Pelham Bay & Split Rock Golf Courses

swering all of my questions and meeting with me on numerous occasions to discuss details. He was also great at being available for our vendor for music to go over logistics for electric/ speakers, etc. My husband and I got married on May 28th, 2022, with a brunch daytime wedding. We had planned to have our ceremony by Split Rock’s beautiful gazebo. However, due to an impending thunderstorm, we moved our ceremony indoors in the tent. (Our gameplan was set in stone from the previous day for the weather, and it was great to feel like there was the Plan A and Plan B with the timings). Honestly- with the photos, it looked just as beautiful, if not more beautiful with the florals inside the pavilion. The beautiful clear siding of the pavilion gave us an indoor/outdoor feel, so we enjoyed the view of the nature, but were able to stay safe and cool in the air conditioning inside. In fact, I think the ceremony felt even more intimate, unique, and special this way given the way our guests were seated. My husband and I were in awe at how everything looked even better than we anticipated with the décor. Al, our event coordinator was so meticulous and was great at keeping on top of the schedule, while also being flexible with my or my husband’s “go ahead” for changes. As a very anxious person in general, Al really made me feel at complete ease during the day. I wasn’t worried about a thing. He was like a ninja,- I mean that in the best sense- he was making everything happen flawlessly in the background, so that my husband and I could just ENJOY the day. Kristen and Mariah were my bridal attendants, and they were the absolute BEST. They made me feel so comfortable, and were so good at anticipating my needs. Most of all, I felt that they genuinely cared that I was having the best time… My husband and I are just so happy in choosing this place as our venue!

do the place justice. The fact that it is situated within a golf course creates a truly magical effect; once the sun went down, our wedding reception became a bright beacon of light and music amidst a gorgeous, dark expanse. We were permitted to use the grass, which meant that the kids at the reception had plenty of room to run around, and anyone who needed a quiet moment away could take a short walk and do so. The venue provided fire pits and s'mores on the grass as well, which were a wonderful, special touch. From start to finish, John and the team were wonderful to work with. They were flexible, responsive, and answered all our questions. The food was delicious! And the space was extremely versatile... we wanted our reception to be entirely outdoors due to covid, which we were able to do. BUT we also had access to a gorgeous indoor space for guests who needed a break from the summer heat. And if the weather had been bad, we would have had the option to move indoors if needed, which gave us great peace of mind throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Our night was unforgettable.

my husband and I started looking for venues for our baby shower it was a no brainer, we just knew we had to have it here! John, the event manager, was helpful from the very start. Always responsive, detailed and made all our requests a possibility. As if things couldn’t get any better, the crew supporting the event the day of were spectacular. They kept us on schedule while being flexible and soooo accommodating. Many of our guests couldn’t believe this hidden gem existed in the Bronx.

. Thanks you so much for everything.. have a great day!! Thanks John Braca

hat your event is what you need it to be. From walk through, communication, transactions to set up and complete execution. The staff as a whole worked to make sure that each point was as smooth as possible. I appreciate that there was staff at every turn was readily available and willing to assist with any request. The venue is beautiful and enough space to fit a big party comfortably. Thank you for making this event memorable!

ngly recommend this place. Take care Donna

I decided to have this event in October of 2021, which only gave 8 months to book a venue and make all the preparations. Split Rock was the only location I contacted that met every criteria: location, accessibility, privacy of the event, price, offerings. From the very start of the process- John- the event director was amazing to work with- accessible, flexible and accommodating. He made the process super quick and easy. O the day of, Al and his team were incredible. Al, has a very calming and reassuring demeanor which made me feel at ease. Mother nature threw a wrench in some of the plans; however, they were still able to accomodate me. The staff were all friendly and efficient. All of my guests loved the venue and were raving about the food, service and attention to detail; one of my friends was so impressed that she is planning on holding her 50th birthday at the venue. I absolutely loved everything about my event and I'm looking forward to holding future events at this location.

.

at ease about every aspect of the planning process. Pelham Bay was accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. During set up we were able to meet Al and he was also extremely helpful and so nice! The food was also delicious, many guests made comments on what a great variety they offered. Hands down best venue for a beautiful shower. I wish I could share pictures in this review.

e of us even knowing that we gave very little time for planning ( literally less than 2 months). At first we had 50 guest and very quickly that escalated to 160 guests, she kept accommodating us in every way possible to make this the best day of our lives. They made us feel like they were part of the wedding. We met Albert and he was as pleasurable, always with a smile helping through the process and never said no. :) The day of the wedding Kristen, the bride assistant, was attentive of every detail of my needs, and still had time to handle the details of everyone else. The venue was beautiful and perfect to accommodate all our guests, they left with a great impression and a home feeling. Will recommend Pelham Split Rock & Golf Courses with our eyes shut.

party so perfect and memorable !

t starting to turn. Everyone who worked with us was very helpful at every step of the way, a big thanks to John Braca for providing all the info we needed and being flexible. The catering and food was amazing- Al did a great job of coordinating. We also worked with a wonderful bakery they recommended that made us the perfect cake. Can't recommend highly enough.

There is a large well-maintained parking area. We fell in love with the white tent for the reception and the stone walkway that leads to the gazebo for the ceremony. We met with Jessica and she took the time to break down the wedding packages. We ultimately chose the all-inclusive. In the months to come, Jessica was always available and answered our many questions. She gave honest advice based on what we were looking for. Throughout the entire process, Jessica was very responsive and attentive, making it easy to work with her to execute our vision. She definitely was a significant influence on making us feel not as overwhelmed as we would have been. For our rehearsal, Al orchestrated the line up and gave us a detailed guide of what to expect the next day. On the day of the wedding, everything went so smooth. Al made sure to check in with us every chance he could. He was essential in making sure that each part of the day on the itinerary ran perfectly and on time. He was also attentive to one of our guests with a food allergy and guaranteed that her meals were properly handled. Kristin, our bridal attendant, was the best. She always made sure we had a drink in hand and food throughout the night. She was genuinely caring in accommodating to anything we needed. She even took us to a beautiful area on the location so our photographers could take sunset pictures of us. She was even supportive with the groom as he frantically glued back one of our cake topper figurines had he broken. We felt like we were in good hands. The bartender certainly gave our guests top quality drinks. Everyone left the bar with a big smile on their face! The wait staff was courteous and professional. We loved the variety of food choices. The San Juan station with the pernil was a big hit. The Asian station , dumplings and lo mein was great. The carving station was savory. For dinner, the three-course meal was splendid. It was all DELICIOUS. Everyone said that the Cheese Tortellini is a must. We got our wedding cake through Contis Bakery, the taste was to die for and it was more than enough to feed all of our guests. The S'mores and the bonfire was a great touch for our November Fall wedding. We finished off the night perfectly with the beautifully decorated multi-flavored donut wall. That's right, donut wall. Mmm. Pelham Split Rock and Golf Courses gave us exactly what we always wanted, a perfect wedding. Cristy Reynoso and Juan Ramirez

wanted by my husband and I. My attendant was ON POINT! The staff makes sure everyone is having a great time and catered too! beautiful !!!

ive and straightforward. We are so fortunate to have found Pelham Bay and John. I did not have a vision in mind, but my fiancé did, he wanted more of a non-traditional reception with our favorite rock bank performing. John and Pelham Bay were more than accommodating, almost making it too easy. The planning, the food choices everything was just so easy and perfect. John is a pro and it definitely shows. The day of the wedding, October 5, 2019 everything was absolutely perfect . The lay out and table arrangements were exactly like we wanted and all of our “quirky” touches were added. The food was delish!! Still people are raving about it, the servers and bartenders were very attentive. Not one guess was in need of anything because food and drink was always being offered. Our Bridal attendant Sarah was just wonderful, she was very helpful and would remind me to breath as I am a tad high strung! I am so grateful for John and the staff at Pelham Bay & Split Rock and coud not recommend them enough! Almost wish we could do it all over again we had so much fun! Thanks for your help, service and enthusiasm in making our day so special.

st conversation he worked with us to build out a package that matched our budget and our slightly-smaller-than-minimum guest count. We weren't super fussy with a lot of our details, but all the same we got the sense that John would be patient and there for us to work out whatever we wanted to do. Even when we got into the eleventh hour and had some last minute complications on our side, he worked with us to make sure that everything went smoothly. As for the event staff, Al our maître d' and Kristen our bridal suite attendant were both on point. I personally was a bit of an anxious wreck in the lead-up to the wedding, but it was apparent right away that both of them had the whole evening under control. It meant my wife and I could truly relax and enjoy our evening more than we thought possible. Kristen was phenomenal, she anticipated all of our needs (sometimes before we even knew we'd need them!). She always made sure we had food and drinks, were in the right place, and that all of our things were organized. Al was so brilliant that I honestly barely even noticed him in an extremely good way. All of our food was out hot and right on time, the service ran effortlessly, and our night ended up being absolutely perfect. As far as the venue itself, the location is absolutely gorgeous. The views from the tent are great, and the central outdoor space makes a great transition from cocktail hour to reception when the weather's nice. Don't be afraid to work with the outdoor space when planning your event. The s'mores station was a big hit the outdoor fire pits and outdoor dance floor meant we could transition back outside at the end of the night. Everything was absolutely perfect. In terms of recommendations, we liked how little decoration it took to make the space look great. We rented some outdoor lounge furniture to spruce up the outdoor space, and that added a lot. We also would recommend bringing some extra uplighting for the tent. The lighting is even and adequate, but some fancier pops of color would've been nice (our DJ warned us but we didn't listen). The food was excellent and plentiful. The cocktail hour stations were delicious and our package came with enough food between them and the passed hors d'oeuvres that some of our guests thought that was the entire meal! The courses were stunning as well, and the dessert stations ended up being real hits. The s'mores station was a popular hang out spot at the end of the evening, the milk and cookies went over very well with our younger guests, and the donut wall ended up in a lot of our guests's photos that night. Honestly we could not have asked for a prettier venue, better food, or a more organized team. Our evening was absolutely perfect and we were able to truly enjoy it thanks to these talented folks. We'll definitely be keeping them in mind if we need another event in the area, and we highly recommend you check them out as well.

edding coordinator/ manager was extremely seasoned and attentive, which made planning easy!!! Thank to John for making our day wonderful! The food, decor and service was impeccable! I HIGHLY recommend this place to make your day come true!! Also, the day of coordinator was super great and attentive... thank you Sarah!!! We had the best time!!!

is John, what an angel! We booked almost a yr in advance, so the amount of questions, comments and concerns that I had leading up to the wedding would had driven ppl off the wall. John was 100% always responsive and attentive. The day of the wedding he was my hype man! He kept everything in order leading up to the wedding and I had 0 stress! Next is Al, he help us for our rehearsal because we didn’t know what we were doing! He took the time to guide each of us through rehearsal and the day of the wedding he made sure communication between him and the rest of the vendors was crystal clear! We were running a little behind schedule but he made sure transitions from ceremony to cocktail, pictures, reception and entertainment was seamless. And lastly Kristin! Ugh! Loveeddd heeerrr!! She was all about me as soon as I got to the venue, she walked around with my veil and holding my train for pictures and she was stressing my bustle more than I was. She made sure I was eating and drinking and enjoying myself the whole night. I wish I could relive my wedding day it was an amazing experience and this venue and the people in it will make sure you have the time of your lifeee!!! We chose outdoor dance floor and dining and everyone loved how it was different. THE FOOOODDD... amazing! My guest loved the second course which was penne a la vodka! Then we had choice of steak, salmon or chicken! I heard no complaints! Cocktail hour we had so many choices! Trust me, you will fall in love with the venue! We sure did, we wish we can turn back time and do it all over again!

z, truly made my planning less complicated. She was a professional, knowledgeable, she made dance practices possible, she was flexible with time and flexible with payments. I am extremely grateful for her help. Once August 3, 2019 arrived, I was overjoyed as to how beautiful the room looked, the guests were complimenting the staff as to professionalism, attentiveness during the whole event. The food was delicious, the Open Bar was amazing. The night was magical for my baby girl and also for family and friends. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you with all our hearts Jessica and the service staff. You all rock the BEST. Mercy & Family.

ending to our every need on that evening.

an absolute pleasure to work with they went the extra mile to take care of every detail to make the evening extra special. Our guests are still calling us to tell us what a wonderful time they had and how much they enjoyed themselves. Our daughter truly felt like a Princess and is still floating around on Cloud 9 feel extremely grateful to have the memories that will last a lifetime. I look forward to the opportunity to return to Split Rock/Pelham Bay and would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering hosting a very special event.
