    Our Wedding

    Our wedding, which was in October of 23', from start to finish was incredible! Jennifer was an amazing coordinator who answered any and all of my questions! She was incredible to work with and very knowledgable in guiding us throughout the whole process. Our ceremony was supposed to be outside, however weather did not permit this to happen so we had our ceremony in the space downstairs which was all done up and just as gorgeous as the outside ceremony space! We were in the Veranda room which was absolutely stunning! Our guests are still raving about the space and delicious food! There are not enough good things I can say about this incredible spot! The all inclusive package made everything so worth it and gave us plenty of options! We are so thankful to all the staff at East Wind for our incredible time there! We want to relive it over and over again!

    Wonderful experience

    We wed at the Vineyard at East Wind in October and we had the picture perfect wedding day. The grounds are immaculately groomed and the landscaping is breathtaking. From the moment you enter the vineyard, you'll know you made the right choice. The food is excellent as the staff so attentive, professional and caring. My guests still haven't stopped talking about our wedding and quite a few of them have stated that is where they would like their wedding to be. A hug shoutout to Jennifer M., Joe C., Joey Bowtie and Barbara - they are the ones who brought us through step one till the end without a hitch! I really hope to be a guest at a wedding there soon!

    amazing night

    Wedding review
    Rehearsal dinner
    Had my rehearsal dinner at Ruggeros. It was amazing. From the food to the drinks to Alyssa the manager making sure everything was taken care of. The servers were all on point. We had the private room in the back, which was so nice, and my guests were able to go right outside if they needed to. The chef even went out of his way to make my grandma a plain piece of salmon because she can’t eat much or have any seasoning. 10/10 would recommend Ruggeros to anyone looking for a rehearsal dinner.
    Estate at east wind
    Had my wedding the day before Easter. East Wind was on point and didn’t miss a beat for anything. My Maître d tony, was amazing. We didn’t do a rehearsal, but tony made sure everyone knew what they were doing and when they were doing it. I didn’t have to worry about a thing knowing he was handling the event. The cocktail hour was amazing, my guests keep raving about the different stations, the extravagant set up of every station all the way down to the small details. The Chef really out did himself with the food. It was an insane amount of food. I’ve been to other weddings and haven’t seen this much food being served at cocktail ours. My bridal attendant was Mary Lou and she was better than I could expect. My mom was very nervous about bustling my dress and Mary Lou handled it so well. I never had an empty hand. She even had bud lights waiting for us after our ceremony. She calmed us down, made sure we had a minute to ourselves before we met our guests. I can’t thank her enough for how amazing she was. The rest of the staff was on point from what my family and friends have told me. Every table had only good things to share about the service they received. The bartenders were making good drinks and even played along with our “signature drink” which was icing our bridal party. Guests continue to tell us how amazing of a wedding this was, and I can’t stop praising east wind and the job they did. 10/10 would recommend and I can’t wait to be a guest at my friend and cousins weddings at East wind that are coming up this year.
    Carousel bake shop
    Carousel did my groomsmen cake, as well as my wedding cake. I gave the baker m idea for the groom’s men cake, and she took It and ran. It was a Jets jersey, and it came out so realistic. My husband loved it and didn’t even want to cut into it. Just wanted to keep looking at it. For my wedding cake I let the baker use her creativity and do whatever she wanted. This was the best idea I could have had. She brought out the most amazing, and delicious cake I could never have dreamed of. I highly recommend carousel bake shop to anyone looking for any type of cake. 10/10

    Front desk
    Being that we had the rehearsal dinner here, most of my guests stayed both Friday and Saturday night. The Hotel manager, Luisa was on point. I have a bit of a momzilla, and Luisa was able to calm her down and help her organize all the front desk bags for check in. She also made sure all of my guests’ rooms were near one another and that my room and the grooms room weren’t near each other. She was super helpful and you can’t beat the rates we got. The next day we attended Easter brunch and it was phenomenal.

    Wonderful Staff!

    We had the most beautiful wedding at East Wind in March 2022 and everything was wonderful. Jennifer Mclaughlin was our wedding coordinator and helped us get everything in place in a very short timeframe and was amazing! She was professional, kind, helpful, responsive, and courteous! She is an asset to your business! We could not have done this without her! Our maître d, Joe, was spectacular and the staff was attentive and took care of guests wonderfully. We had so many compliments on how great the staff was. It was a professional and smooth event! Thank you!

    East Wind Long Island's reply:

    Hi Claudia;
    We love to hear back from our couples and appreciate your wonderful comments. We will certainly share them with our staff. Wishing you many years for wedding bliss! Thank you for choosing East Wind to celebrate your wedding day.

    Amazing Wedding

    The East Wind is amazing! I got married at the Estate and it could not have been better. The room was beautiful. Our Sunday wedding with our package deal was remarkable and our guests cannot stop talking about it! East wind gave us a great deal and worked with us through the pandemic. My sales rep Jennifer was a pleasure to work with in preparation for the event. Then our Maitre D, Tony, was great keeping our event running smoothly. Our bridal attendant, Mary Lou was OUTSTANDING. She catered to us all night. We even ended up going to Desmond’s in the Inn for three hours after the wedding and when everyone was tired they had the ability to go to the room block which was super convenient. Overall, I am so happy we chose to get married there!!

    East Wind Long Island's reply:

    Hi Samantha;
    We can't be more excited to hear what an "amazing" time you had. We will certainly pass your comments on to our entire staff. Wishing you many years of happiness! Thank you for choosing East Wind.

    Blown Away!

    We had our wedding at The Estate at East Wind on 11/27/21 and could not have been more impressed about every single aspect of this venue! From making a seamless and stress free transition from our original date due to covid, to being communicative and helpful in any questions we had in the process, and knocking us out with how impressed we were on the day of with the food, organization, and beautiful setup! Jennifer was our sales associate/manager/coordinator through the whole process and she was absolutely great, kind, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

    Tony was our Matir'd the day of and he was so nice, accommodating, and did everything he could to make sure the day went on without a problem. He was present the entire night and truly made our experience wonderful. Not to mention he was so personable. Mary Lou was our bridal attendant and I couldn't say more amazing things about her!! She was so sweet, present, and did everything she possibly could to make sure we were taken care of that night, well fed, and doing ok! She truly worked so hard! All of the waitstaff was very nice, professional, and offered fantastic service.

    The Estate is absolutely stunning and we were blown away with the beauty and transition of our indoor ceremony to the reception room. Our guests didn't even know it was the same room! The cocktail hour was also unbelievably impressive with the amount of food, and the quality! The food at the reception was also phenomenal and we appreciated everyone basically getting their food around the same time, quickly, and hot! The bartenders and drinks were also phenomenal!

    We made the absolute best decision in choosing this venue and would not change a thing if we could do it all over again!

    First venue to tour & we booked!

    I have to admit, East Wind was not my first choice when I started to think about my wedding venue. But, we decided to tour East Wind first because it is the closest to our home. We ended up loving everything about it and Penny was amazing. Looking at your first venue is overwhelming because you don't even know what you're in for but Penny seriously made it effortless. I'm glad to say we left feeling like we didn't need to look elsewhere. This is only phase one and I can't wait to continue working with Penny & everyone at East Wind.

    You can not go wrong with this location. The grounds are beautiful for photos, the staff attentive, the food INCREDIBLE (no need to order a cake from another vendor - there's was NO "WEDDING cake"....it was much better).

    Beautiful venue with incredible package deal!

    I looked at about 20 different venues throughout the course of 2 months (only had FH come to about 3 for initial visit and then the 3 that I narrowed it down to). We are so excited for our wedding at East Wind in their Veranda room in October 2020! The space is beautiful and they offer a great package which includes several reputable vendors so that we don't have to spend a ton extra on each service! Jennifer in Banquet Sales has been a pleasure to work with and very helpful with my many questions before, during, and since booking! They also host several wedding expos each year to make it easier to meet vendors & make appointments without having to make tons of phone calls and store visits. This is extremely helpful since I'm doing all the planning myself (with input from FH of course) to avoid the additional cost of a planner.

    Our amazing wedding day thanks to east wind

    My hubby and I had our reception at the Estate at East Wind Long Island on Saturday November 16th, 2019. We cannot say enough great things about our wedding day. From the very beginning when we initially booked them (they were our first and last stop when we went wedding venue shopping..never even had to go anywhere else), the entire journey of planning and then to the big finale, everyone and everything was top notch. Michele Testa was our wedding organizer for East Wind and she was amazing. Helping us stay grounded and ensuring that our day was going to be everything we wanted and more. Our Maitre'd Tony and bridal attendant Mary Lou were phenomenal. Alex and I did nothing but ENJOY ourselves the entire weekend. The entire staff was so attentive, professional, and truly made us and our guests feel right at home. If I could do our wedding day all over again there is not one thing I would change. The East Wind gave us the best experience any bride and groom could ask for and we are forever grateful.

    Could not have had a better perfect day

    East Wind was everything I could have imagined for my special day. Their staff was super professional and catered to my every need. Jennifer was amazing she guided me through all my uncertainties and made sure that I felt secure and happy in every decision that we needed to make. I was beyond happy with our maitre d. The waitstaff provided excellent service and the bartender was on point. It was a my dream fairytale... my only wish is to have a do-over to experience it all over again.

    Absolutely Amazing

    Let me start by stating that I never write reviews. After having my wedding this past Saturday at East Wind, I felt I needed everyone to know my experience. One word. AMAZING. Michele Testa was our wedding coordinator and she was always there and always responsive to our emails and calls, even when she wasn't in the office. We were assigned Luis as our Maitre D' and he was absolutely incredible. He was so organized and waited on me hand and foot. I was introduced to my bridal attendant the day of the wedding (I sadly forget her name) but she was there holding the train to my dress and getting my husband and I drinks and food the whole time. Her and Luis even packed some food for us later that night to keep in our hotel room. The food was INCREDIBLE. My husband and I plan on renewing our vows down the road and will 100% book with this venue again. I recommend this venue to everyone and anyone. Literally the best day of my life thanks to everyone at East Wind.

    Truly amazing


    I couldn't have asked for a better experience from the moment I sat down with Tia (my wedding planner) until the very end of the event there wasn't a moment that wasnt amazing. The food was amazing the venue was gorgeous. The whole day was something my husband and I will never forget. East Wind truly exceeded all of our expectations.

    Awesome! Penny F. Was our Banquet manager. She was timely with all her responses and helpful right up until the last few days before the wedding. She help to a ert a major problem between us and ADA. All was resolved amicably. Thanks to Penny the owner of East Wind and the owner of ADA.
    We were assigned Tony as Maitre'D. We had everything boxed and labeled and he set up everything exactly as we discussed. He watched the weather and made the right call for us to be outside. The guests raved about the grounds and the food. This wedding was a fairy tale that became a reality. It couldn't have happened anywhere but East Wind. They know how to make a bride feel special.
