Perfect day!!!
As soon as we saw celebrations we new it was THE place!!! We were looking for some place we could have an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception. We were married 10/5/19 The grounds are beautiful (fully decorated with beautiful mums and pumpkins for our special day) for an outdoor ceremony and pictures! John and Laurie are friendly and knowledgeable and make the planning process so easy. They also offer many other services that make the planning process easy which include photography, a photo booth (with awesome picture quality and tons of props!) and DJ services. Venue was perfect, staff were helpful and friendly, food was amazing (still receiving tons of compliments), DJ (Faith) played great music people were up and dancing all night! Photography (Shannon) was perfect, efficient, captured everything we wanted and things we didn’t even think of. I would recommend Celebrations over and over again!!!

First of all, Laurie was always on the ball and really helped us to plan out everything. She is quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. They also did the majority of decorating for us. They offer so many services including a DJ and photo booth.
Our guests really enjoyed the food and the venue in general. We had so many compliments. The grounds and the patio are gorgeous!!! They have done so much work landscaping.
Finally, the DJ (Faith) was excellent. She took the majority of our requests and actually played them. This was really important to us and we were so happy about that. The other songs she chose were fun as well.
We are so grateful to Laurie and John. Thank you so much for making everything go so smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about anything once we were there, just having fun!! We would not hesitate to recommend this venue.

I've photographed multiple weddings at Celebrations and they always do a fantastic job of taking care of their couples!
I've had the pleasure of working with John & Laurie at Celebrations on many occasions. Each time they consistently show a real concern for every couple whose day they're entrusted with. From every detail in presentation, to food, to service, they excel in all areas. I've worked in nearly every wedding venue in Central New York... I'd feel confident recommending Celebrations to anyone.
