Meadowlark North Fork by Macari Vineyards

From the very first time we stepped into Meadowlark, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The grounds are absolutely stunning, from the ceremony space to the Perch, the indoor/outdoor winery feel, and the reception area. Everything is so beautifully designed and seamlessly set up, with gorgeous florals already throughout the property.

And then we met Jenn, and everything fell perfectly into place. Her realism and honesty, sarcasm and kindness fit us perfectly. I came in with thousands of ideas and probably a little bit of chaos, and she always made me feel more centered, confident, and organized. She was incredibly present and available whenever we needed her, and never once made us feel rushed or like any question or detail was too much.

Jenn guided us in all the right directions, helped us find vendors that matched our vision and vibe, kept us on track and within budget, and somehow took everything we pictured and made it even better. She made the entire planning process feel manageable and, most importantly, made us feel completely taken care of.

Our wedding day was absolutely flawless. There truly wasn’t one thing that went wrong or that we forgot, and that is a testament to Jenn and the entire Meadowlark team. We are so incredibly grateful for the experience, for all the time and care they put into our wedding, and for the friendships we made along the way.

We could not have imagined a more perfect place or better people to bring our wedding to life. Meadowlark and Jenn will always hold such a special place in our hearts.

Meadowlark North Fork was perfect for our wedding. We could not be happier with how beautifully it all came together. Every little detail worked out perfectly. Jennifer and the team were a joy to work with! We had so much fun and had no stress the whole night because we knew everything was taken care of. We got such positive feedback from everyone who attended. Would certainly recommend!

My husband and I got married at Meadowlark 10/24/26. When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to avoid the typical “catering hall” wedding and searched for something more unique. We toured venues on NJ, upstate, and out east. We had actually verbally committed to another venue in the same area not hours before we had a chance to see Meadowlark, but we figured we’d keep our tour anyway since we were out there.

We arrived and were given a warm welcome, two glasses of wine, and a tour of the grounds. We were given genuine advice applicable for any venue we would have partnered with, not just them. We never felt sold to or rushed - we felt as if they were truly happy to have us there and genuinely wanted to be part of the most special time our lives.

One of the biggest unknowns with a venue where you have to bring in everything yourself is the cost. The venue we had verbally committed to never really told us what to expect all-in cost-wise, only that they had done “really cheap weddings, like $100k (which, in what world is that really cheap???) to million dollar weddings;” at the time we found this a bit tone-deaf though not a deal breaker. What sold us on Meadowlark was when, at the end of the tour, we were sat down and told honestly, “look, weddings are expensive, and while you can have one with any budget, we want to give you a realistic idea of what to expect all in” and provided us with several different cost estimates based on guest count, vendors, etc. That transparency in the wedding industry these days is rare, and it’s what drove us to lock in a date with Meadowlark right then and there.

We opted to work with Jenn as the in-house wedding planner. She connected us with a network of wonderful vendors on the North Fork and ensured we had considered every little detail. She stayed in constant touch with us, answered questions no matter how big or small, and dedicated her time and energy to help us bring our vision to life. The day would not have been as sensational without her.

Our experience with Jenn and the Meadowlark team was so great that we even decided to have our rehearsal dinner at Macari Vineyards, the parent vineyard to Meadowlark. Myself, my husband, and our entire bridal party were treated like family, and we could not be more grateful for the wonderful experience we all got to share.

Our wedding was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Everyone always says that something will go wrong the day of your wedding, but I can honestly say everything ran flawlessly, and that’s thanks to Jenn and her team. They payed attention to every little detail, constantly checked in, and diligently worked to ensure the vision we had been crafting over the year and a half prior became a reality. Jenn even went as far as to meet with us at the venue the Thursday prior to unload decore and start setting up, and also stop by the Airbnb the morning of the wedding to pick up decor I had forgotten to bring. Genuinely just a class act, and showed that she was not just a planner, but a partner through this all.

Everyone deserves to feel like royalty not just on their wedding day but leading up to it as well, and Jenn and the team ensured that’s exactly how we were treated. We will be forever grateful for Jenn and the Meadowlark/Macari family, and we are so excited for future Meadowlark brides and grooms that get to have the same experience we did.

Meadowlark North Fork is absolute perfection! Choosing them for our wedding was hands down the best decision we could have made.
The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful, and all of our guests were completely amazed by the stunning setting. But what truly sets Meadowlark apart is Jen and her white-glove service. Jen goes above and beyond in every possible way, making sure you are genuinely seen and heard. She even helped us find local vendors that fit our budget and vibe perfectly.
If you want a venue where you are treated like family and every detail is managed with absolute care, choose Meadowlark North Fork. Thank you, Jen and team, for giving us a day we will cherish forever

Meadowlark is such a beautiful venue and we had the most AMAZING time and process for our wedding. Jennifer helped us in planning and was so easy to work with, extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the industry and the area. She has so many great partners and recommendations I would recommend meadowlark and utilizing Jenn to anyone. The day went SO smooth and was perfect in every way, all our guests loved the venue just as much as we did. It can tally up on cost, but everything was 100% worth it

My husband and I threw our 10 year anniversary party at Meadowlark and it couldn't have been better!  Jennifer, the planner at Meadowlark, was wonderful to work with and made the entire planning and day of experience as easy as possible.  She helped coordinate with the caterer, rental and tent companies and knew exactly what tent and rentals work for the property.  We had 150 guests, including 60 children and the venue was perfect.  Not only was it gorgeous, but it had enough space for a giant tent / lawn furniture and the kids to dance, run around and play lawn games.  Was the perfect venue for our celebration!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to host our wedding reception at Meadowlark this fall. A little older than the average newlyweds, and with extremely busy careers, we made the absolute best choice and have zero regrets. As wine lovers who live in NY, we thought a winery on Long Island would be close enough to home and most inclusive of our close friends and family.

I knew I didn't want to host a reception at a stuffy catering hall that churns out cookie cutter weddings like a factory. Meadowlark is unique in every way-- gorgeous and classy, and there's even a wine cellar for the after party. Literally every corner of the property is perfect for wedding photos. We visited on July 4th and had the best time and were immediately sold. No other winery on LI comes close. Take my word for it, because I've visited them all.

Location and aesthetics aside, Jennifer was outstanding in every way. We didn't hire a planner or day of coordinator and she filled both roles seamlessly. Over the past six or so months, Jennifer got to know us personally and brought all of my random Pinterest posts to life while sparing me the need to make a ton of minute decisions. From the serpentine table layout, linens, catering choices and coordination of vendors, she was meticulous and it showed. The trust my husband and I have for her was invaluable to us, especially considering our busy lives. Jennifer's vendor recommendations were also spot on. No exaggeration, every vendor who's worked with Meadowlark raved about Jennifer as if they'd known her their whole lives.

The day of was perfect. Nothing was overlooked or felt stressful; we fully trusted Jennifer's coordination and management of everything and she really delivered. While Meadowlark is a stunning property and I'd chose it over and over again if I could, Jennifer is truly what makes it an exceptional wedding venue. 10000/10, no notes!

I highly recommend Meadowlark for your next wedding or event. My husband and I could not have asked for a more perfect day to share our love. Not only are the grounds stunning and the wine amazing, the team goes above and beyond. Lauren and Jennifer are more than just coordinators. They truly helped bring our vision to life and took all our stress away throughout the planning process and day of. I felt confident from day one that we chose the right place for our wedding knowing we had Jennifer and Lauren because their attention to detail and ability to handle any hiccups along the way. Creating a special moment in life requires special people to coordinate the event.

Meadowlark was the most perfect venue for our wedding! The vineyard is gorgeous, but what really made the experience amazing was Meadowlark’s planners, Jennifer and Lauren. A vineyard wedding can be intimidating, but these ladies were so knowledgeable about what we needed, had amazing contacts and vendor suggestions, were always quick to respond, but most importantly, were beyond fun to work with. The planning process felt easy and stress-free thanks to their organization, and our wedding day ran flawlessly because of them. We couldn’t recommend Meadowlark—and Jennifer and Lauren—more highly! I would do anything to go back to that beautiful day! 

Our wedding was somehow even better than anything we could have ever dreamed of. The way Lauren and Jennifer at Meadowlark executed our vision is something we are incredibly thankful for. It was so great having them throughout every step of the planning process. They kept the day organized and ensured that everything ran smoothly. We truly could not be happier to have worked with such amazing people and feel so lucky to have had our wedding at the Meadowlark.
