Bridgeview Yacht Club - ISLAND PARK

I had my bridal shower at Bridgeview and I could not be happier! From day one, Jenn and Eric went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The food was amazing! I recommend the Bridgeview without reservation and look forward to having another event there in the future. Thank you Jenn and Eric!

I'm very upset having to write this review. My friends who are in the wedding business highly recommended this venue and I expected more. My friends were due to get married here last year and had to postpone their wedding bc of covid. The venue won't let them postpone their wedding again and they are losing all of their deposit, which was thousands of dollars. Not to mention all the money they had to put deposits down for the other vendors (photog, DJ, florist etc. the current covid regulations say 150 people max, and my friends have a 300 person guest list. When you plan a wedding for that many people, how can you cut your guest list in half? How can Bridgeview not be understanding and not let them postpone the wedding again? To make matters even worse, my friend's mother just passed away, and understandably, who would want to throw a big wedding so soon after that? Seriously Bridgeview, have some compassion. I know covid has been hard on businesses, but I also know there have been a lot of bailouts, and to not even try to work with this couple is bad for Bridgeview's reputation. Not even willing to give them a partial credit on their deposit for a party in the future? Com'on. I will no longer recommend this venue.

I came here for a Social event with colleagues. When I got here, I couldn't figure out where to park right away because there are no noticeable signs to park in the lot across the street. Plus the parking lot isn't marked for parking spots. When I went inside there was a cocktail room with lots of small tables. People seemed to be confused to where to sit with their friends and a bunch gathered in the area of the bar which filled up with waiting people quickly. They had a table out with fruits, cheeses, and crackers. I'm gluten and dairy free, so I had to just eat the fruit. I asked the servers walking around with hors d'oeuvres if they had any that were gluten free and was told, no, none are gluten free that I could eat, and nothing that they could make me. After about an hour had passed, doors were opened up to a hallway, and people slowly filtered out into a big room with a DJ, bar, dance floor and big tables. I then sat at a table and relaxed while others came into the room and took seats. I observed people arguing and yelling at each other over the seats and soon had people asking me if they could sit in the seats next to me. They seemed upset that they couldn't fit their group at the table because other people took some of the seats next to me as well. Soon salad was being put on our plates. They had to special make mine without cheese. This salad shouldn't of came with cheese on it already. Then soon they gave ravioli to everyone and brought me a plate of gluten rotini in tomato sauce. More time passed where I talked with others and the main courses started coming out. They served mine, gluten and dairy free chicken, quiche, and rice, in a fold up tin that I had to rip open. It was ok, and tasted bland, like it looks. After dinner desert came out, ice cream on a table with toppings. Nothing I could have again since it was almost all dairy. What do I think of this place? It is mediocre at best. The food is almost all frozen and not fresh, there aren't many gluten and dairy free options, especially during times for hors d'oeuvres and desert times, the bars were constantly packed with people and long lines, and I was still a bit hungry. It was a nice facility, with a view of the water outside on the doc, but nothing to brag about. I do think this place has potential to be great if they fixed everything I mentioned. These things took away from having a great experience there. I think it is a decent place for big events, but make sure you bring extra entertainment for your guests other than a DJ. I posted a few pictures for you to see.

My husband and I are preferred wedding vendors at the Bridgeview and are so happy to photograph there often. We always have an incredible time. The food is delicious and the staff is so helpful. Eric is hands down one of the best maitre d's we have ever worked with so you are in great hands when having your wedding there!

Had my wedding there on June 30 and EVERYTHING was AMAZING ! The food was so yummy and Eric was amazing to work with he made the day so special! I would also like the mention that the temperature of the place was perfect as most of our guest were dancing and having the best time ! Would book there again in a heart beat. Honestly I hope one of my friends has a wedding there so I can be a guest just to go back
