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 held our wedding at Kin this past October, and our experience was exceptional. Kate, our coordinator, was so fantastic—attentive and ensured the day ran seamlessly. She was so good at communicating leading up to the wedding as well. Kin isn't your typical wedding venue; they prioritize individuality, listening to your vision and bringing it to life. The space is a beautiful blank canvas and the location is ideal as it’s right off East Ave and very close to hotels. Both Kin and Root, owned by Kristen, excel in quality and service. Kristen's holistic approach to food was evident, making it a highlight of our day. Honestly, the staff was just beyond incredible. They made the day by bringing positive energy and ensuring everything was perfect. Would highly recommend!!
