Duckwalk Vineyard Reviews

Duckwalk was the perfect wedding venue! We had about 100 guests, so we were able to have our entire reception inside. They were the most affordable venue on the North Fork, and we had to bring nearly nothing in ourselves. perfect wedding venue! We had about 100 guests, so we were able to have our entire reception inside. They were the most affordable venue on the North Fork, and we had to bring nearly nothing in ourselves. Between them and East End Events, we had all of the conveniences of a traditional venue.

Duckwalk was our heaven on earth! My husband and I always wanted a vineyard wedding, but always thought it would be so out of reach. From the moment we walked into Duckwalk, we were in love. We met Alex, one of the owners, Dara (one of the managers at the time) and Elaine, one of the bartenders, who treated us like family. We worked with the new manager, Tara, a few months before our wedding, and she made us feel at ease and comfortable! Their prices are so reasonable, and they work with you to make sure you are comfortable. It was worth every penny! We booked our 9/22/18 wedding in late November 2016, and every time we came to Duckwalk, they treated us with such respect and made us feel so welcome. Their wines are delicious, and they had so many options to choose from. Our wedding was absolutely PERFECT, with a huge white tent and beautiful wooden tasting room. We loved that the food was cooked on-site! Everything ran so smoothly, and everyone had such an amazing time! There was so much room to spread out and do different things—we had an area for corn hole, separate patio area with tables/chairs, the dance floor under the tent, and the entire tasting room. They even let you walk through the vines! No one felt crowded or trapped in one area, like in some catering halls. They truly made this process so enjoyable for us, and we are so grateful!

Duck Walk Vineyards is Long Island's best kept wedding venue secret - but not for long! After looking at alternative venues in Brooklyn, where I live, I started to look at some options on the east end to compare prices. Other vineyards were charging crazy room fees that were well out of my price range, and then I came across Duck Walk. Not only is it a beautiful setting, they have their own exclusive caterer (who is amazing), a beautiful recently redone bridal suite, and an affordable price. They were so reasonable that we were able to have our November wedding ceremony in the tasting room, cocktail hour on the TENTED and HEATED patio, and the reception back in the tasting room, all for less than just a room would have cost me somewhere else. Tables and chairs are included (unheard of in Brooklyn), as well as the awesome strings of lights that they have hanging from the ceiling. You have to buy their wine if you're having your wedding at the vineyard, but their wine is amazing as well and they give you a discount! The staff is wonderful and Dara helped to answer all of my questions and make sure that everything was set to have the perfect day, which it was!

I went out to the North Fork to look at Vineyards to hold our wedding. We went to many of them and the people at Duck Walk sat with us and asked what my "vision" was. They explained how it's been done before but when I told them I wanted it to be different they didn't hesitate and they said they'll get it done. It's very laid back around there. We didn't go into an office with a desk between us. It was more casual. They also took out a piece of paper and told us the exact amount of costs so we wouldn't have any surprises coming up. I'm excited to get married there! FYI, this is also just for the site, not including food or drinks.

My husband and I are big wine lovers and our first weekend getaway when we started dating was the LI wine country. So, when we started planning our wedding, my first choice for the venue was a winery.
However, finding a venue that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and has good tasting wine and a good selection, seemed impossible for a while. Until we found Duck Walk.
Our wedding at Duck Walk was the most beautiful event with a natural outdoor setting, great weather and excellent wine.

This venue was beautiful! From the start Duck Walk worked with us to make our vision for our wedding perfect. This venue has an associated caterer (CJ’s) which made things so easy. All of the staff at Duck Walk have worked with the caterer a million times and CJ’s catering knows this venue so well. The serving staff were so attentive to not just the bride and groom but all of the guests as well. We received compliments from family members about the service that was provided. The Maitre D, Tina was the most amazing coordinator we could have asked for. We met with her about 6 weeks out and again the day prior but felt so comfortable having her be a part of our day. She adjusted our timeline as necessary to keep the day flowing, provided cocktail hour to the bride and groom when we didn’t have time to attend, and bustled my dress more than once during the night. Tina even noticed that a vendor was running late and reached out to them while we were busy taking photos. If it wasn’t for Tina that vendor would have gone unnoticed and we may have not had our vendor when needed. She went above and beyond the entire night. When planning the wedding we asked to have the dance floor outside all night and they were happy to make this happen no questions asked. The experience was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this venue to every couple.

Working with Andrea at Duck Walk was a fantastic experience. We looked at many vineyards on the North Fork, many of which could not even accommodate a wedding of our size (160 guests). Not only could Duck Walk do a larger sized wedding, but it is an absolutely beautiful vineyard. They held numerous meetings with me and my fiancé to discuss exactly how we envisioned setting everything up on the big day. It was executed flawlessly and was the absolutely perfect setting for our ceremony and reception!
