The Baker House 1650 is one of the most charming and intimate wedding venues in the Hamptons - a historic English manor-style inn surrounded by beautiful gardens, brick pathways, and that signature East Hampton elegance. Set right in the village, the property feels tucked away and private, making it perfect for couples who want a weekend-long celebration in a setting that feels personal and refined.
The venue blends old-world charm with modern boutique luxury. Think about centuries-old fireplaces, beautifully restored interiors, curated furnishings, and calm outdoor spaces that shift beautifully from daytime sunshine to candlelit evening ambiance.
One of the biggest advantages of Baker House 1650 is its flexibility for smaller, elevated celebrations. The property shines for micro-weddings, welcome dinners, and full wedding weekends where you and your closest people take over the inn. Guests can stay on-site in the beautifully designed rooms and enjoy the gardens, pool, and breakfast together -- it feels like hosting your wedding at a luxurious private estate.
The gardens are the crown jewel of the venue. They're beautifully maintained, with hedges, stone walls, and shaded nooks that create a natural sense of romance without needing much décor. You can host a ceremony on the lawn, cocktails by the pool, and dinner under a tent or beneath the stars, depending on the season and guest count.
Another standout is the location. You're minutes from the beach, steps from East Hampton Village, and right in the center of the Hamptons experience, perfect for a full weekend itinerary with welcome cocktails, beach time, or an after-party nearby. The Baker House events team is incredibly helpful and familiar with local vendors, making planning smooth and straightforward.
Baker House 1650 is a dream to photograph because every corner of the property has character. The gardens are where the magic really happens, soft light filtering through the trees, manicured hedges, brick paths, and little pockets of privacy that are perfect for portraits. Late afternoon is the sweet spot here; the whole lawn glows.
For a first look, the stone steps or the ivy-covered walls are effortless choices, and you don’t have to walk far to get a ton of variety. The pool area also photographs beautifully before guests arrive -- it has this clean, timeless Hamptons vibe that works great for romantic shots or wedding party portraits.
Inside, the inn is cozy and historic, so your photographer will rely on natural window light for those getting-ready moments. Think warm, intimate, and very “old-world Hamptons” in the best way.
And for the evening? The venue absolutely shines with candles and string lights. A little warm lighting goes a long way — it reflects off the greenery and architecture and creates that soft, glowing reception atmosphere Baker House is known for.
