Iconic Long Island Wedding Venues I Love
Long Island and NYC offer some of the most breathtaking wedding backdrops on the East Coast.
Some of my favorite Long island and NYC wedding venues include:
- Oheka Castle – Huntington, NY. Oheka Castle is one of the most iconic wedding venues on Long Island—and for good reason. This historic French château-style estate offers sweeping gardens, a dramatic grand staircase, and opulent ballrooms that transport you straight into a European fairytale. It’s the perfect setting for the bride who wants a timeless, regal aesthetic with all the drama of a Vogue editorial. The castle’s architecture and manicured grounds create an elevated, cinematic backdrop for bridal portraits, first looks, and luxe ceremonies. If you want to look like royalty in every frame, Oheka delivers.
- The Foundry – Long Island City, NY. Nestled in the heart of Long Island City, The Foundry is a hidden gem that offers both edge and elegance. Think ivy-covered brick walls, soaring ceilings, metal beams, and rooftop views of Manhattan—this venue is where fashion-forward brides come to make a statement. The versatility of the space allows for creative freedom, while its raw textures and soft lighting bring depth and artistry to every photo. From editorial couple’s portraits to candlelit receptions, The Foundry is for the bride who loves structure, story, and bold city energy.
- The Mansion at Oyster Bay – Woodbury, NY. The Mansion at Oyster Bay blends Gilded Age charm with modern amenities, offering a refined setting for a sophisticated celebration. With its marble floors, spiral staircase, chandeliers, and antique fireplaces, the venue feels like stepping into a fashion editorial from a bygone era. The grounds are lush and perfectly manicured, ideal for garden ceremonies or golden hour portraits. If you love timeless elegance with intimate appeal, this mansion delivers luxury without pretension—perfect for curated detail shots and soft, romantic storytelling.
- The Vineyards at Aquebogue – North Fork, NY. For couples who want the elegance of a vineyard wedding with a refined, stylish edge, The Vineyards at Aquebogue offers the best of both worlds. Located in the heart of Long Island’s wine country, this venue provides dreamy rows of vines, rustic architecture, and golden light that flatters every frame. The ambiance is both relaxed and elevated, making it ideal for barefoot-in-heels brides who want luxury with a natural twist. Sunset portraits in the vineyard? Champagne toasts under string lights? It’s effortlessly chic—and the editorial possibilities are endless.
