Imagine yourself celebrating with family & friends at one of the most picturesque locations in the Finger Lakes, where exquisite catering and meticulous service combine to create magical, memorable events. Host an intimately-scaled outdoor wedding on our lushly landscaped waterfront patio with the sun setting over Seneca Lake as your backdrop. Or celebrate in sophisticated style in our elegant Harbor Ballroom. Our professional wedding consultant will make sure that no detail is overlooked and will advise on the array of delicious dining options, from plated sit-down dinners to elaborate buffets. A professional wedding consultant guides the process every step of the way, from choosing the perfect blooms to selecting from various priced menu options. The hotels' expansive landscaped waterfront grounds and elegant interiors lend themselves to on-site ceremonies and extended celebrations making for true destination weddings.

Aside from the beauty of the lake and the hotel, this place did it all for us. Any extra things we wanted for the wedding or reception just needed to be dropped off and the event coordinators took care of the rest. The coordinator we met with was great with communication through email. We really enjoyed our dinner tasting - the food was amazing! The coordinators made the day run so smoothly. The room for the cocktail hour was set up wonderfully. Table settings are included with the package and the candles looked perfect. We felt secure in knowing we could easily move the ceremony inside with any weather concerns. The landscaping/greenery is so well taken care of, it looked fantastic for our ceremony outside on the patio. The hotel staff set up, serve, and clean up - it made for a very relaxing weekend. Our hotel room was incredible also. The hotel was generous with leaving little surprises and gifts for us when we arrived to our room. It was all worth the price.
