The Surf Club on The Sound

ve, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless. As someone raised in a family of chefs (including my father), I’m extremely particular about food—but the culinary experience here blew us away. The fresh pasta was divine, and the steak? Absolutely unreal! Every dish was crafted with care, flavor, and artistry that even my toughest critics (aka my family) raved about. And the venue itself? Breathtaking. The elegant ambiance, paired with stunning waterfront views, created a magical backdrop for my girls special day. If you’re planning an event, look no further. The Surf Club on the Sound delivers on every level—stellar service, exceptional food, and a setting that wows. Huge thanks to Jaime for making our celebration unforgettable. We’ll be recommending this gem to everyone!

initially looking at vendors, we met with Rick, who was professional, kind, and accommodating. Throughout the planning process, he was available to call or email if we had any questions or needed to make any changes. On our wedding day, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Bre and Paul. Bre was my bridal attendant and was there for me throughout the day. She made sure I was hydrated and fed and even cleaned the bottom of my dress after it got muddy from taking photos. Paul was our maitre d' and did a fantastic job caring for us and our guests. He ensured the reception ran smoothly and guided us every step of the way. There are so many wonderful things to say about the Surf Club. Coming from an Italian family, where food is the most important thing at an event, I can say it was exceptional. Six months later, family and friends still tell me this was the best wedding they've ever attended.

pond to any questions we had. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour selection, the views and the venue itself. It has a stunning fountain, grand foyer and staircase. The grand ballroom comfortably seated our ~360 guests. We highly recommended Surf Club to any couples looking for a venue for their wedding reception!

eless, and beautifully maintained. The food was absolutely incredible, with our guests raving about it long after the night was over. The overall atmosphere was magical, with the perfect mix of sophistication and fun. A special shoutout to Jaime, our event coordinator, who was an absolute dream to work with. He was so easygoing, attentive, and responsive to all my questions, even over text, which made the planning process so much smoother. Jaime’s professionalism and dedication ensured everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to truly enjoy our special day. If you’re looking for a venue that combines amazing food, a gorgeous setting, and impeccable service, look no further than The Surf Club. I can’t recommend it enough!

was responsive, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Rick the banquet manager answered all of our questions and was incredible! We never had to worry about a thing! The food was amazing and everyone loved our cake! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and elegant spaces that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The attention to detail was evident, and every corner was beautiful! I wish we could do it all over!! I can’t wait to get all of our professional photos and video back to see it all again! Our day-of coordinator, Bri, was a true gem. Her professionalism and organizational skills ensured everything went smoothly. She was always one step ahead, managing the timeline and making adjustments as needed without us ever feeling rushed or stressed. The Matre’d was equally impressive, overseeing the flow of the evening with grace and ensuring our guests were well taken care of. Thanks to the incredible support from the entire team, we were able to fully enjoy our special day without a hitch. If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty, excellent service, and a supportive team, the Surf Club is the perfect choice. The price was extremely reasonable considering the location and everything that was included! Thank you thank you thank you for helping us create unforgettable memories!

ng Island sound. Jamie, our event coordinator went above and beyond to make our wedding day the most special moment of our lives. He always made sure that every detail of our reception was to our liking and his insight was very valuable to us. He is also very flexible and encouraged us to contact him if we ever had any questions, concerns, or ideas for our wedding reception. He also recommended all of our vendors, which made the planning so much easier and smoother. The photographer & videographer, dj, and catering that he recommended were phenomenal and they were also very flexible and easy to get in touch with. Brianne, my bridal attendant, was super sweet and she made sure me and my husband were comfortable throughout our wedding reception. Also, the grand ballroom and the ground level was immaculate! The chandeliers were stunning and there was plenty of room for my guests to dance and move around. When I entered the Surf Club, drove by the fountain, stepped through the front doors, and saw the grand piano with the staircase and beautiful chandelier, I immediately fell in love and knew to have my reception here. My makeup artist, the dj, and the vendor for my favors even told me that they either got married at the Surf Club or knew people who got married there and they also loved it! Overall, I would highly recommend this venue! Timeless and classic!

d his full attention, he was great! He was very accommodating and made all of our requests happen! We had Rick as our maître d and Brianna as my bridal attendant and they are a true dream team! Everything ran like a well oiled machine! Brianna helped me feel so calm throughout the day. She was so sweet and made sure we were drinking water and eating throughout the day! She also got my dress bustled quick! The food was amazing, from cocktail hour, to dinner and then to dessert- the food was consistently delicious and plentiful! Our guests raved about the view, the food and the drinks! All in all it was an absolutely perfect day!

ble. He accommodated us with every request we inquired on. Our guests RAVED about the overabundance of the food, especially during cocktail hour and how amazing it all was. The views of the sound were a big plus! We had our ceremony in the upstairs indoor chapel and it was the most beautiful space for 180 guests. The staff and service during the reception was top notch. The Surf Club also worked so well in accommodating our vendors. We would not have changed one single thing from our wedding. Look no further!

day and willing to give us everything we wanted and more. The venue is beautiful, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the staff was attentive and efficient. We also added the Viennese hour which I would recommend to anyone. There was an abundance of dessert that our guests enjoyed and were even given containers to go home with.

to do delicious espresso martinis and mojitos as signature drinks. The Viennese hour was also amazing and has almost every dessert you can think of. The penthouse ballroom and cocktail hour space are beautiful and allow for such a great flow of the evening in terms of how they are situated. There are many beautiful indoor and outdoor spots for photos, we did our first look and all of our photos there. They are so accommodating for whatever you need. Unfortunately, we needed to knock off one star because on the night of the wedding, our maitre'd Paul was surprisingly rude and unhelpful to multiple guests. Everyone else at the Surf Club provided amazing service, so this was very out of the ordinary. Special shoutout to our bridal attendant Andrea and our banquet manager Rick for being amazing!

d was incredible. SO. DAMN GOOD. We received so many compliments from guests about the cocktail hour, main courses, and Venetian hours. I still dream about the food tbh. The venue itself is gorgeous. Perfect for photos and creating such an aura of grandeur. The team who helped us was organized and supportive, Knowing exactly when to call us and when to pull as away. Everything was timed well. We had an issue with seating (my fault) but they handled it while I was signing my marriage license (thank you!!). I got married in June 2023 and chose the indoor ceremony room - beautiful and ideal for any type of weather. Jamie was so kind in answering my thousands of questions and I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else.

sn't too much organization. Our guest were not guided to the cocktail hour after the ceremony had concluded and we were not told ahead of time that the mens changing room would be unavailible (because they needed to use it for the wedding after ours) and that all of our belongings would be crammed into the bridal room and make things very tight and inconvenient. The bathroom in the bridal room was broken so everyone from the bridal party had to walk out to the guest restrooms. But perhaps the most irritating part of all was during the ceremony there was a member of the staff on the second floor near the cocktail area just laughing loudly and nonstop during the very important moment of vow exchange. I think its pretty straightforward to have your staff be respectful to your clients, especially at such a critical moment. Everyone that served us was at least very friendly and the location is stunning, but it was those few but crucial things that put a sour taste into our mouths.

eautiful, the food was delicious with tons of variety. Our guests LOVED it. Breann, my bridal attendant was AWESOME. Didn't have to worry about a thing. Everyone had a great time ❤️. We’re so happy we chose the Surf Club and highly recommend it if you're looking for a wedding venue.

es however we knew Surf Club was the one even from our first visit. The moment you drive up, you are greeted with beautiful statues and water fountains. You truly feel a European vibe and it is spectacular. Guests were gasping as they entered the venue. The staircase, reception room, LARGE dance floor, and beautiful cocktail area will blow your mind. We couldn’t have had better support, with Jaime Gizzo by our side through every step. Jaime was always available for guidance throughout the entire planning process. He was only a text message or phone call away and he always got back to me in a very timely manner. Jamie gave us great food recommendations and advice and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the most amazing night. The food was out of this world, we were stuffed the night of our food tasting, but could not stop eating. Our guests are still raving about the food- the cocktail hour stations, upgraded to the raw bar, dinner and the Viennese hour was OUTSTANDING. Surf Club also made our stunning and delicious cake. The Surf Club is a classy, elegant wedding venue and I highly recommend it to any couple searching for their dream wedding location. Thank you, Jaime and staff, for everything!! The staff was amazing especially the bridal attendant Victoria and Maitre D. They were very accommodating and attentive. It was truly a night to remember and our guests are still raving about everything!!!!! A++++++++ I wish i could give 100 stars to this venue! I attached some pictures to truly show how spectacular it is!

ighly recommeded!

ains outstanding. Jamie (who worked with our families on their weddings) was super attentive to detail and promptly responded to all my inquiries. The cocktail hour and dinner are unmatched, our guests are still talking about it. The food service was on point, everything was brought out hot and the presentation was gorgeous. Jamie and his staff really went above and beyond. For our signature cocktails Jamie made sure that all the necessary liquor/juices were ordered. We forgot to label that we brought our own champagne flutes and Jamie and his staff searched through thousands of glasses and found them! My husband and I are looking forward to go back as weddings guests!

tiful and memorable celebration that we will cherish for a lifetime. We were so impressed with the quality of the food and the impeccable service provided by your staff. You truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that all of our guests were well taken care of. Thank you again for everything you did to make our wedding day so special. We are so grateful for all of your hard work and dedication, and we would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding banquet experience

use of COVID, since my family couldn’t come here from Brazil to our wedding. Jaimie was awesome! Great customer service and we loved working with him. Victoria, my bridal assistant and Paulo, my maître d’ were exceptional! They were on top of everything, attentive to details and making sure everything went smoothly. Some of the guests told me that we had the best cake they have ever had and a lot of people told me that our wedding was the best wedding that have ever been to, so we can’t thank everyone enough for making our dream come true!

answered all of our questions. The food is amazing and many of my guests have told me it was the best wedding they've been to! Not to mention our bridal attendant Merrill, who was there for everything and very helpful the day of. I don't know where I would have been without Merrill :') It was a beautiful day and a great time.

Paul (my maitré d) was amazing to my family and I and my brid attendant (Andrea) went above and beyond for me. Staff was overall amazing. Highly recommend. (Venue is beautiful of course)

made it all happen. Michael is such a pleasure, you can tell he truly loves what he does and will make anything you want happen. He also did my parents and sister's wedding so he was delighted to see us return for a 3rd family wedding! Anthony's food is delicious.. my god. I can't say enough about how amazing the food is. We have a big Italian family and a lot of foodies attended our wedding and they were all blown away. They are still talking about it! Rick, our matradee, and Brianna, our bridal attendant, were fantastic. Request them if you're getting married there. I know everyone who gets married says they had the best day regardless of what happened but we truly had the best day, everything was PERFECT, and it was because of everyone at the Surf Club. Can't recommend the Surf Club enough. Thank you!!! -Alyssa & Tyler

us on the food, and still talk about it. All of the staff are so friendly, our maitre d and bridal attendant were amazing and beyond helpful. Jaime is so kind and always there to help with questions, start to finish our day was so smooth and beyond what I could ever have imagined. I can’t recommend them enough!

Gizzo , Rick & Brianna were very attentive as well as the staff. Cocktail hour, dinner , dessert & top shelf bar was amazing . The wedding was magical , memorable & unforgettable. Certainly a place we highly recommend. Thank You😊

ption, everything was regal. The food was plentiful and top quality. The service was top notch and the staff was so accommodating. From the very beginning, Jaime was amazing and very helpful. He guided us through the entire planning process and made the wedding planning so much easier. Our wedding was truly magical and rose above all of our expectations. We had our wedding in the large room overlooking the water and it was truly breathtaking. Rick was our Maitre'd and he assisted us through the entire night-no details were left undone. In the bridal suite, Victoria was the bridal attendant and she was the sweetest woman-so resourceful and helpful. My husband and I really felt special and couldn't have asked for a better wedding day. To Jaime and the whole Surf Club staff, thank you for making our wedding unforgettable. We couldn't be happier.

d with the beauty of the venue and the level of service provided. The general manager Michael was flexible, accommodating and answered all of our questions. The bridal attendant Breanne went above and beyond. She was over the top helpful not just to the bride but to everyone involved in the wedding. She had a calming presence and was involved in every detail of the day and was literally responsible for making the day run so smoothly. She stayed late to help us pack up and made sure that we didn't leave anything behind. She was like our own private coordinator for the day and provided old school service. You rarely see that level of service today and it felt so good to walk away from our son's wedding with no complaints and with the bride and groom and both families feeling like it was the perfect day. We cannot comment on the catering because we brought in our own kosher caterer. For catering we used Prestige catering and the food was amazing. It's also worth noting that the bar at this venue is fully stocked and the bartenders are fantastic. We have been to weddings where the parents are paying for open bar and you ask for a tequila sunrise and they say, "We don't have any grenadine." These bartenders know how to mix drinks and were very pleasant as was the rest of the staff.

thony served great food that a lot of our guests truly enjoyed and the cocktail hour was amazing! They were also accommodating during the covid times. Jaimie was our sales manager and he was great about answering questions through text. Overall, we had a such great experience!

edibly attentive throughout our planning process and made this easy for us every step of the way. People have been raving about the food, both cocktail hour and main courses. (We chose the steak, chicken and salmon dish, but honestly all their dishes were amazing!) Beautiful set up during cocktail hour and timely service of food courses coming out to ensure we had plenty of time to dance. Breann, our bridal attendant, you’re my girl. She had everything prepared before I even arrived. So attentive and detail oriented and kept tabs on us at all times. Paul, our maitre d, was awesome. He kept us aware of the day’s agenda and kept things moving very smoothly. All the staff here in general are so incredibly kind, patient and super professional. You can’t go wrong with this venue!!!

start to finish. The food was outstanding. Our guests have been raving about our wedding for weeks now and we are sure they will continue to do so in years to come. Thank you!!

dding during covid times! Lisa is beyond AMAZING. The staff is excellent, food is exceptional and this venue is gorgeous! I received countless compliments during my wedding and the following days on how much people enjoyed it. 10/10 recommend!

my husband and I. Bri, my bridal attendant, was attentive and on top of everything I asked for and even things I forgot about! The food was amazing, as usual, and all of my guests couldn't stop saying how beautiful the venue and room were.

d the dance floor was rocking. The bridal suite was gorgeous and the groom room was everything we needed. The grounds were incredible and the gazebo in back made for some great pictures for first look even during a winter wedding. The food was the best we've ever had at a wedding. I highly encourage you to add the Mozz man, which our friends are still raving about! Every station was incredible. I don't know how they are able to pull this off on such a large scale. The seated dinner might as well have been at a 5 star restaurant. So good! The staff helped to make the day and night. They were so efficient and kind to our guests. We never saw a line at the bar and our guests were certainly a thirsty bunch. They allowed us to do specialty cocktails and pick out our call liquors. Special shout out to Briana, our bridal attendant. It was like having a super hero by our sides. If the dress's bustle became unhooked, she just appeared. If we were too busy to eat or get a drink, there she was. Every question we had, she was there with her expertise. She even kept the groomsmen happy with a couple buckets of beer! End of the night Briana and the staff somehow had all of our stuff packed up and ready to toss in the car, we didn't even have to ask. She even packed us a ton of leftovers! Seriously, give the Surf Club a call. You barely have to lift a finger for a perfect wedding.

rom the second we entered the doors and always checked in with us. Jamie, thank you for being with us from the beginning of it all. Thank you for being so patience, supportive and available. We can't imagine yesterday being so magical without your guidance. Thank you! God bless each of you always! Love always, Fadi and Frocina

utiful back drop of the water- breathtaking! My bridal attendant Brianna was so helpful she truly is an angel. The hospitality was fantastic and everyone loved the food, cake and the drinks! Outstanding definitely a must to book this venue!

e was very responsive and provided exactly what we wanted a far as food, beverages and space. The bridal attendant was amazing catering to my every need that night. All the staff was amazing and so careful with all our personal decorations. Very quick to serve and clean up! We received many many compliments on how gorgeous this place is and how amazing the dinner and cocktail hour food was! Highly recommend!!!

y and friends present; however, our plans were ultimately postponed due to COVID. Throughout the process, Jaime was extremely accommodating and rescheduled our celebration multiple times as our country’s COVID situation evolved. Our plans ultimately came to fruition in July 2021 and what an event it was! Jaime provided fantastic and thoughtful food recommendations, allowing us to receive rave reviews from our guests regarding the food experience throughout the evening. The 90-minute cocktail hour complete with a raw bar, the sit-down dinner, and the Viennese hour were phenomenal. A special thanks to Jaime and the Surf Club for making our wedding dreams into a reality.

venues coordinator has been amazing. He worked with my fiancé and I all the way. He’s really amazing honesty. Very professional caring with a great sense of humor. Thank you so much Jamie; the surf club is amazing not only do you get the scenery but you get the customer service! this journey is tough with a lot of ups and downs but if you have a venue that is willing to work with you it takes a lot of stress off.

asure of working with Jaimie and he was fantastic. I will always recommend this venue. My guests were blown away from the minute they walked in. The food was delicious as well!

ful with any little question or request. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with amazing food all around (cocktail hour, main course & viennese hour) Surf Club is for you!

ledgeable, witty, great personality, good listener, communication on point. It was nothing I couldn’t ask J to assist me with during my entire process. You can only imagine how stress I was planning a wedding during Covid. Jamie was suppose to be off all of a sudden on my wedding day. I was ready to change the entire venue because I felt he was with me the entire time and for me to hear they changed his schedule and had Thursday off I was about to lose it, someone can’t help you do everything and than on the actual day they are MIA to some they won’t care but we did that’s how much I grew to have love for Jamie. I must say they made it happen and he was there for the beginning of my wedding. I must give props to Andrea as well when I tell you this girl was the best bridal/grooms attendant!!! She was by my side the entire time and a gem!! Suggestion for the surf club mgmt team If it’s a large wedding party you might want to consider having 2 attendants to avoid confusion. That is already a hectic day to avoid issue have separate attendants for the room It’s something else I’m forgetting if I remember I promise to come back and edit my review Just know the grounds are gorgeous, inside looks even better and your wedding will be talked about for years to come....people are literally still calling us about our wedding... Classy Venue Thanks Jaime and Andrea

was the Major D) Also Rick who assisted us when Sandro was out a few days. Will recommend them to the world. Thanks 🙏🏾 a million Love ❤️ always Sincerely Sandra & Orville.

ation with the Surf Club on the Sound, and unable to receive their money back from a wedding during Covid-19, please email consumerinquiry134@gmail.com.

me from big Italian families so food was extremely important to us. The food was the best I have ever had at a wedding and our guests are still talking about it 8 months later. Our bridal attendant and maitre d made sure we had everything we needed at all times and made sure everything ran smoothly. I would hands down recommend Surf Club to anyone looking for an amazing wedding venue.

s such a beautiful place with so many photo opportunities for a wedding. We worked with Jamie who is absolutely amazing. He was patient, accommodating, helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. Our wedding reception was in the Penthouse room with the cocktail hour on a balcony overlooking the water. I cannot begin to explain how beautiful everything looked. The food- OUTSTANDING. Food expectations are high to our families and the food did not disappoint! My father's friends were calling him weeks after our wedding still talking about the food. We had several people tell us that our cocktail hour was the best one they have ever been to. The Surf Club also provides the wedding cake. We brought in a picture of what we wanted and they definitely delivered, with such great detailing! We were in awe when we saw our cake the night of. We dropped off all things we needed to be set up for our wedding a few days before with instructions to Jamie and he made sure everything was set up perfectly. My bridal attendant Merrill was absolutely amazing. Paying attention to detail and checking in on me throughout the night. My dress was made of tulle and had many leaves stuck in the bottom due to taking pictures in various locations outdoors, and Merrill made sure to pick them out for me! She is a gem! Our Maitre D, Ruggerio, was outstanding as well. He had everything set up so beautifully for us. The fine details he put in everything were stunning. We are so grateful to the staff at The Surf Club for giving us such a wonderful, stress-free, unforgettable night. We really felt so special on our special night. Thank you, Surf Club!!! xoxo Chelsea and Chris

. We worked with Sandro through the entire planning process and he was so attentive, so quick to reply to our emails and calls, and so willing to answer any questions and help us acquire our vision for our wedding. Breanne was our bridal attendant and I cannot say enough good things about her. She was incredibly attentive to my husband and I, as well as our parents. It was as if she predicted what we needed before we even knew it ourselves. As if they hadn't impressed us enough, at the end of the night our shuttle company stopped running earlier than they were supposed to, leaving my husband and I, my parents, and a few other guests stranded. One of the employees from Surf Club so kindly drove my husband and I to the hotel we were staying at. The staff aside, Surf Club is a stunning venue with amazing picture opportunities. If you are getting married around the holidays, the Christmas decorations they put up look gorgeous. We have also continued to hear from our guests about how delicious the food at both the cocktail hour and the dinner were. We knew we made the right choice when we chose Surf Club, and I can't recommend it enough. Now we are just waiting to be invited to someone else's wedding at Surf Club so we can go back!

t Manager and all the staff we received excellent service from the start of our planning culminating with our wedding. Their facilities are beautiful and there was an abundance of delicious food. Our family and friends had such a great time we continue to get nothing but great feedback on our wedding to this day! Every Bride wants a beautiful venue, great food with excellent service and I received everything I prayed and hoped for through the Surf Club!
