The Village Club At Lake Success

e we toured, and we locked in our date just a few days later. VCLS seemed like a perfect match for us, and we were excited to start planning our wedding with them. It became obvious throughout the planning that Barry and Amy had every detail accounted for, but they still worked with us every step of the way to ensure our wedding was exactly what we wanted it to be. Their level of professionalism and communication is top-notch, and we appreciated their willingness to work with our other vendors to ensure every box was checked. As the weeks and months rolled on approaching our date, we kept reading new reviews every week from other couples who had gotten married at VCLS absolutely raving about their experience. We knew we were in good hands, but could all these other weddings really have been that amazing??? Well, after planning everything with Barry/Amy and celebrating our wedding on 12/13/25 at VCLS, our expectations were met, exceeded, and blown out of the water. Barry helped execute the beautiful ceremony we planned with perfection, which rolled perfectly into a spectacular cocktail hour. The food and drinks at cocktail hour were incredible, as expected - their food offerings and menus were so inventive relative to other weddings we have been to, and the quality was as good as we’ve ever had. The reception and dinner service were also outstanding - dinner, dances, speeches, and most importantly partying all blended together perfectly. We also want to give a shoutout to the VCLS staff - several guests made comments to us about how great they were. We cannot thank Barry, Amy, and VCLS enough for giving us the wedding we dreamed of and could not recommend them any more highly.

knew they were in good hands.  They listened to their vision and made suggestions to help them plan the perfect wedding from the ceremony to the decor to the food choices.   The day of the wedding they could not do enough and thought of everything.  The facility is gorgeous, the food was top notch and the service was 5 star.  The guests are still raving about the wedding!!!   

From the start of our planning process to the end of the wedding, Barry, Amy, and their fabulous staff had it all under control. We added two extra things to deal with—kosher food and having a tent on the patio for the ceremony. The kosher food was handled beautifully and deliciously. Any potential tent problems were completely alleviated by Barry and the wonderful tent company, Preferred Events LI. Any emails and phone calls between Barry and the bride, groom, and the parents of the bride were answered promptly and professionally. Everything that was promised was delivered, and more. Oh—did I forget to mention that the bride is a corporate event planner who expected perfection with every detail? She appreciated Barry’s expertise and experience. A joyful experience for all!

ofessionalism and attention to detail as well as promptly responding to my inquiries. The venue is beautiful and elegant and seeing it all put together that night took my breath away. The food was exceptional, and the sushi table was a work of art not to mention delish. The service was professional and accommodating to those that had special dietary requirements which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend checking out this venue. It truly is a gem, and I could not be more grateful. Thank you to the Village Club of Lake Success for giving my daughter and son in law beautiful wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. All the best, Annette Elie

ed, we were captivated — the stunning grounds, the elegant entrance, the breathtaking ballroom, the patio, and the cocktail room all felt like a dream. The bride couldn’t stop thinking about it, and from that point on, we never looked back. Throughout the entire planning process, Barry and Amy were beyond amazing. They answered every question promptly and were flexible in meeting our needs. Every time we stopped by, we ended up staying longer just chatting with them because they were so welcoming and genuinely invested in our day. The week of our wedding, we dropped everything off and went over all the details — from our favors to our setup preferences. Barry and Amy went above and beyond, even helping with small touches like placing stickers on our favors and sending us photos beforehand to make sure everything looked exactly how we wanted. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness made us feel completely confident that the day would run smoothly. And it did — it was flawless. From start to finish, the timeline flowed perfectly thanks to how organized and attentive they were. It was a bit windy that day and we really wanted our outdoor ceremony. Barry and Amy cared a lot about our decision and let us be the last ones to choose. Amy worked seamlessly with our photo and video team so we could capture the most stunning shots on the golf course, and she even took photos and videos on her phone to send us the next day so we could relive those moments right away. After the ceremony, they had an incredible spread of cocktail hour food waiting just for us, which the groom especially appreciated. Our ballroom reveal was amazing. Barry even made sure our parents joined us to see it all together for the first time — it was absolutely breathtaking. The food was out of this world — creative, delicious, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still talking about it! The entire team was professional, efficient, and kind, and every single detail was executed perfectly. We later learned that Barry and Amy handled an issue with an outside vendor that we didn’t even know about — they took care of everything quietly so we could truly enjoy a stress-free day. It’s hard to put into words how perfect our wedding was, but we can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. Our guests can’t stop raving about how beautiful, smooth, and fun the entire day was. We are forever grateful to Barry, Amy, and the entire team at The Village Club at Lake Success for giving us the wedding of our dreams. If you’re looking for a venue that’s beautiful, organized, and filled with people who truly care — this is it. We would recommend The Village Club at Lake Success 1000 times over.

we owe it all to the incredible team — Barry and Amy, who made every single detail flawless from start to finish. Our decor was created by the genius team @ Lawrence Scott Events. From the very first meeting, Barry and Amy treated our family like their own. Their organization, creativity, and commitment to excellence were unmatched. They listened, guided, and offered expert advice every step of the way — from early planning and vision boards to last-minute details the night before. Their communication was seamless, their responsiveness unmatched, and their passion for what they do shines through in everything. The day itself was pure magic. Every moment flowed effortlessly — from getting ready in the morning to the final dance. Barry and Amy orchestrated the entire event with such precision that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were able to be fully present and truly enjoy every second, inlcuding the After Party. The bride and groom didn’t miss one moment of their day — and to wake up the next morning to a message from them saying “It was the best night of our lives” says it all. The venue itself is elegant, warm, and perfectly set up for a celebration that feels both grand and personal. The staff went above and beyond, the food was exceptional, and the service was impeccable. We cannot recommend The Village Club of Lake Success highly enough. If you want a wedding that exceeds every expectation, surrounded by a team who cares as deeply as you do — this is the place. 10 out of 10 in every way!

ine. My husband and I held a ~290-person multi-cultural wedding — Chinese, Filipino, and American, which came with many considerations.
Barry and Amy were flexible and worked with us on specific requests: curating the menu to appeal to our guests’ tastes (more seafood and fruit), family-style dinner approach, ensuring our menu-placecards were placed exactly as we intended, squeezing in a receiving line, etc. They even understood last-minute changes to the guest-count (like the day before!). We didn’t hold the Tea Ceremony at the venue, but that was an option. Misc. tips and callouts: - Ask about exclusive vendors and budget for those required - Hold a rehearsal meeting WITH Barry & Amy so they know how the day should go (important especially as they handle vendor coordination on your behalf) - Guests are not allowed on the lawn as it’s a private golf course so communicate that ahead of time or else they’ll get reminded the day-of, which didn’t create the most positive guest experience who were just looking to take beautiful photos. Overall, the Village Club was beautiful, spacious, well-air conditioned (our wedding was in July), food and drinks were great according to our guests; we’d recommend this venue to anyone!

e to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process. He answered our calls, texts and emails right away and was genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. The outdoor ceremony was picture perfect and the transition of guests from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to after party was seamless. Barry, Amy and their entire staff couldn't be nicer and we are so appreciative of their hard work. We highly recommend the Village Club and we will definitely treasure all the memories of our daughter's special day!

r wedding. We could tell during the tour that Barry was an expert at what he does and he made us feel excited and taken care of right away. Throughout planning, he answered our questions so quickly and easily and we were always welcomed to stop by the venue and see the new renovations they made or just see the place we fell in love with again. We loved that we were the only event being held there that day and the guests loved that they were able to get outside during cocktail hour to take pictures in front of the stunning golf course. It unfortunately rained on our wedding day, but Barry and the team set up a beautiful indoor ceremony for us and so quickly turned it over for the reception. Our guests keep telling us it was such a beautiful and magical wedding! The food was also beyond incredible!! From the tasting to cocktail hour to dinner and dessert, we enjoyed every last bite and know our guests did too. Harrison’s parents are vegan and they were easily accommodated. Amy helped me with all my bridal needs from getting dressed to driving us out on the golf cart to the bridge for pictures in between downpours and always making sure I had what I needed and wanted. We are so grateful we got pictures outside!! Barry and Amy are an incredible team and run such smooth, gorgeous weddings! Our ceremony started a little late due to transportation delays and Barry and Amy both made sure we had our full time with our band and guests during the reception. We hope one of our friends get married here in the future so we have the chance to come back!!

of the room, and service from the staff were incredible!

From the planning process to the big day itself, they were incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and genuinely invested in making our wedding special. Amy even saved the day by helping with an issue with my dress just before the ceremony—something I’ll never forget! The level of service throughout the entire day was exceptional, and everything ran so smoothly thanks to their attention to detail and calm, confident coordination. If you’re looking for a full-service venue with a beautiful setting, amazing staff, and thoughtful touches throughout, we can’t recommend The Village Club at Lake Success highly enough. Thank you to Barry, Amy, and the entire team for making our day unforgettable! -Rachel and Jake

. My husband and I knew this would be our venue right away and all our expectations were exceeded. We are getting non stop texts and call from our guests raving about our wedding. Not only are the grounds and venue stunning the food was to die for. A thank you will never be enough to express our gratitude but thank you Barry, Amy, and all the staff for providing us with the perfect wedding from start to finish! Jenna and Jon-Luc Monteforte

ngs at the Village Club. Choosing to have our wedding at the Village Club was a no brainer; it's hard to beat perfection! Barry and Amy truly made our dreams come true. They are an incredible team, whose attention to detail and organization were an integral part of what made our day run so smoothly and stress free. Through the whole planning process, they were helpful and easy to reach, always with a detailed answer for my various questions! On the day of the wedding, they were by our side, attending to each and every one of our needs, whether it be organizing the escort cards, making sure we were fed and hydrated or helping my husband change out of a very sweaty tuxedo shirt.. Sorry Amy! But that is truly the dedication you receive when working with Amy and Barry. The venue itself is spacious and elegant with tasteful decor and multiple rooms for different stages of the evening so that guests can mingle comfortably without having to see what's happening behind the scenes. The bridal suite was comfortable and large, accommodating both hair and make up, getting ready photos, and later, our ketubah signing. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and we were so lucky to be able to take pictures outside (ask about the bridge!). Lastly, the food is phenomenal. We used their kosher catering option and the food was so good, most of our guests didn't even realize it was a kosher wedding. Even 4 weeks out from the date, we're still getting calls from friends and family telling us that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! We truly cannot recommend the Village Club enough!!

ations and was truly a dream come true. We can’t thank Amy and Barry enough for everything they did to make sure our wedding was absolutely perfect. They go above and beyond and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Leading up to the wedding they were so responsive, answering all of our questions extremely quickly and provided some great recommendations. On the day of, they made sure everything ran smoothly. From the moment we arrived to get ready at 9am to keeping us on our timeline all day and everything in between, we were in great hands. Having Amy with me all day on the day of the wedding was truly a gift – she is amazing and does it all. She saved the day figuring out how to bustle my dress with safety pins when some of the strings were not holding up – my bustle stayed perfectly all night dancing! While this would normally stress me out, Amy made me feel totally at ease. And while she bustled me up, Scott and I were able to enjoy all of the incredible apps they brought up to the suite along with our signature drinks. We lucked out with an incredible sunset the night of our wedding and Barry was on the lookout for it making sure we went outside at just the right time to get photos which look unbelievable. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing our wedding was. Some of them said it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended and many were blown away by how the party didn’t stop all night and the dancing began immediately after the cocktail hour. When we first booked with Barry he promised us that he’d maximize the time on the dance floor and he definitely delivered and our guests noticed. And last but not least, we received so many compliments on the food, especially the fried chicken & waffles which Barry and Amy highly recommended we select during our tasting. They won’t steer you wrong! We couldn’t recommend The Village Club more!!! Thank you again for making our wedding so perfect and memorable. We wish we could do it again!!! – Nicole & Scott

was possible. From the second the bridesmaids got to the venue at 9 am to making sure we were on our timeline and getting us down the aisle - everything was meticulously planned and executed, even as plans and timelines changed throughout the day- they were working with us the entire time and again, affirmed our trust in them to make the night flawless, which it was. Every party there is guaranteed to be amazing with Barry and Amy running it, and they personalize everything to a Tee so that no single party is the same or even similar. Amy even went out of her way to buy a mini easel for a sign that I wanted on the bar. They go above and beyond and it did not go unnoticed by both us and our guests. I cant say enough incredible things about this venue!!!!! Thank you for making our dream night perfect!!! -Nikki and Andrew

l as relaxed and stress free as Barry. From the moment we booked through the end of our wedding day Barry was always available via phone and email at any time to answer questions and check in. On our wedding day Barry and Amy were beyond attentive and made sure everything was perfect! During set up, Amy realized our welcome sign was broken in the corner and she coordinated with our florist to bring some extra flowers to hide it. It looked beautiful and we wouldn’t have even known it was broken! During the night, Barry and Amy made sure we always had a drink in our hand so we never had to go to the bar, brought up a sampling of all our cocktail hour food to the bridal suite to make sure we ate and had a few minutes to ourselves and kept the night running perfect and smooth. Anything we needed or wanted, Barry and Amy were right there. Amy also helped coordinate my surprise dress change keeping my second dress locked in a separate room so no one would see it and helped me change and make a second entrance! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. Having been to many weddings on Long Island we were looking for a place we hadn’t been. VCLS has the perfect indoor/outdoor cocktail hour area and the ballroom for the reception is stunning and has an outdoor area as well for guests to get some fresh air during the party. The lake on the property is also beautiful. Since VCLS only has one event at a time, we had the whole venue to ourselves, which we loved and our guests could move around throughout the venue without worrying about bumping into another party. The food was delicious and our guests are still raving about how good the food was and how much food there was! No one left hungry. Thank you so much Barry and Amy for making our day so perfect! We can’t recommend VCLS enough and will never forget our wedding day! Alissa & Jason

ved and what I have heard. #1. I was so impressed by the wait staff. Our guests did not have to wait for ANYTHING!! We were constantly offered food and beverages throughout the evening starting with the cocktail hour and continuing to the last second of the party. #2. I was so impressed watching each table being served at the same time. It is the expectation when dining in the finest restaurant that each person’s meal is delivered at the same time. This is not an expectation in a catered event and yet you did it. All I kept seeing were 10 waiters walking in a line with a dinner plate in hand and serving the table at the same time. BEYOND impressed! Many commented on this! #3. The food was five star quality. #4. The selections for dessert were over the top amazing in taste and quality. #5. My son told us that they were treated like royalty every second of the event. Thank you also for checking with me and my husband throughout the night. You made us feel as important as the bride and groom. Your staff could not have been nicer to all the guests. Like any job, when you do something day in and day out you can get bored or portray an attitude of “just another wedding" and I did not see that (and I looked for it). Each person truly looked anxious to please and invested in our event. This is not common!!! Especially today. You were both so wonderful, especially with the cake crisis. I saw Amy’s finger on her phone. I had no doubt that if my bakery did not resolve the issue she had her contact on speed dial and I would have had a cake there. I am so grateful for how you both addressed that unfortunate incident. In the end, the night was PERFECT and we were all left with memories of the most perfect wedding thanks to both of you!! 🥰

kindest most professional people I have had the pleasure to work with for this second time around wedding! They went out of their way to ensure that the wedding would be as memorable as I had hoped for.I would recommend The Village Club of Lake Success to everyone for any type of event!

my are an unbelievable team. From the start of the wedding planning all we heard was ok we can make that happen. There is never anything completely shut down that you want done. Barry and Amy take your requests or wishes give their best advice and then work with you to make it happen. There was a lot of things that became issues or stressors before the wedding and the venue was not one of them. Getting to the venue the day of the wedding was so exciting. Barry and Amy not only are setting up for the wedding day but they are working with the entire bridal party/ bride/groom/families and their staff throughout the entire day. It truly seems like there is more than just the 2 of them for how over the top their service is and how they pay attention to every detail. They make you feel so important throughout the planning and the day of the wedding. For example: They truly make the entire wedding day about the bride and groom. I as the bride was starting to lose steam and Barry went out of his way to get me a refreshment while Amy was standing with me. They make sure each step of the wedding day goes even better than you imagined it. Amy also is with the bride the entire day and she is truly the best person to have with you the whole time. She is the best coordinator and I wish I could hire her for all the important events in our lives. She is 5 steps ahead of you the entire day. While she is the best support and cheerleader for you she is also taking photos that she sends back to you the next day so you have some of your own. She keeps everyone on schedule and takes any issues away from you so you can focus on yourself. The food was OVER THE TOP. So many people complimented the food. They have so many options that are new/ different and creative. Their menu is very long and truly caters to everyone. Cocktail hour there was so much food and the service was incredible. The staff was nice, professional and extremely thorough. The night was so perfect that no one wanted it to end. We are so so thankful that we were able to have our wedding at the Village Club. The whole venue has been updated and continues to be adding new refreshing features every time we go. It looks amazing. All the rooms are big and the outdoor space is beautiful. They work hard and care so much about all their clients. Barry and Amy are not only unbelievable at throwing a party but they truly love and care for all their clients. They bring you in to throw your party and you leave being apart of their family. I would redo this night 1000 times if I could. I am so thankful that we were able to finally do this day after a lot of hiccups and couldn't be more thankful that they were the ones running the show.

ading up to the wedding, we were in constant communication to ensure that every detail, whether big or small, was fully accounted for and anticipated. Barry and Amy do an outstanding job of communicating prior to the event so that the wedding day runs as smoothly as possible. All morning on our wedding day it was raining - Barry knew how important it was to have the ceremony and cocktail hour outside and kept us in the loop about where he stood in making that happen. As far as the wedding itself, our guests have no stopped raving about the food and hospitality. After the ceremony, our guests made their way to the cocktail hour after being greeted with our signature drinks. The cocktail hour had endless selections, whether it be from the stations or pass-arounds. The sunset was beautiful that night, which made the indoor/outdoor cocktail hour that much more special and intimate. Amy gathered every dish from the cocktail hour and brought it up to the bridal suite for us to try, even adding our cocktail napkins with our signature drink. Amy and Barry go above and beyond to make sure that the Bride and Groom at all times feel like royalty. We appreciated how available Barry and Amy were leading up to the wedding and the day-of. We did not have a wedding planner, however Barry and Amy made sure that all vendors and coordination was taken care of. At the reception, all the guests never waited on line for a drink and we were told that all the wait-staff and team were friendly and professional. Like I said earlier, every guest could not get over how good the food was - it truly makes the biggest difference in the night. Lastly, both of us had small surprises for each other (roaming Photo Booth and Crumbl cookies at the after party) and Barry made sure to make both those moments special for us. If you’re looking for the absolute perfect venue to host a wedding, you have found the one at the Village Club at Lake Success. Thank you!! Love, Emily and Dan

and every single aspect of this process went so smoothly from the moment we booked through the last minutes of our event. The food was incredibly delicious and we've heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests. They exceeded our expectations in every way and we highly recommended!

this was the one. Planning everything on our own was a daunting task, but we are incredibly thankful for Barry’s experience. He made us feel at ease with his knowledge, recommendations, and willingness to accommodate our requests. Before our wedding day, we had only seen the Village Club on rainy or overcast days. Fortunately, the weather on our wedding day was beautiful and sunny, and the venue looked absolutely stunning. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the food was! Everyone we spoke to mentioned that the food and service were the best they’d ever experienced. When the doors opened, our guests were amazed by the sight of the stations, the taste of the food, and the warm hospitality. Amy was also wonderful throughout the entire process—kind, friendly, and always attentive to our needs. She even helped our photographer find the best spots for photos, while Barry ensured everything ran smoothly and on time. Their attention to detail and punctuality made the day seamless. What really stood out to me was how caring both Barry and Amy are. When we mentioned that some of our members flights had been delayed or canceled they showed real empathy and always made us feel supported. Fortunately everything worked out but their level of personal care really touched us. Many of our guests told us that our wedding at the Village Club was the best they’d ever attended. We really can’t thank Barry and Amy enough. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience.

the wedding or the day of. Our guests have been RAVING about the food- both cocktail hour and dinner. We want to come back for another wedding so that we can have the Chicken Milanese again, to die for. Everyone keeps telling us how much of a hidden gem VCLS is, an absolutely stunning venue. The patio for cocktail hour could not be more perfect, The ballroom is spacious and beautiful. VCLS exceeded all expectations! Our wedding was a dream come true.

ee thanks to Barry, Amy and their amazing staff. They exceeded all of our expectations. All of our guests raved about the food, saying it was the best they have ever had at any wedding. The venue is exceptionally beautiful, it was recently renovated and they did an amazing job. Our night went absolutely perfectly and we could not have asked for a more amazing wedding. We could not recommend the Village Club at Lake Success more for your wedding!! Thank you to Barry and Amy for making our night flawless and one that we will never forget. Annie and Brian❤️

ny other venues that provide the level of support and attention to detail as Barry and Amy provided us with. They anticipated every need we had - we would often think of something we wanted or needed, and it turned out that they had already taken care of it (if they hadn't already, they immediately did so). They coordinated with our vendors, kept track of the many items we brought to the venue for the ceremony and reception, helped us get photos in the best locations, surprised us with an extra pass around during cocktail hour, and so much more. No detail was missed, and they made sure that we (and our families) could enjoy our day without having to deal with many logistics. The weather on our wedding day was hot and humid and had a chance of rain, but Barry and Amy supported our dream to have our ceremony outdoors - they tracked the weather all day, and provided us with the flexibility to decide about the ceremony location much later than we would have expected. We ended up being able to have our ceremony outdoors, and it was absolutely beautiful! Barry and Amy were very supportive during the planning process in addition to the day of the wedding. The food was amazing and Barry and Amy again went above and beyond in allowing us to make minor changes to the menu offerings. We truly cannot say enough good things about the venue - it's beautiful and Barry and Amy are unmatched in the level of service they provide. Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed of. We will be recommending the venue to everyone we know!

h an impression on me that it was the only place I ever wanted to get married. Barry and Amy made our wedding better than anything I could have ever dreamed of. The space had been beautifully updated since I first saw it 15 years ago, and having such an amazing staff to answer every single question and plan every detail of our day Made our wedding the best day of our lives. Guests cannot stop talking about the food, the gorgeous venue and how every single detail went by so smoothly. I hope one day I can go back to this venue as a guest because every single guest said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Thank you Barry, Amy, and the entire VCLS team

onsistent communication, and made no request too challenging. The ceremony was planned for outside on a beautiful day that turned drizzly, and the chuppah had already been built on the patio. Barry created magic and moved everything inside in an hour for the most beautiful and intimate ceremony we could have imagined - all while we took photos and were none the wiser. We believe it a blessing in disguise. Barry and Amy are masters of scheduling and service. In addition to the bride and groom, we as parents felt cared for. In fact, wherever we turned, if we needed anything, Barry was there. He is a professional who notices what needs to be noticed. My husband and I agree that the wedding of our oldest daughter was the best night of our lives. And the efforts and expertise of Barry and Amy helped make it so. They have our highest recommendation.

guests at our wedding and they met everyone's needs and wants perfectly. Barry, Amy and their team handled every last minute issue with seating or table arrangement issues exceptionally. There was MORE than enough room for our guests to feel like they can move around and dance because the layout was handled so perfectly. They always offered advice if we could not make a decision on our own and guided us through the whole wedding process beautifully. Barry never beat around the bush and you can always trust his honest opinion and communicated with us and all the vendors at any and all times. Amy always made sure my wife and I were always in the right time and right place during the night and guided us through it all. My wife and I really love Barry and Amy. All of our guests stated they have never been to a wedding with such exceptional service and genuine kindness shown by the staff. The food was AMAZING. They offered so many options and cocktail hour and the reception dinner was a hit with all of the guests. I highly recommend The Village Club at Lake Success to anyone looking for wedding venues just to have the pleasure of working with these wonderful people. Thank you Barry, Amy, and the VCLS for making our night a night to remember. We cannot thank you enough
