Our Wedding

In what can only be described as a whirlwind romance, Maggie and Mike first met at a birthday party for some ginger in May of 2013 at one of NYC's finest establishments, the Whiskey Brooklyn. Maggie was immediately impressed by Mike's killer dance moves (a patented stomp/clap maneuver which "kills it with the ladies"). Mike couldn't help take note of Maggie's smile and took interest in her even though she wasn't quite on the market yet. Their paths would cross multiple times over the next year before their first official date in August 2014 at the Brickyard bar in Hell's Kitchen. They quickly bonded over their mutual love for the New York Yankees, their families, college sports, Sunday night HBO, and a good night cap.That first date would lead to adventures which would take them from the jungles of Mexico and the bleachers of Super Bowl 50 to the very comfortable chaise lounges of Margaritaville. There would be plenty of laughs, country concerts, wine classes, North Fork Jitney rides, Jet Blue FL trips, and Eli Manning interceptions in-between. Both knew that they were onto something special.

How We Met

Maggie and Mike went out to visit Maggie's family in Southold for a "low key" Labor Day weekend. They planned to go to Corey Creek winery, one of the first North Fork vineyards they had visited together, to celebrate their 2nd anniversary. While enjoying some wine on a patio overlooking the vineyards Mike asked Maggie if she wanted to walk down closer to the vines to "see the grapes." Maggie was slightly suspicious at this point as Mike was too nervous to make conversation apart from the color of the grapes, "looks like they got some white ones". They walked closer and after a very long 30 seconds Mike got down on one knee to "tie his shoe" (a fully tied Top-Sider) and asked Maggie to marry him. He said a lot of other things that were most likely very sweet, but Maggie was too in shock to hear them. She skipped saying yes and just said a very teary "Of course!".

While our wedding block discounts are no longer available, below is a list of hotels in the area. For those considering renting houses there are options available on Homeaway.com and Airbnb (would suggest searching the towns surrounding Cutchogue where the venue is located as a good starting point). Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions (maggie.keenan@gmail.com and mptewksb@gmail.com). We will do our best to help!

Hotel Update

You can take the LIRR from Penn Station to Southold, and then take a quick cab (or 10 minute walk) to St. Patrick's. See the LIRR website for schedules and directions.

By Train (from NYC)

Please call the hotel directly to book a room under the Keenan Tewksbury Wedding. This hotel is a 10 minute drive from the Hilton. There are a limited number of rooms available in the block (until 7/22/17), but if the block is full please let us know and we will try to add more rooms!

Hotel Indigo Long Island - East End

The Hampton Jitney is our usual method of transportation out to the North Fork (free snacks and water go a long way!). There are several departure spots from the East Side of Manhattan, and the Southold drop off is down the block from the Church. The Riverhead (Tanger Outlets) drop off is also in walking distance of several of the Riverhead hotels. Note the Jitney also offers an airport transfer in Queens so you can take a cab to the Jitney. Make sure to reserve ahead of time!

By Bus (from NYC)

Cove Place Inn is an 18 room inn on the Peconic Bay. It is 15 minutes East of the Hilton Garden Inn in Riverhead, and a 15 minute ride from Pellegrini Vineyards. While the inn does require a 2-night minimum, they have reasonable rates for the area and offer suite options for those who are interested.

Cove Place Inn

JFK Airport and LaGuardia Airport are both options to fly into. Travel time from both will be approx. 1 hr 10 mins to Riverhead hotels and 1 hr 40 mins to St. Patrick's. See note above if you wish to transfer to the Hampton Jitney (vs. renting a car). MacArthur Airport in Long Island will be a shorter drive (60 mins), but as this is a smaller airport flights are more limited.Phone apps will provide you with the best directions, but please reach out to us if you have any questions!

By Plane

If you are traveling from the New England area your trip may be faster if you take the Cross Island Ferry which runs between New London, CT and Orient Point (20 mins west of Southold).

By Boat

The Hyatt Place is located 10 minutes from the Hilton Garden Inn and 20 minutes from Pellegrini Vineyards. While we were not able to get a wedding block, you can book through the hotel directly.

Hyatt Place Long Island/East End

We will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn across from the Tanger Outlet in Riverhead. We would love for any other guests to stay here, although as we were not able to get a room block to accommodate more people beyond family we unfortunately cannot guarantee a discount.

The Holiday Inn is less than a mile down the road from the Hilton. Unfortunately our block is full at this time, but we will continue to try to add rooms. If you would like to stay here and can't book a room now, we recommend trying back on 7/22/17 when other wedding block rooms for that weekend will hopefully be released (although there are no guarantees).

Travel

There are 30+ vineyards on the North Fork, and you can't go wrong with any of them, but Corey Creek is one of our favorites (and where Mike proposed!).

Corey Creek Vineyards

Always a fun spot to have a beverage while playing cornhole or relaxing in Adirondack chairs. They usually have live music too!

Greenport Harbor Brewing-Peconic

Tanger Outlets is right across from the Hilton Garden Inn / Marriott hotels so whether you forgot your shoes or just want to spend some time shopping, you are in luck!

Tanger Outlet Riverhead

If you are looking for some low key fun, check out some Fall favorites at Harbes family farm. The main farm is in Mattituck, and the apple orchard is in Riverhead.

Harbes Family Farm - Mattituck

Take a look at the sunflower fields and grab some local produce at this North Fork farm &amp; market.

Bayview Farms &  Market

This is one of our favorite vineyards, and a must-try if you are a fan of rosé!

Croteaux Vineyards

Grab a lobster roll and take a stroll through the local shops on Love Lane.
