About Van Cortlandt Golf Lake House

The Lake House at Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course sets the stage for a very special occasion with a lake front view and one of the most historic Event Venues in New York. If you are looking for your next event location, you don’t have to look any further. Whether your event is an intimate cocktail reception or a formal affair, we will make sure that our space exceeds your expectations. The Lake House is located in the North West corner of the Bronx, only several short miles from the border with Westchester County. The Lake House is so named because of its proximity to Van Cortlandt Lake. It has a 2,500+ sq. ft. outdoor deck with lovely views of the lake. Of course both the Lake House and the lake are located in Van Cortlandt Park.

Magical - Everything We Dreamed Of! - An Eventective User from Bronx, NY

I literally cannot say enough good things about Van Cortlandt Golf Lake House. Our experience here was truly magical and more than we could have ever dreamed of. We had our wedding reception here recently and we were blessed with amazing, warm weather that day. Our guests could not stop gushing about how beautiful the fall foliage, the ducks/geese, and the lake itself looked. That is part of the magic of this event space -- having the covered outdoor deck allows you to truly appreciate the natural beauty of the surrounding nature. In addition, the tent has these wonderful string lights that add to a romantic and joyful ambiance. We chose minimal centerpieces and decorations - books, candles, and potted flowers - but I think the space can look great no matter what someone's personal style is. The second greatest thing about this site is definitely the special events coordinator, Althea. She was absolutely wonderful in helping us navigate the process. She was very friendly, accommodating, and supportive before, during, and even after the reception itself. She's truly an expert coordinator and I am so grateful that we were able to work with her because of how above and beyond she went. (Thank you so much, Althea!!!) Everything was perfect -- the food was delicious (especially the cheese tortellini), parking was easily available, the venue is wheelchair accessible, and for our 80-person wedding, it definitely did not feel cramped at all. Lastly, it did not break the bank while still being a lovely, memorable experience.
