Jedediah Hawkins Inn

The staff at Jedediah Hawkins Inn were absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding planning and wedding day!! Special thanks to Eugenia, Lia, and Ilias for all their hard work in helping to put together our dream wedding, and to Erin for her role as personal assistant the day of; I don’t know what I would have done without her! The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and it was a magical day I’ll never forget! Thank you Jedediah Hawkins and we’ll see you again on our anniversary!

From the moment we arrived at the inn we were catered to in such thoughtful and kind ways. Eugenia and Kelly were above and beyond helpful. And my 90 year old mom and 93 year old step dad raved about Eugenia’s attention to details. Colin’s food was spoken about throughout the day as nothing short of spectacular. The inn staff at the cocktail reception and in the barn were very professional and courteous. However, you don’t get a superior experience if it doesn’t start and trickle down from the top. Lia and Ilias have created in absolutely first class experience that will last in our minds for years to come. We’ll see you for our first anniversary!!!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We couldn’t have picked a better place for our reception than Jedediah Hawkins Inn. The grounds and venue are stunning, full of character, and gave our guests such a memorable experience. The food was outstanding—beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious, with so many of our guests commenting on how much they enjoyed it.

A huge thank you to Ilias, our event coordinator, whose professionalism and attention to detail made everything run seamlessly. And to Erin, our bridal attendant, who was wonderful—always one step ahead and made sure we were comfortable and cared for throughout the day.

Jedediah Hawkins Inn is a truly special place, and the staff went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable.

If you are considering Jedediah Hawkins for your wedding, here are the 5 things I’d most like to share about our experience there.
1. Nothing went wrong. As soon as we were greeted by Ilias, who manages the entire operation, we knew he will not allow anything to go wrong. At that point my stress dissolved, and I began to really enjoy the happiest day of my life.
2. The food: appetizers, entrees and desserts, was consistently excellent and abundant.
3. The venue is gorgeous, rain or shine. The staff deal with weather issues instantly if things change. I have personal, happy experience with this.
4. The staff is friendly, professional and trained to please the guests as well as the wedding party.
5. In addition to sending thank you notes, I receive them from family and friends who had the time of their lives.
We had the luxury of an outstanding wedding planner, a wonderful string quartet, and a gorgeous wedding cake. Yet had we not been able to afford those luxuries, our day at Hawkins would have been the grandest day of our lives. That is due to the people who manage and staff this lovely venue.
On the day of our wedding the weather wasn’t optimal, but rain wasn’t a sure thing. Ilias patiently waited while we watched the JHI staff, musicians and florist setup our outdoor garden wedding. About half an hour before the scheduled start, Ilias determined that we were moving indoors. Then, it started to pour. Nobody batted an eyelash. The Hawkins team converted the beautiful reception “Barn” into a lovely wedding chapel. Ilias and a small army of servers with umbrellas led us through the wisteria covered pathway to the Barn. After the ceremony, we enjoyed the cocktail hour in the historic restaurant/inn while the staff restored the Barn for dinner and dancing.
When we went for a tasting to select the food that would be served, the chef prepared full entrees and appetizers so we would know exactly what would be served, how it would taste and how it would be presented. We were served each of the available first course appetizers that our guests would choose from. On our wedding day, my husband and I had all these things served at our table.
The cocktail hour includes both hot appetizers served by staff constantly moving through your crowd of guests and a wonderful Tuscan cold appetizer table. When I spent a selfish amount of time listening to the string quartet we brought in, my bridal attendant Kelly (provided by JHI to shadow me in case I needed anything) noticed it and appeared with a platter of hot appetizers just for my new husband and me. Kelly also perfectly arranged my fresh flowers on our wedding cake, coordinated the presentation of a birthday cake we brought for our flower girl’s fifth birthday and made sure that our guests had boxes to take home desserts from the huge dessert table of cookies and pastries. Kelly was a great example of the Hawkins staff knowing how to pre-empt any chance of something going wrong. She was always with me to connect a need with a service.
The many Hawkins staff devoted to our wedding did small and incredibly large things to make everyone comfortable, satisfied and happy. ALL of our guests raved about them. Yours will too.

My husband and I stumbled upon Jedediah Hawkins Inn years ago by mere chance since it was off the main road. It is still a hidden gem. As we drove by, we were in awe by the breathtaking Victorian Manor that sat behind the vintage gates. We've been going there for brunch and dinner every summer (because their Farm to Table food is AMAZING) when we go out east on Long Island to visit the vineyards. Once engaged, it clicked that this is where we should have our wedding especially for a more intimate affair (60-Person). We did look at other options like wineries and event spaces in the area, but it is unmatched by JHI's value, quality, and possibilities.


JHI continued to impress and overdelivered on our expectations once we booked with them (granted we snatched the remaining June 2025 date and only had 4 months to prepare). They were open and responsive with our questions and vision. Our guests are STILL raving about how beautiful the property was, the exceptional food, and AMAZING service their team delivered. From start to finish, the attention to detail and intimate touch the staff provided was exactly what made our event so magical for everyone. We were told the entire wait staff felt like family at the end of the night.


Other highlights: Lia, the owner I presume, is so sweet and we can tell she really cares for the property. Ilias who is in charge of operations and the restaurant is absolutely accommodating, on point, and was a pleasure to work with. Kelly, our event coordinator is awesome! She had every detail under control so that I was able to enjoy the evening.

If this location is your vibe… Rustic chic, vintage, elegant

If you're planning an intimate event with a smaller crowd

If you need high touch service by staff that takes care of every single person

If your priority to your guests is elevated dining experience & drinks


We highly recommend Jedediah Hawkins Inn. Even if you do not have an event here, I suggest coming for a meal, sitting on their patio or drinks, or explore the speakeasy. You will experience its charm the way we do.

- Our wedding at Jedediah Hawkins Inn was nothing short of magical. The grounds are breathtaking and the staff are wonderful. Elias went above and beyond to help us design menus for the cocktail hour and dinner, and the food was absolutely delicious—our guests were blown away. People said it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had; shoutout to the grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters and corn chowder. Staff members like Eugenia made sure that everyone felt cared for throughout the entire day. They even boxed up special meals for members of the wedding party who were too preoccupied to eat dinner. The bridal suite was a highlight —eclectic and totally unique. Everything about the venue exceeded our expectations and made our wedding truly unforgettable.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Jedediah Hawkins on 9/7/24. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day or perfect venue. Everyone at Jedediah was extremely helpful, responsive, and accommodating from day one. We knew we wanted to get married on the North Fork and JH didn’t feel like a cookie cutter venue and exemplifies the beauty of the area. Some of our guests stayed at the Inn with us the night of the wedding and we had a delicious brunch the following morning. We can’t say enough about the phenomenal food, every course from cocktail hour to dessert was excellent. Everyone on staff helped us plan and execute a special and memorable day!

My husband and I had our wedding at Jedediah Hawkins Inn on 9/22/23. From the moment we booked this venue, everything went so smoothly. Lia is the sweetest and easiest person to work with. Her staff really went above and beyond on our wedding day. It was the most perfect, stress free, and magical day and we owe a huge thanks to Lia and the staff at Jedediah for that. My guests are still raving about the food and the location. If you are looking for your perfect East End wedding - look no further!!!

Where do I even begin? We knew we had to get married at this beautiful place from the moment we found it (such a hidden gem)! There’s just something so magical about it! The owner, Lia, was amazing to work with! She is such a kind, family-oriented, flexible person and she truly made sure every detail was perfect from our rehearsal dinner in the speakeasy, to our ceremony and reception outside and in the barn. The entire team at Jedediah Hawkins Inn are truly exceptional! I always heard that wedding planning was going to be stressful, but Lia and her team made it all so easy and smooth. We had the best day of our lives, thanks to Lia and her amazing team. We are so excited to go back and celebrate anniversaries/birthdays/etc. here in the future! Our guests can’t stop telling us that it was the best wedding they’ve been to, and of course, the BEST food!!! The food was seasonal, fresh, and absolutely delicious!! Thank you so much to the entire Jedediah Hawkins Inn team! You made our wedding an actual dream come true!
