FAQs

Question

Why are you getting married at The Lake House?

Answer

Canandaigua is derived from a Seneca word meaning "the Chosen Spot," which couldn't be more appropriate for this occasion. Since we both grew up in the greater Rochester area, we wanted to bring you all upstate to enjoy the beauty of the Finger Lakes region with us. On our first trip home from NYC together in 2021, we had lunch with Jacob's family at Rose Tavern and fell in love with the atmosphere of the Lake House, which was the perfect mix of our upstate New York roots with NYC design and style.
