360 East at Montauk Downs

the end of the reception, the staff made sure that we, along with our guests, were well taken care of. Any request was promptly addressed and any issue was quickly remedied. We only looked at 360 East when planning our wedding and we are delighted we chose this venue! One thing for sure is that Doug is ALWAYS available. He is a busy man, but always found the time to answer our questions and made every wish possible. The food at 360 East was amazing! Our guests could not stop talking about it. We recommend the filet mignon and the shrimp with lobster risotto. Even the vegetarian selection was a hit! We are so happy with how our wedding turned out and it is all due to Doug, Jhonatan, the bridal attendant Katherine (who is a master at bustling dresses and super sweet) and the whole 360 East staff!

not have been more attentive!! He was consistently reaching out to me, providing me wit guidance throughout the planning process with his expertise, and when we had issues with other vendors (not his recommended), Douglas reached out to them on our behalf and straightened it all out for us. Even during his busy wedding, Douglas was reaching out to us on a weekly basis to confirm counts, menus, etc, and during the week of, he gave us his undivided attention. The food was outrageous; guests are still talking about it and everyone had a great time. The atmosphere at 360 East is just unreal! Great view, great vibe, and overall amazing place to enjoy the rest of the bight as a married couple. Everything went off without a hitch (at least to my knowledge) and if something did come up, my husband and I never knew! John, our Maitre D, and Katherine, our bridal attendant were fabulous; we never were without a drink, or food (even though we didn’t eat much) and were with us throughout the entire night. At the end of the night, they packed everything up for us and loaded it into my parents’ car so that we didn’t have anything to worry about. Highly recommend this venue and Douglas and his team. a truly once in a lifetime experience to get married at Camp Hero and then be treated like royalty the rest of the night. We are still thinking about our special day and will be for years to come, and have Douglas and his team to thank in helping us have such a great wedding!

no other location we could imagine having our wedding. 360 East, led by the ever so thorough Doug Sheehan, was exceptional from start to finish. Starting with our initial meeting, Doug was detail-oriented, eager to please, and extremely organized. Mike and I realized that no other venue would offer such attention to detail and genuine care. As a busy school teacher and bride, I truly left the majority of the details to Doug and his team at 360 East, as I knew that they would not disappoint. If you are a bride-to-be, you most likely know that having confidence in your venue is of upmost importance. We had our ceremony at Camp Hero, which was executed flawlessly and took our guests breath away. In my opinion, there is truly no ceremony location on Long Island that can rival the splendor and significance of the Montauk Lighthouse. Following the ceremony, we arrived at our reception greeted with cocktail hour treats and drinks in our bridal suite. No detail was left untouched. Doug and his team were ever present throughout the reception and constantly catered to our needs. Our Maitre D' was so unbelievably attentive that I never even had the chance to finish a drink before a fresh, cold glass of champagne was at my fingertips! We decided to have a variety of food stations, which our guests RAVED about! We also went with Scratch Weddings as our DJ entertainment, along with the most amazing percussionist! The live music was a notable enhancement and our guests enjoyed a wonderful evening on the dance floor. I recommend the ever-so-fabulous Mary Persan (local Montauk flower guru) at Strawberry Fields for breathtaking floral arrangements. If you are considering having your wedding in Montauk, please take it from two Montauk residents who know the area so well, and chose 360 East at Montauk Downs!!! Doug will make your wedding everything that you always imagined, and more. Let "the end" be your "beginning." Tell him that Brittany and Mike sent you! As Doug says, "Cheers!" :)

value for what you get. One of my main draws for the venue was the stunning ceremony site. Unfortunately we had to go inside on the day of but we already had the site permit and were able to do our photos out there. The venue prides themselves on their food and i've heard nothing but great feedback from my guests. This venue does actually cook to order for your wedding. I didn't believe it until I saw it. The Venue Maitre D Jhon runs a very tight ship. One of my concerns was staying punctual since I wanted as much dancing on the back end as possible. He understood this and made sure the night proceeded on schedule. Finally the venue manager Doug. He has a unique ability to make his couples feel like they are the only ones in his world even though you know he has dozens of clients to worry about. He is very responsive and has heaps of experience out there. If he says it won't work it is because it doesn't. We wouldn't change anything about our decision to have our wedding at 360.

on out anything and truly seems to pride himself on taking the best care of his brides that he possibly can. Guests will be talking about the food and views for years to come!

nd easy process with Doug's help. The food was amazing, couldn't have asked for anything more! We got married at Camp Hero on the bluff overlooking the ocean, which was so special and magical. I would highly suggest having a wedding at 360 East, everything was perfect! We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding food, and wedding in general!

ve been to over 100 weddings (literally) in the past 3 years and although all were individually beautiful in their own way- they helped us realize what we did NOT want. This is not your typical ballroom with crystal chandeliers, marble staircases, drapes over the windows and bling. Instead, 360 East is more of a raw space with halo chandeliers hanging above and all wood paneling walls. Not to mention floor to ceiling windows. It is on the smaller side, which to us gave us more of an intimate setting as oppose to a gala vibe. We were able to sit at our sweetheart table and look around the room and actually see all of our guests around us. There is no fancy cocktail hour room, but instead a wrap around balcony overlooking the golf course (with deer!). We did our ceremony on the bluffs at Camp Hero overlooking the light house- breath taking. Our cocktail hour food (especially the lamb chops and lobster raw bar) was great, as well as our dinner (filet mignon was really awesome and not just for wedding food). Doug had met with us several times through out the 10 months, as well as numerous calls and emails. He was honest in what works well and what doesn't - and although I thought he would be wrong at times, he was right. He ensured things would be done the way I requested and they were. I was a little uneasy being that I did not speak to nor did I meet with the actual bridal attendant at 360 East until minutes before I walked down the aisle-BUT everything was properly displayed and executed perfectly. John, our maitre d was also spectacular and with my husband and I until the last drink at the end of our after party! (our after party was down stairs in the '19th hole' bar and also a great space).. I feel like 360 East is a little hidden gem of MTK that Lessings and the whole team truly do a wonderful job keeping the vibe rustic and maintaining the charm of Montauk, but delivering excellent service with an elegant flare. It was truly a dream wedding that we will never stop talking about (as well as our guests)! Thank you Doug and all of the team at 360 East! We hope to come back one day as guests of a wedding next time!!

enue and Camp Hero for the first time and were blown away. Throughout the process Doug was so helpful, giving me recommendations and multiple options for add-ons. He provided a list of vendors so I knew who to contact for flowers, hotel and transportation. The list also included photographers, DJs, bands, and anything you could imagine wanting at your wedding. Fast Forward to a few days before the wedding, and we met to review the final schedule of events for the evening including any logistical questions I had. I was nervous at first because I didn’t have a wedding planner or day of person, but Doug and his team perfectly filled that void. The wedding went off without a hitch. The ceremony was overlooking the Montauk lighthouse, which was actually not visible due to beautiful majestic fog so it seemed like we were getting married on the edge of the world. Then the cocktail hour on the wrap around terrace was filled with drinks, passed appetizers, a Raw Bar with fresh shuckers (a crowd favorite) and an antipasto station. I changed my mind last minute and wanted to stay in the bridal suite instead of attending cocktail hour, so the bridal attendant immediately brought down a selection of all the passed appetizers as well as all the other treats the guests were enjoying. The guests then came into the reception room and my bridal party and my husband and I were introduced and had our first dance. The dinner was 4 courses (YES FOUR! A Caesar Salad, Tuna Appetizer, choice of 3 entree’s and wedding cake/ Italian and French pastries) . The servers took people’s orders when they sat down, so no need order ahead of time! The service was impeccable, and did not interrupt any of the dancing or events. Anytime I needed anything I asked John and he handled it! Whether it was getting my Dad some iced tea or asking the band to lower one of the speakers for my grandma with a hearing aid, he always was willing to help with a big smile on his face. I am so happy I didn’t waste the money on a day of person, because with the staff at 360 East you do not need it. The bar was open throughout the event and did not close for 1 minute! This was AMAZING because I have been to weddings before where the bar shuts down during dinner or during certain times. We danced the night away and had the time of our lives. Once 11pm came around and our band played their final song, we moved the party downstairs to another bar they had onsite. Here the party continued for another 2+ hours. Overall, my wedding was a DREAM and I thank 360 East for making that dream a reality.

er needed anything. He was always available and if he did not answer the exact phone call, we got one back in no time. He gave us his honest opinion and guidance which helped tremendously. He fulfilled all of our crazy requests. We relied on his expertise for a number of different aspects and could not be happier. He is truly an amazing wedding planning and runs a great venue. Jolene was everything that we could ask for. She never left our side from the second we stepped onto the grounds on our big day. She is truly a caring person and wants to make the day as perfect as can be. Jolene helped us in every aspect of our day and kept everything running very smoothly. John, the maître d was also perfect. He kept all of the events running on schedule and always did it with a smile. He was very attentive and went above and beyond to make both the bride and groom happy. All staff did an absolutely wonderful job and we could not have asked for a better wedding.

ith us throughout the process. People always ask why I wasn't stressed or overwhelmed planning my wedding and I always tell them it was because I had someone who made it so easy for me - Doug. All the advice he gave, I took and I'm so happy we did. On our wedding day I didn't have to worry about a thing thanks to Doug, John (our maitre d') and Danielle (my bridal attendant) - these three made it all come together and we are so grateful. All of my guests had such an amazing time - I truly cannot thank these guys enough.

ng and wooden pillars - it's stunning. Beyond that, we would be able to have our ceremony on the cliffs of Camp Hero. The whole team at 360 is professional, friendly, attentive and committed to making your experience and your guests seamless and positive. Danielle, John and Doug couldn't have been more helpful from the start of the process through the last minutes of the night - and into the next day when we picked up our and leftovers! To that point, the food at our Grand Reception was phenomenal - our guests loved the range of options and have not stopped commenting on how incredible the whole day was. I also really appreciated Doug's thoughtfulness in walking us through the options and timeline - he was supportive while providing honest feedback. This was invaluable because while we had some sense of what we wanted, his experience and sage advice helped us prioritize and make decisions. He was organized and on top of all the details so he kept us in the loop but also worked his magic behind the scenes with his team so we didn't worry about a thing on the wedding day. We haven't stopped smiling since our wedding two weeks ago and I can't say enough about 360 East!

de everything so easy. I often felt like I had random or silly questions throughout the planning process and he was so easy to reach and answered every single question I had. Doug deals with his clients according to their wishes and is certainly a 'make it happen' kind of guy. If there was something that just could not be done, Doug guided us with his professional opinion and makes everything work. Doug also assured that his staff were professional and accommodating and they really were. The moment we walked into the venue on the day of the wedding, John and Danielle greeted us at the door, introduced themselves and were there for every step of the night. They were essentially our 'day-of' planners. Both of them made my husband and I feel like a king and queen the entire night. It meant so much to us that they were so helpful that night and were also one step ahead of us. We had a very large wedding and Doug was also very accommodating of the size of our party. The room did not feel packed, it was actually perfect. From the moment we booked the venue to the day of the wedding, Doug was so helpful I really can't thank him (and his staff) enough. I know all of our guests had an amazing night of food, cocktails and dancing. It was truly perfect and my husband and I will never forget it!

have the opposite feel of a traditional catering hall (which is what we did not want). The venue is really breath taking when you go upstairs and see the high wood ceilings, wood floor, and big lamps. You can tell that Doug's experience is not just limited to weddings, he has a strong background in restaurant and hospitality management which shows as he absolutely knows how to make an event flow and hire the correct team to make it happen. The thought and effort he puts into each wedding is unreal, He offered many suggestions based on his experience however would do ANYTHING you want as he believes it truly is your ONE special day and he will do anything to go the extra mile. I did not have a wedding planner and although i was planning from afar I never felt over whelmed or concerned with any of the planning at the venue as Doug was always accessible by email/phone, typically answering within minutes! He also contacted all my vendors and arranged all the arrival times and set up times with them day of. The venue, staff, food, drinks, everything was amazing, beyond traditional wedding quality. Guests felt like they were dining in a restaurant and raved of the food. They also offer lots of extras, we did a pretzel cart on the exit which was everyones favorite! I did not utilize the ceremony site, but we took photos at camp hero and it is a great spot that they have access to, overlooking the ocean and the lighthouse. My husband and I both have high standards for events and we were honestly blown away. The day went off without any issues (or if there were issues they were immediately taken care of without us even being involved). Our maître'd was UNBELIEVEABLE and was always there checking on us and making sure we had anything we needed, along with our immediate families. As a bonus the DJs were confused when we had to remove someone from introductions as they were with their sleeping child and John our maitre'd completely took over, and solved the issue without us even being bothered! The bridal attending was fantastic as well and was the only one who could figure out the bustle to my dress! Needless to say, these are great people who truly know what they are doing, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. If you are looking to have a Montauk wedding, this is the place to go!

planning. He directed us in the right direction for all of our concerns. He is so professional and truly gets the job done! We had our ceremony at Camp Hero, which speaks for itself with its breathtaking views. I did not have a worry in the world from start to finish. Doug and his staff, especially John the maître d’ and Danielle my bridal attendant, were so organized, we did not have to think about anything. If anything was going wrong during the day, we had no idea and it was fixed immediately. The venue was set up exactly how we wanted, and the night went exactly according to planned. Every one of our guests were raving, from the locations, to the atmosphere, the food and the overall fun! We could not have imagined a more perfect day and it was only made possible by Doug and his staff. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

and Danielle) also always made sure we were happy and that everything ran smoothly. An unforgettable day made possible by the awesome staff of 360 East! Thank you!!!

g sight to exchange our vows. The food at cocktail hour and reception was absolutely amazing. Doug the general manager was great to deal with throughout the planning process. He was easy to reach and always had answers for all our questions. John our maître 'd was awesome and made everything flow nice and easy. They always made sure we are taking care of. Made us plates of food, made sure we always had a drink in our hand etc. We had an unforgettable day and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for the greatest memories 360 east.

ank to Doug and his wonderful team for what was truly the most incredible wedding reception. First, the food at 360 is excellent and superior to the quality at other Lessing's properties (which are pretty good, we have been to many) and is some of the best we ever had at a wedding. Doug talks about his fine dining background at the initial meeting, but honestly undersells how delicious the food is. We both come from large Italian families who are very picky about where they eat, and we continue to get positive comments on the quality of the food months after our wedding. All of the passed appetizers and stations, especially the raw bar, were delicious, elegantly presented, and incredibly bountiful. The entrees are perfectly cooked. The cake, which is provided by Rolling Pin Bakery, is beautiful and the best we've had - the groom ate two pieces. We can't say enough about the quality of the food at 360. In terms of atmosphere, the space is beautiful, and speaks for itself, although it is wonderful while the sun sets during cocktail hour. It has a perfect Montauk feel without being directly on the water. Finally, we have nothing but rave reviews for Doug and his team. Doug is basically like getting a wedding planner for free with your venue. He is very detail oriented and will go over every part of your reception with you multiple times. He walks through the entire day in 15 minute increments. Doug offers his opinion and expertise for how the day should flow (trust him), menu, etc. but is always willing to make sure your day is exactly what you want. We had extra speeches that he was happy to accommodate while keeping the day moving to maximize dancing and fun. Throughout the entire process we felt confident that Doug was on top of everything - he was quick to respond to every email, phone call, and quirky request. Doug worked very well with all our vendors - florist, band, transportation. And even though we did not use their ceremony location at Camp Hero, Doug drove out to us with the spot to show us the view and how to get in, and we used it for our pictures before the reception. He set up the permit for us as well. During the reception, Doug and the rest of his team - especially our maitre d’ and bridal attendant - were just as wonderful and attentive. They were helpful to all our guests, most importantly making sure the groom’s 92 year old grandma was comfortably brought up in the elevator and seated. The bride loves lamb chops and they always made sure to bring the tray by us. They kept the bridal suite well stocked with food and drinks for the bridal party and immediate family. When we wanted the cake and the card box moved, they acted quickly. They regularly checked in with us and made sure our needs were met without being intrusive. As you can see by this lengthy review, we absolutely loved our reception and don’t have a single negative thing to say about Doug, his team, or 360. Neither did our 160+ guests, who are still talking about how great it was. Thank you again to everyone at 360!

having your wedding here. This venue gets a lot of praise, as well as the GM Doug.. but this review will give you the REAL INS AND OUTS of what you'll be dealing with. First, location, food & drink.. AMAZING. The pictures are the reality. Its gorgeous and even more beautiful in person. The food was the best wedding food I've ever had, and my guests highly agreed. Although you don't get to try your food... which is not okay being the money you have to pay! We chose to do the grand reception and our guests loved it. The most highly rated factor was the alcohol. The bartenders are AWESOME! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE NICOLETTE! She was our bridal attendant and I am so thankful for her! Our maitre'd was not helpful. He really didn't do much at all. The cocktail hour outside on the patio makes for the best party starter. Ceremony is gorgeous, but if guests arrive any earlier than 4pm, they're required to pay a fee. Also Doug will tell you that they're the only venue who owns rights to have ceremonies on the bluffs, they don't. There was a ceremony before ours... which worries vendors who have to set up, so know that. Now, the negatives. I want to preface this section with the following note. I went through my entire wedding process feeling afraid to call or talk to my GM, Doug one on one... because of his negative attitude. My entire family some times thought I was being a nervous bride... but on the day of my wedding they left understanding why and felt it was necessary for me to share my story with potential couples looking to get married here. When you arrive here for a tour, Doug will STEAL YOUR HEART. He is a great salesman. Just know that. Once he gets your deposit, everything changes. Doug doesn't communicate much through email, at first, I thought it was to keep clear communication, but after about 2 months of discussing details, I realized it was because he is so completely unorganized and scattered with the things he says that he doesn't want to keep a paper trail. Then to add, if he messes up on something, he has NO PROBLEM making you think it was your fault, or making you feel like you never communicated something to him. He has said things to me such as "what are you talking about??? Ive never said that!" "well this is news to me..." "you really need to go read your contract cause thats incorrect" (even though HE WAS INCORRECT) "tell your fiancé to watch it with the comments" <-- yes, a literal threat. All of those things have been said, no exaggerations. He got nasty with my mother in law on the day of. Also, got into a HUGE altercation with my sister in law that HE CAUSED. We didn't know it happened because our generous family chose to not spoil our night, but Doug took us from our party to tell us everything that happened and blamed it all on her. No GM or maitre'd should ever make a couple feel this way on their special day. He is only concerned with his own personal agenda, and thats making money and being right. The staff and bartenders told us he is an awful person, and I truly don't think that Lessing's should trust him with this venue. Brides, you should have a GM/maitre'd who is kind, approachable, professional and organized. This is not Doug. I hope this review helps!

I gave this venue one star. The general manager Doug has to be one of the most obnoxious and disrespectful people I have ever met. The fact that this man is in hospitality astounds me. My sister in law had multiple instances during the planning process where she was disrespected. Every time she called with a question about her wedding he acted like he was so put out by her requests. Every request was answered with a disgusting remark. He made me cry at the wedding! He approached the bride and groom with issues during their reception instead of taking care of them himself. My mother (mother of the groom) asked him where the card box was and instead of answering her, he nastily pointed at a staff member and said you can ask them. He is the nastiest person I have ever met and it is a shame that he will ruin the establishments reputation. Lessings should revisit there management here before it is too late.

omfortable working with 360. Working specifically with Douglas Sheehan, the general manager was a treat. He is very experienced and organized and is by your side throughout the entire planning process. His frequent emails and phone calls shows his determination to make the day as special as possible. He made himself available at any time even on the weekends. Especially the weeks leading up the the wedding, Doug puts you and only you on his agenda. He ensures his brides are very important and he proved just that. During the Wedding, maitre D John, bridal attendant Danielle and all of the 360 staff were exquisite. John was by my side every step of the way to ensure everything went perfectly at the ceremony as well as the reception. The food was to die for! We specifically picked this venue because of the amazing food that comes with the Lessings name. Between the breathtaking ceremony site at Camp Hero to the amazing picture perfect views at the Downs, our wedding was a fairytale. If you plan to have your fairytale wedding in Montauk this is the venue for you.

. Doug was arrogant and abrupt the entire time. It is clearly his way or the highway...

ized and on track throughout the entire process and was always so helpful and kind. We used all outside vendors, all of which Doug personally reached out to prior to the big day. Our photographer who does many weddings mentioned this to us and says nowhere has ever done this before and was very thankful. The day of, everything was SO smooth. Jon, our maitre'D, was so kind and helpful to not just us but all of our guests said so too. Every staff member went over the top to make sure we were all happy and everyone had a great time. Everything was extremely professional. I could really go on and on but I will always cherish our wedding day. Not to mention, Both reception and ceremony spots are BREATH TAKING. Camp Hero is unlike anywhere else, people were blown away. I look around on Facebook at our guests and see everyones profile pictures are at the site. As far as the reception, what I didn't want was a dark, windowless and 'hall' like and the high ceilings, gorgeous windows and doors, open and bright floor plan exceeded my expectations. THANK YOU 360 EAST!!

mely great care of us-- he was communicative, detailed, organized and overall great to work with until the very end. The food was amazing and the additional options we added-- food stations for cocktail hour, alcohol additions, pretzels at the end of the night, etc. were easy and not over-the-top expensive. I highly recommend this venue. Our ceremony took place on the bluffs overlooking the water and the lighthouse and the reception at 360 East with surrounding views and an incredible sunset. It was a great experience and we wish it wasn't over.

so rude.

to wait. After 40 minutes of waiting it was now a half hour passed our appointment time but we were never greeted by anyone or told that they would be running behind. Due to the impending snow we decided to leave. They never called. Although the venue looks beautiful from the pictures with service like this I will not be making another appointment to visit here.

ith and started working with me on details in December 2016 and served as wise counsel along the way until our wedding day. The ballroom is absolutely stunning at night, we had many guests remark how they felt like they had halos hanging over them due to the magical chandeliers. I can't recommend 360 East enough. Thank you Doug and staff! Jaime Harkins

e! We booked in our first meeting with him. I work in Interior Design, so I had very particular ideas how my vision and personal touches were executed and Doug didn't hesitate to support them all and found creative solutions for some of my wild ideas. We had the ceremony on site since we got married November 5th and it was just beautiful in the tent overlooking the course and Lake Montauk. The day to night experience is moody and beautiful and our sunset was epic. It was the most perfect day for my husband and I and all of our guests were overwhelmed with the full experience Doug helped create. The maître d and bridal attendant were also amazing in keeping the night moving smoothly, and the bartenders and waiters kept it fun while being attentive. It was so important to me to focus on making this day about my mine and my husband's union and it was exactly that-- reflective of our life, personality and love! Thank you 360, and thank you Doug!

views of Lake Montauk and the Montauk Downs golf course. The room fit 200 of our guests spaciously and had a beautiful mix of a rustic yet classy style. So many of our guests were stunned by how unique the venue was. Doug Sheehan was a tremendous help throughout the wedding planning process and was making sure our event was perfect and run smoothly up until the end. He was extremely attentive all year and answered all of our questions almost immediately. There was never a question too big or too small that Doug wouldn’t take the time to call and discuss with us to make sure that we were happy. He worked tirelessly for us so that we could enjoy the planning process as well as be able to celebrate and enjoy our day. We can’t thank Doug enough for all of his hard work and time that he spent with us. He made the huge task of planning a wedding very fun! The maitre D John and bridal attendant Danielle were extremely welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived to the reception and took great care of us and all of our guests. The food and service were truly outstanding!! Our guests had a spectacular night and have not stopped raving about our wedding. Thank you Doug, John, Danielle and all of the 360 staff for making this possible!

hoped for a more special and wonderful day! From the very first time we visited the ceremony location and the 360 East venue, we knew that it was “the place” for us. The naturalistic beauty of the landscapes, the modern architectural exterior, the breathtaking ballroom space, and the amazing food and service were just a few of the reasons that we chose to have our wedding with 360 East. Manager Doug Sheehan was there for us every step of the way, treating us with the utmost professionalism and personalized attention. There was never a time when Doug didn’t get back to me almost immediately, and believe me, I had plenty of questions along the way. His guidance was invaluable and gratefully appreciated, and we loved his sense of humor as well, which helped keep things light, exciting, and fun. When the weekend of the wedding finally arrived we were thankfully able to have our ceremony outdoors at Camp Hero (despite the fact that it had been raining for three days straight beforehand), all thanks to Doug’s weather reports and updates the morning of. He made everything happen stress free! During the ceremony, Bridal Attendant Gabby and Maitre D John were extremely helpful in making sure that all of the details were in place at every moment, from the bridal party procession to the positioning of my gown and veil (Gabby also did an amazing job securing my bustle later on at the reception)! After our beautiful ceremony we were ready to celebrate and the 360 East venue was the perfect place to dance the night away to live band Arcadia! Our guests had the time of their life and the dancefloor was packed all night! We have been hearing wonderful feedback from family and friends for weeks now! The décor and atmosphere were perfect, the food and drinks were beyond delicious, and the service was impeccable! We couldn’t have asked for more! Doug and the 360 East staff truly made our wedding day dreams come true! It was an incredibly special day in so many ways, one that we can't stop talking about and will never forget! Words cannot fully express our gratitude……THANK YOU!!! 

we were pleased with all of them. Special shoutouts to Michelle, John, and Doug. Michelle was my bridal attendant who helped make sure I was happy throughout the evening. John was our Maitre De who ensured that every guest was happy and every detail was smooth. Doug helped us from start to finish throughout the process, assuring we had the day of our dreams. Thank you all so much!

that this was the place we wanted to start our lives together. The view of the lighthouse at Camp Hero and the beautiful wooden ballroom with its floor to ceiling windows and unique chandeliers had us sold. Moreover, from that first meeting with Doug, it was obvious that he took great pride in the venue and was dedicated to making every couples' wedding day at 360 the day of their dreams. Throughout the next year and a half, I communicated with Doug almost every month -- he made sure I stayed on track planning, answered every silly little question, and even when I could tell he was stressed with more pressing issues (the man has a lot on his plate), he always got back to me with answers within a day. To be completely honest, you might feel some resistance to some of your ideas (Pinterest is definitely the wedding industry's worst nightmare), but this because Doug knows what works and what doesn't, and in the end, he and his staff will do everything they can to make your wedding day vision a reality. And when it came down to the day of, what Doug and the 360 staff did for us was more than we could have even asked for. To say things were perfect feels like an understatement! From the breathtaking views at our ceremony, to watching the sun set over the golf course at cocktail hour, to the delicious food (and the elegant way it was served), our guests were saying it was the best wedding they had ever attended! Additionally, every single member of the staff was unbelievably nice -- especially the bridal attendant Danielle (who set up all our decorations flawlessly, and took amazing care of us from the moment we arrived at the ceremony until the moment we left 360 at the end of the night) and the Maitre'D Jake who made sure our parents and us were never without food or drink. Both of them kept our wedding on schedule AND at the same time saw that we actually had the time to enjoy it! Danielle also meticulously packed up all of our decorations and her and the staff helped load them into our cars at the end of the night. I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the people working there. If you love Montauk, good food, and good service, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BOOK!

ls, phone calls and stressful moments of planning Doug helped to ensure everything fell perfectly into place. Even when he was busy working on an upcoming event Doug would always promise to get back to my daughter as soon as he could; and would inevitably do so. The week leading up to the wedding Doug was fully engaged and obviously committed to ensuring everything would go as planned. He knew my daughter had a vision for what she wanted and he promised to do his best " to make it work"! All the decorations my daughter brought out there to give a vintage touch were set up at the ceremony and inside the venue beautifully ( thanks to Doug and Danielle - the fabulous bridal attendant. ) From the moment we arrived at Camp Hero the Maitre D' Jake and Danielle made us feel at ease and took care of our every need throughout the afternoon and evening. The ceremony was incredible and the guests could not get over the beauty of the east end - such a breathtaking backdrop for a wedding! The reception was perfect as well. This venue is elegant and beautiful yet different than the typical Long Island wedding venue. The entire staff made sure everyone was taken care of and the service was exceptional. Several guests were extremely impressed with the synchronized table service and all those that ordered the Gorgonzola crusted filet commented that it was outstanding. Actually all the food was delicious and plentiful. Doug, Danielle and Jake along with the wonderful staff created a smooth and flawless event and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue. There will be stressful moments and things you may question along the way - but have no doubt these people are professionals and they take their job of making your day a memorable and beautiful event to heart. We had concerns how our guests would feel about having to come all this way and spend a summer weekend in Montauk but thanks to Doug and his team (and a little help from Mother Nature) our guests fell in love with Montauk too!

it. Both Jhon and Danielle made sure we were happy and on schedule.

date without any hesitation, it also helped knowing that Doug Sheehan would be helping us along the way. Doug is organized, patient and makes you feel relaxed throughout the entire wedding process. He was always there to answer a call or email and made us feel like a priority. On the day of our wedding we had our pictures taken at Camp Hero which Doug set up for us the views were incredible and left our entire bridal party speechless! When we walked into the venue room for the first time, we were in awe, Doug and his amazing staff truly exceeded our expectations. Throughout the night everything ran smoothly thanks in large part to our Maitre D, John, who made sure we were hydrated and having fun as well as Gabby, our bridal attendant who was so sweet and helpful. The entire staff does an amazing job and our guests we're blow away with the incredible service, food and overall experience at 360 East. We would highly recommend having your wedding here and wish we could relive the day! Thanks again to Doug and the entire staff!

perfectly on your special day. I will forever cherish pulling up in our old Cadillac convertible, champagne bottle in hand, to all of our wedding guests hooting and hollering on the second floor greeting our arrival. As we walked in complete awe, Doug and Jhon, the maitre d, welcomed us and helped us to get settled. Jhon pampered us and our guests all evening long. The waitstaff was phenomenal with their perfectly orchestrated entree delivery, the bartenders were fast and the bridal attendant not only assisted me, but our guests, as well. The entire evening was perfection. After looking at other venues in Montauk with heightened seasonal prices, I am SO GLAD we chose 360 East at Montauk Downs & Doug. If you are looking to plan the perfect wedding, look no further. 💗

xcellent and the staff was extremely professional. Gabby the bridal attendant also did truly an amazing job. Our guests are still raving about the party!

ff. During the wedding planning, it was honestly a toss up between 360 East and the Montauk Yacht Club. After meeting with Doug, we did not hesitate choosing 360 East as our wedding venue. Doug was very passionate about his work, the service and what 360 East could offer. He was with us every step of the way throughout our 14-month engagement. It's only been over a week since our wedding, but our guests are still talking about how perfect our wedding was. From the gorgeous views to the delicious food, we highly recommend booking your wedding at 360 East! We really wish we could do it again!

a cloud in the sky! Our guests were in shock of how beautiful everything was. They kept coming up to us during the wedding to tell us it was the best wedding they have been too and their food was delicious! I would highly recommend having your wedding at this venue! It was the best decision i ever made and our guests will be talking about it forever!

l, and always patient. Doug even met us at the ceremony site the day before our wedding to talk about wind direction and what the maritime forecast was predicting. He truly went above and beyond for us! The day itself was beyond our expectations. The maître d’ and bridal attendant were two of the nicest people and hustled all night long, making sure my husband and I, and our families were taken care of. We have received nothing but compliments from our guests about the beautiful venue, the delicious food (!!!!), and the professional staff. The ceremony site, cocktail area, and reception room were all magnificent. Absolutely no regrets with having our wedding at 360 East, we couldn’t be happier!

ned out PERFECT!!! I wouldn’t change a single thing. The ceremony location is breath taking and the lighthouse as our background made our pictures gorgeous. The reception location is beautiful and really shines at sunset. The staff was an absolute joy to work with. Doug is phenomenal and put all my worries to ease about planning a wedding from so far away. He was always available either by email or phone. I don’t think there was a single time he didn’t answer when I called and he always responded to my emails within the day. He really went above and beyond to make our day everything we wanted. The food was delicious and there was a ton! We went with the Grand Reception and the amount of delicious food was beyond our expectations. Our guests raved about the food and how many choices there were, which is important when throwing a wedding with a large Italian family. The cake was included in our wedding package and we went with red velvet and cream cheese frosting. It was very moist and they will make you a top tier for your anniversary. All in all I am very grateful to the staff at Montauk Downs and highly recommend it to those looking to have a picturesque Montauk wedding.

anding and professional work (with a great sense of humor as well!). Bruce helped throughout the entire evening, and even made it a point to have me (the bride) sit and eat a little! The atmosphere is awesome, sunset can't be beat, and the service out of this world. We are so happy we chose 360.

recommend 360 to all our friends in the future.

ive to emails and phone calls. - We had about 130 guests, which felt like the perfect size, but you could definitely fit more people in the room comfortably. - Our ceremony was on the Bluffs at Camp Hero. Doug took care of all of the permits and set-up. It was gorgeous. - We opted to have some "add ons" including a hot food station during the cocktail hour, and to extend the cocktail hour to 90 minutes. I would strongly recommend extending the cocktail hour as it gave us more time to chat with our guests. - The maitre-de Bruce and bridal attendant Amanda took great care of us, and also made sure our parents and immediate family had everything they needed. In fact all of the waitstaff and bartenders were super friendly and helpful. - The bridal suite was newly renovated. Throughout the wedding Amanda and Bruce made sure there was plenty of food and drinks for us in the suite. They also made sure that we sat down to dinner and ate! - Cake from the Rolling Pin Bakery was included in the package and it was delicious! They sent a plain cake, and the staff at 360 east decorated it the day of the wedding with fresh flowers/succulents that we provided (to match our centerpieces). - I DIY'd my centerpieces. Since there was no wedding the night before ours, I was able to set up everything the day before. Things that needed to be set up day of were handled by the 360 east staff. They did an excellent job!! - Food was great, everyone liked the pesto grilled shrimp with lobster risotto. Our favorite appetizers were the lobster bisque, shrimp cocktail, and the short ribs (part of the add on). Overall we would highly recommend this place!

ting and throughout, he never tried to pressure us or to rush us into making decisions. He was friendly and warm, and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. I truly felt that he was genuine in trying to help make our wedding as beautiful and special as possible, and he did just that. As the planning continued, he was very approachable and responsive. I am a big emailer, and my emails (and phone calls) were always answered quickly and efficiently. The details of the wedding, and the costs involved, were always transparent. He had excellent suggestions on how the evening would flow best. He let us know what paperwork to complete/ what tasks to have done in what time frame, so that I never felt rushed or behind. I did not have a wedding planner and did not feel that I needed one, because my communication with Doug was so easy. We held our ceremony at a church and our reception at 360 East. The moment we arrived at 360 East, we were greeted by the maitre'd and day-of planner. They were very helpful throughout the evening, making sure that my now husband, Steve, and I were always taken care of. The coordination was perfect. I sang our first song to my husband, which was a secret, which was a little tricky logistically but 360 East helped me pull it off and surprise him completely. The transition from cocktail hour to reception was very smooth. My guests always felt comfortable. The room itself is stunning. There is only 1 event held at a time at 360 East, so you really have the entire place to yourself and your guests. The cocktail hour outside on the deck as the sun was setting was beautiful. The room itself is quintessential Montauk - from the wood to the big chandeliers (my favorite part!) to the fireplace to the windows. Views of both to golf course and Lake Montauk were stellar. The food was wonderful- all of it, and I did eat! The hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour were delicious and plentiful. We had a raw bar, which had terrific fresh seafood and shellfish. All 3 entrees were exceptional, and the cake from Rolling Pin Bakery and Viennese pastries were great. My guests continue to rave about the food, even weeks after the wedding. The bars were easily accessible by the guests, and there was never a line at the bar or a shortage of drinks! The bartenders were friendly and professional. Finally, the service was excellent. The servers were very helpful, but service did not in any way interrupt the songs/ dances/ etc. The food was served white-glove style, with all members of a table being served at the same time. It was very special and upscale. From beginning to end, my experience with 360 East was outstanding. If you plan to get married in Montauk, take a serious look at 360 East. The quality and value of their events is exceptional. And everyone and their mother hasn’t had their wedding there. I would choose to have my wedding at 360 East again 1000x over if I had to make the decision again. 360 East made 9/26/15 the best day of my life.

with me almost daily at the end to make sure every little thing we wanted was taken care of. He was also super helpful in working with us on budget and helping us book extras (ie limo). We had a maitre'd and bridal attendant assigned to us that did everything from managing my mom's purse (no joke, she was stressing about it) to calling cabs for every single guest, to giving me a pep talk before i walked down the aisle, and I loved them. I genuinely did not have to worry about a single thing except for simply showing up and remembering my vows, and our entire experience there was incredibly personal and beyond magical.

king to see if there was anything we needed and to make sure everything stayed on schedule. The food was excellent, the venue spectacular. We heard nothing but great comments from all our friends and family for weeks afterward. Thank you all, including the wait staff that really took pride in their job, yet remained almost invisible, for a wonderful experience!!

ss and leave you feeling relieved, satisfied, and thankful of their presence. Doug Sheehan, Bruce, and the Bridal Attendant at the 360 East @ Montauk Downs are a three punch combo that, along with the fantastic serving and decorating staff, made my wife and mine’s wedding a dream come true. Glitches and snags at any wedding are inevitable, whether with the guest list, the bridal dress, or any number of factors. It’s how the staff handles it that matters, and the staff at the 360 East truly is a blessing. A wedding may only happen once in a lifetime, and when you choose to have yours on a cliff overlooking the Montauk Lighthouse, you are setting yourself up for the most perfect day of your life. Never have I felt safer in my planning of an event than I had with the manager, Doug Sheehan. For a man that handles 3 weddings a weekend, it is unexplainable as to how he makes you and your spouse’s wedding feel like it is the only, and last one he will ever oversee. I am forever grateful and in debt to the 360 East for providing my guests with a wedding overall considered the best they have attended of their lives. It isn’t often the father of the bride asks you to hold off on tipping the Maitre D’, the staff, and the bridal attendant, because he is so impressed with their works he wants to tip them as well.

Doug was very relaxed, friendly and organized. He was always available if we had any questions and gave us a very secure sense that everything would be just fine. Well, it was way beyond fine!! The setting is magnificent and we were blessed with excellent weather. The wrap around deck with views of Lake Montauk and the sunset over the golf course were breathtaking. Cocktails and hor d'orves were served on the deck and everyone loved the wide assortment of tasty food and beverages. The food flowed easily through the crowd thanks to the excellent servers on staff. From the very minute we walked through the door we all felt totally taken care of. The services of the maitre d', wedding attendant and entire wait staff were excellent. Very, very professional staff. The food was delicious and served in a timely efficient manner. My daughter and son-in-law loved every minute of their reception and we were so happy that we chose 360 East @ Montauk Downs to celebrate their special day. Perfection from start to finish! If you are considering a destination wedding to the eastern end of Long Island don't hesitate to look into this venue and book it, you'll be so happy that you did!! Sharon and Rich Burns

lifetime. From the first meeting I had with Doug, I knew I had nothing to worry about and that he would take care of EVERYTHING! He did not disappoint and made all of my visions and dreams come true for my wedding night! I would highly recommend using this venue as a wedding location. Not only is it a beautiful space but the staff are truly amazing and will make your wedding the most special day of your life!

cial place for us and we looked at numerous venues in Montauk. 360 East has the most incredible views and the room is breathtaking. One of the main reasons we choose this place was because of Doug Sheehan and his team! We not only had Doug but we had an incredible Maître De and bridal attendant with us the whole night. Our bridal party and family had their own staff to accommodate their every need. Doug truly became family. His years of experience and professionalism is unrivaled. His expertise was invaluable to us. He helped in every detail of our planning. He brought our Nautical Chic vision to life in so many ways. My father was a chef and the food and flow of the night was very important to us. Doug and his team made sure everything was handled seamlessly and the food was outstanding. Our expectations were exceeded in so many ways. To all the brides reading this, I don't have to tell how important is it to have someone understand your vision on your wedding day and know you can feel at ease if something unplanned arises. To have a team in place with a plan B ready to go is priceless. It was raining the day of our wedding which normally would be a bummer. However, Doug knew how important it was to have our cocktail hour outside and he made it happen! Rain or shine this venue is a top notch pick! To our dear friend Doug~ Cheers you are SIMPLY THE BEST! May you continue to make every Bride and Grooms dreams become a reality. Thank you for helping us create a lifetime of beautiful memories. xoxo The Brennans

mportantly friend throughout this whole stressful wedding process! We really felt at ease knowing that he had everything under control. Everything was perfect, I can honestly say there is not one thing I would change about our wedding, and I owe that all to doug and staff! We keep hearing from our guests how our ceremony location is the most beautiful they have ever seen, the cocktail hour overlooking the Montauk Downs Golf Course was stunning, and the food was out of this world (we agree). Jolene our bridal attendant is the best in the business, from decorating the venue with all of my DIY decorations to a T, to making sure our bridal suite was stacked with food/drinks and Mike and I were never without a drink in hand, to cleaning up and neatly packing everything at the end of the night, I can't thank her enough. She really made our night extraordinary and you are so lucky to have someone like that at 360 east! Bruce, our Maitre De was equally as accommodating to our family, bridal party and guests and he is the perfect man for the job making sure he is on top of everything and nothing is missed throughout the night! Mike and I feel so lucky to have been able to have our wedding at 360 east and couldn't have asked for anything more. I am sure we will be back for another wedding soon after all of the compliments!

at the food was and the cocktail reception outside on the patio can't be beat (especially if you're lucky enough to time it perfectly with a Montauk sunset). It's a relatively new space (about a year and a half) and once they ironed out the kinks and landed on a professional GM (Doug Sheehan), their customer service was on par with expectations. The night of the reception exceeded expectations and the staff was amazing (especially maître d' Jonathan and bridal attendant Jolene). Would definitely recommend. Can't be beat for a wedding in Montauk!

to understand what our wishes and goals were, and he made creative suggestions to achieve both the beach wedding and the casual reception we desired. The necessary permits were taken care of seamlessly by Doug as well as the set up of furniture and arch on the beach. Our guests complimented us on our selections of ceremony location and reception venue and raved about the food. That only convinced us that we made the perfect choice by selecting 360 East at Montauk Downs. Thank you Doug for making our wedding a dream come true!!!

so we ultimately decided we should look for a venue for the reception. 360 East was one of the first places I thought of because I knew it would be reasonably priced and I had heard good things from other brides about the venue. After meeting with Doug, I knew I made the right decision. He kept me organized and on track. The reception went off without a hitch. The staff is professional and constantly on the ball making sure everything runs smoothly. You really are taken care of at 360 East. I didn't have to worry about anything, so I could have fun and enjoy my guests! I even got to dance!!!

visited for the first time. We were able to have our ceremony at Camp Hero right on the bluffs overlooking the light house. The staff had everything figured out and I did not have to worry about a thing. After a short ride to the downs, cocktail hour was on the beautiful balcony that surrounds the main room. The cocktail hour food was perfect to me. Not too much but just enough. We chose the buffet stations and there was something for everyone. Whether it was a BBQ station or seared salmon. Once again, I did not have to worry about a thing. My drink was also full and my table full of food. What I really loved was that the staff took care of my family as well. At the end of the night, all of my decor was placed neatly in the bridal suite to take home. If you're looking for a venue that has a blank canvas and is easy to decorate to your own liking, 360 is just that. With its beautiful cathedral ceiling and stunning rustic looking chandeliers, it leaves much to the imagination. Doug was FANTASTIC and anything we needed he was able to make happen. I highly suggest having a wedding at 350 East.
