Oak and Lace Weddings & Events

This is a brand new venue in the Binghamton area and it is absolutely amazing!! It is a family owned farm and they have renovated it into a gorgeous barn wedding venue! There is a beautiful farmhouse which is available as a spot to get ready in and there are several options for the ceremony including a large pavilion, the main barn, and a field. The cocktail hour can be held in the large pavilion or by the old corn silo!!

Longacre Farms

New Milford, PA

Don’t yell at us because this isn’t technically in NY but it’s just over the border and a quick drive down 81 off the New Milford exit! It’s less than 30 minutes from Binghamton and it’s amazing!! Hollie & Adam Longacre own their family farm and have turned it into a warm, welcoming wedding venue. There is a farmhouse space for getting ready where you can see the horses from the window and they have several ceremony location options. You can get married in the woods, in the field overlooking the barn or inside the barn! We love that there are still farm animals on the farm. The chickens peck around and the cows across the dirt road are actually the cutest!!

Mountain Top Grove

Binghamton, NY

Mountain Top Grove is one of those hidden gem venues for those looking to have a laid back and fun wedding! It’s close to Binghamton airport so easy to get to but you are out in the mountains so no neighbors to worry about interrupting with your dance party! It is 2 pavilions so one can be for eating and one can be for dancing! There is plenty of space for yard games and a huge field for the ceremony to take place! There is also indoor restrooms which is always a plus for outdoor weddings!!

Traditions Hotel & Spa

Johnson City, NY

This venue is for the classic and elegant couple who wants to have a beautiful and classic ballroom wedding. One of our favorite parts of this venue is their views and their bridal suite. We also love the one front room with the fireplace, it’s a gorgeous spot for family photos. And we can’t forget the grand staircase for your couple portraits! It’s great for those who have a lot of people coming into town for the wedding and want to have easy accommodations! There is options for more intimate weddings as well as large weddings! The staff is super helpful and very professional!

The Treman Center

Ithaca, NY

When you arrive to The Treman Center, you feel as if you’ve been transported to the European countryside. This is such a unique venue that has such character while still providing a blank space for your wedding dreams to come to life. This barn was rebuilt by a husband and wife and their work is exquisite! From the ground floor that is awesome for cocktail hour with the walkout patio to the middle floor with the white walls and huge windows overlooking the patio to the third floor that is perfect for getting ready in, it’s all so well thought out!!

Greek Peak Mountain Resort

Cortland, NY

Cortland is just a short drive away and you are heading into ski country! This venue is great for summer or winter weddings and has both an elegant feel or the more cozy cabin feel! Hope Lake Lodge is a great place to get ready and you can hold your ceremony out front overlooking the mountain or inside! They have a big draped tent that can be transformed into a gorgeous reception space but keeps your guests comfortable with air conditioning. The service is spectacular!!
