  10/10 would recommend!

  Emerson Park is an absolutely perfect place to get married if you want an industrial feel paired with a beautiful lake view and a wonderful staff. My favorite things about the venue were having two very separate rooms for cocktail hour and the reception, the breezeway, and the ability for guests to sit outside if they wanted. We ended up with a beautiful day in September, and about half of my guests sat in the rocking chairs or cocktail tables outside or mingled around the beautiful fountain and lake. Andrea was absolutely amazing and was with me through the entire process, no matter how silly the question. She met with me several times to make sure my day and decor were perfect....and they turned out to be! She worked so hard to make my day perfect and even delivered me a glass of wine at dinner. Her staff was also incredible, making sure to pay extra attention to me and my husband. We love Emerson!!

  Perfect Experience

  My husband and I were so impressed and grateful for the wonderful job Andrea and her team did at Emerson Park Pavilion. A&M catering was phenomenal; we got the eggplant, airline chicken, and fillet steak as our mains and all three were delicious (especially the eggplant!)! Andrea was very helpful with customizing the whole experience to fit our wishes and our guests need (i.e. allergies). From start to finish the planning and actually wedding was so well organized. Andrea also gave helpful suggestions to other local vendors. The venue itself is gorgeous with a wide variety of photo locations. It was a perfect wedding day. Married Sept 2023.

  Beautiful finger lakes venue that does it all!

  I can’t imagine a more beautiful scene than the flower fountain with Owasco lake in the background. Our ceremony was one from my dreams! The transition from ceremony to cocktail to reception is seamless. It’s great to have everything in one beautiful venue.
  Andrea from A&M catering was great to work with. We originally booked in 2019 for a 2020 wedding and ended up in August 2021. Andrea was there to answer our questions and help us every step of the way. She ran day of logistics which was great to have a coordinator built in to the venue.
  The food and drink that comes with the venue was amazing too. Our guests loved their meals, the signature drinks were great, and I ate so many appetizers!
  If you have a chance, book this venue. You won’t regret it!!

  Fantastic Experience! Amazing Wedding

  Not only is the venue huge and with a beautiful setting the staff and Andrea were fantastic to work with. Planning a wedding is stressful, especially during a pandemic but Andrea was very understanding and never pressured us and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams. The wait staff was kind and responsive and took care of all our needs. I recommend booking the both rooms at the venue because having spaces for both cocktail hour and the reception was awesome plus extra restrooms. The food was fantastic, we did family style which is a great option to allow guest to have more options! I am so happy we had our wedding at Emerson Park!

  Great experience with A&M Catering!

  We highly recommend A&M catering! My wife and I had A&M cater our wedding at Aster in Skaneateles in June 2021. A&M’s owner Andrea was very professional throughout the process and also very easy to work with. I felt very comfortable reaching out to her anytime in the process for clarification or to just talk through details. We ended up having a buffet service with food that was fantastic. Our tasting was also very helpful, as we left feeling comfortable that whatever food choices were made would be very good quality. A&M was very flexible with us in terms of selecting food options and making decisions along the way. There were a few major decisions (buffet vs sit down, alcohol, etc.) that took my wife and I some time to work through. Andrea was very patient with us along the way and made the process as simple as possible. A&M also handled all of the glassware orders and cleanup of their dishes, which made the cleanup process go much smoother. As a final detail, A&M’s onsite contact during the wedding made a point of making sure my wife and I were taken care of in terms of our own food and drinks, which was much appreciated during the wild wedding times. Thanks Andrea and the A&M Team!

  Dream come true!

  Emerson Park is the most gorgeous venue - both inside and out! Andrea, Michael, and the team at A&M Catering are the best in the business. Even during the pandemic, they helped us have our dream wedding!! Andrea is so kind, creative, and caring. She has the most amazing ideas, and she and Michael are the best team to make those visions come to life. Andrea and Michael were so accommodating in every single way. We had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, and Andrea and Michael never charged us any extra or changed any fees. Andrea and Michael are so honest, and bring such human compassion to their business! You will feel like you're having a casual, relaxing conversation with your new best friend when you speak with them. The pavilion is a blank slate that allows you to transform the space to accommodate your own style and vision. The catering is absolutely phenomenal! We have multiple tricky food allergies in our family, and this was accommodated from the start - at both the tasting and the actual wedding. As someone who hasn't eaten a restaurant meal in over 3 years, having a fully safe meal was a huge treat, and our guests never even noticed that anything was missing! Amazing!! We were so pleased that we could have a fun, beautiful, and SAFE wedding - even during the pandemic! Thank you for making our dreams come true, Andrea and Michael!!!

  Perfect lakefront Finger Lakes venue!

  We're so glad we found Emerson Park Pavilion! We had such a great experience working with Andrea. She was so accommodating and easy to communicate with — we had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID, and we felt so lucky to be working with someone so easy going and responsive. Rescheduling twice was daunting, but with Andrea's help it was no hassle at all. The venue is gorgeous — really a hidden gem in the Finger Lakes area! We were looking for a lakefront venue with both outdoor space for our ceremony and indoor space for the reception. This was surprisingly difficult to find in the Finger Lakes, but Emerson had just what we wanted. They have a beautiful lakefront lawn where we had our ceremony, an indoor bar space and outdoor veranda overlooking the lake, which we used for our cocktail hour, and then a large ballroom where we had the reception. We got so many compliments from our guests about both how perfect the space was and how great the food was. Someone even told us it was the best filet mignon they'd ever had! We looked at a LOT of wedding venues in the Finger Lakes area, and we were so happy to have found Emerson Park. It was everything we hoped for in a wedding venue. We highly recommend it in every way!

  Best venue ever

  BEST VENUE EVER. I can’t say enough good things about this venue and the amazing people running it. The food was amazing, there was so much room to move around and more importantly dance. They accommodated everything I asked and helped with everything which made the experience stress free. We had an amazing band and the stage was PERFECT. Not to mention the venue itself is stunning. I promise you will not regret getting married at Emerson Park!

  Best day ever!

  My husband and I got married at Emerson park in August and we had the best day! Everything about our experience with Andrea was wonderful. She truly made the entire planning process so easy and always made me feel at ease. Andrea was always prompt with responses and had great recommendations when I needed them. Our guests had a blast and several said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. All of the staff was so attentive and kind to our guests. Andrea made sure everything went off with out a hitch on our wedding day and I never had to worry about a thing, instead I was able to celebrate with all my family and friends. I would absolutely recommend Emerson Park for a wedding and would do it all over again in a heart beat!

  We LOVED Emerson Park. Best day of our lives! They are wonderful people to work with, everyone was so accommodating and the staff is outstanding! If a drink was empty or a plate was finished they made sure to be on top of everything. They whole day went so smooth, I am so grateful for them! And not to mention the place is gorgeous! It’s located right on the lake for a perfect backdrop for photos. All I keep saying is I want to get married again!! We actually got to attend a wedding the weekend after ours and be guests this time, it was so cool the place was transformed completely different from our wedding and everything was just as perfect!

  We got married at the Lansing Event Center in June, 2018 and have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience. The venue is beautiful and has plenty of space for everything you could want at a wedding. We had views of the gorgeous pond during our ceremony and reception, a large fire pit for s’mores, plenty of yard space for lawn games and for our guests to mingle and the large indoor space for the bar and dance floor opening onto the deck. Rene and Jamie were incredible to work with, responded quickly and were very accommodating. They truly went above and beyond to make this day perfect. All of the staff members were very nice and professional. The chef personally walked us through the buffet. The food was amazing, we had so many guests tell us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We found the pricing to be very reasonable and we loved that we could do the entire wedding there from start to finish to really make the most of our special day. The pond provided a gorgeous backdrop for pictures, especially when the sun started to set. There were so many details put into this day by staff at H&J and we have nothing but incredibly fond memories. We would recommend them highly and will definitely be using the company and Landing Event Center for any future events we have.

  H&J catered our daguhter's June 16, 2018 wedding at the Emerson. Andrea was very professional and helpful from day one inquiries to day of. activities and support The food was wonderful; and our guests raved aout about the food selections as well. We had looked for about a year in central NY for a quality facility and caterer and we couln't have been happier with our choice.

  We worked with Rene who was super professional, experienced and very accommodating to our needs and concerns. Our reception was Hawaiian themed and Rene had lots of great ideas to assist in making the event come off with style and class. Our group included several people with special food restrictions (gluten, dairy, Kosher, etc.). Rene and the staff were super helpful and flexible in making sure that everyone's needs were attended to. The venue was the perfect size for our group of about 65 on a beautiful summer day. The deck, dance floor, and bar area worked great. We hooked our laptop up to the large TV in the bar area and showed photos of our wedding that happened a few months prior to the event. Food was good too, as was the signature drink, prepared by the bartender. Photos of our family, out in front of the gazebo turned out nicely.

  My husband and I were just married at Emerson park on October 7, 2017. It was everything we have ever dreamed of. Not only is the view breathtaking but the food and service was exceptional as well. We received numerous compliments on the food, stating how delicious it was. We worked very closely with Andrea the whole time and she was a godsent. Andrea was extremely responsive to the endless emails I sent her, asking all kinds of questions regarding our wedding to places for rehearsal dinner in Auburn (since we were not from the area). I had to change things a few times and she was super helpful and kind with all the requests made. She made everyone feel at home and everything ran so smoothly. It was perfect because of Andrea and the help of all the staff at Emerson Park. You won't regret booking here!

  Emerson Park Pavilion was the perfect choice for our venue. I contacted many venues and Emerson was a clear pick. The Pavilion is a historic, renovated building right on the water located in the Finger Lakes region, it is simple and beautiful. Everyone was friendly and prompt, and H & J Hospitality made everything simple. The prices were clearly laid out and the venue included almost everything plus they provided optional upgraded rentals for things like chairs and linens. The food was exceptional, and we received many compliments on how great the meals tasted. We chose the family style meals which everyone enjoyed. Andrea was our coordinator and she was great, she was very friendly and answered all of my emails promptly. The only things that I felt there a lack of communication on were the tasting, and final payment. For the tasting, only the time, date, and location were communicated so I assumed only my fiance and I were expected to come. I was a little disappointed when we arrived and realized the table was set for six people and we could've brought our parents, they would've loved to have been included. Also, as I was scrambling to get things ready before the wedding I realized it was less than a week away and no one had contacted me for a final head count/payment or table layout. Nonetheless, I paid our bill in time and everything went perfectly on the day of. Neither of those hiccups affected our big day, and I really couldn't have asked for a more perfect ceremony and reception. The only other suggestion I can think of is that it would have been great if there was a bridal suite on the property to get ready at. The recommended hotel by Emerson is the Holiday Inn in Auburn, and the suite was not quite what I pictured getting ready in on my big day.

  The venue is beautiful and the service is top notch. Andrea, the coordinator is incredible! She worked with us for over a year (all the while having a baby), answering all of our questions, and helping to plan a day that would be customized just for us. Cannot thank her enough for her guidance and how she is able to offer advice from her many years of experience, while still being completely open and excited about your own ideas. The scattered thunderstorms the day of our event didn't throw her off one bit, she had the team ready to adjust everything at a moments notice which allowed our family to enjoy the day. The other staff at the venue are wonderful as well! There was never a line at the bar and food was delicious. Love the outside portico, which was perfect for our bourbon and cigar bar. Certainly very relaxing to be right on the lake.
  
  The only things that proved to be tricky were some mentioned their steak was a bit overdone (but all said the pork chop was delish!) and one of our busloads of guests was late to the ceremony due to traffic from a matinee at the theater. Hopefully they can work figure out a workaround in the future.

  I can't say enough good words for this place! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it! Andrea was sooooo helpful throughout the whole wedding process and really went above and beyond to make sure my vision came to life! The weather lucked out for us and we got some GORGEOUS shots outside. We had a few smaller children at the wedding. We were worried about melt downs, but thankfully the big space for outdoor seating and yard took care of that! I'll never forget seeing my family SO happy and playing frisbee outside, dancing on the dance floor, rocking in the chairs.. this place is so accommodating for every age range! Not only was the space amazing, but also the FOOD! Definitely make this place a stop if you're looking for a venue in the area :)

  Everything you could honestly ask for in a venue (& ceremony too). Between the flowers, the fountain, the lake, and all the surrounding nature while having the comfort of being indoor/outdoor the entire night, it was PERFECT. Staff was super nice & efficient. We started with Andrea as our coordinator then Maria took over while she was out for pregnancy, and it was a smooth transition with everything taken care of. It was a lot to manage/coordinate & it was SUCH a relief not having to be worrying about every single little detail the day of the wedding. I was completely stress free day of! Made me very happy to not have attempted a DIY wedding! Everyone had an AMAZING time. It's only been a week, but everyone is still talking about how perfect the whole day was. Photo options are endless and so nice not to have to go far from the venue esp during cocktail hour. Our wedding party kept our drinks full and staff made sure to come out twice to find us & bring us hors d'oeuvres. Our photographer took advantage of the venue steps, the trees, the open grass, the lake, the small beach area by the lake, and at sunset we walked across the bridge to get pictures under the weeping willow tree. The venue is a one stop shop. I 100% recommend!
