BOLI Love!
I knew I wanted to get married here before I was engaged. The venue is rustic and beautiful, on the golf course with the option to get married at Camp Hero. The staff was phenomenal especially the manager Doug. Our wedding day ran SO smoothly and I know we owe that to him, he’s essentially your day-of coordinator. When I lost my bouquet after the ceremony, and was in the bridal suite crying because my late grandfather's handkerchief was in it, Doug wasted no time calling all of our transport vendors and photographer. He ended up driving back to Camp Hero and returned minutes later with my bouquet. The food was AMAZING, and the ceremony at Camp Hero was beautiful.
We can't say enough great things about everyone at 360 East. The bridal attendants were amazing and made the day run super smooth, even with some hiccups from other vendors. They were incredibly helpful with all of the day-of questions and made us much more relaxed.
360 East was beautiful, the food was amazing, the maitre d' & bridal attendant were truly such an amazing duo. They worked so well together, and the day was perfect because of them! It was downpouring most of the day and ceremony locations changed, but otherwise everything was perfect. I wouldn’t have picked another venue!
360 East at Montauk Downs was the absolute perfect place to get married. From the first day we started working with Doug (General Manager) to the last minute of the night, our wedding went so smoothly with all the details that we wanted. Montauk has always been near and dear to my husband and I's heart, and we knew we would want to get married there. We had our ceremony at the Catholic Church and then our reception at 360 East. The views around the deck are so beautiful, especially as the sun sets, and then the transition into the reception was seamless. Doug, Jake, and the team did such a spectacular job in making our day better than we could have ever hoped for. The food was to die for. All of our guests told us they thought it was delicious! The lighting of the big chandeliers is breathtaking, and the wood panels make the room very unique. We added a raw bar for the cocktail hour, which had 2 shuckers giving out the fresh oysters. Doug works with you on what works well for the room and what doesn't. All of the Lessing's vendors that are recommended did such a fantastic job in making our vision come to life. I would highly recommend the venue to any bride and groom looking to have an event that will blow your guests away. Thank you so much to our vendors especially Doug and Jake, for making our day the best day of our lives. We are so appreciative of all of your hard work. To any of the brides and grooms out there, you won't regret getting married here!!

John, Cristina, and their team went above and beyond. My husband and I were completely blown away by the attention to detail and professionalism John and Cristina showed us, our guests, and most importantly our parents. From the first minute until the very last, Cristina was there to provide exceptional service. I would also be remised if I did not mention John Rodriguez and his staff. They ensured the reception worked like clockwork. The bridal suite, the dinner, the cocktail hour, the layout of the tables, EVERYTHING was exceptional. Our guests often mentioned this was the party of the year. Thank you, John, and Cristina. Your team rocked it!
Still smiling from how perfect our wedding was at 360 East. We had our ceremony at Camp Hero and ended up being an insanely windy day. The 360 team was on top of everything and connected with our vendors to make sure our ceremony went off perfectly. Doug was great to work with. He provided his honest opinion and suggestions but made sure to leave decisions up to us. He was always very responsive and made sure to connect with us on a regular basis. The planning materials he provides were extremely useful and really made our wedding planning that much more seamless. Doug's staff is incredible, and everyone was so lovely and helpful. Our bridal attendant was super sweet, and our maitre d', John, went above and beyond. He was with my husband and I from start to finish and always thinking one step ahead to ensure we had the best evening - truly can't thank him enough. The venue is stunning and was the perfect spot to celebrate with our family and friends. Guests loved the food and everything about our evening. I would highly recommend working with Doug and celebrating your big day at 360!
DEFINITELY GET MARRIED HERE! My wife and I got married at 360 East, and we were absolutely in love with everything about this place. To say that the manager, Doug, was a pleasure to work with is a complete understatement. He was like our saving grace during the extremely stressful process of trying to plan a wedding during these crazy times of COVID. He was always open and honest with us, and he supported us through many stressful moments as we had to postpone our wedding TWICE! There are tons of decisions to make, but Doug is a master at his craft and will always lead you in the right direction. After our meetings with him, we always felt comfortable that our wedding day was in his hands. On top of that, his staff, especially his maître d' (special shout out to Jonathan!) and bridal attendant treated us like royalty on the day of our wedding; we always had a drink waiting for us, food in our suite and at our table, and anything else we needed without even asking. We had our ceremony at the bluffs in Montauk which has a backdrop of the ocean and the lighthouse… talk about the most beautiful place to get married! The venue itself is gorgeous with high, vaulted ceilings, dark wood, and really unique lights. Not to mention the 360 views with windows all around. The food was some of the best wedding food we've ever had, and our guests are still raving about the entire day. Do yourself a favor and look no further… this place is the real deal!
360 East is such a beautiful place to have your wedding, from the Camp Hero ceremony, to the 360 views at cocktail hour, to your reception! Doug and John were so great to work with. Their entire hospitality team was extremely professional, anticipated all our needs, and made sure every single guest has the best day ever. From the beginning, Doug made our wedding planning process so incredibly easy and smooth. This was the only venue we needed to look at because we knew it was special. We are so happy we chose 360! The food was amazing from appetizers to entrees to desserts. Our guests all agreed that this was one of the most amazing wedding meals and experience they ever had. Thank you all for making our wedding so incredibly special.
If you're thinking of getting married at 360 East, get married here!!! Your wedding will be amazing!!! Doug and John are great to work with. They have been in the business for a long time and definitely know what they’re doing!! My husband and I just got married here, and guests keep telling us how our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and they have been raving about the food. The food is the best wedding food I have ever had, hands down!! Nothing is pre-cooked and you can tell. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The passed hors d’oeuvres were out of this world! Bacon wrapped scallops, crab cakes, sliders, filet mignon crostini, tuna tartare, sliders, pulled pork, and lobster rolls were our choices. We had to have our cocktail hour downstairs and they decorated everything so beautifully, it was truly amazing! Highly recommend the raw bar and empanada station. Guests loved the ice cream sundae bar and the fondue fountain. We added on an extra hour to our reception, and I can’t imagine cutting it any shorter. If you love Montauk and want a true Montauk wedding, there is no other place to get married. Everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you to the amazing staff at 360 for making our wedding day the best night of our lives!!
We chose this venue for its rustic and elegant feel. We both felt strongly about not wanting a “typical Long Island venue” and loved the high wooden ceilings, light fixtures, balcony, views, etc. The food was incredible and our guests said it was the best food they’ve had a wedding. All of the staff was incredible and on point throughout the whole night.
