Highly Recommend

We recently held my parents’ 50th Wedding Anniversary party at the Granger Homestead. We had approximately 25 guests & everyone had positive feedback on the location we’d chosen.
The staff (Colleen & Vicky) were wonderful! They were available if we needed them, but didn’t hover & let our guests enjoy themselves. They gave shortened tours of the Homestead and carriage houses as our guests requested them.
I kept the decorations simple so as to not detract from the beauty of the homestead itself. We had appetizers & desserts catered so there was one table and one high boy, plus additional chairs, in each of the three rooms for our guests to eat at, or just sit and chat. It was a very relaxed atmosphere during the whole party & our guests really enjoyed themselves.
I would highly recommend this venue!

Granger - A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

My daughter recently held her wedding reception at Granger after riding in the horse-drawn carriage from the marriage at St. John's down the street. I cannot say enough good about the Granger staff, especially Collen, who was not only flexible, but responded promptly too all my questions over the 6 months prior to the celebration. She also worked very well with my wedding planner. The reception in the tent in the side yard was perfect, and we had the grounds for carriage rides and lawn games. We made use of the beautiful side porch when introducing the wedding party, and the sunset in front provided a lovely background for a photo of the newlyweds. The guests loved wandering through the beautiful mansion, and, also, the neighborhood as there made their way from church to reception. Many guests stayed in neighboring Bed & Breakfasts and Airbnb's. A reception at Granger was a wonderful way to showcase the City of Canandaigua, where we live!

Everything was perfect! We celebrated my grandmother's 100th birthday with about 75 guests at the Granger Homestead. The Home was the perfect place with the beautiful Chandeliers and the grand formal (but comfortable) setting.
The guests loved the Home and raved about the party.
Colleen was wonderful to work with. She was very helpful with suggesting the best table set up and places for the bar. I was hesitant to place the bar in the far room and Colleen was right. The guests will find the bar wherever you place it! It actually worked well in that room. There was plenty of room to move about and the bartender could easily get extra supplies from the back room as needed. Colleen was very patient with me as I tried to rearrange the set up even the day before the event! Colleen personally grabbed extra tables and assisted with all the extras as needed. She was there during the event and quickly responded to our extra needs.
We used the Home's china. It was beautiful. The silverware was elegant.
Grandma loved the event. Thank you to Granger Homestead and staff!

As a history teacher I knew having a historic touch would be important to me - the Granger did not disappoint!! The day before my wedding I stopped by and the house was absolutely spotless for our day! The house is elegant without being pretentious and my guests raved about how beautiful it was! With our 93 guests we chose to use the house for our cocktail hour and set up a heated tent right outside the beautiful porch for dinner and dancing, it worked wonderfully and guests had the opportunity to move between the house and the tent all night! Colleen was always kind and attentive and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as we envisioned it. The price is VERY reasonable compared to other places AND you would be supporting the preservation of a landmark home as well! If you are looking for an elegant, warm location I cannot recommend this place enough!

I knew I wanted to get married and have a reception outside, which in Rochester means you have very limited options. We had put Granger on the list because we were already looking at other venues in Canadaguia and when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. We ended up using the house for our rehearsal dinner and the grounds for our wedding and reception. Colleen (the event coordinator) was wonderful and went above and beyond to be sure that everything we wanted was taken care of, she is truly wonderful and we could not have done it without her. The house makes an amazing backdrop for photos, both inside and outside! We could not have asked for a better venue, you also have the opportunity to bring in your choice of cater, which is rare and very nice perk.

Delighted with venue for our purposes. This was a rehearsal party the night before the wedding. Granger staff was more than helpful in planning, preparation of the event for 45 people.
Colleen was incredible with service above and beyond: Last minute request she provided a quick overview for our guests which really set the tone for the party. In addition she provided a requested print, framed and ready to go that I was able to present to my bride the night before for such a memorable evening.

If you want a beautiful and historic venue this is where to go. The venue director, Colleen, was awesome. In a pinch we were able to switch around a few things, due to weather, with everything turning out great . This wedding was my son & daughter-in-laws wedding. They both love the history involved with people and places.

We had a very small wedding inside the Granger home. There were a lot of issues or constraints with were items can be placed in the home such as decorations, usage of all access points to the home which made it hard to set up the day of the wedding. Unable to set off lanterns outside, cannot use flower petals for outside ceremony, cannot use real flower petals for indoor ceremony due to carpet. There is no staff to help bride and groom except Colleen the manager of Granger which is still limited help. Setting up tables, placing napkins, etc, don't count on getting it done unless you or your bridal party does it. They do not help with any clean up either! Expect to only get a mansion with lots of restrictions. Beautiful place just not great for a small wedding. Outside tent wedding would be much better here!
