We had out wedding here August 2025 and had an amazing experience with this venue! The staff was excellent and our guests kept telling us that they'd made friends with them. We had the on-site lodging for immediate family and some friends, with about 100 guests in total, most staying in the area around the venue. We fit in the reception area with tables for all, tho it was a bit of a tight fit. Nothing I haven't seen before, though. We had dancing and cocktail hour on the porch, and all our guests enjoyed time on the docks taking photos. The food and set-up/break-down was easy and I felt so supported as a stressed-out bride. We love Cayuga shoreline and I could not recommend it enough!

We got so lucky finding this venue for our wedding in June 2024. The coordinator was amazing from start to finish. Our guests raved about the food we had at cocktail hour and the reception. Staff set up our decorations exactly how I envisioned for the ceremony and reception so it so I had one less thing to worry about. The price is perfect for anyone who wants a beautiful wedding without breaking the bank to make it happen.

Barbagallo's was the perfect place for my wedding reception. The food was excellent and the wait staff was very attentive and on top of things. They definitely made sure the bride was taken care of! Tammy is wonderful to work with and make sure your reception is perfect. Barbagallo's also has a wonderful "deluxe package" that includes the cake made by Geddes Bakery, cake cutting and serving fees, and floral centerpiece rental. The centerpieces were beautiful and the cake was so delicious!!! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't go anywhere else!

My fiance and I toured this venue a few month ago and fell in love! It was a cloudy day and the venue was still just as beautiful as ever. We are beyond excited to have our wedding there. Sara was so kind and helpful through the whole process. Can't recommend checking out this venue enough!

We had our wedding in July 2024. Our ceremony at Bayshore was perfect followed by the reception at Lake Ontario Conference Center where fun was had by all. Working with George and Annie, the coordinators, allowed for a seamless process from start to finish. We looked at about 4-5 different venues but quickly realized this was the best option in terms of service, being able to hold our ceremony by the water, and have the benefit of the modern, clean & inviting reception space attached to the hotel for convenience. If you are still considering venues, be sure to at least tour Bayshore and the Lake Ontario Conference Center as the value you get in pricing, quality of food and overall professionalism with this team is better than other venues in Central New York.

Bayshore is by far the most beautiful venue I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of weddings. The attention to detail for each event is nothing short of amazing and it places this venue head and shoulders above the rest.

Maria, her daughter Briana, and the Valentino's staff were amazing for my wedding reception. They answered any questions I had, they made me and my husband feel very comfortable in all of the decision making, and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a professional staff and a fabulous reception venue. The reception looked absolutely beautiful and I heard only positive things from my guests about how wonderful the night was. Would go here again for any other events I have in the future.

Where to start? There is something to be said for an all inclusive venue. There were several menu options depending if you wanted a sit down service, buffet, or stations and then each of those options came with different selections for main course, side dishes, pastas, salads, etc. The appetizers were delectable and were both stationary and passed with the staff doing a wonderful job circulating so all our guests had the opportunity to partake. The food was delicious and plentiful and everyone was able to find plenty to eat. There was an open bar included in the price and we had a signature cocktail that was excellently prepared with their own flourish that had rave reviews and was expertly prepared by the perfect number of bartenders. We were in the smaller dining room which felt like the perfect size for the number of guests we had without feeling stuffy or crowded. The grounds are gorgeous and we liked we had the opportunity to have the ceremony and reception all in one location. We also loved that they have options for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies and the opportunity to go out onto the course for photos with a complimentary golf cart and driver. There is a gorgeous bridal suite to get ready and the grooms suite is on the bottom floor to make sure we don't accidentally run into each other ahead of time. There were snacks and drinks to munch on and enjoy while getting ready and it created such a relaxing atmosphere. All this is included in a single price per person and comes with a wedding coordinator, Rochelle. She was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, accommodating, and a wonderful problem solver whenever needed. We were able to drop off our decorations and center pieces ahead of time for her and her team to set up so on the day of the wedding we were able to relax and prepare without having to worry about all the little details. She took care of everything and was a wonderful asset to have on our team. She hired a fabulous team to work with including Ryan who was always on hand to help with anything we desired and the wait staff was friendly and knew what they were doing. We had the perfect day thanks largely to Rochelle and her team and the guests couldn't stop raving about how fabulous everything was.

Our Galaxy theme wedding dream was brought to life by the team at the Riverdale. Venue was absolutely gorgeous and the lighting venue has really made the theme pop! Lisa, the events manager, was a dream to work with. Highly recommend!

Can’t love on this place enough! From start to finish this venue and the people who run it were amazing. Brooke, the owner & wedding coordinator made my day run so smoothly & literally made my vision come to life. Beautiful outside ceremony & reception. I couldn’t be happier. I want to relive the day over and over! The food was unreal! All my guests were raving about it. Staff was so nice and helpful. 10/10. I am one happy bride!!!
