Lake Ronkonkoma Wedding

Lake Ronkonkoma is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 19,701 at the 2000 census.

Lake Ronkonkoma is located in the Town of Brookhaven, with portions in the Town of Islip and Town of Smithtown.

The actual lake, Lake Ronkonkoma, is situated in the town, and is the largest lake on Long Island. The land surrounding the lake itself is in the jurisdiction by three different townships - Islip, Brookhaven and Smithtown. When the Indians sold their land around the lake, they wanted to make sure that nobody had sole control of all the land.

As a result of the lake's existence, Lake Ronkonkoma was once a resort town, until the area experienced a population explosion in the mid-1900s. Remnants of old resorts and hotels can still be seen around the lake's shores.
