You want your guests talking about your event for years to come. Our ballroom provides the perfect backdrop for those magical moments you’ve been envisioning.
Picture your wedding reception where guests naturally flow onto our professional dance floor, or your anniversary celebration where every detail reflects your personal style. The space adapts to your vision, not the other way around.
You get more than just four walls and a floor. You get a venue that understands celebrations matter, where your event becomes the experience you’ve been planning in your head.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been creating memorable celebrations in Suffolk County for years. Our expertise goes beyond just providing space – we understand what makes events truly special.
Located in the heart of Setauket, we’ve hosted countless weddings, anniversaries, and private celebrations. Our background in professional dance instruction brings a unique perspective to event hosting that traditional venues simply can’t match.
You’re not just renting a room. You’re working with people who know how celebrations should flow, how guests move through space, and what details make the difference between ordinary and extraordinary.
First, you’ll tour the space and discuss your vision. We’ll walk you through the ballroom, show you layout options, and answer questions about capacity, timing, and logistics.
Next, we’ll create a customized rental package that fits your needs and budget. Whether you need the space for three hours or an entire day, we work with your schedule, not against it.
On event day, you focus on your guests while we handle the venue details. The space is prepared according to your specifications, and our team ensures everything runs smoothly from setup to cleanup.

The ballroom features a professional-grade dance floor, elegant lighting, and sound system capabilities. The space comfortably accommodates intimate gatherings and larger celebrations, with flexible layout options to match your event style.
Suffolk County couples particularly appreciate our venue’s unique character – it’s not another cookie-cutter banquet hall. The dance studio atmosphere adds elegance without stuffiness, creating the perfect setting for celebrations that feel both special and comfortable.
You also have the option to add professional dance instruction to your event. Imagine surprising your wedding guests with a choreographed first dance, or adding a fun group lesson to your anniversary party. It’s these personal touches that transform good events into unforgettable ones.
Your venue rental includes full access to the ballroom space, professional dance floor, basic lighting, and tables and chairs for your guest count. The rental also includes setup and breakdown time, so you’re not rushed.
You’ll have access to the sound system for music and announcements, plus climate control to keep your guests comfortable year-round. Parking is included for all your guests, which is often overlooked but crucial for Long Island events.
The space comes cleaned and ready for your event, and post-event cleanup is handled by our team. You focus on hosting; we handle the logistics that can stress out event planners.
For wedding receptions and major celebrations, booking 6-12 months in advance gives you the best selection of dates, especially for popular times like spring and fall weekends. Suffolk County venues fill up quickly during peak season.
Corporate events and smaller celebrations often have more flexibility, with bookings possible 2-3 months out. However, if you have a specific date in mind, earlier is always better to avoid disappointment.
We maintain a calendar that shows real-time availability, so you’ll know immediately if your preferred date is open. Popular dates like Valentine’s Day weekend or New Year’s Eve typically book a year in advance.
The ballroom comfortably accommodates 50-120 guests depending on your event layout and activities planned. For seated dinner receptions, we typically recommend 80-100 guests for optimal comfort and flow.
If your event focuses more on dancing and mingling with limited seating, the space can handle up to 120 people. For intimate celebrations like anniversary parties or small wedding receptions, 50-75 guests creates a perfect atmosphere.
We’ll work with you during the planning process to determine the ideal guest count based on your specific event style, seating preferences, and activities planned. The goal is ensuring every guest feels comfortable and can fully enjoy the celebration.
Yes, you can bring your own catering or work with caterers of your choice. This flexibility allows you to control food costs and menu options, which many Suffolk County couples appreciate when planning their budget.
The venue provides basic kitchen access for caterers to set up and serve, including refrigeration space and prep areas. We’ve worked with numerous local caterers and can provide recommendations if you need suggestions.
You’re also welcome to handle your own bar service or work with licensed bartenders. This approach gives you complete control over your menu and beverage selection, often resulting in significant cost savings compared to venues with mandatory catering requirements.
The biggest difference is the professional dance floor and the expertise that comes with it. While other venues might have basic flooring, our space was designed specifically for dancing, which makes a huge difference for wedding receptions and celebrations.
Our background in dance instruction means we understand how people move through space, how to create natural flow for events, and what makes guests feel comfortable participating in dancing. It’s knowledge that traditional venues simply don’t have.
The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance – elegant enough for formal celebrations but welcoming enough that guests don’t feel intimidated. Plus, you have the unique option to add professional dance instruction to your event, creating memories that generic venues can’t offer.
Rental rates vary based on event duration, guest count, and specific needs, but we work with budgets ranging from intimate celebrations to larger wedding receptions. We believe in transparent pricing without hidden fees that surprise you later.
Most Suffolk County venue rentals include a base rate for the space plus additional charges for extended hours, extra setup requirements, or additional services. We’ll provide a detailed quote that breaks down exactly what you’re paying for.
During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your budget openly and suggest package options that maximize value for your specific event. Many couples find our rates competitive with traditional catering halls, but with much more flexibility and personal attention.
