Windows on the Lake

rything within their power to make your special day the best day of your life. The management team (Michael, Danielle & "Uncle" Frank) worked with us for over a year to accommodate every request we had to make this day the day we envisioned. THEY ARE FABULOUS! We had some pretty unique ideas in the execution of our wedding - they worked with us on every aspect. A big deal breaker for us was the participation of our dog, Max, in the ceremony. When other venues said we could bring our dog for an outside ceremony, but if it rains, he's not allowed inside; and as luck would have it, the weather was horrible on our wedding day, but WOTL stepped up and moved the whole event inside and our pup/son Max made a grand entrance during the indoor ceremony. While on the topic of the big day, we can't forget to mention the staff, including Charles & Chelsea, who literally saved me from having a mental breakdown 20 minutes before the ceremony. I am a bit of a control freak and was formerly an event planner and decided to be groom & wedding planner. Despite the lack of a wedding planner, Charles stepped up as maitre'd and took the reigns when I needed him to make the day go off without a hitch. And Chelsea, our attendant, was literally waiting in the wings every time we needed something. It was utterly amazing how FABULOUS they made our day! A couple of things for couples looking at WOTL to consider: - Single Event Venue: We were the only event happening and that makes a huge difference when the staff (who did I mention are FABULOUS?) are strictly focused on your event. - FOOD, FOOD & MORE FOOD: Seriously, our guests are still talking about how much food we had (this was the basic menu w/ no additional packages) and the quality of the food is utterly FABULOUS! - Price Points: The rates are very competitive with Long Island wedding venues; we believe we actually got a larger and higher quality wedding for less money versus what we would have paid at some of the other venues we toured where we would have gotten less and been one of many events happening at the same time. - Vendor Package: We absolutely loved the photographer & videographer that came as part of the WOTL vendor package. The quality of their work is FABULOUS! In regard to the DJ/Entertainment company, we worked with a music director to create the soundtrack to our big day versus the DJ choosing the music to play. We provided pre-mixed music sets & protocol to follow throughout the reception. Not only did they agree to use our music protocol, but they did it with zero flaws! FABULOUS! We did have a slight issue with the limo service, however, and this is not a reflection on WOTL as you work directly with the limo company in the planning. Be aware there is a mandatory gratuity for the car service that takes the happy couple home after the wedding and an extra "overtime" fee for the shuttle bus service to take all your guests back to the hotels if you run even one minute over your contract expiration. Other than that, the drivers were great and on time for everything. All in all, we had a FABULOUS wedding and WOTL will always hold a special place in our heart as the ones who played a major role in this milestone event in our lives! THANK YOU! XOXOXO

we chose Windows on the Laks.

it to get married here in 11 days!

perience was simply the best and we can't thank you enough. We couldn’t think of a better venue for our big day. Looking forward to coming down Thursday for the showcase!!!

. We were told that we cant see Beach Club Resort because there was a wedding happening at the time. We were greeted by friendly staff and "uncle Frank" was the friendliest. we were even served a delicious lunch and was able to confirm the food does taste good there. Although we wanted a date in Oct, I was also considering a winter wedding so my sister from out of town can be in NY all week during winter recess. Despite the folder and the website encouraging to ask about winter specials. I could not get any information on that. Uncle Frank gave me a package for Windows on the Lake that holds a minimum of 125 people. Told us i can hold the date for a monetary amount and i have 3 days to make up my mind. I spoke to my groom who is in Florida for the week for his grandmothers 50th wedding anniversary. He said it "all sounds great but it is hard for me to commit without seeing it in person." I respected this because it is his day too. I called "uncle Frank" back to tell him, the grooms decision. I told him, he want to see the venue in person but is out of state, u don't have to hold the date for 2 more days. He informed me there was another couple he needs to call back because they want the day. I said thats ok, we also wanted to see the beach resort as initially planned to compare. He said you know its the same price right? i said nothing about price but it accommodates smaller parties which is what we wanted. Instead of saying let me pass you to some one who can see u when he's back in town on a day the beach club resort is available for viewing. "Uncle Frank" became dismissive, brushed me off, rushed me off the phone before i can even ask for a new date to come in with the groom or ask new questions i had regarding high chairs and other minor details. The venue is beautiful, the food taste great and i had every intention of coming back with my groom to compare both locations and make the decision thats best for us but unfortunately the night and day reaction i had with "uncle Frank" turned me off. Felt like he was being disingenuous the day before and the moment i temporarily removed my deposit, i got the cold shoulder. As a bride, if you want 100 people, u should not have to round up an extra 25. If you're considering a winter wedding, those qs should be answered. If a website promotes "different packages" and then someone tells you everything is the same price as if money was your issue, it is dishonest and rude. I thought i was building rapport with a friendly guy but really he was just a good salesman. Although I love the venue and wanted to return with the groom, the trust was broken. Cant do business there. the 3 stars are for the aesthetics and the food.

dly and accommodating manner. It was a such a pleasure to work with everyone there. The food was delicious starting with the cocktail hour. The dinner was delicious as well! The servers were sweet, friendly and always wore a smile. The band played music that kept everyone dancing all night. The reception room was spacious and beautiful. The only one tiny little thing that is keeping me from giving all five stars is cars going by during the actual outdoor ceremony which of course they have no control over, but still disturbing as I was speaking. All in all I would highly recommend this venue to many future brides and grooms. Thank You Windows on The Lake for making my job even more of a pleasure than is already is.

ning- they assured me that I didn’t need to worry about anything and they really came through on that promise! I didn’t have to lift a finger the entire night. They treated us like family and genuinely just wanted to see us happy. Our guests have been texting me all day about how amazing the food was last night, and from what I got to eat I agree!! Everyone was on the dance floor ALL NIGHT (their house DJ is so worth it!), my bridal attendant Chelsea was INCREDIBLE, and everything was organized, ran smoothly and on time, and was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Windows on the Lake for the best wedding day we ever could have asked for. I was so sad when we came back to pick our decor up and it wasn’t to do the whole day again! We love you guys!

I was 30minutes late to my own ceremony and still not one ounce of pressure or stress was felt, they adjusted everything to make sure we still got all of our special moments. My bridal attendant was amazing she made me feel so comfortable and kept the drinks coming for my husband lol. Food was great which was very important to us. Thanks again for such great service!!

he whole experience. The people that work here are genuine and really care about you. When we hit any sort of bump in the road, Windows was right there to help us sort it out. The customer service was top notch with a very open attitude and were willing to accommodate any requests we had. All of our guests keep saying how it was such a great wedding, thanks to WOTL. Also the penne a la vodka is insanely good. You get an incredible amount of food and drinks are well made, your guests will be full and happy if you decide to have your wedding here!

Despite the stress we experiences with the limo service, as soon as we arrived at Windows, the staff made the stress melt away instantly. Family members still rave about the food and the amazing cocktail hour. When I provided the favors and personal guest book items to the staff, they displayed all the items beautifully, much better than I had pictured in my head. They also allowed us to keep the flower centerpieces in their walk-in fridge because I decided to do my own flowers and did not have a cool place to keep them. All the amenities were clean and well kept. The staff continued to ensure that we did not have to think about anything else but to have fun and enjoy the night. The only thing I could say to watch for is to not use the vendors that Windows suggests to use. We were not satisfied.

were so helpful along the way and dealt with 100 calls a day and never made me feel like I was bothering them, they never said "no" either. They always figured out something and were extremely accommodating with last minute changes literally up until the time the ceremony started. I tried to find somethign to worry about or to do that day because I thought that's what brides are supposed to do and there was nothing everything was taken care of the only thing I had to do was get married. all of our guests had the best time and said the food was unbelievable and left completly stuffed! My mom wanted to me to also note that she never ever likes wedding cake and she has been craving our wedding cake baked by the on staff baker since our wedding. I also booked all the suggested vendors and that was also great! I just really had to deal with Windows and made it much easier on me. If you are looking for a beautiful stress free wedding with delicious food than Windows on the lake is the place for you.

. Danielle was amazing to work with through the entire process. When I had a question or concern she would answer me timely and honestly. She assisted me with booking the trolley even though one wasn't actually available for my date. The entire staff at Windows was wonderful to me and my husband. Sabrina my bridal attendant was nothing short of amazing. She was always right there before I even knew I needed a drink or a sip of water. Honestly, she went above and beyond for me and I don't think I could ever repay her or thank her enough for playing such a big role in my day and making it that much more memorable. My Maitre D Scott was fantastic! He made sure everything went smoothly and I was able to enjoy every minute of my day with my guests. I didn't have a care in the world that day because I knew I was in such amazing hands. My last meeting with Anthony, was awesome! He is also such a sweet heart and he follows through with his promises! Michael was amazing at making sure I was relaxed through out the entire planning process and always kept me laughing! My guests have raved about the food and the staff as well as all of the details the team at windows assisted me in executing. They say your wedding day is the best day of your life and Windows on The Lake made that statement true. You are all amazing and I will forever owe you one! They helped me book the vendors and I couldn't be happier with their work either. IV generation DJ was FANTASTIC! ADA studios and Paragon Production for photography and video made my day even better. Mark of Elegance Limousine Company was also amazing and so great to work with. The drivers and vehicles were perfect and such a pleasure to have as a part of my wedding! Erica and Diego from ADA were a blast to work with and Mike from Paragon was hysterical. They all kept things smooth and light. Just what every bride needs on her big day! James Cress Florist executed everything I asked for to a T! Again, without windows, none of this would have been possible! From the setting itself, to the staff, the vendors and just being amazing people, I couldn't be a happier bride. I love everything!!! BOOK THIS VENUE!!

setting our tour up for 6pm that Friday. We arrived a few minutes early, and filled out our paperwork. We then waited over 20 minutes before the tour started. The guy giving the tour rushed us through ("Here's the ballroom; this is our cocktail hour room. Now let's talk menu and pricing"). We were then told that our party was "too small" for the venue, and we were 'encouraged ' to visit their newest location (Beach Club Estate. We live just over an hour away from the venue, the guy even stated that he knew the town we were from, and still VERY LITTLE was done to try to get our business. We were never shown the ceremony space (even though we said it repeatedly - including in my initial discussion) and since there was a party scheduled for the location for that evening, the focus seemed to have been on that, as party-goers were arriving. It wasn't until we were pulling out of the parking lot that we spotted the ceremony space: across the street (that is very busy, and on a blind curve).

entioned a price that I knew was not true, but we decided to check it out anyway. Long story short, our contact there was incredibly "salesy" and even a little pushy during our visit/booking experience, despite constantly saying that he wasn't a salesman or "like the rest of them" at other venues. Oh, and they'll pressure you to book right then and there - he even drew a horse race track with us trying to beat out other couples for our date to drive this point home :/ The entire approach put a bad taste in my mouth, but we tried to focus on the venue and not the pitch. So putting this aside, along with all the unnecessary touching, we still decided to book because after literally sitting down at a table and asking for the price of everything we wanted, their salesperson sat there with a calculator, priced everything out for us, wrote that price on a sheet of paper along with the dates that this price was applicable to, and we agreed it was fair and worth the view of the lake (which is beautiful and the only reason for the 2 stars.) The next day, excited to have finally booked a venue, my fiance goes back (along with our mothers because they were excited and wanted to see the place) to drop off the remaining deposit. Their salesperson then decides to tell us that the price he had originally given us was a "mistake" and that it was actually much higher and he was sorry if we felt he was misleading. I thought back to when he said "most other guys out there won't want to put a price on paper because then they can't shake you down for more money at the end." Pretty much everything they said was true of the "other guys" was true about them. My only advice? Instead of trying to come off as our friend and "sell" us, just be honest. Honestly matters and no one should have to deal with unscrupulous people who want to exploit you while you're trying to plan a joyful gathering. If they had told us the "real" price upfront, we may still have booked but to have them pull a switch in less than 24 hours after booking then say "well what did you expect, getting married in September - it's expensive!" (like we're wrong for believing the price THEY gave us - which was NOT cheap) was more than we were willing to put up with. Needless to say, we got our deposit back right away and will not be booking or recommending this venue to anyone else. The core of good business is honestly in negotiations and holding true to your word. If you're going to spend "Long Island Wedding" money, you should at least trust the people you're working with.

the boxes came in with pink candles, and we noticed the night before. I told windows just to leave it like that because i didn't want to stress hours before the wedding. The next morning i walked into the venue, and there were not pink candles, they went out of their way to find us white candles. And then i cant express how good Sabrina was. An amazing young girl who makes you feel at peace, and makes it all happen for the bride. And our Maitre D ...WOW! We didn't have to worry about one thing.He was amazing! Windows on the lake made us feel like family. and treated us so good throughout the whole process up to the wedding day. I highly recommend them for a wedding or any other event.

mely friendly and inviting. He took his time showing us around and answering all of our questions. He served us lunch and the pene ala vodka was spectacular! The 3 month meeting and 2 week meetings with Michael were just as impressive. He knew what questions we were going to ask and answered them before we had the opportunity. We did a Star Wars themed wedding and everyone was fully on board with this and made it exactly as we envisioned. Sabrina, our Bridal attendant, went above and beyond even changing her hair style the day of the wedding to that of Princess Leia's from the movie! We did not ask this of her. She did it on her own to make our day that much more special. She never left our side and was very attentive to our needs. Matthew our Maitre d' was extremely organized and kept us all on schedule starting with the rehearsal and then again throughout the evening on the day of our wedding. He was extremely patient with all of us and made sure things ran smoothly. Our guests raved about the food both at the cocktail hour and at the reception itself. Our glasses(the bride and groom) were always full and we never even had to pick our heads up to look for someone to get us a drink. Sabrina helped us pack up and check the bridal suite to ensure we did not forget anything at the end of the night. "Uncle Frank" performed our ceremony and made our vows exactly what we wanted. He personalized our ceremony and paced it well for us as we asked. We requested short and sweet and he gave us EXACTLY that.

in love with! Beautiful place and the price can't be beat which includes their off season inclusive package! We can't wait to have our wedding here next December!

we were looking for and Michael went out of his way to explain every detail so we felt completely comfortable every step of the way. The venue itself is gorgeous and the food we tasted was outstanding! I cannot say enough great things about our experience! We are so excited to celebrate our special day here!

gs that I really hate is when business people try to be my friend. I am trying to sign a contract to pay a specified amount of money for your service, I have friends, I don't need you for that. Michael is the perfect example of this and is incredibly friendly and will feed you, but then pressure you to book the venue and be incredibly vague and unclear about the price. Recently, we signed a contract (and quickly voided it) with him in which he added over 2,000 dollars to a contract after we had signed it. Keep in mind, we are on a budget and were extremely clear that we feasibly could not book the venue unless we got X price or less (which we had from another venue and told him). He guaranteed it, then changed the contract after we had signed. He then proceeded to act friendly on the phone when I called to complain. So my complaint can be summed up pretty simply, don't be my friend, be a transparent business man as you so boisterously claim to be. If you are on a budget and want a clear outline of what this wedding will cost you, DO NOT go here.

have a gorgeous venue, but when all was said and done, I am glad that we didn't go with it because the horror of dealing with these unprofessional people is not a stress I want in my life. Where do I even get started on Michael? What a piece of work. He likes to vocally brag about how transparent he is in comparison to other venues, which is the funniest part of this whole ordeal because of all the venue we looked at he was certifiably the LEAST transparent by quite a margin. We went to see him twice. The first time we hadn't seen any other venues, and he somehow talked us into putting down a holding deposit and we did cause the venue was great but the place was over our budget, as we were very clear about. A few weeks later we found a place we loved on your budget and went back to see Michael to basically say that we have to go with the other place unless he can match our price. He agreed, and immediately it seemed too good to be true. He wrote down a contract with X amount and we signed it and agreed upon it. A few days later I got a copy of the contract we had signed, and magically there was an additional 2000 charge! I called Michael and he acted so confused like he did't know what went wrong, and then said "oh right, I forgot to add the service charge." Uh, okay? Except we came to say we were going to go with a different place, and you said you'd match our price to keep our business? Then to secretly add a sum to our contract and pretend it was a silly accident, act confused, and take back the original offer? It was unacceptable! I am so glad we figured out early on that these people were unreliable and a terrible business. The beauty of their venue simply does not make up for shady business!

rs in your party that have trouble walking stairs), we went through the menu options and numbers. He provided very reasonable quotes for different dates, since we were more flexible. You can tell he really loved his job and that he really wanted to take care of us. I appreciated all the little extras (lechon, cotton candy machine, and more) and assurance was one of the reasons why WOTL was one of our top choices. The view of the lake was gorgeous + the beautiful main hall + best thing is that he shared that the carpet will be taken out and replaced with new all wooden floors + Michael's hospitality was a great combination and we placed our $1k deposit that day! We ultimately decided on another venue this weekend when I realized how important it was for me to have a more open-space concept/look. Thank you Michael for your time and generous offers!

d us with a big smile that just screamed friendly. We sat down and we're offered a plate of penne which was to die for! Michael made it so easy to sit and talk and not feel like we were being pressured into anything. He was by far the most personable person we've had the pleasure of meeting on our journey and really sold it for us! We had a 4 o'clock appointment and wound up sitting and chatting until 6! We look forward to sitting with Michael more and getting to have the wedding of our dreams

booked the same week! Also a plus that they host only one wedding at a time, so I know that all my guests will be attended and accommodated. We're so excited to be getting married here in September!

home. Michael had us laughing, crying, dancing, and smiling all just sitting at a table discussing the venue and options for our big day. It was truly a unique and amazing experience. Their passion for their venue, guests, family and the joy that they provide for all of their couples was very clear from the second we met them. The venue was beautiful and the view is breathtaking. Thank you Michael, frank and the rest of the staff for an amazing experience!!! Love, Cait, Neil & Mom

t with any questions at anytime. It is such a pleasure working with them both and we just can't wait for our day to come in June. Thank you Danielle for making this so easy and Frank for the family feeling every time we see you. It's going to be the BEST DAY EVER!!!

th. When we went to see the venue they provided us with a sample of the food as well. Which was very good!

eting, and made for us one of the best plates of penne alla vodka I've had in a long while. We're confident that we're going to have the most amazing reception here.

was our first stop, he gave us advice and things to look for when we checked out other venues. My fiance and I absolutely loved him and his energy. By the end of the meeting, my fiance was even calling him Uncle Frank. The venue was beautiful, just not what we had in mind for our wedding. There are beautiful grounds that would make a beautiful background in pictures if you're choosing to get married in the Spring/Summer/Fall (we are looking to have a Winter wedding), and there's a beautiful outside area where your cocktail could be. If you're looking to get married in a warmer season, and want an array of options for food - I would definitely check this place out. Even if you just meet with Frank, it's worth it! Thank you again Frank for all of your help!

s on top of things. All of our guest absolutely loved the food. Our December 9th wedding was amazing; thanks to Frank and his team.

rina was like magic, everytime i turned around she was there to see if we needed something. Jonathan had his finger on the pulse all night and kept everything moving smoothly. We lost our original person who was supposed to handle our account and had issue in regards to their method of billing. Be careful to make sure you have everything on paper and signed by whoever gave you your deal. I was extremely disappointed about booking an appt specifically to discuss the itemized bill with Danielle and being pushed off on Frank and them leaving him to literally be a middle man running back and forth between us and the office. Aside from that it was absolutely wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better time.

to come. I highly recommend this place. And they have an amazing staff.

do one wedding at a time. Frank made us feel so special, like we were one of his children. Anthony and Thomas were always there to answer our questions as well. They never rushed us. Jonathan and Sabrina not only took care of us on our wedding day, but they catered to our families as well. There was a small snafu when we arrived, but they more than made up for it the entire night. Jonathan kept us informed as to what would happen next. The food was delicious. My husband and I added on the Ice Cream Bar and Flaming Volcano for the dessert hour. They brought us into a separate room so that we could see it. We could not get over the presentation. All of our guests could not stop talking about it. Jonathan packed up a lot of food for us and even had the staff pack up our belongings so that we wouldn't have to come back on a different day to pick it up. We used all of the house vendors. It was very simple to plan our wedding using them. Overall, all of the Windows staff did an exceptional job at making it the most perfect day for us.

the options for our needs. We are looking forward to having our wedding there! :)

point it did become too warm but they were quick to adjust the temperature to ensure our comfort. Jonathan our Maitre D and Sabrina my Bridal attendant were the best! I would recommend them to everyone for their wedding or event..

ou are polite and charming, all in the same meeting!!! ~ You are a diamond in the rough and bring Peace to an already nervous bride/groom , thank you again- Love & Light Bobbi & Eddie R.

doing a great job at being fair with us. They were very accommodating to our needs and requests (especially a few last minute ones). Frank was easily available by phone and text and always had answers. They hands down provided the best customer service out of every venue that we visited and made it a personalized experience. The day of the wedding: We had our ceremony at a church- guests arrived to the venue with their ceremony section all set up- their staff quickly disassembled the ceremony area after I texted Frank- We had an ice sculpture with our names craved into it that came out beautiful except for the fact they misspelled my name- to be fair they allowed us to stay an extra hour for the embarrassment. We also upgraded to their top shelve open bar- which turned out to be a mistake. Several guests (about 10) reported to us (that night and afterwards) that the bartenders weren't serving several requested drinks. On one occasion one of my groomsmen came up to me and said the bartender told him that a drink he requested wasn't being served. I went over to the bar and asked for the drink- the alcohol that I requested wasn't in sight. The bartender went below the bar into a closed cabinet, opened the sealed bottle, and poured me the requested drink. We did upgrade to the top shelve about two weeks prior to the wedding so I like to think it was a oversight- but this type of mistake shouldn't happen when you're paying tens of thousands of dollars. After our honeymoon I reached out to Frank to report this- he said he talked to the bartenders who all said this didn't happen. Tough Luck- I guess? I would definitely use their venue again- the food was amazing- and the guests loved the environment. They also did a fantastic job creating a custom 5 tier cake for us which tasted great. I'm not sure that I would get the top shelve open bar- as you can imagine- I still feel taken advantage of regarding that. Overall- great place with tasty food that your guests will really enjoy. This review could have easily been 5 stars if those 2 incidents didn't happen or if I got closure on the open bar. BTW, the pictures came out great there.

e were pleasantly surprised with a taste of food that the venue can provide. Needless to say it was delicious and it gave us some insight of what to expect for the wedding. Michael continued to impress us with his hospitality and the banquet hall itself. We toured both venues and we were astonished with both views. We decided on their Beach Estate because it will fit our smaller sized wedding. We fell in love with the place!!! Both managers Michael and Frank made us feel like we are family the moment we stepped in. We are so excited to have our wedding at The Beach Estate on Lake Ronkonkoma! Thank you to everyone at Windows on the Lake for making the tour and wedding process stress free and exciting!

he grounds. We wandered around alone being finger pointed from inside where to go to the lake and grounds for our ceremony. Really. You cannot make the trip down and outside to show us your property. Sad and lazy. Coming back in I noticed how worn the floors were. And then we were held hostage by the longest sales pitch in history a second time as we continued to tell them both, separately, we were still shopping. Walking out we were exhausted, not excited. Getting into our truck we realized neither one even bothered to shake our hand goodbye when we didn't leave the deposit. Again sad. We are just glad there are so many other places to keep seeing for our wedding.

AMAZING! She was there every step of the way to make sure my dress was ok, I had a drink, I had food. She didn't let anyone up to the bridal suite without my knowledge. She was just amazing. My dress got stepped on and a button popped off, the bustle came undone and she was there in a heartbeat with a safety pin. Life saver. The whole staff at Windows catered to our needs perfectly. They are well worth the money we spent.

felt better, like this was possible to do. From the moment we entered Windows- we felt that it was going to be the place for us. From the beautiful scenery to the amazing staff they have there, it was perfect. After just a few minutes I felt like I’ve known Michael all my life and like I was part of the Windows family. He made me feel so at ease and so confident that they were going to be able to provide me with the day that my fiancé and I were looking for. They truly went above and beyond to help us, I could go on forever about how different of an experience this was than any other venue. And Uncle Frankie- I felt like he was my grandpa. He greeted us right away, referring to us as “kids” and making jokes with us immediately. He even came and sat with us while we were talking with Michael, it was like he was there to hang out and get to know us. Honestly, do yourself a favor- call Windows on the Lake, go in, take a look around, meet these people- it could change everything for you. It did for me. I can’t wait until my wedding day, I’m sure I’ll be back to give more phenomenal reviews to this group.

hey are making it easy to plan!!! My fiancé and I have been enjoying our experience since the moment we booked Windows on the Lake. Everyone has been great...we love Uncle Frank, Anthony and Janet. We booked the Vendor package and have had such a positive experience. There was never any pressure and they respect our budget. I thought I would turn into Bridezilla but the opposite has happened I am planning a wedding for 150+ and the planning has been so much fun and drama free!!!

5 stars I have ever given.

he weather channel said that rain was going to start back at 7. They knew how much I wanted to have the wedding outside, and they made it work. It was beautiful and as soon as we got back inside at 7, the rain STARTED POURING (blessings). I was a very easy going bride, and watching a lot of shows, I was prepared for things to go wrong. But it didn't. Everything was perfect. The staff was very attentive. The food was delicious. I was so busy taking pictures and talking to everyone that I didn't get to eat as much as I liked, but everything I did eat, I loved. They even gave food to go! The grounds are gorgeous. Everyone is friendly. The cake was beautiful and delicious. They were nice enough to give me an ice sculpture and chocolate fountain for free. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. Friends and family are still talking about it! I still smile when I think about it. You guys are amazing!

he fact you can add special fireworks to your event makes it even better. We have no reservations about holding our wedding here thanks to the kindness of uncle frank and the rest of the staff!

tarted to rain a little before we got there so we weren't able to use the patio. What made me feel so at ease with WOTL is that I still had the fabulous room inside for cocktail hour. Your guests still overlook the water and it's beautiful. So you have that reassurance if it rains. Right before I got married they actually added some new touches - new chairs in the ballroom, flowers in the main entryway, flowers in other places; it looks really elegant. The main ballroom is spectacular. My SO and I loved the room. the high ceiling over the dance floor makes the room appear bigger and it's painted so beautifully. The guests said how the food was so good. Their penne ala vodka is so delicious! I am GLUTEN FREE and they were more than accommodating with that need. Almost everything at cocktail hour they were able to make GF and most of the main dishes they were able to make GF. Notice my statement before how the guests all commented the food was so good - they had no idea and couldn't even tell it was mostly GF. Job well done on that. As far as my cake, my husband and I don't really like cake so I was a little nontraditional and asked for individual berry parfaits which would be GF as well. They hadn't done berry parfaits before so that was new but their baker is gluten free so she was able to understand what I wanted and make it taste good - the berries tasted so fresh. She also made me a little GF cake so I could do the traditional cake cutting ceremony - a GF cake with cannoli filling tasted amazing. They surprised me and gave me GF cupcakes on my table the day of the wedding just for me - awesome and tasty! They also couldn't do enough for me the day of the wedding! As far as the bridal attendant - she was so accommodating, so nice and catered to our needs. The maitre'd was super helpful as well. My husband is very picky with his scotch/whiskey and they kept giving him different ones to try until he was satisfied - He couldn't believe it! Things like that really made a difference with how our wedding turned out. WOTL makes you feel like royalty!

rfection. They go out of their way to make sure things are perfect. Anthony Pelligrino made sure our food selection was amazing - the guests were raving about the Food! Sabrina the bridal attendant and Jonathan the maitre' d were unbelievable - They made sure we were where we were suppose to be, well fed, and most importantly happy. This place is what other wedding venues should strive to be. Thank you for a perfect day!!!!!!!

end this place to anyone who asks about my wedding. As the bride my every need was met and I was well assured that things would go according to plan, which they did. I had many of my guest call to express how wonder and beautiful the wedding was. Knowing that all my guest had a grand ole time was well worth the cost.

and my groom happy and worry free the entire night. Sabrina my bridal attendant was super sweet and professional and helped me with my dress. My guests loved the food and loved the ceremony given by Uncle Frank. The entire staff was amazing, oh especially Danielle having to deal with our crazy seating arrangements! Couldn't have asked for a better day and so happy we decided to get married at Windows On the Lake!

dors made. Completely put me at ease. I would highly recommend them to any bride.

dn't make our guarantee. The venue was beautifully decorated and the layout was perfect for our size wedding. Cocktail hour had an abundance of food and everyone complimented the entree dinners. The Maitre'd (Frankie) and Bridal Attendant (Sabrina) went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were taken care of and having a great night. Unfortunately, despite all those wonderful things we still had a negative experience with the venue. It all had to do with one employee, Bill, we booked the venue with him. Bill promised a couple of things that he could not deliver and the venue did not honor it as well. 1) pastries and cookies were supposed to be included in the price per head but because it wasn't written on the contract the venue did not honor it and we had to pay extra per head for them 2) the outside cocktail area was going to be tented in case of bad weather, which we had, my husband called the morning of to check on it and they said they never have done that before and can't do it 3) we ended up paying the limo company extra money bc Bill said we could get to the venue 1 hour and half before cocktail hour to get pictures done. We weren't able to do that bc the venue informed us that there is a previous event before us letting out so we had to extend the limo time to cover the lull. Bottom line, venue and staff (excluding one employee) were wonderful and my husband and I would recommend Windows on the Lake to everyone.

bout choosing this place for our wedding.

and Anthony and everyone at Windows they always helped calm my nerves. The big day finally came and everything completely came together and even though it rained the wedding was absolutely perfect! Frank was also our officiant and he performed a great ceremony! Our maitre'd Frankie was awesome and our Bridal attendant Sabrina was amazingggg!!!!!! Our guests cannot stop talking about what a great time they had and about how great the food was and how much food there was! The alcoholic drinks were great, all our guests were so happy that the drinks were NOT watered down at all! The lighting for the reception was great as well! Everything was awesome, we are so glad we had our wedding at windows and we hope to attend a wedding here one day as well, as we def plan to go back! Great venue, great view of the lake, great food and GREAT STAFF! Thank you Windows on the Lake for giving me and my husband an amazing wedding we will never forget!

ly with balance information. On the day of our wedding, the grounds were breathtaking. Our guest were raving about how beautiful it was and how delicious the food was. We used all of their recommended vendors and they were amazing as well. The staff was very accommodating on the big day. If you want great food, beautiful grounds, professional staff, and an affordable wedding.. Windows is the place to go!

board, is because there were a few things promised to us at our original meeting that didn't go as planned. For example, we were promised that the street would be closed during the ceremony but it wasn't. We were told that if we did buffet, people would be dancing the whole time while tables were asked to come up and get food. Instead, the dancing stopped while tables were called. All in all it was a phenomenal night aside from a few minor issues. I would definitely recommend having your wedding here!

y couple looking to tie the knot without completely breaking the bank.

had no worries. Stephanie was my bridal attendant and she was by my side every step of the way. She was always one step ahead of me with what I needed. The venue was set up exactly how I wanted and the food was amazing! My guests loved the food and My cake came out exactly how I wanted. Thank you all for helping in making our day so special!

zing our maître d' Frankie fantastic every thing was perfect, they really cared and were so attentive I would definitely recommend them !!!!! They made our special day effortless!!💜💜💜

aring at four walls, as had seen at many other venues. The ambiance and food were great. I loved the pasta station. I am actually sorry that I had never been here before!

o him as much as it did to us. Our Maitre'D Frankie was so organized it was such a relief, we were able to really enjoy everything without any worry or headache! Everything went so smoothly it was so great! The food we already knew was going to be fantastic we went to the sunday brunch a bunch of times before our wedding.. our family was very happy with the food especially the filet mignon! The dj's from fourth generation were so much fun they made sure everyone was dancing all night. We had a blast
