Wedding Entertainment at Water's Edge

Bespoke DJs, bilingual MCs and live musicians for the modern Art Deco waterfront venue in Centerport.

Centerport, NY Waterfront Art Deco ballroom Curating since 2008

The Venue

An Art Deco ballroom on the water deserves a night that shimmers

Rebuilt from the ground up on the site of the 1920 Thatched Cottage, Water’s Edge is a one-wedding-at-a-time venue on Centerport’s Mill Pond in a modern, Gatsby-inspired Art Deco style — a white marble lobby with a crystal chandelier that opens straight into the Summerwind Ballroom, with its custom globe chandeliers, inlay dance floor, bars at both ends and windows on the water; the Pondview Room with its own balcony; the Willow Room walking out to the garden; a stone patio and pergola for waterfront ceremonies; and top-floor bridal and groom suites.

Genesis Events has curated entertainment for luxury Long Island weddings since 2008, and the photographs on this page are our own setups in the Summerwind Ballroom. A room this polished rewards production that matches it: a white draped stage with monogram screens under the globe chandeliers, ceremony sound that carries lightly across the patio, cocktail music in the Willow Room and garden, and a lighting design that plays across the inlay floor from the first dance to the last song.

04.25.2026 we had our wedding at Bayview. Unico did an absolute amazing job. He exceeded my expectations in so many different ways. I had very precise instructions on how I wanted dinner to go (rnb sing a long style) and instead of delivering just that, he had everyone up dancing to the rnb play list. When I tell you, I was in complete shock at how someone can read the room so perfectly. He truly is one of a kind. Thank you for putting him on for my wedding. He will be highly requested for any event moving forward.

Genesis took our wedding to the absolute next level - they managed music throughout the night, ranging from a string quartet at ceremony to a jazz trio at cocktail hour to percussion / DJ (Raz) / MC at reception. Damian and Angelina at Genesis totally understood our lofty assignment of a tri-cultural wedding with Persian, Indian, American music. They gave extra prep to the ethnic musics ahead of time, reviewing our song lists and listening/prepping sets. Angelina helped us design our custom DJ booth to match the room. Huge thanks to Damian for bringing our wedding to life. We got so much positive feedback from guests and the dance floor was packed the entire night!

We had an incredible experience with Genesis Events from start to finish. They were the preferred vendor for our venue, and I can see why! We initially met with Dario who gave us our proposal and all the information we needed to make a decision. The meeting with him was so thorough! Throughout the planning, Angelina (name twins!!) was our contact, and she was great! She helped finalize all the little details during our final meeting (which was great because I am so indecisive) and came up with such a pretty design for our Photo Booth! The night of the wedding was amazing. Fabio was our MC and DJ Raz was our DJ. They were both fantastic! Fabio was fun and kept the energy up for all of our guests. He did a great job getting everyone up and dancing for the Tarantella! Before the guests came into the reception room, he quickly went over all the details with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The music provided by DJ Raz was great! We danced so much, our dance floor was never empty, right through to the final song of the night. He played all of our "must haves" and quite a few of our "inspo" list, and some that I didn't even think of but were perfect for our crowd of guests! Truly a wonderful experience with Genesis Events, thank you so much!!

Genesis events did such an amazing job on our wedding on 8/24/23!! Damian, the dj, and the violinist were all so awesome and we've gotten a ton of compliments from guests telling us it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding, and genesis events was definitely a huge part of that. I was so nervous beforehand and asked a million questions, all of which were answered promptly and Damian was so awesome at putting my mind at ease. Thank you so much!!!

What entertainment costs at Water's Edge

Entertainment for a Water’s Edge wedding is quoted to your celebration, not sold off a shelf. A professional wedding DJ is the foundation, and many couples build from there with a bilingual MC, live cocktail-hour musicians, ceremony sound and custom lighting design.

Because every element is optional, the most useful next step is a tailored quote. Tell us your date, guest count and the moments that matter most.
