You’re not looking for another sterile banquet hall where your event gets lost in the shuffle. You want a space that feels personal, where every detail matters, and where your vision actually comes to life.
That’s exactly what happens when you choose our Water Mill venue rental. Your guests won’t just attend your event—they’ll remember it. The combination of our elegant dance studio space, professional sound and lighting systems, and genuinely personalized service creates the kind of atmosphere that makes people talk about your celebration for years.
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding reception, milestone birthday party, or corporate gathering in Suffolk County, you get a venue that adapts to your needs instead of forcing you to work around limitations.
Ballroom Factory Dance Studio has been serving Water Mill and Suffolk County for years, and we’ve learned something important: great events happen when you combine the right space with people who actually care about the outcome.
Our venue isn’t just another rental hall. It’s a professional dance studio that transforms into whatever your event needs—from elegant wedding receptions to corporate celebrations. We’ve hosted everything from intimate gatherings of 30 to larger celebrations of 150+, and each one gets the same level of attention and care.
The Water Mill location puts you right in the heart of Suffolk County’s most desirable area, with easy access for guests coming from anywhere on Long Island. But more importantly, you’re working with a team that understands both the technical side of events and the personal side of celebrations.
First, we sit down and actually listen to what you’re planning. Not just the basics like date and guest count, but what you want people to feel when they walk into your event. What atmosphere you’re creating. What matters most to you about this celebration.
Then we walk through the space together so you can see how it transforms. Our venue features professional-grade sound and lighting systems, spacious dance floors, and the flexibility to be configured exactly how you envision it. We’ll discuss setup options, technical requirements, and any special requests you have.
Finally, we create a detailed plan that covers everything from the initial setup to the final cleanup. You’ll know exactly what’s included, what’s happening when, and who’s responsible for each element. No surprises, no hidden fees, no scrambling on event day because something wasn’t communicated properly.

Your venue rental includes access to our full sound system with wireless microphones, professional lighting that can be adjusted for any mood or time of day, and climate control to keep your guests comfortable regardless of the season. The space features beautiful hardwood floors, full-length mirrors that can be covered if desired, and flexible seating arrangements.
Water Mill’s location in Suffolk County means your guests have easy access to hotels, restaurants, and other amenities. Many of our clients appreciate being able to host their ceremony and reception in the same location, eliminating transportation concerns and keeping the celebration flowing smoothly.
We also provide tables, chairs, and basic setup services as part of your rental. If you need additional services like catering coordination, decoration setup, or extended event planning support, we work with trusted local vendors who understand our space and share our commitment to quality. The goal is simple: you focus on enjoying your event while we handle the logistics.
Your venue rental includes the complete use of our dance studio space, professional sound system with wireless microphones, adjustable lighting, climate control, tables, chairs, and basic setup services. We also provide access to our changing areas and include standard cleanup after your event.
The space can accommodate various configurations depending on your needs—from seated dinner arrangements to cocktail-style receptions to dance-focused celebrations. Our sound system is designed for both speaking and music, so whether you need background ambiance or full dance party volume, we’ve got you covered.
What sets us apart is the personal attention you receive throughout the planning process. We’re not just handing you keys to an empty room—we’re actively involved in making sure your event runs smoothly from start to finish.
For weekend events, especially during peak season (May through October), we recommend booking 6-12 months in advance. Suffolk County venues fill up quickly during wedding season, and popular dates like Saturday evenings go first.
However, we often have availability for weekday events or off-season celebrations with much shorter notice. If you’re planning a corporate event, birthday party, or other celebration that can be flexible with timing, you might find great availability just a few weeks out.
The best approach is to contact us as soon as you have a potential date in mind. Even if we can’t accommodate your first choice, we can usually suggest alternative dates that work just as well. We keep our calendar updated in real-time, so we’ll know immediately what’s available when you call.
Absolutely. Our Water Mill venue works beautifully for intimate gatherings of 25-30 people as well as larger celebrations of up to 150 guests. The key is in how we configure the space and adjust the lighting and sound to match the scale of your event.
For smaller gatherings, we create a more intimate atmosphere by focusing the lighting and arranging seating to encourage conversation and connection. The space feels cozy and personal, not empty or oversized.
For larger events, we open up the full space and use our professional lighting system to create energy and excitement. The dance floor becomes the focal point, and we arrange seating and staging areas to accommodate your guest count while maintaining good flow and sightlines throughout the venue.
The biggest difference is that we’re not just a rental hall—we’re a professional dance studio that transforms into an event venue. This means you get features that most traditional venues don’t offer: professional-grade sound systems designed for music, spacious dance floors with proper flooring, and lighting that can create any atmosphere you want.
More importantly, you work directly with people who understand both the technical and personal aspects of celebrations. We’ve choreographed hundreds of wedding dances, taught couples their first dance, and helped families create memorable moments. That experience translates into better event planning and execution.
You also get genuine personal attention throughout the process. We’re not managing 15 events on the same weekend—we focus on making your celebration exceptional rather than just processing another booking through our system.
Yes, we work with outside vendors and actually prefer this approach because it gives you more control over your event’s style and budget. We maintain relationships with several trusted caterers, photographers, and other service providers in the Suffolk County area who know our space well.
What we provide is coordination support to make sure all your vendors have the information they need about load-in times, setup requirements, and venue logistics. We’ll share floor plans, discuss timing, and make sure everyone’s on the same page before your event day.
This approach typically saves you money compared to all-inclusive venues while giving you more choices about food, flowers, entertainment, and other services. You get to work with vendors who match your style and budget rather than being locked into preset packages that might not fit what you actually want.
Our pricing is straightforward and based on the length of your event and day of the week. Weekend evening rates are higher than weekday or daytime events, and we offer significant discounts for off-season bookings (November through April).
The base rental includes everything mentioned earlier—space, sound, lighting, tables, chairs, and setup. Additional services like extended rental time, special lighting arrangements, or extra coordination support are available at clear, upfront rates with no hidden fees.
We’re happy to provide detailed pricing during our initial consultation because costs can vary based on your specific needs and timing. The goal is to give you a complete picture of investment upfront so you can make informed decisions about your event budget. Most couples find our rates very competitive compared to other quality venues in Suffolk County, especially when you factor in what’s included.
