Host Unforgettable Private Events at Calissa Hamptons
If you’re planning a private event in the Hamptons, there’s one name that rises above the rest: Calissa. Nestled in the heart of Water Mill, Calissa is a sun-drenched Mediterranean haven known for its vibrant ambiance, exquisite cuisine, and world-class service. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, hosting a rehearsal dinner, or organizing a corporate gathering, Calissa offers the ultimate setting for unforgettable moments.
Why Calissa Stands Out for Private Events
Private events at Calissa are anything but ordinary. From the moment your guests arrive, they’re greeted with elegant coastal décor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The space blends effortless Greek island charm with Hamptons luxury, offering multiple configurations to suit your vision. Whether you’re planning a seated dinner under the stars or a high-energy cocktail reception with a DJ, Calissa’s experienced team will work with you to bring it all to life.
With the ability to host events for 10 to 300 guests, Calissa is one of the most versatile venues in the Hamptons. The restaurant’s multiple event spaces include a lush outdoor terrace, private dining room, and full-venue buyout options. Each area can be customized with lighting, décor, and layout to create a one-of-a-kind experience.
Mediterranean Cuisine with a Modern Twist
At the heart of every Calissa event is the food. The restaurant is known for its elevated take on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, featuring locally sourced seafood, seasonal produce, and house-made specialties. Guests rave about the lobster pasta, salt-baked fish, and signature mezze platters — perfect for sharing and sparking conversation.
Menus can be tailored for your event, whether it’s a formal seated dinner, buffet, or passed hors d'oeuvres. Dietary restrictions? No problem. Calissa’s culinary team is happy to accommodate vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly options.
An Award-Winning Wine List
No celebration is complete without a great glass of wine — and Calissa’s list has received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for a reason. The restaurant’s wine program emphasizes Greek and Mediterranean producers, including rare and hard-to-find selections. Whether you’re looking for large-format bottles for a toast or perfect pairings for a multi-course dinner, Calissa’s sommeliers are on hand to help you curate a list your guests will love.
