You want your event to be more than just another gathering. You want guests walking away talking about how special the night felt, how seamlessly everything flowed, how much fun they had on the dance floor.
That’s exactly what happens when you choose the right venue with the right team. Your celebration becomes the kind of event people reference years later when planning their own special occasions.
Our St. James location gives you both the elegant space and the dance expertise to make every moment count. No more worrying about whether your venue can handle your vision or if your guests will feel engaged throughout the entire event.
We at Ballroom Factory Dance Studio have been transforming celebrations in St. James, NY and throughout Suffolk County by combining two things most venues can’t: elegant event spaces and professional dance instruction.
What makes us different isn’t just our versatile venue – it’s our understanding that the best celebrations happen when people feel confident, engaged, and truly connected to the moment. Whether you’re planning a wedding reception where you want to wow guests with your first dance, or hosting a corporate event that needs that extra spark of entertainment, we bring both the space and the expertise.
Our St. James location serves the broader Suffolk County community with the kind of personalized attention you won’t find at larger, impersonal venues. We’ve helped countless couples create unforgettable wedding moments and transformed ordinary celebrations into extraordinary experiences that guests still talk about years later.
Planning your event starts with a conversation about your vision. We walk through your specific needs – the type of celebration, guest count, date preferences, and any special requirements like dance instruction or choreography.
Next, we show you our versatile space and discuss how we can customize the layout, lighting, and atmosphere to match your event’s personality. If dance is part of your celebration, we coordinate lessons or entertainment seamlessly into your timeline.
Finally, our team handles the logistics while you focus on enjoying your event. From setup to cleanup, sound systems to special lighting, we manage the details so you can be present for every memorable moment. Your guests leave impressed, and you leave knowing your celebration was exactly what you envisioned.

Our versatile party venue in St. James, NY accommodates a wide range of celebrations including weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, graduation parties, and private social gatherings. The space can be configured for intimate gatherings of 30 guests or larger celebrations of up to 150 people.
We specialize in events where dance plays a central role – whether that’s wedding receptions with first dance performances, corporate events with entertainment, or celebrations where guests want to dance throughout the evening. Our Suffolk County location and flexible layout options make us ideal for both formal and casual events.
What makes us unique is our ability to combine elegant venue rental with professional dance instruction, so if your celebration includes any dance elements, we can coordinate lessons, choreography, or entertainment as part of your package.
Yes, dance instruction is one of our specialties and can be seamlessly integrated into your event planning. For weddings, we offer first dance choreography, father-daughter and mother-son dance lessons, and even group lessons for wedding parties who want to surprise guests with coordinated performances.
For other celebrations, we can arrange group dance lessons as entertainment during your event, or provide private instruction leading up to your celebration if you want to feel confident on the dance floor. Our experienced instructors work with all skill levels and can teach various styles including ballroom, Latin, swing, and contemporary.
The dance instruction can be scheduled separately before your event, or we can incorporate live instruction as part of your celebration’s entertainment. Many clients in Suffolk County choose this combination because it ensures their guests stay engaged and creates memorable moments that photos and videos can’t fully capture.
Your venue rental includes the elegant event space with flexible seating arrangements, professional sound system, customizable lighting options, tables and chairs for your guest count, and our experienced event coordination team to ensure everything runs smoothly.
We also provide setup and cleanup services, so you can focus on enjoying your celebration rather than worrying about logistics. The space comes equipped with modern amenities including restroom facilities, climate control, and accessibility features for all guests.
Additional services available include catering coordination, bar service, dance instruction, entertainment booking, and decor customization to match your event’s theme. Our St. James location in Suffolk County offers convenient parking and easy access for guests traveling from throughout Long Island. We work with you to create a package that fits your specific needs and budget.
For the best availability, especially during peak wedding and celebration seasons, we recommend booking 3-6 months in advance. This timeline allows us to coordinate any dance instruction you might want, plan custom choreography, and ensure all your preferred dates and services are available.
However, we understand that some celebrations come together more quickly, and we often accommodate events with shorter notice depending on our calendar. Peak times in Suffolk County include spring through fall weekends, holiday periods, and graduation season, so these dates fill up fastest.
The earlier you book, the more time we have to work with you on personalizing every detail of your celebration. If dance lessons are part of your event, starting 2-3 months ahead gives couples or groups plenty of time to learn and practice without feeling rushed. Contact us as soon as you have a date in mind, and we’ll let you know what options are available.
While our primary venue space is indoors, we can work with you to incorporate outdoor elements into your St. James celebration depending on your specific vision and our current setup options. Many Suffolk County events benefit from a combination of indoor and outdoor spaces, especially for cocktail hours, photos, or seasonal celebrations.
Our indoor space provides climate-controlled comfort with professional lighting and sound systems, ensuring your event proceeds smoothly regardless of weather. For celebrations that want outdoor elements, we can discuss options during your consultation and coordinate with local vendors if needed.
The advantage of our indoor venue is the reliability – your celebration happens as planned without weather concerns, and guests are comfortable throughout the entire event. Our flexible space design allows us to create different atmospheres within the venue, from intimate conversation areas to open dance floors, giving you variety without weather dependency.
The key difference is our unique combination of elegant event venue and professional dance studio expertise. While other Suffolk County venues provide space, we provide space plus the ability to make dance a memorable part of your celebration through expert instruction and choreography.
Our personalized approach means you work directly with experienced professionals who understand both event planning and dance instruction. We’re not a large, impersonal venue where you’re just another booking – we take time to understand your vision and coordinate every detail to make it happen.
Located in St. James, we serve the broader Suffolk County area with convenient access for guests throughout Long Island. Our clients consistently tell us their events felt more engaging and memorable because guests participated in dancing rather than just watching from the sidelines. When you combine elegant space with expert dance instruction, you create celebrations that people talk about for years.
