“I’m getting emotional just writing this, but Springside Inn truly made our wedding dreams come true. The facility itself is STUNNING and so versatile!!! We decided to have our ceremony in The Grove (beautiful outdoor area surrounded by trees) and our reception in the ballroom, but there are so many options and different ways to use the venue that no 2 weddings are alike. The rooms we got to stay in too are also absolutely gorgeous. Antique charm but state of the art amenities. I am not exaggerating when I say the food and cake were some of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my 29 years of existence. So customizable and delicious! The chef and catering staff are so nice and talented. And last by certainly NOT least…the site coordinator, Chris, is an absolute angel. As soon as we booked the venue, she guided us EVERY step of the way with planning. She is an absolute expert on all things wedding planning and ensured the day went so smoothly. She is such a calm presence and was so attentive, helpful, reassuring, and just overall one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met!!! I feel like I will never be able to express my gratitude for her enough. Springside Inn is an absolute dream in every shape or form and I could not recommend them enough Love, Jacqui and James Married 9/28/24”

I was born and raised in Central New York. I am a military wife, that married her high school sweetheart. We are your typical family with 2 kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We even have that dreamy white picket fence. I started working weddings and events in Syracuse as a server, and realized that event planning was my dream job. I have worked my way up the ladder and decided that it was time to branch out on my own. My years of experience in wedding and event planning have required me to have a sharp eye for detail, excellent problem-solving skills and work in fast paced environments to make planning fun and events less stressful!

“5 stars is not nearly enough to describe how amazing Beth and her team were throughout the entire wedding planning process! From day one, Beth was kind, honest, professional, and just SO easy to bond with. She answered every silly question I had with no hesitation, made every single vision I had come to life (and I had a binder full of them lol!), gave me her honest opinions on what would and wouldn’t work, fixed my dress 30 minutes before the ceremony, and when a vendor cancelled on me a week before the wedding, she dove right in to help me find someone new while keeping me calm, cool, and collected! I am someone who stresses about every little thing that can possibly be stressed over, and I can say with 100% honesty I was the most calm I have ever been for the entirety of wedding day and the week leading up to it. I full heartedly believe this is because I had Beth on my team. I would have a wedding every single weekend if it meant getting to work with Beth. If you’re looking for wedding planning or coordination, Utano Events is the way to go! I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding day the most PERFECT day of our lives.”

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
“There are a lot of great photographer options out there, and we had talked to a few before we spoke with Nicole. But when we hung up the phone after our initial chat, my fiance and I looked at each other and said, "I think that's our photographer?" And boy did we make the right choice. Nicole was responsive, professional, disarming, and thoughtful. She made us feel comfortable and supported, and covered every moment and every family pairing we wanted. It really felt like just had another friend at the wedding. So much so that afterwards, before we'd gotten the photos, we were like, "Honestly it doesn't matter what they look like, we're just kind of glad Nicole was at our wedding." But of course, every shot was incredible. We really felt like we got so much bang for honestly, in comparison, not a lot of buck. TL;DR: If we had to do our wedding again, Nicole would be our first call. Hire her!”

Rob with 123 Imaging was so friendly and happy to answer any questions each step of the way so that we felt at ease. We hired 123 Imaging for the Ceremony package only and are so glad we did. We absolutely would have regretted not having that footage. Our dog (our ringbearer) had passed away 2 months after the wedding and although not originally in our video wish list, Rob was happy to search for the footage to make sure the moment with our dog was in the video and not a moment was missed. He was also very good with communicating with us and so kind. Shout out to Amber and Christina who set up the cameras and the drone (and Daniel who ended up photographing our event with our photographer Caitlyn from Moments Captured CNY!).

Every detail was executed to perfection, and they brought the Market to life. Our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing the space was, and we have Courtney and her team to thank! She expertly managed all of our vendors, knew the contracts backwards and forwards, and made it so we had nothing to do ourselves on our wedding day. We highly recommend Courtney and her team for your wedding!”

“If you’re considering The Overlook at Tailwater Lodge for your wedding, LOOK NO FURTHER! We truly had the BEST night ever, and I cannot say enough amazing things about The Overlook at Tailwater Lodge! From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and so much of that was because of the amazing team who made it all happen. Jenn was my absolute go-to throughout the entire process, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her! She made everything feel effortless, answered my questions, helped ease my stress, and made me feel like I could actually enjoy the experience instead of worrying about every little detail. Having someone you can trust completely on such an important day is priceless, and Jenn was exactly that person for me! Tory, the restaurant manager, was absolutely TOP NOTCH! The service, professionalism, and attention to detail were outstanding. The bar staff were also AMAZING! Everyone was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our guests had a wonderful time. The venue itself provided the perfect backdrop for our special day, but it was the people who truly made the experience unforgettable. Everything came together beautifully, and we were able to relax, celebrate, and make memories with the people we love most. To Jenn, Tory, the incredible bar staff, and the entire Tailwater Lodge team: THANK YOU for giving us the best night ever! You helped make one of the most important days of our lives absolutely unforgettable, and we will be forever grateful. If I could do it all over again, I would choose The Overlook at Tailwater Lodge a million times over! Highly, HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue that truly cares about making your day special!”

“Hands down the best professional makeup I’ve ever had! Hannah did my makeup along with my maids of honor, mother and mother of the groom. Not only is she extremely talented and easy to communicate with, but she was such a kind, sweet and professional presence on the day of my wedding. I did my trial on my bday (highly recommend) and didn’t want to change a thing for the wedding! My wedding day was the most beautiful I’ve ever felt thanks to Hannah. Her air brush makeup felt refreshing going on and felt light all day. She used the perfect colors for my cool toned skin and exceeded my expectations! I went for youthful, blushy, doll-like. My girls and moms loved their makeup as well, regardless of whether they asked for natural or glam, everyone looked incredibly radiant. It was so fun seeing everyone hop out of her chair looking like true goddesses! I would hire Hannah for any future makeup in a heartbeat!”
