Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club

Food is amazing and they truly go above and beyond to make sure you’re happy. Cannot say enough good things Best night of my life thanks to all of these people!

epth planning meetings to quick touch bases on favors; from ceremony rehearsal to wrapping up the after-party. Even other vendors we worked with were thrilled to hear we would be at MBYC. How much better can you get than that? Every detail was taken care of to spend the entire day there. I got ready with my party in their bridal suite; the bridal attendants were so sweet (I’m telling all my brides to have them if they can). We heard from our guests that cocktail hour was phenomenal (we didn’t make it, ha) and servers made sure there were minimal lines at the bars - I would’ve been thrilled to be a guest myself! If any fires were happening that day, they wouldn’t have let us see a thing. It was an absolute pleasure to celebrate with MBYC from booking them in December 2022 to our big day in September 2024.

sides the gorgeous view and building was the director of events Bob McSweeney! He went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I will always look back on this day as so special and Bob was a huge part of that. Highly recommend for weddings or other special events you may have.

g colors. Bob and Rosemary thought of every single thing we could need, want or even imagine. Every time we spoke with them they calmed us down immediately and had an answer for every single question we could come up with. They are the reason we were able to have the wedding of our dreams. We are also still hearing from guests about the food and views. I still cannot believe with that much food that every single dish (from the appetizers, the three course dinner, dessert and the after party) was absolutely delicious and perfect. If you are considering MBYC, book it immediately.

! A huge heartfelt THANK YOU to Bob and Rosemary as well as Sabrina and Maya - they were soooo accommodating, were extremely attentive and their attention to every detail made the evening so special for them and everyone who attended. We've heard so many compliments about the food, the way the place was set up and THE VIEW!!! This place is first rate, first class all the way!!! Can't say enough about them!!! Thanks again for a memorable day!!!!!! Carol and Eric K.

the greater New York area, and we urge you to look no further than MBYC to host a fantastic party that your guests will remember for years to come. Each time we visited MBYC, we felt more and more certain that this was the perfect place for our wedding, and our guests have emphatically raved nonstop since the wedding. From the copious amounts of delicious food, to the gorgeous indoor/outdoor atmosphere and stunning views, to the excellent on-site facilities for getting ready, pictures, after party and more, MBYC is a stellar venue with a variety of excellent offerings. In fact, we have found it difficult to find the words to adequately describe how absolutely phenomenal our experience was with MBYC and their team. Bob, James, Rosemary, the bridal attendants and the entire staff went above and beyond at every turn, from our very first meeting all the way until our wedding day. As a whole, they are professional, attentive, kind, and experienced, and equipped to handle every situation. We firmly believe that the people who work at MBYC-are the reason to book this venue. Bob, the events manager, has an unrivaled attention to detail and never ceased to amaze us. He was responsive throughout the entire planning process, fielding many type A questions from an anxious bride with grace and positivity. As our wedding date came closer, he expertly coordinated all of the details and vendors so I never had to lift a finger or worry that something wouldn’t go according to plan. He truly felt like he was working with our best interests in mind, which is rare in the wedding industry. James had a service oriented, client/guests-first mentality from our very first meeting, that only continued throughout our planning process up until our wedding day. We even observed him working alongside other staff in a spontaneous summer downpour to move the cocktail hour inside, only to move it back outside a few moments later after the storm had passed, because he knew that an outdoor cocktail hour had always been our vision. Many wedding venues and workers may have used this weather as an excuse to keep things simple, but Bob and James never did- they instead did everything they could to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams. You simply cannot replicate that level of service and dedication to your clients. We cannot discuss the incredible dining experience at MBYC without first mentioning Rosemary. She ensured all of our guests’ food arrived hot, managed a variety of dietary restrictions, and flawlessly executed a three course experience for our 250 guests. The food was superb- our cocktail stations were a hit, delicious and varied and regularly replenished. The sea bass has been called the best meal that some of our guests have EVER eaten at a wedding. We could go on and on about why Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club is absolutely, unequivocally the best wedding venue on the east coast- but bottom line is, do yourself a favor and book here. You will certainly not be disappointed.

ork with from day one. Rosemary and the staff made sure everything was perfect. Our bridal attendants were amazing. The food was phenomenal, everyone keeps telling us how amazing it tasted! If you’re thinking about booking here, I hope this review helps you make you decision! The best venue, we could not have asked for anything more!!!

e is asking me for a review of MBYC without actually letting the Club know that I inquired is setting them up for failure. This is not fair to them as a wedding venue.

nk about. They were so wonderful in the planning process, always so helpful, and extremely responsive. The day could not have flowed more seamlessly and all our guests continue to tell us that this is the best wedding they have ever been to (views, food, event layout, smoothness of event, etc). The staff was also wonderful, with special thanks to the bridal attendants for being so helpful and kind, which allowed us to really focus on our special day. The food and drinks exceeded expectations, with numerous people telling us it was the best filet they've ever had. People were also flocking to the bar because the bartenders made cocktails that were spot on. Choosing this venue and working with Bob and Rosemary was the best decision we made. We always felt so at ease and trusted them completely. We hope that one day we can attend something as guests so we can experience it for round 2 because it was so great. Thank you so much again, Bob and Rosemary!!

d, delicious and the quality was exceptional!! Not a detail was overlooked!

conclusion of the after party, they were an absolute joy to work with. Bob made us feel like we were his most important clients, even though they have several events every week. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are so glad we chose to have our wedding at MBYC. The views from the venue are unmatched and the way the ballroom looked at night was something out of a fairytale. It was raining on our wedding day and Bob did everything he could to make sure it was still the perfect evening. The bridal attendants were also such a wonderful touch and made me feel like the most special bride in the world. Thank you Bob and team for such an incredible experience - it was truly the wedding of our dreams!

nted patio - we totally envisioned this as our spot to say I do. But what really sold us was Bob. He was down to earth, professional, kind, and respectfully opinionated. He stuck with us through every stage of the process and made sure everything ran smoothly leading up to the wedding day and on the day itself. I am extremely Type A so I am very particular about "my team" - and I knew I was in good hands with Bob from the start. Our wedding day was perfect and everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. Definitely recommend!!

thing about the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club (MB&YC) is fantastic! From the location and views, to the staff and service, they couldn’t have done anything better. When we went in for a tour (based upon a recommendation from my parents), we didn’t know what to expect, but from the moment we met Bob McSweeney, I knew that this was the place we were meant to get married. Even if you ignore the 180 degree panoramic water view through the ballroom windows, the gorgeous tented deck used for the cocktail hour, the beautifully manicured outdoor spaces, and the lovely grassy lawn overlooking the strip of beachfront and shoreline used for outdoor ceremonies (which you shouldn’t ignore because all are breathtaking), the service alone would garner a 10 out of 10 for me. Bob, Rosemary, and the team are quite literally the best in the business. Bob and I spoke constantly in the months leading up to the event. He was always available to answer questions, talk through scenarios and options, and provide guidance (after all, this was the only time we’d planned a wedding… he does this every week and it shows.) Bob was in the trenches with his entire team all day and night (I am honestly not sure when he rests) and he was constantly there for anything we needed. He truly has his finger on the pulse of everything that happens in his venue. My friends all commented on how stress free I seemed the day of the wedding, and I told them I didn’t have to worry because “Bob’s got it”. The weather on our wedding day was touch and go, but Bob was there with a “Plan A”, “Plan B”, and “Plan C”. I knew that no matter where the ceremony was going to take place, it was going to be done beautifully. Fortunately, the rain held out and we got our dream ceremony overlooking the beach and the LI Sound. Bob and I were doing regular check-ins, and his final suggestion a couple hours before start time that we set up outside was the right call. We were given full use of BOTH suites upstairs from 9am until 1am the following morning when the afterparty ended (do yourself a favor and book the bonfire on the beach for your after party… even if it rains late night (which it did for us) the backup plan under the deck is still a ton of fun). I had a bridal attendant with my family/bridesmaids and me from 9am until midnight. We never had to ask for anything, as the team at MB&YC anticipated our every need. The food was spectacular, and the guests could not stop talking about how it was hands down the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. When we went for our tasting (where Bob spent hours going though all of the options with us) we made it a point to try everything, and we knew people would love it. The food is what you would get in a Michelin restaurant and people are still commenting on it. We had just over 200 people at the wedding, and the ballroom was perfect. Nothing felt cramped and everyone had room to dance all night long. There were 3 bars and no one was ever waiting for a drink. The staff was constantly making sure that every guest was well taken care of. From beginning to end, the team at the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club will ensure that your wedding day will be sheer perfection. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to get married there, grab it… you will not be disappointed. Say “hi” to Bob for me 😊

into a reality, guiding us through every step of the planning process with expertise and enthusiasm. Bob's attention to detail and his ability to anticipate our needs was truly remarkable. He went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our special day was flawless. His recommendations for vendors and layout were invaluable, and he made sure that everything ran seamlessly. The venue itself was breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The picturesque views of the water added a touch of magic to our ceremony and reception. Our guests were in awe of the beauty and charm that MBYC offered. The staff at MBYC were professional, friendly, and attentive. They worked tirelessly to make sure that our guests felt comfortable and taken care of. The level of service exceeded our expectations and left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. If you're searching for a venue that combines natural beauty, elegance, and top-notch service, look no further than Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club. Bob and his team are true experts in creating unforgettable moments, and we are forever grateful for their role in making our wedding day so special. Thank you, Bob, and the entire MBYC team, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

e ballroom inside in case of rain. The food was unbelievable. Our pictures on the premises turned out so great. And Bob is just an incredible event manager both while planning the event and during the event. Our wedding would not have been possible without him. He was incredibly responsive and helpful before the event, and on the day he managed the staff and pacing of the event perfectly. I have no idea how he manages to be so nice and helpful while under so much pressure all the time! He was on-site and running around from the morning of our wedding until after every guest was gone and we appreciated every minute of his hard work. I am so glad we had our reception here and I can't recommend it enough! Also for context on some of the older reviews, I think in the last few years, Bob has come in and really improved the place after it had declined. Bob has overseen renovations of many parts of the event space just in the 1.5 years we've known him, and has recently added some elegant and beautiful new elements. Now it's the only venue we looked at in Westchester that didn't look like it was last redecorated in 1985. So I advise anyone considering MBYC to visit the venue and talk to Bob before judging based on old reviews.

anner based on his extensive experience planning and hosting parties and weddings of all shapes and size at the Club. It feels like a family run establishment where they actually care about getting the little details of your wedding right - other vendors felt much more like a business transaction. They provide a day of bridal attendant who helps with everything from making sure you stay hydrated and fed to helping carry and bustle your dress train. Shoutout to Tori! The staff is amazing. Nobody waits in line at the bars, lots of people taking orders and passing around drinks. The food is delicious (and the food tasting was really special, with Bob personally serving us and describing the dishes and wine options) and the cocktail hour is extensive. Bob and Rosemary made sure every detail I had planned was put into action. It was also great to have them solve any last minute hiccups with vendors. We cannot recommend Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club enough!

the main clubhouse to see the venue for the very first time, my now wife had a collective “whoah” as we realized this place had a look and feel like no other place we'd previously seen. The setting is picturesque, and you are literally right on the water. The venue provides the best of indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremony, cocktail and reception, and I guarantee your guests will not stop talking about the water views. Once we saw the main reception room, which provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the Long Island Sound, we both instantly knew our search for a wedding venue was over. It was really a “no brainer”, and any pictures you see online do not do this place justice. We both felt like we had discovered plutonium by accident, and we felt fortunate that we were able to book MB&YC before the secret got out about it. The events director, Bob McSweeney, is truly a master of his craft. From day one, he was a pleasure to deal with- both responsive and professional. Bob will think of tons of little details about the event you won’t have thought of and each one will enhance your day. Bob is incredibly detailed, meticulous, and had our wedding from ceremony to end of reception planned down to the minute, and coordinated with our vendors to ensure perfection all around. It was like having a wedding planner without having a wedding planner. To say Bob and his team go above and beyond for you is an understatement. After the wedding, I said to my wife that I don’t know how anyone puts on a wedding without Bob. But it isn’t just Bob, his entire team, led by Rosemary, is incredible and was unbelievably attentive. On the wedding day, we were thrown a curve ball when it rained right before the ceremony. Bob and his team jumped into action and in a matter of minutes, seamlessly moved chairs and set up an entire wedding aisle with chairs to the tented location and it was beautiful. My wife also had bridal attendants who were there for her every need – from keeping the coffee flowing in the bridal suite to helping bustle the gown after the ceremony to never letting our cocktail glasses go empty throughout the whole night. Their attention to detail was phenomenal. Bob and his team genuinely care and put in the effort to give you the day of your dreams and they are all very kind and patient. Our signature drinks, which are part of the package, were somewhat unique, but the bartenders got it done and our guests loved them. The food is in abundance, and we got rave reviews from our guests about it. Guests loved the dumplings at the cocktail hour; and raved about the filet at dinner. If that Filet was available on Door Dash, I’d be ordering it once a week. The Makers Mark bread pudding dessert was also a hit and is out of this world. My mother never met anything she couldn’t complain about, and she could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was from top to bottom and how good the food was, which in and of itself is a far better seal of approval than any 5-star rating. I cannot believe how lucky we were to find MB&YC and Bob and his team. In retrospect, I highly doubt any other place and team could have given us what we deem “the best day of our lives” like we received at MB&YC.

y & reception, including this comment about the food, "The food . . . there really are no words to describe the food experience of this wedding." As the mother of the bride, I had very set ideas about what I did and did not want and what specifically I wanted to see happen. Bob, the director of events, was the perfect balance between being receptive and indulgent to everything me and my daughter requested, while at the same time, guiding and advising us based on his experience and in depth understanding of guest behavior and expectations. On the day of the wedding, there was not one thing I could think of that Bob had not already taken care of. I truly did feel like a guest at my own wedding, because there was nothing I needed to worry about. I went over to a table to check on a guest who had a specially prepared meal, when I got to her chair, Bob appeared at the exact same time to check on her as well. The view, the staff, the food, the ambiance, and of course, the event director, each a fabulous individual component. Combine them all and the result is, without question, a perfect wedding.

we knew that we were in good hands. We booked almost exactly a year prior to the event and the entire way Bob and his team were exceptional at helping us plan our wedding. Any and all of our questions were answered quickly. Bob and his team were flexible through the process, especially the week of the wedding when we had several unexpected last minute no’s due to Covid. Not only are Bob, Rosemarie and his team exceptional to work with, the venue and grounds are beautiful! The view of the sound made for a great back drop for photos. I was also able to arrive early the morning of the wedding to start hair and makeup which was a huge plus and stress relief. Our guests raved about the food and drink and many complemented us that it was the best wedding they had been to. We are grateful to Bob and his team for making our wedding the most magical experience possible. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

met Bob, he was transparent, professional, and knowledgeable about all things wedding. It was a no brainer to book our wedding here. Bob was responsive, kind, and patient with all of our questions. When it came time for our tasting, we could barely drive home because of how full we were. When we asked Bob if this was the serving size, we were FLOORED to hear that the tasting plates were the same that they gave guests on the wedding day. The cocktail hour food was superb, people even asked us if that was dinner. Bob’s right hand Rosemary was also extremely helpful and on top of every detail. She had the foresight to think of things before we even thought of them. I could go on and on, but it is worth it for MBYC and the staff. They deserve all the praise. If you’re looking to feel 0 stress on your wedding day, look no further, MBYC is your place.

and stunning ballroom view to the really, really delicious food and, perhaps, most importantly the fantastic staff -- especially Bob McSweeney who is the model of professionalism and a dream to work with -- we were overjoyed with our experience. You will be in truly wonderful hands with Bob, and you will have a fantastic wedding!

ning with gorgeous views of the Long Island Sound. The chef offers extensive menu options and everything we tasted was delicious! We had a medical incident during our wedding, and the staff worked swiftly connecting with EMS and ensuring everything went smoothly. I highly recommend MBYC to anyone looking to have a spectacular wedding. Our guests are still commenting on how beautiful and organized everything was!

numerous compliments from our guests on how beautiful the waterfront venue was, the impeccable service and how much they enjoyed the food. Bob, the Event Director at MBYC was a joy to work with from our first meeting a year prior to the actual event. He was always professional and very responsive. During the reception the MBYC staff was everywhere from the valet parking to serving food, ensuring guests had drinks, discreetly busing dishes, etc. The bride had her own dedicated attendant for the evening and she was indispensable - she assisted with the bride's hair and dress and made sure the bride had food to eat. The MBYC staff mad the reception and evening the bride an groom an amazing experience they will never forget.

ht Club. I am still dreaming about how magical the evening turned out to be! We booked the venue a year ago after falling in love with both the place and Bob McSweeney who is the Director of Events. The venue sits nestled on the Long Island Sound. The water views are expansive and gorgeous. The ceremony took place on a tented deck right next to the ballroom with sweeping views of the Sound. The cocktail hour also overlooked the water, but on the other side of the ballroom. The ballroom where the reception followed, has wall to wall and seemingly ceiling to floor windows, which also provided the most amazing views. In addition to the setting being so special, Bob and his team run a first-class operation. My guests have not stopped calling me a week later to tell me just how amazing the food was, how gorgeous the place was, and how efficient and courteous the staff was. They really are the most wonderful group of people. Many people have told me that it was the most beautiful wedding that they have ever been to (I may not be objective, but I agree). It is very important to have a person that you trust to run your wedding and Bob was always there for us to resolve any issue or answer any question. He helped us with every decision along the way. Bob and his staff gave my daughter and my new son-in-law the most perfect wedding and did not miss any detail of how we wanted the night to proceed. I can recommend MBYC without any hesitation. From the ceremony to the sparkler send off it was truly a fairytale. If they have your date available, grab it and you will never look back!

the Club overlooking the Sound and it was gorgeous. The outdoor cocktail hour was perfect! Water-view sunset, great food and friends…what more could you ask for? Our guests are still commenting about how good the passed hors d'oeuvres and specialty stations were. The reception was held inside the club which was tastefully decorated and had plenty of room for our guests at their tables, cocktail bar and dance floor. We really enjoyed the bonfire and smores on the beach after dinner….WOW!! James, Bob and the MBYC team really came through!! They led us through the process of planning a wedding. Like most events, we had a bunch of “special” requests. Seriously…they didn’t say “no” to a single request and they literally came through on all counts. The event timing, food and execution went very smoothly from start to finish. All of our guests had a great time. I hope everyone can enjoy this beautiful venue on their special day.

andemic and the club's management couldn't have made our planning and postponement any easier. Every time we met with the director of events, Bob McSweeney, he always kept our minds at ease that the wedding was going to be everything that we wanted. The whole team at MBYC went out of their way to meet our every need and were on top of everything. From the beautiful ceremony under the gazebo, to the cocktail hour on the deck with the water views surrounding us, to the reception with a panoramic view of the Long Island sound and it's gorgeous sunsets, every part of our wedding was magic. We could not have asked for a more perfect venue. Our friends and family who have attended are still talking about how wonderful the food, service, and ambiance was that evening. My family and I cannot recommend this venue enough. It was everything we imagined and more!

ing. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend recommend Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club.

ng we needed leading up to the big day. The banquet manager ensured that everything we had planned was executed to a tee. The food was delicious and very plentiful. We had a cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres and stations, a sit down dinner (club house salad and choice of filet/seabass), and wedding cake in addition to the chef's selection and ice-cream bar. Everything was amazing! Our guests loved everything! Not only was the room gorgeous but the outside grounds are so well kept and make for a truly beautiful backdrop anywhere you are. We were able to utilize the bridal suite as well which was a huge plus! If you are looking for the perfect venue look no further! MBYC created the perfect day for us from start to finish!

e to help (that's an understatement) us along the way, AND on the day of our wedding. He coordinated everything between making sure all of our vendors were communicating about logistics and timing, he welcomed my husband and I to the club as many times as we needed to look around for our own planning and to sit down with him to ask and answer questions about our day. Now for the actual weekend... we hosted our rehearsal dinner at the octagon restaurant down by the beach. It was beautiful, and despite the servers having to run back and forth to the venue, it was seamless. Food was delicious. The bar was set up down there for us which was awesome! For our wedding day, Bob was there from start to finish. From 8 am, setting up for my hair/makeup artists all the way to the end of the night. I had 2 amazing bridal assistants the entire morning/afternoon (keeping our champagne full, helping set up last minute odds and ends in the reception area, even walking me down the stairs holding my dress before I walked down the aisle!) Bob was there to check on us, (in the most helpful and least invasive way possible), make sure we had drinks, alert us to the next event of the night, and was making the entire night flow the way it was supposed to. We even had an after party bonfire with smores on the beach and that was phenomenal as well! Besides the obvious compliments on the fun dancing, the gorgeous views, and the food being DELICIOUS (actually that's not even normal at weddings!), myself and my family have gotten numerous compliments on the flow of the evening. It really was spectacular how well run the entire day and evening were.

and courteous to me and all of my guests! I had my ceremony and cocktail hour outside and reception inside and everything was perfect!

no response. Three emails later and still nothing. We were actually interested in booked, but their staff doesn't seem to care. Why should giving a venue my money be so difficult? If they are this unprofessional now, imagine how bad it will be during your big day. Don't waste your time.

st a year before the event and absolutely loved the venue and Mary, the Director of Special Events. About 6 months before our wedding we were informed that Mary had left and another woman, Lueann, would be taking over. I was optimistic at first but Lueann proved to be completely incompetent and made the entire planning experience an absolute nightmare. Lueann was unresponsive to emails or calls during the entire process and was in way over her head leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Some of the issues we experienced at our wedding are: 1. Lueann was barely around when we were getting ready and taking photos. She couldn't be found at the time we had agreed to do a rehearsal. She was supposed to be helping organize things and I ended up having to tell people where to stand and what to do. Also, all of the chairs outside were dirty and the floor was wet and we had to ask her twice to clean everything. 2. Our band was unable to reach Lueann the week before our wedding to go over timeline and had to call us to get involved. 3. At cocktail hour the dining room wasn't open yet and people were still eating from the cocktail hour stations when they started rolling the stations away through the groups of people. I had to stop the waiters and ask them to leave the food until the dining room was open. A guests came up to me and commented that I did the right thing by stopping them, which means the guests noticed... 4. At the beginning of the reception we were waiting for about 10 minutes at the side door to the dining room to do our entrance and couldn't find Lueann. She was supposed to signal the band and we just kept waiting for her until somebody could find her. 5. We had a jewish wedding and the horrah started and nobody brought proper chairs for us to use, even though Lueann was well aware that we were doing a horrah. We ended up using the chiavari chairs from one of the tables and both almost fell off because the chair cushions came untied and started to slip. 6. Lueann didn't signal anybody before they were supposed to speak so they knew to be prepared. Lueann was supposed to work all of that out with our band but the band was unable to reach her before the wedding to solidify timeline. 7. The waiters and waitresses started clearing salad plates while my husband and his mother were doing their first dance. It was very distracting and took away from the moment. This also happened with entrees while everyone was seated and the best man was speaking. 8. The band announced that we were doing the cake cutting and nobody was there to bring the cake to the dance floor so my husband and I had to start wheeling it out. Finally somebody found Lueann when we were halfway to the dance floor. 9. There were no bathroom attendants even though that was part of our contract. 10. By the end of the night they ran out of champagne, bourbon, and mezcal at both bars. Overall, the event was disorganized and Lueann wasn't doing her job of ensuring that things were running smoothly and happening properly. We had a very big 250 person wedding and the guests had a great time but I do think some of the issues caused by the disorganization were noticed. They also caused me a lot of unnecessary stress both before and on my wedding day.

mallest of details leading up to the day, to Sheldon knocking it out of the park on the night in terms of timings, to the chef cooking every single person's entree to perfection, the service was exceptional from the Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club. We were very specific about our venue choice- we wanted a room where all our guests could see the dance floor, ridiculous amounts of good food that made people never want to leave cocktail hour, service staff that never left the guests wanting more and a romantic/elegant ambience that would be magical. The Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club delivered on each f these points- when the curtain opened to show the reception room, guests were absolutely taken aback by the twinkling beauty of candlelight on the tables and the windows, with the LI sound in the background fading into night. The Jay Prince Band rocked the house all night and the sound in the room was awesome for a 12 band. No one complained the band was too loud. In fact, no one complained about anything the entire night! My husband and I were determined to enjoy our wedding- Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club made this easily happen! If you want the wedding of your dreams, book this venue. It was a honor to have our wedding there and I can't thank them enough.

bat mostly for it's grounds, the picturesque setting, and outdoor ceremony. My wife also required a white tent, which they just happened to have. That said, what we didn't expect was the level of customer service, how amazing the food would eventually turn out, and how beautiful the reception area would look. We had 160 guests and we have heard nothing but praise at how our wedding was organized, the setting, and the overall atmosphere MBAYC brought to the table. Before the ceremony, we were able to use the entirety of the grounds for pictures, which really provided a beautiful backdrop to begin with. The outdoor ceremony under the Gazebo was beautiful. The area was the perfect size for our number of guests. The passed hor d'oeuvres on the fantastic patio area w/tent overlooking the water were a huge hit. MBYAC gives you a huge selection for this portion that can appease a wide range of palettes. The reception area is a nice size room with wall to wall windows. The large dance floor was a great for my guests especially since my guests love to get up and dance. We chose to do the buffet style dinner option instead of the traditional sit-down. By having this option, we could leave it up to our guests to do what they wanted. In addition, MBAYC is full service meaning that the only outside vendors you really have to bring are the florist, photo/video and your entertainment. They have a full book of vendors if you’re not familiar with the area. This was key for us because we were going to be the key contributors to all the details of the wedding. By limiting the number of vendors we had to speak to really helped us manage our time and gave us peace of mind especially since we have a 20 mo old daughter. To that point, the team at MBYAC is top notch. You can tell Mary, Sheldon, and Lueann have been servicing clients for years. Chef Benjamin Jimenez's menu selection gives a little something for everyone. The only problem you might have is that you will want everything from it. He’s been there for years for a reason. Admittedly, we came in multiple times to test our menu due to changes, but they were happy to accommodate. In addition, the bar is fully equipped and we especially liked that you can create a special drink that your guests can choose from created by the bride and groom. Mary (Director), although new to the team, was brought on for good reason. Her experience is evident in the way she responds and guides you through the process. We were a little caught off guard when we found Mary would be taking over, but she silenced any doubts we had with her confidence in her abilities. Sheldon and Lueann have been there for years and you can tell by the way they know each and every detail of the grounds, the flow, and the way things should be set up. They aren’t afraid to tell you what will and won’t work. It may seem like a small team, but they deliver in every way. Really impressive given that they deal with so many weddings/special events! The ONLY thing missing really from MBAYC is an area for the groom to get ready in. The tower for the bride though is huge and great for her and her bridal party, which is usually very important. At the end of the day, MBAYC checks most boxes and I highly doubt you’d go wrong with choosing this as your venue.

te was a great place to get ready! We loved how MBYC let us drop off our stuff the day before (to get it organized) and rehearse the night before our big day in the ceremony space!Everyone enjoyed the food and loved how we did our cake cutting in the center of the dance floor. If you're looking for a venue with beautiful views, organized staff and a spacious dancefloor, MBYC is your venue :)

anning is stressful, but the staff at MBYC was so accommodating, supportive and friendly that it really helped us remain calm and confident throughout the planning process and the entire wedding day. We knew we were in good hands! We are forever grateful for Mary, Sheldon, LueAnn and the entire staff at MBYC. We really can't express our gratitude enough and wish we could do it all over again. It was such a pleasure working with them.

. We both wanted to get married on the water and even thought of a destination wedding but didn't want to travel. MBYC gave us the feeling of being at a destination while close to home. We absolutely loved the outdoor tent on the deck where we had the ceremony and it came out so beautifully in pictures. We had the most amazing weather and pictures on the docks and gardens were spectacular. The staff at MBYC was absolutely the best part. They were amazing, professional and really cared about what we wanted. Mary is a true pro and knows the business. She has tons of connections and can help you to plan your wedding down to every detail. Sheldon was incredible. His execution was flawless and all with a calming and humorous demeaner. I really enjoyed working with him and felt I was in great hands. Lueen was a great support as well during the planning process. I would not have changed a thing and can't remember a single thing going wrong. The food was so amazing, many of our guests commented on how rare it is to get amazing food at a wedding venue, truly unique! We danced the night away and it was incredibly magical. If you are even thinking about having your wedding there, you should not hesitate. It's everything you ever dreamed of and more!

problems at all, due to Mary and Sheldon planning everything out perfectly months before hand. They made our lives so much easier than expected and walked us through the entire process. Any questions or concerns we had were answered the same day. They truly went above and beyond for everything. People raved about the views, the food at cocktail hour, dinner and the level of service by all the staff. We decided to have the after hours party on the beach at the venue. Everyone loved the atmosphere, cocktails on the beach and S'mores by the bonfire. Friends & Family might tell you how much they loved this or liked that about the venue but we received so many complements about everything that it was overwhelming. My new Wife & I could not have picked a better place to get married.

of amazing. She was patient, helpful, calming and helped ease all my worries from day one. I worried so much the entire time that I should have gotten a wedding planner but quite honestly, Mary acted in such a capacity that I didn't need one. She is a kind, attentive person and is an EXPERT in what she does. Any bride would be lucky to have their wedding here and have her guide you. I absolutely adore her and am grateful for her - I don't know what I would have done without her. Luanne was another helping person whom I must give thanks to. She was always available, helpful and organized. Sheldon, the maitre'd pulled off a flawless operation. My ceremony was supposed to be outside and the weather was touch and go. The staff was able to transform the reception space so quickly into from the ceremony space that you would have never known the event was in the same place. I felt confident since the moment I met him that my wedding would be flawless. He accommodated my brothers food allergies and pulled off some last minute changes that I had. My guests have told me that this was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. The food was amazing, the staff was fantastic and we had such a beautiful day. If you are wondering where you have your wedding, believe me, you will not be disappointed if you have it here. I felt confident since day one simply because of their fantastic staff. The venue itself is beautiful but it was the perfect combination of location and the wonderful staff that they have that made our day fantastic. My husband Matt and I and our families thank you all so very much for everything you have done to make our day so very special.

ful setting for a wedding anywhere - natural elements were incredibly important to my husband and me, and we struggled to find a venue that had both natural beauty and a legitimate back-up option if we had bad weather. But we found it at MBYC! The club has all of the elements that we wanted - beach, expansive views, rustic stone, and also an elegant indoor space for eating and dancing. We were blessed with a beautiful day, but I am convinced that the venue would still have been beautiful even if we couldn't be outside. What is perhaps the best thing about MBYC is the extent to which they help you customize your wedding - at many of the vendors we interviewed, we couldn't help but feel that we were getting a cookie-cutter experience. When we wanted to blanket the ceiling in lanterns? No problem. When we wanted to customize our menu? No problem. When we wanted to add some photos that weren't on the original list even though we were short on time? No problem. Both Irene and Sheldon gave 200% of themselves to make sure that our day was everything we dreamed of. The only reason that I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there were a few details that I didn't feel got the attention I would have liked. For example, I had to follow up several times to see if they got the beer that we wanted (they eventually did) and our wedding cake wasn't even put on a plate but was put out on part of the cardboard box that it came in. It sounds silly, but our cake-cutting pictures don't look very nice as a result. Part of the wonderful experience I had is that the staff is small and really got to know me and my husband, but there were several times that I felt I had to be pushy to get what I wanted because the team was so small. I have to say though, even when I was pushy, the staff was INCREDIBLY kind, understanding, responsive, and accommodating. I felt that the staff (Irene and Sheldon in particular) really cared about my experience and went out of their way to make sure that we were happy. We had several meetings with Irene and Sheldon over the course of the year before my wedding, and each time they really took the time to find out what was important to me. They also had great relationships with my vendors which made the coordination of logistics incredibly easy from my end. They also provided me with a WONDERFUL bridal attendant on the day itself - Monique was just wonderful to have with me throughout the day. I would confidently recommend this venue to anyone. It is one of the most spectacularly beautiful places I have seen, and the staff did everything they could do to make sure that every element of the wedding was special.

great job and the event was a huge success- both the ceremony and the reception were elegantly carried out and many guests commented on how flawless the party seemed. The food was excellent and Sheldon's expertise and suggestions were essential in the success of the whole night. We were very happy with the service and professionalism of this venue!

de sure that everything went smoothly. The place itself is gorgeous, and our guests couldn't get over it! The weather was good enough for us to have the ceremony in the open-air Rose Garden, with cocktail hour on the tented side. Sheldon and Irene had told us that it feels cooler on the water and that, by mid-afternoon, the rose garden is shaded, and they were completely right! It was very enjoyable for our guests to be outside and we got to enjoy the stunning backdrop and views of the water. The ballroom looked beautiful as it got dark during our reception. This was such a great place to have our wedding, and we couldn't be happier! I would definitely recommend MBYC. Just a short drive from NYC! Thanks for making our wedding the best day!

and reception. Irene the Event Director was fabulous to work with, and she has such an eye for detail. She suggested some fantastic ideas for my special day, that I would never have thought of. And Lueann on the events team was amazing, so sweet, and so accommodating. And the Food was INCREDIBLE - even our foodie friends say it was the best they have ever had at a wedding. All in all a perfect venue. We would highly recommend!!

ve and wonderful the staff at Mbyc is on my wedding day my veil flew off into the ocean during pictures , a boater was able to fetch it out for me but I was so upset because I wanted to wear it for my first dance etc. when it was scooped from the ocean it was in a ball soaking wet, my assigned bridal attendant soaked it in seltzer water then blew dry it for me it looked as good as new and I got to wear it for all my dances. Sheldon did such a great job making sure nothing got missed and our day ran smoothly from beginning to end . Our guests are still raving about the food and our pictures came gorgeous with the amazing views , I highly recommend MBYC for your wedding , it is the perfect venue .

and relaxed, how the staff was the most kind, and about how the wedding was so memorable because of the place, and we got married over a year ago! I can't say enough good things about how accommodating the entire staff was - Irene and Sheldon you were our saviors! For being the first Indian wedding at this venue, there were a lot of 'new' things we were asking for, and they accommodated everything with open arms and excitement. We can't wait to come back!
