    The most magical day made easy by the wonderful staff and venue.

    The Village Club was the perfect spot for the wedding of our dreams. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful space with incredible staff. Barry and Amy were so attentive and made the planning so easy and fun. They were very accommodating with the menu (we had a lot of gluten free and vegetarian guests). All the food was delicious. The day of we felt so confident knowing everything was handled.
    They did a great job communicating with all the vendors. They were always available to answer any and all questions we had. They do one wedding at a time in the space. The space is so gorgeous in all seasons-we had a January wedding and got beautiful snowy pictures. We even got to have a fabulous after party with a fire pit, s'mores and more bites (which were all amazing). Would recommend the Village Club to any and everyone!

    Fantastic Wedding

    The village club at lake success was a fabulous venue for our wedding—in fact, many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Our guests loved the food—it was very tasty and there was lots of it! The staff was also incredible, they accommodated the requests of our guests quickly, always with smiles on their faces. The ballroom was simply stunning and there was space on the dance floor for our 200+ guests for the hora. Barry and Amy manage to do the impossible—they seamlessly orchestrated our event—including many transitions from a tisch and badeken, to a ceremony, to a cocktail hour, to the reception, all flawlessly. They handled the coordination with all of our vendors such that we didn’t need a day of coordinator. They also had excellent vendor recommendations—everyone we worked with at their recommendation was amazing. You can trust them completely with your event.

    *Pure Perfection*

    The Village Club at Lake Success really deserves more stars than I can give here. Barry, Amy, and their incredible team are really what makes this place special. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was, the venue is stunning, and the staff was on point. We had a magical night for our wedding reception, and it's all thanks to them. Not a single beat was missed and I cannot recommend this venue enough. Barry and Amy, thank you again for everything you did to make our night perfect!

We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding such a perfect night! Thank you Barry, Amy, and your entire team for making our wedding memorable for a lifetime. It is perfect!

    if you're on the hunt for an exceptional venue, don't hesitate – head straight to the Village Club of Lake Success!

    If you're in search of a remarkable wedding venue, look no further than the Village Club at Lake Success – book it immediately! I found myself in a wedding emergency situation when my original venue canceled just 27 days before the big day. Luckily, when I reached out, Barry informed me that they had my desired date available.

    As someone who never had a clear vision of my dream wedding day, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The venue and the staff exceeded all expectations. It was an exceptional combination of a stunning location, delectable food, and an outstanding team. Amy and Barry, in particular, are an unbeatable duo, ensuring that every moment goes smoothly and you feel completely at ease on your special day.

    From the moment you arrive, the grounds are absolutely breathtaking, with the ceremony space overlooking the pond and golf course – an ideal backdrop for photos.

    My guests had the time of their lives, and the reviews for the food and drinks were nothing short of rave-worthy. I couldn't have chosen a better venue!

    Barry, I can't thank you enough for putting a bride at ease who had less than 30 days to plan a new wedding.

    To all brides out there, if you're on the hunt for an exceptional venue, don't hesitate – head straight to the Village Club of Lake Success!

    Thanks so much!!!!

    Wedding Review - VCLS

    I immediately fell in love with the VCLS venue upon my first tour. We had some ups and downs with a previous caterer, but once Barry and his Culinart team took over they truly blew us away. I was in a very unique situation, living four hours away from the venue and not knowing who my caterer would be until 90 days before my wedding. Barry answered every one of my nervous phone calls and did absolutely everything he could to put my mind at ease (whether that meant multiple calls a day, everyday). Barry is extremely knowledgeable and responsive to any questions you may have. Barry and Amy make an amazing team and created the wedding of our dreams. They understood every one of my visions and worked so hard to make it all come to life. Our guests were truly impressed with the venue and they cannot stop talking about the food or the high level of service. I highly recommend Barry and the culinart team at VCLS to anyone. My wedding was the best day of my life, but meeting Barry was the second.

    Blown away!

    We have only wonderful things to say about our wedding at The Village Club At Lake Success. We worked with Barry, who was NOTHING short of amazing, from day one. There were a few unexpected hiccups along the way, like with anything, but we felt confident moving forward and working with Barry through it all. With so many moving parts, it is so important to work with someone who crosses their T’s and dots their I’s, especially with a type A bride. It is so hard to picture everything coming together with so many moving parts but with the hard work of someone like Barry, it is so very possible and exceeded many of our expectations. The whole day and night went incredibly smooth, which was not what we thought whatsoever, we expected craziness and havoc, but Barry literally took care of it all, and just so effortlessly.
    In terms of our bridal attendant, Amy, oh my goodness, all the ladies LOVED her. Amy was superb as well. She was on top of all of us, in the best way, making sure we were all well fed and hydrated. She was our eyes, ears, brain, and SO much more. Barry and Amy together, A. DREAM. TEAM. Whoever gets Amy as a bridal attendant, you are so very lucky. We met her very early on in our planning process, and while it was not guaranteed we would have her, I requested for her specifically and I am so grateful it worked in our favor. We will forever be grateful to have worked with Barry & Amy. And as for Village Club At Lake Success, it was made to be STUNNING for our special day. It is beautiful on a regular day, but for our event, it was, (as so many people also told us) so elegant, classy, stunning, and beautiful! A day and night we will always remember.
    As for the food, DELICIOUS!!!! We heard nothing but GREAT things about the food from so many of our guests. Cocktail hour was AMAZING. Children, young adults and adults really came hungry and ready to EAT. The stations, pass arounds, just everything was so fresh and delicious. Our cake was just what we asked for, we went with the naked cake vibe and it looked STUNNING, so classy and tasted delish! The pass around desserts were so fun, and the enhancement NYC pretzel stand on the way out was worth every penny...

    Perfect!!!!!!!!!

    My daughter and son-in-law were married at the Village Club in September. It was truly the most spectacular night and any planning leading up to it that involved the venue was seamless. Barry was uber responsive and on top of every single detail as we planned the wedding and of course the night of. I'm a very detail oriented person but with Barry running the show I knew that we we were in good hands. The space is perfect - not overdone at all but it exudes an elegant and warm feeling. The grounds are beautiful for pictures and an outdoor ceremony/ cocktail hour if you're in that season. I was enjoying all of our guests so I didn't have time to eat but everyone raved about the food. In addition to it being delicious and more than plentiful the presentation was spectacular. The service was excellent and I need to give a shout out to Mariana, my daughter's bridal attendant. Unfortunately Amy had covid and we missed her but again Barry was on it and Mariana worked out great. She anticipated anything that we could possibly need including making sure that our car was loaded up at the end of the evening. I can't possibly thank Barry and everyone else that worked that night enough!

    All around amazing venue

    My husband and I got married here in September and we cannot say enough amazing things about it! From the beginning to the end, everything was more than perfect. The venue itself is beautiful, especially the reception room and area for outdoor ceremony. Barry was always responsive, quick to answer any questions and help with all and any details that we may not have even thought of. The day of, Amy was extremely helpful, making sure everything was perfect during every minute. They really know how to run a great wedding and we had no doubts that everything would run smoothly. The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party were all amazing, every single guest mentioned to us how amazing the food was. This venue and team really made for a dream wedding and we can’t thank them enough!

    Wedding of Our Dreams

    My husband and I got married at The Village Club at Lake Success on August 13th, 2022 and had the wedding of our dreams. From the onset we loved the rustic/modern elegant vibe of the venu: dark wood floors and accent brick wall in the ballroom, with the option for an outdoor ceremony, and indoor/outdoor cocktail hour (weather permitting). August 13th was a beautiful day and we were able to have both our ceremony and cocktail hour outside like we had hoped for.

    As we wanted a bit more of this rustic feel throughout our wedding we brought in wine barrels from an outside vendor and had this as a focal point for the outdoor space of the cocktail hour. From the onset Barry assured us that this would all work out and our vision would come to life. This sure did happen on the day of  our wedding and it was recognized and noted by many of our wedding guests. Barry also repurposed these wine barrels with floral arrangements from our memory table to display the beautiful dessert wedding favors that were for guests to take as they left the wedding. 

    The many conversations, emails, questions, and phone calls with Barry leading up to the wedding truly went a long way, as our wedding day went off without a hitch and was truly perfect in every sense of the word. There were many details that we discussed with Barry throughout after being guests at many weddings, all which were taken into account on our wedding day (i.e- flow of the party (no lull), flow of the bar (no long lines), location of keyboard player at cocktail hour, placement of signature cocktail napkins, setup of the bar in the ballroom, reserved tables for ederly grandparents, reserved rows at the ceremony for immediate family etc). The night of our tasting with our parents, we spent a great deal of time with Barry and Amy walking through not only the menu for the party but all of the details for the big day.We spoke about the food, the food choices, the quantity of food, and variety of food at great lengths (must have a lot of lamb chops, bud light, and for espresso martinis to be available at the bar with chocolate beans). We also added on a sushi bar which our guests couldn't stop talking about. They addressed all of our questions, concerns and ensured us that all would be taken care of. Barry is honest, to the point, and will tell you how it is.You can tell how passionate he is in what he does. 

    The day of our wedding I remember arriving at the Village Club with my mom, mother-in-law, and two sisters. Barry and Amy met us out front, and Barry was so excited to show me everything that was currently going on, how the room looked so far (table set and florals in place), the signage that was in place, the team that was putting the chuppah structure together, the ceremony set up etc. It was such an overwhelming moment of joy seeing the beginning of our dream wedding come to life. Barry even called me the morning of the wedding to check in and also was running small items by me and Mike prior the to the start of the wedding (set up of the wine barrels outside, setup of additional tables/chairs on the patio, setup of the hightops/ tables in the grill room etc).

    Barry and Amy are a hard working and dedicated team and know how to run a party. Myself, Mike and our families can not thank you enough: Barry, Amy, and the entire Village Club staff. For days and weeks after the wedding we received such amazing and heartfelt words from friends and family at how beautiful of a wedding it was. From the venue, to the incredible and plentiful amount of food/drinks, the dessert parade, to the flow of the party, the band, the florals and more. Months after the wedding we are still talking about and reminiscing and on how perfect our wedding was with each other and our families. We truly feel so lucky!

    Super Special Wedding Venue

    While there are many Country Club Venues on Long Island, there really isn’t any one Country Club anything like The Village Club at Lake Success. Why? Not only is the Village Club beautiful (for an outdoor ceremony/cocktail overlooking a lake or indoors with an outrageous brick wall). The staff are pleasant, they happen to have AMAZING food, and a knockout sushi presentation. There's a bridge to capture that picture, and then..... there are 2 people that just make it all; well, perfect! Barry Rosenthal and Amy Chachkes.
    The bride and groom wanted a ‘farm’ feel in a contemporary setting; it happened. While we did rent items, Barry made sure to repurpose them. For our tasting, Barry answered a lot of questions, and Amy joined us. There were 6 of us with different ideas, questions and attitudes and they listened to everything. We came up with a menu that didn’t ‘break’ the bank, yet was everything to all of us. They actually talked us out of a few of the ‘extras’ when they clearly could have sold us.

    On the day of my son and DIL’s wedding, the staff was friendly, professional and clearly understands Barry’s vision. They saw my 90 year old mom, and my DIL’s 96 year old Gramma, and made sure to put a ‘reserved’ sign at a table at the cocktail hour so they’d have seating close to the door.

    Amy is Barry’s left hand; she pretty much can complete his sentences. They work ‘that’ well together. She is just a gift. She made sure our August wedding was super cool indoors. She helped with so much, kept us running on time and just made everything easy. We did have a day of coordinator; but Amy was that as well in addition to being our bridal attendant. They worked flawlessly together. My sandals, which had fit perfectly at home, kept slipping off as I walked. Amy had double sided tape, which was a godsend. She has an arsenal of tools and tricks for sure. While she's there to make sure the bride is truly taken care of, she was there on the day of for all of us.

    As our guests were leaving at the end of our amazing evening, I had brought in unique cookies and desserts. I thought they’d be displayed on a round table, simply for guests to take on their way out. Barry, could have left things like that, but he arranged for the farm barrels to be brought up front, and an unbelievable looking display was waiting complete with flowers, unique baskets, vases and lights.

    Normally, months after an affair, one can always find something to ‘pick on,’ or change for ‘the next one’. Our wedding was in August. We are almost into January, and there is not one thing comes to mind to change. Forever grateful to Barry Rosenthal and Amy Chachkes for making our kids wedding an amazing night to remember.

    The venue is a nice mix of modern and simplicity. Barry and Amy are a great team!

    My husband and I got married at Village Club at Lake Success in June 2022. Upon meeting Barry at the initial walk through of the venue I knew he would help us put on a flawless wedding. During the entire planning process Barry was extremely easy to work with and helpful every step of the way; giving ideas of things he has seen couples do in the past but also providing honest feedback on what he thought wasn’t necessary (my parents definitely appreciated that). The day of the wedding Amy helped my husband and I while Barry ran back of house. Amy and Barry make an amazing duo. They both took the stress off of us and handled every single thing we could have possibly thought of including packing up all of our extras at the end of the wedding. Now let’s talk about the most beautiful important part: the food. The immense amount of options is what initially drew me to VCLS. I had Amy hold off on opening the doors for guests to cocktail hour because I couldn’t stop indulging! Not only was there so many options to choose from but every single thing was amazing. Everyone left our wedding raving about the food. The venue itself is also gorgeous. A nice balance between modern and simplicity. We’re looking for any excuse to have another party so we can have it at the village club at lake success!

    Sheer Perfection!

    As the mother of the bride, I can’t rave enough about our experience with Barry Rosenthal and the entire staff at the Village Club of Lake Success. We went to contract in July 2019 for a May 2020 wedding. Needless to say we postponed it two times. Barry worked with us through each contract revision, explaining our options, keeping us posted on protocol and when it looked like we were finally going forward, offered expert advice and guidance to deliver the most magical evening. Every question, (and there were many) was answered quickly and with complete information which allowed us to make decisions and move forward. Barry’s guidance was invaluable, whether it was how to lay out the room, menu selections or deciding whether we needed a wedding planner. Every suggestion was right on!

    The venue hit home as soon as my daughter and future son-in-law walked through the doors. In their words it had a New York vibe while being affordable - the brick wall, the tasteful lighting, floor to ceiling windows overlooking Lake Success and a cocktail room, The Grill Room, that was warm and inviting. The "day of" went as smoothly as can be expected with Amy at our side throughout, attending to every detail and ensuring we kept to the schedule. Barry of course popped in regularly to check on us and provide updates. I need to pause to shine a bright light on Amy. I was encouraged by friends to hire a separate “day of” coordinator. “You can’t manage without one”. This was one of those decisions I tortured myself about. So to bring the discussion to a close we had a conference call with my daughter and Barry. I had her ask every question she was concerned about. The decision was to depend on Amy and was that ever the right decision. We felt cared for the entire day.

    And now for the wedding - Each room looked as gorgeous as we had hoped. The ballroom was stunning aided by Florique Florists and lighting by Fusion. Our guests were blown away by the quality, variety, presentation and the taste of all the food. The only complaint I received several times was that the cocktail hour was so delicious that they didn’t leave enough room for dinner. While there were a few naysayers afraid to order salmon because they claimed it’s never cooked properly, they were totally outnumbered by the guests who said they never had such a delicious piece of salmon. The filet was like butter and how often do you have people raving about the side dishes?

    Throughout the evening Barry and Amy checked in on each of us to see if we needed anything, were eating and generally having a good time. It was over way too soon and even packing up late at night was a pleasure. We were helped until both our cars were packed and ready to leave. As many say it goes way too fast. It’s over in a blink. And thank goodness for videos and pictures because I can’t wait to relive it all over again.

    My Amazing Kosher Wedding

    We got married in March 2022 at the VCLS, and Barry did such a fantastic job throughout our entire wedding planning process - From the big things to the minor ones, we loved working with him. He got to know us and our families, and we felt confident in his ability to execute all our asks including timeline/flow of the wedding day, the food (which was kosher and amazing - our friends/family still compliment how delicious our cocktail hour was), and coordinating with all our vendors. Amy worked closely with him on the day of the wedding and made sure my husband and I had everything we needed - They were so warm and wonderful. We'll be reminiscing about our special day for years to come - It wouldn't have been our dream day without them. THANK YOU, Barry and Amy!

    Exceeded our expectations by a mile

    Barry and his team offer a high touch, first class experience that makes the wedding planning process and ultimate wedding day a dream come true. He was always open for questions, helped us with making decisions big and small, and coordinated our wedding day without flaw. We can't thank the team here enough for everything they did for us on our wedding day and expect to book future milestone events here.

    Counting down the days...

    When we first visited the Village Club back in 2018 we knew it was the place we were meant to get married! We started counting down until our 5/8/20 wedding date. And then Covid hit...It was soul crushing! We were 2 months away from having our dream wedding at our dream location and then life as we knew it changed. We postponed to July 2020 thinking everything would be ok by then...it wasn't. We then had to make the decision to postpone to May 2021...a full year from when we were originally supposed to get married. And now unfortunately postponing again to 8/5/21. I'm sure many brides can relate to this but I've also heard horror stories about how wedding venues were not being as accommodating. Not the Village Club! Barry has been AMAZING through it all! Even after having to postpone 3 times, he has been there every step of the way being in constant communication with us. And even though he may not have all the answers as to what August will look like, his positivity, reassurance and confidence in wanting to make sure we have the wedding we envisioned, and promising to keep us in the loop, makes us feel that the decision we made almost 2 1/2 years ago will ALL be worth it!!! As challenging as this past year has been, my fiancé and I are thankful we picked a venue that understands what couples have been going though and are so sympathetic. We cannot WAIT for our wedding in August! It's the first time in almost a year we have felt excited again! I can't wait to come back on here and write another review (and share pictures) on how magical Barry and the Village Club team made our wedding day...because I know without a doubt they will make it happen!!!

    Amazing. I love Amy and Barry !!!

    Amy and Barry have an amazing team and work together efficiently. They made my wedding run smoothly. Barry makes you feel like you’re talking with a good friend and Amy was always by my side making sure I had everything. They were on top of the vendors making sure their work was done correctly and as I wished. Lastly, they personally recommended what to combine in the menu , popular items and signature drinks! Thank you so much.

    Best Day Ever

    Our wedding was better than any dream, any fantasy, and any fairytale, and that was almost entirely because of the Village Club at Lake Success. Friends and family called it a "hidden gem," with incredible food and service, gorgeous views, and an overall classy and sophisticated ambiance. Nestled between NYC and the expanse of Long Island suburbs, the Village Club beautifully defined the wedding of our dreams. We booked in October 2019 and had envisioned something absolutely grand--something our guests wouldn't have experienced before. Then, the pandemic started. We had heard of other venues struggling to help couples through this time, but were relieved to know that the Village Club was willing and able to work with us even with all of the fears and uncertainties the pandemic brought upon us all. Because of that, we decided to keep our date no matter what because we knew the food and service at the Village Club was THAT good and absolutely worth it. However, when most restrictions were lifted right before our June 2021 wedding, the Village Club worked above and beyond to exceed the expectations we had set almost two years ago, long before the pandemic ever started. And to be honest, our wedding was even better than that. I'm being completely candid when I say several guests--close family aside--told us that our wedding was the best one they had ever been to. Barry and his team are truly the best in the business. Putting our complete trust in them was the best decision we had ever made (besides deciding to get married in the first place). Leading up to the wedding, every question, every concern, every idea we had was addressed promptly and resolved flawlessly by Barry. His experience, leadership, and professionalism are commendable and admirable attributes, and we are so thankful we were able to work with him. The day of our wedding was exciting, busy, chaotic, and beautiful--the attentiveness to us as a couple, all of our needs, and of course all of our guests, reassured us that there is no other place like the Village Club and no other team like Barry's. On a personal note, Amy was a tremendous help to me whether it was fixing my dress, getting me from point A to point B, or making sure I was eating a proper meal. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts for everything they did to deliver the wedding we envisioned. I cannot recommend them enough!

    The best venue you will ever find

    6.5.21- Where to even begin with this review!! If you are looking for a stunning venue with amazing food and staff then SERIOUSLY look no further. Barry went above and beyond in SO many ways to make sure myself and now husband were taken care of the entire night. We had a few mishaps with vendors and he was there every step of the way to ensure things got taken care of so that we did not need to stress. Barry, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for throwing us an incredible wedding and bringing so much zen to our night. Kevin, my bridal attendant was also SO incredible I don’t even know where to begin. Kevin, thank you for taking care of me and our bridal party all day into night. You made sure all of our needs were being met and were always one step ahead of the game. You are such a pro and brought the best energy to our day. Our friends and family have not stopped raving about how amazing of a night this and how beautiful the venue grounds were. They also could not get over how absolutely delicious, incredible, and creative the food was. If you are looking to have the BEST wedding with the most attentive staff and the most incredible atmosphere you have found your spot. THANK YOU Barry, Kevin, and the entire Village Club at Lake Success staff from the bottom of our hearts!!!! We will never forget all that you did for us
