The Celebration Your Guests Will Remember

You’re not just booking a party venue. You’re securing a waterfront experience that your guests will talk about for months afterward.

Picture your ceremony overlooking the Long Island Sound, with nothing but water stretching to the horizon. Your cocktail hour flows seamlessly into an elegant ballroom reception, where 18-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows keep those stunning views front and center.

The difference is in the details you won’t have to worry about. Our dedicated event coordinators handle everything from vendor coordination to day-of logistics, so you can actually enjoy your celebration instead of managing it.

Award-Winning Venue, One Event Focus

We’ve been creating unforgettable waterfront celebrations on Long Island’s Gold Coast for years. We’ve earned The Knot’s “Best of Weddings” and WeddingWire’s “Couples’ Choice Award” from 2016 to 2023 because we do one thing exceptionally well: focus entirely on your event.

When you choose our Bayville location, just minutes from Elwood, you’re getting a venue that hosts only one celebration at a time. That means our entire team, from event coordinators to culinary staff, is dedicated solely to making your party flawless.

Long Island couples know that waterfront venues book quickly, especially those offering true privacy and panoramic water views. Our location on the Long Island Sound provides that rare combination of accessibility and exclusivity that makes your celebration feel both intimate and grand.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Your party venue package includes access to both our outdoor waterfront ceremony space and elegant indoor ballroom accommodating up to 250 guests. The ballroom features 18-foot ceilings, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, and those signature floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing Long Island Sound views.

Our culinary team crafts menus using the finest ingredients, with options ranging from cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres to multi-course plated dinners. We handle dietary restrictions without compromise, ensuring every guest enjoys exceptional food tailored to their needs.

For Elwood area couples, our Bayville location offers the perfect balance of waterfront elegance and convenient access. You’re close enough for easy planning meetings and guest travel, yet far enough from the hustle to feel like you’ve escaped to your own private waterfront retreat. Long Island’s Gold Coast setting provides that coveted combination of natural beauty and sophisticated amenities that makes celebrations truly memorable.

We recommend booking 12-18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates from May through October. Long Island’s waterfront venues with our level of exclusivity fill up quickly because couples want that guarantee of privacy and personalized attention. Since we host only one event at a time, our calendar has limited availability compared to venues running multiple celebrations simultaneously. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with your preferred date and season. Popular dates like summer Saturdays often book 18+ months ahead, while Friday and Sunday celebrations typically offer more availability with the same exceptional service and stunning waterfront views.
The biggest difference is our one-event-at-a-time policy. When you book Soundview, you’re not sharing our attention, staff, or facilities with another celebration happening down the hall. Our entire team focuses solely on your event from setup through cleanup. Your guests won’t encounter another wedding party in the parking lot, restrooms, or cocktail areas. It’s your venue for the day, period. Plus, our location on the Long Island Sound provides unobstructed water views from both ceremony and reception spaces. Many venues claim “waterfront” but offer limited water visibility or compete with other events for the best photo spots.
Absolutely. Our ballroom comfortably accommodates anywhere from 50 to 250 guests, and our outdoor ceremony space scales beautifully for intimate gatherings or larger celebrations. For smaller parties, we create cozy seating arrangements that make the space feel perfectly sized rather than empty. Larger celebrations benefit from our full capacity with room for dancing, mingling, and those panoramic Long Island Sound views everyone wants to experience. Our event coordinators work with you to configure both ceremony and reception spaces based on your guest count and celebration style, ensuring the venue feels perfectly tailored to your party size.
Our transparent pricing includes venue access for both ceremony and reception, tables, chairs, linens, and basic lighting. You’ll also get dedicated event coordination, setup and breakdown services, and access to our preferred vendor network. Unlike many Long Island venues, we don’t charge hidden administration fees or service charges beyond standard sales tax. What we quote is what you pay, making it easier to budget accurately for your celebration. Menu pricing varies based on your selections, but includes professional service staff, bar service options, and our culinary team’s expertise in accommodating dietary restrictions and special requests.
We provide full catering services with our experienced culinary team, but we’re flexible about working with outside vendors for other services like photography, flowers, and entertainment. Our event coordinators can connect you with our network of trusted Long Island professionals, or we’ll work seamlessly with vendors you’ve already chosen. We want your celebration to reflect your vision, not our restrictions. For specialty items like custom cakes, unique floral arrangements, or specific entertainment, we coordinate timing and logistics so everything integrates smoothly with our service schedule.
Our indoor ballroom serves as an elegant backup ceremony space with the same stunning Long Island Sound views through floor-to-ceiling windows. We can quickly reconfigure the space for both ceremony and reception if weather requires moving indoors. We monitor weather forecasts closely and discuss backup plans during your planning process, so you know exactly what to expect. Many couples actually prefer our indoor ceremony option for its dramatic lighting and unobstructed water views. The decision typically gets made the morning of your celebration, giving us maximum flexibility while ensuring your guests stay comfortable. Either way, you’ll have those signature waterfront views that make Soundview special.
