Things To Do
Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park
Any guest coming to the wedding will have free entry ALL day on 9/5/26. We urge you to walk around and see all 9 gardens Sonnenberg has to offer. You will see exactly why we love it here!
Canandaigua Lake
Check out the lake whether it's a stop at Kershaw Park or the city pier. It is always so beautiful.
RMSC Cumming Nature Center
Looking for a nice walk? About 30 minutes south, see the beautiful pines at Cumming Nature Center. We got engaged here!
Grimes Glen Park
Feeling adventurous? Grimes Glen and Conklin's Gully are places we love to go. These paths require water shoes as you walk up streams to beautiful water falls. This is about 30 minutes south of Canandaigua.
