    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!

    It was amazing to host our wedding at Glenora Wine Cellar. I couldnt reccomend it less to celebrate your big day there. Working with Kathy has been so easy and she was able to accomodate most of our suggestions.
