The Halston
Modern restaurant venue in Melville, Long Island, offering exclusive-use weddings with on-site ceremonies
The Halston is a contemporary restaurant on Broadhollow Road in Melville, on the Route 110 corridor of Long Island. For weddings the whole venue is given over to a single celebration, with ceremony, cocktails and dinner all taking place under one roof.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
GLW recommends The Halston to couples who want a stylish, restaurant-led wedding that feels like a private party. Only one wedding runs at a time, so you have the space to yourselves. A dedicated event planner works with you on every stage, from the layout to the menu, which makes it simple to plan a day that reflects the two of you rather than a standard template.
Ceremonies
Ceremonies are held on site, either indoors or on the outdoor space. Outdoor ceremonies suit smaller groups, so if you have a big guest list, the indoor rooms are the better fit. Several spots around the building are set up for photos, which saves time moving between locations once the vows are done.
Receptions and food
The kitchen blends Asian and American flavors with a classic French influence, and wedding menus are available from the events team. Drinks are handled in-house, with signature cocktails and wines chosen by the sommelier. The main dining room, with its glass-fronted wine display, can be booked in full for larger weddings, and there are smaller private rooms, such as the Atrium, Monet and Nouvelle rooms, that work well for a rehearsal dinner or an intimate celebration. A built-in audio and video system covers speeches and music, and amplified music is played indoors.
Getting there and the area
Melville sits in western Suffolk County, close to the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway, so it is a straightforward drive from New York City and the rest of Long Island. Huntington and Farmingdale have the nearest Long Island Rail Road stations, both a short taxi ride away. There are several hotels along Route 110 for guests staying overnight, and the village of Huntington, with its theaters, bars and restaurants, is close for a pre-wedding dinner or next-day brunch.
