Inquire About Your DateGreat Neck and its neighbors sit right at the city line, on the peninsulas and bays of the North Shore just past Little Neck. Northern Boulevard and the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington line tie them to Manhattan, so city guests have about the shortest trip anywhere on the Island. The big rooms here have hosted wedding traditions from all over the world for decades.
Our dedicated New York team brings over twelve years of experience in the region's rooms and a band of seven to eleven, all live. Gabby and Eddie emcee, and most venues in this corner of Nassau carry no out-of-town travel fee.

Planning a wedding in Great Neck
Two families, two playlists
When a wedding brings two family traditions together, the night usually needs both kinds of music. Each side can add its songs to the Music Form, and we build one set list that moves between them, so the dance floor belongs to everyone.
Rooms on more than one level
Some of the larger venues here spread across several floors. Ask how the band's equipment reaches your room and whether it can skip the stairs, then pass the answer to us. Our sound engineer comes two hours early either way.
Guests who stay in the village
The Inn at Great Neck is a short walk from the station and from Great Neck's shops and restaurants, which makes it a handy base for out-of-town guests. Put its details on your wedding website alongside the train times.

"THE BEST EVER. Not only are Gabby and Eddie so easy to work with, they are extremely talented and fun. It has been two weeks since our wedding and guests are still contacting us about the band. They did not stop playing once, and the dance floor was more crowded than any other wedding, all thanks to their energy, talent, and perfect song choices."
