Wedding of our dreams

Have you ever tried to plan a wedding during a global pandemic? We did, and thanks to Ginny it ended up being the most amazing day of our lives! From the very first day that we met with her, Ginny was excited for us, immediately started investing in our vision for the day, and had the organizational skills to make it happen. It is obvious that she has the experience of planning many weddings, since she was able to guide us on things that we hadn’t even thought of.
Ginny and Chef Mitch are a perfect pair! From the food choices, to the timeline for the night, everything was planned out in advance and went off without a hitch. Her staff was well trained and thoughtful, even providing non-alcoholic toasts for specific guests. The food was incredible, making it difficult to narrow down the choices for our meals. The grounds and scenery provide the perfect backdrop for pictures that will last a lifetime.
Throughout the ever changing Covid19 restrictions, Ginny kept us up-to-date as soon as she heard anything. She was willing to modify or postpone our event, if we wanted to, to make sure that we had our dream wedding. Her flexibility and communication throughout the process was exceptional.

Beautiful place for a wedding

Ginny, Chef Mitchell, and her staff were wonderful to work with while planning our wedding. Ginny is extremely organized and had several templates that were useful while finalizing the details of our wedding. We felt relaxed on our wedding day knowing that Ginny and her staff were behind the scenes managing the details of our wedding. We continue to receive compliments on how delicious the steaks were from our guests. The venue is incredible for pictures- our photographers traveled a distance to this venue and loved the sunset pictures, pictures in the vineyards, and pictures on the grounds. Compared to other venues near us in Western New York, the prices were about 1/2 the cost, without minimizing quality.

We just recently (April 21) got married at Wagner Vineyards and held, both, our ceremony and our reception here. I'm probably biased because it was my own wedding, but it was the most perfect wedding, thanks to Ginny and all of our amazing vendors. Ginny was absolutely incredible in meeting and exceeding our every need when it came to questions and was SO accommodating. We had a few meetings, everything was extremely clear in every single step and at any point if she sensed I was confused, stressed, or concerned she called me immediately to make sure we were on the same page. We didn't have to do any of the set up or clean up, just drop off and pick up of decorations and extras. Ginny was as particular as I was and her customer service was incredible throughout the entire process. We completely lucked out with the most beautiful day so far of 2018 to have our ceremony outside, but the set up of the chairs, all of the decorations I imagined, everything... it couldn't have been more magical. It way over-exceeded my expectations and I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking to do a wedding in the finger lakes.

The Ginny Lee made things so easy! They handled set up and clean up, worked with us every step of the way (even with a lot of dietary needs for our guests), and the venue is beautiful. We got tons of compliments on the space, the food, and even the quality of the open bar. Especially if you're planning from far away, we would highly recommend!

If you are looking for one place to cater to all your wedding day needs the Ginny Lee Cafe is the place you want to be. We held both our ceremony and reception at this location, they have their own chef who is extremely talented, Ginny herself sets up the reception decorations and runs your event and being connected to the winery the beer and wine selection for the bar was phenomenal. Ginny runs the cafe during the day and runs your wedding in the evening and she and her staff are fantastic at both. We loved every selection there was for our dinner options and their chef made it very difficult to narrow down our choices. If you are considering the cafe at all I recommend visiting the cafe for lunch because you will be sold right then. Ginny was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process and was very accommodating even through multiple questions and emails as I planned our wedding from out of area. She has a number of great vendors that she usually works with and we ended up using many of them which made the process even more seamless. The grounds are beautiful and with the ceremony at 5:30 in the evening you are guaranteed to get some great sunset photos with the vineyard and lake in the background. We would highly recommend Ginny and the cafe for a wedding that is stress and worry free.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
