A Dream Team for Our Wedding Day – Patricia and Diego are INCREDIBLE! We would not have wanted anyone else to help us through this process.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Patricia and Diego! From the moment we started working with them, their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth stood out. We booked and planned this wedding in 5 months, and they made the process as smooth as possible. They went above and beyond to make our wedding was not only beautiful but also completely stress-free.
Patricia has an incredible ability to anticipate every need. Whether it was helping us finalize last-minute details or providing creative solutions for unique challenges, she always had everything under control. Her calm demeanor made us feel so at ease throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself.
Diego was exceptionally phenomenal. His energy, efficiency, and helpfulness were unbeatable. Diego made sure no detail was overlooked. EVERYONE NEEDS a Diego on there wedding day.
Together, Patricia and Diego make the perfect team and Soundview is the most perfect venue. They brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined, creating memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a wedding vendor who truly cares about your day and will work tirelessly to make it perfect, look no further. They’re simply the best!
Also special shout out to the bartenders and our bridal attendant Aida who made me feel comfortable when I was so nervous and fixed my bustle so many times!!
Thank you, Patricia and Diego and the whole Soundview team for making our wedding an unforgettable experience!
So grateful for you!

I got married at Soundview Caterers on 10/18/24. The day was absolutely perfect! Everything I could need was taken care of. Everything was beautiful. We had a small wedding and wanted to change the way the reception room was set up and it was not a problem at all! All of the staff was incredible, especially Diego and Taryn. Chef Nick's food was absolutely incredible and the pastry chef made incredible desserts as well. I have been dreaming about the food ever since. We really could not have asked for a better venue and staff to take care of us on our special day!

Literally can’t say enough about how incredible the entire team at Soundview is! Patricia was so on top of every detail and was so quick at answering any of my questions. The whole process from booking to our wedding day was seamless. Diego and Meghan treated us and our family like royalty! They were attentive and made sure our entire day was exactly how we envisioned. All my guest raved about the venue and its amazing views of the sound and had nothing but good things to say about the delicious food. So many options to choose from for cocktail hour and all the entrees were delicious it was hard to just choose one! I highly recommend Soundview !!

My husband and I had out wedding reception here on 9/14/2024 and it was everything I could have hoped for and them some! From the start Soundview was there to support me with my wedding planning, answering all of my million questions about vendors and placements of tables to food. I have important family members that have gluten allergies and they went above and beyond to provide food for them, purchasing rolls and cupcakes so they could still enjoy the wedding like everyone else.
The staff at Soundview are the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever met. They made my wedding feel seamless and took care of all of the details I threw at them, I had a few of little decorations I wanted set up for the wedding. They took care of it all. Diego was phenomenal, keeping in contact and assuring me everything was perfect. My bridal attendant, Taryn, was the sweetest! She was a big part of making sure I had the best wedding! They even had to emergency re-bustle my dress towards the middle of the night. It took no time at all and shows how prepared for every scenario the staff at Soundview are!
Lastly, the food! All the reviews here say it but I will add, the food was incredible! The cocktail hour had so many options that left all of my guests happy. The entrees were just as delicious. My family members are still raving to me about the food almost two months post wedding, that is just how good it was!
I cannot thank the people at Soundview enough for all that they did to ensure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. I couldn't be happier with how the day turned out.

The team at Soundview does an amazing job at making wedding planning feel effortless! I had my wedding here on 5/31/24 and the day could not have been more perfect. We booked Soundview on the spot after having only toured 4 venues and do not regret that decision at all. Throughout the entire planning process they responded quickly to us and were helpful in so many ways. I'd love to note the personalized attention that Soundview provides as well. Both my husband and I have celiac disease and need to eat gluten free. Upon meeting with the chef and Brittany, they took extra care to make sure that we could eat safely during all stages of the day from cocktail hour to dessert! The ceremony space is absolutely beautiful and as our officiant noted multiple times, our wedding truly felt like a fairytale. I do not have enough amazing things to say about Soundview and am so beyond grateful to the entire team there for making our wedding day so special!

We had our wedding at Soundview on 5.18.24.
Soundview was the first and last venue we looked at. From the moment we walked through the door and did a tour with Brittany, we knew this is where we wanted our wedding to be.
Throughout the planning process, they were easy to get ahold of and are very obviously knowledgeable on how to run a wedding. I was feeling anxious about all of the little details until we met with Diego who was our Maitre'd for the night.
Diego...where to begin? Attentive is an understatement. He is absolutely wonderful! My husband at one point asked if they had any Redbull, and before we knew it Diego was already done ordering some on DoorDash. Diego also helped put on my veil and bustled my dress like a pro (it's like he does this all the time or something, lol) He was extremely attentive without being overbearing. We wanted an outdoor ceremony, but it was beginning to rain, Diego had a storm tracker on his phone to figure out the best start time and the staff flipped the reception room just in case we needed it to be inside... we didn't! Then they had to flip everything back and it all still looked beautiful.
Now on to Megan who was our bridal attendant. She is so sweet and was extremely helpful the entire night. I never had to ask for a thing, it was like she was a mind reader and knew what I needed before I did. My nephew was overwhelmed with the loud music, and I looked over and saw Megan comforting him and she even let him steer the golf cart!! Megan's calm demeanor kept me at ease the entire day and I really appreciate her.
The only mishap we had, which was not Soundview's fault, was our wedding cake. But before I get into that, I want to say Brittany did a great job decorating the cake with leftover flowers from the florist! It was beautiful.
The cake came from Leonettis Bakery, and it was delicious, but it was the wrong cake. In the grand scheme, it didn't really matter and none of the guests knew. But the next morning when we went to pick up our decorations we left at Soundview, we had a cake waiting for us to take home. The owner of Soundview felt horrible about our cake being wrong so he went to the bakery himself to get us the right one!
If I had to do it all again, I would pick Soundview every time. I recommend them without hesitation. A huge THANK YOU to the Soundview family for making our dream a reality.

So we had our daughters Sweet 16 back in February, and planning a big event in the winter can sometimes be challenging (with outdoor photos and all), but the Soundview came through- and then some!!!! My husband and I were married there a little over 16 years ago, so the venue was already special to us. But the new and improved Soundview made amazing memories for us and our guests! From the attention to detail, so fresh ideas they had to offer, to the amazing vendors they work with! It all comes together so you are not only stress free the day of the event, but leading up to it! Brittany and her team truly put their heart and soul into making every detail simply perfect! Their communication throughout the process is helpful and inspiring! I would love to work with them again in the future- your event would definitely be in amazing hands- you won’t want the night to end!

We got married 11/4/23 at Soundview and had such an amazing experience with Soundview. When beginning the venue search we knew we wanted a waterfront venue with an outdoor space for the ceremony and a suitable indoor option in case the weather didn't cooperate. We fell in love with the stunning indoor and outdoor views and the fact that they host one event at a time was also a MAJOR plus for us. During the wedding planning process, Brittany was easy to get in touch with, super organized, and quick to answer any questions I had.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still raving about the food and talking about how beautiful the venue was. Diego made sure everything ran smoothly, and Taryn our bridal attendant went above and beyond helping out our photographers, and made sure my husband and I had cocktails. The entire Soundview staff went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was spectacular and we can't recommend them enough.

My husband grew up in Bayville, so it was on our radar when we were searching for the right venue for us. The view is unbeatable both inside and outside of the building. They have floor to ceiling windows overlooking the LI Sound, a little private beach, and a gorgeous patio space for the ceremony. It was an absolutely gorgeous venue and everytime we had a meeting it was better than I remembered. Brittney and Diego made everything so easy for us and they were so sweet! I definitely needed a lot of help from them since I didn’t have a florist, and they did a fantastic job setting out the decor I brought. My Bridal Attendant was Ada and my Maitr D was Megan. They were so fantastic. We had custom signature drinks and they were delicious! I’m used to a lot of wedding venues watering down drinks, but Soundview definitely did not! Also the food was some of the best I’ve ever had in my life! Cocktail hour and reception food were so yummy! And we have Taco Bell as our exit station. You absolutely cannot go wrong choosing this venue, and they were easily one of the least expensive venues we toured, and you get so much for the value!

Originally, my husband and I didn’t want an outdoor ceremony (we didn’t want weather to be a factor in our plans). Once we saw the ceremony site at Soundview, that changed instantly - and we’re so glad it did! Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful, with the natural sound of soft waves and a gorgeous view of the sun setting over the Sound. The staff was nothing short of amazing. Everyone was kind, attentive, and made my husband and me feel so special on our big day. The food was also amazing. I’m still craving more of that filet mignon! The bartenders absolutely nailed our signature drinks. Planning everything was a breeze, as Brittany was always just an email away and responded in a timely manner. Diego was a rockstar maître d. Ada was the best bridal attendant I could’ve asked for! Thanks to them and the rest of the incredible staff, our wedding day was an absolute dream!

We had such an amazing time at Soundview for our wedding! We got married on September 30th, 2023 and our wedding size was 175 people. Brittany, Diego, Taryn, and the rest of the Soundview team made everything so easy for us. They were all so friendly and made us feel really special by going above and beyond for us.
The food was incredible! Our guests are still talking about the food beginning from the cocktail hour all the way through to our desserts, including our Chipwich add-on. Props to not only the Chef, but also the workers that made sure everyone received their food timely and to their liking.
The place itself was so pretty and made our day feel really romantic. It had rained the day before, as well as in the morning, and we had thought we wouldn’t be able to do our ceremony outside but the Soundview team assured us it would be no problem once the rain stopped and that is exactly what happened! Additionally. the Soundview Team carted us on golf carts down to the beach as well to capture an amazing sunset photo that magically appeared.
Seriously, the wedding was nothing short of sensational. Our wedding was truly exceptional and exceeded all expectations thanks to Soundview.
We are so thankful to have picked Soundview for our wedding venue, we will never forget our time there! Highly recommend this wedding venue, 5 out of 5 stars!

Soundview is a hidden gem that more people need to be talking about! I knew I wanted a waterfront venue and it’s hard to come by ones that allow 100 person minimums. I was afraid I’d have to settle but the second we stepped foot into Soundview we knew we had found the one. The waterfront views are absolutely stunning and the ceremony is clean, elegant and spacious. During the planning process they were organized and so responsive to any questions no matter how big or small. They have one wedding at a time which means you can drop decor off early which made everything easier and less stressful. The space can hold more people but with only 100 it didn’t feel small or empty it was absolutely perfect. They have quality and consistent staff so I was working with the same individuals the entire process and knew who I’d be spending my wedding day with as well which was a huge relief and is hard to find in this industry. I think it’s a testament to how wonderful this place is. On the day of the wedding every single person was so amazing all day! Our guests are saying the views were to die for, the food was the best they’ve had at a wedding and that all the staff was just so kind and accommodating to them! “Tastefully elegant” was used to describe the venue by multiple people and we couldn’t agree more. I sent them a quick description of how I wanted the space decorated but gave them creative freedom because they’re so talented and trustworthy. I walked into the space the day of my wedding completely blown away by how beautiful it looked; it was better than I ever would have imagined myself. The banquet manager, Maitre’d, bridal attendant, wait staff and bar tenders were all so attentive not only to us but also to our guests. If I asked for anything it had already been thought of and taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better or more perfect experience and truly hope to be invited here as guests of a wedding one day so we can experience it all again! I could go on and on about how amazing our day was but just know booking Soundview means you are in the best of hands!!

Soundview is in incredible gem in Long Island. I did extensive research on wedding venues throughout the tristate and I’m so glad my husband and I found Soundview. It was perfect for an intimate wedding (90 people). The team at Soundview really are the best! Diego, Brittany, Miné and Lisa made me and my husband feel so calm every day leading up to and on our wedding day. They were so communicative and were able to answer all our questions and was flexible with adjusting anything to our needs. The food was never ending and great too! I’ve had multiple compliments from my guests about the amount of delicious food at cocktail hour and they thoroughly enjoyed the after dinner McDonald’s station that soundview provided. The view is also amazing. We had the most perfect clear skies and amazing sunset and having the ability to go out onto the beach from the venue for sunset photos is truly once in a lifetime photo opportunity. My husband and I are so happy we chose Soundview and we can’t wait to attend a wedding there one day as a guest just so we have another chance to go back. Don’t hesitant to book Soundview! You really won’t regret it :)

The team at Soundview are very sweet. They’ll go out of their way to make sure your day goes as planned. The Maitre D Diego is so kind. He even met up with me in Queens to help bring items I needed the day of my wedding. Brittany was always very responsive to all my questions and emails. I was very pleased having my wedding there. All of my guests thought the venue was absolutely beautiful and couldn’t stop raving about the delicious food!

Soundview Caterers is THE BEST!
From the moment we talked to Brittany we knew we were in good hands. The venue is gorgeous, and the staff goes MILES above beyond to ensure everything is truly special.
Brittany was there to answer every question we had leading up to the big day. We live out of state and Brittany accommodated us when we were visiting to try the food and visit the venue. She helped out so much the day off, and even helped us get our table seating chart written, because we had an oops lol. That’s unheard of. Opened the venue early to get hair and makeup done. She crushed it!
Then, there’s Diego…there are no words to describe the amount of heart he poured into our wedding. He was EVERYWHERE! Attentive to every need, even the guests complimented how outstanding he was. The consummate professional. You can catch him doing landscaping, touch ups, getting the bird droppings off the window, and then get dolled up and be the best maitre de you could ever ask for. We love you man!
Donna, who bartended might as well be part of our family at this point. She was the best, not to mention her landscaping abilities to boot, the venue is pristine and beautiful. Taylor, our attendant was phenomenal. So kind, and even made sure to pull our photographer out for our “second sunset”. She was there every step of the way. Sandy feet and all. It’s hard to find people that care so much about what they do.
The food was abundant, and so amazing. One of our friends ate so much with the insane cocktail hour spread, because he wasn’t aware that a three course dinner was upstairs. Highest compliments to Nick the head chef and his team. He was so helpful to us make the choices to have a well rounded, most amazing food experience for us and all our friends and family. We also decided to book the rehearsal dinner at Soundview and we were not disappointed!
Also the Vendors that Soundview provided were fantastic!
My husband works in the wedding industry and has seen and played about 100 venues, and this one just far exceeds the special factor.
THANK YOU to everyone at Soundview Catering for making our day so magical!
Book them now, no questions!

Wedding September 4, 2022
Where do I begin? When we first met with the owner Michael at Soundview we knew right away we had to have our wedding here. Everyone at Soundview welcomes you in like you are family, which is exactly the feel we wanted and not to mention the most beautiful ballroom and huge windows looking out to the sound. We soon met Diego and Brittany, who were so accommodating and answered any questions we had for the day. My bridal attendant, Taryn. Just wow. She carried my extremely heavy train for me and never left my side the entire night. She recommended bustling my dress since I couldn’t really dance while holding it. Diego grabbed pins and was able to give my dress a bustle. What man can bustle a wedding dress in less than 5 minutes? I was in awe and forever thankful for this! Diego even stood next to our photographer and took pictures of us throughout the night and recorded our first dance without us even noticing or asking and shared them with us the following day❤️Taryn came up to me at the end of the night and teared up reading one of the poems my husband had wrote for me that was framed at the venue and said how much she loved us as a couple. It was such a sweet moment and just shows how much they truly care about your special night and genuinely are good, down to earth people. The whole night was so smooth and Brittany was amazing in making sure we stayed on time and everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was delicious and I am still getting compliments! We can’t thank everyone at Soundview enough and we love you all! Thank you Michael, Brittany, Diego, Taryn, caterers, and everyone else behind the scenes. We hope to have any and all events going forward at Soundview and we can’t wait to visit again.

The moment we walked into Soundview we knew the venue is for us (and at that point we looked at 12 places) The space is sooo beautiful and so unique it is every bride’s dream! One event at a time, beautiful outdoor area for ceremony and no carpets! Brittney was amazing she was very accommodating and always available for whatever we needed, she also guided us through the process and helped the planning go smoother. The food is to die for. On our wedding day Diego and Taylor took care of everything and always being at our side for whatever we needed from holding my dress, fixing my hair, bringing us food and drinks, and making sure we were happy! Our friends and family raves about how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue is. Our wedding day was perfect, it was everything we pictured, and it is all thanks to the amazing staff at Soundview. We are so happy and pleased we chose this venue, there is really no one else like them.

I could not say enough amazing things about Soundview! If I could rate more than 5 stars I would! Everything was perfect from start to finish.
My husband and I got married at Soundview in September 2022 and our experience was incredible. Since our first visit, we fell in love with the venue and just knew we had to get married here. Two months later, and we still have guests tell us how that was the best wedding they've ever been to.
The food and service we received were exceptional. Every area of this venue is beautiful - from their outdoor ceremony space over looking the LI sound, to the beautiful light and airy ballroom.
Brittany, Diego and Chris were so great to deal with. They were professional, personable, caring and attentive. They were such a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. They all made sure our wedding day was special, and I can say that it truly was perfect and exactly how we envisioned it. Thank you Soundview for an unforgettable experience!!
If you want your wedding to be truly perfect, I highly recommend booking with Soundview!

Our wedding day was perfect thanks to the Soundview Team ! If you are looking for an affordable one wedding a day venue on the water that treats its clients like family this is the place for you ! From the time we booked to the day of Brittney ,the banquet manager, was in constant contact with me answering emails and any questions I had within hours of sending. We also met with Diego who is the Maitre D a few times before the wedding and he is AMAZING does it all !! He was so on the ball all night long and made sure everything ran smoothly. I even had trouble with my bustle and he pulled out a needle and thread and sewed it in place on my dress ! Wedding day we were allowed to arrive to the venue whenever we wanted which was great because we were not rushed for pictures ! The Ceremony space is beautiful overlooking the sound and hearing the waves crash as we got married is something ill never forget. Ballroom is gorgeous ( simple elegant is what I like to use to describe it) and the food was delicious, we got many compliments about cocktail hour and the taco bell exit station they set up was a huge hit !!

Soundview went above and beyond to give my wife and I the wedding of our dreams. Picking a venue can be overwhelming, but once we walked into Soundview, we knew it was going to be the venue we picked! Even on a rainy day in May, the venue was stunning and the views of the water were remarkable. From the beginning, Brittany was so helpful, accommodating , and always available for questions. The showcases they had at the venue were helpful and comforting with planning the wedding. The recommended vendors were great! Brittany and Diego really made us feel confident that the wedding would go smoothly and be everything we wanted it to be in the weeks leading up.
The day of our wedding was truly remarkable. The weather was perfect which truly brought out the beauty of Soundview. The views of the LI Sound were incredible and the venue it self was set-up so beautifully. The cocktail hour was a big hit and many people complimented how good the food was and how much there was. The staff went above and beyond and truly made it a great experience for all of our guests. Each of the workers for each table were all incredible. The main courses were also delicious and again received so many compliments. The dance floor is a perfect size and was the place to be! Thank you so much for everything, we truly had the wedding day of our dreams. I will always highly recommend Soundview Caterers to others!

Thank you Soundview for the most perfect wedding day! My husband and I got married at the Soundview this past June and we couldn't be more pleased, and every single one of our guests felt the same, we had such an amazing time! I have so many wonderful things to say, I'm not even sure where to begin, but it would have to be with the Soundview team, who are absolutely incredible. Brittany is on it! She makes sure you have every little detail covered (and even reminds you to place your order for your wedding cake when you've completely forgotten to do so yourself.) Diego is beyond helpful, so organized, and the most kind person I've ever worked with. He doesn't miss a beat either! He makes you feel like family. Chris was an added bonus, he pays attention to detail, keeps everyone moving in the right direction and makes sure everyone is looking sharp! And lastly, Taylor, my bridal attendant, was so patient and calm, exactly what a bride needs on her wedding day. Having this crew allowed my husband and I to have an absolute blast at our wedding. We had ourselves the wedding of our dreams. We didn't have to worry about a thing and the whole day went off without a hitch. Our guests RAVED about the food at cocktail hour. And all of the Soundviews suggested vendors were fantastic, especially our photographer Matthew Adams and our DJ Rafael from Ultimate Sounds. Beautiful venue, gorgeous outdoor ceremony location, amazing staff, delicious food, what more could you ask for! Can't thank the Soundview crew enough!

Choosing Soundview was one of the best decisions we made. We got married on July 4, 2022 and it was absolutely PERFECT. I can’t say enough good things about this venue and the Soundview team.
Soundview itself is stunning. The ceremony area is outside and adjacent to the ocean, but not on the water, so you don’t have to deal with the sand. Our wedding photos were so beautiful with the water in the background. The banquet hall is also stunning. Wood floors with light colored walls and very light, classy gold accents. There are floor to ceiling windows so guests can see the sunset during the party. We got married on the 4th, so everyone could watch fireworks from the different towns across the bay. It made the night even more awesome and magical.
The food is also really good and they give you SO many options. People told me they were so full by the end of the night, they couldn’t eat any of the late night snack/favors we provided. The crab cakes were a huge hit with our guests and so were the cookie dipped in chocolate/ice cream combos (and wedding cake) for dessert. Their package includes an open bar (and your choice of signature drinks) which was a huge plus.
The staff is AMAZING. I was a bit of a neurotic planner and Brittany was extremely responsive to my questions and requests. The day of the wedding, we felt like royalty. They made everything go smoothly and took care of our (and our guests’) every need. They are GREAT with allergies (the groom is severely allergic to peanuts). They provide you a bridal attendant and she was so sweet and helpful, always holding dress and getting me water (and champagne!).
Overall you can’t go wrong with this venue. People told me it was one of the best weddings that they have ever been to!

Could not be happier with our choice of venue. The view was stunning, the food was fantastic, the room was decorated just as we asked. But most importantly, the staff is INCREDIBLE. Everyone was so amazing and they really made the whole day/night perfect. Would highly recommend!

We had our wedding at Soundview on 7/9. We had looked at several venues, and none of them felt special. We went to Soundview and we knew it was the place for us. We met with the owner, Michael who was very real with us and who was very accommodating. The place is drop dead gorgeous, the outside ceremony space is right on the water and you can hear the waves which is so relaxing. The inside/outdoor cocktail hour space has more delicious food than you can ever imagine! The reception room is rustic/glam with gorgeous wood floors and beautiful glass chandeliers. Brittany, Diego, Chris, Taryn run the show and do a phenomenal job making sure everything runs smoothly and on schedule. You will have Not a single thing to worry about at this venue. They take care of everything for you. They set everything up and ensure you are happy with it. Throughout the entire process they are accommodating and very responsive. They only do one wedding a day which is something we wanted. Everyone has been raving about how delicious all the food was and how there were so many different options to pick from! RUN DONT WALK to book your wedding at Soundview!!! It was the best decision we made!

We loved Soundview! After attending a wedding here a few years ago, we knew this was the place for us. Brittany is an angel who answered all my questions and emails promptly, Diego was also an angel who got shiz done! Chris was a wonderful surprise because we didn't know that he was going to be part of the wedding-gang, and boy was he on it. He was on us making sure we were comfortable and happy throughout - he even held onto our pup Captain before the ceremony!! Our bridal attendant killed it throughout the whole night!! Chef Nick and his crew are INCREDIBLE - all anyone could talk about was the food - our guests thought the cocktail hour was the main course because of how much there was AND how good it was; they were surprised when they saw the menus at their tables!
There were a few things here and there that I would change or have planned better (my fault, not theirs), I wish that treats from our exit station were saved for myself and my husband. We should have been a bit more vocal about not putting containers with water in our boxes at pack-up (one box had a container with flowers spill and ruin some papers, but nothing important thankfully). I did also get some FOMO from seeing the venue post photos from other weddings and not mine, but maybe I should have said I'd love for them to also take pictures? Despite that, this place is fabulous & will do all that they can to make you feel good during your event which is what matters.
The Soundview fam made us feel wonderful and don't let one spoiled apple in the bunch ruin this day or decision.

We just had the most amazing wedding at Soundview for our daughter! The view can't be beat! We had the ceremony on the water and it was magnificent. Diego was there to pace the bridesmaids down the aisle, the bridal attendant was right there to straighten our daughter's train, every staff member was courteous. The day flowed seamlessly, so we didn't have to think about anything. Every guest raved about what a fabulous wedding this was. The food at the cocktail hour was so plentiful, people from out of state thought this was the main meal. Brittany and Diego were always available for questions and were prompt in responding. There are golf carts provided to transport any guest that has difficulty walking, down to the ceremony at the water. There is one bathroom on the lower floor, but the few guests that had some difficulty maneuvering, were encouraged to use the bridal suite. It was the most incredible, memorable day for our families! thank you!

Soundview was an absolutely incredible venue for our wedding, Michael and his team were amazing and made our wedding day an amazing one! My fiance found the venue and the moment we saw it we knew it would be perfect! Diego and Brittany were incredible and constantly stayed in contact throughout the wedding process! The week leading up to the wedding they were phenomenal and so was Michael, very willing to help and accommodate us with anything! Our wedding day was magical and I was honestly in awe of everything Soundview and their team did for us. I have to say the best moment for us was when my husband and I went into the bridal suite and they had food set up in there for us from the cocktail hour, we took a few minutes to just enjoy one another and I didn't realize how nice it was to have that moment alone until we had that to sit and take it all in! The day was stress free and absolutely beautiful thanks to Diego, Brittany and the Soundview family! Highly recommend Soundview for a wedding, party or any other event, they were incredible!

This was the first and only venue we considered for my daughter's wedding. The second we walked in to the main room, we knew we had found the right place. A one-wedding venue, the view from the reception hall to the water is breathtaking! The room is, too.. Large, elegant, well-appointed. We booked this back in May 2019, originally for a wedding in October 2020.
Then COVID struck and we had to postpone the reception until October 2021.
In the interim, the owner was very unpleasant and intransigent to deal with, but I am glad we persisted. The vow renewal by the water and reception last month was spectacular! Diego, the maitre d', and Brittany, the venue point person, were the best -- accessible, professional, creative, and endlessly patient and attentive. You couldn't have a more beautiful setting for the ceremony, with sunset in the background! The food in both the cocktail hour (amazing variety!!) and the dinner was delicious and provoked many compliments from the guests, the liquor was top-shelf and they worked with our special requests for sangria, etc.
Every single thing went off flawlessly; the bride and groom (AND her parents) were relaxed and able to enjoy every moment knowing the evening was in very capable and caring hands. The owner aside, Soundview Caterers, and its staff, really know their stuff! I never thought I would say this, but it was worth every penny!

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Everything was exactly how we wanted it to be, for better words it was perfect. Michael, Diego, Emily and Brittney were amazing. They were all extremely helpful leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding. We postponed our wedding 3 times due to COVID restrictions and Michael accommodated us every step of the way. We will continue recommend this venue to everyone!

Couldn't be happier with our Soundview experience for our wedding. The team are experts at knowing exactly what to do before, during, and after your wedding. They did everything they could to make our day perfect from set-up to breakdown. Our guests were floored by the food and venue, including the perfect weather we had for the ceremony. Pick a venue that makes you feel special, a venue that hosts one wedding a day. You won't regret it.

The best decision we made for our wedding! A true Long Island gem. My husband & I toured every single waterfront venue in the area & immediately fell in love with Soundview. The ceremony space AND the reception area are unmatched.
Soundview Caterers was a dream to work with from start to finish. The entire staff is responsive, friendly, and helpful. From the time we first signed our contract, we felt well taken care of! The day of our wedding, we didn't have any hiccups and were treated like family the entire day & night. Guests are still talking about the venue, food, & staff over a month later.
10/10 would recommend Soundview Caterers for ANY couple looking for a truly beautiful waterfront venue.

My (now) husband and I knew the minute we toured Soundview this was going to be our wedding venue. This is truly a dream venue. The location/view is stunning, the space is maintained so perfectly, the food is phenomenal, and the staff is so incredibly accommodating. They truly make you feel like the most important couple whether it was during the planning leading up to the wedding or the day-of when anything I could possibly need was taken care of. Any couple would be lucky to get married here.

You can’t go wrong with having your wedding/event at Soundview! My husband and I got married over a month ago, and our friends and family continue to tell us that they had the most memorable experience at Soundview. From the beautiful water views, the spectacular top of the line food, to the impeccable service, Soundview makes every couple and their guests feel like royalty. We had the most contact with Emily, Deigo, and Tara. They were so amazing, and I felt like they knew us for years. They were so sweet and made sure we were all comfortable and without worry. I rave about Soundview as much as I can because they are the real deal. Don’t get me wrong, weddings are expensive, but the Soundview offers a value like no other. While shopping for a venue, I was shocked to learn all that was included in our package with the Soundview when comparing it to similar venues in Long Island. Do not hesitate to book with Soundview.

Sound view was the first catering hall we went to and my husband and I knew instantly that we wanted to have out wedding there. The venue is beautiful and the vibes we got from Micheal (owner) was great! We thought about it and we told them yes on the spot!
I had my wedding August 1, 2021. It was one of the BEST days of my life. All the staff there are amazing and did their best to make my day perfect and it truly was!! All of my guest said it was the best wedding they ever went to. Diego is amazing very hard working guy was always checking in on us and making sure everything went smoothly the day leading up to the wedding! Taryn who was my bridal assistant was perfect such a sweetheart!

They are constantly telling us how good the staff treated them and how attentive they were. All in all, we cannot recommend them enough. They made our wedding day so special and we can never thank the team enough. We are so happy and proud to be part of the Soundview family.

We knew almost instantly that we wanted to have our wedding and reception at Soundview. Walking inside is gorgeous, plus it’s a waterfront venue that only hosts one event at a time. These are extremely rare qualities, but were all high priorities for my husband and I while planning. Soundview Caterers literally blew all of the other venues we visited out of the water. Soundview caterers to whatever you want for the day of your wedding. We booked with them over two years in advance and they were one of the BEST decisions we made! They made the entire process easy, smooth, and stress free. I had no concerns leading up to and on the day of our wedding because I knew they would take care of everything, and they absolutely did exactly that. They say something always goes wrong at your wedding, but literally nothing did. Soundview took care of every single detail and made sure we were happy the whole day. Diane, Diego, Lia, and Micheal were all amazing to work with and made sure our day was everything we ever wanted. They truly treated us like family and their attention to detail made everything even more beautiful than I had imagined. They surpassed my expectations and created the intimate atmosphere that I was invisoning for our special day. We got married on Superbowl Sunday and my father is a huge Chiefs fan and they created a beautiful watermelon sculpture for the Chiefs especially for him, which was an incredibly sweet, touching, and such a cool surprise for all of us! Who does that?!...family...and that’s exactly how you will feel and will be treated the entire time. The food is incredible and all of our guests were raving about it both during cocktail hour and at the reception. We had several guests with very strict dietary needs and they were able to accomodate all of them without any issues or complaints. While we were a little bummed to not get
beautiful Soundview sunset pictures due to it being cloudy they told us we are more than welcome to come back to get them at another time. Everyone went above and beyond to create the wedding day of our dreams which we will cherish forever! We cannot recommend the entire team at Soundview enough! Book your wedding there you will not regret it!

I cannot recommend the Soundview enough! This is an absolutely gorgeous venue, right on the water in Bayville, NY. It consists of two floors: the first floor has a lobby, the bridal suite and adjacent restroom, and the main reception area. The reception area is absolutely beautiful—it can accommodate up to 200 guests, and they can also put up an unobtrusive screen to cut off part of the room if your wedding party is on the smaller side (they did this for me--I had 100 guests and it didn’t feel cramped or too big, it was just right). There is a really beautiful 1920’s-esque bar, and an amazing view of the ocean.
The lower floor contains the bathrooms and another dining area, which is where cocktail hour is hosted. This too contains a large, beautiful bar, an outside patio where guests can go, and a baby grand piano! We hired a pianist for an hour, and guests loved it. Lastly, there’s a walkway down to the ocean.
One of the best features of the Soundview is that this whole area is yours for the day. They only book one wedding per day, so your guests can have the run of the place and go wherever they want. It’s also incredibly practical: you have a drop-off appointment where you give them everything you want put out for your wedding and they put it all together for you, but you or a family member can also go there the day-of, if you forget anything at your formal drop-off appointment. I found this to be a huge stress-reliever. Just knowing that I could go there if I needed to and make changes was a big weight off my shoulders.
The food is superb. And the food you get for cocktail hour is ridiculously good—there’s SO much and each dish is better than the last. When we arrived they took us into the bridal suite, so that we could relax for a half hour and have time to regroup, and they brought us a sampler of everything people were eating at cocktail hour. I could’ve cried in joy. We didn’t know they would do that and it was AMAZING!
And that brings me to one of the best features of the Soundview, and that is the people who work there. Michael, the owner, works hard to accommodate you as a client. The amazing food, I hear, can be attributed to him being a chef. Diane is the main contact after you sign your contract and she was amazing to work with. Best of all, she gives great advice if, like me, you were unsure of basically everything. Diego, the maître’d, was so attentive, polite, and genuinely invested in making sure the night went well. You also get a bridal attendant, and mine was absolutely lovely. She was always on hand to help with anything, be it your veil coming undone, bustling your dress, or finding your shoes. At the end of the night one of the valet drivers came up to me to thank me for tipping them, which I thought was so sweet. Truly everyone there is just so genuinely kind and good people.
The best part was, after we got to our hotel room and were looking through our things, we saw that they had written a sweet message for us on our cake box, AND took a picture of all of the staff with our polaroid, put it into our guestbook, and wrote a beautiful message on behalf of all of the staff at Soundview. I was so surprised and touched!
Honestly, I know I’m repeating myself here, but I can’t recommend this venue enough. I would give them 100 out of 5 stars if I could! They made this whole experience as stress-free as possible, and it was a beautiful and memorable night. Thank you so much, everyone at Soundview!

We had our daughter’s wedding reception at Soundview on 9/1/19. From the ceremony space to the ballroom, the venue is beautiful, but what really makes Soundview so outstanding is its personnel. I cannot say enough about the organization, execution, and attentiveness of the Soundview staff that evening. Our Maître d’, Diego, and his assistant, Diane, were on top of everything throughout the night. Andrea, the bridal attendant, was omnipresent, but unobtrusive. That is, she was always there, but you didn’t realize she was there until she was filling a need you didn’t even know you had. Donna was amazing behind the bar, anticipating drinks from guests as they approached. Everyone at Soundview was the same way – you didn’t realize they were there until they were doing something to enhance your experience! The cocktail hour had an incredible amount of delicious food choices, followed later by perfectly cooked entrees. It was a wonderful evening, in part because of Soundview’s preferred vendors, of which we used and highly recommend – Pedestal Florist, Matthew Adam Photography, and the band, Crossing Midnight Entertainment. All were instrumental in our daughter’s phenomenal wedding day! Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended, so if you are planning an event on Long Island in the future, there is no need to look elsewhere, choose Soundview!

My husband and I were married at Soundview on July 4th 2019. From the very first moment we stepped foot into Soundview when we first got engaged, to the very last second of our wedding, Michael, Diane, Diego, Andrea and the entire Soundview staff, went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The food, the atmosphere, the organization, every little detail of our day was impeccable. The food more than surpassed our expectations. Chef Nick did an amazing job. We have had so many compliments about the cocktail hour and the multiple courses served at our reception. The food was something you would get at a fancy restaurant! Diego was our Maître D for the evening. He did all that he could to keep our guests happy and made sure that our day went smoothly. (We love you Diego!!) Andrea was my bridal attendant. She was by my side all day and night helping me with my dress and my flowers and making sure I had everything that I needed. And of course, our banquet manager Diane! She is a truly an amazing woman and now our friend. My dad has not been well this past year and every time we communicated, Diane would always ask about him. She knew I was worried about his health on the day of the wedding, and she made sure that he was looked after and taken care of on that day, which truly put my mind at ease. What separates Soundview the most from every other wedding venue, is that they treat you like family. I truly believe that Michael cares about the couples that come into his beautiful place and wants them to have a picture perfect, memorable day like ours. My husband and I can’t thank you all enough. We love you, and we will be back to visit for our anniversary!

Incredible and beautiful one wedding a day venue. The staff is incredible. They took care of everything, from making sure the bar had my preferred wine, Reisling, to making sure I was able to sneak away for 10 minutes to do sunset photos with my husband. They really are there to accommodate any request! My husband is Israeli so we asked for a custom cocktail hour station, and I have heard only amazing things not only about that station, but the food in general. Also I kept mentioning my love of pretzels and almost went with that as an exit station but instead chose gelato since it's more summery. So imagine my surprise on the day of the wedding, one of the plates for just my husband and I was a plate of pretzels. They are thoughtful, they are kind, and they never made me feel like I was inundating them with questions! I would recommend this venue again and again. Thank you Diego, Diane, Andrea, and the rest of the amazing staff.
PS- the ceremony space is just second to none.

The most amazing venue we could ever ask for! We knew Soundview was the one, when we stepped foot inside the door. The ballroom is flawless, modern, and pristine. The cocktail hour room is set up perfectly for mingling. Lastly, the ceremony space outside, looking over the sound, is stunning! I want to genuinely thank the entire Soundview team for making our wedding so unforgettable. You guys truly blew us away with your hospitality. The food was amazing, and our guest are still talking about how delicious everything was! Special shoutout to Diane for being so patient and answering all my questions throughout the planning process. Thank you to our Maitre D, Diego who was there for us every step of the way the day of the wedding. Thank you to our bridal attended Andrea, her sweet personality and eagerness made for such a smooth night. Everything was so beyond perfect!! If you are lucky enough to find what I call a hidden gem, no need to look further! Soundview is the best of the best all around!!

This review is a lot later than I had ever anticipated.
We could say thank you a thousand times to Soundview for making our wedding date perfect but it would still never be enough.
From our first meeting with Michael (the owner), he made us feel like part of the family. He was extremely gracious, honest and never pushed anything on us. He was also beyond accommodating with his schedule as my then fiancé lived a plane ride away and only came to New York every 3-4 weeks.
Our wedding day was what dreams are made of. Soundview is stunning; the views are breathtaking. It is pure elegance without being over the top. The service from the staff, especially Diego (the Maitre’ D) exceeded all our expectations. We had a few extra requests which the staff pulled off perfectly.
The food....to say our guests were impressed by even just the cocktail hour would be an understatement.
We were married 1.5 years ago and many of our friends and family are still saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to (including their own)!
Thank you Michael and Soundview for giving us the perfect day, the wedding of our dreams.

When we stepped into Soundview Caterers about a year before our wedding during venue hunting, we knew this place was special. We worked with Diane who was great. She responded in a timely manner whenever we had questions and was personable. On the day of the wedding, it was supposed to rain and we were going to move everything indoors but an hour before, we decided we wanted to do the ceremony outside instead and they made it happen quickly and seamlessly. Everything ended up just as we envisioned. Everyone raves about the food also!
My bridal attendant, Lee, was attentive and even helped me sew my dress strap back on when it snapped! Thank goodness!
We would recommend having your event here — the views by the water were top-notch.

How do I even begin to describe how wonderful Soundview Caterers are! My husband and I had our wedding reception there on November 23, 2018 and it was AMAZING! We were sold on the location when we saw the beautiful ballroom and stunning views. Everything is clean, newly updated, and the food was amazing! I come from an Italian family and food is very important. We were able to go to a bridal showcase and sample all of the cocktail hour food with our family. Anything we did not care for we were allowed to change on the menu for our big day and were not met with any resistance. We even substituted some items on the “Southern Comfort” station so we can include my husband’s favorite, chicken and waffles.
The staff at Soundview Caterers are so wonderful! They are so attentive and accommodating and helped make our wedding something straight out of a fairytale. When we first booked Soundview as our venue my husband made a joke that his favorite food was chicken parm and he wanted to eat that on our wedding day. Diane took that mental note and when we received our dinner (a sample of everything on our menu) she handed him a separate plate of chicken parm. It was so fantastic!
When the time had come to drop off our boxes of décor for the wedding. Ricky let us set up everything the way we wanted because they had no other weddings prior to ours that week. This was so amazing because as most brides do I had a vision of how I wanted everything to look and it relieved so much stress knowing I would like the final product because I was able to set it up. Most places will not let you do that.
Our bridal attendant was fantastic She was always present asking if we wanted anything and always had drinks waiting for us. The rest of the wait staff and bar tenders were equal wonderful. They didn’t make our guest want for anything!
Soundview Caterers was truly a wonderful experience. We were so happy with our Wedding and I can’t wait to go back in the future!

There aren’t enough amazing things to say about this venue and staff. From the moment I met with Diane I knew this was the place. I came here after having a terrible experience at crescent club and told Diane I would be bringing my son. When we arrived Diane and Diego had crayons, coloring books and played with him the entire time. The entire time leading up to wedding they were fantastic. The day of my wedding they made me feel so confident to have my outdoor ceremony even though weather was iffy. They made everything happen and went above and beyond. Ricky even added extra to the room to make it look perfect. The staff was great and everyone keeps raving about the food. I truly wish we could do it all over again!

SUPERB!!! EXEMPLARY!!!! FIVE STAR SERVICE!!!! These are the praises we have heard in the days following our wedding on October 20. 2018. We had our ceremony by the water and it was stellar! Our guests then went to the cocktail hour, we've been called so many times just to let us know how Fabulous and Extraordinary the cocktail hour was. Our reception was to us beyond Elegant, but to hear from our guests how well they were treated by Michael and his staff speaks volumes. Our dinner was amazing, the drinks were handled meticulously by the bartenders. Ricky our Matre'd was within eyesight at almost every turn. "They deserve an award" was a text I received about the staff. Very attentive and courteous. We couldn't have been happier to hear these praises from our family and friends. If there was a way to elevate our experience at Soundview Caterers I don't know how that would be possible. Soundview Caterers gave our family, friends, Myself and my Husband a Night We Will Never Forget!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!

Just as these others review show, Soundview Caterers is an amazing venue with an impeccable staff supporting it. Our wedding day, and the planning stages leading up to it were incredible!
Michael is a very hands on owner and put my husband and me at ease upon touring the venue. Diane answered every one of our questions throughout the process and was so helpful and informed! Ricky and Diego were incredible and really shined at the night of our wedding. The week leading up to the wedding (which is definitely crunch time!) we knew we were in good hands when Ricky said he tracks the weather and makes sure everything goes beautifully. My bridal attendant, Andrea was also so helpful and really removed any stress of the evening by going above and beyond.
Our guests were so impressed with the staff and remarked how delicious the food was, and the ones who ordered the filet mignon said it came cooked as they ordered. We used Ultimate Sound DJs (one of the recommended vendors) and the music choices and excitement of the night did not stop! Every step was carefully thought out and it showed that night. Michael only recommends the best people for the job and we had that for our wedding.
We only hope to attend another wedding ourselves there to experience the night again!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Not only are the grounds absolutely beautiful but the staff was so accommodating. From our initial meeting, to our rehersal, to the week and day of our wedding. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel like family the moment we walked in the door. The food was amazing as well! All of our guests have been raving about every detail of the wedding day. Thank you to our family at Soundview Caterers for making our special day as perfect as we imagined!

Soundview was the first and only venue we visited and we made our decision to sign our contract within 24 hours. My husband and I couldn't have known at that time how great our decision would be, but during our wedding, we were absolutely blown away. Leading up to the special day, Diane, Ricky, Michael and their team made every step seamless and easy. Keep in mind, we were planning a Long Island wedding from Rhode Island. We weren't the easiest to work with, but they went above and beyond doing what they needed to in order to accommodate us. I cried when I saw the ballroom when I first walked in. They had every little detail perfected. Ricky made sure we got outside for the BEAUTIFUL sunset pictures, he kept our bridal party in line and on time (which wasn't easy). I forgot to put my garter on in the morning, and when I saw Ricky come over with the toss bouquet for the garter/bouquet I panicked! Well - I started to, because Ricky and my MC pivoted and came up with a new plan within seconds! The food was AMAZING. People are STILL talking about it. They couldn't believe there was more food after the cocktail hour!
Soundview physically speaks for itself, the location and beauty of the venue is easy to see. It's all the behind the scenes you don't know you're getting until you're living it. I know I am forgetting things, but there is NOTHING I could have changed, it was EXACTLY how my now husband and I envisioned it. We are forever grateful!
Do yourself a favor, and spend the most important day of your life with Michael, his team and the most beautiful wedding venue on Long Island!
