Sand Castle

Words cannot express my gratitude to the entire Sand Castle staff. From the initial meeting with Loula to reviewing the final details with Moe, my entire experience was such a pleasant one. Sand Castle truly runs a tight ship allowing for a stress-​free and seamless event. They made my entire family and friends feel like the number one priority. The grounds are beautifully manicured and the entire staff goes above and beyond-​not to mention the food. Our leftovers still tasted amazing the day after!
My guests said it was the best wedding hands down they’ve ever been to. Thank you to the Sand Castle for creating such a beautiful event that we will never forget!

Beautiful venue great food! We came to Sand Castle for a friends wedding and loved his place. Interior is very elegant, staff is professional and décor is beautiful and their food is delicious. We got full during cocktail hour and EVERYTHING we tried was amazingly delicious!

My wife and I had our wedding here on 2÷28÷16 and we could not have asked for more. The day was perfect, the venue was perfect and the food was amazing. But before we continue on with the wedding day. I’ll bring you back to when my fiancéé and I were still venue shopping. To be honest, Sand Castle was not on our radar. We went to several different locations and we were okay with some, and straight up no with others. Sand Castle has always lingered. One day I just told my fiancéé that we should check it out just to do our due diligence. I am glad we did. I sent an email over and received a prompt response from Loula. We called and arranged a visit. Once we got to the venue, we were greeted at the door and Jamie did the rest.
Jamie was attentive and professional. Unlike the other sales personnel that we had been dealing with at other venues. Jamie sold us the idea of holding our wedding at Sand Castle. She showed us around and gave us a vision to help us imagine how things would be. We were impressed. She even had a Chinese calendar for the prosperous days for a wedding. And when it came down to business, she helped us out a lot. We couldn’t pass it up.
Once we got the venue, it was a sigh of relief. Fast forward months later, we had our first meeting with Mohamed. We can tell, he’s experienced. The way he was efficient and went through the entire long list of things we had to go through in a short amount of time. It was amazing.
Fast forward another few months to the wedding day. When things are most hectic, the staff at Sand Castle relieved a lot of the excess stress. The bridal attendants, the maitre d’s were all one step ahead of us. It felt like they anticipated what we needed. It was was much appreciated.
The food. We chose the Imperial Menu as it was a no brainer. The martini bar, the viennese hour along with many other foods. We did not want any of our guests to say they went home hungry. Matter of fact, from what I’ve heard, all the guests said they ended up really full and complimented the food. Too bad, as the bride and groom, we don’t really get to eat much :(. The staff however, did make sure we get to taste all of it. They packed us so much food, we asked our friends to come empty our fridge the next day.
At the end of the night, we got a little surprise. Mohamed offered to have their car take us home. My wife and I thought it would be a regular car service. I didn’t think they would actually take us home in their Rolls Royce. Sand Castle really made our wedding day special and we loved the entire experience. Thank you Sand Castle, you guys are the best!

Absolutely beautiful place for a wedding. Attended a wedding here (²⁄₂₀₁₆) and enjoyed the food and ambiance immensely. The staff has a nice attention to detail and they seem to take care of their clientele. It’s a little chilly in some areas, but overall a beautiful place for an event.

Beautiful wedding venue! Came here as a guest for a greek wedding reception. Great food and service, the highlight being the Viennese dessert buffet at the end. Usually places like this have a stellar cocktail hour but then average dinner entrees. This place had even MORE delicious dinner entrees and they even come around to your tables again with platters of «seconds.» It’s a large space, but I didn’t like how the ceilings were surprisingly low. Fun to see the bride and groom’s surprise «entrance.»

I had the wedding of my dreams thanks to sand castle. Everything was perfect! Mohamed made sure every detail was exactly the way i wanted it. The whole staff went above and beyond with every thing. The food was so delicious. I couldn’t be any happier.

Love this place !
My family has had a few weddings here ! They were all beyond amazing!!!
I would def recommend to a bride to be!

We just booked our wedding at the Sand Castle for next December and we could not be more excited. The food looks incredible and the service is 5 star. They include so much in the package that you don’t need to worry about constant ads ons (like almost all the other places we saw). Dina has been great so far with showing us everything and then doing the same tour and explanation for my parents! I’m so excited to continue working with them to make our day perfect!

Awww we really wanted to book Sand Castle but we went with a different venue bc their ceremony space was lacking a bit, and their afternoon schedule is hard to work with.
The inside and their offers are crazy (don’t worry it’s a good crazy)– bartenders descending from the ceiling, abundance of food, and sound system and smoke machine already provided. It tries hard to impress, but I found the fake castle theme a bit gaudy.
Prices here are extremely reasonable and they are willing to work with you. A very close second!

I went to a wedding here and it was AMAZING. They staff was efficient and accommodating. The cocktail hour and reception were perfection. The food is heavenly. Most catering halls only do specific dishes well, the seafood, chicken, beef EVERYTHING was on the same level. Sand Castle should seriously consider opening a restaurant. Absolutely professional and a very beautiful space. I don’t like that the bathrooms are on the second level and we were on the ground level but everything else was GREAT. Gotta come back for that crisp calamari and flaky salmon for my 21^st birthday or college graduation party. Honestly one of the best catering halls in NY. Rivals my other A lister Villa Bruno, Giando’s On The Water and Westbury Manor.

I just had my wedding here last night and i am beyond impressed with how incredibly smooth everything went. 10 minutes in, people were already telling my family that this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Everything from the lighting and the attendants to the food, omg the fooood. I can’t even begin to explain how much food there was and how insanely delicious everything was. If you are debating between this venue and any other, I can assure you the Sand Castle will go above and beyond for your day. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you to Mohammed for all of the smooth planning, my bridal attendant Joanna, and all of the staff in general for creating an unforgettable evening for me and my family.

There aren’t enough words to clearly state how pleased I was with everything surrounding the planning of my wedding that took place 12÷5÷14. From the minute we met with Loula when we went to tour the facility to leaving at the end of the night with Mohamed making sure every last thing and been handled, 5 star service, 5 star food, 5 star beautiful building. I still have people telling me that my wedding was one of the best they had ever been to and nothing means more to me than that.
I had gone to my cousins wedding there a few years earlier and when it was time for me to look at venues for mine this was first on my list because I was so blown away at their wedding. And it did not disappoint. They did everything we asked them to and a billion things we never even thought of. They took the very best care of my 7 year old daughter, even covering her up with a table cloth (blanket) when she fell asleep in the bridal suite during the reception, and checking on her throughout the night so I could enjoy myself as much as possible.
I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone with full assurance that the person would not be dissatisfied. All positive reviews on Unilocal are truthful and pretty much on point. They made my wedding.

Made an appt. Way overpriced for sliders and Chinese cartons at cocktail. Place is beautiful but they did not work with our budget. We were told to try a different month, in winter, if we want a better prove pft they didn’t even entertain the idea

I got married here April, 2012 beautiful place they take care of there guest. I love this place there food is delicious and there staff is great.

This venue is ridiculous. I accompanied my girlfriend to her friend’s wedding. The entire wedding was held on the premises, from the ceremony to the reception. The ceremony was held outside in the garden area. The guest list was huge and it was standing room only for the lovely ceremony. The grounds are perfectly manicured and obviously well-​kept.
After the ceremony, we headed upstairs to the cocktail hour which was held, mostly, in a huge room with tables, bars, carving stations and self-​serve stations located all around. Passed hors d’oeuvres floated across the room and found their way to my plate. Well prepared lamb chops, bruschetta and shrimp, to name a few. They have a huge boat display in the middle of the room which was wonderfully adorned with the freshest oysters, clams, shrimp cocktail and ceviche.
The couple, who are of African and Caribbean descent, had a live steel drum player and great music while we ate and dined. One really cool feature that this venue offers shocked the heck out of us when the lights came down and the strobes started; another bar, aglow with flashing lights began it’s descent from the ceiling, manned by a quite talented, juggling gentleman, tending bar. It was remarkable.
The one downside is that the restrooms were so far from each room were in. We had to go up or down a lot of steps to get to the restrooms. In my opinion, there weren’t enough for the amount of people in attendance. On the upside of that, the bathroom attendants were well prepared and stocked with everything a girl might need to freshen up during the duration of the event.
We drank and socialized and were ushered downstairs for the reception, into a most grand ballroom. The décor was lovely, with ethereal draped ceilings and columns, throughout. The new couple made their grand entrance from a secret wall that made a 180 degree turn, with their names in lights behind them. The ballroom also has flat screens on the walls so that everyone is afforded a view of the action.
After more drinks, dancing and cake, the viennese tables were paraded into the center of the room with huge displays of desserts, a chocolate fountain and so many other goodies.
This was a great wedding at a wonderful venue. The staff were all attentive, save for a few bartenders, who seemed like they may have been sampling some drinks, themselves. I would love to attend another event here.

Just had my wedding at Sand Castle on September 19^th, 2015. I must say everything was perfect from the staff and service to the food. The staff was very nice and very helpful especially Mohamed and Jamie. Jamie was great throughout the process before our wedding day. Mohamed made sure everything went seamlessly. Our maitre d and bridal attendant was fantastic and patient. The food and presentation was amazing. All my guests gave great feedback and said it was the best wedding ever. Thank you Sand Castle for making our wedding a very memorable experience. You guys are great!

We attended a wedding at the Sand Castle last night and it was absolutely beautiful! We arrived a little early so were were ushered into a hospitality area to have a seat and drinks. When the time came were were shown to the cocktail hour area.
Wow! What a great, delicious, and huge cocktail hour. There was everything from fresh seafood, sushi, hot dishes, and even martini bar that descended from the ceiling. That was pretty cool. I’d never seen anything like that before.
Dinner was equally great with many choices from veal, chicken, filet mignon, shrimp, and a vegetarian option. But the Viennese hour stole the show. Sooooo many endless desserts.
The waiters and waitresses were also great and attentive. I also loved that the venue accommodated one wedding at a time.

This review is extremely past due… got married here in August 2013 but Ill tell you Sand Castle is as good as it gets! Been to many weddings and not just because it was my own, am saying WOW! Even though I was not a fan of the «princess/​castle décor», I quickly forgot about it once it came to everything else this venue has to offer. Service was top notch, food was amazing and the accommodations phenomenal. Mohamed, Loula, Lukas, & the entire staff went above and beyond for us! Even though it was two years ago, people are still talking about it and the amazing time they had raving about the atmosphere, quality, & food. Everything from cocktail hour to Viennese hour, unbelievable! We couldn’t be happier in choosing the Sand Castle for our wedding and HIGHLY recommend them!

The service, friendliness, and abundance of food is the reason why I gave this place 4 stars. They really made a Tuesday wedding feel like a Saturday, the drinks were tasty and strong. The Dj and band were fantastic, they kept the party LIVE. The décor was regular wedding style but I didn’t mind because I just had soooo much fun! One star removed because I caught wind on how expensive this wedding was… And for a weekday it is pricey.

This is a very good catering hall. The entire place is beautiful. The food is very good and the staff are great. I have been here for many different events and I have always had a good time. Check them out.
