You know the difference between an event that feels forced and one that flows naturally. Most catering halls in Suffolk County give you a room and hope for the best.
Here’s what happens when you choose a venue where we actually understand movement, timing, and creating moments that matter. Your guests don’t awkwardly stand around wondering what comes next. Transitions between cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing happen smoothly because the space and coordination are designed by people who understand rhythm.
Whether it’s your wedding reception, corporate celebration, or milestone party, you get a catering hall in Islip, NY where every detail moves in harmony. No scrambling, no confusion, no wondering if your event coordinator really gets what you’re trying to achieve.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has earned its reputation in Suffolk County by doing something most venues don’t—actually understanding what makes celebrations work.
We bring years of experience helping couples perfect their first dance, teaching families to move together, and creating custom choreography for life’s biggest moments. This background in professional dance instruction translates directly into event hosting that anticipates problems before they happen.
Located in Islip, we’ve built relationships throughout Long Island by treating every client like family rather than just another booking. When you work with people who’ve spent years making others feel confident and comfortable, that expertise shows up in every aspect of your event.
Your planning process starts with a real conversation about what you want to achieve, not a sales pitch about packages you don’t need. During the initial consultation, you’ll discuss your vision, guest count, and specific requirements with someone who actually listens and asks the right questions.
The venue tour lets you see exactly how your event will unfold in the space. We walk you through layout options, discuss timing considerations, and address logistics that other venues often overlook until the last minute. You leave knowing exactly what your celebration will look and feel like.
Once you’re ready to move forward, the coordination begins. From vendor management to day-of logistics, you get professional oversight that lets you focus on enjoying your celebration rather than managing details. We handle everything from setup timing to ensuring your special moments happen exactly as planned.

Your party venue Long Island rental includes a professionally designed space that works for intimate gatherings of 40 guests or celebrations up to 150 people. The layout adapts to different event styles—formal sit-down dinners, cocktail receptions, or celebrations that blend both.
What sets this venue apart from other hall rental services New York is the optional dance instruction component. Planning a wedding and want to surprise guests with choreographed moments? Need help with your corporate event’s entertainment? Our professional instructors create custom choreography that fits your event perfectly.
Suffolk County hosts hundreds of events every weekend, but most venues just provide space and hope everything works out. Here, you get personalized packages that include professional event coordination, vendor management, and the unique option of incorporating dance instruction into your celebration—all designed to fit your budget without sacrificing quality.
Our venue comfortably hosts events from 40 to 150 guests, with the flexibility to adjust the space configuration based on your specific needs. For smaller, intimate celebrations of 40-60 people, the space feels cozy and personal without being cramped.
Larger celebrations work beautifully because the layout can be opened up to accommodate more guests while maintaining good flow between different areas—cocktail space, dining area, and dance floor. We have experience optimizing the space for different event styles, whether you need maximum seating for a formal dinner or more open space for mingling and dancing.
What’s particularly helpful is our ability to advise on the optimal guest count for your specific event style. We’ll be honest about what works best in the space rather than just trying to book the largest possible event.
We work with a carefully selected network of trusted caterers who understand both the space and the quality standards your event deserves. This approach gives you more flexibility in menu choices and pricing while ensuring professional coordination.
Rather than being locked into one catering option, you can choose from several preferred vendors or work with a caterer you already have in mind. We coordinate with your chosen caterer to ensure proper timing, setup logistics, and seamless service throughout your event.
This system works particularly well for clients who want specific cuisine styles or have dietary restrictions that require specialized catering. The coordination between venue and catering happens behind the scenes, so you don’t have to manage multiple vendors or worry about communication gaps on your event day.
Yes, and this is where we offer something you won’t find at typical catering halls in Suffolk County. Our professional dance instructors can work with couples on their first dance, teach choreography to wedding parties, or even provide group lessons during your event.
Services range from private instruction sessions before your event to live teaching during cocktail hour or reception. We can create custom choreography that matches your music choices and comfort level—whether you want something simple and elegant or more elaborate and entertaining.
Many couples find this eliminates the stress and expense of coordinating with separate dance instructors while ensuring the choreography works perfectly with the venue space and event timeline. It’s particularly popular for weddings where the couple wants to surprise guests or include the wedding party in special dance moments.
The primary difference is our combination of professional event hosting with genuine expertise in movement and timing. Most catering halls focus solely on food service and space rental, hoping everything else works out on its own.
Here, our background in dance instruction means we understand details that other venues miss—proper space flow for guest movement, how to coordinate special moments and entrances, and creating an atmosphere where people feel comfortable participating rather than just observing.
You also get the personalized attention that comes from working with a locally-focused business rather than a corporate venue chain. Every event receives individual planning and customization rather than a standard template approach. We take time to understand your specific vision and adapt our services accordingly.
For weddings and major celebrations, booking 8-12 months in advance gives you the best selection of dates, especially for popular seasons like spring and fall. However, we often accommodate events with 3-6 months notice, particularly for weekday events or off-peak seasons.
Corporate events and smaller celebrations typically have more flexibility since they’re often planned around business schedules rather than peak wedding seasons. The key is reaching out as soon as you have a general timeframe, even if other details aren’t finalized.
Earlier booking also allows more time for any special services like custom dance instruction or choreography planning. Instead of rushing through these details close to your event date, you can work with us over several months to perfect exactly what you want.
The base venue rental includes use of the main event space, standard tables and chairs, basic lighting, sound system access, and day-of coordination with your vendors for setup and breakdown. You also get professional event oversight to ensure everything runs on schedule.
Additional services like dance instruction, custom choreography, extended planning coordination, or specialty lighting are available separately. This lets you customize your package based on what you actually need rather than paying for bundled services you won’t use.
All pricing is transparent upfront—no surprise fees or hidden costs that appear later. We provide detailed proposals that break down exactly what’s included in your rental and what additional services cost, so you can make informed decisions about your budget and priorities.
