Inside or out, a wedding at the Peconic Bay Yacht Club is a romantic affair. The manicured grounds and great lawn overlooking the Peconic Bay are ideal for your picturesque ceremony or tented reception. The building offers a variety of venues to accommodate your party’s style and guest list.

We were married at PBYC last month, and wish we could relive the entire day 100 times over. John and Hillary are truly the best in the business — they are incredibly kind, professional, organized and paid close attention to every single detail, both big and small, throughout the entire planning process and especially on the day of. Our wedding guests are still saying that it was the best wedding they have ever been to - from the location and breathtaking view of the Peconic Bay, to the excellent food, to the impeccable service and every detail in between, John, Hillary, and their team truly helped to make all of our wedding dreams come true. Thank you for going above and beyond, and for making our day completely stress free. We could not recommend PBYC more — the North Fork is very close to our hearts, and we can’t imagine having been married anywhere else but overlooking the Peconic Bay at PBYC.

My husband and I booked this venue before all of the renovations were completed, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Our wedding was truly a dream come true. The venue was absolutely breathtaking, and the coastal wedding vibe we envisioned came to life perfectly. From the very beginning, the entire team was wonderful to work with, especially Mirian. She made the planning process incredibly organized, seamless, and stress-free. Mirian ensured that every detail was considered and went above and beyond to help us create our dream wedding. She coordinated with our vendors, accommodated our requests, and worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and for making our special day possible. The food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about it! The short rib was phenomenal, and the mashed potato station was a huge hit. From cocktail hour to dinner and dessert, every option was delicious and beautifully presented. We received countless compliments on the food and overall experience. The venue was also extremely accommodating, particularly when it came to dietary needs, which meant a lot to us and our guests. A special thank you to both Mirian and Joe for their dedication and genuine care throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue or team to help us celebrate one of the most important days of our lives. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning location, exceptional service, and an unforgettable wedding experience.

I attended Camp JORI for many years as a camper, staff member, administrator, and volunteer. Camp JORI is such an amazing camp, helping with scholarships for families that can’t afford it while providing the same amazing experience for all children. Camp JORI is not only an amazing camp, but is truly a home away from home for me and many other alumni and current campers. I love Camp JORI so much that my wife and I decided to have our wedding there! It was the most magical day of our life and getting to spend it at Camp JORI’s beautiful property was not only heartwarming, but amazing to marry the person I love most at the place that feels the most like home to me.

I can’t even put into words how special my wedding was thanks to The Lake House (but I’m going to try lol). I found this location on Zola and when I contacted the owner, Paul, it was like speaking to an old friend even though we had never met before. He is so sincere and thoughtful and has the best tips and tricks for wedding planning. I never hired a wedding planner and I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning of my planning process but Paul was there every step of the way for me. He answered all my emails filled with dumb questions and he advised me in the best way. Carole, my wedding coordinator at the venue, was an absolute gem as well and made things so easy. My wedding was 11/16/24 (the last wedding of their season!) and I still have guests telling me how fantastic everything was. Especially the FOOD. I truly dream about the filet mignon and tiramisu we had about twice a week lol. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. I would have my next birthday party here just so I can see Paul and Carole again and eat more of the delicious food lol. The location is GORGEOUS and they truly made my wedding the best night of my entire life.
