I need your help. My fiance and I have been to over a dozen wedding venues and finally found two we like. The problem is no one we know has heard of either of them. Can you give me any reviews you've heard or even better personal experiences regarding these two locations?
Re: Riviera at Massapequa or The Vineyard Caterers
i went to a wedding at vineyard caterers this summer and it was one of the best I have been to! The Food was AWESOME, the service was great and the outside ceremony site was lovely! The one thing I didnt love was that there are no windows in the reception room..I love windows lol. Other than that it was AMAZING!
Never been to a wedding at the riviera but ihave heard great things about it as well!

I don't know if they are affiliated but I was in a wedding at the Riviera BKLYN this summer. Food was aaaaamazing, service amazing, party amazing! The wedding was great, ppl are still talking about it! So if they are owned by the same people you are in luck!

Re: Riviera at Massapequa or The Vineyard Caterers
Went to a wedding at the riviera once... not bad, not great. the cocktail hour food was delicious and it was outside which is absolutely beautiful! The room inside is a weird shape and alot of people couldnt see the dance floor from where they were sitting (hard to see 1st dance etc) Kinda felt a bit cramped... and only one bar. The main meal at dinner was ok... but not nearly as impressive as their cocktail hour!
Never went to the vineyard caterers though so cant make a comparison for you!!
HTH!

I went a wedding at Vineyard. The food was fine (no complaints) but nothing to write home about either. I remember the duck at the CH being really really good though! They also had this weird forced air system in the cocktail hour/bar area that created enough wind to knock you over. I would ask about that if you're considering it.

Vineyard Caterers!! Been to Riviera...it's pretty, especially on the water though. Didnt love how the kitchen is right by the dance floor, so the waiters kept coming out and bumping into you while you were dancing.

Re: Riviera at Massapequa or The Vineyard Caterers
never been to the Vineyard. We are booked at the Riviera for our May wedding. Had a chance to taste the food at one of their showcases last year and it was phenominal! It's perfect for the amount of guests we are expecting to have (I be weary about having more than 150 because it might get too cramped and then the tables might be spilling out into the dance floor area). I love that we have the option for an outdoor cocktail hour (huge plus!) but if it rains they have a very nice indoor CH area. The people there are very sweet and easy to work with. Prices are extremely reasonable. And I just love the feeling I got when I stepped inside - for me I just knew it was THE ONE. And when I bought FH to see it he thought the same thing.
Good Luck with whatever you decide!
