Best venue!

We truly couldn’t have dreamt of a better venue than Kuyahoora. We are from the area with lots of local guests. We wanted a venue that was unique and different than many people we know who have had local weddings. This was the first venue we toured and we knew it was the one. We actually went and toured another one just to have another option and Kuyahoora truly doesn’t compare to other venues. The moment you drive onto the property, you know it’s different. It truly feels like you’re far up in the Adirondacks with the entire vibe. The Lodge is indescribable. The whole design of it, people couldn’t even believe it. It’s the most unique setup we’ve ever seen and people still comment on how beautiful the entire venue was (almost a year later). The execution of everything day of was also incredible - best wedding food ever (reported by many!) and incredible set up and design the day of. It’s close enough to Utica where people can travel home or get hotels in Utica. However, there’s enough lodging that people who want to stay on site have the option to. Truly an overall incredible venue and I would recommend to any couple wanting the absolute best day that truly has that Adirondack feel. The best part is everything is on site if you want it to be (ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, lodging, food, etc!) Thank you to all the wonderful staff who made our day the best we could have imagined.

The Ultimate Weekend Celebration Venue!

As a wedding planner, I look for venues that combine beauty, hospitality, and functionality - and Kuyahoora checks every box. It’s perfect for full weekend weddings, retreats, or special gatherings. The team ( shoutout to Kim, Kim, Bri, and Emily ) is warm, professional, and helpful, ensuring every detail is taken care of. From elegant event spaces and cozy lodging to gourmet food and non-stop activities, Kuyahoora offers an unforgettable experience in a one-of-a-kind setting. I love recommending Kuyahoora to our clients because it’s always a hit!

The best venue!!

Absolutely stunning! We had our wedding at the Kuyahoora and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The venue itself is breathtaking with it being right on the lake, creating a perfect backdrop for our day. The attention to detail in the decor and the upkeep of the space throughout the weekend from their staff made the day so much easier on myself.

The staff were professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and it was so easy to communicate with all of them!!

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue, and we’ve received countless compliments on how beautiful and seamless everything was. We couldn't have picked a better venue!! We're so appreciative of everyone at the Kuyahoora that helped make our day perfect.

A dream location for a wedding!

I loved having my wedding at the Kuyahoora Lodge & Resort. It is a beautiful venue with spectacular views! It was so convenient to rent all the cabins around the Lodge so that many of our guests could stay and enjoy the lake and make a getaway out of our wedding weekend.

Simply the Best

The Kuyahoora Lodge & Resort was everything we could have dreamed of (and more) for our wedding venue. Hinckley Lake is a picture perfect setting, so serene and naturally beautiful. The additional cabins on the property made it easy for us to celebrate all weekend long with friends and family. Whether you’re out of town looking for a destination venue for your special day or want the destination feel without having to travel, look no further!
