We had our ceremony and reception in the beautiful Hudson Room. We got so many compliments from our guests about how stunning the venue was and how amazing the food was. There was a ton of food and it was incredible! We loved the big balcony, guests enjoyed being out in the fresh air. Karisa the banquet manager was amazing! She met with us before the wedding several times and arranged everything we could dream up. She was with us both evenings for the rehearsal and the wedding day. I feel like she was our personal wedding coordinator! She couldn’t have been more helpful and available for our every need. She was bringing us drinks while we got hair and makeup done in the bridal suite, putting on boutonnières, in the midst of making arrangements for all the vendors and managing the bartenders and servers. The service from all the staff was excellent! I’m so glad we chose this as our wedding venue!

Love Bacchus enough to write this review TWICE because the Knot didn’t save my first draft!!! 10000/10 would reccomend! From the service provided (shout out to Meryl and Kaz), to the food (they’re a restaurant after all), to the overall vibes (cute sunny day and cute nights at night in a garden themed place THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!  We got married 8/29/25 and from the first inquiry Meryl and staff were so responsive with our questions. We had a wedding planner of our own that was hired before deciding on Bacchus when we wanted something bigger but honestly we could have probably handled our wedding with just Meryl assisting alone. She’s got tons of experience from all the weddings Bacchus has handled over the years and it shows! You also can’t beat the recommendations she’s provided on what she’s seen work first-hand.  Price point — we looked at a few restaurants in the area to cut costs on table/linen/cutlery rentals and honestly you can’t beat the price we got. Our wedding planner was SHOOK at what a good deal we got and made it a point to say she’s shocked at the level of service they gave for how much we paid. Most of the places nearby were charging maybe equivalent prices for family style pastas vs Bacchus offering a full plated dinner. Just FYI their all-inclusive drinks are only for wine/beer. My husband and I aren’t big drinkers and at the time we were allowed to bring in our on alcohol which Bacchus was happy to help mix for us. This kept our cost of alcohol down and also helped us curated a more personalized drink list (win-win!)  Food 1000/10. We actually have been to Bacchus quite a few times even before to check out the vibes and food never disappoints. I’ve been to Paris before (and idk what it is but I think it’s better than the places I’ve had there LOL). Whether you decide to have your wedding here or not you deffinitely have to drop by for a bite! Their steaks (especially their Iberica steak), salads, and bread and butter all DELICIOUS. Wedding food isn’t always good but where Bacchus shines is that they’re a well-run established restaurant so they’re able to handle the volume without compromising the quality or how YUMMY the food is. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding food they’ve had before.  Accomodations — they’re open for brunch on weekends but we had a Friday wedding and they were able to accommodate us to get ready at the restaurant. Meryl also let us borrow their projector for a little fun Kahoot game during cocktail hour! Like I said above they also mixed our drinks and provided general mixers. We’re Asian and wanted a Yakult Soju drink that they were able to mix with ease and it was a hit! Some previous couples also must have left behind the the lanterns/linens but they put them up for us and also (without us asking) also put in some small candle votives which looked so good at night. Vibe check/Space — 100/10 everyone was so nice and professional. Everyone loved the ceremony with the bubbles (high key love the way it turned out in the garden). The night with the lights (chefs kiss). I will admit there was a little bit hiccup with my family drama but Meryl/staff handled it so professionally, super grateful! We had about 108 guests — maybe a little tight for the ceremony but our DJ took up a lot of space). We all fit in both gardens with room to spare! They were very accomodating with last minute addons too! We were able to also fit in a photo booth! Overall — LOVE! You won’t regret it!

Truly the best day ever! I know a lot of people say that about their wedding, but this truly was such a unique experience without having to go far. Most catering halls/wedding venues on Long Island all feel very similar and offer pretty much the same options just plated slightly different. At Navy Beach, you experience a unique venue, amazing & not very typical wedding food, attentive staff and views that go beyond words. Franklin responded to every email I sent within 24 hours, was super open and receptive to everything I wanted to do. From the guest experience, it was such a cool and fun wedding, nothing like they have experienced before. It truly is a diamond in the rough of venues on Long Island. I highly recommend for your event!!

I would highly recommend the Stone House at Clove Lake for any event! We had our wedding there the event coordinator was so helpful and responsive during the entire planning process. The day of wedding there was a giant snow storm. They made sure to do everything they could to stay open and are the reason our wedding day went as planned. We cannot thank them enough for that. The staff during the event was professional and very attentive. We had multiple guests come up to us to say what a great job they did. The food was delicious and I can't wait to celebrate there again!

My friend recently had her wedding there and the venue was absolutely breathtaking the staff was phenomenal very attentive the food tasted amazing and I really enjoyed myself at this venue they did an exceptional job with setting up assisting the bride and the cream and making sure that the event was stress-free their staff was very welcoming very attentive and gave you an excellent experience. They were very accommodating and friendly towards all the guests and works very well with the children to make sure that they were comfortable and that the whole event ran smoothly. If you get the chance to use this venue you should definitely contact Shelly Francella she will give you an exceptional experience and works very well with the bridal party and make sure that everything is done exactly how you want it she wants to make sure that you're having a good time and there is nothing you have to worry about you will have the time of your life working alongside her for you're special occasion.

We just got married at The Lodge @ Woodlawn Beach State Park and I can’t recommend it enough! Great location, beautiful inside area and bridal suite, outside woodsy area and beautiful beach with trellis. There was plenty of parking for guests and transportation to and from the ceremony to the lodge. The beach had a gorgeous view of the water for our ceremony. There was even some driftwood and a scenic spot right by the ceremony site to take pictures after. Truly my dream venue and I’m in love with it! Our wedding coordinator, Heather, was amazing and was so helpful the entire way through! She answered all my questions, came up with a timeline, worked our wedding the day of and even provided extra beach décor for our buffet and orderves tables. She truly made our special day a memorable exceperience. They also work with a lot of great vendors and provided us with a list early on. Ilio DiPaolo's caters the reception which was devine. We chose the Italian buffet which was amazing! I picked the top shelf liquor package package and it did not disappoint. Leanne the ceremony coordinator was fabulous as well. She made our rehearsal run smooth and answered any questions we had to put our minds at ease the night before the wedding. Our server Nick was wonderful and efficient. Our bartender Tyler kept the drinks flowing all night long, conversing with guests, and making sure I had a drink at all times with a smile on his face. I absolutely loved that they packed up all of our stuff in our totes after the wedding was over and we were allowed to come pick up our things the next day and it didn't have to be super early which was fabulous! A big thank you to all involved for making our wedding day so magical!!

We had a beautiful ceremony,cocktail hour and reception at Angelina's....the grounds were beautiful. Vincent and his staff were amazing and very attentive and all of the food was delicious.

One if by Land completely exceeded our expectations. My husband and I got married at One if by Land in March 2025. The venue is beautiful. The food is incredible. The staff is outstanding. We would highly recommend this venue. The events director, Lisa, made the whole day go smoothly. We placed our confidence in Lisa and she delivered. We could focus on enjoying the best day of our life because she had everything under control. In the months before, she was communicative, detail-oriented, and very clear. She helped arrange the in-house piano, ceremony music, and the general flow of the day. The staff were world class. They were more than just kind and attentive, but very personable. It was the kind of great service you’d hope for the most important day of your life. The food is amazing too. Our favorites were the scallops entree, the deserts (all of them!), and the espresso martini. Guests are able to select their own appetizer, entree, and desert the day-of (no meal decisions are needed ahead of time). The venue presents a wonderful flow for the day-of: there is a bar at the front + an extra room for the cocktail hour and the main floor is a lovely space for the ceremony and dining. In-house flowers were provided (roses on the tables, bar top, and other surfaces) and we opted to not add additional florals as the space feels more than sufficiently decorated (large open windows onto a garden, historic brick, stained glass, etc.). We were over the moon about our decision to get married at One if By Land. So glad we chose them.

Lee and MyMoon handled our wedding and created the best night of our lives (and apparently as we heard, the best night of a few other people's lives as well). From their care, to the food, the atmosphere, the attentiveness, the staff, and the love, we knew from the beginning working with Lee and MyMoon would be something special, but we had no idea it would be like this! Every single guest raved about Lee, the MyMoon team, the food, and the experience. We felt like we were able to just trust that everything was being taken care of and truly immerse ourselves in our day. When we were looking for a venue, every other manager we met before Lee made us feel like we were just another dollar, just another client. They were polite and professional, and I'm sure that would have been fine. Once we met Lee, we knew we couldn't settle for less. He saw us as people first, clients second. Eating at MyMoon and having any special event, especially as stressful as a wedding at MyMoon will make your day feel beyond words and with ease. The experience they created will have you and every guest gushing for years to come. We cannot wait to come back to eat here for every anniversary! Book them immediately!

Having our wedding at the Central Park Boathouse was one of the best decisions we made. Megan was absolutely incredible throughout the entire year. She was always responsive, accommodating, and genuinely excited to help bring our vision to life. She gave us the flexibility to create our own floor plan, which was so important to us, and whenever we wanted to bounce ideas off of her or needed advice, she was always there with thoughtful suggestions. She made the planning process fun and stress-free. Even when we had a few guests cancel at the last minute, she handled the changes without any issue, making what could have been a stressful situation completely seamless. On our wedding day, the entire staff was exceptional. From the bartenders and servers to the chefs and kitchen staff, everyone was professional, attentive, and incredibly kind. Our guests are still talking about how pleasant and organized the staff was and how their level of service made the evening feel so elegant and elevated. The culinary team was equally outstanding. The chef worked with us to customize our menu and was happy to make adjustments to fit exactly what we wanted. They were extremely organized when it came to accommodating food allergies and dietary restrictions, and every guest was taken care of without any confusion. The food was served quickly, was beautifully presented, and was absolutely delicious. Months later, our guests are still raving about it! The sea bass, ravioli, and beef entrées were all phenomenal. The venue itself is simply breathtaking. Having cocktail hour outside overlooking the pond in the heart of Central Park created the most magical atmosphere, and then transitioning into the beautiful reception space inside made the entire evening feel elegant, timeless, and uniquely New York City. It truly brought our wedding vision to life. Everything about our experience at the Central Park Boathouse exceeded our expectations. The professionalism, attention to detail, incredible food, beautiful setting, and outstanding service made our wedding day absolutely perfect. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing. We cannot recommend the Central Park Boathouse highly enough!
