““We are grateful beyond words for the amazing community of vendors that made our wedding day flawless for our guests and ourselves. We had the opportunity to meet with most of the people who donated to the Wedding Giveback this year, and we were so awed by their generosity, kindness, and the passion that they put into their work. Thank you to the panel of judges at Peconic Landing that chose us, to Valerie for all her orchestration, to all the helping hands that contributed, and to our guests for traveling from far and wide to make our day so special.””
— Edward & Sarah Wright, 2023 Wedding Giveback Recipients

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 11th year, has become a much anticipated annual staple at Brecknock Hall and awards one deserving military couple a dream wedding.  

““All of us at Peconic Landing are so excited to resume this heartwarming tradition,” said Robert J. Syron, Peconic Landing’s President and CEO. “Damen and Katherine are a truly deserving couple, and it is our absolute honor to recognize their tremendous service to our country and support them on this special occasion.””
— Robert Syron, President & Ceo, Peconic Landing
