    Absolutely incredible

    Kristen and the event team were amazing. All of their hard work was noticed and made our day go so smooth. They helped out with everything we asked and much more. We wish we could go back and relive the entire day!

    10/10 amazing

    10/10 would recommend. They executed our dream wedding. Views are stunning, the food was delicious (countless guests told us it was the best wedding food they’d ever had - steak was cooked to perfection), and Kristen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s communicative, very knowledgeable, knows tons of others vendors in the area and acted as our wedding expert/day of coordinator. Excuse my language, but she gets shit done and you can count on her to execute. Look no further and book your wedding at Canandaigua Country Club. You will not regret it.

    Only downside: noise ordinance at 10 PM, so wedding ends at 10 PM, however, we just had an after party at Murphy’s, which was perfect.

    Wedding Review

    We had an absolutely amazing wedding at the Canandaigua Country Club catered by Nolan’s on the lake. Everything ran so smoothly and it was a super easy process setting everything up. The venue was stunning and the food was amazing. Many guests told us that it was the best wedding food they had every had! I would 100% recommend this venue and food for anyone looking to have a wedding in the finger lakes region!

    The prices were also very reasonable and allowed us to still have our dream wedding without breaking the bank.

    Excellent our wedding was such a memorable day!

    The wedding was beautiful! Kristen is so nice and very understanding when you have a lot of questions. She set everything up just like I had asked - she was accommodating to food changes, and always responded to emails or phone calls which helps when you want a quick answer. We used Hopper Hills florist in Victor and Sweet Solutions in Canandaigua for the cake and desserts and Kristen coordinated great with both vendors to set everything up. We were incredibly lucky with the weather it was a beautiful sunny day and we couldn’t have asked for anything better!

    Perfect venue for the perfect day!

    I truly could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding! The responsiveness of this venue was truly incredible - I would always have a response to any of my questions almost instantly! On the day of my wedding everything was executed perfectly! All of my guests raved about how amazing their meals were and all the meals were served quickly and efficiently! From start to finish everything was truly perfect!

    Kristen goes above and beyond for bride & groom

    Can’t thank Kristen and her team enough for their help for such a beautiful wedding! When S & S limo didn’t come though on transport to an agreed spot for photos, Kristen went above and beyond and personally made it happen for my daughter & son in law - driving them herself 💕 Kristen also continued to provide ice packs when one of the bridal party injured their knee . She did it without drawing attention to them . The food was outstanding ! Katie and Josh had the perfect wedding with Kristen and her team ❤️

    Phenomenal

    Nolan’s on Canandaigua Lake exceeded our greatest expectations. Kristen is committed to ensuring you and your entire family is taken care of. The day from beginning to end was flawless and our guests are still talking about the food and the breathtaking venue. Their service is beyond compare and their attention to detail is carefully thought out. Thank you for everything! We had the time of our lives. It was beyond compare, it does not get any better than this.

    Amazing venue with an amazing team behind it!

    We were the first wedding in the newly renovated space and although I did feel nervous about everything being ready in time the support and communication we received from Kristen made me feel confident in everything going smoothly... and it did!! The space was absolutely amazing, all of our guests were complimenting the food (for weeks after the wedding!), and you can't beat the view! Thank you to Nolan's and Kristen for making it such a wonderful day.

    We had an excellent experience with CCC and Nolan’s! You really can’t beat the waterfront view, sunset and amazing Nolan’s food. Kristen works so hard and was flexible in meeting our needs to make our wedding amazing. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful the day was!

    Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Event

    CCC was perfect for our rehearsal dinner and welcome event for out of town guests. The price was very reasonable. Kristen was a pleasure to work with - very responsive and accommodating. We had dinner and open bar for rehearsal and then opened up the space to out of town guests for drinks and dessert. We used our own playlist on the aux and it couldn’t have been better. Thanks!

    Absolutely Incredible!

    Choosing to have my wedding at the Canandaigua Country Club was the best decision I could have made. Kristen, the wedding coordinator, did a stellar job at creating an unforgettable experience, and making sure every detail was addressed. She was very responsive, thorough, and patient with me. I corresponded with her an excessive number of times with questions and she was consistently quick to respond and very helpful. Her calm presence was very helpful on the rehearsal and wedding day as well. The food was delicious also! We chose the bbq buffet and heard raving reviews from all of our guests. The barn was absolutely gorgeous and brand new. The guests had so many places to go, and the views were incredible. Every detail in the barn was beautiful. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better venue or a better experience. We are so very grateful.

    The best wedding venue!!

    Canandaigua Country Club is not only a gorgeous venue, but the food and team are both amazing as well! With Covid interfering with our original plans, Kristen went above and beyond to help and accommodate us for the following year. We finally had our big day on 9/19/21 and it was more than we could have ever wished for. Everything went so perfectly, it was truly the best place to have our wedding!

    It was such a pleasure working with Nolan's on catering our son's engagement party in our home. As our son has a gluten allergy, they were able to cater a delicious gluten free buffet with a wonderful selection to please all of our guests. We had so many complements on the food that I would absolutely use them for our next event. Kristen Harter, the events coordinator, was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

    Great experience with Nolan's for our wedding!

    We had a small wedding reception at Canandaigua Country Club and are so happy with how it turned out! Kristen was great to work with - she was always super responsive when we had questions, and was there to make sure everything went smoothly the day of. The lakeside venue is beautiful, and we especially loved being able to use the fire pit when it got a little more chilly at night. The food was also delicious. We would definitely recommend Nolan's on Canandaigua Lake!

    Kristen and her team went above and beyond. She is so organized and detail-oriented. Kristen made sure everything was exactly how we wanted and also gave suggestions on how to make it an even more incredible experience for us and our guests. 10/10 experience. Also the food was AMAZING!! Our guests are still complimenting us on how delicious everything was.

    Fantastic Rehearsal Dinner Venue!!

    My wife and I had our wedding in Geneva, NY and choose Nolan's in nearby Canandaigua for our rehearsal dinner the night before. We were THRILLED with everything about the venue, and Kristen was flawless with the coordination every step of the way! Not only was she lightning quick in responding to any questions/inquiries, but the pricing was very reasonable for the high quality of food and drink provided! Our rehearsal dinner accommodated about 40 people, so we rented out a private room in the back of the restaurant to hold the dinner. We selected an assortment of Italian food and seafood for our dinner meals, all of it delicious, and even requested a private bar set-up in the room which was extra convenient. Everyone raved about the food and ambiance and it was a very memorable evening - Kudos to Kristen and her staff for hosting a wonderful rehearsal dinner in every aspect!

    Outstanding in every way !

    Cannot day enough about our experience with Nolan’s ! Rehearsal Dinner was fabulous, plentiful, excellent and gorgeous setting on the lake. The wedding food was absolutely delicious! Filet mignon cooked to perfection, tender, hot , Chicken French cooked perfectly delicious, and Salmon moist and delicious. We have had so many many compliments on everything. The staff is professional, friendly and go above and beyond in every way! Kristen is amazing to work with, responsive, attentive and helpful on all levels. We wouldn’t have done it any other way. Nolan’s on the Lake is the finest caterer around!

    Nolan's at the Canandaigua Country Club

    Nolan's at the Canandaigua Country Club was amazing!

    Kristen is super easy to work with. I was planning from California, Kristen was super responsive, gave great feedback on menu choices, was flexible with my wine requests, and was sensitive to my guest's food allergies and diet preferences. Not to mention, she pulled out an industrial sized leaf blower to dry off the outdoor space for the ceremony after a storm had hit.

    All the guests raved about the food! Specifically the filet mignon and the "after party" wood fire pizza served for late night noshing. All the serving staff were super attentive and friendly. The whole night was magical and we couldn't have asked for a betting wedding and reception site.

    The Perfect Venue for A Wedding!

    Getting married here honestly could not have been better and the location itself is truly unbeatable. Kristen (the event coordinator) was incredibly helpful and always responded to emails in a quick, courteous and professional manner. This made our lives much easier, especially considering that my (now) wife and I live in Germany and were living there while we were organising the wedding. The food was extraordinary and there were some really cool and unique additions to choose from like firing up the outdoor brick oven pizza station in the evening! I would unquestionably recommend this venue for any future couple looking for an unforgetable place to tie the knot.

    Kristen and her Team are AMAZING to work with!!!

    If you are thinking about having your wedding at the Canandaigua Country Club please know that we are over the moon happy with how everything went. We worked with their coordinator Kristen Harter. Coordinator is really an understatement. She is so easy to work with, kind, quick to respond and on the day of the event is a priceless resource. I didn't have to think about anything. Everything was seamless, so well executed, the food was AMAZING!!! We had the buffet, we had 110 people and everyone go through the line so quickly. We loved the Salmon and the cous cous salad especially. People complimented the beef , and the Brocoli Alfredo. The hand passed crab cakes were so good too. We felt so taken care of, so relaxed, calm and blissful. Kristen and her staff are something you will not find at every venue you consider. I have worked in events and catering and I feel confident writing this review. The tables were clean and in well spaced, the silverware and glasses all were sparkling, the executive chef was out on the buffet line to answer any questions, the chairs looked perfect, and the menu was varied enough for gluten free, vegetarian and dairy free eaters. I also had one guest who was vegan and she was so satisfied with her pasta dish. She said it was one of the best vegan meals she has had at a wedding.

    Also, about the whole space, people were so nice, we could spread out and enjoy the chairs by the lake, the tables and the grassy area. The members of the country club were very nice and all of the staff were friendly. The whole venu was clean from the restaurant to the restroom/locker room.

    Thank you Kristen for making our wedding so wonderful and relaxed!
