13 Incredible Bridal Shower Venues on Long Island to Suit Every Style & Budget
While New York City is home to dozens of exceptional bridal shower venues, you shouldn't sleep on Long Island. An easy train or car ride from The Big Apple, Long Island boasts beautiful beaches, charming towns and ample shopping and dining options that rival what you'd find in Manhattan. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that there are some seriously beautiful bridal shower venues on Long Island that suit every style and budget. A handful of our top picks along this 118-mile-long stretch offer idyllic waterfront locales and views for coastal-chic soirees, while others have a trendy, cosmopolitan-like feel—the same ambiance you'd find in the big city.
While many of the best bridal shower venues on Long Island are open year-round, a small few are only open seasonally, especially in summer hotspots like the Hamptons. Also, most options offer indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from, which comes in especially handy in the event of cold, inclement weather, which is all too common in the colder months. In the summer months, however, many will opt to hold their bridal shower outside; that said, it's not a bad idea to consider a venue with indoor and outdoor event spaces. And, while we've rounded up our top picks below, you can also use The Knot Vendor Marketplace to search for even more venue inspiration based on budget and location.
