You’re not planning just another party. You’re creating a moment that matters to the people you care about most.
When you book our catering hall in Gilgo, NY, you get more than four walls and a floor. You get a space that adapts to your vision, not the other way around. Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding reception, a milestone birthday celebration, or a corporate gathering that needs to impress, our venue transforms to match what you have in mind.
The difference shows in the details. Custom lighting that sets the right mood. Flexible seating arrangements that encourage conversation. A professional dance floor where your guests actually want to spend time. And staff who understand that your event isn’t just another booking on our calendar.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been part of the Suffolk County community for years, and we’ve learned something important: the best events happen when you combine the right space with people who actually understand what you’re trying to accomplish.
Our team doesn’t just rent you a hall and walk away. We’re dance professionals who’ve choreographed countless first dances, planned wedding receptions, and helped families celebrate their biggest moments. That experience shows up in how we approach your event venue needs in Suffolk County.
We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. We know which layouts encourage mingling and which kill conversation. We understand timing, flow, and how to make sure your guests leave talking about your event for all the right reasons.
Planning an event shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle with missing pieces. Our process is straightforward because we know you have enough to worry about.
First, we talk. Not a sales pitch, but an actual conversation about what you’re planning, how many people you’re expecting, and what kind of atmosphere you want to create. We’ll walk you through the space so you can see exactly what you’re getting.
Next, we customize. Every event is different, so we adjust the layout, lighting, and setup to match your specific needs. No cookie-cutter packages that force you to work around limitations that don’t make sense for your celebration.
Finally, we execute. On event day, our team handles setup, coordinates with your other vendors, and makes sure everything runs smoothly so you can focus on enjoying your celebration instead of managing logistics.

Our party venue Long Island location offers more than just space. You get access to professional dance instruction if you want to surprise your guests with a choreographed moment. You get event coordination that actually coordinates instead of just taking your money and hoping for the best.
The venue itself adapts to different event sizes and styles. Intimate gatherings of 50 feel cozy, not empty. Larger celebrations of 200+ feel energetic, not cramped. We’ve hosted everything from corporate presentations that needed to impress clients to wedding receptions where three generations danced together on our professional floor.
Suffolk County families choose us because we understand the local market. We know which vendors work well together, what timeline makes sense for Long Island traffic patterns, and how to handle the logistics that can make or break your event. Our ballroom rental Suffolk County service includes the kind of local expertise you can’t get from chain venues or inexperienced operators.
We’re not just a rental hall that hands you keys and disappears. Our team includes professional dance instructors who understand event flow, timing, and how to create an atmosphere where people actually enjoy themselves.
Most venues treat your event like inventory to move. We treat it like what it is: a celebration that matters to you and your guests. That shows up in everything from how we help you plan the layout to how our staff interacts with your guests during the event.
You also get access to professional dance instruction if you want to add choreographed elements to your celebration. Whether that’s a surprise dance for your wedding guests or team-building activities for your corporate event, we can make it happen because we actually know how to teach people to dance, not just rent them a floor.
For weddings and major celebrations, six to twelve months gives you the best selection of dates, especially if you’re planning for peak season between May and October. Corporate events and smaller gatherings often have more flexibility, and we can sometimes accommodate bookings with just a few weeks’ notice.
The key is calling us as soon as you have a general timeframe in mind. We can hold dates while you finalize other details, and early booking gives us more time to customize the space and coordinate with your other vendors.
Peak wedding season fills up first, but we’ve found that many couples actually prefer off-season dates. November through March often means better vendor availability, lower costs for other services, and a more intimate atmosphere that some couples prefer over busy summer weekends.
Yes, and this is where our experience as dance professionals really helps. We understand how space affects energy and interaction, so we know how to configure the venue for different group sizes.
For intimate gatherings of 30-50 people, we create cozy arrangements that encourage conversation and connection. The space feels warm and personal, not like a small group lost in a big room. For larger celebrations up to 200 guests, we open up the full space and arrange seating and activity areas that keep energy high without feeling crowded.
The key is in the details: lighting that matches the mood, seating arrangements that work for your group dynamics, and flow patterns that make sense for how your guests will actually use the space. We’ve hosted everything from 25-person anniversary parties to 180-person wedding receptions, and each one feels right-sized for the group.
Our base rental includes the venue space, tables, chairs, basic lighting, sound system, and our professional dance floor. We also include event day coordination to make sure everything runs smoothly and basic setup and cleanup.
Additional services like custom lighting design, dance instruction for your guests, extended setup time, or specialized equipment rental are available at additional cost. We’re upfront about pricing because nobody likes surprise fees when they’re already managing an event budget.
Most of our clients find that our all-inclusive approach actually saves money compared to venues that nickel-and-dime every service. We can connect you with trusted local vendors for catering, photography, and other services, and our relationships often mean better pricing and coordination than if you’re managing everything separately.
We work with a network of trusted local caterers who know our venue and understand how to execute events in our space. This isn’t a list we handed you from Google – these are vendors we’ve worked with repeatedly and who consistently deliver quality results.
You’re also welcome to bring in your own caterer if you have someone specific in mind. We just ask that they coordinate with our team on logistics like delivery times, setup requirements, and cleanup procedures. Our experience helps outside vendors work more efficiently in our space.
Many clients appreciate our vendor relationships because it takes the guesswork out of finding reliable service providers. When we recommend someone, it’s because we’ve seen them handle events successfully, not because we get kickbacks. Your event’s success is more important to us than vendor commissions.
Life happens, and we understand that event plans sometimes need to change. Our cancellation and rescheduling policies are designed to be fair to both parties while protecting our ability to serve other clients.
If you need to reschedule, we’ll work with you to find alternative dates based on availability. There may be fees involved depending on timing and circumstances, but we try to be flexible when possible. The earlier you let us know about changes, the more options we typically have.
For cancellations, our policy varies based on how far in advance you cancel and what costs we’ve already incurred on your behalf. We’ll walk you through the specifics when you book, so there are no surprises if circumstances change. The goal is to handle these situations professionally and fairly, not to penalize you for things beyond your control.
