On North Fork's Peconic Bay, a haven for elegant, waterfront weddings and events is nestled in Long Island's wine country at Peconic Bay Yacht Club. Incredible views of the pristine Peconic Bay envelop the stunning, versatile property. Before the Peconic Bay Yacht Club was the gorgeous, 10,000-square-foot event venue that it is today, the property was vacant and rundown. e grounds were once home to an old brick factory and the former location of Mill Creek Inn before the building was torn down and in the process of being rebuilt when it was put up for sale. Seeing potential in the location and having a successful career as a builder, co- owner of Peconic Bay Yacht Club, Eugene Burger, began restoring and rebuilding the structure and grounds. Today, Peconic Bay Yacht Club is a waterfront event paradise with a lawn leading out to a private marina, a terrace with panoramic views, and an indoor ballroom, lounge, and private tasting room. A chic take on nautical design, Peconic Bay Yacht Club flaunts warm, welcoming hues with oak floors, textured custom wallpaper, and varying shades of blue to bring a freshness to the traditional style. Intricate wood-working and opulent chandeliers tie the spaces together and create grand, yet not overdone, areas. Designer Kathryn Hunt evokes a home- like feel through integrating charming marine-oriented accents within the mahogany lined spaces. Manicured grounds greet guests as they approach the cedar-shingle sided building, setting the gracefully grand tone as they enter the stately lounge. Only hosting one event per day, the team at Peconic Bay Yacht Club is dedicated to creating a flawless, exclusive experience for all guests and take immense pride in their unique venue. While weddings are the primary events hosted at Peconic Bay Yacht Club, it is also a popular and pristine location for corporate events, charity events, galas, business dinners, and wine tastings. From small parties to events with up to 260 guests, Peconic Bay Yacht Club can accommodate and exceed expectations for any type of gathering. PHOTO CREDIT: BO SHIM VUELONGISLAND.COM 45
