The Trees' Estate

I cannot say enough about our experience at the Trees. The space is absolutely gorgeous. Somehow, while being elegant and historic, it manages to be homey and approachable. The natural atmosphere outside led to remarkable pictures and a beautiful relaxed meal and dancing outside. The kids still remember and talk about building a fairy garden next to an old tree. Leslie helped with everything from bouquet making to filling the flower girls baskets, to helping us find a person to support the ceremony which was at the Falls. She baked our cake and perfectly understood what we were looking for. More than the proprietor of a venue, Leslie is a multi-talented gateway to everyone worth knowing for a wedding in Ithaca, which made life so much easier. We stayed on site and we felt welcome and cared for in so many ways. If you’re considering a wedding here, and you’re looking for comfortable elegance and gorgeous nature, you have found the place.

We reached out late one night after coming across The Trees and got an immediate response back. From the first moment, we knew this was the perfect match for us. We went to see the estate and were blown away with the magic of the place and knew instantly this is where I wanted to get married. We didn't even check any other venues, because I not only loved the estate and the grounds, but Leslie made us feel at home and in great hands. She was so incredibly easy to work with, willing to help with as much or as little as I requested. I put all my trust in this woman we had just met and I couldn't be happier. She was always available to text, call or meet up during the planning process, which eased my mind greatly. She had me feeling so calm going into the big day. Once the wedding came, her and her team were just simply incredible. The menu sounded good, but I had no idea how amazing it would be. I still have my guests saying it was the best food they've ever had. The only regret I have is that I didn't have her do a cake, because we aren't cake people, but after trying her food, I know it would be incredible. We stayed from Friday to Monday and what a treat it was to have our families stay together, resulting in forever memories. The house is beautiful and the grounds are so fun. My group especially loved the firepit, which we sat around telling stories from the time we got up until we went to bed. The whole trip was absolutely magical. If you are looking for amazing food, an easy team to work with and a vibe that has your guests "how did you find this place?!", this is your place and Leslie is your girl!
