One of the reasons that people love Long Island is that their are many different venues for any type of wedding.

Beachfront Venues for Sunset Ceremonies: Imagine saying your vows on the shores of Long Island, where the Atlantic Ocean meets golden sands. If you’ve been dreaming of a beachfront wedding, there’s hardly a better destination than Montauk, agreed?
Historic Mansions with Large Gardens: For those old money romance vibes (with a touch of elegance and grandeur), I love when couples choose to host their wedding at one of the historic mansions on Long Island's North Shore. These striking estates offer timeless architecture backdrops and beautifully manicured gardens, creating the perfect backdrop for a sophisticated outdoor ceremony or a starlit reception.
