The Riviera

We recently had our wedding at the riviera. They were simply amazing! The Riviera was very helpful and understanding in the planning and tasting process, as well as had some great suggestions. I would completely recommend them. The place was set up exactly as requested, the food was on point and delicious. They did an amazing job. All of our guests loved the food and were even given food to take home. They threw in a champagne cart and chocolate fountain as well. From the cocktail hour, to the entrees to the desert table, the food was beyond what we could ask for (we were given double portions of all of the entrees to take home as well). The service was meticulous and the venue was beautiful. My only recommendation is that lighting in the space is a must for a night wedding, to really highlight and show off the wood (otherwise it is dark). The vendors that they included (flowers and cake) were perfect as well. Over all the Riviera helped make our wedding day perfect.

Words can not describe how AMAZING this place is. We got married there Nov 10, 2012. It was a warm and inviting venue, amazing staff, food was so good my guests are still talking about it. I don't have enough room to express the gratitude and appreciation we have for the people at the Riviera. After hurricane sandy they lost their power and were on a generator. (Thank god) the wedding reception went on without any issues and no one would have even noticed they were on a generator. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. It was a perfect night from start to beginning. We hope to be guests at the next wedding there just to see it from a different perspective, and ofcourse for the amazing cocktail hour! Thanks Riviera!

Booking my wedding at the Riviera was the best wedding planning decision I made! My wedding was Sunday night, July 19, 2015 and it was absolutely incredible. We booked our wedding there back in February 2014 at their Bridal Showcase. We met with Michelle, one of the Banquet Managers, who answered all of our questions then and throughout the next 17 months leading up to the wedding. So if you hear about one of these at the Riviera, definitely go! We had a coupon for $500 off the wedding or a free wedding ceremony (sent via email to promote the Bridal Showcase), and we also had a free mashed potato bar thrown in for cocktail hour because we booked at the showcase. You can see the Riviera in full action at the showcase. They have the house DJ’s there performing, and a ton of other vendors are there for you to speak with. You can see the outdoor space available for cocktail hour which is truly beautiful! They recently spruced it up post-Sandy and it is gorgeous, right on the Great South Bay. The food was amazing, our bridal attendant was wonderful, always offering me water and making sure I was hydrated, and our Maitre-D Sean was great too. He gently led us through the events and where we had to be, but was not pushy at all. He helped make the party go smoothly. The Riviera truly is a beautiful venue, the main room is so different than other Long Island venues. The outdoor space for cocktail hour is breathtaking, the staff were fantastic. I have no complaints. If you are curious about pricing, for my wedding (Sunday night in July) it was $76 a head, $46 for a kid, $40 per vendor meal. VERY REASONABLE for a Long Island wedding, I can not stress that enough. You will not find a venue this beautiful and this high class for this price on Long Island. I will be telling all my family and friends about the Riviera, thank you!

Thanks again for everything. We can't tell you enough how awesome everything was. It was perfect. The entire staff did an amazing job. Our guests can't stop talking about it. Soo much food and it was all amazing! Jason and I are so happy we chose The Riviera. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Thanks again! -Pam and Jay 1/10/15

We just got married at The Riviera in Massapequa. All I have to say is WOW! They did a fantastic job. The place is very warm and romantic. They hold only one party at a time so all the focus is on your needs. It is located on the water and the grounds are beautiful. We had the ceremony outside by the water, in the gazebo and it was PERFECT everything I could have wanted. The food was delicious and they took care of everything. The viennese hour was incredible and we only got the partial viennese - wow! it was awesome!!! Everyone had a great time at the wedding. I had been to 2 weddings at the Riviera before and had a great time so when it came time to choose a place for myself - it was almost a no brainer. They are very reasonably priced and worth every penny. Would DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding smaller than 175 people. A hidden gem :-) Thank you Riviera for a beautiful, fun filled day.
