As a DJ with 25 years of spinning behind the decks and running my own agency of NYC DJs, I’ve played everywhere—from intimate backyard soirees to massive, glamorous ballroom weddings. But there’s something about these 5 Montauk Wedding Venues that hit different.
Maybe it’s the salty ocean breeze, the pastel sunsets, or that dreamy, laid-back-yet-luxurious vibe. Whatever it is, Montauk weddings bring the magic!
So let’s get started on these 5 Montauk Wedding Venues that absolutely rule! And who better would know than this agency owner of NYC DJs.
1. Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa
Luxury meets oceanfront perfection
Okay, let’s start with the heavy hitter—Gurney’s Montauk. If you’ve heard of Montauk, chances are you’ve heard of this resort. And let me tell you, it lives up to the hype and then some.
I’ve DJ’d weddings here where guests were literally dancing with their shoes off, toes in the sand, moonlight overhead, and not a single person wanted to leave. It’s got that elevated beach vibe that feels both elegant and easygoing. Gurney’s isn’t just a venue—it’s a full-on experience.
What I love as a DJ:
You can have your ceremony right on the private beach—yes, real ocean waves as your background music.
The decked-out indoor event space has built-in uplighting, perfect for creating that “wow” moment during your first dance.
Staff is super professional and knows how to work with vendors (a big deal for us DJs!).
Bonus tip:
If you’re planning a destination wedding, your guests can stay right on-site. No one has to worry about driving after partying hard to your epic playlist.
2. The Surf Lodge
Cool, boho vibes and unforgettable sunsets.
The Surf Lodge is where chill meets chic. It’s artsy. It’s coastal. It’s the kind of place where you half expect a celebrity to walk through the door—and sometimes they do.
One wedding I played there had a barefoot bride, a signature drink called “The Coastal Crush,” and a saxophonist jamming alongside my DJ set. It was spontaneous and electric—just like the venue itself.
Why it rules:
The waterside deck is chef’s kiss for ceremonies and cocktail hour.
Killer golden hour views for photos (trust me, photographers LOVE this place).
It’s intimate, stylish, and just off-the-beaten-path enough to feel like your own little world.
Sound note:
We DJs need to be mindful of noise ordinances here, so check with your planner to plan for quiet hours or wrap the party with a silent disco (yes, I’ve done one here—it was lit).
3. Montauk Yacht Club
Upscale nautical with a splash of tradition
Now we’re getting classy. The Montauk Yacht Club is the venue for couples who want timeless charm with a waterfront twist. I’ve worked weddings here that had black-tie dress codes and others that leaned more coastal-preppy. It’s versatile like that.
This venue is super spacious, which is a plus if you’re planning for a big guest list or a live band-DJ combo (one of my faves to collaborate with).
What stands out:
Multiple ceremony and reception spots: marina lawn, grand ballroom, or the sandy beach.
Gorgeous boats and docks as your backdrop—total nautical romance.
On-site accommodations for guests, which means more time for fun and less time coordinating rides.
Pro DJ tip:
The ballroom has great acoustics, so the music carries beautifully. Whether I’m spinning a deep house cocktail set or full-blown wedding classics, the sound feels rich and balanced.
Sweeping views and classic elegance
Don’t let the “golf course” setting fool you—360° East is stunning. You’re getting panoramic views of Montauk’s natural beauty, and once the sun starts to dip? Pure magic.
I remember this one couple who choreographed their first dance to a mashup of Frank Sinatra and Bad Bunny (iconic, right?), and the view behind them looked like a painting. Even grandma was on her feet by the end of the night.
Why it’s a fave:
The elevated location offers incredible sunset photo ops.
There’s a real balance between indoor sophistication and outdoor wow-factor.
It’s managed by the Lessing’s group, so the service is always top-tier.
DJ setup insights:
Load-in is smooth (very important when I’m lugging gear in heels), and the reception space gives me room to set up lighting without tripping over tables. Win-win.
5. Ruschmeyer’s
Eclectic, fun, and low-key fabulous
If your vibe is more camp-chic-meets-dance-party-in-the-woods, Ruschmeyer’s is the hidden gem you need to check out.
This spot is like a summer camp for grown-ups—with twinkle lights, communal picnic tables, and a retro-cool energy that’s impossible not to love. I DJ’d a wedding here where the bride wore a jumpsuit and roller skates for the afterparty. Enough said.
Venue highlights:
Outdoor ceremonies under the trees feel totally enchanted.
The “Magic Garden” is perfect for mingling, drinking, and impromptu dance battles.
It’s quirky, creative, and has so much character.
Dancing under the stars?
Yes, please. Just bring a backup plan for inclement weather (tents work great), and maybe a pair of comfy kicks because the grass dance floor can get wild—and muddy!
Final Thoughts From the Booth
Montauk is one of those rare places that offers something for everyone. Whether you want toes-in-the-sand or a ballroom bash, there’s a venue here that will speak to your soul—and your Pinterest board.
As a DJ who’s seen a lot over the years, I can tell you this:
The right venue sets the tone.
The right music makes the night.
And when both of those things come together? It’s magic.
