Dyker Beach Golf Course Reviews

My husband and I knew once we stepped foot on the golf course this was our venue. We must give a special shout out to our sales lead and coordinator Lila, bridal attendant Madison and Maitre D Andre for helping to execute a phenomenal wedding for us. The space is so pretty, food was excellent, white glove service on point and every detail just handled. I'm an admittedly type A person, and truly just was able to let go and let the team do what they do best. And they were the BEST!

Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

I am so happy I went with Dyker Beach Golf Course for my wedding venue - it delivered everything I wanted and more for my day. Working with Lila for planning was fantastic, and they were incredibly flexible as we figured out all the details. The food was delicious, the space was nice and roomy, and looked great day of with everything set up. My other vendors also had a very easy time working with them day of.

My husband and I got married last week. Everything was perfect, Bella is absolutely amazing! She explained everything with patience and made the experience of planning wonderful. The food was excellent, and the room was absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding ! The grounds are beautiful for photos as well no need to stop somewhere for photos!

This venue was top notch from the first day I met Bella to the very moment I left the venue on my wedding day. EVERYONE was warm and accommodating, the venue itself is stunning and the food was perfection. Everyone at the wedding told me how much they love the venue and how much fun they had. Everything about this place is great! If you are considering having your wedding or another event here go for it. The best part of all is that it doesn't come anywhere near to breaking the bank. I can't imagine getting more anywhere else. THANK YOU to Dyker for helping my big day be a perfect day. I look forward to having a few anniversary dinners there.

We had such an incredible time at Dyker Beach. Bella was very friendly, helpful and flexible from the start. She helped us through any detail or question, and helped us find a time slot that worked for a good price, even though we only had a couple months to plan. We were thrilled to be able to have our wedding on a Saturday (morning) for the price offered, when several places we tried previously were out of our range, or booked for Saturdays, or both! The Gazebo was a beautiful setting, surrounded by flowers and trees. It felt so much more authentic being in a naturally shaded and landscaped area near a historic building, than many of the other wedding venue places that have a somewhat artificial-feeling outdoor setting. It also helped that there was a rain plan in the gorgeous tent, so I didn't have to worry. The food and service was simply amazing. Our Matre D, Kim, knew exactly what to do, and helped fill in any gaps, direct and help. Dancing at the wedding was important to us, so the Ballroom space with the brand new dance floor was simply perfect for us and our guests. We had just over 100 guests and plenty of room to dance and socialize. The room can accommodate quite a bit more than what we had. We're from Brooklyn, and so we were thrilled to be able to find such a beautiful place at the price we did - it was both accessible to guests staying in the city (with or without a car), but also had a parking lot and ample indoor/outdoor space, which would have been a challenge at many other places in NYC. We couldn't have been happier with the choice.

This place is the place to be to get married in Brooklyn. From going to the venue for the first time to dancing at the wedding reception, the people at DB have been friendly and professional. Bella is the sweetest person you will ever meet and is a true professional. She made the process so easy, and catered to our needs and concerns. She answers back promptly, even to the seemingly silliest questions, and sympathizes with your stresses.
Now, the venue is positively gorgeous. It literally took me and my husband's breath away. After we saw the place, we immediately knew we had to make the place fit our budget and Bella helped us make it happen. The golf course is exquisite. The gazebo area we had the wedding was beautiful and well groomed. We didn't have to do much to make the ceremony beautiful because the flowers surrounding it were colorful and gorgeous. The bridal suite was spacious and fit for a queen. The grand ballroom... that was the thing that made us immediately say yes. It is huge and stunning. Ceiling length windows, beautiful chandeliers, polished carpeting, gold chairs. It's hard to beat. As long as you don't put holes in the walls, you can decorate the place any way you want. You get a lot of leeway. Also, there's free valet parking, which was great for our guests.
The wedding day went off without a hitch, due in large part to the DB team. The bridal attendant went above and beyond to make my day go smoothly. Even when we forgot our marriage license in the bridal suite, the attendant ran in there and got it. The maitre d was fantastic and a true professional. He made sure things went according to plan.
The food came with the package, which was another factor that made us choose the place. You have a variety of options to choose from and can taste test at a later time. The food tasted great. My guests loved it. They are tough critics so their rave reviews mean a lot. The service was excellent. The waiters were sharp, organized and professional. For example, the waiters put the food on the tables in sync every time. My guests were very impressed.
All in all, if you're on the fence, do it. The price is worth what you're getting and then some.

This venue made all our dreams come true. The proffesionalism and attention to detail was amazing. Not to mention how beautiful the place is. Bella the event coordinator was the most attentive person I ever met. She answer all our questions no matter the time or day. Our bridal attendant Melanie was amazing so patient with my bridal party. Very affordable definitely recommend it

I am so happy to have had my wedding at the Dyker Beach Golf Course! It was a wonderful day and my guests are still talking about how beautiful the gazebo and reception room was, how pretty the stunning view of the golf course was from the patio, and how delicious all of the food was. I am lucky to have been assigned Belladonna Lucas as my Private Event Sales manager as she is truly an exceptional human being. Bella could not have been more friendly, supportive, or patient. She was 100% accessible and incredibly accommodating. She treated me like a high end client though I was far from it. Bella was available at any time to answer my many questions by text, email or phone (and I had many). She carefully listened to my multicultural vision for the wedding and went above and beyond to make sure that my special requests were met and that the day went smoothly. For example, she made sure that the chef was able to accommodate my vegan and gluten free guests, that my vendors had all of the information they needed and gave them extra time to set up, and even offered babysitting services for our child guests! Bella was also there every step of the way so I always felt confident that the wedding would work out smoothly. She arranged a beautiful tasting for us at the venue complete with 2 delicious wedding cake options and additional Italian gluten free cookies. The cookies were just one of many additional perks Bella provided free of charge. My Maitre’D Nick and bridal attendant Melanie were also exceptional. Nick was available to do whatever I needed. Among many things too numerous to list here, he helped us prepare for the ceremony, decorate the reception room, and greeted and directed my guests as they arrived. He and Melanie were also available for little but important things like bringing me bottled water to make sure I was hydrated throughout the day and helping set up the bustle on my dress. They even prepared a breakfast platter for me and brought food from the cocktail hour to the bridal suite for my husband and I! Overall Dyker Beach golf course is a fantastic venue with exceptional staff, stunning views, incredible food and many amenities! I recommend Dyker Beach Golf course highly and without reservation! Thank you everyone for making my wedding day beautiful and stress-free.

Michael and I were recently married at Dyker Beach Golf Course and it was an EPIC day! From our frst encounter with Carlo, Lila and their team it was flawless service. The day of the wedding I had no worries at all, everything was taken care of down to the last detail. Any requests I had or concerns were quickly taken care of. Our Matre D Michael made sure everything was perfect! Since that day ALL of my guests have reached out to us and have remarked on how impressed they were by the venues service, excellent food and amazing location! To quote them "It's the best wedding I've been to in a long time". For Michael and I it made our already special day into an EPIC one!! Thank you to everyone at Dyker Beach golf course for giving me a wedding that we will never forget!!

Bella is amazing. She is extremely responsive! Very accepting and open to my ideas and always willing to help!!

We just had our daughter and future son-in-laws engagement brunch here in March. The coordinator was amazing! The staff was amazing! The reception room was amazing! The food was AAAAAmazing!
Looking forward to having many more family events here!

Belladonna,
Thank you so much for all your assistance, guidance and follow through for Michael's 60th Surprise Birthday Party. You rocked it!!! You were so personable, and readily available to help me when I had any question or needed to make adjustments to the planning. Nothing was a problem for you. I feel that I have made a new friend.
Your experience and knowledge gave me the information I was looking for and covered all questions I had. You even presented question and answers I wasn’t aware of. You listened and understood the concept I was going for and saw it through to completion. I can’t believe it, but the day of the party I had no worry, and you know I worry about everything. I knew you were in charge, and that when we arrived it would be perfect, and it was.
The event was such a success and I owe that all to you. When I had doubt and apprehension about the kitchen, food quality, and service staff you gave me the confidence to have faith that you would deliver the excellence I was looking for, and you did. Your team was on point, the food was delicious and the service was very polite and attentive. The event room, was just as I had imagined, the banner and decorations looked so professional. All the feed back I received was so positive, and put a new light on Dyker Beach Golf Course for everyone who had not yet attended a party/event there. At least three-quarters or more of the people attending were golfer’s and they were very impressed. Even though Michael and I came in later than we expected, missing the majority of the cocktail party, our guests commented on how much fun they were having and the great amount and quality of the food Funny but a few out-of-towners thought it was the meal!
What I am trying to say is you made my, our dream come true, and I can’t thank you enough.
Look forward to stopping in and saying hi next time we are at the course.
Warmest regards and best wishes for the coming Spring. See you soon.
(Thanks Again!!!!)

I recently met with Bella regarding our upcoming wedding. Bella was extremely patient with my many questions and very accommodating as there were some scheduling issues on our end with my fiancé getting the subway to Brooklyn from Manhattan. Bella was not only attentive and explained everything in detail but was super nice and hilarious. Just a great person to meet. We did not choose this venue ONLY because we decided on a destination wedding out of the country. Had we chosen to have our celebration here BELLA WAS OUR ABSOLUTE FIRST PICK.

Best venue ever !! Carlo and Laila are AMAZING!! i had the most amazing wedding thanks to you both ❤️❤️❤️

My wife and I feel like we made the best decision by deciding to go with Dyker Beach Golf Course for our wedding. Almost all of our guests came up to us and told us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and a major reason for that is because we picked the perfect venue. The place is beautiful. We love the patio, especially when it's lit up at night. We loved having an outdoor ceremony there, and the hall was beautiful too. The food was amazing. And the staff was incredible, especially Lila and Carlo who were very easy to work with, very accomodating and friendly, and they helped us plan the ideal wedding. The attentiveness of our maitre'd, Michael, and bridal attendant, Melissa, who ran the show, and made sure we had everything we needed, was just the icing on the cake!

We looked at a lot of venues before picking Dyker Beach. We are so glad we made the right decision because we couldn't have asked for a better wedding or a more beautiful place. I recommend Dyker Beach Golf Course to anyone looking to have a special event. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Sandy & Diana

Our wedding at Dyker Beach Golf Course was on Aug 12, 2017, and it was absolutely perfect! We had our ceremony in the garden.. so beautiful with the flowers and greens surrounding us. Cocktail hour was in the Great Room and spread out into the patio which our guests loved because they were able to take pics with the green course as a backdrop. Our reception was held in the Grand Ballroom and with the white uplighting it was so beautiful, big enough to hold my party of 200. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how lovely this venue was, how nice the staff was and how great the food was.. even though I didn't get to eat.

Our sales rep, Lila, was the best. She worked with us to make this all happen. My bridal attendant, Sarahi, was so sweet and attentive. She made sure we always had food and drinks. Our matre d, Nick, was so helpful with everything. There were some slight miscommunications, not Nick's fault and unnoticed by our guests, but he fixed them right away. Some of my guests were still sitting at their tables once the party ended yelling "I don't wanna leave yet!!"

Our guests had a great time and so did we. Highly, HIGHLY recommend Dyker Beach Golf Course for your wedding.. ask for Lila, she's absolutely wonderful... AND INVITE ME AS A GUEST SO I CAN TASTE THE FOOD!!

We had our wedding at Dyker Beach on 9.17.16 after waiting several years to get married there. All I can say is -it was everything we dreamed of and well worth the wait!

The venue itself is just so beautiful-- the lush green of the golf course, the charming gazebo, the lovely patio, the colonial-styled interior- gorgeous! Being a professional wedding planner myself, it was easy to work closely with Vicky, who was always responsive to our requests and provided great direction on our menu selection and wedding day logistics. Dyker allowed us to store our décor both before and after the event (some venues will not allow this, or will restrict the hours of drop-off/pick-up) and on the day of worked closely with our own staff of coordinators and security personnel flawlessly. On the day of, we were well taken care of. Our bridal suite was wonderfully cozy, and the event planner Sherry was the BEST! She attended to all of our requests and needs quickly, was very friendly, and made certain we had all the cocktail hour food and drink in the bridal suite. Nick our Maitre d, was also very friendly and seamlessly managed the entire night's dining, including coordination with the kitchen as well as the bridal party introductions with the DJ . And the food...the food was A M A Z I N G, our guests are still raving about how wonderful the food was! The wait staff served all of our guests' meals in a timely and professional manner, and were attentive to any special requests. During the wedding many of our guests made a point of telling us that our wedding was fantastic and the venue was elegant and one of the best they've ever seen!

Most of the reason why we had a perfect day is because we made the best decision and booked the perfect venue-- Dyker Beach Golf Course! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Dyker Beach for making our wedding day as special as it was and for giving both ourselves and our guests an experience I'm sure we'll all remember for the rest of our lives!

Simply beautiful! Gorgeous venue! Delicious food! We couldn't have picked a better venue for our day!

I just had my ceremony and reception at Dyker Beach Golf Course and was so impressed by every detail! From the initial planning to the main event, the staff was on point. The day before the wedding I was getting nervous that it might be a little chilly for our outdoor ceremony, so I asked Dyker if they'd be able to provide tea or hot chocolate for the guests to help keep them warm. They replied, "no problem at all!" Our guests were not only impressed with the amount of food, but with the quality. The cocktail hour and reception ran so smoothly thanks to our wonderful Maitre D' and Bridal Attendant. I would definetly recommend Dyker Beach for anyone planning a wedding!

I had my wedding ceremony and reception on 2/12/16, small party of 63, everything was great, the food, the service and the timeliness of it all. They were extremely catering to my requests and made sure everything ran smoothly, highly recommend!

We had a day wedding in August 2015 at Dyker Beach Golf Course. We did both our ceremony (outdoor) and reception (indoor, with outdoor patio access) at Dyker. The venue itself is beautiful, located on a golf course so the greens are kept well-manicured and the building is a NYC landmark that has been well-maintained yet still preserves its historical elegance. There is a large parking lot at the venue which is very hard to find in NYC and was key for helping us to accomodate many of our guests who were travelling in for the day. The food & the drinks were by far the best I've ever had at a wedding and even on par with a high end restaurant. Our guests all commented the same satisfaction with food and drinks. The service received by everyone from the bartenders to the maitre'd was hands on and accessible but never disruptive. Many of our guests commented that our wedding was the most fun they've ever attended and keep in mind we had a day wedding! Though the wedding itself was truly a perfect day, the planning was just as fun. This was largely due to our knowledgeable, kind, and patient Private Event Director, Eman. From the moment we met Eman and saw the venue, my parents and I knew that Dyker was the right venue for us. Due to geographic convenience and parking, it was the first venue we saw and our experience was so positive from the start, it was the only venue we visited. I couldn't be happier with our choice to have our wedding at Dyker and am beyond grateful to the staff of the venue and particularly for the efforts of Eman to provide us with not only a more perfect wedding day but such a wonderful and largely stress-free planning experience leading up to it.

All I can say is AMAZING!!! The staff was incredibly helpful and responsive to all out needs leading up to the wedding and the day of went off with no issues! They were super attentive to put needs and we never wanted for a thing. The food was outstanding and everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you doesn't even come close to being enough!!!

Dyker Beach Golf Course Is AMAZING! They offer wonderful cater meals for any parties with great WORLD CLASS wait staffs!

My husband and I were married at Dyker on 10/18/14 and had an amazing experience. Carlo was so warm and welcoming, also very knowledgeable about the wedding process, the staff is very caring and flexible, the quality of food received rave reviews from our guests and the waiters were very professional. The chef did a masterful job with the food, our guests are still talking about the great food. We had a magically day there and highly recommend Dyker to any bride.

Food was outrageous. Service professional but not 'stiff' . Our guests are still complimenting the venue , food and service. Amazing how all 196 dinners were served hot and cooked to perfection.
This venue is a gem in Brooklyn.

I planned to have a wedding in Mexico and at the very last minute (two months before my wedding,) I had to change venues. I found Dyker Beach on-line and booked an appointment. From the moment I entered the door, I knew this was my wedding venue!

Carlo my sales rep was warm, welcoming and made me feel confident that my wedding would be an event that I would remember for a lifetime.
Once I met the wedding planner Vicky, for my first meeting I knew I was in good hands. Vicky hands down is one of the best wedding planners! She follows up quickly, knows her job well and will go above and beyond to make your event special.

On October 17th, 2014, I had the best wedding ever! Friends and family still can't stop talking about what a great wedding we had. The food, service, lighting, decor, and staff can't be beat. My wedding attendant (sherry) was the best. She made sure I had everything I needed and made me feel like queen for the day.

If you are looking for a beautiful venue, lush green grounds, great food and wonderful service, Dyker is the place to go.

The team at Dyker--especially Carlo & Vicky were just amazing partners form start to finish. They literally made my wedding dreams come true. All of my guests raved about the food and couldn't believe just how beautiful the venue location was. Having the beauty of the golf course while enjoying cocktail hour in the indoor and outdoor locations, as well as the stunning ball room with up-lighting and beautiful decor just made the whole night special. An added bonus is the amazing staff, including dedicated maitre d'e and bridal attendant that ensure everything flows and is on target throughout the evening and really takes away from any stress for the brides and groom. I am so happy I had my wedding at Dyker and would absolutely recommend it as wedding venue--it is a hidden gem in Brooklyn!

My wedding day was absolutely amazing due to the wonderful and professional staff of Dyker Beach Golf Course! My day went off without any issues and all I hear is amazing reviews from my guests about it! The food was amazing and the venue is beautiful!! I highly recommend Dyker Beach!

This is a pre-event review. I am so impressed with Dyker Beach Golf Course! From the very beginning their professionalism, courtesy, and service has been impeccable. They have made the preparation for our event so much easier. I have no doubt our guests will be just as impressed on the special day. I definitely recommend their services.

Decor: Parts of Dyker are a bit dated, but I think it works well if you're going for a garden or vintage theme. We were all about lace and flowers, so it worked well for us. I'm not crazy about a gazebo, so they allowed us to use the patio which was a great alternative. It had panoramic views of the golf course and a beautiful backdrop of the Verrazano. Also, i really wanted square or rectangular tables, but this wasn't an option. I could've spent the money to rent them, but when you have a budget you have to cut your losses someplace. The team at dyer worked with me to find a floor plan that I loved (even taking out various heavy tables and re-arranging them in front of me so I could get a feel for everything). We ultimately went with a combination of round and oval tables.
Food: Everybody at the wedding said they were stuffed because they couldn't stop eating; it was so good. My husband even ignored our guests at one point to chow down on his filet mignon. They also made sure the bridal party was well fed in the bridal suite as my make up artist touched our make up during cocktail hour. Even if I'm judging beyond "wedding hall" criteria, it was really yummy.
Service: I could go on and on about Vicky and Carlo and about how awesome they are. No question is too trivial for them to answer, and they're always warm and inviting when you see them/ call them. I also want to mention my maitre'd and bridal attendant. They made sure we always had a drink in hand, food to eat, and ensured everything went smoothly as we needed some adjustments to scheduling to accommodate our photography hours and our chinese tea ceremony.
Ultimately, we LOVE Dyker. They put on a beautiful affair for us at awesome prices. The people are just good, down-to-earth, kind-hearted people who want you to have an amazing day no matter the occasion. Thank you Dyker Beach Golf Course!

I continue to use Dyker Beach Golf Course due to the leadership of Debbie Giasemis. Debbie always comes through for me when it comes to planning all my events. As mentioned to Mr. Paul Major of American Golf in my correspondence to him back in November of 2013, I am thrilled to be working with Debbie again since I am involved with many different groups in Bay Ridge and throughout Brooklyn..
I am also very please with the staff. They made the night exceptional. I had one issue the night of the event, but Andre that was taking care of us for the evening came up with a solution and he was able to execute it. The memebers of St. Patrick Society of Brooklyn and our guests had a great night.

i Just had my wedding 1 week ago and i was dying to come back from my honeymoon to write this review. This place was amazing from day one!! Gorgeous venue courteous staff!! Since we met with Carlo Lenzi when we we were just looking at venues. We were totally impressed and after that it was no more looking. They accommodated us to do a special rehearsal few weeks before the wedding with no rush from anyone.The day of the wedding working with Kim and Julie was a delight they were so easy to work with and made every single guest feel great and allowed me and my husband to actually enjoy our wedding. The food super delicious not one person have one bad thing to say about it. My only recommendation to couples is to make sure you follow up on the food tasting and cake tasting because you're told one person contact u about it and it never happen well at least that happen to us. We had to harass Carlo about it but of course he went out his way to make it happen(he's awesome). Overall this place is totally worth it and if you want the best service for you and your guest you will not be dissapointed!!!!! If you havent had your wedding here then you've done something wrong!

My husband and I have a great time doing business with Dyker Beach Golf Course. Vicky made our wedding day stress-free! All of the staff were so polite, helpful and very professional. As far as the food goes, it was so excellent that majority of our guests mentioned that they have the best wedding food ever! I would highly recommend this wonderful venue that has it all!

Great place to have almost any type of event... Staff is friendly... Service was good... Food was good... and the ambiance is wonderful... We had our post wedding party there and everyone had a great time...

The Dyker Beach Golf Course made our wedding absolutely phenomenal. The food was excellent, the venue was beautiful, the staff was superb and they made our day so special. From our first meeting, to our tasting, to our final meeting and actual wedding we were thrilled. We never had one glitch with them and they literally exceeded our expectations. We wish we could go back and be guests at our own wedding because that is how many good things we keep hearing over and over again.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND DYKER BEACH. They know what they are doing and care, their staff goes above and beyond.

Wow wow wow! Where to start?! Dyker beach is the most beautiful place! I had my wedding there last Sunday Oct 13 2013 and everything was absolutely fabulous!!!! So good in fact that I (an admitted pain in the neck perfectionist) had to sign up for YELP and write this review while on my honeymoon because I could not wait another second to thank everyone! My husband and I could not have asked for more or better or anything at all really on our wedding day! The food was perfect, the venue gorgeous, everything so smooth and wonderful thanks in no small part to the FABULOUS Kim (we had so many small details and she just nailed it!!!) and AMAZING Julie (By my side for whatever I could possibly need!!!) But even before the wedding Dyker did not disappoint with unbelievable knowledge and accommodation from Debbie! And Vicky Vicky Vicky!!!! She was so completely fabulous and kept us right on track. She dealt beautifully with my mother (no easy feat) and got every single thing right on - the first time! It was such a pleasure dealing with her! There cannot be a better place to get married or a more wonderful set of people to help you celebrate such an important day... I cannot thank all of you enough! My husband was completely floored by and loved everything - we still can't stop talking about the event ourselves and have heard nothing but positive reviews from our guests! Additionally, after leaving my laptop and my husband's projector at the venue after the wedding we were worried the items would have disappeared - but of course they didn't! Vicky had them safe and sound, along with a leather jacket left behind by a guest that we hadn't even realized was missing!

Having our wedding at Dyker Beach was the best decision! If you are considering Dyker then you are already on your way to a fabulous wedding!

PS- Shout out to an amazing valet who dealt with a belligerent guest with perfect and choice professionalism (epic!)

Wow!! What could I say about Dyker Beach Golf Course. Just the atmosphere and staff speaks for itself. Every staff member are unbelievable wonderful. Debbie, Vicki are two amazing women. From the first time we met, they helped us every way possible. Without them and the staff I wouldn't been able to have the wedding of my dreams. From the very first day to the last, the staff was there for me. My guest was pleased with the food, environment and hospitality they received. They were catered from beginning to the very end.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a charity golf outing and gala at Dyker Beach and truly if I could award Dyker Beach Golf Course 6 stars I would.

From the first telephone call with Debbie to a morning-after visit to Vicky for extra materials, every moment of the development and coordination of our event was stunning and flawless. As Vice President of The Johnny Mac Foundation and chair of our annual Golf Outing and Gala, I was thrilled by the opportunity to move our full day event from the private clubs on Long Island to the rolling greens of Brooklyn. Without hesitation I can say that the powerhouse staff from Pro Shop to Events put those private clubs to shame!

Our 250+ guests were overwhelmed with the five star treatment they received from a fantastic breakfast buffet during registration to the beautiful course, attentive staff, on-course refreshments and amenities. The event was topped off with cocktails on the patio and an evening reception that is still being buzzed about daily. And keep in mind this event went off on the hottest July day in NYC history.

Every bite of food throughout the day, morning to night was perfection and all of our guests were just thrilled - and putting in RSVPs for next year contingent upon The Foundation promising to host the event at Dyker once again!

I will also add that the evening was made all the more spectacular on a personal note as the truly wonderful event staff let by the lovely maitre d' Kim kindly conspired with several special people and helped my boyfriend pull off hands down the greatest proposal of all time. Yes, right in the middle of our evening gala. Yes, in front of about 300 people.

As a private event planner, an avid golfer, and part of the Foundation Board, I can't say enough wonderful things about the Entire staff of Dyker. If you are planning an event, they belong at the top of your list.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Dyker Beach Golf Course in March 2013. Best venue! Our guests said it best. "Best food they've had at any wedding, the place was elegant & classy, the service was superb." We arrived at Dyker, and the maitre'd, Nick, and bridal attendant, Eman, took care of everything! The rooms for the cocktail hour, the ballroom and especially the bridal suite were spacious and lovely. You can't go wrong having an elegant event at Dyker Beach Golf Course.

My 60th birthday party was fabulous. Great job. Parties can stay in Brooklyn

I recently had my wedding at Dyker Beach Golf Course on September 14, 2012 and it was absolutely the best decision I made. The outdoor ceremony in the gazebo was beautiful and the ability for the guest to enjoy the cocktail hour indoors and outdoors was a plus!! Even a nice group of golfers stopped their game so we can hit some balls before our ceremony. This made for some great photographs. Dyker surely is a gem right in the heart of Brooklyn.
Bruno, Deborah and Vicky were super helpful and treated us as if they knew us for years! On the day of our wedding the staff went above and beyond to help us with whatever needs we had. The grounds were nicely decorated with bright beautiful flowers and the food was delicious! We had a wide variety of different foods for our guest to enjoy. The foodie’s in the room including myself were impressed with all of the selections.
I want to thank Dyker Beach Golf course for making our day so special. We had such a great time and our guests are still talking about our wedding! The combination of a great venue, great food, positive energy in the room, and great music made our special day a huge success!!!

Thanks again the Eppolitos
Wedding – September 14, 2012

had my wedding at Dyker Beach Golf Course on July 21st and I could not be a happier bride. My guests raved about the food and they loved the overall venue. The staff was professional and the food was delicious, exactly as it was during my tasting. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. The venue is in Brooklyn so you get more space and the lush landscaping, but has a Manhattan vibe. It's close to Manhattan where my city friends cab it to the wedding. Dyker does one wedding at a time so there is no sharing of space or concern about running into another bride. The staff is complete dedicated to YOUR wedding. Vicky, the event coordinator is the sweetest person you can work with and dealt with all my questions for months. The maître'd, Santiago, Nick and team were on top of everything and made sure to check on us constantly. They even apologized for checking up on us so much!! Finally, I cannot find enough words to explain the immense gratitude and appreciation I have for my bridal attendant, Eman. I've been a bridesmaid a few times and I've seen many many bridal attendants, all of which I thought were attentive and helpful. Eman takes it to another level! She made sure I was comfortable, fed, my wedding party were in the right place, sewed my groom's jacket button when it fell off and made sure I had a glass of champagne in my hand. My new husband who thought weddings in general are overblown and cost too much money was extremely impressed with Dyker and couldn't be happier.

To the brides to out there: Dyker is THE venue you need to consider for your wedding.

Jon and I could not be happier with Dyker Beach Golf Course. Not only is the place beautiful but the food was AMAZING! Our guests cant stop raving about the the food and especially the raw bar!!!
All the little details we envision for that day came out exactly how we envisioned and we could not be more grateful for they way everything worked out.
Our even Planner Vicky was easy to work with, fun and professional. She knew exactly what we wanted and did everything she could to make our day perfect. We also really loved our bridal attendant Emon She was there for everything we needed and i knew we didnt have one thing to worry about because she had it all covered.
All of the staff was attentive & responsive and fun to work with. Thank you to the entire staff! we love you guys!
Jon and Nicole Scarpa

First of all, the staff members at Dyker Beach are phenomenal. We worked with Vicky and Debbie leading up to the event and Bobby, John and Eman the day of. Everyone went out of the way to ensure a smooth, beautiful event and took all of the pressure off of us. The prices are VERY reasonable and the grounds and event space are gorgeous. I can't rave about it enough. There are so many overpriced venues in NYC and we really felt like we got MORE at Dyker than at more expensive venues. Everyone at our wedding loved the space and food. Thank you so much Dyker for a perfect wedding day.

We got married on Nov 11 2011. Choosing Dyker Beach Golf Course as our wedding venue/caterer was one of the best decisions we ever made. The planning process from the beginning to the end was very pleasant with the Dyker staff. The results were breathtaking. It exceeded our expectations. They added a couple of touches on the day of the wedding, which was great and didn't go unnoticed. They were so organized and made our day flow so smoothly. The food and catering was top notch. They were always asking if we needed anything, including our guests. Whatever you asked, they did without a problem. Very professional and they always work with you when it comes to requests. Everyone, including the guests, were amazed on the beautiful venue and the excellent service. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding thanks to Dyker!

-Thanks again from Shane & Joannie Perry

WOW! We just had our wedding at Dyker Beach and everything was absolutely perfect! The staff, from the wedding planner to the maitre de to the bridal attendant to the waitstaff and everyone in between was so helpful and professional. The food was fantastic, we had many people tell us it was the best cocktail hour spread they have ever seen, and the main courses were amazing. The place is gorgeous and they made our night absolutely wonderful. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
Thank you so much for everything!!!

We could not have picked a better venue. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, service and overall atmosphere. The service was above all of our expectations. We would encourage everyone to book Dyker!

I had my ceremony and reception at Dyker. It was fabulous. The sales staff was great. Jeanine, we love you. You made everything so worry free. You are such an asset to DBGC. All of the planning and preperations went so smoothly. It was a complete pleasure working with the staff. Jeanine always answered my crazy questions anytime day or night. The event was beautiful. Everything was perfect. My bridal attendant made sure all my girls had a vodka tonic in hand throughout all of it. We had our pictures done inside because it rained that day and they are beautiful. The service at the event was top
notch as was the food and everything else. My guests has no worries with parking. The valet service was a huge plus, especially in Bay Ridge. If you are considering having your venue here please take the time to see it in person. You will not be disappointed. Cocktail hour was amazing as was dinner. We hired a band for cocktail hour and the staff was so curteous and helpful with them as well as all of our vendors. If you would like to email me I'd be happy to answer any questions and share my experience with you. Schurak@gmail.com. A big thanks to everyone at Dyker for making our wedding day better than we could have ever hopes. A beautiful venue and a great staff. Many thanks!

Sam and Miguel

This was a wonderful venue for us to have our reception. The grounds are beautiful and we really had a great setting for our photos. The cocktail hour was wonderful--we still have friends and family telling us it was the best cocktail hour they've ever attended.

The valet parking was a major plus. Location is perfect for those driving from New Jersey and easy to get to from all parts of NYC.

All the staff were super attentive and friendly. We had left a wedding gift and the next day my husband went back to pick it up and he was greeted with a hug! Everyone was so gracious and made sure that our event went smoothly. They made sure we were comfortable in our suite and incredibly friendly--again someone told me it was the nicest service at a wedding they had experienced.

We looked at 3 or 4 venues around NYC but really wanted a Brooklyn wedding and reception. The space, the cost, the staff , the food and drink top notch and the setting made for a terrific event. Be prepared...it goes fast!!!!

Dyker Beach Golf Course was amazing! Jeanine, who helped coordinate our wedding, was fantastic to work with throughout the planning. The ballroom was gorgeous for the reception - it was so much better than one of those "manufactured" wedding halls. All of our guests raved about the food and how delicious it was. The staff was completely outstanding and professional. We were so happy with Dyker Beach Golf Course, and I highly recommend them to other brides.

This place was absolutely fantastic! The space was remarkable, everything was beautiful, and worked perfectly. The staff was unbelievable in making sure we had everything we wanted. They worked well with our vendors and made sure everything was ready on time and ran smoothly. We also had our ceremony there and it was absolutely beautiful! The gazebo with the golf course backdrop was more than we could have asked for! Overall, an amazing experience!

All I can say is they made my dreams come true! They were so amazing on my wedding day (May 15, 2010), that I had nothing to worry about. They all did the thinking for me. It was the best day of my life.

They were with me every step of the way, from booking a year in advance, to talking me down when I would freak out about choices. I felt so comfortable with the entire staff.
My guests absolutely loved the day and were totally impressed that such a place even existed in Brooklyn.

The staff was over-the-top nice and worked with us to make sure we got everything we wanted. They helped us create our own unique wedding and it was the best day of my life!

Everything about my Daughter's Wedding at the Dyker Beach Golf Course was OVER THE TOP!

The facility, management and staff were wonderful!

The Wedding could not have been better!

This is a tremendously under-rated venue. We just had our wedding there and couldn't be happier. The staff is phenomenal and they are beyond accommodating. We worked directly with Lila, who is a dream Venue Coordinator. We also worked with Andre as our Day-of-Coordinator, and he was beyond helpful. Highly recommend the space. You can have your ceremony outdoors (as we did) and reception/cocktail indoors. The best experience.

This is by far the most under-rated venue in New York City. When searching for venues in New York, my wife and I were quickly becoming exasperated by all the extremes - too expensive, too dated, too far, too modern, too kitschy... but then we came across Dyker. Almost right away we were sold - the price was right, the grounds were beautiful, and the staff was so friendly.

When our wedding came around, we were even more certain we chose correctly. We had a few tastings of the food (and both the portions and flavors were perfect) and all of our preparations had been smooth thanks to the helpfulness and responsiveness of the staff. The event went off without a hitch. Everything we wanted was taken care of, and they thought of things we weren’t even aware of in order to make the day special. We recommend Dyker Beach for any other couples, and can't speak highly enough of the venue and the staff. Special thanks to Andre, Vicky, Jordan, Bruno and everyone else who worked hard to make our wedding incredible.

My husband and I were married at the Dyker Beach Golf Course on October 22, 2011. I consider myself a critic and a perfectionist, but I can honestly say from start to finish our wedding day was perfect!

We were married outside at the Gazebo and it was beautiful. We were very lucky to have a sunny day. The outside area is beautiful and overlooks the golf course. That is where we decided to take our pictures -- right on the golf course. I haven't seen the proofs yet, but I know they will be beautiful.

The food, which is probably the # 1 thing people care about, is fantastic. From the cocktail hour to the Venetian Hour, everything was outstanding. Our guests have not stopped raving about how great the food was. We had gone for a tasting and was blown away. We were surprised that the food was as good as during the tasting.

The staff at Dyker is exceptional. Robert, the Director of Food and Beverage Operations, was so welcoming and genuinely made us feel as though everything was under control. Vicky was our main point of contact during the months of planning and she was terrific. I hope Dyker appreciates how thorough and professional Vicky is -- she was a delight to work with, especially in the stressful days leading up to it. During our wedding day, Dyker provides a day of wedding coordinator. Our wedding coordinator was Eman. She was so helpful and kept the party moving on time. It was a real perk having her there.

I really have nothing to say bad about the venue. Our day was perfect and it was everything I dreamed my wedding day would be!

Thank you for everything!

Gina & Michael

Our wedding at Dyker Beach Golf Course was AMAZING! The ball room, cocktail room, and terrace were beautiful. The service was impeccable. All the servers were friendly, courteous, and efficient to everyone. My bridal attendant was wonderful. She was never in the way but always there if I needed a hand. The bartenders were great. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests have been raving about the food and service to this day! Everything ran smoothly. My husband and I are SO pleased with our wedding reception and how everything turned out.

Our wedding was everything we dreamed of at Dyker Beach! First off, Bella is absolutely amazing. From the beginning, she worked closely with my husband and I, planning and answering all of our questions. Dyker Beach is such a lovely venue. We got married in front of the gazebo and it couldn't have been more perfect. We loved having the multiple settings too. First we were outside for the ceremony. Then, our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour in one room. Finally, every one gathered in the ball room. The service was super professional and polished. I loved how there was a set menu with choices for each course and our guests could decide the night of. We didn't have to deal with tracking down everyone beforehand to see if they wanted meat or fish. My Mom did many of the decorations and Bella was very flexible with that. The only negative was my bridal attendant. She seemed new and somewhat aloof. There was a lot of confusion and delay getting us set up on the golf cart. We were told it would be ready for us right after the ceremony to take pictures and the attendant wasn't prepared. She also didn't know how to bustle my dress and misdirected us to enter the ballroom at the wrong time which was embarrassing, but later become a funny memory. All in all, pretty minor things to go wrong and I wouldn't change any of it. My husband and I are so glad we chose Dyker Beach and will cherish the beautiful day we had last August for a lifetime.

The staff at dyker was amazing . I would recommended to everyone. We just got married on 7/21/19. The event coordinator Bella was amazing she really took time to answer all our questions no matter the time or day. They really know what they are doing. The day went on so smooth I cant believe how magical they made us feel.
Our bridal attendant Melanie was excellent she took great care of us always attentive to make sure we had everything we need it.
Hands down the best experience ever. The food, the staff ,the grounds everything is so well taking care off.

we have our wedding at mother day this year, service is very good except it is a raining day. Bella help us to run the whole wedding smoothly, we are very happy and same as our guest. The place is large enough to have over hundreds of guests, very roomy, food is good, and overall experience is excellent .

Simply one of the best venues in Brooklyn. The food is scrumptious, the staff is professional and the grounds / rooms are beautiful. My husband and I were married on 8/13 and were beyond pleased with everything. If you are looking for a Brooklyn location, this is it!!!

We had our wedding at Dyker Beach a couple of months ago. They were flexible on food selections and gave us a great deal. Vicky was quick to respond to any questions we had during the planning and worked with us to change the seating arrangement a few days before the wedding when we had two guests cancel at the last minute. Dyker Beach also let us use the grand ballroom even though we had a smaller number of guests than they usually ask for.

On the day of the wedding, ceremony area was set up very nicely. The food during the dinner was great - our guests still tell us how impressed they were with the quantity of food provided and how delicious it was. Vicky and her staff also worked with us to prepare a signature drink during cocktail hour for no additional charge. We asked for a different red wine to be provided during the dinner and it only cost us a little bit more per person - very reasonable pricing. The maitre'd John and the bridal attendant Julie were really helpful on the day of the wedding. Both made sure that everything went smoothly the entire night and were there well past 12:30 am to help us out.

The only suggestion we have is to discuss all of the details with the staff. We were initially told that our cocktail hour would be in the smaller ballroom and were told a few months later that the cocktail hour was in a smaller room (which we had not seen previously). The smaller room was good as well, but it would have been good to know about this room from the beginning. Also, we asked that the decorations at the top of the cake be saved for us. Unfortunately, these decorations were thrown out during the cake cutting. Not a big deal, but again, we recommend discussing these things in detail so that the staff knows your expectations.

Again, we had an amazing wedding and we are very happy with the way our wedding went. The staff at Dyker Beach were very helpful the entire time and we would definitely recommend them to our friends!

The Dyker Beach Golf Course is a beautiful, elegant location for a wedding. We were fortunate enough to have a lovely summer day and our ceremony in the newly landscaped garden in front of the gazebo. Our cocktail hour utilized the open terrace as well as the inside room. Everything was picture perfect. Everyone we worked with, both leading up to and on the day of the wedding, was friendly, professional, efficient and agreeable. We got more than we expected for the price and were thrilled to have so much included in the package - food, beverages, cake, etc. So little to worry about ourselves and everything was great. Our guests enjoyed the food (especially the tartuffo dessert, which unfortunately my husband & I were too busy dancing to eat) and the service.

The experience was great. Some stuff didn't turn out as expected but overall it was a great place to host our wedding. Overall we would recommend this to venue to everyone...not just for weddings!!

Venue: An escape from city surrounding; The grounds are beautiful and Verrazano Bridge as a backdrop is perfect. Although my wedding was in winter it was just as lovely. It is elegant and has a vintage look that my husband and I loved. Bridal suite was elegant, spacious and with a private bathroom. Our wedding was small and intimate and as such our room was the Great Room. Lovely and picture perfect with a fireplace. Our wedding was the only one on that date, which gave us privacy, with no sense of sharing the facility.

Food: It was delicious! Do the food tasting - you will be extremely pleased. The Wedding Cake was simple and delicious.

Facility staff: They were very accommodating and friendly; Issues was dealt expeditiously.

Waitstaff: They seem to be on a real time schedule; guest complained about how fast the food was removed before they could finished their plate; Some guest didn't even get to taste the cake- only because they placed it down and when they returned, it was gone :( Otherwise everyone said they were friendly.

For a small reception that we had, we were pulled here and there and barely ate or drank; Time went quickly! Note to the couple eat, drink …and be married :)

I just had my ceremony and reception at Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. Everything was PERFECT! They were so easy to deal with and were responsive whenever we had questions. All of our guests talked about the food and how beautiful everything was. I couldn't have asked for anything better! If you are looking for 5 star service, this is definitely the place!

On July 19th 2019 Dyker Beach Golf course helped the wedding of my dreams come to life! From the moment I first spoke to Carlo Lenzi on the phone I knew this place was it. The facility is magical and the staff is very professional and understanding. All of our guests felt welcomed and had a great time! If your looking for an upscale affordable venue with an exceptional staff, this place is it!

We just had our wedding last month (April 2018) at Dyker Beach Golf Course, and I HIGHLY recommend it. We did both the ceremony and reception there. The staff at DBGC certainly help to make the planning process a little bit easier. Our contact person/event manager was Lila and she was very good throughout the process. Overall, DBGC really knows how to do weddings right! We had a matre’d on the day of the wedding who helps coordinate everything, including the ceremony, and he works with both the DJ/host and the chef to coordinate how the reception will run as smooth as possible. They also provide a bridal attendant throughout the day who pretty much helps you with anything you might need as the bride. The food was amazing (as all the guests have told me, I didn’t get to eat much unfortunately, but knew it would be great based on our tasting). Be sure to get an appointment for the tasting, well worth it! You may have to reach out to them a couple times to schedule it. Also, one small snag, at first we were told we would be able to take home food from cocktail hour, but then they later told us a few days beforehand that we could not. Other than that, DBGC was wonderful, they even let me come practice a dance I had planned with my Dad on the dance floor quite a few times. On another note, they offer ceremony services both outdoor and indoor, I was really hoping to do it outdoor on the lawn with the gazebo, but with the crazy April weather, we got a really cold/chilly day, so we decided to have the ceremony inside, regardless they still made it special! Big thanks to everyone at Dyker!

Dyker delivered the wedding of our dreams. They are super accommodating and made the wedding planning process much easier. The food was so delicious and my guests all enjoyed their time there.

The venue is beautiful. I had my ceremony outside at the gazebo and reception inside and it was a truly lovely day. The food was amazing and the dessert spread was really delicious. I can't speak highly enough of the maitre d and bridal attendant we had for the day of - without them I may have gone full bridezilla. Truly though they made sure everything went smoothly and the bridal attendant was phenomenal. The prices here were great especially given that it's in Brooklyn and it's a one stop shop, everything we needed came with the venue so I had very little to worry about after we booked.

We were very happy with our golf outing this year. The golf was well organized, food was very good quality and plentiful. The reception room looked beautiful. James and Debbie were a pleasure to work with.

Dyker Beach Golf Course was a great venue for our wedding. The space is so beautiful that all we had to do was show up. Everyone there was very accommodating and professional. Our wedding was perfect!

The food was amazing and the staff was so professional. They were able to give us everything we asked for (extra treats for dessert and cocktail hour!). My only complaints: the gazebo is in a horrible location, so close to the street, making it a noisy spot for a ceremony - with all the cars going by. I suggest the patio for the ceremony instead. They put the string quartet in this little room off the main cocktail hour room, so no one even saw or heard them during cocktail hour and didn't even know they were there! Other than that everything went well and it was a beautiful spot for a local Brooklyn wedding.

I had a very good experience planning my wedding at Dyker Beach. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful and the indoor space is very nice with multiple rooms for different parts of the evening plus a great bridal suite.

We worked primarily with Carlo for our wedding and he was amazing. He was easy to deal with and accommodating when he could. There were one or two instances where there was some confusion or misunderstanding (as there will be when planning for something the size of a wedding), but Carlo always smoothed things over and made sure everything worked out. The venue itself was great and the staff the day-of was terrific, making sure everything was set up correctly and ran on time. We couldn't have asked for a better venue.

We held our wedding at Dyker Beach Golf Course on August 6, 2016. We booked about 15 months in advance, and were in awe of the beautifully manicured course and lawn, outdoor patio and beautiful reception spaces. The décor is classy and elegant and the rooms have large windows with tons of natural light. Vicky, Nick and Sherry did a fantastic job as coordinator, maitre’d, and bridal coordinator, respectively. We felt completely taken care of and the day of our wedding went off without a hitch. It rained and was very humid the day of our wedding so we opted to do the ceremony indoors – which meant they had to turn over the ballroom during cocktail hour back to a reception space. We had 275 guests and they executed everything wonderfully. Everyone raved about the food too, especially cocktail hour.

While we had to stay on top of Dyker throughout the planning process and manage them a bit, they pulled off a great wedding in the end. Overall, we were very happy with our wedding and would recommend Dyker, but just know that you may need to manage them during the planning process.

I was very pleased with my wedding at Dyker Beach Golf Course. My maitre'd John, and bridal attendant Julie were absolutely FABULOUS. They took care of what I wanted/needed without me even asking. My parents told me that both Julie & John took care of them all night as well. Without a doubt they made my experience with Dyker a better one.

I had an outdoor ceremony on a VERY hot summer day, and I was happy that they provided a cold water station for my guests while they sat outside in the sun. The food was delicious, the drinks plentiful, and the timing all perfect.

I would recommend Dyker Beach Golf Course for any event, however I suggest that you be sure to read over your contract & be mindful of small details. A few days before my wedding, I was told that I had to use their up-lighting, as opposed to the up-lighting that I had already paid for through my D.J. In the end, all was resolved, but it was an issue that no bride should be dealing with 3 days before their wedding. Other than that, thumbs up to Dyker.

We were so happy to celebrate our wedding with our friends at Dyker.

The team at Dyker Beach Golf Course were beyond professional. Our guests still talk about the food, the impressive service and overall vibe. We are beyond thrilled that we chose this venue for our wedding reception!

Kristina & Tom

As soon as we saw the space, we knew immediately we wanted it there. The venue has a beautiful brick façade and is situated on a golf course (my husband received a free golf voucher for him and 3 of his friends when we booked!). Although the name states it, Dyker is not on or near a beach but the space is beautiful nonetheless.

Staff: The entire staff who worked the night of our wedding was just absolutely amazing! Our Maitre’d, Banquet Staff, Bridal Attendant, and Waitstaff were just INCREDIBLE!! I can’t emphasize it enough how wonderful they were in giving us the utmost best service. Upon our arrival, we were immediately greeted by Leslie, our bridal attendant, and Chris, a banquet staff member. Both welcomed us with a glass of champagne in hand. Throughout the night both were continuously checking on us to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything else, while Leslie didn’t leave me drink-less for a minute! I wish I could say the same about the event manager who I worked with leading up to the wedding. She was a bit unresponsive and didn't tell me certain details that I needed for the reception. Regardless, the banquet staff on the wedding night was so amazing that they helped make the event go on without a hitch!

Food: The appetizers, food stations, and hors d’ouevres were all very good. We didn’t get to try everything but the lamb chops were to die for. The halibut was a big hit while the filet mignon we were told was a bit too well done. We also had the Maryland Crabcake as a first course, which was delicious. Overall our guests raved about how amazing the food was.

Space: Cocktail hour opens up to an outdoor space that overlooks the golf course and is nicely dressed with upscale patio furniture (not plastic). The main reception room was an addition to the building, which was built in the late 1800’s, but you could never tell. It looks as though it has been part of the building forever and is just stunning. There’s floor-to-ceiling windows and black chandeliers that give the room a classy and elegant look. The area designated for the band/DJ has a beautiful brick backdrop, which looks great during the reception.

Great venue in Brooklyn, I definitely would recommend them!

Dyker Beach was a beautiful venue and although we weren't able to have our ceremony outside due to the weather, the venue did a great job. The food was great and there was plenty of it. I highly recommend the Venetian dessert spread. I wasn't impressed by the fact that I dealt with so many different people during the planning process and therefore the night of the wedding didn't go as smoothly as I had wanted it. They also didn't let us know until 3 weeks before the wedding that there was another wedding taking place in the afternoon. Overall, it was a good experience but more stressful than a bride should have to deal with.

I just had my wedding at Dyker. My ceremony started an hour behind schedule even though everyone was ready. I arrived at Dyker on-time. There was a wedding before mine, which caused the delay. The bridal suite was not ready and we waited a very, very long time for the bridal suite (half an hour). It was still dirty when I got inside. Time is so precious. I felt so bad our guest had to wait so long for no reason. I lost an hour of photos. They took away the microphone and sent the guests away after my ceremony, which was when I wanted to take traditional portraits. Wasted more time trying to gather 300+ people back into the gazebo for photos.

I wish I was informed how many guests didn't show up. I believe I would have been informed if there were extra guests and charged but nobody told me that there were a few no-shows. The main course was not served until 10:00PM. I got a lot of complaints about that.

Aside from the above mentioned issues, the staff was very polite. The cake was delicious. There was a lot of food. THE FOOD IS GOOD. that is so important, especially since it's mass produced. everyone loved the venetian hour.

My wedding was here 2 weeks ago & it was perfect! The food was delicious, the decor looked lovely, & the service was wonderful. My issues with this venue were throughout the planning process. We booked a while ago & the venue now has new management. Our first tasting did not go well because the staff did not follow our requests & did not make us aware of menu changes. It almost was as if they couldn't be bothered with our requests, despite the fact that we were paying a lot of money to hold our event here. However, once we got to work with the sales director Natalie, our planning process greatly improved. She is an absolute gem! She helped ensure all of our needs were met from menu selections, to ceremony and reception decor, and overall inquiries. She even let us work directly with their bakery to order a custom cake. Luckily she wiped away our initial disappointment in venue choice & helped work with us to make sure our day was indeed special for us! Note: double check venue is clear on all special dietary requests (dairy free, allergies) - we had a few family members who were not catered to, despite us pre-alerting Dyker of their needs.

Event Planning: The Dyker Beach Golf venue is a very nice facility for a wedding. The wedding ceremony and reception were held on July 16, 2011 in the lawn and on the patio outdoors, which was wonderful. What a wonderful choice. We had a beautiful day! I wish I could say the same about the event manager who my daughter and I worked with leading up to the wedding. She was a bit unresponsive at times and didn't tell me certain details that I needed for the dinner. I felt that Jeannine over sold the services at the place in order to book my daughter's wedding. We would have ordered covers for the chairs if the new replacement chairs had delivered like she promised us when we visited. Also, she made me believe that all staff was knowledgeable about their role and responsibilities they should perform, which was not the case. My daughter found the Bridal Attendant to be new at her job and lacked the knowledge of her role. My daughter had to ask at times for her to refresh the appetizers in the room and clean up the dishes. Upon our arrival, a banquet staff member did welcome them with a room filled with glasses of champagne.

Jeannine also did not communicate commitments made in the contract and the size of our wedding party (200 guests) to the Maitre'd which caused problems later in the day. They were flexible in working with our florist, who was outstanding, by giving our florist napkins ahead of time for decorating. Our florist made our tables look so elegant. Dyker received compliments for their napkin and floral design on the tables.

Staff: The entire staff who worked the night of our wedding appeared to be novice. The staff who set up a table for the guests to write on stones left the bags and boxes in front of the table for guests to see when they arrived. I had my son remove them. Boxes of my decorated fans that I made for the outdoors ceremony were left out by the gazebo for arriving guests to see. My girlfriend who was seated as a guest texted me to tell me to have them removed.

The lack of communication between what we told Jeannine and what was conveyed to the Maitre'd showed when she decided to only set up chairs for about 170 guest and not my requested 200. Because of this, guests were standing and we had to request additional chairs before the ceremony began. By the way, those chairs did not have a program or a customized gift fan from the Bride and Groom placed on them and the chairs did not match the white lawn chairs that others had!!!! Aaugh!

When the ceremony was about to begin I was informed by my officiant, my Pastor, Bishop Hilliard, Jr., that the bridal runner was down and guest had walked on it. This was the final straw! I stopped the wedding and insisted that a clean, untouched runner be laid down for the bride to walk on for her processional in. Our Maitre’d explained to me that there would a delay and to tell me that others did it this way. What? This is not bridal ceremony etiquette! Needless to say, the wedding processional was delayed until the runner was taken up, all guests were seated, and the bridal party except for the flower girl and my husband and daughter, the Bride, walked in.

Afterwards, the Maitre'd, Banquet Staff, and Waiter staff was very attentive! I can’t emphasize it enough how wonderful they were in giving us the utmost best service. Throughout the night both were continuously checking on my husband and I to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything else. Regardless, the banquet staff on the wedding night was so amazing that they helped make the event go on afterwards without a hitch!

Food: The appetizers, food stations, and hors d’ouevres were all very good. We didn’t get to try everything but the beef tips on toast were to die for. The filet mignon for dinner was very well done to each guest’s wish. The best of the dinner was the salad with Champagne Vinaigrette dressing. We also had the Maryland Crab cake as a first course, which was delicious. All our guests raved about how amazing the food was.

Space: Cocktail hour reception was held on the patio, which was fabulous! It overlooks the golf course and is nicely furnished with upscale patio furniture and umbrellas. There was also a main indoor reception area with comfortable chairs and sofas for those guests who were elderly or could not take the sun.

The main dining reception room was an addition to the building, which was built in the late 1800’s, which is what my daughter loved about the facility. It looks as though it has been part of the building forever and was just stunning. There are floor-to-ceiling windows and black chandeliers gave the room a classy and elegant look. The area designated for the band or DJ has a beautiful brick backdrop, which looks great during the reception.

Great location venue in Brooklyn, food is delicious, but the wedding planner and facilities staff are not quite ready for prime time when accommodating large wedding receptions. I would not recommend them!

I had a cultural bridal party there this past weekend for around 280 guests.

To be honest, doing a party at a corporate owned venue is hard and basically pointless. They are not flexible and won't budge without approval from 2394823 different people.

The venue is definitely beautiful and I truly love the area, the vicinity, the bridal suite, the hall, chairs everything....... now the downside.

The biggest disappointment was the portion of food - THERE WEREN'Y ANY. The fruits were so beat up into tiny little pieces that I was embarrassed. The little shrimp that went in passing and on the tables were the size of my thumb.... for $88 a head from 12pm - 5pm was pretty high for a tiny amount of food that probably cost them 3,000.

Oh and one waiter per table - YOU WISH.

The hall is set up pretty nicely - the dance floor is a nice rectangle and the tables are well placed that those sitting can see everything.

I was hoping that Brooklyn would finally have another wonderful venue and unfortunately, I was completely unhappy with this place. If you know anything about food, it is terrible. Not tasty, not worth the money. The services wasn't any better. We had to wait so long for a glass of water and the tables were not cleaned off in a timely manner. The only good thing about this place is the location.
