Chateau La Mer

Chateau La Mer is a waterfront venue in Lindenhurst, on the Great South Bay, offering a setting for weddings, receptions and other celebrations. Its location brings the water into view throughout the occasion, giving guests a scenic backdrop for photographs, drinks and time together.

The venue combines indoor function space with outdoor areas, including a multi-level waterside patio and a gazebo for ceremonies. This allows organisers to plan different parts of an event in distinct settings, such as an outdoor ceremony followed by cocktails and a reception indoors. The patio can also be used for an indoor-outdoor cocktail hour, making it a useful option for gatherings that benefit from fresh air and bay views.

For wedding organisers, the venue offers space for the ceremony and reception in one location. A yacht arrival is also described as an option, adding a distinctive entrance for the couple and a memorable moment for guests. The waterfront surroundings provide natural opportunities for event photography, while the combination of ballroom and patio space gives planners flexibility when shaping the day's flow.

Chateau La Mer also hosts other private and seasonal celebrations. Its New Year's Eve programme includes a seated dinner, drinks, appetisers and a midnight toast, illustrating the venue's capacity to accommodate organised dining events. Organisers can consider the location for occasions where a dedicated banquet setting, food and drink, and a waterside atmosphere are central to the guest experience. The venue is based on South Wellwood Avenue in Lindenhurst, Long Island.
