We absolutely LOVED the Lodge. The Venue is beautiful and unique and the staff is professional and experienced. Joelle (coordinator) and her team were amazing, they were on top of every single detail and helped make the day perfect. So many of our guests commented on the venue, how good the food was, etc., and that is not all that common in the wedding business. Would 100% recommend to any and everyone

Kathy and the entirety of the Glenora staff made our special day perfect. Not only did we have a bit of a unique wedding, but we also had to call an audible the day-of due to inclement weather. Kathy and the staff were so amazing and flexible, and they worked tirelessly to make sure that our wedding still went off without a hitch. The venue itself is breathtaking and almost looks surreal. The views will make for some of the best pictures we could ask for. The food was outstanding and drew compliments from all of our guests. All of the rooms were clean and cozy, and the cottage we stayed in was the perfect place to prepare for our big day. I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff, venue, and food was and I would recommend Glenora to anyone to make their wedding day truly special!

If you're looking for a venue that checks every box - stunning lakefront views, historic charm, luxurious amenities, and top-notch service - The Otesaga Resort Hotel is it! As a wedding planner, I always love coordinating here because the team consistently goes above and beyond. Brooke and Taylor are incredible to work with, helping make every moment magical for our couples. The convenience of having all your wedding events in one elegant location makes The Otesaga a standout choice. Their attention to detail and warm, professional service truly makes it a venue that I recommend time and time again!

We LOVED everything about our wedding at Emerson. Andrea and Mary (and their entire staff) are incredible. And so accommodating! We were able to mix and match on the menu, and they brought in the specific wines and beers we requested. They made sure our signature cocktails were made correctly, and we loved the after dinner passing of the espresso martinis (served in a more spill proof receptacle). We’ve received numerous compliments about the food and service. The venue itself is a gorgeous blank slate that’s climate controlled (which was also very important to us). We have absolutely zero complaints, and we would have our wedding there again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I got married here in June and we couldn't be happier with the day. We live out of state and had quite a few people traveling, so a hotel venue was ideal for us, and planning everything via e-mail and phone was made really simple with Christina! As others have said, she goes above and beyond to make your vision come to life which, for us, included working out the table linens and dinnerware with the rental company Shabby Sisters (we didn't have to talk to them once). It was perfect for our guest count of 65, and I wouldn't recommend weddings of 100+ guests due to the size of the reception space. The venue was extremely flexible when I went back and forth on a few of my decisions and asked if we could have a few things customized. The full open bar was totally worth it and they made our signature cocktails so delicious! We absolutely loved having the full barn suite for the weekend to house some of our wedding party, get ready in, and hang out in throughout the weekend - it was worth every penny. We were given the Paris Room to stay in which felt so peaceful and secluded. Christina and staff did an excellent job running the events all weekend and made it so I didn't have to make any more decisions upon our arrival. Many of our guests made sure to tell us how great the staff, food, and venue as a whole was. We even had a few people hike the Buttermilk Falls trail the morning of the wedding! We would have loved even more time to hang out and enjoy everything. Overall, we were so happy to see our vision come to life with the charm of the lovely La Tourelle venue as the perfect backdrop.

We had the best experience either the turning stone. So easy to work with and loved everyone we worked with. Made my dreams come true and everything was better than I could have imagined. Highly recommend

We got married at The Hill Top Inn on 9/23/23 and we couldn't be happier! We live in Texas, and could only visit NY once before the wedding. The owner, Mike, was so welcoming and accommodating during our visit, with an informative venue tour and a delicious and fun menu tasting. During the planning process, I mostly worked with the event coordinator, Kassady, who was always responsive to email, sweet and enthusiastic, and so creative with her ideas for style and using the space! I truly feel like I barely had to do any work, and as an out of state bride it was such a relief to arrive in NY for wedding week and know that the Hill Top team had it all under control. The staff went above and beyond in every aspect of the day, and during the planning process. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all great. Even with unexpected rain, the Hill Top crew made sure our whole day went off without a hitch. Our guests were very happy and had a great time, plus the scenery and deck is to die for, even on a rainy day!

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.

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.

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!
