Insignia Steakhouse
Hamptons-style mansion steakhouse in Smithtown, Long Island, hosting one wedding at a time
Insignia is a steak and sushi restaurant in Smithtown, on Long Island's North Shore, set in a building designed to feel like a Hamptons mansion. Quarried stone, a copper roof, a spiral staircase and a glass-walled wine cellar give it a sense of occasion, and the whole mansion is given over to one wedding at a time. Ceremonies, cocktails and the reception all happen here, for up to 250 guests.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
With the full venue reserved for a single wedding and a personal coordinator assigned to you, the day is shaped around you rather than run on a conveyor belt. The restaurant setting gives a more intimate feel than a banquet hall, while still offering the space for a big guest list.
Ceremonies
There is a warm indoor ceremony room, and outdoor ceremonies are also held on site. Both options keep your guests on the property, so there is no need for transportation between the ceremony and the reception. Your coordinator can help you choose between the two settings and plan a weather backup if you pick the outdoor option.
Receptions and food
Cocktail hour can move outside to a Hamptons-style lounge with a raised fire feature. Receptions take place in the main dining room, with wood floors and custom lighting, while the wine cellar looks down over the dance floor and makes a striking photo spot. The kitchen is known for USDA Prime dry-aged steaks and sushi from an in-house sushi chef. A premium open bar with top-shelf spirits is included, with two signature drinks served by butlers as guests arrive, ten wines picked by the in-house sommelier and 16 beers on tap.
Getting there and the area
Insignia is on the Smithtown Bypass, Route 347, in the heart of Suffolk County. Smithtown station on the Long Island Rail Road is nearby, and the Northern State Parkway and Long Island Expressway are within easy reach. Stony Brook, Port Jefferson and the North Shore beaches are a short drive away, and Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip is also close by.
