Celebrations, Ithaca NY

Our close friends had their daughters wedding here. Just a beautiful place. Owners were fantastic, all staff were very helpful. The outside and inside space, perfect for a wedding. The food, the music, the bar, all available here which makes wedding planning more simple. Highly recommend.

We had wedding reception here. It was amazing. Food was the best, top quality, great selection. The outdoor fire and covered deck with beautiful views were a nice plus. The staff did a great job serving and clearing tables.

Highly reccomend this venue. These people are fantastic and extremly detail oriented. Beautiful atmosphere and they are working very hard behind the scene to make every little detail absolutely perfect. I was very very impressed with everthing and it turned out to be so much more than i could have ever imagined. I would say there may be a very few that may be as great as this venue.but definately none could be better. So extremly impressed from start to finish!

Beyond gorgeous elegant venue, food was terrific tasty workers were very accommodating, we were very impressed would definitely have an event there again!

Celebrations was absolutely amazing and perfect for our wedding! John and Laurie are competent, experienced, and respond quickly and helped make our wedding the spectacular affair it was (our guests and we were thrilled with it). The venue is well designed and beautiful! John puts in so much effort into the landscaping and it clearly shows. The fire pit and the ceremony spot outside (with tent, speakers, and beautiful gazebo and bridges) set against the natural beauty of the Finger Lakes makes it an ideal spot to hold a ceremony. The food was superb (which I think Laurie was in charge of) with a variety of options to make everyone happy. Faith the DJ at celebrations was fantastic. Also our guests especially the children enjoyed the photo booth. Overall our stress was reduced because of how well Celebrations is run and how Laurie and John operate it.

I am so happy that we chose Celebrations Banquet facility for our wedding. Celebrations was the first place we looked, and we looked at a number of other venues in the finger lakes, but we knew that we were going to go with them when we walked out of our first meeting.

The landscaping, tent, indoor reception hall, and patio are all beautiful. Our guests had a number of places to go during the wedding if they weren't in the mood for dancing. We had a photobooth and a fire pit that were very popular. The food was also amazing, and the bar was exactly what we needed.

John and Laurie do an amazing job with event planning and make the process as easy or involved as you want it to be. We personally were in the middle of two job changes and cross country move while we were planning our wedding and didn't have time to think about details like centerpieces, a DJ, or ceremony decorations. But John and Laurie supplied custom centerpieces for our tables and the grounds are so beautiful we didn't even need flowers for the ceremony. We chose our own ceremony music but John and Laurie offered that as well.

We got a ton of compliments on the venue, and the price is completely reasonable. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding.
