We had our wedding at The Cottage at East Wind. My husband and I can not say enough about this place that would be good enough to express how happy we were (and still are) with everything! From planning the ceremony and the reception to the actual day, everything ran smoothly. They were extremely helpful and professional. They made sure we were well taken care of and happy through out the whole year long process. We have guests that are still telling us it was the greatest wedding they have ever been to!!! We highly recommend East Wind to everyone we know!

East Wind truly helped to make our day absolute perfection. From day 1 of planning to breakfast the morning after, East Wind does it just right. They have professional and skilled employees that are truly experts at what they do. It was seamless and enjoyable to plan our wedding day! We had over 300 guests and all of them could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was, how great the food and service was and how absolutely breathtaking the grounds were. Our ceremony looked like it came out of a movie and the ballroom was transformed into the wedding of our dreams. Working with Michele Testa and the rest of the wedding teams at East Wind was a true joy and I cannot recommend this venue enough!! They are experts at events and know how to make your day perfect!!!

“We pride ourselves on, at the end of the day having surpassed all of your wedding day dreams. The friendship of the ones we serve is the foundation of our future success.”

Tell us about some of the wedding packages you offer?

Our packages range from Black Tie formal sit down dinners to casual 'cocktail party' and buffet packages. We are always able to accommodate and to customize any type of menu.

What makes your location unique and special?

Our location is at the gateway to the North Fork of Long Island and we are set on 25 private & landscaped acres. In addition to catering we also offer luxurious hotel accommodations,a decadent 10,000 square foot full service Spa & hair Salon and fine dining in Desmond's Restaurant & Lounge. With a North Fork Bridal on site and The Shoppes at East Wind just steps away, you and your guest can take advantage to all of these amenities. When you come to East Wind you get the feeling of a true destination wedding rather than just going to a traditional catering hall.

Tell us why you decided to go into the wedding industry.

After owning & operating a restaurant for 18 years, catering seemed to be a natural transition. From there came a love of working with Couples and helping to create their 'fantasy wedding'.

Tell us about some of the most unique events you've hosted?

We have done some outrageous 'platinum weddings' to elegant intimate weddings. All of them are unique in their own way. Some of our couples have brought in specialty lighting technicians and have completely transformed our ballrooms.

How far in advance should a couple start looking for and book their catering hall?

Times have changed. It used to be that couples would book their wedding almost 2 years out, sometimes more. Lately,a lot of short term weddings have been booked (about 6 months out). But in order to get the date that you absolutely want, we recommend at least a year to a year and a half out.

How can you help couples 'customize' their special event?

At East Wind, we offer a complimentary Wedding Planner to help assist them in any way they need. Once the wedding is booked the next step is to help get them started booking their vendors. At that point is when we also discuss different ways to enhance their wedding. We have relationships with various vendors all with their own talents, from custom linens, to specialty music and lighting & entertainment.

East Wind is the only true Wedding Destination on Long Island, with the finest cuisine and unsurpassed service, we are dedicated to make this special day become a memory that will be etched in your hearts forever. So why not spend a day you will always remember in a place that you will never forget.
