Our Fairy Tale Wedding

There will never be enough words to describe how absolutely amazing our wedding experience was at the Inn - from initial planning through to the actual day. A real life fairy tale come true.
My husband and I really had our hearts set on somewhere that did not accommodate weddings. So when we stumbled upon the Inn one day on a drive around the lake we fell absolutely in love. This was the first & only venue we looked at. The entire estate is beautiful, which makes this place perfect because literally the possibilities are endless. Big, small, personal more intimate wedding, they can do it all! The food is beyond words, the service is 5 stars and the team you will work with is the best of the absolute best. I would personally describe them more like family. Every staff member at the Inn was attentive, kind, & so accommodating. I could go on for hours, even down to gardeners & kitchen staff. Everyone was so sweet.
Our wedding planners were the BOMB! Tania-lynn & Kelsey!!! These two deserve a standing ovation alone just for all the hard work and dedication they put into our fairy tale wedding. You guys made all of our dreams come to life and we honestly could not thank them enough. These two have always been honest, transparent, organized, flexible & most importantly so thoughtful during every step of the process which means more than you think!
All of our friends and family have been to many, many high end weddings in their lives, and nearly a month later, they are all still talking about the wedding of the century!
The Inn at Taughannock Falls is PERFECT!!! I cannot recommend them enough!!!

Best venue we could have asked for!

When you go to the Inn the scenery speaks for itself. The view of the lake, the beautiful inn, the proximity to the falls, and the gorgeous tent. When my fiancé and I first saw the venue, we were sold. Luckily for us the food is even better than the views!!! I was a little nervous because we had three changes throughout our planning year due to staffing changes/turn over, but Tania-lynn is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! She got back to me so quickly, is extremely professional, and a positive voice of reason that I needed! I highly recommend using this venue, because it is truly a magical place to get married. Big shout out to the staff as well making our day absolutely perfect :)

Best day of our lives

We had an absolutely incredible experience at the Inn at Taughannock Falls! Our wedding planner, Tania Lynn, was phenomenal—she made sure everything leading up to the day and the day itself went perfectly. Her expertise and flexibility were unmatched, and she handled all of our requests with ease.

Staying on the property was such a treat, and being able to have the after-party there made the entire celebration even more special. Despite it raining all day, the wedding was still amazing! The rain stopped just in time for the ceremony, and Tania Lynn ensured it could still be held outdoors as planned. Everything was beautiful, seamless, and beyond our expectations.

We’re so grateful for such an amazing venue and team. It truly was a dream wedding, and we can’t recommend this place enough!

Incredible wedding venue

We held our wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls in August 2024 and had the best experience and most incredible wedding. The venue is stunning and the team executed the day perfectly. Our guests raved about how fun, well run, and picturesque the day was. The main bar in the tent lived up to it's billing and no guest ever had to wait for a drink! We couldn't recommend the Inn more highly.

Spectacular!

I really can’t say enough great things about the Inn at Taughannock Falls! The team here is top notch and made us feel so comfortable that we weren’t stressed at all day of! My husband and I wanted something a little different and the Inn’s response wasn’t trying to fit us into a normal wedding box it was absolutely let’s make it happen! The food here is excellent and we’ve had so many people tell us it was the best meal they’ve ever had at a wedding! They have an amazing team of preferred vendors that I just loved! It’s truthfully one of the most beautiful spots in upstate New York and the rooms are so comfortable. If you have any doubt about booking them for your event let this be your sign to go for it! They truly were worth every penny!

Fairytale Wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls

Words cannot express how wonderful this place is and how wonderful the staff are. They housed our entire family and bridal parties for an entire weekend and it was just magical. From start to finish, the staff at the Inn made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us constantly, did so much behind the scenes, followed up with us, made changes and accommodations to fit our every want and wish…just an incredible group of people, and an incredible place that we will remember forever.

Perfect Wedding Venue!

My wife and I got married here earlier this year, and absolutely loved every second of our experience. The team is experienced and made the planning process smooth and surprise-free. They were also very accommodating during our tasting weekend which gave us full confidence in their ability to deliver on our big day...and they absolutely did!

For the wedding weekend itself, we were able to have our close friends and family stay on site. This meant that those who are closest to us were never more than a 5 minute walk away, and made it a really positive experience for them as well. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful (both the setting for the ceremony which overlooked the lake and the tent where we had our reception) and the staff were all friendly and accommodating. We honestly would not have changed a single thing from the entire weekend and if you are considering The Inn as a wedding venue, I can assure you that you won't regret it!

An Elegant, Intimate Wedding Surrounded in Natural Beauty

We recently were married at this beautiful venue, choosing to host an intimate ceremony and reception for 28 guests using the "Micro Wedding" package. First, the location is truly astounding. Having been a college student in Ithaca, I was aware of the natural beauty surrounding the state park but was surprised and happy to hear that we could host our wedding ceremony outside at the lower falls. Thanks to beautiful weather, we did just that! Our photos were amazing and surrounded by vivid colors and elegant natural scenery. Our decision to have the wedding here was also made easy by the affordable and inclusive wedding package options, the one we chose included our photographer, Nicole Long who shot both engagement and wedding photos and was prompt, easily accessible, and great to work with. Second, we were put in touch with Jeannie who was our wedding coordinator/planner. Due to the fact that we live in the city, Jeannie was our on-side liasion and amazing to work with. She would schedule zoom calls, keep us on track, designed our programs for our ceremony, and even was able to wrangle some last minute props that we were able to use for our ceremony, which was a fusion of Hindu and Christian values. Jeannie is kind and supportive and does everything with a smile on her face. She was even able to organize a surprise balloon arch for me to take pictures with while my bridal party was getting ready. Third, the food was amazing! Chef Clem met with us personally during a tasting and helped us design the menu. My husband's family loves to critique food and is challenging to impress. We were able to design a unique, delicious, fresh, and individualized menu for our wedding that is far above any wedding food I have tasted, and they were raving about it! Everything from appetizers at cocktail hour right down to the combined flavors we had for our multiple tiered wedding cake was scrumptious. Fourth, we were very happy with the bar options, and were able to personalize many of the drinks and choices which added more detail to our event. The pricing of everything was reasonable and honestly within our budget and included food, drinks, cake, photography, a place to get ready, chairs, a table fit for a Pinterest Board, and kind, friendly wait staff who were lovely to all of our guests. Thank you Heather, Liz, Derek, Will, Maylin, and our golf-cart driver, Joe! You did everything with a smile on your face and everyone noticed.
The only feedback we wished could have gone smoother is the sound system. A lot of times the volume of music was either overpowering or too soft, and our plan for our dances to occur outside near a beautiful Gingko tree was foiled by the failed outdoor sound system. We ended up having our dances in the Jones room and all worked out because we were so happy with everything else, but I know my mother-in-law was a bit disappointed. Would just hope to have that fixed and checked for next time! Otherwise, this is a one-of-a-kind venue to host a wedding and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much! We love you guys :)

Amazing Wedding Venue and Team

We had our wedding at the Inn in June 2023, and we were so incredibly glad we chose it as our wedding venue. The new Enchantment Garden event space is beautiful, and we were sold after our first visit. We were planning our wedding long distance from NYC, but the Inn made the entire process really easy. We went up a couple times for the open house tasting and for a follow-up meeting. Tania-Lynn was our wedding planner and coordinator. She was absolutely amazing and made sure we had a seamless event. We were dealing with unpredictable rain forecasts, and Tania-Lynn was very reassuring and helped arrange a last minute tent rental to help cover our ceremony space. We were so impressed by the level of service the day of our wedding (especially the dedicated food servers who made sure we got to try all the amazing food!). Our wedding filled all of the guest rooms available and our guests were so impressed with the accommodations and beautiful scenery. We also had our after party at the Hillside residence which was the perfect space. We want to thank the incredible team at the Inn for helping make our wedding such a wonderful memory for us, our friends, and families!
