From our very first meeting at the Waterview, the entire staff was friendly, engaging, and professional. As a LGBTQ couple, my husband and I knew this would be the right venue for us. They had all of the right facilities, accommodating all of our needs, and flexibility with dates and costing. The day of the event was seamless with no stress for my husband or I. Our families all enjoyed the Waterview from the ceremony through dinner and dancing. Our coordinator, Kat, was absolutely incredible. She was able to take our vision and make it a reality. We cannot say enough about the staff and facilities. The Garden Room and East room are simply amazing. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches at the end of the night--people are still talking about them!

Choosing 360 East at Montauk Downs as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. From the start, their communication style was incredibly accommodating, responsive, helpful, and kind. Hailee, who manages the venue, was a true powerhouse - she had a smile on her face the entire night and it was clear she loves what she does. The staff was equally as great, ensuring the whole planning process was a breeze and our special day could not have been more perfect. The quality of their work and value was stunning - the venue was beautifully managed, the food was incredible, and they had amazing in-house vendors that provided great service.
