Catherine Sent on 01/08/2024Best View + Value in the Finger Lakes
We had our wedding reception at Once and cannot speak more highly of the team there! The owner was always quick to answer our countless questions via email or a phone call. We live 6 hours away from the venue, so this was invaluable to us.
The bar service Once provided was fantastic, and our specialty cocktail was a hit! We really lucked out with the weather, so the tent overlooking the lake was the most beautiful setting for the night. They also made all vendor communication seamless, and allowed all of our key vendors to come see the space, answer questions about power, noise ordinances, etc.
Overall, I think the value Once provides is extremely hard to find in the Finger Lake region. The team there is top notch, and we are so happy we went with Once to host our reception. -

We had the most wonderful experience for our rehearsal dinner! We were able to celebrate outside on the deck with absolutely beautiful views, which made the evening feel so special and memorable. The entire planning process was incredibly easy, and the staff and team were amazing to work with from start to finish.
Everyone was so kind, accommodating, and attentive to our needs, and they made the entire evening feel effortless. The food was delicious, our guests had a wonderful time, and the setting could not have been more perfect for kicking off our wedding weekend.
We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our rehearsal dinner such a beautiful and stress-free experience. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful venue, great food, and an incredible team! -

Perfect Rehearsal Dinner Venue!
My husband and I used Once Finger Lakes for our rehearsal dinner and it was amazing!! It rained so they set us up in their tent and it was so cute inside with string lights, music and outdoor games-it was absolutely perfect!! Everyone loved the food and the service that night was fantastic!! The owner Antonio had been my contact for months while planning this event and he was always so kind and understanding and it always felt like he was really listening to me and taking into consideration my thoughts and ideas. We could not have asked for a better night before our wedding and I 100% recommend this beautiful venue!! -

Rebecca Sent on 01/02/2024Flawless Experience!
My husband and I held our ceremony and reception here in the middle of October. The weather was not what we pictured for a fall wedding. It was cold and rainy, so we had to completely change plans for the ceremony to be held under their tent. Even the clouds and rain drops couldn’t hide the spectacular view of Seneca Lake. The entire evening went off without a hitch. Yvonne is a dream for any couple looking for a stress free, amazing experience. We did all of our planning from about 3 hours away and we could not have asked for a more professional, courteous and accommodating team. She, and the owner, Antonio were always five steps ahead of us. Every detail was perfect and their wine selection is to die for. Not a single guest complained of a headache the next day! Highly recommend - you won’t be disappointed. -

The perfect venue!
We hosted a rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks for our son and daughter-in-law at ONCE Finger Lakes. The evening was perfect! The venue and views were beautiful, the staff did a fantastic job, and everyone enjoyed the food and the experience of tasting several fine wines from the Finger Lakes region. Many thanks to Antonio, Yvonne and their team for helping us plan our special event. They went above and beyond to create the personalized experience we were looking for. Everyone raved about the food prepared by Chef Samantha. We highly recommend ONCE Finger Lakes for your special event! -

Once was the best!
Antonio and his staff at ONCE Finger Lakes were simply outstanding. The tented area was perfect for our event. We had a beautiful view of Seneca Lake, were sheltered from the sun, and enjoyed a nice summer breeze. The service he and Yvonne provided was exceptional. His attention to detail prior to and day of the event made the event so much better. Literally all of my guests commented how nice it was. Thank you Antonio! -

Once was fantastic. They took care of all the details and set everything up perfectly as I had pictured it. Yvonne was the sweetest to work with and was so patient to help make my vision come to life. The day was perfect and the night even better. Great food and venue. Couldn’t have asked for a better location or people to work with to make it the most magical day! Thank you! -
