Best View + Value in the Finger Lakes

We had our wedding reception at Once and cannot speak more highly of the team there! The owner was always quick to answer our countless questions via email or a phone call. We live 6 hours away from the venue, so this was invaluable to us.

The bar service Once provided was fantastic, and our specialty cocktail was a hit! We really lucked out with the weather, so the tent overlooking the lake was the most beautiful setting for the night. They also made all vendor communication seamless, and allowed all of our key vendors to come see the space, answer questions about power, noise ordinances, etc.

Overall, I think the value Once provides is extremely hard to find in the Finger Lake region. The team there is top notch, and we are so happy we went with Once to host our reception.

Flawless Experience!

My husband and I held our ceremony and reception here in the middle of October. The weather was not what we pictured for a fall wedding. It was cold and rainy, so we had to completely change plans for the ceremony to be held under their tent. Even the clouds and rain drops couldn’t hide the spectacular view of Seneca Lake. The entire evening went off without a hitch. Yvonne is a dream for any couple looking for a stress free, amazing experience. We did all of our planning from about 3 hours away and we could not have asked for a more professional, courteous and accommodating team. She, and the owner, Antonio were always five steps ahead of us. Every detail was perfect and their wine selection is to die for. Not a single guest complained of a headache the next day! Highly recommend - you won’t be disappointed.

The BEST wedding/rehearsal dinner coordination

We are so excited to have our rehearsal dinner here. Antonio is the most responsive, helpful and kind vendor we have come across and are so excited to see our conversations come to life. Booking this venue is one of the decisions I feel best and most faithful with when it came to our wedding planning! Book, book, book!
