Not much to share, but I went to one at Raphael Vineyard and not only was it gorgeous but the food was incredible. I've been to a lot of vineyards on the North Fork and this is definitely one that seems the most wedding like.

I went to one at Martha Clara and it wasn't bad, but it was arranged kinda strange.Not something I would want...
The ceremony was by the bar. After the ceremony, we were escorted into the main room, but dancing was in the other room where the ceremony/bar is. It was buffet and the buffet was set up maybe 6 feet from the last row of tables. The food was awesome though.

Re: wine wedding
I priced some out, and other than Martha Clara, they are VERY expensive. Most site fees for the summer were 10-15K , and that doesn't include anything. You have to set up rentals of linen, cups, forks, etc, a caterer, and some places you had to buy a certain # of cases of their wine. It ended up being way too rich for my blood, but if you'd like info from the ones I contacted, just FM me!

Re: wine wedding
the other option is Vineyard Caterers (now known as The Vineyards). Its a working vineyard that exclusevly caters events- this way you don't have to rent out things like tables, chairs, linens, etc.

Re: wine wedding
It ends up being very expensive. Numerous wineries can do weddings. Raphael is the best set up for one but is very expensive. Martha Clara is a bit cheaper and they do have a few options. But with any of them there are a lot of rules. You have to bring EVERYTHING in, sometimes even port-o-potties, and dumpsters! There may be noise restrictions or time limits too. If it's a very big wedding, you might need to use a tent. After looking into a few places we decided to go with Vineyard Caterers. They do make their own wine, but they are really a hall. Everything is right there set up just how you need it. And they have been nothing but wonderful to work with.
