When couples search for event space on Long Island, the indoor-outdoor question comes up early and often. Can we have the outdoor setting without giving up the ballroom? Can guests move between inside and outside without it feeling like a logistics problem? At Larkfield in East Northport, the answer to both is yes. The property was designed around that connection, with completely private gardens for up to 250 guests, a purpose-built indoor-outdoor space in the Orangerie room, and indoor and outdoor cocktail reception options across the main ballrooms. Everything sits on one connected property, served by a culinary team and service structure that has been running events here for over 40 years.
Yes, Larkfield provides indoor and outdoor event space on Long Island through private gardens, the Orangerie with direct stone courtyard access, and indoor outdoor cocktail reception options across its main ballrooms. The East Northport property supports weddings, social events, and corporate gatherings with flexible spaces on one connected property.
How Larkfield Supports Indoor and Outdoor Events on Long Island
The detail that separates a genuine indoor-outdoor venue from one that simply has a lawn is whether the outdoor space connects naturally to the indoor rooms, whether it is private, or the transition between the two feels like part of the event. At Larkfield, those three things are true by design.
The Orangerie
The Orangerie’s 35-foot ceiling is lit from above by clerestory windows that bring natural light through the 3,200 square foot room throughout the day. Five patio access doors open directly to the stone courtyard outside, and the room accommodates up to 250 guests with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The stone courtyard provides guests with a defined outdoor setting with architectural character rather than an open, unstructured lawn.
Guests move between the courtyard and the interior naturally without the transition feeling managed. The Orangerie was modeled after the sixteenth-century Italian greenhouses where citrus trees were kept through the winter months, and that sense of a light-filled, permeable space comes through in how it functions today.
The Gardens
Larkfield Gardens is completely private and accommodates up to 250 guests. The gardens offer a multitude of photography options without anyone leaving the property. Privacy shapes the atmosphere from the moment guests arrive outside. There is no shared access, no other event running alongside yours.
Indoor and Outdoor Cocktail Receptions Across the Main Ballrooms
The indoor-outdoor flexibility extends beyond the Orangerie and gardens. Indoor and outdoor cocktail receptions are available across the two main ballrooms. The Villaggio Ballroom at 5,500 square feet with a 20-foot ceiling holds up to 475 guests without a dance floor. The Borghese Ballroom at 4,032 square feet holds up to 220. Both include indoor and outdoor cocktail reception options as part of how the spaces operate.
For planners building an event around movement between indoor and outdoor settings, the infrastructure is already in place across the property, rather than something arranged separately.
The Events That Benefit From Indoor-Outdoor Space
The indoor-outdoor flexibility serves a wide range of event types. Weddings are the primary focus, with an on-site ceremony option that keeps the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at one address. Social events, including Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Quinceañeras, Sweet 16 celebrations, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, reunions, proms, and christenings are all hosted here, as are corporate events.
The Larkfield Music Group, the in-house entertainment division, is available across all event types and spaces. MCs, DJs, and live musicians, including string ensembles, a harpist, guitar players, and steel drum performers, are available for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception across all event types.
