Visited here for a wedding party and the locale is nice, staff are friendly and venue easily held 100+ people. The estate the home sits on is also very large and has a lot of nice grass and trees which are especially pretty at sunset during the summer. The only picture I have was from at night but The Bates House should be on your list for any LI event you’re planning!

I attended a smaller wedding (approx 125 people) and the place is very nice and private. The grounds are picture-worthy BUT....I learned from the groom it's basically a DIY venue. They supply chairs and tables and that's it. You have to source and cater everything else on your own - tablecloths, silverware, everything - there's not even a full function kitchen. You must also ensure it is cleaned and garbage is collected and placed in the dumpster when you're done. This includes cleaning the two small bathrooms as well. It's a lot of work ensuring your hired vendors conform to the rules, since ultimately it's your responsibility. If this is what you want and go into it expecting to do a lot of leg work and coordination, then it's great. But if you're looking for a "catering hall" and help along the way, keep looking.

Incredible, both in the beautiful nature of the location and the support from Lise. We held our wedding her and could not speak more highly of the experience. Lise went above and beyond to support us as we found vendors, planned details, and navigated COVID. We will be forever grateful and could not be happier with our time at the Bates house.
