Most amazing day!!
We had the best experience with Kristen from start to finish! From the planning Kristen was so quick to respond to my MANY emails/questions she was so officiant and helpful! To the day of she went above and beyond to make sure we had the most amazing day! She continually checked on us throughout the morning to see if we needed anything she also had amazing suggestions when I was not sure what to do with some extra decor I had. Everything went so smoothly she was so accommodating throughout the whole day and we truly appreciated her and the wait staff/bartender were also amazing. Everyone was so sweet we got so many compliments from our guests on the food, drinks and staff. We truly appreciated Kristen and the whole staff we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding/day!! Thank you thank you!!

Best wedding ever!
We had the absolute best experience working with Kristen at the Fallbrook House! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and helpful — every question I had throughout the planning process was answered quickly and thoughtfully.
Kristen made everything about our wedding day seamless. The rehearsal, setup, day-of coordination, and cleanup all went perfectly thanks to her. I dropped off our decor in bins, and when I walked into the venue, it was set up exactly how I had pictured it in my head, down to the smallest detail. She made us feel so special every step of the way and truly helped take the stress out of wedding planning.
The venue itself is stunning — right on the lake with both beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, especially the coconut shrimp, oyster bar, and filet.
We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator or a more perfect venue. If you’re considering having your wedding here, you’ll be in the best hands with Kristen and the entire team at Nolans!
We also had our farewell brunch the next day at Nolans. They were very accommodating and the food was amazing. It was the perfect end to a great weekend!

Dream wedding came true!
Kristen helped our dream wedding come to life with Nolan’s and the Fallbrook House. Their staff made setup and tear down completely stress free and easy for us. They helped everything run seamlessly with zero stress to us or our family members. We dropped off all of our decor the day prior with instructions of how we wanted it and when we arrived Saturday, everything was perfect. All of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. Amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing ambiance and venue!

Our son’s Rehearsal Dinner—just as I imagined it would be
I should start by saying that we are Italian and hosting a dinner with cultural features was extremely important to our family and traditions. Nolan’s was up front in saying that while they do not feature authentic Italian food, they can provide us with delicious options. I visited Nolan’s a couple times before the event to do a tasting and was quite pleased. The eggplant parm and baked ziti were great, as well as the grilled veggie medley and Caesar salad. We also enjoyed the flank steak. Instead of rolls, Kristen was able to accommodate us with Italian bread, making it like a home cooked meal at our house. Cannolis, cream puffs and eclairs were a hit. Jake, the bartender was so attentive to our guests. He was so personable and accommodating. Courtnei added her expertise for the details. I wanted the dessert brought out after the meal but her suggestion to display the gorgeous desserts opposite the entrees was the right move! It was absolutely beautiful! I could not have been more pleased. My husband shared that the staff was very cordial and responsive. Our guests commented that the venue was perfect for a rehearsal dinner. It allowed for bonding of the family with the wedding party which was an important aspect of the event. Most importantly, the bride and groom thought it was wonderful, as did the parents of the bride. I highly recommend Nolan’s for your event. It was everything I had imagined it could be!

Dream Rehearsal Dinner
We could not have imagined a more perfect rehearsal dinner and welcome party. The Fallbrook House at Canandaigua Country Club was a stunning event space. The food from Nolan’s was also everything we had hoped for and more. Our guests were so impressed! We had the oyster bar to start followed by self-serve stations and kept the pizza oven open for our welcome party that followed the dinner. We could not be happier with how it all turned out. Everyone was so pleasant and easy to work with - we would absolutely recommend this space to anyone thinking about hosting an event.

Beautiful, intimate venue right on the water
There’s nothing quite like this venue across any of the surrounding Finger Lakes. It was perfect for us. The space is beautiful by itself, yet flexible enough to make it your own. Kristen (coordinator) is an absolute workhorse and helped make everything run smoothly from the planning process to the day of execution. I was very thankful for her. Our guests were raving about the food- said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Sunset was 10/10. Overall extremely impressed with the venue and the staff. They really helped make our day perfect.

Wedding Day Sept 2024
Best day of my life and exactly how I pictured my wedding! The venue itself is gorgeous with indoor and outdoor access which allows guest to casually socialize all night. The space is amazing with door that open up on all sides to let the sun in. Kristen was a direct point of contact since the day I came to look at the venue- answering my (many) emails almost instantly. The food- 11/10 everything was so amazing- special mention for the Lobster Ravioli people are still taking about the amount of lobster in each plate. Overall amazing venue that you can really make your own!!!

June Wedding 2024
We cannot recommend the Fallbrook House enough! It was the perfect location for our June wedding. Kristen was the most helpful wedding planner and day-of coordinator. We had to use a small tent for the ceremony due to the rain, but it was so intimate. The day became sunny and beautiful later, and it was so picturesque on the water. Kristen made the wedding day stress-free as she was super organized and enthusiastic! This was everything that I could ever have asked for for a wedding day. :)
