Inn at Taughannock Falls

Where do I even begin with how amazing The Inn at Taughannok Fall is. A dream wedding became a reality here.

When beginning our wedding planning journey there were a couple important things we needed in picking a venue. The first was that we wanted to be near hiking trails and a waterfall. The Inn at Taughannok Falls completely exceeded these expectations. The waterfall is SO close and absolutely gorgeous. We probably walked down to it 10 times in three days.. (not to mention the amount of times we went to the waterfall overlook, which is also very close). The next important thing for us was having plenty of accommodations for our guests because they were coming from all different areas. The Inn has gorgeous rooms and plenty of them between the four different buildings on the property. Our guests absolutely loved their rooms, the views, and the property.

The Inn property is absolutely gorgeous. When we initially visited the property the renovations were under way. When we came back to do our tasting, they were complete. And the result is absolutely stunning. The outside space around the Inn and the wedding garden/patio are beautiful and spacious. There was plenty of room to hold our 'Welcome Drinks' on Friday night. The fire pits throughout are great spots to sit and congregate. You could hang outside for hours and hours. The views from the property of Lake Cayuga are amazing. The property also has such an easy and convenient access to the park and trails of the waterfall. It's the kind of place you never want to leave!

The staff was absolutely amazing. We had originally planned to hold our ceremony outside by the small falls in the park, but rain thwarted that plan. They had back up plans in place that made everything go off perfectly. Our ceremony in the tent over looking the lake was beautiful. Everyone was so helpful and kind throughout the whole crazy weekend. I felt like we did not have to worry about a thing and everything would be under control. A very comforting feeling during such a hectic weekend. Kenzie was amazing and helped our dream wedding become a reality. All of the tiny details were attended to, right down to the type of sprinkle on our donuts! We really felt as if they heard and understood what we wanted and they made it happen.

The food was SOO delicious the whole weekend. We could tell right from the tasting that chef really understands and cares about his food so much. My husband went with the vegetarian option at the wedding and he isn't even a vegetarian! That's how good it is. They also gave us some choice in making changes and customization to the dishes on the menu. From the appetizers during cocktail hour to the dinner at the reception, everything was amazing. And the best part, we were able to do donuts instead of a wedding cake. The donuts were so good I can't say how many my husband ate! The food at a wedding is very important to us and they absolutely nailed it.

We held our cocktail hour and reception inside of the Inn. We had about 75 guests and a band. There was plenty of room for dancing! The Jones Room and the bar are great spaces for people to hangout who maybe don't like to dance. We felt like the inside had plenty of space. It was a concern of ours but it turned out to not be an issue. All the rooms provided plenty of space. And the outside porch/patio was great. There was also plenty of space for the after party in the Hillside house.

I can go on for hours about how amazing our wedding was at The Inn at Taughannok Falls. The property, the staff, the location, its all fantastic. If you are looking in the finger lakes area for a wedding venue, or really anywhere, we could not give the Inn at Taughannok Falls a higher recommendation.
