how they did everything they could to tailor the night to be specifically exactly what we dreamed of.

My guests were highly impressed with the professionalism that was demonstrated by all staff, the excellent food that was served, the amazing drinks and the overall service and atmosphere that the staff at the Sands provided. We highly recommend anyone and everyone to have their party at the sands for any occasion and to ask for Brianna- you definitely will not be disappointed and will be so happy with the outcome.

My daughter was married at the Sands on 5/4/2018. The wedding planner Brianna and her staff could not be more accommodating to our family. The food was phenomenal. All I know all is our guests and family were very impressed . If I had to book an event no matter what. My first choice is the Sands and only the Sands. Our wedding planner Brianna is the best way to go in getting everything together. She went above and beyond. Brianna made sure all of us were happy. GO BRIANNA.

My husband and I were married at the Sands at Atlantic Beach on Saturday. Everything was so unbelievable and we are still getting compliments about the food and service! Brianna was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process as we met her 14 months ago when we booked. I would highly recommend this venue to other couples as everything was just as I had hoped and expected!

My now husband and I are soooo incredibly happy we had our ceremony and reception at the Sands Atlantic Beach! I worked for years as a party motivator and knew what all the venues on Long Island were like. What drew me to the Sands was 1) the beach 2) the size of the huge dance floor 3) the modern yet classic feel and 4) the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.
From day 1 Lori was fun to work with, laid out all the information we needed, and always followed-up quickly with the 1,000 emails I must have sent her over the course of planning! Wedding planning is a stressful process, and there were a few times I had to ask her the same questions and she always clarified everything for me.
The day of the wedding it was so windy I thought I'd have to have it inside, but Lori asked my opinion on a few ways to change things and I asked her to do what she thought was best because I knew I could trust her to do it right. So even though there were a few last minute changes, it was seamless and the guests had no idea because everything looked beautiful! Lori and the staff worked so hard, and my bridal attendant Shaq was also awesome! My husband and I had the best day ever, and all our guests loved the food! Passed desserts were unlike anything I've ever seen! Entrees and cocktail hour were amazing!!!! Love this place ?

My daughter's wedding was on the first day of summer, June 21, 2014. Richard Lang, head caterer, was fabulous. He took care of every detail perfectly. Rich guided us through the menu and set up of the club and ceremony on the beach. When the bus which was to deliver our guests to the club broke down, causing a delay in the ceremony, Rich calmly took care of rearranging the timing of the ceremony, cocktail hour, etc., and assured us everything was under control. The reception hall was newly decorated and beautiful. The food was exceptionally delicious and well-presented. The waitstaff was very attentive to our guests' needs. I highly recommend The Sands of Atlantic Beach for a beautiful fairytale wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
