Working with Megan and the boathouse team was a dream. They're attention to detail and willing to work with us as a couple and our vendors was unmatched. The venue itself is the perfect place to plan a wedding. It's a blank slate and so working with our event designers, we were able to create the most incredible reception space with views of the bay and a cocktail party that our guests are still talking about to this day. If I could relive our day at the Boathouse I would do it over and over again. I recommend this venue and the team that supports it to anyone who is looking to host a wedding out on long island or Shelter Island in particular.

We had our wedding last weekend at Maple Lane and we are still blown away by how amazing it was. Kim and Allyn were so helpful not only in the months, weeks, and days leading up, but were on site helping ensure things ran smoothly on the day of. The grounds are gorgeous and a beautiful backdrop to any celebration. We chose to include the 1791 House for our bridal party and we all agreed- it was one of the coolest places to stay. Being able to walk across the street in between tasks was awesome and there was plenty of space for everyone. At the start of our search for a venue, we felt very discouraged by the hefty price tags and preferred vendor lists. Maple Lane was incredibly affordable for our budget- even including the accommodations for our bridal party. Whether you're looking for an indoor event, or a large tented outdoor event like us- this place should definitely be on the top of your list. We only toured one venue, Maple Lane, and we instantly fell in love.
