We had our wedding at The Barracks Inn last month (Labor Day 2022). What a beautiful venue, the view can't be beat, the reception/dinner room is beautiful, the food was wonderful. And the drinks were perfect! The owner was so accommodating with all of my quirky plans - never complained, listened to what we wanted and made it all happen. We are picky so this is really something. The sound system is great - really over the top from what you would normally expect. Dancing on the beautiful deck that sits out on the water was heaven. We could have danced until dawn. I heartily recommend this venue and Kim (the owner) as "the" place to have your wedding, anniversary party, birthday party, or just a party party! You will be very pleased with the whole process.

The Rosemary at Spano Lake is the perfect venue! Jackie and Dan are the kindest, most thoughtful owners you'll come across. I have not only been lucky enough to photograph an engagement session, senior session, and a wedding here, but also attend a wedding and host an event. My experiences both as a photographer and as a guest have been incredible. You can feel the love that Jackie and Dan have for making sure their couple's wedding day is nothing short of perfect. Truly, a fairytale wedding venue in the heart of Upstate NY!

Not only is the Cracker Factory a beautiful hidden gem, but every person on the team is amazingly considerate, kind, and helpful. Ashley, Brandon, and Amanda were a joy to work with from the initial tour to all email correspondence, the day of and even when picking up our decor the day after. We stumbled on the venue in a random Google search and decided to check it out while passing through after the holidays, and were blown away by the venue's layout, architecture, interior design, and features. It was everything we wanted and more. They provided us a very detailed list of recommended vendors covering everything from furniture rentals to catering, even hotels and airbnbs in the area. Their bar service packages were expertly tailored and they even had NA beer and wine which quite a few of our guests really appreciated. Brandon and Ashley were like extra coordinators during our tea ceremony, welcome party, and wedding day. They are extremely understanding of cultural ceremonies and were happy to boil water needed for our tea ceremony and set up the necessary seating and tables for it. Brandon was so attentive to us and our whole wedding party and family. We got so many compliments on his friendliness and kindness, as well as how beautiful and unique the venue is. Ashley was so quick to respond and answer any questions we had weeks and days leading up to our wedding. When we were visiting shops and places in the Geneva area a couple days leading up to the wedding, everyone in the community gave them such high praise, telling us we were in great hands, and they couldn't have been more right. Everyone at the cracker factory is professional, kind, communicative, and fun. They helped us have an incredibly fun and stress-free wedding. We couldn't recommend this space and this team enough.

After getting married here in October, I cannot recommend the Hartlot Happening enough!! The space is a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor which was SO popular with our guests. We got so many compliments on the venue because of how easy it was for guests to mingle and chat. Everyone said it was unlike any venue they had been to before—in the best possible way! The owner, Katie, was a delight to work with and was so mindful of preserving the vision we had for the wedding even when we had to make last minute adjustments on the fly. If you are looking for something different than the typical wedding hall experience, then Hartlot Happening is the place for you!
