There is nothing bad to say ... only good. From beginning to end the staff @ EW was exceptional. The food and service were incredible. I would recommend EW to anyone in a heartbeat.

The staff of the East Wind were very attentive to our needs and the needs of our guests. We had our ceremony and reception in the Estate. The ceremony was in the dining room and the staff of East Wind, along with our amazing florist Pedalstals, did such an amazing job that numerous guests commented that they didn't realize that they were in the same room for the ceremony and dinner. The food was great and every detail was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better night and everything was just amazing.

I loved everything about our wedding. The only advice I would have is to designate a go to person for the caterer to go to with any problems. I had 2 extra children at my wedding that weren't supposed to stay and the staff made my aunt feel a little uncomfortable. I just wish that they would have gone to my mom or someone instead of having a conflict with my aunt at the table.

I can't say enough about how amazing the East Wind was in making my wedding day a beautiful success. The food was absolutely incredible and the maitre'd was on top of EVERYTHING. Example: I was at my cocktail party talking to a couple of my friends with a plate of food in my hands, and looked around for somewhere for us to sit. Not 15 seconds later, Scott, my maitre'd wheeled up a fully decorated high table for us to put our food down on and with it brought over a sample of every appetizer being served. The bridal suite was beautiful, and our signature drink (which we paid extra for), the strawberry mojito, was delicious. Everything was so professional and taken care of that I had a FABULOUS time at my wedding and had nothing to worry about. They were amazing.

What can I say about East Wind? The food was amazing. The staff was more than helpful and responsive to our needs. The decor was beautiful. They met and exceeded my expectations on everything.

Interview With East Wind Long Island

We pride ourselves on, at the end of the day having surpassed all of your wedding day dreams. The friendship of the ones we serve is the foundation of our future success

“We pride ourselves on, at the end of the day having surpassed all of your wedding day dreams. The friendship of the ones we serve is the foundation of our future success.”

Tell us about some of the wedding packages you offer?

Our packages range from Black Tie formal sit down dinners to casual 'cocktail party' and buffet packages. We are always able to accommodate and to customize any type of menu.

What makes your location unique and special?

Our location is at the gateway to the North Fork of Long Island and we are set on 25 private & landscaped acres. In addition to catering we also offer luxurious hotel accommodations,a decadent 10,000 square foot full service Spa & hair Salon and fine dining in Desmond's Restaurant & Lounge. With a North Fork Bridal on site and The Shoppes at East Wind just steps away, you and your guest can take advantage to all of these amenities. When you come to East Wind you get the feeling of a true destination wedding rather than just going to a traditional catering hall.

Tell us why you decided to go into the wedding industry.

After owning & operating a restaurant for 18 years, catering seemed to be a natural transition. From there came a love of working with Couples and helping to create their 'fantasy wedding'.

Tell us about some of the most unique events you've hosted?

We have done some outrageous 'platinum weddings' to elegant intimate weddings. All of them are unique in their own way. Some of our couples have brought in specialty lighting technicians and have completely transformed our ballrooms.

How far in advance should a couple start looking for and book their catering hall?

Times have changed. It used to be that couples would book their wedding almost 2 years out, sometimes more. Lately,a lot of short term weddings have been booked (about 6 months out). But in order to get the date that you absolutely want, we recommend at least a year to a year and a half out.

How can you help couples 'customize' their special event?

At East Wind, we offer a complimentary Wedding Planner to help assist them in any way they need. Once the wedding is booked the next step is to help get them started booking their vendors. At that point is when we also discuss different ways to enhance their wedding. We have relationships with various vendors all with their own talents, from custom linens, to specialty music and lighting & entertainment.

East Wind is the only true Wedding Destination on Long Island, with the finest cuisine and unsurpassed service, we are dedicated to make this special day become a memory that will be etched in your hearts forever. So why not spend a day you will always remember in a place that you will never forget.
