The Fallbrook House at Canandaigua Country Club was the perfect venue for our wedding day.

She was incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions, no matter how small, and made us feel truly excited about celebrating our special day at their beautiful, well-maintained, and scenic property. On the day of the wedding, Kristen and her team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly - they took care of all the details, from allowing us to come in early to set up to handling any last-minute changes due to the weather.

Colleen was our planner and she was amazing. She answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable. We hired her for day of and it was one of the best decisions we made. The food was amazing- we got so many compliments on it. The venue itself is so pretty that you don’t really need a ton of decor. They took care of table numbers, center pieces, and the card box too which was amazing. We had such a positive experience and will recommend it to everyone.
