Perfect Winter Wedding!
Perfect Venue
The accomodations were spectacular, and guests really enjoyed their time at the hotel, and in the surrounding area.
The food was excellent, and all staff were a pleasure to work with; I received so many compliments from our guests about the food and staff.
Thanks for making our day so special, we really could not have asked for a better reception experience.
Wedding planner is absolutely fantastic
The food was absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection. My guests were extremely happy with their food and beverages!
The only complaint I have is about the late night staff, the hotel bar closed an hour earlier than planned/discussed and the staff kicked us out of the keuka room an hour hour earlier than planned/discussed. I’m sure if the wedding planner were present, she would have taken care of these mishaps, however it was late post-wedding so she had understandably gone home for the night. We made due and moved the party up to our suite which worked out fine.
Brittany is the best and I wouldn’t change my decision for the world. Every venue needs a Brittany!

Absolutely a beautiful Venue, I loved photographing there ! First, the guests suites are bright and airy creating a lot of natural light, to capture beautiful getting ready shots, the lobby area with its warm and inviting fireplace makes for intimate bridal portraits. The bar area is charming with lots of woodwork. Then the patio... wow stunning area for a ceremony, it was a bit chilly when I was there, so the patio fireplaces were lit for the guests. The harbor with the sailboats ...what a great portrait backdrop! Inside the ballroom the staff made sure everything was perfect, just as the bride had dreamed. Wonderful staff to work with, being a "vendor" sometimes we are made to feel like 2nd class, but we were treated just as the guests ! Thank you , Charlene Charlene Mann Photography
