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!

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.

Our guests are still talking about both the dinner and the passed appetizers. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and the staff worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect. I also cannot say enough wonderful things about Annie, the in-house baker. I highly recommend utilizing her for your wedding desserts! She helped create the perfect dessert selection for our special day and personalized everything to fit our wedding theme and style. Not only were the desserts beautiful, but they were absolutely delicious. A huge thank you goes to Jamie, the wedding coordinator. She truly is a blessing!
