Jedediah Hawkins Inn · 400 South Jamesport Avenue, Jamesport, NY 11947

Jedediah Hawkins Inn in Jamesport is a restored 1863 Victorian farmhouse on the North Fork, with kitchen gardens, farm fields and guest rooms. It suits intimate weddings and photographs like a working farm with beautiful bones.

What the venue gives you

A characterful farmhouse with porches and period detail, productive kitchen and flower gardens, open farm fields behind, mature trees, and cozy interior rooms. The scale is small; the textures are rich.

Where the portraits happen

  • The farmhouse porch and facade — the signature frame.
  • The garden rows — vegetables, flowers and structure.
  • The open field at golden hour — big sky, warm backlight.
  • The interior rooms — intimate, period, weatherproof.

Timeline notes

The venue is compact, so 20 minutes covers the porch, gardens and a bit of field — but the field really wants golden hour, so protect that slot. A first look on the porch is a natural fit for an intimate day.

The rain plan

The covered porches and the period interior rooms are genuinely lovely, not compromises. A rainy farm wedding here still looks like a farm wedding.

Frequently asked questions

How large a wedding does it hold?
It’s an intimate venue — smaller guest counts, often with a tent for the reception. Great for couples who want character over capacity.
Are the gardens working gardens?
Yes — the kitchen and flower gardens are productive and change through the season, which makes for a different look spring versus late summer.
