  This past weekend I celebrated my wedding of 160 people at Dockers and it was absolutely amazing!! Larry, Kelsey, Chef Scott, Cailin and team all were so helpful every step of the way. They truly took my vision and brought it to life. Growing up in Quogue I knew I wanted to get married somewhere that had that local Long Island feel and was not your standard catering hall and Dockers proved to be just that! The view and atmosphere is the best around, The food was so delicious, the drinks were flowing, and everyone was having the best time. Every guest came up to my husband and I and said how amazing of a venue Dockers was and that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. If you are looking to throw an affair on Eastern Long Island I highly recommend looking into Dockers. The team is not only professional but they are easy and truly care.

  Dockers is the ultimate location for an intimate, chic and waterfront wedding. We got married on a stormy Saturday and I hadnt decided until last minute where we would get married (outside or in!?) the team at Dockers was incredibly professional, accommodating and detail oriented in ensuring everything was flawlessly executed. The tent and tables were set up perfectly, the ceremony on the dock was gorgeous and the food, well lets just say my guests are raving about having a 5 star meal at a wedding (rare, right?). The service of the team running the wedding was top notch and they went with the flow even after we extended our reception by 1.5hours to keep the party going. I cannot recommend Dockers highly enough; my wedding was everything I envisioned it to be, and more. Thank you to Larry, Fred and the whole Dockers crew! We will be back for more events as soon as I can find an excuse to throw another epic party!

  Dockers has everything a person can wish for in a waterfront venue: amazing food, amazing services, amazing sunsets. As a Hamptons wedding and event professional with East End Entertainment for over 20 years, Dockers has always been the goto spot for any celebration. When I hear the word Dockers, my mind escapes there. Ahhhh.

  Dockers Waterside did an amazing job for our wedding. From the beginning I was very picky about my venue, and I didn’t want a dark, oversized catering hall where people have their proms. But instead was looking for a venue that showed the beauty of Eastern Long Island – Dockers has just that. It’s on the bay side of Dune Road in Quogue/Hampton Bays and has multiple levels of docks right there on the water. The ocean side venues we looked at were also gorgeous, but at Dockers you can be right there on the dock, next to the water, and still be dancing or apart of the celebration.
  Our bridal party even took a boat (rented from Pontoon Paddler in Westhampton Beach) from the church town to Dockers. We then followed it with our first dance right there on the dock.
  
  Will, the event coordinator at Dockers did a wonderful job coordinating all our specific requests and decorations we brought. Him and his team took our vision and made it even more beautiful and everything ran smoothly. A huge bonus from working with Will was his responsiveness – as a bride stressing out about the details it’s so nice to have someone who answers emails, texts, calls, etc. in a timely manner.
  
  Because they are a restaurant full time the food was all delicious. They even made brownie sundaes for an additional dessert, which to some they were more of a hit than our cake!
  
  One thing to note is that when I visited and they explained how the three main spaces of the tent, dance bar area, and the buffet area all opened onto each other it was hard to picture. But once everything was all set up on the day of it worked so well! Overall, if you want a beautiful venue that creates a more intimate and unique setting Dockers will do a great job.

  We had our dream wedding at Dockers last weekend and I could not imagine a more perfect day. Working with Fred and Chef Scott has been amazing and they did everything possible to make sure that our day was as perfect as we wanted it to be. Every little detail was taken into account and everything we wanted, we were able to get. Fred even went out of his way the night before to track down a special beer my family liked. While it was sometimes difficult to get an answer from Fred via email right away, I was patient and persistent and got my answers I needed. I understood that this is also a restaurant and my wedding was not the only thing on their mind. Both Chef Scott and Fred gave me their cell phone number and allowed me to text them as well. On our wedding day, Fred was there to make sure everything went smooth and Chef Scott was slicing our prime rib at the carving station. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful the wedding was and how amazing the food tasted. I loved that it was not a traditional wedding venue and was exactly what we were looking for. I was so sad when the day was over, but so thrilled with our venue selection.

  The best restaurant and caterer in the Hamptons. 30 years in the business should prove it. My only suggestion is to start early. Larry and his staff book events all year long.

  Chef Scott and Fred our catering director made the night so special, had many guests from out of town and a couple special needs, which they handled with ease. Wish we had our wedding at this beautiful location!

  Very long story short ...our wedding came out absolutely beautiful! I contemplated not writing a review because the day of my wedding went flawlessly!...However I feel there are a few things you should be warned about before choosing to have your wedding here. I considered my self a very low maintenance bride, and we had a very small and manageable wedding of around 50 people. I booked this event 1 year in advance with very high expectations...this is Dockers, in the "Hamptons", nothing but the best of service was expected! The event manager did such a poor job at communicating with me that I eventually gave up out of frustration and abandonment and let my mother take over! My phone calls mostly went unanswered, emails never returned or "never received", and of course there were the "returned phone calls" that I never got....! I had to call and complain about him several times in order to get his attention. When I finally did get his attention the responses I received were not that of someone who should be apologetic. As a bride, it is not too much to ask that someone maintain some correspondence while planning your special day. This man really should not have a career that requires him to appear like he cares about his job. Even my florist was aware of other couples who experienced the same problems with this person. Thank goodness for Missy, who stepped in at the very end in lieu of Fred's inattentiveness and lack of people skills. She really did pull it off in the end and was very apologetic for the rough beginning we had. Your wedding will come out beautiful in the end, just do not expect any hand holding or appreciation for your business at this place. If you can make it through dealing with these people you will be very pleased at the end result. The food was delicious and of very good quality, and the background for pictures is priceless.
