    Beautiful finger lakes venue that does it all!

    I can’t imagine a more beautiful scene than the flower fountain with Owasco lake in the background. Our ceremony was one from my dreams! The transition from ceremony to cocktail to reception is seamless. It’s great to have everything in one beautiful venue.
    Andrea from A&M catering was great to work with. We originally booked in 2019 for a 2020 wedding and ended up in August 2021. Andrea was there to answer our questions and help us every step of the way. She ran day of logistics which was great to have a coordinator built in to the venue.
    The food and drink that comes with the venue was amazing too. Our guests loved their meals, the signature drinks were great, and I ate so many appetizers!
    If you have a chance, book this venue. You won’t regret it!!
