It was an absolute pleasure to work with the staff at the Inn on the Lake! We had our rehearsal dinner under the large tent out back the night before our wedding, and the Inn on the Lake was incredibly organized, kind, flexible and attentive. I would recommend them to anyone, I wish I could have worked with them for the actual wedding too!

We had a wonderful experience at the Inn on the Lake. The only thing I wish we would've known is that because there is a bar right next to the outdoor tent, we had TONS of wedding crashers! People we did not know where out on the dance floor with us, posing for our photographer, and stealing cake! I wish we had been warned that this might happen. That way, we could have asked some of our guests to watch the entrance ways of the tent or we could have requested more staff from the Inn to monitor the issue.

The Inn on the Lake was the first venue we went to in our search. We looked at other venues, but our initial meeting with Elyse was a major factor in our decision since Canandaigua is a 5-hour drive from where we live, it was very important to have someone to help coordinate. From the start, I felt like I had known Elyse for years and knew we would work well together.

We wanted all of our guests being able to stay our wedding venue. The Inn has a great location near restaurants & breweries and was reasonably priced for the summer. The Inn had lots of spaces and conferences rooms for finishing craft projects and hosting the bridal party for hair & make-up. The Sand Bar was the perfect after-party spot!

While I wrote up some notes for Elyse to set-up the decor, I was completely blown away by all the careful consideration she took to make our day look beautiful. She found a way to incorporate so many of the details that I hadn’t fully contemplated.

While our tasting was good, the food on our wedding day was amazing! Our guests commented on the quality and taste of the hors-d'oeuvres, dinner, and cake, made by one of the recommended vendors, Cake Baby! The Inn was so flexible when it came to selecting our beers and signature drinks. My husband’s family is VERY Irish and we wanted Guinness on-tap (yes, in August)! The Inn secured a special tap for the tent to make it happen. Their attention to detail and flexibility were much appreciated!

Best venue in the Finger Lakes!

Our wedding at Inn on the Lake was absolutely perfect - everything we could have hoped for, and so much more! The staff was exceptionally professional, attentive, responsive to all requests, and came up with creative solutions to make our day special. We can't speak highly enough of Lori and her entire team's attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams!

The Inn on the Lake itself is a beautiful venue. However, what makes the Inn on the Lake a notch above the rest is Lori. Lori is in charge of the wedding planning at the Inn on the Lake and comes included when you book at Inn on the Lake. From, the moment, we met her through the entire process Lori did not miss a beat. She was helpful, encouraging, and thoughtful. Many people told us planning a wedding is stressful, but I can honestly say with Lori guiding us along the way we never stressed for a minute and actually enjoyed the process. We never had a worry in the world because any time we weren't sure how we would achieve something we wanted for our big day we would look at each other and say "Lori's got this we will just call her. I cannot recommend the Inn on the Lake enough and moreover the experience and chance to work with Lori. We cannot thank her enough for making a flawless perfect wedding day come to fruition.

It was an amazing day, the location was beautiful and everything was taken care of by the staff, I didn't have to worry about a thing that day! The ballroom was gorgeous, not plain looking at all like a lot of weddings I have been to. The only negative is my 13 year old sons rented tuxedo jacket was taken from the head table and we had to pay for a new one.

Elyse was wonderful! She was flexible with things that I wanted a particular way, and creative with things that I wasn't sure how I wanted. She helped me find a package that fit my budget and the number of guests I invited. I could tell that Elyse really wanted my wedding to be perfect for me, not just for the sake of her job or the Inn's reputation. I would absolutely recommend this venue!

Elyse is phenomenal. She is extremely knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond to make our day go smoothly. Elyse executed the ceremony and reception the exact way I had imagined it. She set everything thing up according to the plan. The food was exceptional. Our guests are still talking about it.

Brandi was absolutely amazing, she was always there for us, she was patient, she was the reason our wedding was amazing. I received so many complements from our guests about the inn, the service, the food, the ambiance and Brandi specifically. They were amazed at her level of service, kindness, and efficiency. Thank you Brandi!
