“My partner and I live in New York City and weren't planning on having our wedding in the finger lakes. But we were taking a vacation up there shortly after having been engaged and decided to visit the Cracker Factory for "fun" to "practice seeing venues". And then we fell in love with the space. Suddenly, we were planning a finger lakes wedding. And boy am I glad we did. The space is just perfect for an event like this. It's big, but doesn't feel it. There's room for dancing, and for having a conversation with an old friend you can actually hear. The back bar is amazing, and the outdoor deck is just the right size. And the team was incredible as well. Amy and then Ashley were responsive, understanding, and incredibly accommodating. We wanted to do things a little different from the prototypical wedding, and Ashley helped us with it all. Genuinely, there were zero hitches the whole day (not counting my wife and I getting hitched). And the price for what you get? Incredibly reasonable! (as far as weddings go). Truly, we felt like we got a steal. TL;DR If we got married ten times, we'd do all ten at the Cracker Factory. It was everything we wanted and more.”

“We hosted a welcome party at barrelhouse 6 the day before our wedding in July, and everything was perfect! From our first conversation with the team at Barrelhouse 6 Distillery, we knew we had found our venue. They were efficient in their responses, detail-oriented about our needs, and Kara (the owner) was genuinely personable throughout the entire planning process. The distillery itself is rustic and spacious, giving us plenty of room for all our guests to feel comfortable and move around freely. The view of Keuka Lake alone is breath taking! The bartenders were friendly and kind, making everyone feel welcomed and taken care of. The team went above and beyond to accommodate our vision, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Barrelhouse 6 Distillery made the night before our wedding truly unforgettable. Thank you!!”

Additionally there is wall of glass garage-style doors that lead to an outdoor stage and green space gathering area; The Warehouse is ideal no matter the weather. Situated in cozy Hornell NY, you may just feel like you’ve stepped into downtown Nashville when you enter The Warehouse!

“For the price, we took full advantage of the awesome, rustic atmosphere that The Warehouse provided. I'll start off by saying: if you are looking for an extremely traditional venue, The Warehouse is not for you. We are not the traditional type. If you are a couple that thinks it's worth putting in some effort to DIY your wedding to make it affordable, book a tour! Cyndi was the one we were in contact with most, and she was great to work with. Very responsive, helpful, and KIND throughout the entire process! My favorite thing about Cyndi is she actually cares about YOU as a person, not just another wedding that makes the place money. She was checking in as the weekend approached and made herself available if we needed anything all weekend. She even followed up with me and asked how everything went after our weekend! We were given the majority of the day Friday (wedding was Saturday) to clean, decorate, and prep for the wedding. I will mention that we have a large, supportive group of family and friends who helped with setup and takedown. If you don't think your group will help you, this can get overwhelming and might not be worth the price for you. To us, it was well worth it! During the clean up, there was definitely some things that we had to wipe down and clean but nothing crazy. You are expected to clean up and leave the place the way you found it the day after the wedding! One of my favorite things about The Warehouse was the freedom of what you could do. We stocked our own bar and hired bartenders. You can choose anyone you want as your vendors (caterer, DJ, tent rental, yard games, etc). We had 1 cooler that worked, but that's all we needed. It held our ice overnight and throughout our wedding day. The bar area is easily the coolest spot, make sure you get pictures! Thank you Cyndi & Joe for a wonderful experience!”

“Nancy, I can’t even begin to express how grateful we are for how hard you and your team worked to make our day absolutely perfect. It was everything and more. The team and LHF/LOM went above and beyond. Despite some hiccups in communication and me getting frantic, you made sure to stay connected with the team to ensure our day was how we wanted it to be! Alyssa was absolutely phenomenal. Her attentiveness to details ensuring that everything was placed specifically how we wanted it. Her calm presence helped calm my anxiety and made the day truly a joy. She was ready for whatever to make sure we were satisfied!! She made sure to get ahold of everyone between the staff there, my photographer, and florist. She was GREAT! Tracy was a CAKE LIFE SAVER! Our cake stand was too small and she went out of her way to make sure we had something to put our cake on, which turned out to be a personal item from home! Tracy was so kind she even sat and played with our 17 month old while the groom had something to do. The staff at the restaurant that worked endlessly serving our food and cleaning things up - please thank them all for us as their work did not go unnoticed! Lastly, please thank Bryan for his awesome bartending skills and leniency with the bar! I had just missed the open bar closing at 8 (it was 8:05) and my aunt wanted to take a shot in honor of my deceased mom. Bryan without hesitation poured us our drinks. Bryan always had a smile on his face and a great attitude. I’ve never in my life seen an owner out there working alongside his employees for such an event! Great job Bryan! Gareth and I are two very humble people. For some our wedding may have seemed like a small, quickly planned wedding but to us it was everything and more. It all came together perfectly! The fresh greenery, the florals, the candles etc. We truly felt so spoiled by all of the littlest things that everyone did that day. Now we have a place to celebrate our anniversary every year, listening to a live band, watching fireworks, or picking flowers at the farm. We hope the success of the restaurant remains so he has a spot to take me out for our anniversary dinners! I have no doubts about its success. It is such a unique spot that I think will continue to flourish. We thank you all again SO SO much and we can’t wait to see the video footage from our special day! Gareth & Elizabeth Allen”

“My husband Drew and I had our wedding at the Inn in June of 2026. We are over the moon with the whole experience and had the absolute best wedding day and weekend. Tania-lynn and Abigail, our wedding planners, were a tremendous help in keeping us on track and staying organized during the planning process. Abigail was an absolute rockstar on our wedding weekend, helping everything run smoothly. She did a wonderful job getting everything set up to match our vision exactly, and was incredibly organized. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure we could have the best weekend possible. Stephenie, who gave us our initial tour of the venue, the bar manager, chefs, all of the staff, bartenders (everyone was raving about Josh!), bridal attendant Gillian, everyone involved was incredibly helpful and kind. The food was excellent and our signature drinks were executed perfectly. We loved the desserts and late night bites. The bridal suite was amazing to use for everyone to get ready, the hillside suite was great for the guys to get ready and hang out in. We could not have asked for a better day! We highly recommend the inn at Taughannock for your wedding. Beautiful location, beautiful views, great food, on site lodging, wonderful staff.”

“My fiance' and I committed to Dutch Harvest Farm when it was nothing but a drawing on a page and acres of land covered by trees and tall grass. Many people thought we were crazy for signing a contract without seeing the finished product, but they hadn't met Laura. Laura is communicative, excited, caring and thoughtful. Our experience with her thus far has been nothing but positive, and that is difficult to say when you had to cancel your initial wedding due to COVID-19. She has helped us navigate the complex situation and continues to keep us informed even throughout the madness. Although we have not had our wedding just yet, we are ecstatic for our day at DHF and can't wait to share the venue we have seen come to fruition with as many friends and family as we can! Thank you Laura! <3”

“From the moment we first spoke with John at the John Joseph Inn, my husband and I felt incredibly cared for and supported. This was the first and only venue we visited when we first started planning and we knew right away this would be the place for our wedding day. John's thoughtful and flexible communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The stunning grounds and elegant venue felt like something out of a movie - the perfect backdrop for our special day. John and his team went the extra mile to incorporate every detail that was important to us, including working with us to build a custom menu that featured chicken from our family farm and custom desserts inspired by our mothers' recipes. The ability to have welcome cocktails and a day-after brunch all on the property allowed our guests, some of whom traveled a great distance, to spend more quality time celebrating with us. We also had plenty of kids attend, and they were having the time of their lives playing in the orchard throughout the wedding weekend. We are so grateful to the John Joseph Inn for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.”
