I am so happy I discovered this venue! The venue is gorgeous and Jackie and Danny were amazing to work with. It was amazing having the tent, chairs, tables, ceremony chairs, dance floor, lighting and bar already on site, that really took a huge burden off my vendor search. There is also a bridal suite on site that was perfect for getting ready in. Jackie and Danny had the tent, all the tables, and chairs set up and the site was beautifully landscaped. If I had to do this all over again, I would without a doubt pick the The Rosemary at Spano Lake!

The list of the vendors they provided were also so nice and responsive and easy to work with. They truly made our experience completely stress free! The farm has the most stunning sunset and lots of space indoors and outdoors for kids and adults to enjoy lawn games.

I don’t even know where to begin with how special the New Park Venue is! The suites are absolutely stunning and I loved how I got to spend my wedding weekend with the people I love most in one place. The forest where the ceremony takes place is breathtaking, peaceful, and magical. Your ceremony photos will be beautiful! The owner of the venue, Sara is amazing! She was very accommodating all weekend! She was also very calm, cool, and collected which in turn helped me be cool, calm, and collected which as a bride is all you can ask for! I also love that my husband and I can come back and stay in the same place we got married! I highly recommend New Park Event Venue and Suites!

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.

We are so thankful we were able to get married at Glenora. Kathy worked very hard to make sure we were able to get everything we wanted and needed. My guests are still raving about how much fun they had and was so nice to have it at the winery. We loved how much the winery supported us in the planning process. Tasting the wines for our selection was fun. We stayed the night of our tasting which was fun as well and also helped us gather information for our wedding website for our guests. Another perk to the venue, lots to do in the area for our guests. I did my own flowers (FiftyFlowers) & music as Apple Music to save costs. Kathy was super supportive of it all but lesson learned, you can't do it all yourself! My family was a huge help and was glad they all were staying on site so it was easy for them to help me, especially the flowers & getting all the little things ready. We had an amazing photographer out of Syracuse, Stu Gallaghaer, but every picture at Glenora was stunning. The willow tree, the vineyards in fall, the deck and the beautiful plants & lights, to the reception area with all the beautiful windows and natural wood. The views from ceremony were amazing! We feel so blessed. It sprinkled a bit as we walked down the aisle and Kathy was so calm it kept me calm & like she said, rain brings rainbows and sure enough we got a slight one during our vows. Like I've told everyone, the fees were amazing compared to other venues and the biggest cost was the food, which is typical anyways. We were at max capacity with around 140 people total including the kids. They were very kid friendly with lots of options for the plated kids meals. I loved that I didn't have to bring in a cater & that the salad was plated then we had the buffet. A lot of my guests could stay on site and many nearby, so lots of options. Missy the Inn's manager was also very supportive, especially when it came to room holds. She also helped us find a golf cart rental that was dropped off for the weekend since my parents and grandma rented the little yellow house on site and we also were able to offer it to our guests with limited mobility for the wedding. Kathy recommended the toast and cake cutting on the deck before dinner and I should've listed to her and her expertise, everyone was having so much fun talking it was hard to get people to pay attention for the cake cutting, bouquet toss, anniversary dance and toasts. Another thing I loved was the dancing was on the deck, that way if people wanted to talk without load music it was easy to do. Plus no one was sweating, even at the end of September, which was nice to have the dancing outside. We waited 2 years for our September wedding and IT WAS PERFECT!
