Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been creating unforgettable moments across Suffolk County for years. What started as a premier dance instruction studio naturally evolved into one of the area’s most sought-after event venues.
Located in the heart of Suffolk County, we serve Shelter Island and surrounding communities with a unique combination most venues can’t offer—professional event space paired with expert dance instruction. This means your wedding party can perfect their first dance in the same elegant space where they’ll celebrate.
We understand Shelter Island’s discerning event standards. From waterfront wedding receptions to milestone anniversary parties, we’ve helped countless families create celebrations that feel authentically theirs, not like every other event you’ve attended.
First, you’ll tour the space and discuss your vision. No pressure, no rushed timeline—just an honest conversation about what you’re hoping to create. We’ll walk you through layout options, capacity considerations, and how our services can complement your plans.
Next comes the planning phase. Our experienced team helps you design the perfect setup, coordinate with your preferred vendors, or recommend trusted partners we’ve worked with for years. If you’re planning a wedding, this is when many couples add dance lessons to perfect their first dance or surprise guests with choreographed moments.
On event day, our professional staff handles setup, coordination, and ensures everything runs smoothly. You focus on celebrating while we manage the details. After your event, we handle breakdown and cleanup, so you can extend those special moments with family and friends.

You get the sophistication Shelter Island expects with the personal service that makes all the difference.
Your hall rental includes the venue space for your specified time, professional sound system, customizable lighting options, tables and chairs, climate control, and dedicated event coordination. Setup and breakdown are handled by our professional staff.
Additional services like dance lessons, specialized decor, catering coordination, and extended rental hours can be added to create a completely customized package. Many Shelter Island clients appreciate having everything coordinated through one team rather than managing multiple vendors.
We provide detailed proposals outlining exactly what’s included, so there are no surprises or hidden fees. Your investment covers everything discussed during planning, with transparent pricing for any additions you choose.
For Shelter Island events, especially during peak wedding season (May through October), booking 6-12 months in advance ensures you get your preferred date. However, we’ve accommodated beautiful celebrations with just a few months’ notice when our schedule allows.
Suffolk County’s event calendar fills quickly during popular months, but we maintain flexibility for last-minute celebrations when possible. Corporate events and smaller gatherings often have more scheduling flexibility than large weddings.
The earlier you book, the more time we have to perfect every detail of your celebration. This extra planning time often results in more personalized touches and seamless execution that makes your event memorable for all the right reasons.
Absolutely. Our hall rental in Shelter Island NY works beautifully for events that want to blend indoor elegance with outdoor elements. Many couples choose to have their ceremony in a nearby outdoor location and reception in our climate-controlled indoor space.
We coordinate with Shelter Island’s beautiful outdoor venues and can recommend trusted partners for tented additions, outdoor ceremony sites, or cocktail hour spaces that complement our indoor facilities. Our team has extensive experience managing events that flow between different areas.
Weather contingency planning is always part of our service. We help you create backup plans that maintain the elegance and flow of your celebration, regardless of weather conditions. Your guests will enjoy seamless transitions and comfort throughout your event.
Dance lessons are available as an add-on service that many of our Shelter Island clients love. Our professional instructors can teach you a simple, elegant first dance or create custom choreography that surprises your guests.
Lessons typically begin 6-8 weeks before your event, with flexible scheduling to accommodate busy lives. We teach everything from classic waltz and foxtrot to contemporary styles and fun surprise dances. Many couples find these lessons become a favorite part of their wedding planning process.
The same instructors who teach your dance lessons will be familiar with your event space, ensuring your performance looks perfect on your big day. This coordination between dance instruction and venue management creates seamless, memorable moments that generic venues simply can’t provide.
Unlike typical banquet halls, we combine professional event space with dance expertise under one roof. This means your wedding party can perfect their moves in the same elegant space where they’ll celebrate, creating comfort and confidence that shows in every photo and video.
Our Suffolk County location offers the sophisticated atmosphere Shelter Island clients expect, but with personalized service that makes each event feel unique. We limit the number of events we host to ensure every celebration receives focused attention and customized details.
The difference our clients notice most is the seamless coordination. Instead of managing multiple vendors for venue, music, dance instruction, and event coordination, you work with one experienced team that understands how all these elements work together to create extraordinary celebrations.
We understand that life circumstances can change, especially in today’s uncertain times. Our contracts include reasonable flexibility for date changes, guest count adjustments, and service modifications as your plans evolve.
For date changes due to circumstances beyond your control, we work with you to find alternative dates that work for both parties, often without additional fees. Menu changes, decor adjustments, and service additions can typically be modified up to two weeks before your event.
Cancellation policies vary based on timing and circumstances, but we always aim to be fair and understanding. We’d rather work with you to create a celebration that fits your current situation than enforce rigid policies that don’t serve anyone. Our goal is ensuring your Shelter Island event happens beautifully, whatever adjustments are needed.
