Village Club at Lake Success

When we first visited the Village Club back in 2018 we knew it was the place we were meant to get married! We started counting down until our 5/8/20 wedding date. And then Covid hit…It was soul crushing! We were 2 months away from having our dream wedding at our dream location and then life as we knew it changed. We postponed to July 2020 thinking everything would be ok by then…it wasn’t. We then had to make the decision to postpone to May 2021…a full year from when we were originally supposed to get married. And now unfortunately postponing again to 8/5/21. I’m sure many brides can relate to this but I’ve also heard horror stories about how wedding venues were not being as accommodating. Not the Village Club! Barry has been AMAZING through it all! Even after having to postpone 3 times, he has been there every step of the way being in constant communication with us. And even though he may not have all the answers as to what August will look like, his positivity, reassurance and confidence in wanting to make sure we have the wedding we envisioned, and promising to keep us in the loop, makes us feel that the decision we made almost 2 1/2 years ago will ALL be worth it!!! As challenging as this past year has been, my fiancé and I are thankful we picked a venue that understands what couples have been going though and are so sympathetic. We cannot WAIT for our wedding in August! It’s the first time in almost a year we have felt excited again! I can’t wait to come back on here and write another review (and share pictures) on how magical Barry and the Village Club team made our wedding day…because I know without a doubt they will make it happen!!!

Village club is a dream come true
Our fairytale wedding was 12/5/20… yes that’s right during covid. It’s easy to find a venue that can throw a good party if you have the right vendors and all things are going well…however, it’s another to find people and a company that can be your saving grace during a crisis. Barry Rosenthal and the staff at village club did just that! We originally set our wedding date back in 2019 and it was planned for 200 guests. Of course with covid and current state regulations things did not go as planned and we had to cut to 50 people. We were considering pushing and then possibly even canceling but we really wanted to get married on that day. Barry and his team assured us that they can make it happen. We were skeptical at first but Barry came through with an in depth plan, contingencies and back ups for any scenario. We trusted Barry through the process and he exceeded our expectations EVERY SINGLE TIME. Our day was absolutely magical from start to finish. Barry coordinated everything with our vendors, made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing and each of our guests had an amazing time. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests were all accommodated based on their level of comfort. If you’re considering whether or not to get married right now or push your wedding off I would highly recommend sitting with Barry at the Village Club before making that decision.

My husband and I were scheduled to have our wedding at the Village Club at Lake Success this past summer, but due to COVID, we have postponed our reception twice. Although we have not actually held our event at the venue, I would like to commend the staff for their patience and kindness while navigating through this difficult time. This experience has made us feel so secure in our decision to get married here this upcoming May because we foresee that our wedding day will be handled with just as much grace and dignity.

I’m so grateful I found the Village Club of Lake Success after having to cancel my original wedding plans. They were extremely flexible and accommodating. Working in the wedding industry, it was hard for me to find a venue. Once I went there, I was blown away by how beautiful it was and friendly the staff was. The grounds are gorgeous. Also having the best Wedding Designer helped, Pejy Kash Events. His guidance of the venue was so helpful and he helped make our day unforgettable. All my guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was and how great the food was! I would definitely recommend it!!!

Planning with the Village Club was a breeze and we knew we wouldn’t have anything to worry about on the day of our wedding! I brought in a lot of decor extras and sentimental pieces and was able to stage it ahead of time, take photos and have everything set up when we arrived. Guests are still raving about the venue and all of the special touches, like desserts on the dance floor and the fun sips and bites. Being able to pick up and take home our delicious cocktail hour leftovers the day after the wedding to enjoy with our families is an UNHEARD of bonus! The Village Club made our wedding day so special and we wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Thank you very much for all your work in connection with Touro Law Center’s retreat that was held at the Village Club at Lake Success. Everyone enjoyed the food. It received high praises from our faculty. I especially want to thank you for being able to pull together a menu for our gluten-free facilitator. I found out the night before the event that she had special dietary restrictions, and you were able to accommodate her requirements. Thank you to you and your team. I am very appreciative that you provided outstanding service.

My husband and I could not have been happier to have chosen the Village Club as our wedding venue. Our friends and family are still talking about how delicious the food was and how gorgeous the space is! The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we had the most amazing wedding from the beginning of the day all the way until the end of the afterparty! Barry and his entire team were a dream to work with! I wish we could do it all over again!!

It’s so rare in today’s world that people actually deliver exactly what they promise … in our case you guys actually delivered MORE then you promised.
You truly made Dana & Jon’s wedding the fairytale that our princess deserved and we can’t thank you enough. Your entire staff went above and beyond to really produce, and we want you to know how much we appreciate that as both parents and clients of yours.

I finally can officially put in writing my gratitude for everything you did to help make Logan’s Bar-Mitzvah amazing. You and your staff are the utmost professional at handling every situation, from my chipwhich request at the tasting to the almost missed delivery to literally holding my hand through the process and preventing a nervous breakdown. Before I even had a chance to make a request you were 2 steps ahead taking care of whatever needed taking care of with tons of patience! It has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish working with you and I definitely felt like a “guest” on the night of our event. Everything was perfect- the service was fabulous, the food was amazing and I confidently knew my party was in good hands thanks to you and your staff! Thank you again for all your help, patience and great sense of humor through it all!

I would like to thank you and your entire team for the excellent job you did on our wedding. No detail was too small; no request considered insignificant. I could not have asked for more. Thanks again.

I just had my wedding and I could not rave about this venue more. The venue was completely accessible which was very important to us since we had a few family members in walkers/wheelchairs. The food was so creative and our guests cannot stop raving about it. Every dietary need was adhered to and the waitstaff was beyond helpful. I fell in love with this venue the first time I saw it and immediately booked it. The day of bridal attendant, Kevin, was so helpful and made everything run perfectly. From following us around with food and drinks to assisting my family, to carrying my outfit changes around the venue and making sure each vendor was timely and efficient – the staff there took care of every concern and executed everything flawlessly. If you’re looking for the best value for your Long Island wedding, this place is it.

I just wanted to say thank you for a beautiful wedding! The guests were raving about the fabulous service and how full the raw bar was throughout the cocktail hour! The food was great and I ate a bunch of black and white cookies the next day. Everyone has have been calling The Village Club a hidden gem and they all loved the view as well.

I just wanted to thank you and your entire staff for a magnificent wedding Saturday night. You made Brittany and Mike’s wedding a night we will all never forget. I heard from just about every guest, who said it was the best venue they have ever been to. The food and the service was amazing. I can’t thank you enough for all you hard work and professionalism.

It was a GREAT night!

Thank you again, the event was a huge success and our physicians were very happy.

Look forward to working together again in the future!

I cannot thank you enough for everything that you and your team did to make our outing such a success! We had such a great time!

“WOW” is all I can say. We are still on cloud 9 reminiscing every detail from our wedding! We have been getting a ton of texts from our guests saying how incredible the food, service and overall atmosphere were….and it’s all thanks to you and your amazing team. We can’t thank you enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams and for taking such great care of us. We are hoping we get invited to a wedding there because we want to relive everything and see you guys 🙂

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Thank you again for everything!! We had the BEST time!! You and your staff were flawless and our guests all said this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to!

Now that the dust has (semi) settled, we just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to you and your entire team for working with us throughout this entire process. You truly helped to give us the wedding of our dreams, and we are forever grateful for that. We truly appreciate your patience, flexibility, expertise, and humor. From the planning, to the day of, to the ceremony, to the reception, and finally the after party, you worked tirelessly to make sure that every detail was perfect. You made the experience so special for us. It was truly the best night of our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Our 2nd Annual Ray Pfeifer Foundation Golf Classic Presented by The Mark Cuban Foundation was a big success, and your team played an important role in helping us achieve our goals. Thank to you and your staff for being especially accommodating on the day of our event. Please thank everyone on behalf of our Ray Pfeifer Foundation family. This was my 7th event at VCLS. I’m looking forward to my 8th!

We are still on cloud nine from Zach’s Bar Mitzvah and couldn’t be happier with our choice of The Village Club of Lake Success/Phillip Stone Caterers. I want to reach out with the biggest thank you! The party exceeded our expectations. The entire experience was a total luxury service. Your team made me feel confident and assured throughout our entire process of working together. The food was top notch and beyond delicious. The cocktail hour was perfection, I loved the carefully curated stations were selected. The New England station was a big hit. Family and friends have been raving about all the stations. The main course was wonderful with very hearty portions. Our family truly had the time of their lives celebrating Zach’s bar mitzvah at the Village Club of Lake Success. It’s a memory that will last a lifetime.
