Northfork is just a dream. The staff, the venue itself, the barn, the horses... absolutely a dream. We fell in love with Northfork the moment we pulled in to have our first visit. Pete is so wonderful to work with. Even before the pandemic, he was very helpful and responsive to any questions or concerns. And then add a pandemic with trying to plan back-up dates, figure out what to do, when to pull the trigger, etc, he was so patient and easy to work. Peggy is an absolute delight and pleasure to work with. She truly turns your vision into your dream day. I couldn’t have done it without her. This venue is just beautiful and perfect.

Best Wedding Ever
I could not have asked for a better venue or staff. Hand down I would do it again! Stress free fun day thanks to Peggy, Pete and Laurie! I want to have another wedding just to be back on the grounds!

So happy with our amazing wedding day!
Northfork was the first venue we looked at one week after we were engaged and we fell in love instantly. We knew this was the place we were getting married!
We booked the last wedding of their season on November 3rd and as the months started passing I got nervous about the weather. Each time I emailed Pete and Laurie, they would ease my mind. They were extremely responsive via email. We also went back to walk around the grounds with various venders before the wedding and Pete would always come out and make sure any questions were answered. I also rented their daughter Carly’s new salon space and she was just as friendly and responsive too. My favorite part about this venue is that it is owned by a family and it really feels like weddings are their passion, not just a business they run. I felt they went above and beyond to make sure my day went smoothly.
Peggy, their wedding planner, was also incredible. She met with me numerous times and also was happy to answer any questions along the way. She is a STEAL! Book her if you choose this venue! John, the bartender was also wonderful. I really can’t say enough great things about this place!
