I got married here on New Years Eve 2016. It was a memorable day that could not have gone any…read moresmoother. We originally spoke with Gary about our day's details and he listened, took notes and paid attention. I truly thank him for being there throughout the day to make sure all of our hired vendors were on time and on task. He even greeted my guests as they walked in! Pointed them in the right direction when someone was lost, and helped pass sparklers out for our send off at the end of the night. Being an event planner and decorator myself - it was hard to find a venue that pretty much let you have the freedom to decorate and hire outside vendors to get the job done according to my own standards. There, they let us do as we pleased. Everyone hired had to have insurance and show proof. - they do that everywhere else, so it wasn't an issue. I must say, we were assured by Gary's professionalism and courtesy that we were in good hands. Although I work here NOW, the price I paid for the Yacht Club was affordable (even then) for a New Years Eve wedding. I paid less than $5,400 for a wedding with 115guests. That includes food, dessert, liquor, and service. I know it took a while to write this review. But, we want to take a moment to thank Gary and his team at the East Rockaway Yacht Club. Mainly for working with us for what we needed and wanted for our Wedding day. That will never be forgotten. I highly recommend the East Rockaway Yacht Club for ALL events... and no, I'm not saying that because I work there now. I love the way the staff makes you feel like you're at home. It's the comfort. I highly recommend this establishment.

Their pricing was affordable and their work is amazing. Hanel was a selling point as he was so attentive and on top of all our questions and concerns throughout the process.

We could not be happier with their work. We are reliving our big day through Duet's work and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great team. I truly cannot say enough great things about them, from first phone conversation to getting all of our photos/videos today. I can't wait to get to work on our albums as well. Thank you Hanel and co for making our wedding a dream and giving us the most beautiful memories in photo and video form!!

What truly set her apart was her dedication to making our vision come to life. She went above and beyond during our trial run, taking the time to walk us through every detail so we knew exactly what to expect on our wedding day. Her attention to detail was extraordinary. She strategically placed the most stunning, vibrant flowers in all the spots where the cameras would be focused as we entered the reception hall, and our photos turned out absolutely breathtaking because of it. Our sweetheart table was AMAZING. The ceremony platform was IMMACULATE. More than just flowers, she provided peace of mind and genuine care in her craft. The florals were beyond gorgeous, and her thoughtfulness and expertise made such a difference in how our special day looked and felt. If you're looking for a florist who is talented, reliable, and will truly go the extra mile for you, choose Yomaris!!

I honestly feel I should have been charged more because her work is amazing. My biggest ask was the memorial table to honor our loved ones who had passed away. She not only did a wonderful job, she strategically placed the table in a way that was near the sweetheart table and in view for loved ones to pay their respects but also not in the way with the other tables and decorations. It meant a lot to me that she understood how sensitive this was for us. When you think of an aspiring small business owner, Yomaris is everything you imagine and more. I can't say enough good things but don't believe me check out these pictures. Many thanks Yomaris for adding so much beauty to our event.

I am a Wedding Photographer based in Long Island, New York. Over the past four years, I have…read moreworked with over a dozen decor companies and planners alike. However, I felt it necessary to write a review specifically for this one particular company. Wedding vendors are often given unlimited access to closed doors. With that said, we've seen it all! From the little mishaps to the sometimes gargantuan ones and no wedding is complete without its own. These mishaps are never seen by the guests and if you're lucky enough to hire a planner who works well under pressure, these mishaps go unnoticed by the hosts as well. Exclusive Events' attention to detail, unwavering effort, timeliness, creativity and delivery goes above and beyond and the owner, Ricky Bhatia, is always an absolute pleasure to work with! I always recommend my clients to vendors who are truly passionate about their craft and I can honestly say that you'll be at full ease should you hire Exclusive Events to bring your event to life!

We had a very mixed experience with Exclusive Events. We genuinely enjoyed working with them during…read moremuch of the planning process, and some of the décor they provided for our earlier wedding events was beautiful. Unfortunately, our experience with the florals and décor for our main wedding reception was extremely disappointing. Throughout the planning process, we provided clear inspiration photos and repeatedly communicated that we wanted an organic burgundy/maroon floral palette. Those colors and floral styles were also reflected in the proposal we signed. During our final design discussions, we were even shown arrangements similar to what ultimately appeared in the ballroom and specifically said that was NOT the look we wanted. We had our first meeting with them in January of 2026 for a September 2026 wedding, so they had 8 months to work on our event. Despite that, many of the reception arrangements were dominated by bright red roses, white and green hydrangeas, eucalyptus, and other elements that looked dramatically different from the burgundy/maroon vision we had discussed. The difference was immediately noticeable on the wedding day. We raised the issue before the reception, and while the team attempted to make adjustments, including altering some of the florals, it was far too late to recreate the design we had actually requested. Staff from our venue ultimately helped rearrange and replace some of the floral elements so that the ballroom could be ready for our reception. This was 10 minutes before the ballroom opened, imagine how terrible that felt as a couple on our wedding day? What made the situation particularly frustrating was that we had followed up in advance regarding flower availability and had been told that most of the flowers had been found and that similar substitutes would be used for anything unavailable. We were never told beforehand that the overall floral palette would be substantially different. Communication in the weeks leading up to the wedding was also much more difficult than we expected. We frequently felt that we were the ones following up to keep important details moving, including our final design consultation and other logistical matters. We also had concerns with some of the bridesmaids' bouquets and other décor details. When we later raised these concerns, we felt that too much responsibility was being placed on outside floral vendors or other circumstances rather than on the company we had hired to oversee and execute the décor. To their credit, Exclusive Events did offer us a $2,500 refund, and we do appreciate that gesture. However, considering the amount we paid for the reception floral décor and how significantly the final arrangements differed from what we had discussed and approved, we did not feel that amount reasonably reflected the problem. We calculated the total of the incorrect florals, and it totaled to over $10,000. I would've given more than 1 star, however the way they treated this matter afterwards was extremely unprofessional. There was no remorse or sympathy, just stale chatGPT generated responses to our concerns. There wasn't even an apology on the day of, they just repeatedly made it seem as if my wife was being unreasonable. This review is not meant to suggest that everything Exclusive Events did was poor. Some of their work was genuinely beautiful, and we had positive experiences with them earlier in the wedding weekend. But the reception florals were one of the most important design elements of our wedding, and unfortunately they were also the area where we felt the execution fell furthest from what we had agreed upon..
