Highly recommend!!

Shadow Lake was incredible to work with. Ryan was incredibly organized and helpful throughout all of the planning stages and day of. She was quick to respond will helpful answers. Even through some unexpected rain on the day of, she was a calming presence for us with a back up plan ready to go that turned out gorgeous. The staff was incredible, and handled the decor beautifully so we had nothing to worry about and could really enjoy our day! The venue is stunning and the food was incredible. No matter which meal our friends and family chose, they all said how amazing their meal was. Ryan and the staff at Shadow Lake helped to make it the perfect day for us and we could not recommend them more!!

Everything we wanted!

Finding a wedding venue was difficult for us since we were planning our wedding from out of town. We initially started looking for places in the Finger Lakes, didn't find anything that had everything we wanted and started looking around Rochester.

We wanted a venue that could accommodate our ceremony and reception to make it easy for our guests, and we wanted an outdoor ceremony to highlight the fall foliage.

The ceremony site at Shadow Lake is absolutely gorgeous, you cannot even tell you are on a golf course. It is so easy for the guests to then immediately enjoy cocktail hour and then reception immediately following. We took our wedding pictures right at Shadow Lake as well (our photographer knew of a spot across the parking lot that was away from the clubhouse and looked like we were in a forest).

The inside of Shadow Lake is modern, classy, and clean. The food is all phenomenal. Ryan Carbone is an absolute gem of a human, and our wedding would not have been what it was without her.

If you're planning a wedding in the Rochester area, definitely check out Shadow Lake!

Everything you want

My husband & I looked at several venues but nothing really felt right until we walked into Shadow Lake. Ryan Carbone, Bridget & rest of the staff are hands down the best people in the business. From the delicious food to stunning space, people still are talking about it & complimenting us on such a wonderful party. We owe it all to the fabulous people at Shadow Lake. They do it all- top to bottom which allowed us to fully celebrate with our family & friends. Thank you so much to everyone at Shadow Lake for going above & beyond to making our dream wedding come to life!

Beautiful Venue. Amazing Value.

As a wedding planner, Shadow Lake is one of my favorite venues to work with! Ryan is truly amazing at what she does. She is responsive, flexible, and always willing to make my client's wedding day truly wonderful. In my opinion, Shadow Lake is one of the best values in Rochester as far as wedding venues go. You get amazing food, a beautiful space, and attentive staff for an extremely competive price. And with a beautiful tent or the large window ballroom, there is a good option for just about any signature wedding style. I would highly recommend Shadow Lake to any couple looking for their perfect wedding venue.

Shadow Lake was amazing!! I had my bridal shower here a few weeks ago and cannot give enough of a positive review. Ryan was our event coordinator and she had everything perfect. She replied in a timely manner to emails and fulfilled our Bridal Shower wishes. Our room servants were Ang and Becky, without a doubt two of the nicest people I have ever met. All my guests raved about the food selection, how clean the space was and how friendly the staff was. Lets not forget the wonderful view!!! We were very happy with our experience at Shadow Lake and will be recommending to anyone and everyone.

Shadow Lake Golf was AMAZING. The grounds are stunning, the lake is the perfect setting.
We had our ceremony outside and the reception was in the garden tent. The food was incredible, the whole staff was on point, it was so stress free. Ryan Carbone is incredible at what she does. It was a total breeze.

We had a rainy wedding and honestly I was so calm and zen about it. We had back up plans in place but we ended up still having the ceremony outside. It started sprinkling towards the end but we made it and I am SO happy we did.

It was so so so so so easy to work with them. Every detail was executed perfectly.
We made the best decision having our wedding there.

Shadow Lake was AMAZING, Ryan was so easy to work with! Everyone loved the venue so much. The pictures were beautiful, the clubhouse was a perfect size, the ceremony was breathtaking, the newly renovated bridal suite was perfect for getting dressed, and the bar was perfect! I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else and I'm so grateful for the staff at Shadow Lake!

By far one of the best choices we made was to go with Shadow Lake. Ryan was beyond amazing and worked with us from Day 1 with planning. She would answer emails within a matter of hours to make sure everything we wanted was exactly what we asked for. As working in the wedding industry myself it was hard to step back with the planning and let Ryan take over. But she went above and beyond anything we could of asked for. A huge thank you goes out to Ryan and her staff. We are beyond thankful for making our special day everything we could imagine it to be! You can not go wrong with Shadow Lake!

My new husband and I had our wedding at Shadow Lake in October of 2017. Every single thing was perfect. We were passed through a couple hands between the beginning and end of our planning, but everyone we worked with (Ryan, Bridget, & Billy) was AMAZING. Our guests absolutely RAVED about the food. My new husband said it was the best steak he's ever had, and he wasn't the only person to say that. I had the mango relish salmon and felt the same way. The servers brought my husband and I new drinks throughout the night and a staff member asked us what we wanted to drink/eat when we started taking pictures after the ceremony. The views were gorgeous, the bartenders were friendly, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue in every way possible.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
