There are plenty of picture-perfect spots for the reception and ceremony here, including a private beach, a pool patio, a magnificent lawn overlooking the marina, a bar patio and a grand, farmhouse ballroom.

Located in the quaint town of Sayville on the South Shore, you can enjoy cocktails outdoors on the property's exquisitely manicured gardens. Land's End offers gourmet cuisine prepared by culinary trained chefs. And only one wedding is booked at a time, which means the staff is devoted completely to the day's event.
