The Best All-Inclusive Wedding Venues in Ithaca, NY

“We had our wedding at the Statler which was incredible! Melissa and Casandra were such a joy to work with! They made the planning process easy and stress-free. They answered our many emails and provided us with all the information we requested or needed. They made us and our guests feel important and cared for. The Statler Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The staff at the check-in desk were very nice and helped us with the check-in and check-out process. They also helped us pick up our wedding decor the day after our event. The ballroom space is beautiful and the wedding suite was clean and spacious! Chef Eric and his team did an incredible job curating a tasty menu! The food was delicious, and we received so many compliments from our friends and family about the food. We highly recommend the Statler for your wedding!”

“David and I just had our wedding here this past Saturday. I could not ask for a more perfect venue - from the scenery, the beautiful Enchantment Garden, the proximity to the Falls and downtown Ithaca, to the amazing staff, food and service, we highly recommend the Inn at Taughannock Falls for a wedding venue, as well as a place to just stay the night and have an AMAZING meal from the restaurant (which we did the Thursday night before the wedding). All of our guests loved their accommodations, and Hillside house in particular served as the best "hang out", groomsmen getting ready, and after party spot. The full kitchen came in clutch for after party snacks and getting ready food. The Victorian Inn was literally perfect for hair and makeup and the fairly new 3rd salon is the ideal set up attached to a huge balcony overlooking the lake. What really made this wedding venue was the staff though. Later into the planning process, Amanda Hickey became our planner, after our previous planner Kelsey (who was also great) left. From day one Amanda was a rockstar - she was kind, thoughtful, helpful, extremely competent and organized. I did not feel like I had to start from scratch all over again with a new planner. She picked everything right back up and was key in making our perfect wedding day become a reality! Additionally, we would like to thank Stephenie who was very helpful throughout the process (including with getting us Cornell Dairy Bar for dessert!), Chef Justin, the pastry chef, Tania-Lynn, Loma, Gillian (so helpful attending to the bride the morning of the wedding and blocking traffic at the Falls first look), Carson (our personal server through the night who was so kind!!), Chloe, and all the other banquet staff! Our food options were impeccable and, while the short rib and halibut were slightly drier than preferred, they still tasted good! The cocktail hour stations and hor d'ourves were OUTSTANDING, and I must particularly thank and call out the Inn's chef and pastry chef making gluten free versions of everything for me (from the bread course, to Lobster puff pastry, and even special muffins at the Sunday breakfast) - and they did such a good job with it!!! All in all, this place is amazing and we highly recommend people have their wedding venue here (or at least visit it!). We cannot wait to come back to visit for our anniversaries too.”

“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.”
