Dont plan anything with the Beach Club Estate at Lake Ronkonkoma. We would NOT recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. My husband and I met with "Ron" in early October and a few days later our daughter and fiancée met with him to see the location. My husband phoned Ron a couple weeks later, reminding him of our previous visit. During that phone conversation my husband asked Ron how much was required in order to secure the date. Ron quoted a “$1,000.00” deposit. An appointment was arranged for us to meet with him to finalize this agreement. We drove 6 hours from our residence for this appointment and when we arrived, we entered with no one there to greet us. While waiting about 10 minutes, we overheard a female employee cursing and speaking unprofessionally from another room, regarding a customer. Because no one appeared while we waited, my husband decided to find the woman. When he found her, she asked if she could help us and also asked if we had an appointment. My husband said, “Yes”. She indicated that she did not hear us enter and told us to wait for her in the other room. After waiting a few more minutes, she returned with a form and asked us to fill it out. However, we told her that we did not need to fill out this form, as we had completed it at our initial visit. She took the form back and told us that she would be right with us, to which we replied “are we meeting with you or Ron?” She confirmed that we would be meeting with Ron. After waiting several more minutes Ron arrived and greeted us by asking, “What can I do for you?” Surprised, my husband asked if Ron remembered who we were. He replied rudely, “I deal with about 10 people a day from all over the country and I can’t remember everyone’s name”. We reminded him that we came from out of town to finalize our agreement and make our deposit, as previously discussed by phone. We indicated that we wanted to confirm the details of the contract. We handed him our carbon copy of the form that he filled out with us at our first visit and he simply read what was indicated on the form. He did not describe or elaborate in any way. We then handed him our menu choices, which he did not want at that time. He asked which time of day and what date we requested, even though it was on the form he completed. He then left the room to find out if the date was still available. Stunned, we waited several more minutes while he was away. When he came back he told us that the location had been booked but that we could work around it. In shock, we told him we weren’t interested in another date. We reminded him that the reason we had this appointment was in order to secure the original date. At that point, he asked us how many guests we were planning for, so we referred him again to the initial paperwork and stated “50 people”. He indicated the only other option for that date was the larger room, which required a minimum of 75 people. Frustrated, we summarized our communications from day one and expressed our disappointment for how the situation was handled. Ron then said, "Look, Im not going to be put in a frying pan," and stated, “I could just get up and walk away from this”. Instead, we were the ones who walked away, in disbelief.

Im very happy I had my wedding here. All my guests had a good time and kept asking how we found this place. The most impressive parts are the beautiful pink purple sunset, the food (omg food was so good) and DJ (we actually had the owner of the DJ company and he is really good and funny)We had outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour,then indoor dinner with the sunset lake view threw the window walls and everything was beautiful. My bridal attendant Amanda is very good,nice,helpful and reachable during the whole wedding. I want to give a big complement to Michael who was half of the reason we chose here for our wedding (the other half reason is we like the place itself). Any company would be lucky to have Michael! He is marvelous!He is so pleasant to talk to and welcoming, good sense of humor too. He makes people feel very comfortable. Him being so friendly and funny makes planning a wedding much easier(youd know the difference if youve seen some other venues,Michael is waaaaay better than them) Thank you Michael for everything you did for us:) Yes I definitely recommend beach club estate to anyone who has a wedding under 100 guests or an event. I hope more people get to know how nice this place is. And if you go there,bring me too because I want their fooooooood lol

Did my sister in laws 25th Anniversary. It was a big program, as good as a wedding. 160 guests, dance, food fireworks music. Location was perfect with great lake view. I would have given 5 stars, however they messed up at the last minute. Took almost 30 mins for people to stand in line to get food even though it was supposed to be a buffet. Extremely in effective staff for food serving.

We recently went to Beach Club Estates, and had a small wedding there. We really loved it a lot. The surroundings are beautiful, especially with the lake right there. You will never believe you are on Long Island. -I highly recommend the great food they have, and the service. The setting makes it unbelievable.
