Brecknock Hall

aving to vet a million companies. She keeps everything organized and made sure our wedding day was absolutely seamless. Literally not one thing went wrong (or if it did then Valerie took care of it). I loved being able to get ready in the upstairs with my bridal party and the grounds offer so many gorgeous picture opportunities that you never have to leave. The house is gorgeous and the DIY opportunity the venue offers really allowed us to create a wedding day that reflected us. I would highly highly reccomend Brecknock to anyone.

door. The building itself is grand, with huge windows, elegant mirrors, and fireplaces with mantles. Valerie, the on-site coordinator is extremely helpful through the planning process - and responds to emails within minutes (not exaggerating!) Very helpful with my type-A planning style. We chose vendors from her preferred list, everyone was outstanding. Only one wedding per weekend, so we dropped our things off the Friday before our Saturday night wedding and picked everything up at our leisure Sunday afternoon. Valerie is so flexible - we were able to decide if we wanted an indoor or outdoor cocktail hour on the day of the wedding based on the weather. The bridal suites are beautiful, everything is very clean, and there is so much space for a big bridal party. Our photographer knew the grounds well, so we were able to take pictures with all different backgrounds (the mansion itself, a vintage greenhouse, and the grounds - there is also an option to go to the water). I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an elegant east-end wedding. Thank you again to Valerie and her team :)

. Her preferred vendors all brilliantly executed their respective tasks and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. Valerie worked with us over the course of the year and we feel that we have gained a friend in the process. He knowledge of the area and professionalism are unmatched. It is a beautiful venue, with both natural and historic qualities that make it the perfect place for a uniquely picturesque North Fork wedding. We wholeheartedly would recommend Brecknock Hall to any couple in search of the ideal wedding venue.

friends were in awe of the space. Also Valerie and her team made sure everything ran smoothly and according to plan leading up to and on our day. Thanks!!

at times, but everything came together so perfectly (including Mother Nature), and neither me nor my husband had to worry about a thing. We were able to make our wedding completely our own, and unlike other traditional catering halls. The opportunities are endless!

contractors while ensuring the 200 guests were happy and where they needed to be when they needed to be there. She truly excelled at making every effort to guarantee a spectacular experience for the Bride and Groom. She made sure every little detail was attended too. The Hall and surrounding grounds are just beautiful. We had the reception out on the front lawn then went into the Hall for the cocktail reception and then on the tented rear patio for the remainder of the evening. It was a very unforgettable experience for our 200 guests.

. We both also appreciated having the site and upstairs suites available all day, which made the preparation pleasant and easy and allowed a good chance to spend time with the wedding party. Valerie and her team were so great to deal with — we can't thank them enough. We were planning the wedding from overseas, and they made sure that everything went smoothly and was stress-free. They were there to help with every decision and also made sure everything was arranged and running on time. I can't imagine what it would have been like without them there.

assurance and friendliness. We had he best wedding ever!

. Having a bridal/groom suite in the house to get ready was also a huge plus. You get the space for the whole weekend so you can take your time bringing in all your decorations and setting up. Valerie was very easy to work with and really made everything go smoothly the day of. We could not have asked for a more picture perfect wedding.

am wedding. Yes, it's more DIY than a traditional catering hall venue, but the results are truly spectacular as the setting (Brecknock Hall and the surrounding landscape) is so spectacular, and truly unique and special. Here's what you need to know if this is your type of wedding: 1) Valerie, the event coordinator, is top notch - a true professional - and has relationships with many of the vendors out east, which you will find extremely helpful. We used her as our day-of coordinator and were blown away by her organization, attention to detail, and general wonderful personality. You want someone as can-do and "on it" as her working with you on your wedding day. I can honestly say that everything went smoothly and the result was perfect (and if things went wrong behind the scenes, I was none the wiser - she took care of it). She also held my hand through over a 15 month planning process and was extremely responsive to my emails - both important and minor details - the entire time. 2) The approved vendor list is awesome, and we had great experiences (they are vetted by Valerie). You are in good hands here - a nice variety of both vendors and price ranges. You will be able to find a combination of vendors to fit most budgets. 3) Our guests have since told us that this was the best wedding they've ever been to. It provides a truly stunning canvas for you to create the wedding of your dreams.

tent on the back patio, the entire wedding was everything we could have ever dreamed of. Valerie who is the event coordinator of Brecknock was with us every minute of our day and evening and made certain that my wedding was a wonderful celebration and a joyful experience. Most importantly I never needed to be concerned with the smallest details as Valerie was there(behind the scenes) to see to it that the day was as seamless and smooth as possible, coordinating all my vendors and working hand in hand with each and every one. She had also provided me with a long list of choices for vendors for all my needs from caterers, photographers, to florists and makeup artists. I highly recommend Brecknock Hall as a premier wedding event space set on the east end of Long Island. It offers views of the LI sound as well as well as all the beautiful gardens surrounding the manor house. I am certain that any bride and groom would be feel the way we did when we shared this special day with our friends and family. Susan and Gary

wanted to get married. My entire experience with Brecknock could not have been better. Jen Ackroyd was incredibly helpful and responsive to all my questions and needs. She was encouraging, knowledgeable, and was a big help during the rehearsal and on the day of. We couldn't have done it without her and I'm so glad we had such a competent and lovely person to oversee what was going on! The venue itself is completely gorgeous! We did not use a tent, but had about 87 guests and had the dinner inside. Dancing took place in the main hall. The cocktail hour took place on the front lawn across the driveway from where the ceremony took place. A few things we loved about this space was the fact that we had it for 2 days, so we were able to set up and get it decorated without having to rush or stress. We were also able to get ready in the beautiful suites they have upstairs for the wedding party. The property is so beautiful that we didn't have to over-decorate, a few simple touches went a long way and we let the building speak for itself. A really important thing to me was to get pictures by the water. Even though Brecknock is not overlooking the water, we were able to take a golf cart and some cars down to the beach for pictures. It all worked out really well and we still made it back in time to enjoy part of the cocktail hour. So many of our guests raved about how beautiful Brecknock was and what a lovely time they had. We truly felt like we had our dream wedding. I am so thankful we found Brecknock and I truly believe it will be THE destination to get married on the North Fork in a very short time. There wasn't one other venue we looked at that offered as much for the value. I highly recommend this place!!
