We use the venue for my daughter’s first birthday party on Saturday, October 13, 2024. The planning leading up to the party was made very easy by the office manager, Danielle. She answered by many questions and responded very quickly via email. I felt everything was very organized before the party had many meetings and a floor plan was provided to me as well as seating cards and table lists. I was able to go in early to decorate because I had many handmade decorations that I wanted to handle myself when I arrived at the room, it was exactly as I had asked it to be. I did not feel rushed over while I was taking everything down. The staff and maitred were Friendly and helpful Both during set up and during the party. The grounds were nicely maintained, and we had use them during the party. I like how all the food was outside under the tent room so I had more room for the guests in the main area. Everything was very clean and the food was good. I also paid extra for a special occasion tiered cake, which came out exactly as I had asked for. I would say the cost was in the middle when I was pricing out venues. It is definitely expensive to have a party no matter where you go so might as well pick a nice place like this. I would recommend them and Danielle.

"Uncle" frank and Bill are amazing. We viewed the location and we fell in love with it. We only had a small wedding and the place was perfect. They have an affordable wedding package with amazing vendors. Their food is delicious. When we sat down with them to go over the vendors they took their time answering every little question we had and we had a lot. They broke down the price of everything. They are very reachable and if they don't answer they call us back in a timely manner. Very professional and made us feel at home and like we were working with family. The location is beautiful and right on the lake with a gorgeous outdoor area or the cocktail hour and ceremony.

She made sure I had everything that I needed, did everything I was supposed to and kept me on track. I’m so happy I was able to meet her and have her as my attendant. Thank you Vicky for being there for me that night you made my night wonderful.

Everyone went above and beyond to make our Son’s and now daughter’s wedding spectacular. You were made to feel welcomed and special from the first moment we walked until it was time to leave.

I don’t know even know how to begin. This location exceeded my expectations. I am beyond grateful and blessed to have celebrated my wedding in this location. They were so detailed, informative , and organized. They truly made my day so special. From the beginning booking the event, to the actual day, they ensured I was informed of the process and everything was done to my liking . All the staff was so attentive, friendly and helpful it made me feel a part of a family. What really stood out to me was my bridal attendant Vicky. From the moment I walked into the venue to when it was time to leave, she was the most supportive, helpful , kind person I could’ve have ever asked for. But everyone on my team left my husband and I in awe . They worked so hard and truly made my wedding the most memorable day !

We would honestly give it 10 stars if we could. The venue is beautiful, but the staff really made our wedding the most special day! Toni was an outstanding bride attendant to us both, always there offering help and taking amazing pictures of us. From booking to our wedding day, they are extremely warm and caring 🥰 I recommend the package since the photographer, videographer, dj and florist were more than helpful. Food and drinks were amazing and always coming and we got so many compliments from our guests about the wedding, the food and the amazing piña coladas 🎉🎉

Luis Rios, MaitreD
Matt, Captain
Vicky, Bridal Attendant
I had the pleasure of working with this team in my capacity of wedding coordinator for a wonderful couple.
Vicky was super attentive tending to all needs, including outside of the wedding party. The bridal suite was set up to spec, and all of her added touches from the bathroom toiletries to the room fragrance did not go unnoticed. She made sure every aspect of the bridal experience was top notch and also aided in setup for the ceremony and reception. Great personality and genuine demeanor.
Luis did an amazing job partnering with me to keep the program running smoothly from start to finish. He remained flexible as I ensured the wedding couple's vision was executed and, in turn, made sure the staff was always fully informed of what was happening next. His attentiveness helped to avoid confusion and ensured everything happened in a timely fashion. An awesome leader.
Matt made sure all the food was tasty, aestically pleasing, and properly tempered. Every single plate was cleaned by the guests, and seconds had. The sign of a great meal is that there are no leftovers and no murmurings. With happy people and full bellys, the guests enthustically danced the night away!
These 3 leaders in addition to all on their staff made the wedding experience for the couple and their guests a first class experience. 👏🏾

This place is amazing!! It has rustic charm, lake views, beach themes, and a great staff. Luis our Maitre'D, Felix our Captain, and the most gracious Bridal Attendant Toni, made our visions come to life. Great service, outstanding food, and accolades from every guest. We choose Events Unlimited for our services and we're so happy with the seamless integration between the Beach Club Estate and the florist, DJ, the photographer and videographer, and the limo service. A big thank you to Kress, Jacob, Joey & Mike. The in-house bakery supplied the perfect wedding cake. This amazing team compliments an outstanding venue.

My husband and I were Recently married at Beach club Estate. To be quite frank, we made a terrible mistake choosing this venue. Our biggest selling point for choosing Beach Club was the view and the packages they provided. Unfortunately, the weather on the day of our wedding was less than optimal. We came to terms with the weather, but the venue really dropped the ball. I understand unpredictable weather, but the venue did not seem prepared for rain, which is quite surprising for a business that has been around so long!! As a bride, I was already anxious and stressed for the day ahead. While I was getting ready with my bridesmaids, I was getting phone calls from the venue about what arrangements should be made due to the weather. All while I'm getting my MAKEUP DONE AND TAKING PHOTOS!! I am honestly just really disappointed with the way they do business.
When I arrived at the venue and was preparing with my bridal party to walk down the aisle, several staff members were telling me "Bill double booked" and "the party before you was very upset". I really tried to keep my composure and just make the best of things. I am just thankful for our amazing guests who helped my husband and I to look past the many issues to enjoy our night. I would recommend this venue to anyone. There are so many more beautiful places on long island with better quality and are much better managed. I do hope people have a better experience than we did, but I would suggest you look elsewhere!

We decided to celebrate our marriage at the Beach Club Estate - they had an in-house planner and some other vendors they were affiliated with: in-house baker, photographer, attire for both bridal parties, florist, and makeup. Their venue is an old historic site at the side of as beautiful lakes. The staff was kind, conscientious, and communicate well with us all our needs were met and tended to. The food was well prepared and displayed perfectly, this was ideal place for our small (60 people) wedding. Thank you for all your help and making our day so special!

Wow, wow, wow! We were completely blown away. Our wedding was GORGEOUS, the staff was AMAZING and the food was DELICIOUS!!! We were so lucky that the BCE was able to accomodate our request to have the entire wedding outdoors. It was simply gorgeous being on the lake all night. The views were breathtaking and we heard from so many guests that is was one of the best weddings they had ever been to.
When I first arrived, I gasped at how beautiful everything looked. Vicky, my bridal attendant, could not have been more solicitous or helpful. And the wonderful Maitre'D kept everything running smoothly.
I highly recommend adding on the Ice Cream Sundae Bar for dessert -- it was a big hit!
Everything we wanted, from the signature cocktail to the chapel configuration to the food was done to perfection. We feel so grateful and lucky that we chose the Beach Club Estate. We hope we get invited to another wedding here so we can experience it as a guest.
Huge thank you to the entire staff for giving us such a magical wedding.

My wife and I recently celebrated our wedding reception at Beach Club Estate on Lake Ronkonkoma with 70 guests. The venue speaks for itself. However, the level of hospitality also spoke for itself. The staff was inconsiderate and rude to my guests and to each other. My guests heard multiple remarks made by the “Captain” Ken about a lack of tip, which was asked for one week before the day. My wife and I gave half then with every intention of giving the other half at the end of the night. After hearing multiple stories from my guests (one such story including a staff member throwing a plate off the table after a guest of mine took a cannoli from it), witnessing him berate his staff and my guests in plain sight, him being flat-out rude to my elderly friends and family, and not receiving everything we were promised in our contract (e.g., International Coffee Station and Signature drinks) we didn’t feel that was necessary.
Afterwards we also heard stories from our vendors of the staffs’ unwillingness to work with them. Specifically, our photo booth vendor which asked them multiple times for an outlet to plug in another light or to raise the level of the lights by the photo booth. He was blown off each time. The result was that those photos came out darker than expected.
After confronting Bill Fello (the banquet manager) with these accounts, he took ZERO accountability for his staff and offered no remorse for any of their actions.
I will not be recommending this venue to any friends or family based off these accounts. If you find that this venue fits the bill for you, I recommend that you tip the staff at the end after experiencing the hospitality of those that are assigned to your event.

My fiancé and I recently sat down with Michael from Windows On the Lake/The Beach Club Estate to discuss our future wedding plans. We first looked at Windows on the Lake, but after discussing what we wanted, he suggested we look at The Beach Club Estate, as he felt we might be happier there. He made space in his schedule the next day for us to view the other venue. We found it a perfect fit for what we wanted. Michael was attentive to every detail and his foremost concern was that we find the perfect place to get married and have the celebration to follow. We couldn’t ask for a better banquet manager and look forward to having our wedding at The Beach Club Estate next year! Thanks again Michael and team for a wonderful experience!

Michael was fantastic to work with. He’s especially great planning same-sex weddings and ceremonies. While we didn’t end up going with this venue, Michael really sold it and was willing to work with us on everything. As far as venue goes, the outside is beautiful with a nice view of the lake. The outside patio would be an awesome venue. The inside reception room is somewhat outdated and could use some updating. Staff was excellent though.

The venue has beautiful views, with old charm. It offers so many wonderful options. The staff that we had a chance to meet was amazing. Trevor showed us around the property and explained how everything happens. We then had the pleasure of meeting Michael. He went over everything with us, answered all of our questions and was very accommodating with our needs and wants for our special day. He made everything about the planning enjoyable. I even got a hug at the end! It felt more like I was planning everything with a close family member or my best friend then anything else. On top of all that amazingness we were served penne ala vodka with garlic toast followed with a small sample plate of desserts.; all which were delicious! Made the experience that much more enjoyable.

My fiance and I just had a meeting with Michael to discuss using this as a wedding venue. The venue itself is a little old/outdated. However, that's the appeal! The wooden framed windows panes, the hand carved wooden bar in the bridal suite, etc. The venue is very warm and comfortable. The views are amazing (even in early March) and everyone is hard at work preparing the landscape. Michael was wonderful! I feel as though I've known him for years. He was very polite and professional without being snooty or pretentious. He was very willing to work with our specific needs and obscure requests. Michael is the first venue sales rep I've spoken to that did not make me feel uncomfortable asking any questions. My concerns were his concerns. While meeting with Michael Tyler served us penne a la vodka, followed by a dessert sample platter. He was a very professional young man and the food was delicious. Needless to say, we will be getting married at The Beach Club Estate next year! Thank you again Michael, Tyler and the rest of the Beach Club family.

My fiancé and I met with Uncle Frank yesterday. I don’t think we have fully processed how unreal our experience was. From the second we met him we felt like he was a relative we hadn’t seen in a while. Uncle Frank was warm, easy going, and made us feel like having a beautiful wedding was absolutely possible with our budget. His incredible energy has stayed with us and I couldn’t be happier with our decision. I am so excited to continue planning with Uncle Frank.

Attended my Sister’s wedding here. The staff was rude and the food was bland given the substantial price that we paid. She said afterwards that choosing this venue was the ONE thing she regretted about her wedding. These reviews are most likely fabricated because our experience was much different than the one’s stated here. Check out the Yelp Reviews on this place and proceed with caution.

I'm very happy I had my wedding here. All my guests had a good time and kept asking how we found this place. The most impressive parts are the beautiful pink purple sunset, the food (omg food was so good) and DJ (we actually had the owner of the DJ company and he is really good and funny. We had outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour,then indoor dinner with the sunset lake view threw the window walls and everything was beautiful. My bridal attendant Amanda is very good,nice,helpful and reachable during the whole wedding. I want to give a big complement to Michael who was half of the reason we chose here for our wedding (the other half reason is we like the place itself). Any company would be lucky to have Michael! He is marvelous!He is so pleasant to talk to and welcoming, good sense of humor too. He makes people feel very comfortable. Him being so friendly and funny makes planning a wedding much easier(you'd know the difference if you've seen some other venues,Michael is waaaaay better than them) Thank you Michael for everything you did for us:)
Yes I definitely recommend beach club estate to anyone who has a wedding under 100 guests or an event. I hope more people get to know how nice this place is. And if you go there,bring me too because I want their fooooooood lol

We were treated like family ( given the best penne a la vodka ever) and I'm pretty sure Michael was just as excited for our wedding as we are! The grounds are gorgeous and the prices you just can't beat. We booked right then and there! We are so excited for our day at the beach club!

I knew this was it when I walked in. The views are breathtaking but what matters most is how you feel when you're there. My fiancé and I met with Frank and it was like talking to family. His concerns are what we want and what will make us happy. He goes above and beyond to achieve your vision of the perfect day. After seeing a few venues and not being sold on any we thought it was going to be a hard decision weighing out the pros and cons of each, but it wasn't after we met Frank. We got the whole package. Great views, great people, great food.

This afternoon I toured the Beach Club Estate with my fiancé, Nick. Michael immediately greeted us and was very patient with us with all of our questions. The view of the lake is beautiful, and although the main room is small, it can work for our small, “cozy” wedding guest list. Michael reviewed all of the options we had, based upon day of the week and month of the year so we can stay within our budget. We also got to have a plate of penne alla vodka which was delicious! We look forward to taking the next steps of planning by speaking with our church to solidify a date and visit their expo as we anticipate making a deposit.

The minute we walked in we were greated kindly by Michael. His love for what he does showed as he took the time to get to know us before he began to share the beautiful venue. We sat down to look at pictures and discuss the menu options. Next we were pleasantly surprised with a taste of food that the venue can provide. Needless to say it was delicious and it gave us some insight of what to expect for the wedding. Michael continued to impress us with his hospitality and the banquet hall itself. We toured both venues and we were astonished with both views. We decided on their Beach Estate because it will fit our smaller sized wedding. We fell in love with the place!!! Both managers Michael and Frank made us feel like we are family the moment we stepped in. We are so excited to have our wedding at The Beach Estate on Lake Ronkonkoma! Thank you to everyone at Windows on the Lake for making the tour and wedding process stress free and exciting!
Thank you Michael,

The Beach Club Estate was the perfect location for our wedding. It was one the first places we visited and we were immediately sold! Our banquet manager Frank Amantia was so welcoming and such a gentleman. He made us feel like we were part of a family and this is what weddings are at The Beach Club; it’s a family affair.
First of all, the views are stunning, the lake is right there, which makes for a great outdoor ceremony. They have a space for an outdoor cocktail hour and the reception inside. They also had a plan B in case it rains, which it didn’t, but it always made me feel that I was going to be taken care of if that was the case. They also have a very vintage and cozy bridal suite for us to hang out with some champagne before the ceremony. After booking the site, my mom from Peru came to visit, I told Frank I wanted to take her for a tasting and he accommodated all of my requests. He always received us with a smile and made us laugh. We live and work in NYC and they were always very accommodating at meeting us on weekends and getting back to us in no time.
The day of the wedding, the service was amazing. All of our guests raved because the food was SOOO good, and the people were very nice. Our maitre’d Frankie was also very peppy and on top of things, and my bridal assistant Britney was so helpful and sweet (she put the “I Do” rhinestones on my shoes at the last minute in a few seconds). I made a special request for our cake to be red velvet and Frank did not disappoint; the cake was awesome and so so so good. We had an ice cream bar and the ice cream was one of the best I’ve ever had.
I cannot say enough good things about The Beach Club, they made my day a perfect dream and my husband and I are very grateful for it.

I had my wedding on july 3, 2012. We had about 85 guests and two different cultures. Italian and Indian. I really appreciated the fact that this venue took care of my husband who has a serious soy allergy. They wouldn't even serve him a drink if they weren't sure what was in it! I highly recommend this venue. It's beautiful, right on the water, and the best part- one wedding at a time!

We wanted a smaller wedding, and this place was fantastic. The food was soooo good, and the bridal attendant and maitre'd work really hard to make sure that everything works smoothly. There is very little that I could complain about on the day of the wedding. Most of my problems with this place was how pushy they were about their vendors. They have a list of vendors (a DJ, florist, a videographer, an officiant, etc.) that they usually work with and that they cut some sort of deal with. We did take some of those vendors, but they were very skeptical and kind of condescending about the vendors we had chosen (although they turned out to be great). I would recommend going to one of their open houses where you can meet their vendors, but more importantly you can eat their food. The open houses are at Windows on the Lake rather than the Beach Club, but I thought everything just got better when brought to the Beach Club. Lastly, if you want to do something that hasn't become the standard tradition, you should tell your Maitre'D explicitly, because they will assume that you are going to do all of the very common stuff even if you aren't. In the end, despite the small (kind of pushy) stuff this place was completely awesome and I would recommend it to anyone. Everyone who came to the wedding couldn't believe we had found such a great place.

When we first saw the Beach Club we fell in love with the outside area. It is away from the traffic, right on the lake, beautiful view. But the indoor area I think needs a bit of work, but I was able to work with it. When you first walk in it has a weird "old" smell. I booked it for April hoping everything would be outside (except for the reception of course).
Before we signed the contract they promised everything and anything, but once we gave a deposit it all went out the window. I had to argue about the cake and still ended up getting something that I did not want. The ice sculpture was nothing like what I asked for. When I emailed them it took forever to hear back or I never heard back so I had to call. Anytime we had to come in to take care of things like the menu or final payment, when I called to schedule the time and date I always received attitude from their secretary that they only do that during the week (I don’t live on the Island so it was not convenient for us to go in on weekday and my now husband was in school) and the day of the wedding I heard that 2 servers were arguing in front of my guests (really??). The only great thing is the food - that was delicious. But the headache we had before the wedding was not worth it.

From the moment we booked with the Beach Club to the day of our wedding they were amazing! They listened to every request and handled every detail perfectly. Brittany, our bridal attendant, kept a drink in my husbands hand the entire night as well as put up w/ his dry sense of humor. She had everything boxed up and packed into our limo so that once our wedding was over we didn't have to worry about anything! Frankie, our maitre'd, was also great at making sure to keep our guests happy. I would recommend them over and over again!

Don't plan anything with the Beach Club Estate at Lake Ronkonkoma. We would NOT recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. My husband and I met with "Ron" in early October and a few days later our daughter and fiancée met with him to see the location. My husband phoned Ron a couple weeks later, reminding him of our previous visit. During that phone conversation my husband asked Ron how much was required in order to secure the date. Ron quoted a “$1,000.00” deposit. An appointment was arranged for us to meet with him to finalize this agreement. We drove 6 hours from our residence for this appointment and when we arrived, we entered with no one there to greet us. While waiting about 10 minutes, we overheard a female employee cursing and speaking unprofessionally from another room, regarding a customer. Because no one appeared while we waited, my husband decided to find the woman. When he found her, she asked if she could help us and also asked if we had an appointment. My husband said, “Yes”. She indicated that she did not hear us enter and told us to wait for her in the other room. After waiting a few more minutes, she returned with a form and asked us to fill it out. However, we told her that we did not need to fill out this form, as we had completed it at our initial visit. She took the form back and told us that she would be right with us, to which we replied “are we meeting with you or Ron?” She confirmed that we would be meeting with Ron. After waiting several more minutes Ron arrived and greeted us by asking, “What can I do for you?” Surprised, my husband asked if Ron remembered who we were. He replied rudely, “I deal with about 10 people a day from all over the country and I can’t remember everyone’s name”. We reminded him that we came from out of town to finalize our agreement and make our deposit, as previously discussed by phone. We indicated that we wanted to confirm the details of the contract. We handed him our carbon copy of the form that he filled out with us at our first visit and he simply read what was indicated on the form. He did not describe or elaborate in any way. We then handed him our menu choices, which he did not want at that time. He asked which time of day and what date we requested, even though it was on the form he completed. He then left the room to find out if the date was still available. Stunned, we waited several more minutes while he was away. When he came back he told us that the location had been booked but that we could work around it. In shock, we told him we weren’t interested in another date. We reminded him that the reason we had this appointment was in order to secure the original date. At that point, he asked us how many guests we were planning for, so we referred him again to the initial paperwork and stated “50 people”. He indicated the only other option for that date was the larger room, which required a minimum of 75 people. Frustrated, we summarized our communications from day one and expressed our disappointment for how the situation was handled. Ron then said, "Look, I'm not going to be put in a frying pan," and stated, “I could just get up and walk away from this”. Instead, we were the ones who walked away, in disbelief.

They were wonderful and the people that helped us in the months leading up to and during the wedding were great. Everything was just as we wanted, well almost. The only problem we had was the cake. Tasted great and was what we wanted on the inside, it just didn't look like what we were told it would look like. It was not a big deal to us since it tasted great.

It was right on Lake Ronkonkoma. So we got married at sunset right on the water. The room our wedding was held had all open windows so you had a beautiful view. The staff was awesome!! The Beach Club Estate is an old style house, that is so romantic.;We loved the place, we have nothing bad at all to say about it. Ourselves and our guests loved it!

The wedding as well as the cocktail hour was outside by lakeside. The sunset was beautiful as well as the grounds. The staff kept everything running so smooth. The food was great and my guest are still talking about my wedding. I would recommend the Beach Club Estate again and again. Our guest said they had never been to a wedding like ours. You really feel that you are away from the world.
