Waterfront Wedding Venues Lake Grove

What Complete Privacy Actually Looks Like

You get the entire venue. No other weddings happening down the hall. No competing music or overlapping cocktail hours.

Your guests walk into floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Long Island Sound, knowing this moment belongs entirely to you. The waterfront ceremony site is yours alone. The ballroom reception space is yours alone. The attention from our coordination team is yours alone.

This is what happens when you choose a venue that limits itself to one celebration at a time. Your wedding day becomes exactly what you envisioned—without compromise, without sharing, without settling.

Everything You Need Under One Roof

Your package includes full catering with our award-winning cuisine, complete bar service, event planning and coordination, and all setup and cleanup. We provide tables, chairs, linens, and basic lighting. Our waterfront ceremony site comes with your reception booking.

Lake Grove couples appreciate that we handle vendor coordination, timeline management, and day-of logistics. You’re not juggling multiple contracts or wondering if your caterer will coordinate with your DJ. Everything runs through our experienced team.

The venue accommodates up to 150 guests for reception dining, with additional space for cocktail hours and dancing. Our kitchen prepares everything on-site, ensuring your meal arrives hot and perfectly timed to your celebration schedule.

Waterfront venues offer natural beauty that indoor spaces simply cannot match. Your ceremony photos capture the Long Island Sound as your backdrop instead of generic hotel ballroom walls. Your guests experience fresh air and water views during cocktail hour rather than windowless reception halls. The lighting is naturally better throughout the day. Golden hour photos happen right outside your reception space. Your ceremony feels more intimate and meaningful when surrounded by natural beauty rather than artificial decorations. At Soundview Caterers, our floor-to-ceiling windows bring the waterfront views into your reception space, so even during dinner and dancing, you and your guests stay connected to the stunning scenery that drew you to a waterfront venue in the first place.
Most couples book 12-18 months ahead for peak wedding season (May through October). Popular Saturday dates fill up fastest, especially during summer months when waterfront venues are in highest demand. If you’re flexible with your date, you might find availability 6-9 months out, particularly for Friday or Sunday celebrations. Winter and early spring dates often have more availability with shorter booking windows. Since we only host one event per day, our calendar fills differently than venues that pack multiple weddings into weekends. Once your date is booked, it’s exclusively yours—no double-booking, no scheduling conflicts, no competing celebrations.
Your package includes venue rental for ceremony and reception, full catering service, complete bar package, event coordination, and all basic setup and cleanup. We provide tables, chairs, linens, basic lighting, and sound system for ceremonies. Our catering covers appetizers, full dinner service, wedding cake cutting, and coffee service. Bar packages include premium liquors, wines, and beer with professional bartending staff. Event coordination means timeline management, vendor communication, and day-of logistics handling. What you’ll need to arrange separately: photography, music/DJ, flowers, and any specialty lighting or decorative upgrades. We’re happy to recommend trusted vendors who know our venue well and work seamlessly with our coordination team.
Yes, our waterfront ceremony site overlooks the Long Island Sound and accommodates up to 150 guests. The ceremony space is separate from the reception ballroom, allowing for seamless transitions without your guests needing to leave the property. After your ceremony, guests move to our cocktail area while we flip the ceremony space or set up the reception ballroom for dinner and dancing. This transition happens smoothly because our staff knows the timing and logistics of handling both ceremony and reception. Having both ceremony and reception at one venue simplifies your planning significantly. One contract, one coordination team, one location for your vendors to learn. Your wedding day flows more smoothly when everything happens under one roof with one experienced team managing all the details.
Our kitchen team handles vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and most dietary restrictions with advance notice. We work directly with you during menu planning to ensure every guest has delicious options that meet their needs. For cultural or religious dietary requirements, we customize menus accordingly. Our chefs have experience with kosher-style preparation, halal considerations, and ethnic cuisine requests. We want every guest to enjoy their meal, not just tolerate it. During your menu tasting, we’ll prepare samples of any special dietary accommodations so you can ensure the quality meets your standards. Our goal is making sure dietary restrictions don’t limit anyone’s enjoyment of your celebration.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and discuss backup plans during your planning process. Our indoor reception space can accommodate ceremony seating if needed, maintaining your waterfront views through our floor-to-ceiling windows. We make weather decisions by mid-morning on your wedding day, giving you time to notify key family members and vendors. Our coordination team handles all setup changes, so you don’t stress about logistics on your wedding morning. Many couples find that our indoor ceremony backup actually creates a more intimate atmosphere while still showcasing the Long Island Sound views that drew them to our venue. The important elements—your vows, your guests, your celebration—remain exactly as planned.
