The Ginny Lee at Wagner Vineyards Reviews

The Ginny Lee Cafe gave us a perfect wedding day. If we had to do it all again, we would 100% choose this venue.

Have you ever tried to plan a wedding during a global pandemic? We did, and thanks to Ginny it ended up being the most amazing day of our lives! From the very first day that we met with her, Ginny was excited for us, immediately started investing in our vision for the day, and had the organizational skills to make it happen. It is obvious that she has the experience of planning many weddings, since she was able to guide us on things that we hadn’t even thought of.
Ginny and Chef Mitch are a perfect pair! From the food choices, to the timeline for the night, everything was planned out in advance and went off without a hitch. Her staff was well trained and thoughtful, even providing non-alcoholic toasts for specific guests. The food was incredible, making it difficult to narrow down the choices for our meals. The grounds and scenery provide the perfect backdrop for pictures that will last a lifetime.
Throughout the ever changing Covid19 restrictions, Ginny kept us up-to-date as soon as she heard anything. She was willing to modify or postpone our event, if we wanted to, to make sure that we had our dream wedding. Her flexibility and communication throughout the process was exceptional.

Ginny, Chef Mitchell, and her staff were wonderful to work with while planning our wedding. Ginny is extremely organized and had several templates that were useful while finalizing the details of our wedding. We felt relaxed on our wedding day knowing that Ginny and her staff were behind the scenes managing the details of our wedding. We continue to receive compliments on how delicious the steaks were from our guests. The venue is incredible for pictures- our photographers traveled a distance to this venue and loved the sunset pictures, pictures in the vineyards, and pictures on the grounds. Compared to other venues near us in Western New York, the prices were about 1/2 the cost, without minimizing quality.

Ginny is amazing and so responsive, you really feel how much she cares. The view is hands down gorgeous and you can’t go wrong. Our guests have constantly told us it is the best food they have ever had at a wedding!

Ginny Lee is the perfect place to enjoy a good meal or host an event! And Ginny is AMAZING to work with!! She helped me plan a bridal shower luncheon & made the planning process seamless. Would highly recommend!!

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Ginny and her team and Wagners did such a wonderful job working hard to make sure everything went smoothly and the location was just breathtaking.

Ginny made the wedding planning process go so smoothly! There was no need for a wedding planner bc Ginny has this down pat! She is also extremely flexible and accommodating. We loved working with her and having our wedding here!

We just recently (April 21) got married at Wagner Vineyards and held, both, our ceremony and our reception here. I'm probably biased because it was my own wedding, but it was the most perfect wedding, thanks to Ginny and all of our amazing vendors. Ginny was absolutely incredible in meeting and exceeding our every need when it came to questions and was SO accommodating. We had a few meetings, everything was extremely clear in every single step and at any point if she sensed I was confused, stressed, or concerned she called me immediately to make sure we were on the same page. We didn't have to do any of the set up or clean up, just drop off and pick up of decorations and extras. Ginny was as particular as I was and her customer service was incredible throughout the entire process. We completely lucked out with the most beautiful day so far of 2018 to have our ceremony outside, but the set up of the chairs, all of the decorations I imagined, everything... it couldn't have been more magical. It way over-exceeded my expectations and I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking to do a wedding in the finger lakes.

The Ginny Lee made things so easy! They handled set up and clean up, worked with us every step of the way (even with a lot of dietary needs for our guests), and the venue is beautiful. We got tons of compliments on the space, the food, and even the quality of the open bar. Especially if you're planning from far away, we would highly recommend!

If you are looking for one place to cater to all your wedding day needs the Ginny Lee Cafe is the place you want to be. We held both our ceremony and reception at this location, they have their own chef who is extremely talented, Ginny herself sets up the reception decorations and runs your event and being connected to the winery the beer and wine selection for the bar was phenomenal. Ginny runs the cafe during the day and runs your wedding in the evening and she and her staff are fantastic at both. We loved every selection there was for our dinner options and their chef made it very difficult to narrow down our choices. If you are considering the cafe at all I recommend visiting the cafe for lunch because you will be sold right then. Ginny was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process and was very accommodating even through multiple questions and emails as I planned our wedding from out of area. She has a number of great vendors that she usually works with and we ended up using many of them which made the process even more seamless. The grounds are beautiful and with the ceremony at 5:30 in the evening you are guaranteed to get some great sunset photos with the vineyard and lake in the background. We would highly recommend Ginny and the cafe for a wedding that is stress and worry free.

My daughter's wedding was at the GL last week. Nothing could have been better, honestly! Ginny and her staff are stellar and everything was perfect. The staff are awesome, food was amazing, bar and bartenders incredible and the venue is spectacular. I highly recommend the Ginny Lee and the Wagner for your venue. Thank you all.

We can't say enough good things about having our wedding (ceremony and rehearsal) at the Ginny Lee Cafe at Wagner Vineyards. The scenery is stunning, with views of the vineyards and Seneca Lake (including a view of the sunset over the lake). Ginny was great to work with. She is very organized and responsive, and she and her staff did an amazing job on the day of the wedding. We received many compliments from our guests on the food, wine, and beer. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reasonably priced venue in the Finger Lakes region!

We recently had our wedding at the Ginny Lee Cafe and it was the perfect experience! We highly recommend this venue as it offered amazing views, a beautiful rustic room, outdoor deck and great food. Ginny Lee herself is the biggest selling point. She is super organized and makes the entire day go off without a hitch. We planned our wedding from a distance and she always responded promptly to my million emails. She and her team set up everything and cleaned up everything we dropped off. We received so many compliments on the venue and the food. All of our vendors enjoyed that Ginny had an organized timeline of events. After seeing many other venues in the finger lakes, we found this to also be a great value. And you cannot beat those amazing views, especially at sunset!

Our wedding at The Ginny Lee was amazing!!!! I could not have been happier with how everything turned out! Ginny is so great and so professional. She was really helpful throughout the whole process of planning our wedding, we live in NJ so a lot of my communication with her was through email, and she was so quick with her responses. Ginny and the staff did a wonderful job decorating the room and bringing the vision I had for our wedding to life. The food at the Ginny Lee is amazing, we got so many complements from our guests on the food. They were able to easily accommodate for any dietary restrictions (my husband needed gluten free options). The whole venue is beautiful, between the outdoor ceremony space and being able to take photos with my husband in the barrel room and in the vineyards. We had such an amazing and special day and we were so happy that we chose the Ginny Lee for our wedding.

Ginny and her Staff and the Ginny Lee Cafe at Wagner Vineyards was SO amazing! They were organized and extremely pleasant to deal with. Food was Fantastic. Ginny was so easy to get ahold of would responded to emails with in the day. They made my vision come to life with the set up and they did all of the take down. I had absolutely no doubt or stress about how anything would turn out!! Thank you so much!! :)

Words cannot express how PERFECT our wedding ceremony and reception were at the Ginny Lee Cafe at Wagner Vineyards. Ginny was amazing to work with - promptly answered any and all questions we had, she was extremely well organized, and was fun yet professional to work with. If you want the wedding of your dreams, as another reviewer mentioned, stop looking and go with the Ginny Lee Cafe. Not only are they very affordable for the amount and high quality services they offer, but they are a joy to work with.

The location, first and foremost, was to die for. Everyone was very impressed with the scenery of the vineyards, cafe, and location overlooking the lake at sunset, and people are continually remarking on this to me. Having access to such stunning views really enhanced our wedding photographs. Next, the food is equally amazing and impeccable! Everything was served promptly via a buffet - the food was exquisite, tasty, and unforgettable. There was no shortage of food, and everyone's food tastes/preferences were accounted for. I've been visiting the Ginny Lee Cafe and Wagner's for many years now (since I was able to walk and talk!), and have always been impressed with their professionalism in running the brunches and other events, as well as the quality of the food, so I knew we would be able to count on them for the wedding. And last but not least, Ginny and the staff were amazing to work with! They ensured that the night ran smoothly, without issue or interruption, as well as setting up the cafe exactly as I had asked for, and where I gave them no specific directions, they set it up perfectly.

Overall - we HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend the Ginny Lee Cafe for a wedding! Our guests were highly impressed, and we are over the moon with how the wedding ceremony and reception went! There wasn't a single issue the entire evening. This will be in our memories for forever as a perfect wedding day.

If you want the wedding reception of your dreams go to The Ginny Lee. The venue is fantastic from the view (inside and out) to the food to the price. They set the decorations up for you and take them down making that part of everything that much easier. You have enough stuff going on, not having to worry about it getting set up the way you wish is a huge weight off your shoulders. Doing a taste test had to be one of the hardest things we did in all of our wedding planning as all of the food was amazing. The place is super cozy and everything looked amazing. The staff were all phenomenal and put up with a lot of obnoxious behavior from the grooms’ drunk fraternity brothers. And the best part: Ginny herself. She was tremendous to work with. As with most people that probably go to book the venue it was our first time so we didn’t know anything. She has a packet full of vendor information and schedules and food options that is a huge help in the planning process and she took a ton of time answering our questions. Then came the big night. Ginny was there beginning to end to make sure everything went smooth and it did. The bride even said after how amazing it was that she was not stressed out at all. This is definitely a 5-Star reception area and should be at the top of your list of places to check out for your reception. If I could give it 6 Stars I would.

My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better place to have our ceremony and our reception. From the moment we met with Ginny to look at the venue and ask our questions, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The whole staff was great to work with, but we can't say enough about Ginny. Whenever we had a question or concern, we heard back from her immediately. Our wedding day went so smoothly and we really think a big part of this was due to her.
For our reception, we went with the buffet option. Without prompting, we have had several people tell us our food was the best wedding food they have ever had, even over weddings that have had served meals.
We had our ceremony outside and the view was gorgeous. If we could get married all over again, we would definitely still choose Wagner! We highly recommend!

SO IMPRESSIVE. Ginny was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. We dropped all of our decorations and supplies off a few days before the wedding, and showed up to our reception with everything perfectly decorated without lifting a finger. Over a month later, guests are still talking about the tasty food, the super fun bartenders, and the gorgeous view!

Beautiful venue inside and out!!! The food was great and I received many compliments from guests. Ginny was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. She is very organized and her staff are very efficient. I felt very comfortable and relaxed on my wedding day having Ginny there. Thank you

Ginny and those at Wagner Winery and Ginny Lee Café were amazing. Always responded to emails. Would contact my vendors if I was having trouble contacting them and made sure that our day was special. They made sure the event happened without any glitches and always had a backup plan in case something were to go wrong. (which thankfully nothing did!) The chef was absolutely fantastic. Even came out to cut the carving station himself! I would tell anyone interested in a winery wedding to go there!

Having our wedding at the Ginny Lee at Wagner Vineyards was the best decision ever! All of our guests said it was worth the trip, with the beautiful background for our ceremony in the vineyards and the amazingly delicious food that no one could stop talking about. The space felt perfect for the 125 guests. We had a beautiful day in June, a perfect sunset, and although it did get hot after dancing, people enjoyed heading out the deck for some fresh air. Ginny was always quick to respond, always prepared and organized. It really made a difference, and we felt great leaving things in her hands. The staff was also friendly and helpful. Chef Mitchell did such a good job with the food, listened to our ideas, worked with our budget and really delivered. Although we didn't get to try the hor d'oeuvres, they saved a plate of our cheeses and cake for us that we enjoyed later that night. Thanks to Ginny Lee and the team, we would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering a wedding in the finger lakes for the beautiful views, value, staff, and of course the food! Best regards, Sam&Nadine

This venue had everything I was looking for in a venue. It's a beautiful location with the most organized friendly and hard working staff. This reception site also offered a lawn overlooking the lake where you could have a ceremony- no additional fee. Ginny went above and belying answered all my questions and made sure my day went smoothly in every way! The best part was for the quality of service we recieved it was still reasonably priced and fit within out budget! I cannot recommend the Ginny Lee enough!

Having our wedding at the Ginny Lee at Wagner Vineyards was one of the best decisions we ever made. I can honestly say that nothing went wrong on our wedding day. The manager, Ginny, was very professional, prompt in her responses, and just overall amazing to work with. Ginny was very accommodating and tolerated last minute changes to our plans/ideas. The staff at the Ginny Lee was equally as amazing. Everyone was very professional and kind. They even brought us some of the cocktail hour appetizers while we were taking photos after the ceremony!!! The food was excellent and we received several compliments from guests on our choices for the buffet. Needless to say, The Ginny Lee at Wagner Vineyards exceeded my expectations. It makes me want to get married all over again just to experience the wonderful service all over again. Thank you Ginny and the Ginny Lee staff for making our day perfect!!!!!!!

Ginny was fantastic to work with! She was quick to respond to any e-mails or phone calls that I made. She assisted my fiance and I flawlessly in making our wedding day perfect! Any request we had, she fulfilled it. Every detail was done to a T. Our guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had!

Thank you so much!!!
