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 choose it over and over again if I could, Jennifer is truly what makes it an exceptional wedding venue.

My husband and I had a very small wedding with just 20 guests, and finding a venue that not only fit our vision but also embraced the intimacy of our day felt nearly impossible, until we found Meadowlark North Fork. From the very first conversation with Lauren and Jennifer, I knew this was the place. Even before touring the venue, they made me feel completely at ease. They were kind, responsive, supportive, and most importantly genuine. Throughout the entire planning process, they were an incredible blessing to us. They went above and beyond, helping us with vendor recommendations, reviewing contracts, and always offering honest, thoughtful advice. All while making planning FUN. I truly felt like they had our best interest at heart every step of the way. That kind of support is invaluable during what can be a very stressful time.Even though our wedding was very small, they treated it with so much care and importance. It never felt like “less than” in their eyes. That meant the world to us.As for the venue itself, it’s absolutely stunning. The wine bar and the perch are beautifully designed with a simple yet elegant aesthetic, and the surrounding grounds are serene and timeless. It was everything I dreamed of. In the end, while the space is breathtaking, it was Jennifer and Lauren who made our decision so easy. They are the reason we chose Meadowlark, and we are forever grateful. If you're considering this venue, do it. We can’t recommend it enough. Thank you for EVERYTHING Lauren & Jennifer! <3

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.

I just wanted to drop a short note of thanks and share a recommendation after our great experience with our daughter’s recent wedding at Meadowlark Winery. The setting was spectacular, with beautiful well-kept gardens and surrounding vineyards, and the facilities were great. Our experience was made particularly enjoyable by the hard work and dedication of Lauren and Jennifer, the managers and wedding coordinators at Meadowlark. Their professionalism, expertise and easy manner ensured that what could have been a stressful time was as an extremely pleasant and easy experience. They were very organized, planned everything to the smallest detail, coordinated outside vendors, accommodated all of our special requests, and they were fun to work with. They communicated with all parties and vendors very well and gave us great recommendations and suggestions. They dealt with setting everything up, managing the whole affair and after-party, and they even helped out with some unexpected weather issues. They made my daughter’s day extra special and a real joy for all of us. I highly recommend Meadowlark and, in particular, Lauren and Jennifer. Without their help, the day would not have gone as smoothly and trouble free. Thanks again to you all. -Bill

From the moment we first visited Meadowlark North Fork, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—offering the rustic charm of a winery, the elegance of modern design, and the whimsical feel of a garden all in one. It’s truly a dream setting.
What made our experience unforgettable, however, were the amazing venue coordinators, Lauren and Jennifer. From the very beginning, they were by our side, helping us plan every single detail of our wedding over the past year. They truly listened to us, what mattered most, what we envisioned, what reflected us as a couple, and then worked with us to bring it all to life.
And when it rained on our big day (yes, it rained on our outdoor wedding), it honestly didn’t make a bit of difference. Lauren and Jennifer had brainstormed a rain plan (months before, just in case) that still allowed us to have our original vision. They handled everything the day of with such grace that our day felt just as magical and perfect as we had ever imagined. The atmosphere was intimate, beautiful, and full of joy, rain and all.
We are so grateful to the Meadowlark team for helping us create a wedding that was not only seamless and beautiful but also deeply personal. If you're looking for a venue that blends natural beauty with expert guidance and heartfelt care, Meadowlark North Fork is everything and more.

The first time my husband and I visited Meadowlark we knew instantly that this was where we wanted to get married. The gardens are truly breathtaking, the wine is delicious, and the space offers a classy, modern and serene feel. The moment we met Lauren we also knew instantly that we wanted her help with our wedding planning. We cannot rave enough about the amazing on-site event coordinators, Lauren and Jennifer! They always had excellent communication, offered great recommendations, helped resolve any problems, and continually had a positive attitude. These women are truly so dedicated and hardworking, we could not have asked for better!
One of our favorite parts of Meadowlark was the ceremony garden. On the day of our wedding it was raining at the planned ceremony time however, Lauren/Jennifer were very flexible and willing to change plans last minute in order to help us have our dream garden ceremony. They helped to facilitate a reverse cocktail hour so that we may wait for the rain to pass. Amazingly, the rain subsided and some glimmers of sunlight came through just in time for us to have our ceremony in the garden.
My husband and I had the most magical day and it would not have been possible without the amazing team at Meadowlark. We are forever grateful and cannot thank them enough!!! Meadowlark will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

This charming winery and wine bar is set inside a beautifully modern yet minimalistic house. During the summer, they offer inviting outdoor seating by the lawn, creating the perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. Their seasonal wine flight, served creatively in lab-style test tubes, is both unique and enjoyable--a fun twist on the traditional experience. I highly recommend stopping by for a flight and taking some time to unwind in this lovely setting.

Peconic Community School hosted a recent fundraising event at Meadowlark and it was ideal from start to finish. They are incredibly professional to work with, assist with whatever is needed, and are kind, thoughtful and supportive as well. They clearly care about the community and their clients. The space is elevated and classy, a perfect venue for a cocktail party and more. Also the wine was so good and reasonably priced for the high quality! We can't wait to work with them again!
Meadowlark North Fork is a stunning venue—modern, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, making it a perfect place for gatherings or special events. The team made everything smooth and welcoming. You can feel the attention to detail and care that goes into the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to host something memorable on the North Fork.

I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating my 40th birthday with my twin sister at Meadowlark North Fork, and it was nothing short of exceptional! We hosted our private event in “The Perch,” and I can’t say enough about how stunning the space was and how wonderful the staff and service were from start to finish.
The ambiance of “The Perch” is something truly special. The view from inside—looking out over the field—was simply breathtaking. Inside, the upstairs felt a mix of elegant and rustic , while the downstairs added a cozy charm with lounge seating and a room lined with wine barrels that made for the most beautiful backdrop.
A huge thanks to Jennifer and Lauren from the Hospitality and Events team for being so incredibly accommodating and making this unforgettable opportunity possible. Their warmth and support throughout the planning process truly made all the difference.
From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. I’m already dreaming about returning in the summertime and to host another celebration there.
Meadowlark is beyond a five-star venue—it’s a must visit and a true gem on the North Fork!
Mikaela Bonocore
Truly cannot recommend Meadowlark for your next event enough! Not only is the property so beautiful and unique, but Lauren and her team were incredible. She is a true pro in the event coordinating business, and helped make our day seamless despite last minute rain in the forecast. My husband and I knew our day would be special, but it was beyond anything we could have imagined with the help of the team at Meadowlark🤍

Look no further - Meadowlark is the best wedding venue on the North Fork, hands down. We stumbled into the newly renovated venue last summer (2023) for a wine tasting, and I immediately fell in love with the aesthetic and vibe of the venue. Everything at the venue is so thoughtfully done, from the landscaping and gardens, to the modern rustic event spaces of the tasting room, perch, and cellar. When I thought of the aesthetic of our wedding, Meadowlark basically had it down. Conveniently, Lauren, the amazing and super cool venue manager, was on site that day and was able to give us a tour on the spot. We immediately connected with her and knew that it was the right venue (and right person) - we pretty much booked it right then and there. Lauren is so organized and has this "no BS" attitude while still bringing a sense of humor, warmth, kindness, and confidence to every situation that makes you feel totally taken care of in her hands. The night before our wedding, our planner ended up getting delayed due to weather, so Lauren took it into her own hands and ran our entire ceremony rehearsal. We had the most beautiful wedding day and couldn't have done it without Lauren and her team. We are endlessly grateful for their support and will be coming back in the years to come to share a glass of wine with people we now think of as friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times over! xox Claire & Declan
