View

Absolutely loved this venue, I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Jim, Laurie & Jen are absolutely amazing and went out of their way to make sure we had a perfect day. Food is outstanding and waitstaff is extremely friendly and attentive. 110% be using them going forward for any party that we have.

I cannot recommend this venue enough. Jennifer and Jim were great to work with. Our wedding was supposed to be May 2020(oops) and had to be pushed back twice until May 2022. Everyone worked so well with us during the multiple date changes and were more than accommodating. The food is awesome there and the drinks were certainly not watered down. Doing the combined package made our lives much easier since the vendors were already there for us. Everything was seamless and perfect. Guests had so much fun and the view outside of the water is unmatched. You will not be disappointed if you choose this venue.

What an amazing venue! We cannot recommend VIEW highly enough! It's a beautiful place for an afternoon wedding. No detail was overlooked, from the planning phase to executing the day of; Jimmy, Jennifer and Tara made sure that the day went off without any hiccups. They were professional, but personable and took the stress off the entire day, allowing us to enjoy our family and friends! They even anticipated needs that we didn't know we would have! If you're looking for beautiful views, incredible food and first class service then we would highly recommend using VIEW for your wedding!

Just wanted to give my highest recommendation and review of the View in Oakdale for our wedding reception/venue spot. The food was outstanding. Our guests would not stop talking about how great everything was and my wife and I were overly impressed with how amazing everything came out. Everything from the cocktail hour, to the main course, to the cake from Rolling Pin Bakery, just unbelievable. We even got to choose Surf & Turf as one of our entrees and it was so delicious! Working with Jimmy, Joe, and Jen was so easy for us as a couple. We didn't have a wedding planner, and my wife and I did everything on our own, but with the help of Jimmy & Jen, our day couldn't of went smoother and they took the burden off of us and definitely made the planning as stress-free as possible. They took the time to listen to what we envisioned the day looking like and we were fortunate enough to have the entire restaurant to ourselves since we chose a date in their off season. It was decorated beautifully for the holidays, and they even let us pick and choose which decorations to keep and which we could put away for the day. Their new outdoor space is now covered with heaters and it made for the perfect dance floor/cocktail hour spot and with the lighting and hanging flowers that we added, it was just truly magical. We cannot thank the View and their staff enough for their professionalism and the amazing experience that they were able to give us for our special day. It was worth all the wait after being postponed almost a year and a half due to COVID. So if you are an LI bride looking for a waterfront venue with amazing food & ambiance, the View is the place for you.

View was amazing. The staff, service and food were all amazing. I highly recommend them. Jim, Joe and Jennifer made the day a breeze. Thank you so much for making my daughter and daughter in law’s day so fantastic our guest haven’t stopped raving about it. Also the Photographs Bruce and Brian are fantastic. Thank you for everything

You guys did an amazing job with our wedding! Jim, when we first met you, you were so welcoming and it made us feel like we were guests in your home. We felt so comfortable at your establishment. Jen, you did an outstanding job and you were so accommodating as our maitre d’. You made us feel so comfortable. Thank you guys again for making our day perfect.

This place is AMAZING!!!! My husband and I wanted a place that was laidback with a nautical feel. We came across View and knew it was where we should get married. The entire staff is amazing to work with and accommodating in every way to personalize your day. The food is top notch and you cant beat the view. All of our guests are still talking about what a great time they had and how great the food was. I also really like that the View is not only a wedding venue but a restaurant too so we can continue to celebrate special moments there.

This is such a great venue. It's versatile, and it offers a different experience than most catering hall style venues on Long Island. My husband and I were married on 5/29/21 at View. It rained all day, but Jimmy and Jen were able to set up for our ceremony under the BEAUTIFUL new covered patio. I was so shocked by what they were able to put together for us. They also had heat lamps available on the patio that kept our guests comfortable for the whole day. The food and drinks were excellent! It even looks great in our video footage. Big shout out to Jen (maître d' at View). She was so pleasant to work with and so attentive during the reception.

So happy we booked here! Both of our 2nd weddings and exactly what we were looking for. We booked in 2019 then had to postpone due to covid- everyone was fantastic. That meant so much and their professionalism stood out. Jimmy, Joe, Laurie, Jen…. All of them beautiful people. We finally married 9/4/21 and it was a beautiful, peaceful, calm, classy event! Delicious food and good drinks in a beautiful place. From the boat ride (thanks Jimmy), to the ceremony, to the cocktail and reception…. TOP notch! Our 4 young daughters were a major part of our day and Jen made sure we didn’t have to worry about them! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day…. I wish we could do it again. Highly recommend VIEW!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue! My husband and I just got married there on 9/11 and it was absolutely perfect! This was actually the first venue we looked at when we first started planning and we fell in love right away, they had everything we wanted and more. We wanted a full cocktail party which they offered and it was done beautifully. Our ceremony was outside right on the water and we couldn’t have had better weather! We also went with all the vendors that they recommend and was not disappointed, everyone was great! Huge shout out to Jennifer the manager ,she was amazing we worked with her pretty much throughout the whole process and she made everything super easy and totally saw my vision and set up all my decorations the way I wanted, even the day of the wedding she treated me and my husband like gold!We had a day time wedding which ended at 5pm and we still got to stay after and hang out with our friends because we were all having such an awesome time and didn’t want to leave! I still get a ton of compliments on our wedding and I’m recommending this place to everyone!

View is absolutely awesome. Jimmy and Jen were so amazing to work with. Both were extremely helpful and genuine. They made our day so easy and fun. The food was incredible and the view was beautiful. If you’re looking for a laid back wedding this is your venue. Our guest are still saying it was the best wedding ever! The staff really made our day feel special and treated us like family. We can not recommend them enough!

I don’t write reviews but this place definitely deserves one! If you’re looking for a more low key wedding that still gives you and your guests the ultimate wedding feel, this place is for sure the one. We chose the view for the “view” and couldn’t have had anything better. We heard the food would be good but considering my super judge mental Italian family loved it, then you know it must be! The staff was awesome from the first day we went there. Jimmy the manager accommodated everything we asked for and Jennifer the maid tre de made sure everything was executed with no issues. You get the whole place to yourself as well which was amazing!! If we could do it again we would 1000 times!!

All the Jim Hahn, Mgr. promised and contracted he delivered. Jen, Wedding Mgr. was calm, reassuring, and knowledgeable. They had control of all details. Those of our 195 guests we spoke with raved about the location, service, food, and efficient delivery of food and drink was beyond expectations. We would do it exactly the same at View if we were to have a do over. I highly recommend picking View , especially if you want a panoramic vista of the bay. Our guests came from Europe to California and did not expect this experience.

The best wedding ever!! We had 195 guests . Jim and Jenn were fantastic from the day we booked until the reception was over. The staff was incredible, friendly, great service, the bartenders kept up with all the guests and there were a lot at the bar! The staff also got drinks and hand passed horsdevours all day. The food was incredibly delicious and tons of it. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, huge dance floor under the new and beautiful awning, deck furniture outside is beautiful. Inside tables , lots of places to sit. I really can’t say enough good things. We had an Extended Cocktail Reception - the only way to go. The vendors they recommended were also fantastic - photographer, florist and bakery! This is a wonderful place to have a wedding and a great value for the $. I would do it again!! A*********************************************

My fiancé and I had our engagement party here at View. From the moment we stepped foot there we knew it was the perfect spot. It is absolutely gorgeous inside and outside. It’s right on the water so all the pictures come out beautiful whether it’s a cloudy day or not. The food is what we fell in love with. We love our food and did not want to settle for anything basic. View has so many delicious options we went with the halibut, steak and scallops for entree and everyone loved their meal. The cocktail hour was amazing. Again the options are so yummy! The cocktails are also great. We definitely recommend this spot to host any kind of event. Another reason we chose this spot was because of the staff Jimmy and Jennifer were AMAZING they catered to our every need every step of the way. They are so sweet and know exactly how to make your party perfect. I can’t wait to have another party there. We honestly would have had our wedding here but we were not ready. We were so sad when it ended it was such a great time. Check it out!

The staff at The View went above and beyond to make sure that we were having fun, relaxed, and most importantly…well fed. We can’t thank Jimmy and Jennifer enough for all they did to ensure our special day went as perfectly as we had hoped!

Beautiful Venue. Great time. Lovely ambiance. If I could get married again I'd do it at the View! Great staff & great food. No place better to share such a special day with the people you love. Highly recommend

Me and my Fiancé just started to plan our wedding for 2021 & we went to a wedding at view last year. This is our number one venue we were crazy about. The wedding was just an all around great time! The bartenders really knew how to get the party going and that is really one of the main reasons we want to have our reception there. The food was awesome, staff great. We are really looking forward to sharing our special day with our family and friends here in the next year!

I went to view in oakdale over the summer for a wedding brunch. View staff did great at making this day special due to all the craziness going on with COVID. The view was absolutely beautiful and the food was great. I will be booking my next private event at view and I am SO excited!

I attended a wedding at the view in the beginning of September and the food & staff were phenomenal! In these times View really made their guests feel safe.

The great staff here did an amazing job of making our wedding day special. From the signature drinks to the extensive menu, everything was excellent. The staff made sure we were well fed and looked after in the hustle and bustle of taking photos, greeting family etc. We had so many people tell us that our wedding was a great time and the food was top notch. We highly recommend The View to all! - Evan & Ginny

The View exceeded all of my expectations! Jimmy was so easy to contact with any questions throughout the process and he was so calm and accommodating it totally eased all my planning anxiety. On the day of Jenn and all of the staff were AMAZING. They were on top of everything and my husband and I never didn’t have a drink or appetizer in hand. My bridal attendant also fixed my hair and dress bustle and avoided those disasters! I really couldn’t be more grateful to all the staff and servers for making my wedding the best day ever!

We had an amazing time at my best friends wedding! It was everything she dreamed of from food, wine, and service! They made us all feel so comfortable and pampered. Since we had the wedding, all of our guests have contacted us to let us know how amazing the venue was. Thank you to everyone at View for creating my best friends dream wedding.

Say "I Do" at View! My husband and I are so happy with everything about this venue. There's a true feeling of "wedding day magic" at an afternoon wedding on the water at View, as well as terrific ambiance, service, food, and value. Jimmy, Jennifer, and Courtney are top-notch wedding professionals and made us feel taken care of from the very first email/visit through the final moments of our perfect big day - that includes staying on top of every detail in our on-site ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! We also have to emphasize that the food was delicious and plentiful. One of the huge advantages in going with this venue is that they are a renowned restaurant whenever they're not hosting a wedding/event, so you can rest assured that your guests will be happy with the food and service, which so largely creates the lasting impression of the day. We can't wait to come back every year on our anniversary for an amazing waterfront dinner! Thank you so much, team at View, for making our wedding such a sweet memory for our loved ones and for the two of us.

The View’s attention to detail was beyond imaginable! The venue, the bar, the food!!!!! The food kept coming and every item was AMAZING! The customer service was superb! What a joyful experience. Thank you !

The View did an absolutely wonderful job hosting our wedding. We got married on September 21 2019, and the day truly couldn't have been more perfect. Jimmy Hahn and Jen Greig accommodated all of our requests and made the day so incredibly special. The rooms were decorated so beautifully, and the food was incredible. We could not have asked for anything more!!

We had our daughters wedding at the View 9/21/19. It was wonderful! The views are amazing! Decor is a mix of restoration hardware and coastal. The food was delish and plentiful. Carol the bartender was on top of drinks for everyone. Jimmy and Jen were amazing and took care of everything that we could just enjoy! I cannot say enough about this restaurant..... everything was perfect from start to finish.

What a beautiful Venue to have a wedding! The staff was extremely friendly and professional. The bride and groom chose a 5 hour cocktail hour with continuous appetizers that were unbelievable plus there were also stations of raw bar, sushi, carving station, etc. The food was by far the best I’ve ever had at a wedding.

Phenomenal! My wife and I were thrilled with the service we received at VIEW in Oakdale. Between the food and staff we couldn't have asked for a better day. We had a Cocktail Style wedding of about 250 people. Our dance floor was on the outside Patio where we had our band set up while the food stations were inside the restaurant. Our Family and Friends cannot stop talking about our big day even 4 months later! Thank you so much to the entire staff at VIEW! We have and will continue to recommend the VIEW as a venue for all types of events!

View Restuarant is the BEST place to have a wedding.We have to acknowledge the Manger, his wife, our awesome maitre d' & all the waiters & waitresses,they made our wedding day perfect. Our family & friends raved about the food! Our pictures on the dock are beautiful. We highly recommend View Restuarant for weddings or to just go eat,drink & enjoy the ambiance of this gorgeous restaurant. Thank you again to everyone at View Restuarant for everything you did for us. We can't wait to go back because View Restuarant is our favorite place! :)

Stunning! That was the first word that came to us when we first saw View, and it was nothing short of stunning for our wedding day! The dockside ceremony underneath the gazebo flanked by beautiful palm trees was exactly what we envisioned and the waterfront views made us and our guests feel as though they were transported to a completely different place. The food was outstanding and catered to the wide variety of dietary needs of all our guests. The drinks? Perfect! Our guests were gushing with compliments about...EVERYTHING! Jimmy, Courtney and the entire staff at View were fantastic in meeting our every needs and taking care of every detail big and small (including setting up our sand ceremony!) so that we could truly be stress free and enjoy ourselves. We look forward to returning time and time again to View with our family and friends to enjoy this remarkable place!

We got married at View April 2019 after an exhaustive search of venues in Suffolk. We were looking for something beautiful, in our budget but would also allow for the laid back fun vibe we were hoping to convey. I also have celiac’s disease and it was very important to me that the venue be knowledgeable and accommodating. I got all of that and more from the View. Jimmy, Joe (my gluten free guru) and Courtney were absolutely superb. In every meeting I felt like they understood what I wanted, took my requests and concerns seriously and executed a flawless day for my husband and I. Everything looked beautiful, tasted amazing and ran right on schedule. Thank you to everyone at View for a truly amazing day!

It's easy to tell just by looking that The View is a beautiful space, but our guests were awe struck by how perfect it looked on our wedding day. Beyond the obvious beauty of the room and the location, the food is impeccable. My husband (a professional chef) and I (an experienced and enthusiastic eater) found the execution of every dish to be flawless--not an adjective we use lightly. The scallops were seared to perfection, as was the filet mignon and all of the other delicious foods on the buffet spread. We were also impressed by the artful presentation, and our guests loved the "bonus food" that came as part of our extended cocktail reception, the perfect option to make sure our guests got a taste of every delicious morsel. However, the best part of the day was the incredible staff: from the professional, polished and friendly servers who made sure our guests never lacked for anything, and even decorated and packed up all of our favors so lovingly and carefully for us, to Courtney, who is so incredibly efficient and meticulous and unflappable that we instantly put our trust in her getting every detail right on point, to Jimmy, who made every part of the experience fun and easy--from when we found the venue to when we sat to down write the menu to when he treated us to brunch to next day, to Laurie who went above and beyond in recovering a friend's lost coat and making sure a really nice bottle of scotch we accidentally left behind got returned to us. We could not ask for better service and we are so grateful that every single detail in our special day went off without a hitch.

Our wedding on August 11, 2018 was everything we could have wished for and more! The View is a stunning venue on the Great South Bay with incredible food and impeccable service. My husband and I wanted to have a wedding ceremony outdoors on the water, and we knew we found our wedding venue after having dinner at the View and meeting Jim. He was very courteous and helpful, explaining how a ceremony and reception are handled at the View. After meeting Jim, we were introduced to their manager Courtney, who proved to be professional and consistently helpful throughout our planning phase. The day of our wedding my husband and I could not stop smiling! All of the months of planning paid off and not one detail was forgotten by Courtney! The food, bartending staff, and servers were all superb. We were especially grateful for our favorite bartender, Shannon, for making sure our signature cocktails were perfect. Throughout the reception, our guests repeatedly commented on what an incredible time they were having. They were in awe of the beautiful the views and how delicious the food and drinks were. We are so grateful that we chose the View for our special day!

We had our wedding at the VIEW and it was everything we could have asked for and more - truly a magical day. From the first day we stepped into the venue, everyone was incredible and so easy to work with. Jimmy helped us plan the wedding of our dreams by tailoring the day to our personality, and Courtney executed everything to a tee! There was not anything we needed to be concerned about the day of - they managed everything smoothly. Our family & friends still rave (a few months later) about the beautiful venue , the friendly and helpful staff, the easy access to the bar & drinks and the delicious food! Many have even gone back after for dinner on their own since then. We had a larger wedding (about 275 people), and the staff managed to keep plenty of food out and drinks flowing while logistically keeping the party flowing perfectly. We cannot say enough good things about the VIEW and the entire staff! If you are looking for a gorgeous venue with a flexible but attentive team - I would highly recommend considering the VIEW as your venue.

We just had our ceremony and reception at the View on August 18, 2018, and it was phenomenal, a true dream come true. When my husband and I were looking for a venue, from the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew this would be it. This venue gave us the intimacy, special one-on-one treatment, and hospitality every couple deserves on their special day. All staff and vendors are dedicated, respectful, and show passion for their careers in the industry, and made our day beautiful and one of a kind. I have been recommending this venue ever since we booked the wedding 2 years ago. We are so very grateful.

We got married at the View on 7/7/2018. The day was absolutely perfect! From the weather to the staff and the food. My guests are still commenting when I see them how good of a time they had. The food was nothing short of amazing. They were able to cater to my dietary needs as well as the guests and children. We did the extended cocktail reception - it was a huge hit - guests were able to eat as much as they want and had a great selection to choose from! The variety of food was fun to pick, they offer some more traditional selections but we were able to select a variety for our guests to make it more exciting then the food you may expect at a wedding. We are not fish eaters - the View's wedding menu selection was able to be flexible whether or not you loved fish - which was great and of course delicious! The View was great as we did not want a wedding factory feel, none of our guests had been to a wedding at the View before which made it that much more exciting, it is like a hidden gem. Jimmy and Courtney were amazing to work with from the moment we visited the View. We had never been to the View before our first viewing. The View was the last stop of about 11 wedding sites, it did not compare to any place we visited. Some love the nautical feel, I loved the simple elegant historical timeless feel the View has. We arrived a little early to finish pictures with family and got married on site. There was a super quick turn around time between the ceremony and cocktail hour - it happened so quick I did not even noticed the furniture being reset. The staff were amazing, and always attentive to not only to us but also our guests. My mom still comments about how she got to talk to the chef. The personal feel the View was able to offer did not compare to any other vendor we visited. And knowing we can go back for anniversaries and make the View a part of our future memories means a lot! I would recommend the view 1000% for weddings (and now for dining too!)

Our wedding at the View could not have been better. The staff was amazing, Courtney our Maitre D was so helpful, she went above and beyond to make our day perfect! Jimmy, one of the managers, was so helpful with our planning and the details of our special day! Our guests continue to rave about the beautiful location on the water, the food and how much fun the day was! We also had our ceremony at the View, we lucked out with the weather so we were able to get married outside but I was even ok with their plan B to have the ceremony inside as the location inside also had a beautiful water view as the backdrop! We were so happy with our choice to be married at the View and HIGHLY recommend it!

I had my wedding here on 7/21/18. Originally I wanted a vineyard wedding, but we ended up doing the package deal option at the View which was muchhh more affordable and SO much less stressful. At the time our deal was 100 people minimum for $14,250 (I believe price has gone up to 15k area now). This included vendors, however the vendors don't really provide that much so I did about 6k worth of upcharges between the DJ, florist, and photographer. For example: the DJ didn't include ceremony music, just reception - so I had to pay an extra $500 just to have ceremony music. But even still with 6k upcharges, I only spent about 20k on my wedding total which I personally think is amazing for how fun and beautiful it was. They only offer daytime Saturday weddings, but the daytime didn't bother me one bit. PROS: The venue itself is beautiful, the staff was great. Our wedding day went so smooth, no issues, it was the perfect day. I couldn't hear enough positive comments from my guests about the food - everyone said the food was amazing. The alcoholic drinks were strong -which I was happy about bc I've been to weddings where they water down the cocktails. The Maitre'D Courtney was efficient and helpful, she made sure everything was set up properly and running smooth. My favorite thing that the View did, day of, is that I chose not to do a reveal (first look), and to take my photos during cocktail hour. I felt a bit guilty bc I knew my bridal party/fam would then miss out on the cocktail hour food and drinks. But to my surprise as soon as we began taking our pics, during CH, the staff brought over trays of cocktails and hors d'oeuvres for everyone to snack on. I loved this bc it didn't feel like anyone missed out then on the cocktail hour bc of pics. CONS: I was a bit unhappy with how the vendors didn't include much. As I said above, the fact the DJ didn't include your ceremony music and I had to pay $500 extra just for that, is a bit ridiculous. Also, the photographer only included pics that were unedited/low res with their logo on them. I had to pay about $1,300 extra for high resolution, edited photos without the logo. Kinda bs. Also, as nice as the View manager guy Jimmy is, he wasn't very transparent with some things. He did tell us it was $500 extra to have the ceremony at the View (which is at 11:30am), but he told us multiple times we were able to use the bridal suite in the AM to get ready, and we could show up whatever time we wanted. It wasn't until the final payment, 4 days before the wedding, that they tried to tell us it was $100 an hour for the suite before 10am. The ceremony starts at 11:30am, so who the heck would be ready in an hour and a half? I think that was a bit cheap and bs on their part - we alrdy paid $500 extra for the ceremony, at that point the suite should be included. But they ended up waiving the fee for us anyway luckily. All in all, I really don't have many negatives. Our wedding was so affordable and fun, and the food was so good. The venue is so far from the typical commercial/generic catering hall and I absolutely loved that.

Our wedding was June 30, 2018!! We cannot say enough great things about View!!! View was the very first and only venue that we looked at! We knew immediately that it was the perfect place for our wedding! We wanted great food and drinks and View 100% provides that!! The nautical decor, water views, amazing staff and location are perfect for weddings! I cannot say enough good things about Jimmy, Joe and Courtney! You will be in great hands on your wedding day with nothing to worry about, Courtney does it all!!! Our guests were so impressed with the quality and amount of food at our Extended Cocktail Reception, they are still talking about it! Another highlight was the bar/drink service! The full service bar is unmatched by a regular wedding hall bar!! Our guests were very happy with all the options!! Especially the Blackberry Mojitos and Rum Punch!!! Delicious!! We love that we will be able to go back to View every year for our anniversary!!!! (And whenever we want some great food and drinks!!)

We got married on 5/26/18 here and it was PERFECT! My husband and I wanted a small intimate wedding by the water. We wanted a venue that spoke to us, had personality, and wasn't another wedding factory. We also wanted to make sure that we were the only wedding happening. We've been to so many weddings where there were multiple events and it felt less special. The moment we walked in, we looked at each other and knew this was the place! HANDS DOWN! And! It was in budget!! We're both divers and we got engaged on a beach so we loved the nautical theme that the View already had. Courtney and Jimmy were the best team! So attentive every step of the way. I didn't have a wedding planner so I called Jimmy once a week it seemed with all sorts of questions. No matter how busy he was, he always met with us and answered all questions with genuine enthusiasm! He's a BIG part of why we loved our experience here. And if it wasn't for Courtney, I don't think we would have eaten. We also wouldn't have had such a smooth day. Courtney made sure everything went well, including the ceremony and making sure people were where they were supposed to be. She definitely had our best interest at heart. Both true professionals and so nice and attentive. Can't say enough good things about this place. We're definitely coming back every anniversary. OH! THE FOOD! Everyone loved the food. The thai calamari and risotto balls were the highlight. We decided against the package because we didn't like the photographers but if you don't mind, the package is a pretty good deal!

Courtney and Jimmy made our day so special! We absolutely love The View and can't wait to come back for our anniversary dinner. Our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended! From the ceremony, to the set-up, and the food, everything was perfect. It was a pleasure working with the team there and they were able to make our dream wedding a reality.

Amazing location, excellent food and great staff! This is definitely the perfect choice if you are looking for something other than the typical catering hall feel. Wedding was in Spring 2017; Courtney and Jimmy were great to work with. The View doesnt charge extra service fees like a lot of other places so for the quality of the food and price, you cant beat it.

Katie was one of the best servers we’ve had. Open table reservation said it was a birthday. There was hair in our dinner. Katie corrected the problem ASAP. Courtney the manager on duty told Katie to put the desert on the house. Desert came, there was no candle. I approach Courtney in the office as they (her and the hostess) we’re drinking wine and on the cell phone. She explained she was sorry there was nothing in the computer stating that there was a birthday. I then showed her the reservation on my phone and the first line says my fiancé‘s birthday. She apologized and said dessert is on the house. Working in the restaurant business for 10+ years when there is hair in someone’s food at the MOD would check on the table to make sure that everything else is OK. Little did she know we were already getting comped dessert for the hair that was in the food. She said she would take care of it. Came back with champagne. What do I want champagne for? Then went back into her office. We had great service from Katie. Courtney did not handle the situation the way the MOD should have.

I will start by saying we had an amazing wedding day. If you are considering getting married at View read this review all the way through. Everyone at View is lovely- and you cannot beat the location. All of the events leading up to the week of our wedding were great. We had gone to dinner there before - when we went to inquire about the advertised wedding package and we knew immediately that this was the right place for us- on top of everything it was the right price, and it was a package including a variety of vendors, we were all in! We were in contact for 6 months before our wedding. Visiting the restaurant to eat 3 times before, and had numerous phone and email exchanges. Buyer beware- read the fine print when you sign your contract- when your final payment is due there will be extra charges, that are never discussed or explained no matter now often you are in contact or go to View. The morning of our wedding, the manager says “did anyone contact you?” I say no- he explains that the maitre D that we worked with had a family emergency and we would have another - turns out she was also managing the wedding and didn’t attend to us at all. AT ALL. We even had to ask them to move the tables for the ceremony, and a flower basket that everyone hit their head on- The empty tables are in almost every professional picture we had- you couldn't avoid them and it ruined the ceremony pictures. I would recommend NOT doing the extended cocktail as it is just a buffet. Sounds great until you see your guests standing in line holding plates waiting for the buffet that is not a "buffet" We chose the right band, the right invitations- of the vendors included in our package we loved our florist although we had to sink and additional thousand dollars in- and we loved the photographer, not the photography package, or photography company assigned to us. We didn’t use the DJ, and the limo company was just offensive and bad. In summation- this is a buyer beware. While a lovely venue they over promise and under deliver at least they did for us. It has taken us 3 months just to write this review because we were simply too upset that our wedding day was ruined because of a lack of management. We will NEVER return to VIEW- not even to celebrate our special day. Keep in mind- this review is missing so many details. So many misses, again over promise and under deliver. Sad.

Absolutely amazing! My husband and I had decided a long time ago we wanted a laid back, waterfront wedding. We had been to View Restaurant for dinner and brunch many times before and thought this would be the perfect place to say our "I do's!" We chose a brunch wedding, with having our ceremony prior to that. Fortunately, we were able to get married outside on the water in their beautiful space. It could not have been any more perfect than it was. Brunch to follow was exceptional, as it always is. Although we shared the space with another party and regular customers, I never once felt like the space wasn't totally ours. We were completely taken care of by their amazing staff and could actually enjoy our guest without feeling overwhelmed. I would do it all over again and not change one thing about our day and experience.

We had our wedding at the VIEW on August 12, 2017 which was amazing! Everything from start to finish went smoothly thanks to Courtney, Jimmy, Joe and the entire staff. Our friends and family are still raving about how much fun they had, how delicious the food was and the spectacular view. Most of them say it was the best wedding they have ever attended. We had our dance floor out on the patio which gave our 175 guests plenty of space inside to enjoy the beautiful set-up. The outside dance floor was a great idea thanks to the managers :) From the second we walked in that morning Courtney made sure we had everything we needed. Our entire day was amazing thanks to the VIEW and their entire staff!! Its a day we will never forget!

My Wedding at The View was amazing!! Everything about this venue was perfect for what we wanted for our magical day. Everything was smooth sailing from the moment we booked, through all the planning, to the wedding day itself. From the beautiful location right on the water to the impeccable service - we couldn't be happier! We couldn't thank the friendly, lively, and accommodating staff enough for their service that made our day perfect. (I was treated like a princess!) On top of everything being perfect, our pictures came out amazing!! The backdrop of every picture had the water in it, which I loved! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone who wants to get married on the water.

Jen and I got married at View on Saturday 7/8/17. Every aspect of our day was absolutely great. The staff and management made certain every detail was executed to perfection. All our guests and family had a great day as well. We are still on cloud nine!! We visited many venues prior to booking our day at View. From the initial meeting with Jimmy, I knew this was the right place for us. He suggested the wedding package for us and it was the correct choice. All the provided vendors were excellent and easy to contact and do business with. It turned out to be a fair value for the level of services provided to us by our florist, bakery, D.J, photographer and limousine vendors. We were able to tweak all our specific needs with each one and this really made the day ours. The food and service on our wedding day was top notch and plentiful. Our maitre di Courtney, ran the wedding with grace and precision. When a minor detail arose , it was dealt with seamlessly. We could not be happier with our choice of having our day at View. Save yourself time, go there first!!!

Our Wedding was Saturday afternoon August 5, 2017 at The View in Oakdale NY and it was absolutely amazing. The entire experience from months of planning up to the day of the wedding went smooth and all our anxieties were put at ease thanks to Jimmy, Courtney and the entire professional staff of The View. The day cleared that we were able to have our beautiful ceremony performed by Rev Aviva Sala who made our day so special under the gazebo with a spectacular view of the Great South Bay. We had a continuous cocktail reception and the food was outrageous. Our guests are still talking about the food and our wedding and say that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. My husband and I highly recommend this venue for a wedding any time of the year!! Thanks again to The View for making our day so special.

We can't praise View enough! Our guests are still raving about what a great time they had at our wedding and so are we. We had our ceremony, July 8th, on the deck overlooking the Connetquot River. View provided us with gorgeous water views, extensive menu options, delicious high quality food, professional and courteous staff, and a beautifully decorated dining area. It was truly a pleasure meeting with Jimmy and Courtney to plan our special day. We booked the complete wedding package. Having a list of recommended vendors made the entire planning process easy and smooth. Courtney worked together seamlessly with the staff to make our wedding day memorable and enjoyable for all.

My husband and I had our wedding there July 22nd of this year and it was the absolute best!! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and fit perfectly with our classic nautical theme I had going on!! The food was spectacular, by the end of the day all my guests where telling me how this was the best wedding they have ever attended!! If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!!

We had our wedding at the View on July 29 and couldn't have been happier with everything. New this year, the venue is offering a package deal that includes vendors for a flat rate for 100 guests. I highly recommend it. The vendors were all very professional and gave us exactly what we were told we would be getting. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The View is not your typical cookie cutter wedding venue. The location is gorgeous, even on a cloudy day like we ended up with. It's on the smaller side so if you're looking for a 200+ person wedding, you should go elsewhere as it could get crowded. But if you're looking at the 75-150 range, it's perfect. The venue was closed to the public the day of the wedding so we had everything to ourselves from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

We just had our wedding at View on July 1st, and everything was absolutely phenomenal. We initially chose View because it's our favorite restaurant and we wanted to avoid typical catering-hall food. We couldn't be more pleased with everything! The location truly couldn't be more perfect for an afternoon wedding, and our guests are still raving out our food! The View staff was wonderful to work with from start to finish, especially the managers Jimmy, Joe, and the matri'd Courtney. We dropped off all our decore a few days and Courtney went above and beyond setting everything up for us. I was blown away on the big day when I walked in to see the reception space. Courtney also really went above and beyond to help curb my stress on the big day. Everyone worked hard to see that our wedding day went smoothly, and we can't thank View enough!

Our wedding at The View was nothing short of amazing. The staff, especially Jimmy and Courtney, were beyond helpful in planning every step of the way. We dropped off all decor a few days before and Courtney and team took care of everything. Everyone RAVED about the food, and of course the view on the water. My husband actually arrived for the ceremony on boat with his groomsmen, we had our band and dance floor outside, and ended the reception with some of the groomsmen and me (the bride) jumping in the water! I can't tell you how much we loved everyone at The View, and how flexible they were with accommodating everything we wanted in our wedding.

We couldn't have dreamed of a better way to start our life together! Thank you to the team at View, great food, beverages and service with such a beautiful venue and view. We couldn't be happier.

Absolutely phenomenal! View was the perfect waterfront venue for our June wedding. From start to finish, the staff was professional and attended to every detail. Our guest raved about the food and have even been back to visit for dinner several times already. We had a continuous cocktail reception with our dance floor outside and it was fantastic. The views, food, atmosphere and staff are second to none!

My day was an absolute dream and the wedding venue had alot to do with it. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for. Jimmy and the rest of the View team were absolutely a pleasure to work with. We had our ceremony onsite and after Jimmy took us to a private island to get amazing pictures. The food was talked about for weeks after! It was a fairytale wedding!

We got married at View in July 2016 and couldn't be happier with the venue or how the day went. In addition to running a stunning waterfront venue, Jimmy and his team were amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Their efforts alone are worthy of a 5 star rating! They were amazingly accommodating, easy to work with, and even removed a few poles from the dock so our guests could be picked up for a sunset cruise on the Lauren Kristy Paddlewheel boat directly from the venue. The food, bar, and entire staff were also fantastic and I simply can't recommend View highly enough!

We got married in June of 2016, we had the most amazing wedding day! Our guests are still raving about how amazing the venue was, the best food they ever had at a wedding and the perfect signature drinks!! Jimmy was so easy to plan with, and our matra d was so amazing from the start to the end our day!! Jimmy was also nice enough to take us on his boat to the beach across the bay to take our wedding pictures in the morning.

My husband and I got married here in August 2016 and we could've been happier with the venue. Jimmy, the owner was such a pleasure to work with and the venue was beautiful. The staff was helpful and responsive and the food was beyond good. If you're looking for a venue that's not your typical "wedding factory" this is it. They only do one wedding a weekend and the view of the great South Bay can't be beat. It's a happy, warm and welcoming place. Our guests are still telling us how good the food was!

Amazing experience! While planning our wedding we visited the View Restaurant for dinner and fell in love with the venue and booked it immediately. This beautiful waterfront restaurant had everything we were looking for to celebrate our special day with family & friends. From the outdoor ceremony & cocktail hour, the delicious food and contemporary décor, the accommodating managers who went above and beyond to help us plan everything we needed to have a spectacular party. I cannot say enough about our concierge, Chase, who took care of us all day and kept the party on track with the wonderful staff and working with our outside vendors. The managers, Joe, Jimmy & Courtney were so pleasant and helpful with choosing the food and making suggestions for decorations for our Island Casual themed wedding. Jimmy even took us in his boat to the beach across the river for pictures at the little beach! A beautiful spot! We have received so many compliments from our guests about the View and the awesome wedding day we had there! We highly recommend the View Restaurant to anyone who is looking for the perfect venue for a waterfront, fine dining, wedding or any celebration!

I just had my wedding here this past Labor Day weekend, 9/3/16, and I had the best experience. Me and my husband didn't have to worry about a thing, the maitre d took care of everything for us and made us feel so relaxed and comfortable the day of. Our guests are still talking about the food and how beautiful the reception was on the water. I would highly recommend to have a wedding here!

My wedding was the absolute best day!!!!!! Every single one of my guests still talks about how it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Jimmy and everyone there couldn't have been nicer, more professional and attentive to detail. It literally is the best, most flexible place--whatever you want you get!!!!!!

The View was amazing from start to finish with planning and throwing our wedding . Jimmy, Lori, Chase, Courtney, and the entire staff were so accommodating and made the day so smooth and exceptional ! The food, decor and ambiance were 10 out of 10! We love this place and eat there all the time as well as celebrate many milestones there, are wedding just needed to be there because we knew we were in the best of hands, not to mention prime location ! Anything we wished for was granted and truly was a dream come true ! Are only problem is finding our next event to have there, but for now we will be enjoying dinner there while listening to all the fabulous entertainment the offer on Thursdays and Fridays !!! Truly best day ever for myself, my now husband and every guest that attended is still raving over how awesome the wedding was and how amazing the food and drinks were !!! Thank you to the entire staff!!!much love the new Clancy couple

This review should have been written 2 years ago. I had a very small 15 person sit down lunch for my wedding. It was a Friday afternoon in July. When calling for information months prior to my wedding, I spoke to Jim in catering. He asked what time I had in mind for my ceremony and i told him I wasn't sure what time they held the ceremonies and asked if 12 was okay. He responded rudely that he's not shutting down the restaurant for me. That should have been my first indicator. After speaking with Jim I was advised by a friend to deal with Holly only. I did and she was very nice. I ended up booking my small wedding through her. The day of the ceremony site had about 40 chairs set up when the restaurant knew we were having 15 guests. The bar tender refused to serve my father in law a drink even though there were 3 customers at the bar. My father in law said that he was part of the wedding and the bartender told him he didn't care. Our lunch was inside and they had us set up in a back corner like I wanted but the partition was never put in place. Our hostess was wonderful. Always making sure our drinks were full. We had one nasty waitress that my sister made sure never came back to my table, so we only saw her once. We had many issues with our meals, first I was under the impression that we would get an appetizer as well as salad, but it turned out that it was one or the other. Our hostess ended up giving us our salad course regardless after told her that this was not made clear. The appetizer that I chose were baked clams and they brought 2 small clams out for everyone's appetizer. The meals were terrible. Everyone received rice as a side with their entree and many of the meals were cold or overcooked. We made sure to consume a lot of alcohol since I purchased the open bar package. The one thing that was done fantastically was the wedding cake. It was very pretty and delicious. I guess I can't expect to have a great experience if I'm not blowing 30k on a wedding. I have not stepped foot in this restaurant since and I live around the corner. I would recommend the snapper inn.

This venue is great. beautiful restaurant, beautiful location, right on the water (we arrived by boat, straight to the procession!), the food is amazing, and most of all the staff is great. We did not have to worry about a thing. if you can get over being married on a saturday afternoon (the only time they do weddings) then this is the place. The only negative thing i have to say is that their bathrooms need to be renovated, they do not math the beauty and style of the rest of the venue.

We had 2 seating options and they chose to set us up indoors due to the weather which was fine. However, they didn't set the table for the proper amount of people and we continuously had to move furniture and add chairs as people arrived. The wait staff was young and a tad rude but the food was delicious! They were very well priced for the amount of food served. I would have liked to see someone from management come over considering our earlier troubles and the considerable check size but none appeared. We were left with the young servers who seemed to rush our party along and all but put our tables away after eating.

The View was amazing. We had our rehearsal dinner there and the restaurant is just so romantic, wood floors, candles, windows surrounding you with views of the water. There was 30 of us total and everyone raved about the food. Thai calamari is definatly recommended! Loved them!
