The Wharf
WHERE: OAKDALE
The revamped Wharf in Oakdale, on the Connetquot River, has quickly emerged as a big player in the South Shore catering game, especially for waterfront weddings.
“This is not a set, structured catering venue,” said Lauren Salamone of operators Lily Flanagan’s Restaurant Group, which oversaw the property’s overhaul and provides all the food. “It could be a rustic affair, or more formal. We can make it as fancy or as casual as a couple needs.”
Features include, among others, three sprawling paved patios, an outdoor bar, several fireplaces and two party tents with spaces for hundreds of guests to eat, drink and dance.
All with the backdrop of the river boat dock and Fire Island. The Wharf can provide guests with music, flowers, desserts and more for complete wedding and event packages. Catered events at The Wharf can be as small as 40 guests, or as big as 250.
