Wedding Venue Planning Process

No surprises, no hidden fees—just transparent pricing and clear expectations.

Once you book, your dedicated event coordinator takes over. They’ll work with you on menu selection, timeline planning, and vendor coordination. Since we offer full catering, bar services, and event planning in-house, you’ll have fewer moving parts to manage and one point of contact for most decisions.

On your event day, our professional staff handles setup, service, and coordination while you focus on celebrating.

Catering Halls North Bay Shore

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Your package includes comprehensive catering with menus designed around fresh, high-quality ingredients. Our bar service features premium selections, and our event planning covers timeline coordination, vendor management, and day-of execution. You’ll also have access to bridal suites, professional staff, and our venue’s full amenities.

North Bay Shore couples appreciate venues that understand Long Island’s unique wedding culture. The robust cocktail hours, open bars, and guest list sizes that define celebrations here require experienced planning and execution. Our team has managed hundreds of events in this market and knows how to deliver the level of service Long Island guests expect.

Our waterfront location provides natural beauty that reduces decoration costs while creating stunning photo opportunities. The floor-to-ceiling windows ensure your indoor reception feels connected to the scenic surroundings, giving you the best of both worlds regardless of weather conditions.

The key difference is our one-event-at-a-time policy. When you book Soundview Caterers, you get exclusive use of the entire venue and grounds for your celebration. There’s no sharing spaces with another party, no rushed setup or breakdown, and no competing noise or activities. You’ll also have dedicated staff focused solely on your event. Many venues rotate staff between multiple events happening simultaneously, but our team’s complete attention is on making your celebration perfect. Combined with our waterfront location and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Long Island Sound, you get privacy, personalized service, and stunning natural beauty all in one package. Our comprehensive service model means less coordination stress for you. Instead of managing separate contracts with caterers, bar services, and planners, you have one point of contact handling most aspects of your celebration.
For Saturday evening events during peak wedding season (May through October), booking 12-18 months in advance is recommended. Popular dates like summer Saturdays and holiday weekends fill up quickly throughout Long Island, and our one-event-at-a-time policy means there are fewer available dates than venues that host multiple events per day. Friday and Sunday events typically have more availability and often come with preferred pricing. If you’re flexible with your date, you might find excellent options with shorter lead times, especially during off-peak months. Our booking process starts with a venue tour and consultation. Once you decide to move forward, a contract and deposit secure your date. Your event coordinator will then work with you on planning details, which can happen over several months leading up to your celebration.
Our comprehensive packages include venue rental, catering services, bar service, event coordination, and staff. You’ll have access to both our waterfront ceremony site and the ballroom reception space, along with bridal suites and guest amenities. Catering covers cocktail hour, dinner service, and wedding cake, with menu options ranging from elegant plated dinners to elaborate buffet selections. Bar service includes premium liquors, wines, and beer, with professional bartenders managing service throughout your event. Our event coordination covers timeline planning, vendor coordination, and day-of management. Setup and breakdown are handled by our venue staff, and you’ll have dedicated coordinators ensuring smooth transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our floor-to-ceiling windows and waterfront location provide natural ambiance, reducing the need for extensive decorations while creating stunning photo opportunities.
Our pricing is based on guest count, menu selection, bar package, and day of the week. Saturday evening events during peak season are priced at premium rates, while Friday and Sunday celebrations often offer significant savings. Off-season dates (November through April) typically provide the best value. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Your quote includes all specified services, taxes, and gratuities, so you know exactly what your investment covers. Payment is typically structured with a deposit to secure your date, followed by scheduled payments leading up to your event. Long Island wedding venues generally range from $100-$200 per person for full-service packages. The comprehensive nature of our offerings—including venue, catering, bar, and coordination—often provides better value than booking these services separately, especially when you factor in the exclusive use and waterfront location.
Yes, our culinary team works with couples to accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests. Whether you need vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or kosher options, we can modify menus to ensure all your guests are well cared for. Menu planning sessions allow you to taste options and discuss customizations. Our chefs use fresh, high-quality ingredients and can often incorporate family recipes or cultural dishes that reflect your background and preferences. This personalization extends to cocktail selections as well, where signature drinks can be created for your celebration. The key is communicating these needs during the planning process. Your event coordinator will work with our kitchen staff to ensure dietary restrictions are properly noted and accommodated. Final guest counts and dietary needs are typically confirmed a week before your event, allowing our team to prepare accordingly.
We offer both outdoor waterfront ceremony space and elegant indoor options with the same stunning Long Island Sound views. If weather becomes a concern, ceremonies can be moved indoors to our ballroom, which features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water. Weather decisions are typically made 24-48 hours before your event, allowing time for guest notification and any necessary adjustments. Our indoor space maintains the waterfront ambiance while providing climate control and protection from the elements. Many couples actually prefer the indoor option because it offers better acoustics for vows and speeches, comfortable seating for all guests, and eliminates concerns about wind, temperature, or unexpected weather changes. Our floor-to-ceiling windows ensure you still get those beautiful water views and natural light that make waterfront venues so appealing.
