Highly recommend Gala and Temple Beth Torah for your wedding venue. After having to change our date 3x due to covid, I realized how important it is to work with kind and flexible people. The team here made a stressful situation alot less stress...
ful, they were so accommodating and helpful. Gayle was great to work with — always a text or phone call away for the smallest of questions. We got so many compliments on how gorgeous the venue was and especially how delicious the food was. The cocktail hour is incredible - one that people are still talking about 2 months later! I would book this venue alone for Mrs. T - she is AMAZING. The other reviews don’t lie! She will bring you water on the dance floor, fix your dress bustle perfectly, and put a smile on yours and everyone’s faces. She made my entire day that much better!!

Our guests marveled that they could not believe they were even at a temple- the sanctuary was stunning, cocktail hour so chic, food was off the charts, and the ballroom housed one of the best parties ever.

We had a magical night of the wedding. The Temple was ready for us when we got there for pictures at the Chupah. Food and drinks were in the bridal and groom getting ready rooms. The Ketubah signing was well done by the Rabbi and the ceremon...
y performed was warm and meaningful. The cocktail room is outstanding. It is modern and very roomy. The food stations were amazing and the bar had so many bartenders behind it so the guests did not have to wait knee deep for their drinks. Friends and family all remarked about how great the food was and how wonderful the service was. Glasses were filled regularly and napkins folded at all times. Remarkably the main meal came out hot and it was delicious. The bridal attendant was beyond amazing!!! There was nothing she did not do for us including getting my grandson (20 mos) grilled cheese to eat. Their recommendation for flowers was spot on. We used Metro and they did an outstanding job. The flowers were beautiful and the Chupah was just as we asked it to be-lucite with floating candles and beautiful white flowers with greenery on top. The after party was back in the cocktail room-more good food, desserts and plenty of drinks. They even let us extend it to 3 AM. I highly recommend checking this Temple out when considering a venue. Everyone worked with us to make sure the evening was special for the bride and groom and their guests.

I am so glad that we decided to do it! The guests were able to enjoy dessert while still dancing the night away! My husband and I happened to be on stage dancing while the dessert parade was happening and we missed it! I asked Russ to if he could make us a small desert parade platter with a sparkler and he came running right over with it! Russ helped us recreate our own dessert parade and it was so appreciated and a special moment I will always remember!

They answer every email and follow through on all requests! Mrs. T: This woman deserves the world. She is absolutely amazing to everyone at the wedding. I was of course her priority, but any family member that needed anything (and I mean anything), she was more than happy to help out. She truly loves her job and always has a smile on her face. There are few words to say about her as she really is one of a kind. I didn't think I would need a bridal attendant while planning, and now I can't imagine my wedding without her! Dessert: We had the parade and everyone was amazed at how many desserts were being passed around, to the dance floor and people in their seats. I am a big dessert person and this was absolutely worth it for me! (Mrs. T even made sure I got an entire plate with all the desserts)

Gayle, Russ and their team at Gala Events know how to help plan a wedding and will work hand in hand with you to make sure everything is how you want it to be. Every detail of our wedding was handled professionally and exquisitely from the moment we walked in until the conclusion of our weekend. The bridal attendant, Tamara (Mrs. T) was super helpful, attentive and always prepared in case anything happens to go wrong (nothing did!). Russ is ALWAYS available and at the top of his game when it comes to any questions you might have, responding in a timely fashion. They also took care of all the finer details that the bride and groom may overlook during the planning process and really put in great effort to make sure no stone goes unturned. You would be hard-pressed to find a better place out there that makes the planning, communication and the most important night of your life any smoother and stress-free than Gala Events at Temple Beth Torah. We wish we could do it all over again!

I also must mention the absolutely amazing Mrs. T, the Bridal Attendant. She is such a wonderful person and took care of all of our needs from the entire evening from start to finish. I cannot say enough about this venue . Choosing Temple Beth Torah/ Gala Event was by far the best decision I made.

We had a fabulous wedding experience from the personalization of our wedding to the food, and assistance throughout the year in planning it to the actual day. Gayle and Russ were both great in helping us coordinate our wedding and our vendors. ...
We hope to attend a wedding or event at Temple Beth Torah with Gala Event & Food Artistry so we can actually take the time to eat all the food and just sit back and watch the magic happen.

This is going to be a lengthy posts, so if you are not a reader, just stop right here, and go see Gayle and Russ immediately to book your wedding (and/or bar/bat mitzvah). You will not regret it. For those of you who like details, here you go....
My wedding was last night (11/05/16) and as I walked out I said to Russ, "I can't wait to write your review." The whole entire day (and year up until then) was in a word, perfection. When my family and I first walked in to TBT, and saw the decor and beautiful sanctuary, I was extremely interested. When Gayle came out to meet us and give us a tour, I fell in love. Everything she told me was exactly what I had been looking for and could not find on Long Island. The food she described was styled and similar to the trendy food I love to eat in NYC. It was really crazy how everything Gayle said was everything I loved. Needless to say, we booked it the following weekend. Leading up to the wedding, they were BY FAR the easiest vendor with whom we worked. Gayle and/or Russ answered any questions I had within minutes via text/email/phone call and it didn't hurt that Gayle and I oddly have the same taste in EVERYTHING. Yesterday was magical thanks to Russ and Gayle. Everything was seamless and flawless. Many guests commented that our ceremony was the nicest they had ever been to. Rabbi Wiesenberg was amazing and funny and made our ceremony so personal. Cantor Applebaum enhanced the ceremony with a beautiful voice. The food was amazing. Just amazing. Our guests at the cocktail hour kept stopping us to tell us how delicious everything was (fan favorites: Kobe hotdogs, sliders, brick oven pizza, zucchini noodle bolognese, and lamb chops, duh). The cocktail hour room is HUGE and felt spacious, yet warm and intimate. The ballroom is SUPER modern with a huge white dance floor. The service was incredible and I heard from multiple tables how attentive the servers were and that they kept the drinks flowing the whole night (shout out to Tamara - I love you!). Best part about my evening (besides, like, the wedding itself) was Harriet, my best friend/bridal attendant. She was SO helpful and organized and knew everything I needed before I needed it. Unreal. Gayle, you know how I feel about you. Russ, you are awesome as well and both of you made last night BEYOND WORDS amazing and our families and I cannot thank you enough for the BEST NIGHT EVER.

the entire planning process. Gayle and Russ were especially wonderful. We had 300 guests and each of them left there more than satisfied with our vendors, raving about the food. If I was able to do it all over again I would do it the exact same way, working with Gala Events.

which was Glatt kosher, and most said it was the BEST food they have ever had at a wedding. People are still talking about the food a couple weeks later! The ballroom and cocktail room are beautiful and elegant and the sanctuary made a lovely spot for pictures and the ceremony. Tamara, the bridal attendant, is the most lovely, attentive, and helpful woman. Russ said in the beginning that the one rule of the wedding was that I couldn't take Tamara home and now I totally see why!! She is wonderful!! The whole team at Gala are dedicated, enthusiastic and meticulous. I would highly recommend using Gala for your wedding!!

od (especially the cocktail hour) was like nothing our guests have seen or tasted before. They're big on presentation but definitely not at the expense of taste. Tamara the bridal attendant was an absolute life saver all day long. And because they only do one wedding at a time, we had the run of the venue for everything -- bridesmaids getting ready, groomsmen getting ready, pictures (the patio area provided a perfect space for outdoor pictures), etc. We knew the second we met with the Gala team that this was our venue and caterer, and we're thrilled with every detail of what they created for our wedding.

My dream came true!!! This past March my husband and I got married at Temple Beth Torah. Our contract was signed before the renovation was finished and we were blown away. I had a certain vision for our wedding and Gayle, Bob and Russ at Gala m...
ade that vision come to life. Gala has wonderful relationships with other vendors and because of those relationships they were able to handle small details and not overwhelm us. Our ceremony was incredible, there was a silhouette screen before I walked down the aisle that was absolutely romantic! For our cocktail hour they helped us create a caviar bar and an incredible sushi bar as well. One of the best parts about having a wedding is when weeks and months pass by, people talk about it. To this day (almost 4 months later) everyone talks about how phenomenal the food was, it makes my husband and I smile every single time. Topping off our perfect evening was our after party which supplied our guests with more wonderful food and a perfect display of Baked By Melissa. Finally our evening was sealed with the most perfect pictures outside in the snow (yes it snowed on March 28) and Gala helped create the most romantic background with candles and lighting. I recommend this venue to anyone who wants their vision brought to life and their dream to come true.
