We had our wedding here in mid-October and it was perfect. If you are like me, you may be looking at venue after venue, debating which one is the best choice. I would highly sugges...t choosing Nissequogue and I am so glad I did.
Barry, the manager, is absolutely amazing and was so incredibly helpful each step of the way. He provided guidance on food, tablecloths, seating, and more, and was always willing to answer questions and help out. It is worth booking here for him alone.
As for the venue, it is beautiful, especially in the fall, with a long winding road all the way up to the main entrance of the clubhouse. We were also able to take golf carts down to a bridge near the water and take pictures. The view from the ceremony was amazing, with the golf course and Stony Brook Harbor in the background.
The food was top-notch. Barry explained that they use the same chef as they do for the clubhouse as well as the same pieces of meat, meaning the filet mignon was not your average cut. The food was great for a restaurant (not for a wedding) and would blow away any other food from other venues, especially those that have many weddings each weekend (or each day).
The other important thing was that we felt the day belonged to us. They do not do many weddings so the space is intimate and private and there is a lot of attention to detail.
Also, we had a private bridal attendant during the wedding, who was amazing as well.
Lastly, the price was very reasonable. This is really a hidden gem!
If I had to choose a venue all over again I would choose Nissequogue each time.
