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!

This was my first and only venue I toured and I fell in love. We were looking for something very modern and our style and this was exactly that! I was so in love with the large floor to ceiling windows and at night it was absolutely stunning! The outside patio with the fire pits were such a beautiful touch and everyone was loving them all night! The food & drinks were delicious and I have to mention how amazing the staff was to us.. truly wouldn’t have gotten through the night without them! Highly recommend!!
