East Wind Long Island - Wading River, New York

My husband and I along with another couple attended this year's New Year's eve celebration. When we first walked in, we were so pleased with how beautiful the place looked. Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. There was only one bar open With two extremely slow And an experienced bartenders. My husband asked for a Moscow Mule and receive vodka with tonic with a lemon. When I went back up to the counter, the Bartender who made the mistake in the First place looked at me like I had three heads. When we bought the tickets, we were told it would be top shelf liquor. That was so far from the truth. I hardly think that Bacardi is top shelf. They didn't have any bourbon. The drinks were absolutely terrible. It was such a disappointment, waiting on a long line to get a drink that was Either not what you asked for or made with rack liquor and therefore tasted terrible only to have to go wait online again. We wound up drinking Bud Light in a bottle because we knew that they couldn't get that wrong. The line to get a drink was always extremely long at least a 7 to 10 minute wait. It was very disheartening. The food was definitely not what We expected it to be. We thought it would be top notch because of the venue we were at, but we were very wrong. Dessert was even worse. It tasted like buffet food. Everyone at our table, and there were 10 of us, all very disappointed in the food and the dessert. Everyone online was complaining about how long the drink line was so it was not just us. Then the kicker was the DJ is playing his music and forgets to do the New Year's countdown. It wasn't until 12:01 That he did a quick Countdown from 10 to one. Several tables were all looking around like what the heck is going on people were talking about it and laughing because we couldn't believe that it was a New Year's Eve event and they didn't even get that right. My daughter soon to be son-in-law wanted us to let them know what we thought of the venue because they wanted to book their wedding there. Needless to say, we will not be having the wedding there. We were so disappointed because we were really looking forward to our evening. We will not be back!

Don’t book a room here expecting, any type of mini fridge in the room, microwave, coffee in room or in lobby. They only left one bar of soap and I guess they expect you to use it as soap for your hands at the sink and your body wash? So even if it’s a one night trip make sure to bring everything yourself. You will have to explicitly ask for these things at the time of booking room and it’s all extra charge. Also there was construction being done in the rooms next to us and they never gave us a heads up. Did not live up to expectations and was seriously disappointed.

We just had our wedding at The Vineyard. We had such a great night, the food was great and the staff was awesome! Nicole did a great job guiding us along the planning journey. Barbara took great care of us and gave such special attention to LeeAnn and her needs as the Bride. And finally, Reid - great job!! He was so organized and attentive from start to finish. Big thanks to everyone involved in making our event special! We received so many compliments from our guests as well!

Amazing place. Sorry I haven't come here sooner. Stayed overnight to take advantage of their Fall in Love special. Really a great trip. The special included a night's stay and vouchers for their in house spa and restaurant. The spa was nice. The restaurant was more than reasonably priced with many great options. Very large portion sizes. One of the best French onion soups I ever had. The special even included a drink for my wife and I. Really nice to be able to just walk back to your room following spa services and dinner. Next day had breakfast at one of the Shoppes. Would definitely go again on a similar special.

I am in awe, we had our wedding here on Saturday 2/8/25. We came to the East wind on the fly after being disappointed with other venues. Nicole our sales manager took us right away, her genuine charisma and professionalism sealed the deal.

Throughout the process Nicole remained in touch and informative. Now to the wedding day. Oh my god I could rave on and on, sure the rooms are a bit outdated but they are in the process of renovation.

Our reception was in the veranda, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Everyone from the wait staff, to the front desk and even the employees passing in the hallway were so warm, accommodating and friendly. We truly felt like royalty.

Now to our maitre‘d Tony and bridal assistant Lex. Tony handles all of the fine details with grace, warmth and professional. He truly shows you that your happiness is his top priority. Service from Tony was impeccable.

Lex, our bridal assistant was godsend, she was nothing short of amazing. Lex, has a heart of gold, a smile that puts you at ease and takes so much pride in her service. I could only cry thinking about her. She ran up and down and took care of every fine detail I needed as the bride.

I would 100% recommend East wind for your wedding venues. They know what they are doing and the comfort and ease their staff brings you is unmatched.

I planned a last minute bachelorette trip for the Spa-Tini overnight package for a group of 5 girls. Luisa (Hotel Mngr) and Ann Marie (Spa Director) were so accommodating trying to make sure they were able to squeeze us in over the holiday weekend and their extra effort was so appreciated. Every staff member we interacted with was so nice and helpful, the rooms were spacious and very clean and the food and cocktails at Desmond’s and Ruggero’s were delicious! We already can’t wait to come back.
