From a first look under the Wisteria Breezeway to dinner and dancing in the barn, every part of the day flows naturally across the property.

Why Choose the North Fork for Your Wedding?
The North Fork of Long Island offers a quieter, more refined alternative to traditional wedding destinations. Surrounded by vineyards, farms, and open landscapes, it creates a setting that feels both relaxed and elevated. It is less crowded than the Hamptons and perfectly suited for a full wedding weekend.
The natural beauty of the North Fork means less is needed in terms of décor, allowing the setting itself to define the atmosphere. For couples looking for a wedding that feels personal, scenic, and effortless, the North Fork has become one of the most sought-after destinations in New York.
A Full Wedding Day at Jedediah Hawkins Inn
One of the advantages of hosting your wedding at Jedediah Hawkins Inn is the ability to create a seamless experience across multiple spaces.
The day begins with getting ready in the Belvedere Suite and guest rooms, offering a calm and private setting for the wedding party. A first look often takes place under the Wisteria Breezeway, one of the most iconic and photographed locations on the property.
Ceremonies are typically held outdoors on the lawn overlooking the surrounding farmland, where there is plenty of open space and dogs are welcome at exclusive weddings. Cocktail hour follows on the patio with passed hors d’oeuvres and signature cocktails, often personalized—many couples even name their signature drinks after their dogs.
The reception then moves into the barn for dinner and dancing, where rustic character meets an elevated, refined feel. For those who want to continue the celebration, the speakeasy offers a more intimate late-night setting. The experience often concludes the following morning with a relaxed brunch in the Solarium or restaurant.
This full-property flow is what makes weddings here feel private, effortless, and memorable.
Wedding Spaces on the Property
The property offers a range of distinct spaces that come together to create a cohesive wedding experience.
The barn is a beautifully restored structure with exposed beams and warm textures, designed for both dining and dancing. The lawn provides an open-air ceremony setting surrounded by North Fork farmland and vineyard views. The Wisteria Breezeway serves as a defining feature of the property and a natural focal point for ceremony entrances and photography.
The Solarium and speakeasy offer additional settings for rehearsal dinners, smaller gatherings, or post-wedding celebrations, allowing each part of the weekend to have its own atmosphere.
A Food-Driven Wedding Experience
At Jedediah Hawkins Inn, the dining experience is central to the celebration. Menus are thoughtfully designed using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, creating a wedding meal that feels both elevated and personal.
From cocktail hour to plated dinners and late-night additions, each element is tailored to reflect the couple while maintaining a consistent level of quality and presentation. Many couples say the food is one of the most memorable parts of their wedding, and it plays a key role in defining the overall experience.
A Full Wedding Weekend Experience
Weddings at the inn naturally extend beyond a single day. With on-site accommodations and close proximity to vineyards, beaches, and farms, couples often create a full weekend for their guests.
Close family and friends can stay on the property, while additional gatherings such as rehearsal dinners and farewell brunches take place in different spaces throughout the estate. Guests can explore nearby wineries, farm stands, and coastal areas, making the wedding feel like a destination experience without leaving Long Island.
