We are having my mother-in-law's 60th Birthday Celebration at this BEAUTIFUL venue. As familiar as I am with the "Nautical Mile" upon driving up to the venue, you can tell that Bayview on the Water is a true CLASS ACT.The staff are friendly, understanding and willing to help with whatever they can.I can't wait to see Mom enjoy herself among family and friends on her day!!!

We had my father's 90th birthday party at The Bayview this past Saturday and we couldn't of been happier. The moment we saw the room we knew it was perfect. Clean, bright, excellent layout with bar and restroom right in the room. Extra heated outdoor area was a plus! The staff from start to finish was professional, courteous, and on point will all our needs. We had a guest with numerous food allergies and the staff and chef worked with us to accommodate all our needs for safe dining. Thank you Maggie, and Nick for allowing us to enjoy our event and leaving with nothing but happy memories!

Very upset with this place and when it comes to booking with this lady Maggie. I tried to book my baby shower, my first child and I wanted to make it very special for my family and my closest friend at this place. I called on February 4th and then again the 6th was going over prices and brunch, lunch menu over the phone to let them know I was coming to pick up a brunch package and personally look at the rooms available. When I arrived to look at their rooms, this lady Maggie said she won’t hold any space unless you have a deposit right there of $1500 to book the day, which I ended up doing as per her words, went home and came back the same day to leave my check as per Maggie said only cash or checks for $1500 Saturday February 10th. Before I went home to get my deposit, that lady Maggie, my husband and I sat down in the office went over the available dates and she said she didn’t have any weekends availability for April including the 27th which was my first option, but has open and available April 28th. Which then we agree to take. When I went back to this place with my deposit, she said it was already booked by someone that has NOT given the $1500 dollars deposit and they were coming today with the deposit, which I thought that was really messed up from her part, we spoke about the available days when she specifically said and repeated herself she won’t hold the day without the deposit, she checked two computers to make sure the day was available and that she has the 28th available but she did the opposite with someone that didn’t leave a deposit of $1500. My husband upset about her false statement said “ok let’s wait to see if these people will end up showing up with the deposit and if not we book our day,” Maggie then switched her story and said “well they might come today or tomorrow with their deposit,” I just think the management or booking people of this place should make sure that they tell everyone the same story and the truth when it comes to booking without a deposit as per Maggie’s words. I could’ve done the same. People if you’re booking this place, make sure you arrive to this place with your checkbook or deposit ready something most people don’t use these days, because their credit card can’t be accepted at this place according to Maggie’s another lie because there’s extra “fees” and charges, so book your day right away because Maggie’s words and actions unfortunately don’t match. Very disappointing. She’s not honest and she definitely ruined my baby shower plans.

Had a staff meeting here today and it went great! Samantha and Nick did an excellent job taking care of us. Hassle-free process start to finish. The view is magnificent, the venue is beautiful and everyone loved it. We got everything done that we needed to and the setting made it feel like a real retreat instead of business as usual. Highly recommend!

*****Horrible Venue*********If you choose this venue, have your attorney on retainer***I planned my event, I visited Bayview several times, Spoke with Samantha F. in person, by email and phone several times, she was extremely nice. On my last visit to the venue I advised her I am ready to book the ballroom upstairs and asked to sign the contract. Samantha stated she had another appointment and would email me the contract by the next day and I could pay the deposit by credit card. This was 12/18/2023. I never received the contract, I email her, called her and she gave several timeframe as to when she would be sending the contract: sent it by the end of the day, when she get back to her desk, next week, but still we never received the contract. We called the office and spoke with Julia who stated the contract is a one day process and she would check with Samantha. I called Samantha and she stated they booked the Ballroom and offer an alternative, the Veranda room.Not only did she give away my date and room, she also changed the minimum PPL required for the ballroom. I previously explained to her that I did not like the Veranda room and it was not an option. She offered no explanation and acted as if it was not a big deal. She felt no remorse for the position she put me in. I had my vendors and my date scheduled. I now have no venue. This sweet person I met when I went to Bayview, disappeared and turned into a nonchalant, malicious, and unprofessional person. I have never been so dissatisfied, so annoyed with a company that is selling hospitality services. I read the previous negative reviews but gave Bayview the benefit of the doubt. If you are considering this Venue I would say RUN not walk to any other Venue. There is nothing worst than planning your occasion and to be ......... over by the venue.

I cannot say enough positive things about the Bayview. You can see for yourself that it is an absolutely gorgeous place to get married / have your reception. The view is spectacular. The interior is stunning. What you can’t see by looking at the pictures or driving past the venue is the team that works inside and makes everything come together. Maggie, Lauren, Julia, Ashley our bridal attendant, Jackie, John, and the rest of the team make you feel so at home every step of the way. They think of everything and walk you through the process. They are always available and always willing to help. On top of all of that, the food, the service everything is fantastic. They truly go above and beyond. They made our wedding perfect for us. You will not regret booking the Bayview for your next event. You even might get a new extended family on top of it!

We had our wedding (a second wedding for both of us) at the Bayview last month. I cannot tell you how impressed we were with Maggie and her staff and the attention that they gave us.The service was fantastic. The food was excellent, and our guests are still raving about the venue and how fantastic our whole wedding was. Once again, I want to thank the whole staff at the Bayview for making our second wedding such a marvelous experience.Thank you so much!Brady Geril

We had our son's 1st birthday party at Bayview last month, it was beautiful, and everything was great! Maggie was great to work with and was very responsive to my hundreds of emails and questions. All of the staff were very attentive. We were a little weary in the beginning to book the event because we didn't really know anyone who hosted an event here, how the food would be or the place in general, but we were extremely happy and pleased! I would 100% recommended Bayview and working with Maggie!

We had our wedding here and we loved the location on the water. It provided a unique waterfront experience if you are looking for more options than just the beach. It is also a newer venue so the aesthetic is very modern and has beautiful large windows in the reception space to continue to look over the water even if you are not outside. Being from Long Island, we also loved that it was local and did not have to travel far. Another perk of The Bayview that we liked is that your event is the only one taking place so we had the whole space to ourselves which gave us great flexibility when it came time to set up and break down all the wedding pieces. One positive note from all of our guests was that the food was delicious all around, everything from cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert.Our only critique is that their team is not responsive with emails or phone calls at all. Ourselves and our wedding planner had a very difficult time planning and confirming with them various details throughout the wedding process. Most notably, the day of the wedding they thought our wedding ceremony started at a different time than what we had confirmed multiple times. Our advice is to get a strong wedding planner to advocate on your behalf if you decide to have your event at the Bayview.

We had the best wedding at Bayview! The service was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. The food and drinks were delicious. Maggie was great to work with throughout the entire process. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say. Highly recommend Bayview for any event, especially weddings!

I usually never do reviews, but this one I have to. First off let me say my wedding was a disaster. Not only did the food come out late, but it was cold and even tasted spoiled. On speaking to the manager he looks like he had no clue what was going on he was inebriated and drunk. While he try to remain professional speech was slurring, he kept trying to give us free drinks, and was flirting with my bridesmaid. The food took forever to come out. The music was OK. That’s why I gave it one star. It’s a beautiful building but the service is terrible man he didn’t even speak English when we were asking them. Where is the food when we asked to speak to management they would take at least 15 minutes to come back and when they did come back, all management said was the food is coming we’re sorry. He made an excuse saying that there was two chefs that called out sick and he was in the kitchen helping them out. They ruined my wedding, I don’t recommend anyone of color to come to this establishment. They cater strictly for Caucasians because all the reviews or five stars and that’s why we made our wedding here but ambience is beautiful. The music is beautiful but the staff and management hast to go. This place has a lot of potential. Please do not book this for your event if you are of color.

We recently had our wedding at The Bayview a few weeks back and we were extremely pleased and thrilled with our experience and this venue. Many emails were sent working hand in hand along the way and Maggie and Lauren were constantly responsive and helpful. So many of our guests raved about how great the food was, and the service at this venue is top notch. Bride and groom are served three entree options at dinner which I have never seen before and that was very unique. With the possibility of rain, the venue was still very accommodating and made everything stress free. Our guests loved the rooftop and it is a perfect place for a wedding ceremony with the views of the water and sunsets. Our bridal attendant, Jill, was amazing and gave us food from the cocktail hour to made sure we ate. Jill checked in on us all night and made it seamless. Not one thing went wrong the entire night! Service, food, staff, and venue is 11/10. I recommend choosing this venue for weddings or any event. We didn't want the experience to end, very special!
