“Being selected for the Peconic Landing Veterans Day Wedding Giveback has been an experience we’ll cherish forever.

What is the Veterans Day Wedding Giveback?

In 2011, Brecknock Hall, in partnership with Peconic Landing, created the Veterans Day Wedding Giveback—an opportunity to thank our military personnel and recognize them for their service. Through the generosity of area businesses & fellow wedding industry professionals the event, now in its 14th year, has become a much anticipated annual staple at Brecknock Hall and awards one deserving military couple a dream wedding.  


“Our Veterans Day Wedding Giveback is a heartfelt tribute to honor and support those who have served our nation,” said Robert J. Syron, President and CEO of Peconic Landing. “Alex and Heather embody the spirit of resilience and commitment, and it is a privilege to help them celebrate their love on this special day.”
— Robert Syron, President & Ceo, Peconic Landing
