Hear from Our Customers
You want your celebration to feel effortless, not stressful. That’s exactly what happens when you choose a venue designed by people who understand movement, timing, and creating magical moments.
Your guests will notice the difference immediately. The professional-grade dance floor that actually feels good under their feet. The sound system that carries every word of your toast clearly. The layout that naturally encourages mingling and connection.
But here’s what really sets us apart: we don’t just rent you a space and walk away. Our team brings years of experience in creating special moments, from first wedding dances to milestone celebrations. We understand that your event isn’t just another booking—it’s your story unfolding.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been creating memorable experiences in Suffolk County for years, and our catering hall represents everything we’ve learned about what makes celebrations truly special.
We’re not your typical event venue. Our background in dance instruction means we understand how people move through space, how to create atmosphere, and most importantly, how to help you feel confident and comfortable on your big day.
Middle Island families choose us because we combine professional expertise with genuine care. We’ve hosted everything from intimate anniversary parties to grand wedding receptions, and each event benefits from our unique perspective on celebration and movement.
Getting your perfect event starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss your vision, guest count, and any special requirements during your initial consultation. No pressure, no hard sell—just honest guidance about what will work best for your celebration.
Next, we’ll schedule a walkthrough so you can experience the space firsthand. You’ll see how the room flows, test the acoustics, and start visualizing your event coming to life. This is when most clients get excited about the possibilities.
From there, we work together to customize every detail. Whether you need our custom choreography services for a special dance, want specific lighting arrangements, or have dietary requirements for catering, we handle the coordination. On event day, our team manages the logistics so you can focus entirely on enjoying your celebration.

Our catering partnerships feature local Suffolk County vendors who understand Long Island tastes and preferences. From classic comfort foods to elegant plated dinners, we can accommodate everything from casual family gatherings to formal celebrations. Special dietary needs, cultural preferences, and custom menu requests are all part of our standard service.
Our base package includes the venue space for your specified hours, professional sound system with wireless microphones, customizable lighting, round tables and chairs for your guest count, and linens in your choice of colors. We also provide basic setup and breakdown services.
What sets us apart is our expertise in event flow and guest experience. As dance professionals, we understand how to arrange spaces that feel welcoming and encourage natural interaction. You’ll also have access to our custom choreography services if you want to add special dance elements to your celebration.
Additional services like catering, bar service, and extended rental hours can be added based on your specific needs. We work with trusted local vendors and can coordinate these services for you, or you’re welcome to bring your own preferred providers.
For wedding receptions and major celebrations, we recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for popular dates like spring and fall weekends. However, we’ve successfully accommodated events with just a few weeks’ notice when our schedule allows.
Suffolk County has a busy event season, particularly from May through October. If you have flexibility with your date, you’ll have more options and potentially better pricing. Winter celebrations often offer more availability and can be just as magical with the right planning.
The booking process is straightforward once you’re ready to move forward. We require a deposit to secure your date, with the balance due closer to your event. We’ll provide a detailed timeline and checklist to help you stay organized throughout the planning process.
Absolutely. We work with several catering partners who specialize in various cuisines and dietary accommodations. Whether you need kosher, halal, vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options, we can connect you with the right caterer for your needs.
Long Island’s diverse community means our catering partners understand cultural food traditions and can create authentic menus that honor your heritage. From Italian family-style dinners to Indian celebration feasts, we’ve helped coordinate meals that truly reflect our clients’ backgrounds and preferences.
If you have specific vendors you prefer to work with, we welcome outside caterers and will coordinate with them to ensure smooth service. Our kitchen facilities can accommodate most catering setups, and we’ll work directly with your chosen providers to handle logistics and timing.
Our unique background in dance instruction gives us insights that traditional venues simply don’t have. We understand how people move through space, how to create atmosphere that encourages celebration, and most importantly, how to help you feel confident and comfortable during your special moments.
The dance floor isn’t just an afterthought here—it’s professionally maintained and designed for actual dancing. Our sound system is calibrated for both speaking and music, ensuring your toasts are heard clearly and your celebration music sounds fantastic. We can even provide custom choreography services if you want to surprise your guests with a special dance.
Our approach is also more personal than larger commercial venues. We limit the number of events we host to ensure each client receives individual attention throughout the planning process. You’re not just another booking to us—you’re someone whose special day we’re genuinely invested in making perfect.
Yes, and this is one of our most popular combinations. Many couples book our catering hall specifically because they can also prepare for their first dance, father-daughter dance, or other special moments with our professional instructors.
We offer flexible lesson packages that can be scheduled leading up to your event. Whether you want to learn a simple, elegant dance or create something more elaborate to surprise your guests, our instructors will work at your pace and comfort level. We’ve taught everyone from complete beginners to couples wanting to brush up on skills they haven’t used in years.
The advantage of learning where you’ll actually be dancing is significant. You’ll be familiar with the space, the floor, and the acoustics on your wedding day. Plus, we can coordinate the music and timing perfectly since we’re handling both the lessons and the venue. It’s one less thing to worry about during an already busy planning period.
We encourage you to personalize the space to match your vision. You’re welcome to bring your own decorations, work with outside decorators, and coordinate with other vendors like photographers, florists, and entertainers. We just ask that any modifications to the space be discussed in advance.
Our team can recommend trusted local vendors if you need suggestions, or we’re happy to work with professionals you’ve already chosen. We’ll provide floor plans and coordinate timing for setup and breakdown to ensure everything runs smoothly on event day.
For decorations, we ask that nothing be permanently attached to walls or ceilings without prior approval. Most standard party decorations, centerpieces, and temporary installations are perfectly fine. We want your event to reflect your personality and style, so we work with you to make your decorating vision a reality while protecting the venue for future events.
