Chris Lobello from Wedding Films, did a top notch job too!

We had our wedding here in mid-October and it was perfect. If you are like me, you may be looking at venue after venue, debating which one is the best choice. I would highly suggest choosing Nissequogue and I am so glad I did. Barry, the manager, is absolutely amazing and was so incredibly helpful each step of the way. He provided guidance on food, tablecloths, seating, and more, and was always willing to answer questions and help out. It is worth booking here for him alone. As for the venue, it is beautiful, especially in the fall, with a long winding road all the way up to the main entrance of the clubhouse. We were also able to take golf carts down to a bridge near the water and take pictures. The view from the ceremony was amazing, with the golf course and Stony Brook Harbor in the background. The food was top-notch. Barry explained that they use the same chef as they do for the clubhouse as well as the same pieces of meat, meaning the filet mignon was not your average cut. The food was great for a restaurant (not for a wedding) and would blow away any other food from other venues, especially those that have many weddings each weekend (or each day). The other important thing was that we felt the day belonged to us. They do not do many weddings so the space is intimate and private and there is a lot of attention to detail. Also, we had a private bridal attendant during the wedding, who was amazing as well. Lastly, the price was very reasonable. This is really a hidden gem! If I had to choose a venue all over again I would choose Nissequogue each time.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Barry and his team were more than exceptional going above and beyond throughout the entire experience from planning the wedding to the night and day of. Even weeks after our wedding we still receive compliments from guests and family members around the food, service and beautiful venue. We were so happy to find Nissequogue Golf Club and can’t thank Barry enough for all he did for us!

Good morning Barry,

The KPGA Board asked me to express our thanks to you and the golf staff for helping us with our golf outing. The course was in great shape. Many of our members had not had an opportunity to play your course. The course was well received by all, even though many of the scores did not reflect it. It was a great day.

Thanks again.

Stay well,
Gerry

Barry and the entire Nissequogue Team,

Carl and I cannot thank you enough for the most perfect evening and celebration!

You and your team went above and beyond and all we heard from guests was how amazing the venue and team were.

Thank you again for dealing with our rowdy bunch and giving us the most amazing memories!

Dear Barry,

We’d like to thank you once again for our daughter’s beautiful wedding at Nissequogue Golf Club. The venue and surrounds were more beautiful than ever, and the food was spectacular. You and your entire staff were awesome and everyone went out of his way to make it a special day. You exceeded our expectations in every way. Many guests told us that it was the best wedding that they ever went to!

Thanks again for helping to make it such a special day for Caroline and Mickey. We trusted you and you delivered big time! We give Nissequogue our highest recommendation to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue.

Warm Regards,
Brian and Denise O’Hea

Barry,

Once again, year after year, you and your team at Nissequogue just completely outdid yourselves!! From the early start with morning flight guests arriving at 6am, to the second group going out at 1pm and finally everyone leaving around 9pm……the entire staff was simply……….AMAZING!! Throw in a little rain and wind and it could have gone wrong quickly. I have received multiple comments from guests on how well they were greeted, the amazing condition of the course, how delicious the food was, and please don’t forget to invite me next year!! There is no better compliment.

Thanks again for all your help.

Regards,
Bert Rahm

Good morning Barry,

Lauren and I wanted to thank you and the entire Nissequogue Team for an outstanding evening and celebration. Everything was just perfect and the compliments from our friends and family are still coming in. Please share our thanks with the rest of the team/staff and let Chef know as well, that we received numerous compliments on the menu and food we served.

Thanks again,
Joe and Lauren

My wife and I had our wedding at Nissequogue and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went.

From start to finish, Barry and his staff were exceptional.

When preparing for a wedding you always hear about the stress leading up to the big day and throughout the day itself. Nissequogue provided us a stress-free planning process and an unbelievably stress-free wedding day.

Everything on the logistical side of things were expertly taken care of and provided us the peace of mind that is invaluable to any bride and groom on their big day.

What an amazing venue Nissequogue provides! Breathtaking views of the bay make for great photos and provide added entertainment for guests.
Rather than a closed-off reception hall with limited rooms and amenities, Nissequogue boasts dramatic scenic views from an outdoor cocktail party to the indoor Harbor Room and it’s magnificent windows/surroundings overlooking a beautiful oasis of golf, nature, and the water.

We have received nothing but overwhelmingly positive compliments about Nissequogue.

Barry and his staff made our big day all the more special. It will truly be a day that we and our guests will never forget.

Thank you!

Tim & Catherine Kearon

Barry,

We wanted to Thank You for making Kaela & Derek’s dream come true!

It was a difficult task to create a wedding, at this time, that did not leave everyone feeling like somehow they were shortchanged.

Nissequogue Golf Club provided the most stunning backdrop to a beautiful & memorable day…. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and you were attentive to us all in each and every way.

Kaela & Derek even commented how you were always there making sure they had everything they could possibly want or need.

I do know that I can be “difficult” when it comes to ideas and visions that I might have and I appreciate you trying so hard to accommodate me.

A sincere Thank You to you and your staff for making this a wonderful memory for all of us!

Regards,
Melissa & John Mahon

Nissequogue Golf Club made this a perfect day for our special family celebration.

Everything was amazing!

Thank you again,
Frank & Linda Bilotto

Thank you to you and the staff at NGC for a tremendous job with our daughter Emma’s Sweet Sixteen. The food was amazing, the atmosphere incredible and best of all Emma had the time of her life. Nissequogue Golf Club is truly an incredible venue, the night could not have gone any better.

Dan and Diane Cichy

I wanted to thank you for making my daughter Tina’s wedding such a memorable event. Even though we didn’t give you much time to plan for this event (two weeks) you guided and helped us make some great decisions. From the menu selection, music, floral design, your staff, everything was exceptional. Your planning, preparation and attention to detail was spot on. The wedding memories our family made at Nissequogue this past summer will last a lifetime.
Thank you so much,

Betina and Stephen Cody
PS. Our guests are still talking about the ‘Pie ice cream station ‘ and the wedding favors from Duck Donuts.

You nailed it !!!

You and your entire team were the utmost professional staff that we have worked with! You made the planning process easy and simple and you made sure that all of our little details were executed to perfection! We would highly recommend Nissequogue Golf Club to anyone looking to have a party, small or large, and we look forward to having more events with you and your staff! Thanks again!!

My parents have been so generous to me and now my wife over the years. With their 40 year wedding anniversary coming last December, I wanted to do something memorable for them. It wasn’t too hard to think of using Nissequogue to host a surprise party for them.

Working with Jack Albright and his very professional (and very friendly) wait staff, we had that memorable night. Jack made planning the evening very easy and I loved how I was given options to set the perfect menu. Using the Breakfast Room gave us our own private space and a fireplace on a cold winter night.

The attendees of the party came from as far as 500 miles away. They all loved the food, atmosphere, and, of course, the charm that Nissequogue offers. I am looking forward to having my parents’ 50th anniversary party at Nissequogue (though it will be much harder to surprise them next time!)

David Hungerford Jr.

Thanks very much to you and all of the Club Staff for last night’s dinner. The entire evening was fantastic and everyone had a great time. Please give my compliments to the chef, food was great.

David N. Altman

What a perfect night! The Club outdid itself. Fabulous food, outstanding service, and incredible ambiance; it could not have been better. It felt like we were at a very chic NYC club. Thank you Jack, Barry, Chef Joe, and everyone else who worked to create such a wonderful evening.

Thank you Nissequogue staff. The party we hosted at Nissequogue for my son’s engagement was a wonderful success in large part to the hard work from all of you. The food was excellent, the room looked beautiful, and the service was exceptional. My husband and I were pleased with our decision to have our party at Nissequogue.

Christie Donaldson

“A great big thank you to Barry and Jack for their impeccable taste and attention to detail. Our daughter’s wedding fulfilled our expectations and then some…it was absolutely perfect!”

Dr. & Mrs. Joel & Barbara King

After looking at numerous venues to host our wedding, we selected Nissequogue Golf Club for its beautiful setting, warmth and professionalism of its management and staff, and the fine food that drew raves from our 140 guests. We could not have made a better choice.

John & Annmarie Gallivan

We would like to thank Barry, Chef Joe, Jack and the entire staff for executing such a wonderful event. Our daughter’s wedding exceeded expectations and we all walked away with amazing memories. It was everything we had wished for and more. The food was superb, the service extraordinary and the place looked gorgeous. It was a truly chic and exquisite wedding and we are forever grateful.

With much appreciation,
Ann and Bob Sutter

Barry, Jack and staff at Nissequogue Golf Club,

What can I say about our experience with the club during our dual 50th birthday celebration?………spectacular! Every aspect of planning and execution was handled flawlessly by both of you and the entire staff. Your suggestions and recommendations regarding everything from tablecloths to flowers to room setup and menu were all spot on. The organization and flow of the party were handled perfectly as well.

From the beginning, the cocktail party venue on the patio was breathtaking, the food superb. The Harbor room was beautifully decorated and arranged. The bar and wait staff were friendly, efficient and professional. We felt that they were always available, yet unobtrusive-a difficult task. Once again the food was superb.

We have received so many wonderful compliments about the party and the club. As the ultimate testament to the preparation of Jack and Barry, we felt very little stress leading up to the event and actually were able to thoroughly enjoy our own party. They attended to all of the details.

We cannot wait to hold another event at the club and are eternally grateful to Jack, Barry and the entire staff at Nissequogue Golf Club for making our party an event that we, our family, and all who attended will truly never forget.

Warmest regards,
Eileen and John Labiak

Dear Mr. Perlman,

As part of the Long Island team from the MGA, I want to thank you, your board and everyone at Nissequogue Golf Club for making our day with you very special. Everyone on your staff was professional and friendly. The golf professional and his staff made us and the players feel at home as well. The wait staff and in fact everyone I ran into made us feel welcome. Also, thank the chef and his staff for wonderful food and service. Being that my son is your assistant superintendent, I wound be remiss in not mentioning the great job Jeff and his staff did in preparing the course. You are fortunate to have him and please thank him for us.

Many thanks again,
Tom Taylor
