Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa

Gurney’s sits right on the ocean in Montauk, and it can host a wedding of several hundred guests and put many of them up on site. The resort has 158 rooms, suites and beachfront cottages.

The setting

There are five spaces to choose from. The Spa Deck overlooks the ocean and takes up to 420 for a banquet or 500 for cocktails. The Great Hall is built for large ceremonies and receptions, with 225 at banquet rounds. The Top Deck sits above the Atlantic, holds 170 for dinner and is tented to stretch the outdoor season. The Beach Club seats 200 on the beach itself. The Dune Lounge, at up to 130, is listed for cocktail hours, rehearsal dinners and farewell brunches.

Who it suits

Couples planning 150 to 400 guests who want an ocean backdrop, on-site rooms and one team for food and drink. It also offers micro weddings and elopements. Couples who want a private estate feel should know that Gurney’s is a working resort, so other guests will be on the property.

Good to know

• Menus are created with the resort’s dining teams around local and seasonal produce.
• The site does not say whether ceremonies can be held on the sand itself, so ask when you inquire.
• Inquiries go through the resort’s wedding request form.
