Larkfield Manor is one of Long Island’s most celebrated wedding venues, a place where European-inspired design, personalized service, and heartfelt celebrations come together effortlessly. Nestled in East Northport, this Long Island estate blends old-world charm with modern sophistication. As a wedding photographer, I have had the privilege of documenting celebrations here, and each visit feels like stepping into a classic European villa where love stories unfold with ease and grace.
Whether you are envisioning an intimate winter gathering or a lively garden celebration surrounded by family and friends, a wedding at Larkfield Manor provides an atmosphere where beauty, hospitality, and connection meet in perfect harmony.
With architecture reminiscent of a Tuscan estate, Larkfield Manor has long been a beloved destination for couples across Suffolk County and beyond. Its story began decades ago as a family-owned restaurant before evolving into the elegant wedding venue it is today. The team’s dedication to excellence is evident in every detail, from attentive service to refined décor and a commitment to creating experiences that linger in memory.
Each archway, courtyard, and wrought iron gate carries a sense of heritage. This is a place built for celebration, but also for legacy, where each wedding becomes part of the manor’s rich story.
Larkfield Manor offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony options, each designed to enhance the couple’s experience. The outdoor courtyard, framed by stone walls, ivy, and fountains, evokes a European garden setting ideal for spring and fall weddings. When cooler weather arrives, the indoor ballroom transforms into an inviting space with classic architecture that balances warmth and sophistication.
Inside, couples can choose between two distinct reception rooms: the Borghese Room and the Villaggio Room.
The Villaggio Room offers is Larkfield’s premier space, hosting up to 400 guests. With its soft lighting, stone accents, and Italian-inspired atmosphere, it provides a grand yet welcoming environment for larger celebrations.
The Borghese Room accommodates approximately 200 guests, featuring high ceilings, elegant detailing, and a timeless aesthetic that suits both modern and traditional weddings.
Each space flows seamlessly from cocktail hour to dinner and dancing. A private bridal suite on-site provides a comfortable area for getting ready, storing essentials, and enjoying quiet moments before the ceremony begins.
The gardens are at the heart of what makes Larkfield Manor weddings so memorable. Winding pathways, flowering trees, and manicured hedges surround the venue, creating an atmosphere of peaceful refinement. The grounds feel both private and expansive, designed to transport guests to a serene, villa-like retreat.
Couples often share a few quiet moments here before joining their guests, surrounded by the sound of fountains and the texture of cobblestone beneath their feet. The gardens also serve as a perfect backdrop for portraits, intimate, natural, and timeless. Every corner reveals a new perspective, from ivy-draped walls to open terraces, creating opportunities for imagery that reflects the connection and elegance of the day.
After photographing multiple weddings at Larkfield, I have come to appreciate how seamlessly the venue supports both the couple and their vendors. The team is attentive, timelines run smoothly, and transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are effortless. For couples, that means more time spent celebrating and less time worrying about logistics.
There is always a calm energy here. Whether we are capturing portraits in the gardens or candid moments in the ballroom, the flow of the day feels natural. Larkfield Manor’s thoughtful design makes it easy to find beautiful, private spots for portraits without stepping far from the celebration itself.
Couples are drawn to Larkfield Manon for its ability to feel both grand and personal. It offers the elegance of a European estate without ever feeling imposing. Guests are greeted warmly, and every space feels intentionally designed to bring people together. The team’s attention to detail and genuine hospitality ensure that every wedding feels unique, not just another event, but a meaningful experience that reflects each couple’s story.
Conveniently located near Northport Village and a short drive from local hotels, Larkfield provides comfort for visiting guests while maintaining a sense of exclusivity that defines a luxury Long Island celebration.
While Larkfield Manor is best known for its weddings, it is also an incredible location for engagement sessions. The architecture, vine-covered walls, and quiet courtyards create a timeless environment that allows couples to feel relaxed and connected.
We especially enjoy photographing engagement sessions in late summer and early fall, when the gardens are full and the atmosphere feels peaceful. Couples quickly find themselves at ease here, and that comfort translates into portraits that feel both elevated and authentic. Whether you are planning an engagement session before your Larkfield Manor wedding or simply drawn to its charm, this venue provides a setting that celebrates genuine connection.
Planning a wedding at Larkfield Manor means embracing both tradition and refined simplicity. The venue offers a full-service experience, including in-house catering, event coordination, and elegant design elements that help couples enjoy their day without distraction.
Many couples choose seasonal styling to complement the property’s natural beauty. In autumn, rich tones and textured florals pair beautifully with the Tuscan architecture. In winter, soft neutrals and candlelit décor add warmth and intimacy to the celebration.
For portraits, we often plan sessions around the quiet moments before sunset, when the gardens take on a gentle calm. The courtyards and pathways provide variety and depth, allowing couples to tell their story in a setting that feels timeless and deeply personal.
Larkfield Manor is located at 507 Larkfield Road, East Northport, NY 11731.
