We got married 11/4/23 at Soundview and had such an amazing experience with Soundview. When beginning the venue search we knew we wanted a waterfront venue with an outdoor space for the ceremony and a suitable indoor option in case the weather didn't cooperate. We fell in love with the stunning indoor and outdoor views and the fact that they host one event at a time was also a MAJOR plus for us. During the wedding planning process, Brittany was easy to get in touch with, super organized, and quick to answer any questions I had. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still raving about the food and talking about how beautiful the venue was. Diego made sure everything ran smoothly, and Taryn our bridal attendant went above and beyond helping out our photographers, and made sure my husband and I had cocktails. The entire Soundview staff went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was spectacular and we can't recommend them enough

Beautiful view of the Lon Island Sound. The venue was set up very nice. The lighting added to the overall ambiance. Service was good. Food was venue quality. And considering it was the middle of February and there was snow earlier in the day and the winds were blowing a strong chill from the north, we were all cozy and warm as we celebrated our niece's 16th birthday party

We were married here on 10-08-2023! The view is unbeatable both inside and outside of the building. They have floor to ceiling windows overlooking the LI Sound, a little private beach, and a gorgeous patio space for the ceremony. It was an absolutely gorgeous venue and everytime we had a meeting it was better than I remembered. Brittney and Diego made everything so easy for us and they were so sweet! I definitely needed a lot of help from them since I didn’t have a florist, and they did a fantastic job setting out the decor I brought. Also the food was some of the best I’ve ever had in my life! You absolutely cannot go wrong choosing this venue!

Soundview did not disappoint when it came to our wedding. The venue is beautiful the staff is attentive and very kind. The food chef’s kiss. Everyone loved the food. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would like to send a special Thankyou to Brittany and Diego thank you both so much!

Originally, my husband and I didn't want an outdoor ceremony (we didn't want weather to be a factor in our plans). Once we saw the ceremony site at Soundview, that changed instantly -and we're so glad it did! Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful, with the natural sound of soft waves and a gorgeous view of the sun setting over the Sound. The staff was nothing short of amazing. Everyone was kind, attentive, and made my husband and me feel so special on our big day. The food was also amazing. I'm still craving more of that filet mignon! The bartenders absolutely nailed our signature drinks. Planning everything was a breeze, as Brittany was always just an email away and responded in a timely manner. Diego was a rockstar maître d. Ada was the best bridal attendant I could've asked for! Thanks to them and the rest of the incredible staff, our wedding day was an absolute dream!

Went to a wedding here. The wedding was outside, it was beautiful. The appetizers and the main meal were both very good.

We had such an amazing time at Soundview for our wedding! We got married on September 30th, 2023 and our wedding size was 175 people. Brittany, Diego, Taryn, and the rest of the Soundview team made everything so easy for us. They were all so friendly and made us feel really special by going above and beyond for us.The food was incredible! Our guests are still talking about the food beginning from the cocktail hour all the way through to our desserts, including our Chipwich add-on. Props to not only the Chef, but also the workers that made sure everyone received their food timely and to their liking.The place itself was so pretty and made our day feel really romantic. It had rained the day before, as well as in the morning, and we had thought we wouldn’t be able to do our ceremony outside but the Soundview team assured us it would be no problem once the rain stopped and that is exactly what happened! Additionally. the Soundview Team carted us on golf carts down to the beach as well to capture an amazing sunset photo that magically appeared.Seriously, the wedding was nothing short of sensational. Our wedding was truly exceptional and exceeded all expectations thanks to Soundview.We are so thankful to have picked Soundview for our wedding venue, we will never forget our time there! Highly recommend this wedding venue, 5 out of 5 stars!

10/10 recommend booking Soundview for your wedding! EVERYTHING Everyone raves about in these reviews are 10000% true. During and after my wedding my guests were saying things to me that sounded like they were taken directly out of this review section. "The food was amazing" "Everything was so smooth" "This was the funnest wedding I've been to"And that's from guests who didn't even see my point of view. The staff at Soundview is BEYOND professional and experienced and just simply GREAT at their job. They're amazing. They made it so that I didn't need to think about anything. They were nimble and ready to go with making all our desires come true. They led us, our parents, and our 20 groomspeople phenomenoly that all we had to do was show up.The weather on our wedding day was on and off with rain, and they were prepared with all options and made it seamless for me and my guests. We ended up inside which was beautiful and intimate. They knew how to execute every one of my ideas, from a giant group photo with all guests, to shots for everybody, to livestreaming for our family abroad, to holding my cape as I walked around and helping take it off for my first dance, the staff made everything perfect.On the technical/financial side of things, one reason we chose Soundview was compared to other venues, their prices were reasonable and included so many perks! We especially love that they didn't have a random 22% admin fee, on top of tax and tip like so many other places. They had a long list of passed audourvs to accompany the stations. They include a cake. They also honored our original contract after some things were changed over the year. There was a server assigned to every table. They very rarely said no. And they had a great list of recommended vendors which, I suggest using (Especially Ultimate Sounds DJ!).Thank you Brittney, Diego, Taryn, Donna (amazing bartender), the Chef, and literally all the servers for being so great, positive, and happy to be partying with us. You made the night unforgettable and absolutely... Perfect! I hope someone I know has a wedding there soon because I would love to be back.To the reader: Stop thinking about it, and book Soundview now!

Soundview is not just a venue with employees, Here is a family where you feel happy and appreciated and they help you in every second of your beautiful day. Diego and Britney from day one always welcomed us with joy, affection and authenticity.They made our big day amazing a dream I had with my husband and they made it come true.The whole team is spectacular. Cordial and very professional ( Megan and bridal attendant) the venue is beautiful and the food was delicious! Thank you very much to all the Soundview family

Fantastic experience from the first moment we toured the venue. Brittney and Diego were super warm and welcoming, very helpful and went above and beyond for us. On the wedding day itself they were spectacular as was meghan our maitre d, and the entire staff. Everyone was incredibly professional and attentive, and genuinely concerned with every detail being perfect. It was a rainy morning so we were concerned about the outdoor ceremony but they had it set up outside and inside both, so it could be a last minute decision. We ended up doing it outside like we wanted and the ceremony was beautiful. Every one of our guests was impressed by everything, and they had nothing but good things to say. Food was also delicious

My son was married on 7/2/23. We had been to many nice venues on the water but after meeting with Brittany, my son and his wife knew they wanted to have their wedding at the Soundview! From start to finish, Brittany, Diego and Taryn made their wedding everything they had hoped and dreamed for! There are so many examples of how they all went above and beyond to make Steven and Katherine’s wedding day just perfect. They are truly a dream team! Our wedding guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. Brittany helped to coordinate the wedding procession so it went smoothly. When the Memorial Table pictures were left at the hotel, Diego arranged for an Uber to pick up these precious photos and deliver them to the Soundview. Taryn took care of the Bride and Groom while still managing to help our guests. She actually had to help one of our guests by sewing her broken zipper. We dropped off the decorations a few days before and the Soundview staff had everything set up for us the day of the wedding. To quote the mother of the bride, Sandy, “...family and friends were blown away by the Soundview!”.

Had a Friday wedding here. The location is amazing and with an early evening ceremony and reception immediately following, you couldn't have asked for a better setting. The sunset was spectacular. The appetizer hour was okay - food was good but I think they could have done better with crowd control. Thank goodness the 200 some odd guest were mostly family and friends lol the food was presented in a square in the middle of the room and no one could tell where the beginning or the end of the line was. It was so intimidating to some that they opted not to partake in the apps. The dinner was great, options were nice. Wife had the chicken, son had the salmon, I had the filet mignon. We all thought everything was very good. The bar...it was an open bar, but not sure if we were actually getting served alcohol. Most of the guest took advantage of the shuttle from the hotel to the catering hall. I was one of them, I was thinking - I can 'party' and not worry about driving YAY! My choice of drink for the night was Jameson's on the rocks. I'm no lightweight, but after 4 drinks I should have had a lampshade on my head lol I actually probably had at least 6 or 7 and I still was able to complete a thought lol Great to see family and friends but not sure if I'd recommend this place for any future events

Soundview is in incredible gem in Long Island. I did extensive research on wedding venues throughout the tristate and I’m so glad my husband and I found Soundview. It was perfect for an intimate wedding (90 people). The team at Soundview really are the best! Diego, Brittany, Miné and Lisa made me and my husband feel so calm every day leading up to and on our wedding day. They were so communicative and were able to answer all our questions and was flexible with adjusting anything to our needs. The food was never ending and great too! I’ve had multiple compliments from my guests about the amount of delicious food at cocktail hour and they thoroughly enjoyed the after dinner McDonald’s station that soundview provided. The view is also amazing. We had the most perfect clear skies and amazing sunset and having the ability to go out onto the beach from the venue for sunset photos is truly once in a lifetime photo opportunity. My husband and I are so happy we chose Soundview and we can’t wait to attend a wedding there one day as a guest just so we have another chance to go back. Don’t hesitant to book Soundview! You really won’t regret it :)

This is somehow hard to review because is based on what you choose to have. The bar is small and not impressive,no white glove service,food was not "WOW". Position of the location is nice, view is nice,it's a one event only location. As I said,it is based on what package you choose,but is not 5 star.
