“Charlotte's Hospitality was an unbelievable hire. Nick was a swift and clear communicator throughout the planning phase. He helped us problem solve and would proactively reach out to us to ensure that things were on track. On the day of our wedding, a power outage took place right in the middle of his teams' prep time. Luckily, they were unphased and went on to serve the best meal that my wife or I have ever had at a wedding. The perfectly cooked steaks, tender and delicious salmon, creamy and smoky mac 'n' cheese were all highlights but truly every dish was delectable. We cannot recommend the team any higher. They changed our view of what wedding food could be. Oh yeah, they also drove 3.5 hours to and from our venue! We're unbelievably happy with their services-- book them today!”

“Julia and her assistant Leo photographed my June wedding in Ithaca, and the two of them did an absolutely wonderful job. Julia is extremely professional, kind, friendly, and experienced. She directed my husband and me, our friends, and family in all of our photos, always helping us to look our best. Julia prepared a sneak preview with around 60 of our wedding photos after just one week, and they were all stunning! The full portfolio was ready just a few weeks later, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Aside from the beautiful photography, Julia brought a warm, comforting, and celebratory atmosphere to our wedding day and we couldn't recommend her more.”

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

“Celia at The Lovely Lens was an absolute GEM!! Our wedding was not the typical / traditional ceremony-- on purpose! Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia. She was so friendly and kind us as well as to our family and friends, and immediately jumped on board with our 'potluck bbq at Grandma's house' vibe. By the end of the day she felt like part of the family as we chatted about our furkids and exchanged on where to order some cute socks with their faces on them, haha. If you're looking for an absolute powerhouse of an artist to capture your day in the way that doesn't feel awkward or intrusive, or if you're looking for a photographer with genuinely good vibes and authentic energy, or if you're looking for someone to simply help tell your love story through stunning imagery-- please consider The Lovely Lens of Celia for your special day. 3”

“We had our wedding at Osmica in September 2025 and wow, it was the best decision we've ever made. Planning a wedding can be a stressful experience, especially when you're doing it remotely from North Carolina. We knew we wanted a rustic but upscale barn wedding in our hometown and found Osmica through various online searches. The property? Absolutely breathtaking. The views? Stunning. But the best part of all was Allie and Kurt. They're superheroes. They truly took so much stress off of our shoulders and we couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Allie was instrumental in executing our vision for the weekend from our first meeting 15 months before our wedding date. She guided us through the maze of vendors, rentals, flowers, potential layouts, etc. and helped us plan our weekend schedule with great care, flexibility, and attention to detail. When it came to the wedding weekend, we hosted our rehearsal dinner and Friday evening welcome drinks at Osmica as well. Allie and Kurt provided set-up and clean-up for the dinner, creating a dreamy tablescape under the maple trees. The wedding day itself was smooth sailing and stress-free, thanks to Allie and Kurt's tireless preparation and hospitality. They communicated behind the scenes with every vendor to ensure a smooth run of show. This allowed us to be fully present on our wedding day. Allie also put together our bouquet and additional flowers on the pergola directly from the flower garden at the farm. Her creativity and artistry is seriously unmatched!! Lastly, we have to shout out the farmhouse itself. Staying on-site with our family and friends was such a special bonus for the weekend. We especially loved the homemade, farm-fresh breakfasts we shared each morning. The rooms were clean, beautiful, and filled with thoughtful amenities. It provided the perfect, peaceful space for us to get ready together on the big day. Allie and Kurt, thank you for making our wedding the best weekend of our lives.”

“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 got married at New Park about 4 months ago, and it was absolutely magical! The scenery was breathtaking—exactly what I envisioned for my “backyard, but not a backyard” wedding. Multiple guests even said it was the favorite wedding they’d ever attended! There was plenty of space to dance, but guests also had so many other fun options like cornhole, ping pong, and relaxing by the fire. The venue is truly unique, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. Huge thanks to Sara and the entire New Park team for making our day unforgettable!”

Morgan Courtright Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves Horseheads, NY

Wedding, couples and boudoir photographer based in Owego, NY. I do both outdoor session and studio sessions. Some fun facts about me: #boymom, book worm, gear head, horror fanatic, iced coffee is life.

“I had the pleasure of working with Morgan at a styled photo shoot I planned. Morgan was professional, easy to work with, and fun to be around. She worked well with the other photographers and gave clear directions to the couple being photographed. She was quick to edit photos and get them back to me. Even though it was a staged shoot, none of the photos of the couple look “staged.” I absolutely love her editing style, and her photos from the shoot are some of my favorites from the whole day. I use her photos frequently in social media posts, printed marketing materials and advertisements. I’m looking forward to having Morgan take some branding photos for me and my business coming up this spring. I’ve added her to my preferred vendor list for a reason. You definitely want Morgan to capture your day!”

“Our wedding weekend here was nothing short of perfect, and we owe so much of that to this incredible venue and their team. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of—stress-free, smiling ear to ear, and overwhelmingly grateful for the people making it all possible. Every detail was handled with such care—from coordination and organization to thoughtful touches throughout the weekend. The setting itself is stunning—the views left our guests in awe—and the food was absolutely fantastic. Having the chance to celebrate with our loved ones over an entire weekend, instead of just a few hours, was truly priceless. Goat yoga ended up being one of the most talked-about events, and our guests are still raving about it. The staff deserves the highest praise. Brandon, Katie, John, and Shelby went above and beyond to make us and our families feel welcome and supported. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless. Their list of trusted vendors also made planning so much easier, and we truly couldn’t have imagined a better fit for our celebration. Their help through the planning process was instrumental in planning a wedding weekend in just 5 months!! Our guests are still asking how we found such a magical place, and the truth is—we feel incredibly lucky. We are endlessly grateful to the entire team for making our wedding not just smooth, but truly the best weekend of our lives. If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking views, amazing food, incredible accommodations, and a staff that makes you feel like family—look no further. Choosing this venue was the single best decision we made for our wedding.”
