The village club at lake success was a fabulous venue for our weddingâin fact, many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Our guests loved the foodâit was very tasty and there was lots of it! The staff was also incredible, they accommodated the requests of our guests quickly, always with smiles on their faces. The ballroom was simply stunning and there was space on the dance floor for our 200+ guests for the hora. Barry and Amy manage to do the impossibleâthey seamlessly orchestrated our eventâincluding many transitions from a tisch and badeken, to a ceremony, to a cocktail hour, to the reception, all flawlessly. They handled the coordination with all of our vendors such that we didnât need a day of coordinator. They also had excellent vendor recommendationsâeveryone we worked with at their recommendation was amazing. You can trust them completely with your event. Reviewed on 14-12-2023

They worked with me to make sure to incorporate some of our traditions since both my husband and I are polish. Highly recommend this venue and the team !!! Reviewed on 30-11-2023

If you're in search of a remarkable wedding venue, look no further than the Village Club at Lake Success â book it immediately! I found myself in a wedding emergency situation when my original venue canceled just 27 days before the big day. Luckily, when I reached out, Barry informed me that they had my desired date available.As someone who never had a clear vision of my dream wedding day, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The venue and the staff exceeded all expectations. It was an exceptional combination of a stunning location, delectable food, and an outstanding team. Amy and Barry, in particular, are an unbeatable duo, ensuring that every moment goes smoothly and you feel completely at ease on your special day.From the moment you arrive, the grounds are absolutely breathtaking, with the ceremony space overlooking the pond and golf course â an ideal backdrop for photos.My guests had the time of their lives, and the reviews for the food and drinks were nothing short of rave-worthy. I couldn't have chosen a better venue!Barry, I can't thank you enough for putting a bride at ease who had less than 30 days to plan a new wedding.To all brides out there, if you're on the hunt for an exceptional venue, don't hesitate â head straight to the Village Club of Lake Success!Thanks so much!!!!- Dominque & Blaise Reviewed on 05-10-2023

I immediately fell in love with the VCLS venue upon my first tour. We had some ups and downs with a previous caterer, but once Barry and his Culinart team took over they truly blew us away. I was in a very unique situation, living four hours away from the venue and not knowing who my caterer would be until 90 days before my wedding. Barry answered every one of my nervous phone calls and did absolutely everything he could to put my mind at ease (whether that meant multiple calls a day, everyday). Barry is extremely knowledgeable and responsive to any questions you may have. Barry and Amy make an amazing team and created the wedding of our dreams. They understood every one of my visions and worked so hard to make it all come to life. Our guests were truly impressed with the venue and they cannot stop talking about the food or the high level of service. I highly recommend Barry and the Culinart team at VCLS to anyone. My wedding was the best day of my life, but meeting Barry was the second. Alexa and DJ Reviewed on 20-07-2023

Barry and his wife Amy are extremely good at their job! Throughout the planning process Barry was very good at communicating and answered my emails right away. They were both very attentive to me and my husband the day/night of our wedding- and also to both of our parents and got us anything we needed! Although there are some ârulesâ about where you can/cannot take photos, the venue is stunning and I never felt like I didnât get a photo in an area I wanted. Still hearing amazing reviews about the food!! Both quality and quantity! Would highly recommend a wedding here. Reviewed on 11-07-2023
Sydney Monti(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2023 We have only wonderful things to say about our wedding at The Village Club At Lake Success. We worked with Barry, who was NOTHING short of amazing, from day one. There were a few unexpected hiccups along the way, like with anything, but we felt confident moving forward and working with Barry through it all. With so many moving parts, it is so important to work with someone who crosses their Tâs and dots their Iâs, especially with a type A bride. It is so hard to picture everything coming together with so many moving parts but with the hard work of someone like Barry, it is so very possible and exceeded many of our expectations. The whole day and night went incredibly smooth, which was not what we thought whatsoever, we expected craziness and havoc, but Barry literally took care of it all, and just so effortlessly. In terms of our bridal attendant, Amy, oh my goodness, all the ladies LOVED her. Amy was superb as well. She was on top of all of us, in the best way, making sure we were all well fed and hydrated. She was our eyes, ears, brain, and SO much more. Barry and Amy together, A. DREAM. TEAM. Whoever gets Amy as a bridal attendant, you are so very lucky. We met her very early on in our planning process, and while it was not guaranteed we would have her, I requested for her specifically and I am so grateful it worked in our favor. We will forever be grateful to have worked with Barry & Amy. And as for Village Club At Lake Success, it was made to be STUNNING for our special day. It is beautiful on a regular day, but for our event, it was, (as so many people also told us) so elegant, classy, stunning, and beautiful! A day and night we will always remember.As for the food, DELICIOUS!!!! We heard nothing but GREAT things about the food from so many of our guests. Cocktail hour was AMAZING. Children, young adults and adults really came hungry and ready to EAT. The stations, pass arounds, just everything was so fresh and delicious. Our cake was just what we asked for, we went with the naked cake vibe and it looked STUNNING, so classy and tasted delish! The pass around desserts were so fun, and the enhancement NYC pretzel stand on the way out was worth every penny... Reviewed on 29-03-2023
Alyssa Spiel(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 My daughter and son-in-law were married at the Village Club in September. It was truly the most spectacular night and any planning leading up to it that involved the venue was seamless. Barry was uber responsive and on top of every single detail as we planned the wedding and of course the night of the wedding. I'm a very detail oriented person but with Barry running the show I knew that we we were in good hands. The space is perfect - not overdone at all but it exudes an elegant and warm feeling. The grounds are beautiful for pictures and an outdoor ceremony/ cocktail hour if you're in that season. I was enjoying all of our guests so I didn't have time to eat but everyone raved about the food. In addition to it being delicious and more than plentiful the presentation was spectacular. The service was excellent and I need to give a shout out to Mariana, my daughter's bridal attendant. Unfortunately Amy had covid and we missed her but again Barry was on it and Mariana worked out great. She anticipated anything that we could possibly need including making sure that our car was loaded up at the end of the evening. I can't possibly thank Barry and everyone else that worked that night enough! Reviewed on 25-12-2022

However, what really set it apart from other venues was Barry, Amy & their team. Barry immediately made us feel comfortable, he is incredibly responsive, easy to work with & goes above and beyond to make sure your day goes perfect. I had the utmost confidence in the day going as planned due to having Barry to work with. He made the process as stress-free & easy as possible.

DO M(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-04-2022 As the mother of the bride, I canât rave enough about our experience with Barry Rosenthal and the entire staff at the Village Club of Lake Success. We went to contract in July 2019 for a May 2020 wedding. Needless to say we postponed it two times. Barry worked with us through each contract revision, explaining our options, keeping us posted on protocol and when it looked like we were finally going forward, offered expert advice and guidance to deliver the most magical evening. Every question, (and there were many) was answered quickly and with complete information which allowed us to make decisions and move forward. Barryâs guidance was invaluable, whether it was how to lay out the room, menu selections or deciding whether we needed a wedding planner. Every suggestion was right on! The venue hit home as soon as my daughter and future son-in-law walked through the doors. In their words it had a New York vibe while being affordable - the brick wall, the tasteful lighting, floor to ceiling windows overlooking Lake Success and a cocktail room, The Grill Room, that was warm and inviting. The \"day of\" went as smoothly as can be expected with Amy at our side throughout, attending to every detail and ensuring we kept to the schedule. Barry of course popped in regularly to check on us and provide updates. I need to pause to shine a bright light on Amy. I was encouraged by friends to hire a separate âday ofâ coordinator. âYou canât manage without oneâ. This was one of those decisions I tortured myself about. So to bring the discussion to a close we had a conference call with my daughter and Barry. I had her ask every question she was concerned about. The decision was to depend on Amy and was that ever the right decision. We felt cared for the entire day. And now for the wedding - Each room looked as gorgeous as we had hoped. The ballroom was stunning aided by Florique Florists and lighting by Fusion. Our guests were blown away by the quality, variety, presentation and the taste of all the food. The only complaint I received several times was that the cocktail hour was so delicious that they didnât leave enough room for dinner. While there were a few naysayers afraid to order salmon because they claimed itâs never cooked properly, they were totally outnumbered by the guests who said they never had such a delicious piece of salmon. The filet was like butter and how often do you have people raving about the side dishes? Throughout the evening Barry and Amy checked in on each of us to see if we needed anything, were eating and generally having a good time. It was over way too soon and even packing up late at night was a pleasure. We were helped until both our cars were packed and ready to leave. As many say it goes way too fast. Itâs over in a blink. And thank goodness for videos and pictures because I canât wait to relive it all over again. Reviewed on 23-12-2022
Heather Segal(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-08-2022 My husband and I got married at VCLS on 8/13/22 and had the wedding of our dreams. From the onset we loved the rustic/modern elegant vibe of the venue: dark wood floors and accent brick wall in the ballroom, with the option for an outdoor ceremony, and indoor/outdoor cocktail hour (weather permitting). 8/13/22 was a beautiful day and we were able to have both our ceremony and cocktail hour outside like we had hoped for. As we wanted a bit more of this rustic feel throughout our wedding we brought in wine barrels from an outside vendor and had this as a focal point for the outdoor space of the cocktail hour. From the onset Barry assured us that this would all work out and our vision would come to life. This sure did happen and it was recognized and noted by many of our wedding guests. Barry also repurposed these wine barrels with floral arrangements from our memory table to display the beautiful dessert wedding favors that were for guests to take as they left the wedding. The many conversations, emails, questions, and phone calls with Barry leading up to the wedding truly went a long way, as our wedding day went off without a hitch and was truly perfect in every sense of the word. There were many details discussed with Barry throughout after being guests at many weddings, all which were taken into account on our wedding day (i.e- flow of the party (no lull), flow of the bar (no long lines), location of keyboard player at cocktail hour, use of signature cocktail napkins, reserved tables for ederly grandparents, reserved rows at the ceremony for immediate family etc). The night of our tasting with our parents, we spent a great deal of time with Barry and Amy walking through not only the menu for the party but all of the details for the big day. We spoke about the food (quantity, variety etc) at great lengths. We also added on a sushi bar which our guests couldn't stop raving about. They addressed all of our questions, concerns and ensured us that all would be taken care of. Barry is honest, to the point, and will tell you how it is. You can tell how passionate he is in what he does. The day of our wedding I remember arriving at the VC with my mom, mother-in-law, and sisters. Barry and Amy met us out front, and Barry was so excited to show me everything that was currently going on, how the room looked so far (table set and florals in place), the signage that was in place, the team that was putting the chuppah together, the ceremony set up etc. It was such an overwhelming moment of joy seeing the beginning of our dream wedding come to life. Barry even called me the morning of the wedding to check in and also was running small items by us prior the to the start of the wedding (set up of the wine barrels, setup of tables/chairs on the patio, setup of the hightops/ tables in the grill room etc). Barry and Amy are a hard working and dedicated team and know how to run a party. Myself, Mike and our families can not thank you enough: Barry, Amy, and the entire VC staff. For days and weeks after the wedding we received such amazing and heartfelt words from friends and family at how beautiful of a wedding it was. From the venue, to the incredible and plentiful amount of food/drinks, the dessert parade, to the flow of the party, the band, the florals and more. Months after the wedding we are still talking about and reminiscing and on how perfect our wedding was with each other and our families. We truly feel so lucky!!! Reviewed on 13-12-2022

We were lucky to have been able to have had an outdoor ceremony in November, but we were at ease knowing that our ceremony would have been just as stunning indoors as well.

donna hyman(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-08-2022 While there are many Country Club Venues on Long Island, there really isnât any one Country Club anything like The Village Club at Lake Success. Why? Not only is the Club beautiful (for an outdoor ceremony/cocktail or indoor) the staff pleasant, the grounds and building spotless, but there are 2 people that just make it all; well, perfect! Barry Rosenthal and Amy Chachkes. We wanted a âfarmâ feel in a contemporary setting; it happened. While we did rent items, Barry made sure to repurpose them. For our tasting, Barry answered a lot of questions, and Amy joined us. There were 6 of us with different ideas, questions and attitudes and they listened to everything. We came up with a menu that didnât âbreakâ the bank, yet was everything to all of us. They actually talked us out of a few of the âextrasâ when they clearly could have sold us.On the day of my son and DILâs wedding, the staff was friendly, professional and clearly understands Barryâs vision. They saw my 90 year old mom, and my DILâs 96 year old Gramma, and made sure to put a âreservedâ sign at a table at the cocktail hour so theyâd have seating close to the door. Amy is Barryâs left hand; she pretty much can complete his sentences. They work âthatâ well together. She is just a gift. She made sure our August wedding was super cool indoors. She helped with so much, kept us running on time and just made everything easy. We did have a day of coordinator; but Amy was that as well in addition to being our bridal attendant. They worked flawlessly together. My sandals, which had fit perfectly at home, kept slipping off as I walked. Amy had double sided tape, which was a godsend. She has an arsenal of tools and tricks for sure. While Amy is there to help the bride in so many ways, she was also there for us too.As our guests were leaving at the end of our amazing evening, I had brought in unique cookies and desserts. I thought theyâd be displayed on a round table, simply for guests to take on their way out. Barry, could have left things like that, but he arranged for the farm barrels to be brought up front, and an unbelievable looking display was waiting complete with flowers and lights.Normally, months after an affair, one can always find something to âpick on,â or change for âthe next oneâ. Our wedding was in August. We are almost into January, and there is not one thing comes to mind to change. Forever grateful to Barry Rosenthal and Amy Chachkes for making our kids wedding an amazing night to remember. Reviewed on 12-12-2022

Stephanie Guthrie(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-08-2021 There are truly not enough words to express how amazing our wedding was at The Village Club! We booked this venue in 2018 after falling in love with it immediately! Unfortunately due to Covid we had to postpone quite a few times and finally had the most magical and perfect wedding on 8/5/21! I don't even know where to begin! Everything from the beautiful grounds, to the food, to the service...it was pure PERFECTION! For all of our guests it was their first time attending a wedding there and they were in complete awe of everything and are still raving about the ambiance and food...especially the cocktail hour! With all the postponing, it was definitely an emotional journey but well worth the wait! Barry was absolutely AMAZING! He was there every step of the way, answering every single question (even on his days off) and being an ear when I would freak out about having to postpone again and always just being so reassuring! He went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure every little detail was met...and then some! There was never a want he didn't fulfill! Amy...from the minute we arrived at the bridal suite could not have been more personable, sweet, accommodating, and attentive! And Kevin, our bridal attendant, just added to the most perfect day! He made sure that my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of! We truly felt he was our personal bodyguard for the night! Everyone truly exceeded EVERY expectation!!

Stephanie Kostopoulos(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-06-2021 Our wedding was better than any dream, any fantasy, and any fairytale, and that was almost entirely because of the Village Club at Lake Success. Friends and family called it a \"hidden gem,\" with incredible food and service, gorgeous views, and an overall classy and sophisticated ambiance. Nestled between NYC and the expanse of Long Island suburbs, the Village Club beautifully defined the wedding of our dreams. We booked in October 2019 and had envisioned something absolutely grand--something our guests wouldn't have experienced before. Then, the pandemic started. We had heard of other venues struggling to help couples through this time, but were relieved to know that the Village Club was willing and able to work with us even with all of the fears and uncertainties the pandemic brought upon us all. Because of that, we decided to keep our date no matter what because we knew the food and service at the Village Club was THAT good and absolutely worth it. However, when most restrictions were lifted right before our June 2021 wedding, the Village Club worked above and beyond to exceed the expectations we had set almost two years ago, long before the pandemic ever started. And to be honest, our wedding was even better than that. I'm being completely candid when I say several guests--close family aside--told us that our wedding was the best one they had ever been to. Barry and his team are truly the best in the business. Putting our complete trust in them was the best decision we had ever made (besides deciding to get married in the first place). Leading up to the wedding, every question, every concern, every idea we had was addressed promptly and resolved flawlessly by Barry. His experience, leadership, and professionalism are commendable and admirable attributes, and we are so thankful we were able to work with him. The day of our wedding was exciting, busy, chaotic, and beautiful--the attentiveness to us as a couple, all of our needs, and of course all of our guests, reassured us that there is no other place like the Village Club and no other team like Barry's. On a personal note, Amy was a tremendous help to me whether it was fixing my dress, getting me from point A to point B, or making sure I was eating a proper meal. I donât know what I wouldâve done without her. We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts for everything they did to deliver the wedding we envisioned. I cannot recommend them enough!

Maria Montefusco(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-09-2018 They don't even deserve 1 star. Please DO NOT book any event with the Village club or Philip Stone Caterers/ Culinart company. They are the most UNPROFESSIONAL group of people I've ever done business with especially Senior Director of Catering Company, Tom Cataldo and District Manager of Events and Entertainment, Peter Rocco. Unfortunately my words didn't matter, and refused to meet with me in person after my wedding was done because paying them was all they ever cared about. They've BREACHED contract multiple times, food did not match the price and neither did the customer service. My husband and I paid extra per person for espresso and cappuccino. They took it into their own hands to serve American coffee in espresso cups as if no one would notice, as well as telling other guests they ran out. When it came down to the dinner course, the food was served cold throughout sections of the room which led many guests to send back their entrees. Furthermore, the steak was served not even at the doneness that was requested by guests and when I brought it to Peter Roccoâs attention his justification for it was \"this isn't an a la carte restaurant.\" These are a few issues that went wrong throughout the wedding and I wish there wasnât a word count for these reviews or else I would go into further detail on how Peter Rocco felt the need to express to me that âmaybe my expectations were too high.â After being mistreated with the lack of professionalism performed by Culinart staff, I decided to contact Vice President of Leisure and Logistics, Lou Vogt. After 56 long days they tried to convince me to drop my credit card dispute in exchange for a very small percentage of my event. Endall, this was a complete nightmare. I canât understand how this company can rip people off and not feel at all guilty about it. Customer service is clearly not their priority and getting money in their bank accounts is the only thing they care about. They will promise you the world and give you crap. Please proceed with caution when dealing with this company. I would hate for anyone to go through what I went through. Reviewed on 14-10-2019

Gina Libretti(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-08-2018 Every bride talks about how perfect their venue is, how everyone is âstill ravingâ about it, that service and food was top notch, and their venue is stunning. Well, here is another review just like that! đ I can only reassure all the couples and families venue shopping, how satisfied youâll be with hosting an event at the Village Club. My now husband and I had a long engagement. We couldnât find the perfect balance of old and new when it came to our wedding venue. We wanted the traditional spread of food but in a fresh, modern atmosphere. We come from Italian descent, and are quite the foodies so food was an important factor for us. One of the selling points for us, was the option to build our own menu and taste the dishes (with guidance from the Phillip Stone Culinary Chefs). They offer an extensive menu, from hot trends like chicken and waffles to many options only you can find at an upscale dining venue. We didnât go with the Chicken and Waffles but it was cool to see that they are keeping up with the trends in the food industry. These fun trends carried on from cocktail hour with mini bottles of Patron to dessert with milk shakes decorated in candy and sweets. The Village Club offered a level of personal service that no other venue had offered. From prior to us booking our wedding to the day of and even thereafter, I felt in the best of hands. All the servers were clean cut, well spoken and VERY attentive. The moment a guest got up their napkin was folded at their place setting and the moment a drink was finished it was refilled. The space is beautiful with floor to ceiling windows, views of the lake, hard wood floors, exposed brick and modern chandeliers. We had visited nearly 10 venues and attended more wedding than I can count. Thereâs a reason we landed on the VC. My one negative, is the price. We ended up adding on entrees, upgrading the seafood bar, adding cocktail hour stations but this was our choice. The valet, bathroom attendant, uplighting, bridal attendant were all alacarte. It adds up quickly but you get what you pay for. I would have rather it been worked into the price than see them as âoptionalâ add-ons. Nicole and Tom, you are gems. Organized, passionate and class acts! The best in the business. This is why the VC doesnât advertise, they donât have to. They are booked up two plus years in advance for good reason. I promise you wonât be disappointed with the best team in the industry leading your most special day! Reviewed on 26-10-2018

Rohaneh Ebrahimi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2017 I cannot put into words how speechless and amazed I was on the day of my Wedding. It all fell together so seamlessly which I think speaks volumes on the quality of attention and service I was given by my Wedding Coordinator Pejy. My fiance and I booked the venue after having looked everywhere on the Island and being disappointed. I was about to book with a venue in Manhattan, when on a whim I figured I would stop by and see this venue since it was on my way home. Talk about Meant to be. I was met by Pejy who I cannot praise enough, He was a delight to meet in person and made me feel like We could make this happen....especially since My fiance and I wanted to get married by December and it was September. Well let's just say you can plan a magnificent wedding in three months, but with the right help. Pejy gave me several great vendor options, and made sure we stayed on budget and on our timeline. I cannot repeat myself when I say my experience at the club and with Pejy are truly one of a kind and I will forever be grateful to him for his true care and attention to our special day. The Village Club itself is a beautiful Venue, It's truly unlike any venue on Long Island. It's sheek without being sterile, and right next to Lake Success which adds to the beauty of this venue. The food was amazing, My guests were all beyond shocked at the quantity let alone the quality of the food. I'll be honest the day of my wedding I gave myself little expectations except the mindset of I'm marrying my best friend and my family will be there so that's all that matters, but...When I saw my ballroom I was shocked, It was everything I had imagined and more. My Maitre D' Kevin was also the kindest most understanding attentive Maitre D I could of wished for. He helped make the entire night flawless, and I've heard from many friends who had weddings, that they didn't have time to eat or time to enjoy their own wedding. That was not my case at all. He made sure we ate and partied all night and enjoyed to the same extent of our guests. All I can say is if you're searching for a venue and team that will provide you with a memorable never to forget wedding .... this is it. Reviewed on 05-02-2018
Jessica Tepper(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2017 First off, the venue is GORGEOUS. It truly is one of the most amazing looking venue sites on long island! My husband and I really are so torn with a rating on this venue. Some things were 5 stars, while others were 2 stars. I guess I would give it 3 stars but I believe it has the potential to be 4 stars if you work with the right coordinator.Problem number one we had was working with Tracy. From the get go, we felt uncomfortable with her. We loved the venue, but the vibe we got from Tracy was almost that she knew more than us & was telling us what to do, nstead of listening to what we wanted. Before we even booked, Tracy promised us a specific date & price point in our proposal. When my mom and I came back to book - she then told us that she \"forgot\" it was a Sunday of a holiday weekend (even though we discussed that with her) and told us the price went up $20 pp. After many tears, we changed our wedding date & Tracy was able to waive a few items to help us make a Friday work. We were appreciative for what she did & decided to stick with the plan. Well that was the red flag & we should have followed our guts and used a different coordinator. My advice to you.. if you LOVE the venue.. work with Pejy, Tom or Nicole. I honestly have to say that working with Tracy was our hardest struggle throughout this process. She always needed to be followed up on and it was a lot of leg work from an already busy bride and groom. Fast forward to the final consult. We met with Tracy & dropped off all our stuff. We had already been emailing & calling with her back & forth to edit our final contract because everything was wrong. Menu items weren't finished, cake design was wrong, pricing was wrong.. so many things. We get to the appointment & I notice there are still errors in the contract. Tracy tells me \"just sign and ill adjust it\" so I do. Well shame on me. Our wedding day comes & THANK HEAVEN for CHRISTINA. SERIOUSLY, if you book there you need her as your day of coordinator. SHE IS BEYOND GREAT. I would have cried on my wedding day if it wasn't for her.We rented out the bridal suite for getting ready & none of the breakfast items we agree on are there.. my MOH has to order food for us so we can eat.. ok no biggy. Our cocktail hour was promised to be this outstanding event with passed sip & bites, mini meals and all these creative stations.. well half my guests missed the passed hors d'oeuvres, one station was hard to find, signature drinks weren't passed... it just was a mess.Then we go into our viewing and our cake is COMPLETELY wrong. We asked for a champagne ribbon.. and there is a BABY PINK ribbon affixed to the bottom. Now mind you my colors are gold and burgundy. I was devastated. Christina tried to remove it but the cake was unfinished underneath so it would have looked worse.Now on to dessert, we chose to do the dessert parade. Well nothing was presented like the images we were shown. All the mason jar desserts were in plastic cups. Our donuts were still half frozen, our chipwiches looked like they came out of a frozen ice cream box. It was just not a great ending to the night.. at all.We wound up expressing the issues to the Village Club Corporate and they provided us with a small reimbursement. As we do appreciate the financial reimbursement.. unfortunately nothing will fix all of these things that occurred on our wedding day.

The Village Club offered an innovative and diverse menu. From the minute we booked (about a 1.5yr out), we were instantly looking forward to our cocktail hour. Philip Stone offers such different and awesome ideas for cocktail hour (I don't know how they aren't owning Pinterest by now). When we had our tasting, we actually ran into difficulty choosing entrees because everything was just that good! The food remained consistent and delicious on the day of our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the food. For dessert, we chose to do a dessert parade with our wedding cake. We also enhanced this by adding cordials. It felt as if there was an infinite amount of sweets!The service was consistent and amazing. Pejy Kash was an absolute pleasure to work with. He maintained his professionalism, attention to detail, and organization from our first visit to the moment we went out on the dancefloor. Pejy always checked in with us and kept in close contact, making sure certain vendors were booked gave honest advice and even helped pray for good weather! There was never a time throughout wedding planning that I had to wait or remind Pejy of something (it was usually him reminding me). Not enough can be said about Pejy Kash. He is truly an asset to Philip Stone and VCLS. Anyhow, this isnât a review on just Pejy ;) We paid a little extra to have the bridal suite open for my and my bridesmaids to get ready. The venue provided us with an AM bridal attendant along with all food and refreshments throughout the day as we got all dolled up. The AM bridal attendant was great! My bridal attendant switched by the time of my wedding. Patty became my attendant, and WOW! She was just an angel. She had felt my anxiety (just nerves between reading our vows and the pressures of being pulled for pictures) and knew exactly what to do. She was absolutely perfect! Apparently our wedding was one of the last weddings that Patty was working at VCLS. However, I am quite sure just judging by my experience with everyone at this venue, that the service is exceptional regardless of who you end up working with. The one complaint I got from a guest was that a waiter was too eager to clean up the table and consequently removed a drink that wasnât finished. I will gladly take that complaint over inattentive staff!The Village Club at Lake Success is part of a country club that operates 7 days a week. Members of this club are allowed to golf during times that may coincide with your event. At first, this may sound a bit unnerving. Pejy calmed us and assured us that the members of the club and their activities will not in anyway affect our wedding. This is true. However, the Country Club and its members are very strict about the bridal party walking around the property outside of the reception area and its terrace. Photos were only allowed to be taken on certain areas of the property and we needed to be escorted by security. This may feel a little weird but it truly didnât impact our day. We were able to take the photos we wanted as long as we were escorted by security. The property is beautiful, by the way. The terrace overlooks Lake Success. There is a beautiful wooden bridge that is great for photos but only allowed with their staff escorting us.All in all, this venue truly exceeded our wedding expectations. We were so happy!

Danielle Gurr(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2016 From the moment I stepped inside the Village Club at Lake Success, and met my wedding coordinator, Pejy Kash, I knew I was in love (with both of them!). The space was big enough to accommodate my large wedding, with a huge dance floor, and the decor is elegant but not overdone. I also loved the views of Lake Success and the potential for outdoor photos. Pejy is amazing --- he's a total expert on planning the perfect wedding, but also attentive and so much fun to work with! He put me at ease and kept me laughing at every step of the wedding planning process and helped me, my fiance, and our parents decide on the right details for our day and our crowd. A month after the wedding, we're still hearing rave reviews about the food, the beautiful venue and how much fun everyone had. Also, our bridal attendant Patty and maitre d' Anthony made sure the day of our wedding was flawless and they did a phenomenal job. I honestly cannot recommend the Village Club highly enough. Thank you Pejy for the most beautiful day of our lives! Reviewed on 26-12-2016
Allison Castaldo(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2016 This venue was beautiful the food was delicious and plentiful and the staff top notch. Working with Peji made the planning effortless. Every detail was discussed and although there were a few small issues they aren't worth mentioning other than they were fixed within minutes. The only negative was that the clocks were turned back and our guests couldn't really appreciate the grounds of the golf course. A few suggestions: the presentation and size of shrimp boat was great but not worth the extra $$ as the cocktail hour food was so well presented no one would have missed it. Thank you to all who worked my daughters wedding we couldn't have asked for better. Reviewed on 17-11-2016
Alyssa Sparano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2016 My husband and I had our wedding at The Village Club in May 2016. From the moment we walked into the lobby back in December 2014, we knew it was the venue for us (in fact, we didn't even look at any other venues! We booked it right then and there!) Over the course of our engagement, Nicole, Pejy and Tom were quick to respond to every email and phone call. They worked with my husband and I to completely customize our wedding. Nicole was amazing throughout the entire planning process. She and I would go back and forth several times a day via email. Any special requests we made (such as Sweet Tea vodka and Bud Light at the reception) were made without hesitations. The day of the wedding, Pejy was so attentive and quick to get us anything we needed. The service was phenomenal and our guests are still raving about the food 6 months later. Thank you to the staff at The Village Club for making our day unforgettable and flawless! Reviewed on 11-11-2016
brittany Richman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-08-2016 beautiful grounds, updated gorgeous ballroom, warm lobby area, amazing indoor/outdoor cocktail hour room, AMAZING food. Over the top service.If you are looking for a more modern long island wedding BOOK HERE. everything is on trend, and above the curve when it comes to all of the above. There is nothing they can't do. If you're having a spring/summer wedding (even a warmer fall night) definitely do an outdoor ceremony, the view is gorgeous and makes everything that much more romantic. If you can time it with the sunset, you won't be disappointed with your pictures. Use Kevin as your bridal attendant, he is the best there is. I have nothing bad to say, everything was perfect.

Vanessa M(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2016 When we first started looking for venues, we stayed away from country clubs and golf courses, since we were opting for a more unique and less traditional venue. However, after seeing several other places that were either too expensive, or too outdated, we decided to give the Village Club a look. From the minute we walked in, we were impressed by the grounds and the beautifully updated interior. Pejy told us from the start that there were no Saturdays available for all of 2016, but we were happy to have a Friday wedding. The price was comparable to other places we looked at, but included a wider variety of food options, & allowed us to have the whole place to ourselves for the day of the wedding, since there is only one event per day. We figured that they had to be doing something right if it was this booked up!! Working with Pejy was terrific; he always answered our questions quickly, overseeing everything from the smallest detail to the entire schedule. He was always there to lend advice but was also ready to listen, no matter what our decision was.On the big day, I had Kevin as my bridal attendant & he was wonderful. He was constantly there to give me drinks/food, and even helped the moms bustle my dress! He was never in the way & was always just a quick call away. He made sure that me & my husband got a chance to sample a wide variety of our hors d'oeuvres, as well as our dinner entrees. We never really had to ask for anything.We were very pleased that everyone told us that the food was amazing (including the foodies in attendance!) They also said it was one of the best weddings that they had been to!! This was no doubt due to the tremendous effort put forth by all of the staff members, from the waiters & bartenders, to the chefs & our wonderful maitreâd Anthony. He was constantly making sure that everything was running smoothly & checked in with us & our parents several times throughout the night. Everyone at the Village Club worked hard to make our special night perfect, and they will do the same for you! Reviewed on 03-10-2016

Worth it! I looked all over Nassau County for a wedding venue and there is no place like the Village Club. Beautifully renovated ballroom with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake. No carpet in the ballroom, which I LOVED! So not only is it beautiful inside, the service was fantastic. They are a little cocky about how great they are and how impeccable their service is, but after my wedding I can see why. Starting with Pejy. We worked with him and he helped us every step of the way with any questions we had (and trust me we had a lot). He was very communicative and easy to get a hold of. Kevin was our bridal attendant and was so great at keeping everything and everybody organized and the day ran so smooth. It was a hot August day with some sporadic ran but Kevin was able to get us outside for pictures when the rain stopped and we were still able to have our cocktail hour outside. He was on top of everything! Constantly cooling me off and giving me water on the dance floor. Even my guests raved about the room and the service. I understand this place may be more expensive than some other places we looked at but it was so worth it in the end. Reviewed on 30-08-2016
Emmanuel Voumvourakis(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2016 When we committed to Philip Stone Caterers a year before our wedding day, there were only two Saturday evenings available. The one we selected and the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This should be the first sign on how much this venue is in demand. Why might you ask?First - the food is absolutely delicious, presentations very creative, and menu diverse. Second - Pejy is the bomb !!!! He and his crew made sure that everything would be perfect and as we requested.Third - the space is large comfortable and beautiful. If you are a Foodie and want a venue that is absolutely amazing, search no other. If you are lucky enough to get Pejy as your coordinator you should be very happy. Reviewed on 19-08-2016
Laura Vaccaro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2016 I just had my bridal shower at the Village Club and had the most wonderful day ever. Originally, my fiance and I looked at the venue for our wedding, but then chose another space because we preferred to be married in Westchester versus Long Island. Because I had such a positive experience working with Tracy during my initial inquiry, I referred my mother to her to consider the venue for my shower. My mom wound up booking and I couldn't have been any happier. The food was great (and generous), and the venue is just stunning (we scored some seriously gorgeous photos outside)! The best part though, in my opinion, was the staff, every single one of whom were outstanding! Everyone I met was super friendly and the servers all had really fun personalities - they made it so easy for our guests to relax and enjoy themselves and the overall consensus was that the party was a blast! As a side note, I do work in the events industry myself, and while I don't think I'm unreasonable, I do think I have high standards as a client. I can honestly say from food to service to timing and all other minutiae, these guys know what they're doing! The fact that my mom had just as much fun as I did speaks volumes about the professionalism you can expect from the Village Club and I will happily recommend them to anyone looking for a gorgeous setting for a once in a lifetime celebration. Throwing a bridal shower for her only daughter, my mother wanted nothing more than to create a perfect day for my and my fiance's families, Tracy and the Village Club stopped at nothing to make that a reality....

The space is beautiful and can accommodate a large wedding, the food is superb (especially if you're looking for kosher food; it was the best kosher food we've ever had!), and the service is unparalleled. Nicole was extremely responsive to any questions/comments we had throughout the planning process, and made me feel 100% confident that every detail of the wedding would be tended to. Day-of the wedding we worked with Anthony who made sure to say hello/check in with our 220+ guests throughout the wedding and was wonderful in making sure things ran according to plan, and Kevin was THE BEST bridal attendant, helping with tricky family situations and making sure that my husband and I could truly enjoy our wedding day.

Bridget Quinn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2014 We searched for the right venue for months. From the moment we met Tom and Nicole, we knew we had the right location. When we booked, the venue was in the midst of redecorating and minor renovations. Tom walked us through each detail from the light fixtures to the color of the area rug - painting us a picture. He also did the same with each detail of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. \r\rDuring our long engagement, Tom and Nicole (and frankly, everyone on their team) were responsive to our many, many questions and non-traditional requests (which didn't stump them once). Our food-tasting was a culinary delight filled with options to quench these 'foodies' tastes.\r\rThe process leading up to our wedding day was organized, communicative, and smooth. We arrived at the venue very early for photos on the beautiful grounds. Winnie was our bridal attendant and one of the reasons the day was so spectacular - she was one step ahead of all of my questions and requests. With the weather questionable, the team was able to quickly set up a romantic ceremony inside. Tom took some time to walk us through the ballroom and walk us through all of the details. I will never forget those few minutes!\r\rEverything was just the way we planned and hoped. The team was organized, attentive, honest and genuine. The food was spectacular and the service the same. I am a very 'Type A' personality but knew that we were in good hands as Tom, Nicole, and Team truly treated us like family and we look forward to future events with them.\r\rBest. Day.
