\\This is the easiest review to write. I am so happy to be on the other side of the wedding planning and report back that this venue completely exceeded our expectations. Barry and Amy are an unbelievable team. From the start of the wedding planning all we heard was ok we can make that happen. There is never anything completely shut down that you want done. Barry and Amy take your requests or wishes give their best advice and then work with you to make it happen. There was a lot of things that became issues or stressors before the wedding and the venue was not one of them.

Getting to the venue the day of the wedding was so exciting. Barry and Amy not only are setting up for the wedding day but they are working with the entire bridal party/ bride/groom/families and their staff throughout the entire day. It truly seems like there is more than just the 2 of them for how over the top their service is and how they pay attention to every detail. They make you feel so important throughout the planning and the day of the wedding. For example: They truly make the entire wedding day about the bride and groom. I as the bride was starting to lose steam and Barry went out of his way to get me a refreshment while Amy was standing with me. They make sure each step of the wedding day goes even better than you imagined it. Amy also is with the bride the entire day and you do not need a day of coordinator because she is truly the best person to have with you the whole time. She is 5 steps ahead of you the entire day. While she is the best support and cheerleader for you she is also taking photos that she sends back to you the next day so you have some of your own. She keeps everyone on schedule and takes any issues away from. you so you can focus on yourself.

The food was OVER THE TOP. So many people complimented the food. They have so many options that are new/ different and creative. Their menu is very long and truly caters to everyone. Cocktail hour there was so much food and the service was incredible. The staff was nice, professional and extremely thorough.

The night was so perfect that no one wanted it to end. We are so so thankful that we were able to have our wedding at the Village Club. The whole venue has been updated and continues to be adding new refreshing features every time we go. They work hard and care so much about all their clients.

Barry and Amy are not only unbelievable at throwing a party but they truly love and care for all their clients. They bring you in to throw your party and you leave being apart of their family. I would redo this night 1000 times if I could. I am so thankful that we were able to finally do this day after a lot of hiccups and couldn't be more thankful that they were the ones running the show.

Is there a way that I can give more stars to a review?

I had the most wonderful experience celebrating my daughter’s wedding at The Village Club at Lake Success on 8/17/24. Barry Rosenthal is an exceptional director with his attention to detail from start to finish. He and his amazing staff executed things seamlessly, even when faced with last minute weather challenges, and two very emotional families. Rain clouds blew in just moments before we were getting ready to let our guests into the beautifully decorated outdoor terrace. Barry brilliantly made some 11th hour adjustments and our guests ended up enjoying the fantastic cocktail hour first while he organized his team to move the flowers, chairs and all the décor inside. Our guests were well fed and happy as they enjoyed our gorgeous indoor ceremony afterwards. It was so exciting to look behind the curtain and see how the magic happens.

Amy, their bridal attendant provided all the TLC that our large bridal party needed during the day and well into the evening. She was so lovely, warm and efficient, directing everyone well into the late night, even helping to patch up my daughter’s dress when the bustle broke. There is no need to hire an outside party planner or “day of” specialist, when you have such an amazing team like Barry and Amy running things here.

And then there was the FOOD! Everyone was raving over the beautiful and delicious choices that we served at the cocktail hour, reception and “after party”. Chefs Dan and Rich prepared the most outstanding food that we can remember ever having at a wedding. They were able to successfully cater to several of our guest’s specific dietary needs, while they were delighting all of our party guests.

Thank you to everyone at The Village Club at Lake Success for making our daughter’s dream come true.

My husband and I got married at VCLS in June of 2024, and Barry and Amy went above and beyond to make our day as special and seamless as possible. I can't imagine that there are many other venues that provide the level of support and attention to detail as Barry and Amy provided us with. They anticipated every need we had - we would often think of something we wanted or needed, and it turned out that they had already taken care of it (if they hadn't already, they immediately did so). They coordinated with our vendors, kept track of the many items we brought to the venue for the ceremony and reception, helped us get photos in the best locations, surprised us with an extra pass around during cocktail hour, and so much more. No detail was missed, and they made sure that we (and our families) could enjoy our day without having to deal with many logistics. The weather on our wedding day was hot and humid and had a chance of rain, but Barry and Amy supported our dream to have our ceremony outdoors - they tracked the weather all day, and provided us with the flexibility to decide about the ceremony location much later than we would have expected. We ended up being able to have our ceremony outdoors, and it was absolutely beautiful! Barry and Amy were very supportive during the planning process in addition to the day of the wedding. The food was amazing and Barry and Amy again went above and beyond in allowing us to make minor changes to the menu offerings. We truly cannot say enough good things about the venue - it's beautiful and Barry and Amy are unmatched in the level of service they provide. Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of. We will be recommending the venue to everyone we know!
