Your guests will remember more than just the food and decorations. They’ll remember how the evening felt – the energy on our professional dance floor, the seamless flow between dinner and dancing, the way everyone seemed comfortable and engaged.
You’re not just renting a space. You’re securing a venue where your celebration unfolds naturally, where your guests feel welcomed from the moment they arrive, and where every detail supports the experience you envisioned.
Whether you’re planning an intimate anniversary dinner or a 150-person wedding reception, our flexible space adapts to your needs without forcing you into someone else’s template.
We’ve been creating memorable celebrations in Suffolk County for years, understanding exactly what makes events successful in our diverse community. We’re not a traditional catering hall – we’re better.
Our Gordon Heights location serves families from across Long Island who want something different from the typical banquet hall experience. You get professional-grade facilities with the warmth and attention that only comes from a locally-owned business.
We know Gordon Heights families value authenticity, quality, and celebrations that honor their traditions while creating new memories.
First, we discuss your vision during a consultation where you see the space and we understand your specific needs. No pressure, no sales pitch – just honest conversation about what you want to achieve.
Next, we customize the space layout and coordinate the details. Our team handles setup, manages vendors if needed, and ensures everything runs smoothly during your event. You focus on your guests while we handle logistics.
After your celebration, we manage cleanup so you can enjoy the afterglow of a successful event. Many clients tell us they felt like guests at their own party because we handled everything behind the scenes.

Our catering hall rental includes professional-grade sound systems, elegant lighting options, and flexible seating arrangements that work for both dinner service and dancing. The space transforms seamlessly from cocktail reception to dinner to dance party.
Gordon Heights families appreciate our understanding of diverse celebration styles – from traditional wedding receptions to quinceañeras, anniversary parties to corporate events. We’ve hosted celebrations for Suffolk County’s Caribbean, Hispanic, Italian, and African American communities, adapting our service to honor different cultural traditions.
Unlike typical catering halls that rush you through predetermined packages, we offer flexible timing and customizable amenities. Need extra time for a traditional ceremony? Want to incorporate live music with our sound system? Planning a surprise element? We make it work.
We’re actually a professional dance studio that transforms into an elegant event space, giving you something no traditional catering hall can offer – a genuine ballroom-quality dance floor and optional dance instruction services.
Our space feels intimate and welcoming rather than institutional. You’re working with dance professionals who understand celebration and movement, not just venue rental. Many clients incorporate dance lessons into their wedding planning or surprise their guests with choreographed moments during the reception.
The Gordon Heights location provides easy access for guests throughout Suffolk County while offering competitive pricing compared to waterfront venues that charge premium rates for their location alone.
For wedding receptions and major celebrations, we recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for popular dates like Saturday evenings and holiday weekends. However, we often accommodate events with shorter notice for smaller gatherings or weekday celebrations.
Suffolk County’s event calendar fills up quickly during peak wedding season (May through October), but our flexible approach means we can sometimes work with dates that traditional catering halls can’t accommodate due to their rigid scheduling requirements.
We maintain a waitlist for popular dates and will contact you if something becomes available. Many successful events happen on Friday evenings or Sunday afternoons when you get the same great service with more scheduling flexibility.
We work with a network of trusted caterers who know our space and have successfully served events here, but you’re not locked into using our preferred vendors if you have someone specific in mind. Our goal is making your event successful, not controlling every vendor relationship.
Many Gordon Heights families prefer working with caterers who understand their cultural cuisine requirements. We’ve successfully coordinated with Caribbean caterers, Italian specialty services, kosher providers, and traditional American wedding caterers.
We handle all coordination with your chosen caterer regarding setup times, equipment needs, and cleanup requirements. This eliminates the back-and-forth communication that often creates stress when venues and caterers haven’t worked together before.
Your rental includes the complete venue space, professional sound system, basic lighting package, tables and chairs for your guest count, and setup/cleanup coordination. We also provide a dedicated staff member during your event to handle any issues that arise.
The space includes our professional dance floor, which is maintained to ballroom competition standards – not the typical portable flooring that many venues install temporarily. You also get access to our dressing areas for wedding parties or performers.
Unlike venues that charge separately for every amenity, our pricing is straightforward. Additional costs only apply for extended hours, special lighting requests, or if you want to add dance instruction services for your guests during the celebration.
Absolutely. Gordon Heights’ diverse community has taught us to adapt our services for different cultural traditions, from Caribbean steel drum performances to traditional Italian wedding customs, quinceañera celebrations, and African American family reunion styles.
We’ve hosted celebrations where families needed specific space arrangements for cultural ceremonies, accommodated traditional music that requires particular sound system settings, and worked with decorators who specialize in cultural themes that reflect families’ heritage.
Our experience with Suffolk County’s multicultural community means we understand timing differences, special dietary coordination requirements, and how different cultures approach celebration. We don’t treat every event the same because every family’s traditions deserve respect and proper accommodation.
This is where our unique combination of dance studio and event venue really shines. We can arrange group dance lessons as part of your celebration – either before the event as preparation or during the party as entertainment for your guests.
Many wedding couples book private lessons with our instructors leading up to their reception, then surprise guests with a choreographed first dance. We’ve also provided group salsa lessons during cocktail hour, or taught simple partner dances that get everyone on the floor together.
The instruction happens right in your event space using the same professional dance floor where your celebration takes place. Your guests learn from the same experienced instructors who teach our regular dance classes, not entertainment staff who know basic steps. It’s authentic dance instruction that creates lasting memories and gets everyone participating.
