Montauk Yacht Club Reviews

My husband and I signed for this venue very early in 2021 for a May 2023 wedding because we loved the beautiful ballroom, the lighthouse, and the views of lake Montauk. There is a sophisticated beachy Montauk vibe in this space which was exactly what we were searching for! A hidden gem of a venue in Montauk. It also gave us the waterfront vibe we were searching for. Signing 2 years in advance was simply because we LOVED the venue and knew this was the place we wanted to say “I do”. Now the venue did change hands during that time, but Kyle and later Britany were there every step of the way assuring us that our day would be perfect. The new owners also updated the space which was awesome as it gave the property the facelift it needed in time for our big day. Kyle remained on staff under the new owners and was there to answer our many emails and guide us through the transition and when Britany & the rest of the team joined they helped us plan the remaining steps and were very hands on day of to ensure it went seamlessly! Kyle was there handing us champagne & steaming my husband’s jacket before the ceremony – so supportive through the entire process! We used space upstairs in the lighthouse to get ready the day of on property which saved the headache of having to travel around - everyone was coming to us! The kitchen was able to accommodate the groom’s severe nut allergy which gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our big day and he could eat freely and have no worries about that being a factor. The food options were awesome as well! We loved the mini lobster rolls for cocktail hour – when in Montauk right?! Even though we had a VERY rainy day, Montauk Yacht Club staff set up an amazing ceremony in the ballroom by their exquisite fireplace which was a stunning focal point and was so intimate! They have the capacity to seamlessly pivot if the weather doesn’t cooperate and that’s exactly what they did for us! The property is stunning so if you do get to enjoy the outdoor patio for cocktail hour, you’ll have incredible views of lake Montauk! So many options for photos – by the lighthouse, down by the docks, on the roof deck, on the private beach… it’s a stunning property and you don’t have to leave to take photos elsewhere! We also had our afterparty upstairs in the lighthouse room which was perfect for guests. No one needed to travel in the dark or try to get cabs on a rainy day! The after-party food was what you’d dream of – mini hamburgers, grilled cheese, chicken fingers, pizza and fries – need we say more? We also love that Montauk Yacht Club functions as a resort and restaurant! We’ve already been back to dine at Showfish, the restaurant open during the season, and we’re excited for future anniversaries where we can return to celebrate! Truly a lovely day – and we can’t recommend the space & staff more (especially Kyle)! You will be in great hands.
