The Warehouse NY 

5.0

Hornell, NY
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,500

Dating back from the turn of the last century, the nostalgic building at Opera House Lane is now the ultimate rustic event space. Whether you’re throwing a party for a hundred or four hundred of your friends, The Warehouse is the place where everyone fits in! With a bar clad in sheet metal and barn boards, incandescent style lighting, exposed structural beams, and original brick flooring, this space has endless character. Additionally there is wall of glass garage-style doors that lead to an outdoor stage and green space gathering area; The Warehouse is ideal no matter the weather. Situated in cozy Hornell NY, you may just feel like you’ve stepped into downtown Nashville when you enter The Warehouse!

We had my granddaughters 2nd birthday party at The Warehouse. It turned out to be a spectacular event! The Warehouse provided us with everything we needed to make it a special day. They arranged for a bounce house in the yard area in the back for the kids to play. All of the cutlery and china was provided for lunch and the menu was simple and easy for both parents and kids. All the kids had a great time playing together outside together in the bounce house and there was plenty of room for them to run about outdoors and have fun. I highly recommend The Warehouse for any type of party or family gathering you may be having. Plenty of room inside and out and the ambiance is great too. It's a cool place with a flair that you don't see very often these days.

We were the first couple to get married at The Yost Barn, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we set foot in this stunning venue in Rochester, NY, we were completely enchanted. The original wooden beams, elegantly strung with café lights, created a breathtakingly romantic ambiance. The two massive crystal chandeliers added just the right touch of glamour, while the pristine hardwood floors gleamed beneath our feet. Cocktail hour in the carriage house was an absolute highlight. The farmers' table display was not only beautifully arranged but also a feast for the senses. The charcuterie board was the largest and most impressive we’ve ever seen, and the food was simply delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly presented. The Yost Barn itself was a dream come true, meticulously designed with exquisite flower arrangements, stunning tablescapes, and a range of seating options including large king tables and elegant rounds. The bar was massive, ensuring that everyone enjoyed their drinks to the fullest. A special shoutout to Cara, the planner and designer, who truly brought our vision to life. From the impeccable table settings and escort wall to the thoughtful guest gifts and the rich, western-inspired colors and textures, Cara’s attention to detail was extraordinary. She captured our love for western vibes perfectly, weaving them into every aspect of the design. In short, The Yost Barn is an unparalleled venue with an unmatched combination of beauty, exceptional food, and superb service by Farmhouse Table Food. If you’re looking for a wedding location that combines rustic charm with a touch of elegance, this is the place to be. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect setting for our special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have been dreaming about getting married at The Gallagher for years and am not exaggerating when I say that my wedding on 9.28 exceeded every single one of my expectations! Jenna and Jenna took every bit of stress off my plate and handled every last detail of making my day what I envisioned it would be. Jenna helped my bridesmaids peel protective stickers off 125 champagne glass tags for our seating chart and then handled the rest from there - and of course, it turned out perfect. The house on the property is huge and absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect place to have our rehearsal dinner, get ready in the morning with my girls, and party all night long at the fire pit and pool table inside. My parents were able to bring their RV and park on the lawn behind the house so that our babies could sleep near us without having to stay inside the house with the wedding party. She even has umbrellas in the closet of the getting ready room in case of rain! The Gallagher is a 10/10 and I recommend this venue to any bride that wants to wake up on her wedding day and know that everything is going to be taken care of by people that genuinely want to see all your dreams come true!

Cobblestone Creek Country Club 

5.0

Victor, NY
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Cobblestone Creek Country Club is a wedding venue located In Victor, New York. This elegant property offers breathtaking views of the estate's landscaped golf club, lakes, and flower-lined bridges that lead up to the grounds. From the Course to the Clubhouse, Cobblestone offers a comfortable, family-oriented atmosphere for our Members and their guests to enjoy. It’s our people who make the difference, both members and staff.

Staff: Between our tour/food tasting and our wedding day, there was a change in staff and we ultimately lost our planner and day of coordinator. The manager of the club was the most helpful and genuine person we had worked with out of all our vendors. Cheol was extremely responsive, communicative, flexible, generous, and just wanted to do anything he could to make sure our day was amazing. Day of, our bartenders and servers were amazing and ended up dancing with us at the end of the night after taking care of us all day - they were SO fun and sweet! Food/Beverages: I cannot stress this enough - the food was INCREDIBLE! We struggled with narrowing down what we wanted because everything was just too good. We went with Filet of Sirloin with a merlot shallot reduction, chicken piccata, seafood stuffed sole, and a cauliflower alfredo - all were unbelievably delicious and guests are still raving about how much they enjoyed their meals. My husband and I got the Kings Plate so we had a little of everything and it was SO good. For appetizers during cocktail hour, we had a charcuterie display, meatballs, bacon-wrapped scallops, grilled cheese shooters, fried ravioli, and a stuffed risotto ball - all were loved by guests… I don’t think anything went to waste. The servers also made sure to set aside appetizers for us while we were busy taking photos so even though we didn’t attend our cocktail hour, they made sure we got to enjoy them! Our late night snack was in-house as well, and they made mini garbage plates which were a big hit! We wanted to make sure out of state guests had a glimpse of the Rochester garbage plate experience (it also helped soak up the alcohol from the day haha) The location: We fell in love with the grounds of the venue, as it’s on gorgeous golf course with bridges, fountains, rolling hills in the background, and lots of trees, so our fall wedding would be very colorful! I so desperately wish it hadn’t been so cold and rainy on our wedding day so it could have been held outside, but they have a room on the side of the venue for indoor ceremonies. The room is a bit on the smaller side, but did fit our 100 guests. Something I would have done differently is to have gotten an aisle runner as my veil did catch on the rug a bit (but didn’t fall out!) Decorations: The venue also has an inventory of decor that you’re able to use for your wedding day, most of which is free but there is a small fee for some items. I think the only thing we needed to pay for was renting chargers which was only 50 cents/plate. They also provided all the linen at no additional cost as well as the arch for our ceremony. The staff also does an inventory drop of any decor you have for the day of where you’ll walk through your vision of the day, and they will do EVERYTHING for you! This was amazing because I had a lot of decor that I brought in with not a ton of vision, just a vibe, and they took it and ran with it beautifully! Our guests were blown away with the decor! Overall, this venue had everything we needed to have an amazing day and they were so flexible and accommodating! We were able to create our own packages and negotiate on pricing - something I wasn’t sure was allowed in the industry! Our guests are still raving about how they had such an amazing time. Cheol has been amazing and we’ve still kept in touch.
