Cutchogue winery with a modern tasting house and vines in every direction.
Bedell prints its site fees. On the North Fork that is close to unheard of, and it is the main reason this page is longer than most. You can find out what a Saturday costs at 36225 Main Road in Cutchogue before you ever pick up a phone, which means you can also find out that the number went up, and that two of Bedell’s own documents currently disagree with each other about what you get for it.
Bedell’s current wedding brochure, downloadable from their site as BEDELL_WEDDINGS_2026.pdf, lists the site fee as $16,000 Friday (5–10pm), $19,000 Saturday (5–10pm) and $14,000 Sunday (2–7pm). Holiday rates are $20,000 for both Saturday and Sunday. The footnotes are short and worth reading twice: “Max 200 guests. Pricing does not include NYS sales tax,” and “An extension of one hour is available for $2000.”
That is a site fee. Food is not in it, drink is barely in it, and the required extras are not in it either. Treat it as the cost of the ground you are standing on.
The 2024 edition is still floating around, and comparing the two is instructive. It listed a weekday rate of $10,000 for a 4–9pm window, Friday at $15,000, Saturday at $18,000, Sunday at $12,000, holiday Saturday at $20,000 and holiday Sunday at $15,000, with the hour extension priced at $1,000. You can read it here.
So: Friday and Saturday each went up a thousand dollars, Sunday went up two, the hour extension doubled, and holiday Sunday jumped five thousand to sit level with holiday Saturday. The line that vanished entirely is the weekday one. The 2026 grid has no Monday-through-Thursday row at all. If a Tuesday in June was your plan for getting a North Fork winery under budget, ask directly whether that option still exists, because the brochure no longer offers it.
Bedell’s FAQ page says the beverage option of beers, soft drinks, mixers, ice and water runs $15 per person. The 2026 brochure says $20 per person for mixers, soft drinks, ice, iced tea, lemonade, bottled water and three types of beer. At 175 guests that gap is $875. Not fatal. Not nothing.
The hours conflict is the bigger one. The FAQ states that “weddings are hosted from 5 – 11p on Friday/Saturdays and from 2 – 8p on Sundays” and that “venues are rented for a six hour window of time.” The brochure sells you five hours and stops the Friday and Saturday clock at 10pm. That is a full hour of reception, and at $2,000 to buy an hour back it is a priced difference, not a rounding error. Get the window written into the contract rather than quoted at you.
One thing both documents agree on: per the FAQ, local ordinance means “all music must be off by 11pm.” Plan the last song accordingly.
The brochure describes a cathedral-roofed pavilion with an attached 4,000 square foot mahogany deck looking out over the vineyard, and adds that “our apple orchard and west lawn are available for ceremonies and/or cocktails at no additional charge.” The FAQ confirms ceremonies are included in the site rental, and that you cannot book a ceremony on its own.
Then the required extras. “Valet Parking and Security are required for all events,” both contracted separately, so both are your line items. Bedell does not cook: “We do not prepare or provide food for events,” and clients are required to work with one of an exclusive group of approved caterers, who also arrange and serve the hard alcohol.
The wine rule is straightforward and, to their credit, not predatory. Bedell wines are poured exclusively at all events, charged on consumption with a 15% event discount, and the FAQ says no minimum case purchase is required. That is a better deal than the case minimums some East End wineries write into a contract, and it is worth confirming in writing since it is the kind of term that quietly changes.
Bedell’s sister property comes up in every conversation about the 200-guest ceiling. The FAQ puts Corey Creek at 100 guests tented, and says smaller functions of 75 or fewer run there year round, while Bedell’s pavilion weddings are a May to early October proposition.
Here is the part directories get wrong. Corey Creek Taproom’s own site gives its address as 45470 Main Road, Southold. A Corey Creek wedding is a Southold wedding, several minutes further east on Route 25 than the Cutchogue tasting house, with a different drive for your guests and different hotel math. If someone quotes you “Bedell” and means Corey Creek, those are two towns and two capacities.
For how these numbers sit against the rest of the hamlet, we broke Bedell out alongside Salt Air Farm on the Cutchogue page, and the wider East End picture is on the North Fork page.
Bedell is one of two wedding venues in Cutchogue, and the other one prices nothing like it. Both site-fee structures, side by side.
Peconic winery built like a Mediterranean villa, a North Fork wedding classic.
Southold house of sparkling wine, which tells you how the toasts go.
Riverhead vineyard with wide-open rows and a new-school tasting room.
One of the Fork's originals, pouring its own label on Sound Avenue.
