Rob and Lauren, along with the bartenders, wait staff, and the entire crew were professional and dedicated throughout the entire event! From planning to the day of everyone involved showed genuine care and concern for our party going exactly how we wanted. The food was served hot, delicious, and we received many compliments on it from our guests! We had an open bar for this event which everyone really enjoyed. We hired a Dj for this event and everyone had a great time out on the dance floor. Asking the staff to set up the tables how we wanted along with decor was no problem at all. The venue is just beautiful!! The main entrance is elegant and gives a WOW feeling to your guests as they arrive. The catering hall/party room has a fire place, bar area, tables set up with modern fancy chairs, and then leads to the indoor patio filled with windows for a beautiful view. It was nice having access to the bridal suite to get ready and store some items in during the party as well. They even had a wood photo back drop ready for us! We brought along some of our own decorations to make it unique to us, like a banner, florals, and seashells to fit our theme. You have so much room for creativity and personalization at this venue! For a party in warm weather the outside is just as pretty. There is a gazebo, perfect for photo opportunities. The grass is well kept and gives a stunning view for enjoying cocktail hour outside. This venue is perfect for a wedding, sweet 16, retirement party, christening, bar-mitzvah, or any event you can think of. Very affordable as well. I don't think you can beat this price with any other venue that is as wonderful as this one. Just give them a call and Rob will certainly help you plan your event so it meets all of your expectations!

From the moment we stepped foot in Mill Pond, our very first tour of the place, we just felt it…read moreright in our hearts this venue was the one for our special day. The venue is set in a quiet area in Medford, overlooking the golf course, with a gazebo on the grounds, which is a gorgeous view. It felt very intimate and humble, not intimidating and over the top like some venues are. We felt that it was a romantic and beautiful setting. Charlotte is an absolute pleasure to work with and she was one of the major reasons we chose Mill Pond. She is very passionate about her job and really listens to you and your concerns. She's friendly, very knowledgable of the field, dedicated to make your day as special and beautiful as possible, and is overall a wonderful soul. After we had our first tasting of the food, we were sold. The food at the tasting, as well as on our wedding day, was so divinely delicious, and well prepared and presented. Our sincerest compliments to the chefs that day as they really worked so hard to make the food as delicious as they did and it really shows because the guests just keep raving about it all - the cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert. Especially the mashed potato bar; that was a huge hit! All of the servers that day were so well mannered and professional. They were so willing to help us and our guests and made sure to ask us if we needed anything and followed through on our every need. Our bartenders were professional, helpful, and friendly, and of course all the guests were very pleased with the beverages served. I'm sorry if I'm forgetting anyone but every staff member working that day was awesome and so helpful. I have only the best experiences with everyone that day and have only good memories of everyone. We are so pleased of the whole process from the very beginning of our first tour, to the very minute we were walking out of the venue concluding the night of our wedding. We cannot wait to work with Mill Pond again for future parties as we had the most pleasant and awesome experience with them. Our guests had so many great things to say and so many said they will recommend Mill Pond to anyone in search of a venue. Thank you all so much for working so hard on our wedding day and for taking pride in your jobs! Our day was so special and beautiful because of you all and we are so grateful for that!

My niece is a huge fan of everything barbecue so there was a lovely spread of pulled pork, mac & cheese, coleslaw, a brisket carving station, and passed hors d'oeuvres, such as sliders and scrumptious mini crabcakes. Being this was in Stony Brook, it was a long drive from home, but we had an absolutely wonderful time nonetheless.

This spot was perfect for our 55 person wedding with views and all. It was picturesque, simple and gave us everything we needed since we had a very DIY wedding. I first worked with Jackie and then Elise took over mid year. Elise was an amazing catering manager. She returned every call, text and email and was so easy to work with and accommodating. I visited several times throughout the year to see the space and she was so helpful every time I came to visit. I even wanted some extra time on top of the 4 hours we booked and Elise was able to take care of everything. I started out working with someone and gained a friend. She was so kind and assured me everything would come out perfectly. It did! Few things to know before you book: -You will have to book with Britannia Yachting Center to book the space separately since they are their own entity. After that, Elise from Harbor View will take care of everything, even communication with the folks who run the space. It felt like a little wonky of an arrangement to book and speak to two people separately, but Elise helped make everything run smoothly. -If you want the outside deck, ask! Just be prepared to pay a small extra fee. In my opinion, totally worth it! -It's bare bones! Be prepared to decorate it up as much as you want, or as little, it is a blank canvas! -Harborview has their own linens and blue chairs, but I do recommend you rent your own that better fit the circular tables, especially for nicer events like showers or bigger parties. I recommend you rent your own chairs as well. -If you want cloth napkins, make sure you ask for them, or rent them yourselves! We just went for their regular paper/cocktail napkins and it worked out just lovely for us since everything was buffet style anyway. -Ask for their preferred vendors. We found our DJ, chair and linen rental, tent rental. Everyone was pretty easy to work with for the most part. There is a very relaxed vibe, but everyone gets their stuff done since they're already familiar with the venue. No one disappointed on the big day and we were able to trust that all our vendors could get their stuff done. Ashely and Mike were great, helpful, nice and fun to work with as well bartending and keeping the place in order all night. Our guests were delighted and pleased with the service. The food was AMAZING! I recommend the mussels, shrimp cocktail, chicken marsala, beef tenderloin and penne a la vodka. All the pastas and seafood here are so good. It was so hard to pick from the menu they showed us because everything looked so good. There were plenty of options as well for our dairy free/vegetarian/vegan guests as well. Our guests continue to rave about how great the food was. For drinks champagne, wine, beer, sangria and soda is all you need for a party here! They also have a liquor package if you like :) The prices for renting the space and for the catering were the best I've seen in New York. My new husband and I didn't want to go in debt for our wedding, and Harbor View helped make that happen! You can still stay budget and have an amazing wedding. We can't wait to come back and celebrate again! We love this space and the restaurant next door, the Whale's Tale. We'll continue to visit as much as we can!

It is intimate and perfect for any special event. Tonight we came for a elite event, invite only from one of my favorite radio stations ( @WALK975 ) to see American Idol winner Phil Phillips. A great big THANK YOU to Patrick Shea, Mike, Christina and all the rest of the team that made this epic night possible. The Beach Club at Lake Ronkonkoma is set up perfectly for live entertainment outside. Beautifully adorned with tropical palms, colorful flowers and spacious dance area. It feel Luxurious. Ava Della Pietra, a local senior here on the Island opened for Phil with her hit "Happy for You". Ava has a beautiful voice and I'm sure we will be seeing her name up in lights soon. To follow her on Instagram @avadellapietra Phil came out next, he was spectacular. He did not disappoint. He was very interactive with the attendees answering questions between songs and giving us stories of his life as a new Dad. He is charming and charismatic, as well as a talented artist. Check out his new music, Dancing With Your Shadows @phillphill Ending the night dancing to the music from Vinyl Revival Band was so much fun. This is a professional dance, disco, classic rock party band that plays at local live music venues on the Island. Contact info at 516-384-0363. Life is good when you get these moments of ultimate bliss. I was in the zone watching the first summer sunset , enjoying the beautiful weather and listening to the night's music. Now as far as the food it was just ok. I had the coconut shrimp that was a little to greasy for me & tomato and mozzarella that had absolutely no salt and a very little drizzle of balsamic. It definitely needed something. It might just have just been a bad night for the chef. Even though the food did not match the decor the place is still truly a Long Island Gem.

I am giving this venue 4 stars only because of the challenges that we experienced with the management of the venue while planning the wedding. Our original wedding plans were impacted by the pandemic and there were small things that could have been handled better including us having to increase the number of guests in order to reschedule the wedding to 2021. While planning for the event, I would look up reviews intermittently and the negative reviews about the venue did cause me to worry about how things would turnout, but I tried to remain positive. I had also been in touch with Uncle Frank who was the first person we met when we booked, was the person who married us, and was always warm and sweet, so that did help me feel more at ease. From the minute we arrived up until we closed down the venue at the end of the night, everything was beyond my expectations. We had an incredible time, and the staff was great. Food: the appetizers and the cocktail hour station got great reviews from my guests. The bridal attendant and Vickie made sure that there were plenty of appetizers in the bridal suite and were great about making sure that I too, got to enjoy this part of the event. We selected a buffet style dinner. My guests loved the food, even the critical foodie friends and family said the food was excellent. I have to thank Vickie for making sure that I sat and ate, which is why I can also attest to how great the food was. The sausage and peppers were on point, the filet mignon wasn't over cooked, and the chicken francese was one of the best I ever had. Staff: Vickie, the bridal attendant (I forget how to spell her name), Jay, the servers, and Bill the Bartender were all awesome. The staff was helpful to my guests and made sure that everyone was comfortable. Vickie made sure that everything ran smoothly and that I was happy. The bridal attendant (I forget how to spell her name) and Vickie checked on me throughout the night and made sure that I had everything I needed. If I got up and looked like I needed something, either Vickie or the bridal attendant were at my side asking if I needed anything. The actual venue is beautiful and speaks for itself. Our DJ (Events Unlimited) used the playlist I provided and built an awesome music set that kept me and my guests dancing the entire evening. I am grateful that my experience with the staff on the day of went beyond my expectations.
