This was the perfect venue for our wedding! The Cortland Alumni House was simply fantastic in working with us. We work and reside in San Francisco, California so even though we were thousands of miles away, the Cortland Alumni House staff were still very accommodating - from us changing the scope of the wedding from 20 people to 100 people, to us using a caterer they were less familiar with, to us managing much of the decorations and music on our own. On the day of the wedding, the staff were so outgoing and friendly and willing to jump in wherever needed. We couldn't have pulled it off if it were not for the staff, amazing - not to mention that the house is absolutely stunning and the garden perfectly gorgeous!

Besides the house being absolutely beautiful, inside and out - the staff here made the wedding planning process a lot less stressful. I was planning from a distance and could only make a trip up to Cortland 2-3 times over the entire year of planning. Shaunna and LuAnn were always in constant communication with me, and even my other vendors. I cannot thank Shaunna, LuAnn and their team enough for all their hard work and dedication to make sure we had the most perfect day possible!!

My husband and I got married at The Alumni house on October 6,2012. Our day was more than we could have imagined. I am a professional wedding planner so naturally I take note of all aspects of an event- The Alumni House staff and Rich went above and beyond the entire planning process. We live in Cape May NJ so planning was difficult being long distance. Rich made sure that all details were taken care of which made us extremely comfortable. The house itself is absolutely stunning and the accommodations were wonderful for our out of town family. I would recommend this venue time and time again. Thank you Rich and staff for a day that we will never forget!!!!!!
