The View at Oakdale

Located in Oakdale, NY, View is a waterfront restaurant and wedding venue devoted to creating memorable events. Nestled on Long Island’s magnificent South Shore, this property was once part of William K. Vanderbilt’s Idle Hour Estate, a legacy that the current management team, Lessing's Hospitality Group, is honored to be part of. With multiple indoor and outdoor event spaces on-site, as well as a stunning dockside patio, View is a venue where the scenery takes center stage. Couples can host their wedding ceremony and reception at View, saying “I do” and celebrating in one picturesque setting. Great South Bay offers the perfect backdrop for ceremonies on the patio, with fresh coastal air surrounding the nearlyweds as they begin married life under the charming white gazebo. Afterward, guests can enjoy a glass of champagne al fresco before retiring to the dining room for the evening reception. Featuring large windows, soft furnishings, and earthy wooden floors, this space can accommodate up to 180 guests for a seated meal or up to 200 for a cocktail-style gathering. The events team at View are experts at making the planning process easy and stress-free for couples. They offer all-inclusive packages that can be tailored to suit any wedding style or budget. Coastal-inspired fare is View’s catering staff’s specialty, and this is reflected in their private dining menu. All dishes can be paired with the selection of wines, beers, and other beverages available from the venue’s full-service bar. From the first vows to the final sunset, weddings at View are an experience not to be forgotten.
