Hear from Our Customers
You’re not planning just another event. You’re creating memories that matter, and that requires more than a generic ballroom and standard catering.
Our Miller Place catering hall combines elegant event space with something no other venue offers: professional dance instruction and choreography services. Your first dance doesn’t have to be awkward. Your guests don’t have to stand around making small talk all night.
When you choose Ballroom Factory, you get an event venue that understands celebration means movement, connection, and joy. Your wedding reception becomes the party everyone talks about for years. Your corporate event actually engages people instead of putting them to sleep.
We’ve been teaching Suffolk County residents to dance and hosting their most important celebrations for years. Not as separate services, but as one integrated experience.
Our team includes professional dance instructors who’ve competed nationally and performed across the United States. We understand how to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable moving, celebrating, and connecting with each other.
Miller Place families choose us because we treat every event like it matters. Whether you’re planning an intimate anniversary dinner or a 200-person wedding reception, you get the same attention to detail and personalized service that makes the difference between a nice event and an unforgettable one.
First, we meet to discuss your vision, guest count, and any special requirements. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a conversation about what you actually want your event to feel like.
Next, we walk through the space together so you can see how everything will work. Our hall can be configured for cocktail-style mingling, traditional sit-down dinners, or mixed arrangements that flow naturally from ceremony to reception to dancing.
Then we handle the details: catering coordination, setup, timeline management, and any dance instruction you want to include. On your event day, our team manages everything from behind the scenes while you focus on enjoying the celebration you’ve planned.

Your catering hall rental includes the configured event space, professional setup and breakdown, and experienced staff throughout your celebration. We coordinate with your chosen caterer or work with our preferred local partners who understand Suffolk County tastes and dietary preferences.
The sound system is designed for both speaking and dancing, with acoustics that work whether you’re hosting a quiet dinner or a lively reception. Our dance floor isn’t just pretty – it’s built to professional standards because we actually teach on it every day.
Miller Place’s location gives your guests easy access from across Long Island without the stress of navigating into Manhattan or fighting Hamptons traffic. Parking is straightforward, and the neighborhood setting feels elegant without being pretentious.
We’re the only venue that combines professional ballroom dance instruction with elegant event hosting. This means you can book dance lessons for your first dance, have our instructors teach your wedding party simple moves, or even incorporate dance entertainment into your corporate event.
Our space is designed by people who understand how events actually flow. The acoustics work for both conversation and music. The layout encourages natural mingling and movement. Most importantly, our team knows how to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable celebrating, not just attending.
You’re not just renting a room – you’re working with professionals who’ve spent years helping people feel confident and joyful in social settings.
For weddings and major celebrations, we recommend booking 6-12 months ahead, especially for spring and fall weekends when demand is highest across Long Island. However, we often have availability for events with shorter notice, particularly for weekday celebrations or during less busy seasons.
The booking timeline also depends on what additional services you want. If you’re interested in dance lessons leading up to your event, starting earlier gives you more time to prepare and feel confident. Some couples book a year ahead and use the time for regular lessons that become part of their wedding preparation experience.
Corporate events and smaller celebrations typically have more flexibility, and we can often accommodate requests with just a few weeks’ notice.
Standard packages include the configured event space, professional setup and breakdown, basic sound system, dance floor access, and event coordination on your celebration day. We handle vendor communication and timeline management so you don’t have to field questions during your own event.
Additional costs typically come from premium catering upgrades, extended service time beyond standard event duration, or specialty services like pre-event dance lessons or choreography instruction. We can also arrange for our instructors to provide entertainment or teach simple group dances during your celebration.
We provide detailed pricing upfront with no hidden fees. Unlike some venues, we don’t charge extra for basic items like standard setup, cake cutting, or normal coordination services that should be included anyway.
Absolutely. The space can be arranged for cocktail-style events, traditional banquet seating, or mixed configurations that accommodate different parts of your celebration. We work with you to create a layout that supports how you want your event to flow.
You can bring your own decorations and work with outside vendors for photography, flowers, or specialty services. We just need advance notice to coordinate timing and setup requirements. Our team will work with your other vendors to ensure everything comes together smoothly.
Some restrictions apply for safety reasons – no open flames or items that could damage the dance floor – but we’re generally flexible about personalizing the space to match your vision and style preferences.
We work with both arrangements. You can hire your own caterer if you have someone specific in mind, or we can connect you with our preferred local partners who understand Suffolk County preferences and have experience working in our space.
Our preferred caterers know the kitchen facilities, timing requirements, and setup logistics that make service run smoothly. We also understand how to coordinate with our event timeline, especially if you’re including any dance elements in your celebration.
Whether you choose your own caterer or work with our recommendations, we handle the coordination between all vendors so you don’t have to manage multiple moving pieces on your event day.
We offer everything from basic first dance lessons to complete choreographed routines for wedding parties. Many couples book a series of private lessons leading up to their wedding to feel confident and natural on their big day.
For the event itself, we can provide dance instruction for guests, organize group lessons during cocktail hour, or have our instructors perform demonstrations. Corporate events often include team-building dance activities or entertainment that gets people moving and interacting.
Our instructors are experienced in all ballroom and Latin styles – Waltz, Tango, Salsa, Cha-Cha, and more. We tailor the instruction to your comfort level and event style, whether you want something elegant and traditional or fun and energetic that gets everyone involved.
