The word club in this venue's name does not mean what it means at a country club up the island. Ocean Colony sits at 2004 Montauk Highway in Amagansett, takes online room bookings from anybody, and states no membership requirement anywhere on its own site. It has also renamed itself Ocean Colony Beach Resort, while The Knot, WeddingWire and Cvent still list the older club name. The only price on record is an $8,000 starting figure on The Knot. The resort publishes nothing.
One number exists for this venue and it came from The Knot. The resort's own site sells rooms and beach access and says nothing at all about weddings costing anything. Because capacity tops out around 100 on the only source that gives one, the size question is worth settling before the price question.
We read the resort's own site and its listings on The Knot, WeddingWire and Cvent, on 10 September 2026. Checked September 2026. First party means the venue’s own site or rate card; marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
The property has renamed itself Ocean Colony Beach Resort while listings still carry the club name, and the only price on record is a single marketplace starting figure with no stated basis.
Long Island is full of beach clubs and yacht clubs that are really catering halls, and a smaller number that are genuinely private and will not take your booking. Ocean Colony is a third thing: a public beachfront resort hotel that happens to have inherited a club name.
There is no membership page. There is no sponsorship language. There is an online reservation system that anyone can use, and a wedding pitch aimed at the general public. If the name made you assume you needed a connection to enquire, you do not.
On its own site the property now reads Ocean Colony Beach Resort. Marketplace listings, and most venue databases including the one this page started from, still say Ocean Colony Beach and Tennis Club. Same property, two names in circulation.
The data around this one is loose in other ways too. Its own domain carries a page title referring to Montauk while the street address is Amagansett, which is a few miles and one very different town. Read any third party listing for this venue with that in mind.
The Knot lists $8,000 as the venue starting price and separately estimates that couples typically spend $20,000 here. Both are marketplace figures. Neither is broken out into a rental fee, a package or a per person rate, and neither appears on the resort's own site.
That is the whole financial record. No per person price, no food and beverage minimum, no service charge, no administrative fee, no deposit schedule. Every one of those has to come out of a phone call to 631-267-3130.
When a venue publishes one number and no structure, the number tells you almost nothing. Ask what the $8,000 buys. Ask how many hours it covers and what the food costs on top of it.
The Knot puts capacity at 51 to 100 guests. The resort itself publishes no figure at all. If your list runs well past 100, the published record says this is not your venue, and one phone call will settle that faster than a tour.
Because the property runs as a working hotel with other guests in residence, exclusivity is not automatic. Nothing published says one wedding at a time. If you want the pool deck and the beach frontage to yourselves on a Saturday in August, that has to be negotiated and priced, and no buyout terms are published.
No founding year. No architect. No building history. The resort's own site is silent, and so is every listing we read. For a Hamptons beachfront property that is unusual, and it means any history a planner tells you on a tour cannot be checked against a public source.
What is published is the accommodation. There are studios, one bedroom units, one bedroom units with a loft, two bedroom units and cottages. There is a heated pool, tennis and pickleball, dressing rooms for the wedding party, and the team arranges add on excursions such as sailing and fishing trips.
There is also no published end time, which matters on an East Hampton beachfront. Town noise rules exist regardless of what a venue publishes, so ask what time amplified music has to stop and how strictly that has been enforced here.
Amagansett sits between East Hampton and Montauk, roughly a hundred miles from Manhattan, and a beachfront property out there is a different weekend from a catering hall off the Expressway. Guests treat it as a trip rather than an evening. That is the appeal, and it is also the budget problem, because anyone without a room on site is finding a bed in the Hamptons in season.
The capacity band decides the rest. At 51 to 100 guests, on the only source that gives a figure, this is a small wedding by Long Island standards. Small does not mean cheap here. The Knot's $20,000 typical spend sits well above its own $8,000 starting price, which suggests most of the money lands somewhere other than the venue fee.
So push on what the fee contains. How many hours does it buy. Is the beach frontage exclusive during the ceremony. What does the food cost per head, and who cooks it.
Ask as well what the other hotel guests are doing while you marry. A public beach in East Hampton town stays public, and a resort with rooms sold to strangers stays sold. Neither is a problem if you know about it in March. Both are a problem if you find out in August, standing on sand you assumed had been closed for the afternoon.
