Travel Note

House Rentals

While the above hotels are reserved for our wedding, we also recommend our favorite vacation go-to - Airbnb! We use it exclusively when traveling together, and we love the opportunity to connect with locals. Search for Riverhead, Aquebogue, or other nearby towns on the North Fork - wherever strikes your fancy! Should you wish to rent at an established bed & breakfast, our venue has a number of suggestions. Reach out to Elena for details.

Flight

Long Island MacArthur Airport

MacArthur Airport (may show up as "Islip" on your airline website) is the closest airport to our venue; approximately 40 minutes away by car. JFK and LaGuardia are also viable options and may offer lower prices; about 1.5 hours to the venue by car.

Train

Riverhead LIRR

There IS an LIRR to Riverhead, which is only a 10 minute Uber ride to the venue. However, it only runs twice a day on Sundays! The closest, most convenient station is Ronkonkoma, which is a 35 minute drive away. For these reasons, we strongly recommend driving if at all possible. Don't you love the LIRR?

Travel Note

Take a Boat!

New Englanders! By far the most pleasant way to travel to LI is to drive to New London, CT and take the Cross Sound Ferry. You'll cross the Long Island Sound in an hour and twenty minutes and disembark in Orient Point - the end of Long Island's North Fork, and 35 minutes from our venue. Copy and paste the following URL: https://www.longislandferry.com/ Alternatively, you can drive to Bridgeport, CT and and ride another ferry to Port Jefferson, NY - a lovely waterfront town, and 45 minutes from our venue.
