Set on 26 lush acres on Long Island’s North Fork, East Wind Long Island is an award winning catering facility with the choice of three distinct venues offering incomparable service and exquisite cuisine unlike any other. We can accommodate guest of any size ranging from 0 – 300+. For your “one wedding at a time” experience, enjoy a romantic, intimate garden setting at the quaint, beautifully renovated Cottage, nestled in an English garden or experience luxurious elegance at the Estate, where the space is exclusively yours for the day. For a stately soiree, (perhaps even black tie?) then you will want the Grand Ballroom and all the breathtaking options it offers. And, let’s not forget the lovely indoor and outdoor ceremony locations. East Wind Long Island is truly a destination. With a full service luxury hotel, conveniently located in beautiful Wading River, it is easily accessible from anywhere, while also just a short jaunt to Long Island’s wine country on the North Fork and the swanky beaches of The Hampton’s just a bit to the south. It’s the perfect “home base” for exploring the East End, if you can pull yourself away from the fabulous amenities on site. In addition to a 10,000 square foot full-service salon and spa, offering everything from bridal hair and make-up to massages and facials, Desmond’s Restaurant is just right for your rehearsal dinner and morning after breakfast buffet. North Fork Bridal Shoppes, with their wide selection of bridal attire, can be found right off our West Entrance. And be sure to plan a visit to the Shoppes, for an impressive array of retailers, high-end jewelry, a florist and artisan food and gift shoppes, and Ruggero’s, our family style Italian restaurant, fitting for a rehearsal dinner with a grand carousel right outside the front door, a perfect romantic photo backdrop. East Wind Long Island has perfected the art of exceeding your expectations. We cater to all cultural, ethnic and LGBT wedding clients with many inclusive package options.
