5 Stars -- Our Dream Wedding at Coral House & Dream Events! From the moment we walked into the Coral House, we were treated like family. Patrick and Leandra greeted us with such warmth that we looked forward to every visit. Jay, our Manager, was an absolute gem -- knowledgeable, organized, and incredibly patient. She has an amazing design eye and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, from décor to timing to keeping this panicked bride calm! The food was outstanding. At our tasting, we were surprised with full-sized portions of each dish -- and the food served on our wedding day was exactly the same: hot, delicious, and beautifully plated. Our maître d', DJ, took care of us all evening and made sure we had everything we needed. The private bridal suite stocked with hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and a personal server was such a classy touch. The service from every Coral House staff member was impeccable -- professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. Even staff not assigned to our party greeted us with smiles and offers to help. Dream Events, led by Samantha, handled our entertainment package flawlessly -- the DJ (Christian) was phenomenal, the bartender kept the drinks flowing, the décor was stunning, and the photographer captured every moment. Our guests are still talking about how amazing everything was -- especially the ice cream cart after all that dancing! Coral House and Dream Events delivered above and beyond what they promised. Our wedding was perfect, and we have zero complaints. If you're looking for a venue and team that truly care about your day, this is it. read more

Breakfast with the Easter bunny was a bit pricey but nice for the families with young children. The early time slot was not too loud and stimulating, great for families with kids on the spectrum. The food was good but could have been warmed a little more. read more

After an unpleasant experience last Thanksgiving (2023) at another venue, I was excited to book a table here for Thanksgiving 2024. We booked the last seating, scheduled for 4pm. I used to go to all sorts of events here well over 10 to years ago. I fondly remember weddings, holiday work parties and sweet sixteens. Always impeccably organized, efficient service and quality food. Unfortunately if Thanksgiving Day 2024 was any indication, those days of yesteryear are long gone! One word: CHAOS! Was it the fact that the large room where the buffet was set up, also had too many tables squeezed in it? Or perhaps the ridiculously long line that extended down two long hallways past the kitchen, where servers were constantly running through it? Or perhaps when I finally got up to the buffet, they had run out of stuffing? I had to stand there, along with four other people for ten minutes until another tray came out. We dared not walk past the empty chafing dish...to go to the back of the line to wait again? NOPE! And then all that waiting only to be served Stove Top stuffing!! The rest of the food was decent, no one part of the meal stood out as spectacular. The saving grace was the waitstaff. Working under these conditions, the servers were apologetic and worked diligently. The young man assigned to our table was polite and handled our drink orders efficiently. Making reservations for Thanksgiving is a fairly new concept for me personally. Two strikes in the past two years...next year I'm hosting at my house. Trust me, there will be no lines or Stove Top stuffing. read more

Is it possible to leave 3.5 stars? I got married here on 1/18. I'll start with the pros: 1) Jay was extremely helpful and nice the entire process leading up to the wedding. We really enjoyed working with her on the wedding planning itself. 2) The room looked absolutely beautiful the day of. The decor was beautiful and overall I was blown away with the set up. 3) The food was absolutely delicious, my guests raved about the food. Now the cons... 1) We were extremely disappointed in our Maître D. I wish I remembered his name. First off, he was extremely underdressed in a way that did not demonstrated he was the one running the show and in charge. Second, when we were finishing photos in the main room and my guests were coming, he was absolutely nowhere to be found. We needed him to usher people into the bar room so I could run to the bridal suite. Then he was absolutely nowhere to be found when we needed to line up for the ceremony then reception. It was just an overall trend that he was nowhere to be found when we needed him and was not helpful with guiding us throughout the party. 3) As helpful and kind as Jay was during the pre-wedding, when my husband came to her office scrambling because we had no idea where the Maître D was or what to do, she just stood there and didn't help us. She saw the panic we were all experiencing in with figuring out what to do and some guidance and wasn't helpful. 4) Considering we still gave Jay a tip at the end of the night, not a single person at Coral House called us the next day or week after to see how everything went and to tell us if we left anything there (which we know we did, but didn't know what exactly or how much). We know a (hopefully empty) card box and a few mr&mrs signs were left there (which we weren't schlepping back there for), and we were hopeful some cocktail napkins and flowers were left (which we would have came for) Not a single phone call or follow up. Overall the front of the house, guest experience was great and my guests had a fantastic time, but you would have thought it was their first wedding there considering how much lack of guidance we had behind the scenes and disregard of checking in. All of our vendors have followed up to see how the night went except Coral House. read more

We had our retirement party there on Thursday evening, the food was very good, the bartender was great, but there was no air conditioning or it was not properly working (although many of us complained to management). It was so unpleasant to be there! read more

COLD food and rushed at Thanksgiving... Clear the table so you leave... Wait staff taking your plates to move you out! AWFUL read more

This is the second time my family and I have come here for Mother's Day brunch. We sat in a back room this time. Since it wasn't the main dining room you couldn't really hear the music playing so that was a bummer. There was a variety of food to select from. Buffet style is always hit or miss. Unfortunately, the food wasn't really hot. The penne ala vodka would have been really good if it were hot. Everything was okay. We ordered mimosas for the table. Our server was good. Our reservation was towards the end of brunch so they weren't really refilling the foods. The dessert table was disappointing but they had an ice cream cart. It came to $80 a person for brunch. I would like to try a different place next year. read more

I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the event held at your venue on Friday, March 6 for [Sheryll Campbell]. Unfortunately, several issues occurred during the event that significantly affected our experience and did not meet the expectations we had based on our booking agreement. First, I understand that some (features/add-ons) that were originally agreed upon as part of the contract and finalized with my event planner, Lacole, were required to be changed on the day of the event when the vendor arrived. I paid the vendor for Smoke and Sparklers only to find out at last minute that this was a fire hazard (when did you find out this was a fire hazard? This add-on with Sparklers were offered to us through a vendor of yours. Unfortunately because of their unprofessionalism we decided to use another vendor which was discussed with you and his credentials were provided and approved by you. This change compromised my experienced and I still had to pay for the package that included the Sparklers. As such I requesting some form of compensation. My sister and her husband worked tirelessly to prepare a beautiful slideshow for me which no one could see in a small shadow box on the wall off to the side. This caused delays and unnecessary stress during what was meant to be an enjoyable occasion. These problems disrupted the flow of the party and impacted our guests' experience. When we selected the room we were under the impression that we would have had access to the wall mounted display screen since it was part of the room amenities. Furthermore, we had rented that same room about a year ago with no additional contract and was able to ask for use of the screen when we arrived for the event and this was granted. I'd like to offer a recommendation regarding your booking process. To ensure a seamless experience for future clients, I strongly suggest explicitly disclosing that the hallway display screens are not included in the standard rental and require a separate AV contract. This detail was not clearly communicated during our negotiations, leading to last-minute confusion that could easily be avoided with a line item in your initial proposal. Additionally, there were problems with servers...I did not get a chance to enjoy my meal because it was taken off the table before I could even eat my dinner. Not sure what happened to my birthday cake, no one asked if we wanted to take it with us. I never got a slice to eat. Based on the positive experience we had for my mother's 80th birthday last year, I chose to return to Coral House and traveled from Florida specifically for your services. Given the significant financial investment I made for this event, I expected your reputation for excellence to be upheld. I am deeply disappointed that the level of service did not match the high standards I previously associated with your venue. read more

I had heard about catering halls that are described as "wedding factories". At least, that was the response of my sister when I told her where I was heading for a friend's daughter's wedding. I suppose the Coral House would be categorized as one, with multiple event spaces available on each of the three levels. During a Saturday evening wedding I attended there were indeed multiple weddings. While some of the spaces make that characteristic more evident, such as the Lakeside Room, others are situated and designed such that this characteristic quickly fades and is forgotten. That was the case of the wedding I attended in the smaller, newer Colonial Room. It felt like an intimate nook, and has its own bathrooms just outside the room entrance. There was no peaking of curious passer-byes, nor music cascading and converging from neighboring event spaces. Everything was well coordinated and the dinner plates were more generous than previously experienced elsewhere. I was pleasantly surprised by some cocktail reception choices, including German sausage with red sauerkraut, slices of juicy beef and pork, and German Spaetzle. Everything served during dinner was tasty -- especially popular was the salmon topped with mango salsa. The Colonial Room is beautifully organized and designed, with attractive and festive lighting, high, sky-lit ceiling, mirrored multi-pane "windows", and fireplaces. The room overlooks the Milburn Pond. There is valet and self park options available. Worth checking out for anyone looking to book a catered event on Long Island. read more

Not going to recommend. The outside is very pretty and makes for lovely pictures. The "assigned" wait staff for the private dressing room was less than attentive. They were extremely "stingy" with the hors d'oeuvres platters, refusing to refill, stating that the "cocktail hour" was over. Little did I realize at the time that I would have done better filling up on the crabcakes. The fried chicken was lukewarm and unseasoned. Many of the foods in the buffet had full plates from guests being thrown away. Frozen drinks were "okay." The sheet cake was awful and did not receive a passing grade from any of the invited guests. Please spend your money elsewhere. Coral House is going on reputation past, and no one is doing anything to preserve its once stellar approach to catering/fine dining. If you must do, because of location, please cater with your chosen chefs and merely use the space, if that is an option. read more

Very disappointed by the staff, was manhandled by some idiot that thinks they are security

What a lovely venue! Came here for a Saturday night party, I believe about 90 guests. It was a baby shower (but no ordinary shower! Partied until midnight!) full room, music, dancing. The room was gorgeous! Large and bright and plenty of room for decorations and gift and dessert tables (as well as dancing!). It started at 7 PM and fortunately it was still daylight out so the view of the water outside from the room was really lovely. The room (I believe it was the Deck room) fit all of us comfortably. There was a cocktail hour and then dinner was buffet style (we lined up and were served the hot food) and then an ice cream bar for dessert. (Plus the cake was served to us at our seats.) The dinner was delicious (chicken, steak, fish and veg options) and the ice cream bar was a really fun treat. Other things to note: There is valet parking when you pull up but there is a large parking lot across the street that I didn't notice at first. There is a full bar in a separate room that we were able to wait in (and drink in!) Until the decorations in our room were completed. tl;dr: Attended an amazing party here with a lot of dancing and great food read more

Coral House - Baby shower - Caterers Near Me - Baldwin, New York

I'd been here multiple times for birthday parties invite. I have loved their party rooms as all gets a good view of the lake. The serenity and calmness can be felt inside the room. Airy and bright rooms. For today's party, it was a Buffett style dining . Good food selections. Great tastes . Prior, the happy hour dejection were impressive. As the celebrants observe religious traditions, good non alcoholic beverages were used for the toasting. The room accommodated about 100 guests . There is a good dance floor size . One good plus, the venue room is close to a restroom , small but the convenience of the location is undeniably likable. read more

I have been to several events held at the Coral House over the past few years. My family has attended weddings, Christmas and New Years celebrations as well as a 30th anniversary party. At Christmas, the decorations are stunning. The staff is pleasant and the venue is clean. I have never had a bad meal at Coral House. I've tried both the buffet and sit down meal options. I was thoroughly impressed when one party offered lobster and steak as an option (surf and turf). Both were fabulous. I have been both a guest and a host here and have never been disappointed. read more

I am both shocked and appalled by the actions of this establishment during the current pandemic on the handling of BARBOUR NASH 100th BIRTHDAY PARTY. This business has severed all communications with the NASH family after a refund was requested due to the venue canceling the date of the 100th Birthday party of NASH BARBOUR which was scheduled during the current pandemic (COVID-19). All avenues have been taken to communicate privately with this business including, calls, email, certified mail and etc and they have not had the courtesy to responded despite our many efforts. It is pretty outrageous, unprofessional, heartless and cold for a business to engage in such practices as they have during a time when the nation and this family are dealing with something as serious as a pandemic. Having a birthday party was a great idea prior to the current pandemic (which is when this idea was birthed and a down payment was made) but now it would be pretty foolish to have a birthday party where a large number of people would gather and put a person that is 100 years old with underlying medical conditions at great risk. In this time when the future is so uncertain and families are being laid off from jobs and the money the are holding hostage could be used to assist in towards the care and health of a person 100 years old it is outright murderous for a business not to have any intentions of returning monies paid. I appeal to the hearts of others reading this to consider the kind of people you are handing your money over to before making a decision you use the services of this business who have treated this family in this way during a time of personal and national crisis....and to the establishment, I implore you to do the right thing. Please reach out to the NASH BARBOUR family and return the monies paid. There is still time to do the right thing. read more

I had my bottomless brunch engagement party here this past Saturday and it was amazing. Laurie, the banquet manager, was extremely helpful throughout this process. She helped with our budget and answered all our questions in-depth, so that there was no confusion amongst us at any point. She was on top of everything and was very well organized. Even when we had last minute changes, she accommodated my fiancé and I. The food was delicious - waffles, penne, chicken parm, and so were the drinks. The guests were very satisfied and raved about how good the food was! The venue was elegant, had lots of natural sunlight and had massive windows overlooking the lake. We were very pleased with having our engagement party here and would definitely have future events here. I highly recommend this venue. read more

Just got home from New Year's Eve at the Carl house, what a splendid splendid evening. Definitely worth the money and the price of admission. Credible hot hors d'oeuvres, and cheese and fruits and salads followed by incredible open bar and really wonderful choice of me entrées and the filet mignon and lobster were incredible as worth the desserts. The staff was really nice and kept everything running smoothly and they even gave us bagels and cream cheese when we left. The place was clean and lots of fun, but the Highpoint of the night had to be the disco unlimited band that plays all over Long Island, but kept the place rocking and I can't wait to go back next year, 10 stars read more

AMAZING TIME! I had to write this review to express the gratitude and happiness I feel after having my Birthday Party/Life Celebration/ Gratitude Party at the CORAL HOUSE! Jay, my Banquet Consultant did an amazing job. I was pleased with the food options I was offered since a large number of my guests were Vegan and Gluten-Free. After speaking with the Manager they were able to come up with even more options including dairy-free ice cream. The hall was Beautifully decorated even before my decorator came and added her amazing touches. The staff was wonderful and had an air of "We want to serve You"! Yvonne the Maitre d was AWESOME! She made sure everyone got the food they were supposed to get; which was special in itself since there was more than the usual number of options. Many of my Vegan guests was surprised that there was actually food there they could eat! The food portion size was absolutely FANTASTIC! It was also well seasoned and tasty. The food was served quickly, and coincided with my schedule perfectly. ALL of my guests were very happy with all aspects of the CORAL HOUSE. One guest commented the evening was "MAGICAL" and I know that a lot of their happy feelings can be attributed to the excellent service we received. With appreciation and gratitude I would recommend the Coral House to anyone who wanted to make their event a memorable one. read more

I had my wedding at the Coral House this past September (2022) after postponing THREE times because of COVID-19, Laurie was SO helpful and really worked with us to make sure we could have our dream wedding. After all the anticipation and waiting for our special day, it went better than we could have ever imagined. The staff was courteous and helpful, they made sure the night went as scheduled. The little bit of food that my husband and I had was DELICIOUS and all of our guest are still talking about how good the food was and how the bartenders were on point! I would definitely recommend having an event at the Coral House. read more

So, my sister decided to have her baby shower here, and she was very excited about it- but when I saw these Yelp review I thought I'd better brace myself. The overall decor of the place is very grand and has that Long Island feel, just like any other catering hall in Long Island. There was several parties happening at once during our event, but that didn't seem to effect our experience. The party was about 40 women, and we got to have access to the room an hour before the party to blow up balloons, games, and a favors table. The staff was very attentive, and kept giving my sister a heads up about pacing her 4 hour party; which I could appreciate. My problem was the food. We had three choices, grilled marinated steak, grilled salmon with mangoes, or chicken bruschetta. My mom, soon to be mother-in-law and I opted for the salmon, and we were all pretty pleased. The chicken looked and tasted dry, and my grandmother was appalled this place didn't have Italian bread, or any bread on the table besides one single roll. My grandmother didn't touch her steak and are only the sides of potatoes and fried onions. I guess I was lucky and made the right choice. When coffee and tea was being served, I was helping my sister open gifts and keep track as to who bought her what. By the time we sat down, we had no coffee or tea with our cake. It was like the staff assumed the party was over and vanished. It would've been nice, but I guess I was asking for too much. Overall, the food left you more to be desired, and the service starts out strong and then fizzled. Food counts more than any decor. read more

Coral House was the first and only venue my fiance and I checked out for our wedding and reception We fell in love instantly. Though, I had read reviews from past years I still wanted to form my own opinion. One of my major concerns was the food. After booking Coral House during the summer, we finally went to a food tasting last night. To my surprise, everything was on point - from presentation to taste. I felt at ease knowing that my guests will enjoy the food. As of now, I am extremely pleased with the choice that I have made in having my wedding and reception at Coral House. My wedding is exactly 6 months from today- so I will update after my wedding! read more

Coral House - Food Tasting ! - Caterers Near Me - Baldwin, New York

A friend of mine lived down the street from Coral House for years so I constantly saw it, especially at night, and thought how beautiful it looked. Finally another friend was having their wedding here and I thought "great! I finally get to check this place out!". You quickly realize it's a wedding factory. Many events taking place at once. A tavern/bar in the back to kill time before a ceremony of reception. This is a nice touch especially since no one is around to tell you where the wedding you're attending is being held. Coat check had the most pleasant employees of the entire place. The room where the ceremony was held is TINY. The chairs are stacked right on top of another to the point we were glad the ceremony itself was only 30 minutes. Very, very uncomfortable. The room where they held the cocktail hour was a bit more spacious. The lighting was all over the place - sometimes it was bright, other times it was very dim. The food at the cocktail hour was okay. The passed food (those lobster tacos!) was way better than anything on the main table. Drinks are strong, bartenders are friendly. The main room where they had the reception was again cramped. If I backed up my chair a bit too much, I would knock into someone else seated behind me. The bar area in this room appears to be one they just roll in for events so it's tiny but the two bartenders made the line go quick. The dancefloor is narrow but we made it work. Acoustics are great and the DJ had no problem getting everyone up and dancing, or even singing along! The food during the reception was actually delicious (nearly unheard of at LI wedding venues). The filet stuffed with crab meat was great and oh so filling. Now for the worst part of my entire experience here. The cake. Okay so the cake was coming from one of my favorite LI bakeries and I had to stick around to try it. Unfortunately it took the staff at Coral House over an hour to slice the cake and serve it. Cake cutting was at 8:45ish, cake slices did not come out until 9:45, AND they had served coffee at 9 so all the coffee was ice cold by the time the cake was served. Terrible. Also my slice of cake was butchered to no end. No reason that slice was allowed to be served - half of it was missing! And I'm not saying it was a small slice (that would have been just fine) this was literally missing a chunk like someone in the kitchen screwed up with the slicer and decided to serve it, anyway. Horrible. Not worth the wait. Next time I'll get a perfect slice of cake from the bakery itself. Also the restrooms here are tiny. Well, everything here seems small but the restrooms are the worst. Perhaps the ones down the winding staircase are better but the only ladies room right outside the reception hall had two stalls, two sinks, one hand dryer, and no room to form a line. They also did not provide anything a wedding venue tends to provide during a reception such as feminine hygiene products, hairspray, deodorant, etc. All they had was candy but since we were sharing the same restroom with 2 other parties all the candy ran out within an hour. Not a bright idea when people are drinking, eventually break the seal, and need to use the restroom (especially ladies who tend to take forever). Overall I can't give less than two stars here since the venue itself is still very pretty and the entire place was decorated for Christmas. They just need a lot more space and more restrooms. read more

My mother and I were invited to a 80th birthday celebration for a friend of mine's mother. When we got there we had no problem parking as there was a big lot directly across from the venue. Once we were inside we were amazed on how beautiful the place was. The waiters and waitresses were amazing. The bathroom was downstairs and you could tell they are constantly cleaning. The food was outstanding as there was a bowtie pasta with marinara sauce and a twist of ricotta cheese on top. There was three chooses of meat Steak, Chicken, Salmon. I had the chicken with gravy stuffed with spinach which was absolutely scrumptious and tasted the salmon which I stated I didnt know which one was better as both were so good. It came with red bliss potatoes and asparagus. The meal was amazing. I would recommend this venue for a function without reserve. read more

I had my daughters sweet sixteen here and everything was perfect. Laurie was the person I worked with and she was a doll. I also worked with Adam at dream events and had no problems.

We had many different changes throughout the planning process and they were very accommodating. This is my third event here my mom and uncle also had their wedding at this venue read more

I have been to several events at the Coral House and have always been impressed. This year we decided to try the Coral House for Thanksgiving. We arrived a few minutes early for our 4:00 pm reservation and our table was not ready. That happens, sometimes customers take a long time to finish their meals. At about 4:25, we were escorted to the dining room, but our table was still not ready and we had to stand in the doorway while the staff finished the setup. That was a bit awkward , but ok. Then we got on the buffet line. There was one line for literally hundreds of people. We stood on that line for 45 minutes before we reached the food. By the time we got to where the food was , there were no candied sweet potatoes, no mashed potatoes and no prime rib, among other things, and the salads were decimated. The line stopped dead while people waited for the food to be replenished. When we went back up for additional food, a tray of mashed potatoes had just been brought out and I was told that this would be the last tray of them so, if I wanted some, I had better take them before they were gone. Food was ok. Desserts were truly mediocre. Waitstaff was pleasant though not particularly competent. The Coral House is owned by a corporation which owns many restaurants and multiple catering establishments - I would have expected that they would have known how to manage the crowd, all of whom had made reservations and paid in advance. I was truly disappointed in the manner in which Thanksgiving was orchestrated. What catering establishment makes hundreds of people stand on line for food, only to run out before people are served. It was like being at a soup kitchen. We paid $60 per person and spent the bulk of the time we were there standing on line, only to be met with empty catering trays which should have contained Thanksgiving staples. Never again. read more

I came here for my cousins wedding and I was in the bridal party. The catering hall is so pretty and they have ample parking. They have the lake in the background which makes the view spectacular. The food and drinks were so good. All the guests were impressed. The room was spacious and enough room for dancing. However, the staff of the event wasn't the best for my cousins wedding. When we were taking wedding photos outside in the park where the ceremony was going to take place, guests were arriving and seeing the bride before she walked down the aisle. Traditionally, that is not supposed to happen. They should of made sure the guests stayed inside. The guests knew for some reason the small pathway to the ceremony and im sure an employee told them how to get there. Other than that, the catering hall was nice. Would I recommend? Yes, but make sure you get a good maitree D. read more

Went here yesterday to a franternal organization luncheon. The halls of the building were very festive with holiday decorations. The bartender appeared exactly at noon and got right to work. The meal consisted of bread, pasta, Cesar salad, a choice of fish, steak or chicken as a main, and coffee and pastries for dessert. All the food was good. Service was good until it wasn't at the end. When the coffee and pastries were served, our table in the corner was overlooked. Out server disappeared as well. Other tables were finished with their coffee and desserts, and were leaving by the time our table was attended to. Bathroom was clean. Big parking lot across the street. Solid three stars. read more

Food was very good. The decor was just right, and staff were great! The price was just right. Overall, a great place to spend a cozy night.

My cousins shower was simply amazing! Elegant, beautiful Venue with lots of room with no crowding and fantastic service. The food was great and the staff was friendly and on top of everything. There were multiple rooms that can accommodate all party sizes. There was even a wedding in the next room. Ample parking and a hidden gem. We had the best time celebrating the upcoming arrival of my niece! Thanks for a night to remember! read more

Coral House Caterers is a good place to throw a party. Around the holidays this place is really beautiful. There are amazing Christmas decorations. The staff greets guests well. Parking is a bit crazy but you can either valet or park yourself across the street. The food is okay. It is not bad, but there was nothing at all to rave about. The bathrooms smell like potpourri. Not a Christmas potpourri, and not someone's grandma's potpourri, but anyone who has been in the bathroom would agree that it is clean and smells like a potpourri chef's workshop. my 3 stars would probably be a 3.5. read more

We had our wedding reception here on November 1, 2014 and I must say, we were overall very pleased with the experience. The Good: For all of the planning, we dealt with Laurie. She was fantastic. We were quite clueless and she was very helpful, patient, and you could just tell that she was great at her job. She was also very friendly, which for me, is super important. LOL If you're looking for kind of an "easy" reception, this is it. We had a super simple wedding and basically just wanted a big sit down dinner for our families. The Coral House pretty much handles everything for you; you make some decisions and they handle the rest, at a pretty reasonable price as well! We chose one of their smaller rooms and it was perfect. For the event, our Maitre d' was Andrew. He was on point and so personable. He actually brought personality to the room, which was pretty neat to watch. I've seen reviews on here bashing the food. Maybe we aren't all that picky, but we thought the food was good! LOL The antipasta bar was delicious and well stocked, the hot apps were brought out in a timely manner and were tasty, and the entrees were good too. The pastries that accompanied our wedding cake were okay. It was a decent selection but.. not great. The Needs Work: When you go into Coral House, you speak with whomever is as the desk. On our first visit, the girl behind the desk was polite but clueless, the second time, the lady was quite rude- we had been told we didn't need an appointment and she looked at us like we were hobos off the street. She even asked if we had "made our deposit." Umm, yes, and we're only a couple weeks out from the event...I don't know, she just rubbed me the wrong way. The printed menus at each place setting were cute but a few guests received menus from completely different events, and, they spelled my name wrong on all of them. However, we did mention it to Andrew, mentioned above, and before we knew it, they were all snatched up and reprinted. So, overall, not a bad experience at all if you want something easy. The room was decorated very tastefully in a sweet autumnal décor, the service was good, they take care of all of the minutiae, and the food was good. I'd recommend! =) read more

The fact that this venue can use the pandemic as an excuse to to take a families hard earned money is disgusting. My family booked this venue for my grandmothers 100th birthday in May 2020. The city was completely shut down and as a result all events were cancelled. My family simply asked for a refund because rebooking at a later date would not be feasible. My grandmother is 100 yrs old how could we possibly consider exposing her to hundreds of people at a future date while there is still no vaccine for the virus. There was no loss to coral house because they did not prepare for this event. Their lack of communication is both disappoint and appalling. Coral house needs to own up and do the right thing. read more

This venue is refusing to refund my family the deposit for our event. The event was cancelled due to them being closed due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Furthermore they are unresponsive to us as we have been trying to contact them for months. This is very unprofessional. We are all having a hard time dealing with this ongoing Situation of COVID 19 and this company has absolutely no values or morals. They are disrespectful and disregard clients once they have their money regardless even though they did not provide the service. Horrible company!!! read more

Went for Brunch with Santa and I was not impressed. We got there by 1230p and the food was all ready cold and didn't seem to be refreshed. My kids were looking forward to the chicken fingers yet nothing was on the buffet even though the menu on website said it would be available. A mimosa was spilled on my friend yet it wasn't comped SMH. Was not impressed with this place. Santa definitely will have this place on his naughty list. read more

Horrible Business! My family paid thousands of dollars down for a 100th birthday party for my grandma, which was to take place two months ago. We've been trying to communicate and make arrangements with coral house since months before our event was scheduled to take place. Due to COVID-19 the party was cancelled and Coral House has stopped all communications with my family. No returned calls or answered emails. We aren't at liberty to reschedule the party. God blessed my grandma to live 100yrs and we don't know what the future holds. Now more than ever, we don't want to expose her to hundreds of people. No one knows when COVID-19 will be over. The lack of respect and poor customer service received by the coral house staff is beyond ridiculous. Corporate won't respond. The CEO of Dover Group won't respond. Covid-19 doesn't excuse your unethical business practices! You are thieves! We will go to the media and we will take legal action! read more

Horrible customer service! Called three times and left a message for someone to call me back, no one ever did. When I finally got someone on the phone the "manager" Melissa was unprofessional and nasty! Thank goodness I found out about the lack of professionalism prior to booking an event! What a shame. read more

I came here for a baby shower that was held in the Colonial Room. This room is one of their smaller rooms that has a view of the lake. I had an amazing time from start to finish at this venue. The happy hour was full of delicious options: lobster tacos, ceviche, Mac and cheese, salmon, beef Wellington, chicken cordon bleu, crab cake, and Mediterranean skewers. The main course was buffet: chicken parmigiana, beef, flounder(too many bones), pasta, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad, goat cheese salad, and mixed veggies. Keep in mind that your menu is based on what you select in your package. I liked all the food but the flounder because it has too many bones and the salads were a bit soggy. Other than that, everything was delicious. There is also a good sized dance floor of your crowd wants to dance! The bathroom closest to this room is tiny with only two stalls. It was kept clean but more stalls are always appreciated since the ladies room line tends to be long. Therefore, you may be better off going to another restroom in the compound. read more

My husband and I got married at the Coral House in Baldwin NY 3 weeks ago. Everything was perfect! The room was beautiful, the food was delicious, and Frank Esposito and his staff were amazing! They made the happiest and most memorable day of our life just wonderful! We also used their DJ and photo booth with Adam and his Dream Works staff. The DJ was great and our MC was awesome! A big shout out to MC Alex!! And having the photo booth was a perfect way to send our guests home with a party favor. Whether it's a Wedding, a Sweet 16, a Bar Mitzvah, or any kind of party we highly recommend you check out the Coral House! We also attended their New Year's Eve party and that too is a lot of fun, and the food was delicious! We're already planning on going back next New Year's Eve! See you there! (And no, we do not work for the Coral House LOL!) read more
