About

The Plantation Party House is a wedding venue located just 20 minutes from downtown Rochester in Spencerport, New York. Situated on 25 private acres and flanked by a large multi-level deck, the banquet hall at this house is an ideal venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions in upstate New York. It has been operated by the Zamiara family since 1967, who focus on one wedding at a time to give it the care it deserves.

Facilities and Grounds

The recently redecorated dining room, bar area, and dance floor at this venue are neutrally colored, allowing them to work neatly with any color scheme. Ceremonies are often held in the gazebo on the grounds, where guests can be surrounded by the regularly maintained rolling lawns. Indoor facilities are air-conditioned, to ensure guests can remain comfortable. The banquet hall can hold up to 325 guests, with three of its walls covered in windows for an abundance of natural light. The grounds also feature a pond and landscaped garden, perfect for wedding pictures. A parking lot is situated close to the property for guests’ convenience. This venue is wheelchair-accessible.

Services Offered

Couples can expect in-depth support from the experienced staff here, in making their visions a reality. The team at this house can also provide table decorations, setup, and cleanup, as well as formally dressed wait staff for their reception. A personal wedding consultant can assist with the coordination and stay with you every step of the way. Celebrations are aided by the experienced maître d’, who manages each event from start to finish. A special sweetheart table can be set up for the couple to use at the reception, so they can get some time to themselves. A large oak bar is a permanent feature of the dining room for events to use at their discretion. This venue’s menus are flexible and can be customized to suit your wedding’s theme, whether you’d like passed hors d'oeuvres or a plated meal. The staff at this house is able to accommodate most special dietary requests.

Responsiveness to a Community Need

With a pandemic in the midst of our community, The Plantation Party House repurposed their operation very quickly to serve a fundamental community need. Quality meals prepared and delivered safely. After weeks of enjoying them, my wife and I find ourselves thinking this. What thing or event that hurts no one could we wish for after this pandemic is over that would allow us to order Plantation Takeout every Thursday going forward. Thank you for providing these wonderful meals and an opportunity for us to venture safely from our homes to experience some normalcy.

Best Venue for Post Wedding Ceremony

My husband and I chose the Plantation Party House as our venue after our wedding ceremony. Staff coordinators Zach and Sue were fantastic! From the beginning planning stages until our big day, they took care of us and made it look effortless by keeping everything running smoothly. They were very attentive toward my husband and me.
The food was outstanding and the decorations were beautiful and elegant. The staff made us feel at home and took great care of us. Even after six months, we still have guests telling us that it was one of the best wedding receptions that they have been to in years! It was a pleasure to work with Zack and Sue. I highly recommend them and the Plantation Party House.

Absolute Perfection

We absolutely loved everything about The Plantation Party House! Zack was perfect! He had everything in perfect order when we arrived and was everywhere we needed him to be on our wedding day. Just amazing! Communication before our reception with Sue was very good and she answered all of my questions quickly. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful!! All of the staff was great ... we couldn’t have asked for anything better! We were very impressed! That day was perfect day and a perfect start to our life together!

Fantastic service

Our experience at Plantation Party house was wonderful. Sue and her staff were easy to work with and accommodating. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. However I cannot say enough about how amazing Zack, our maitre d, was the entire day. My daughter's wedding was there 9/15/19 and although we had planned for an outdoor ceremony, at the very last minute the weather did not cooperate. Zack gave us options, allowed us time to process and come up with a plan B. Twenty minutes before the wedding was to start, he arranged the reception hall into what turned out to be a beautiful wedding. He handled every detail and made certain everything ran smoothly. We did not feel like we were just another wedding, but rather Zack demonstrated personal attention to our needs. We were able to relax and just enjoy this special day.

Best day ever!

We absolutely LOVED the Plantation Party House! Our wedding day was so special. The maître d, Zack, kept our day running smoothly. ***We truly were stress-free on our wedding day.*** I'm not sure how many brides or grooms can say they've felt that way. Sue was fantastic to meet with and plan out the menu, timeline, and details of the day. She stayed within our budget and it was still a magical day. Our guests loved the food and couldn't get over how much food there was. The food displays are phenomenal! Their staff was excellent. We had a blast on our wedding day and we highly recommend this venue to any future bride and groom. You won't regret it!

Outstanding venue

Sue and the staff were beyond great for our 10/7/18 wedding! We could not have asked for a better day. The weather cooperated which allowed us to have the ceremony outside on their beautiful grounds. We would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a personalized, stress free experience.

We Love the Plantation Party House!

As soon as my husband and I visited the Plantation Party House, we knew that it was the perfect place to have our wedding! The grounds are so beautiful and well kept, the gazebo is gorgeous, and the pond makes for amazing photos. When we first met Sue, she was very welcoming, and did a great job explaining the packages to us, and what to expect that day. They have so much experience with weddings that they made the whole planning part easy on us. We never once felt like just a client, we felt like part of the family and they made this whole journey special and personal for us. Sue did a fantastic job helping us stay organized and keeping in contact with us in the months leading up to the wedding. The wedding day itself was amazing and perfect. Zach was so friendly and personable and did a phenomenal job keeping us on track and helping the day move along! The food was amazing and everyone loved it! It was affordable for us and worth every penny! If we were ever to host a large event again, we would 100% use the Plantation Party House! I seriously can't say enough positive things about them and have already recommend them to several friends planning their weddings!

The Plantation Party house was amazing. We had our daughters wedding there 9/2/18 and we couldn't have been happier from our planning with Sue to the big day. The setting outside was spectacular with the gazebo and beautiful landscape. Our guests enjoyed the bar out on the deck. The food was top notch as well as the presentation. Zach was there to assist with the entire evening and made everything run smoothly. I would highly recomend the Plantation Party house to anyone wanting the best of everything!

The Plantation is a perfect venue for any party, but especially a wedding. From the breathtaking grounds to the amazing staff and the delicious food, there is no downside to this location. I always enjoy my time here and know that things will go smoothly when my couples tell me that they have chosen The Plantation for their wedding.
