Ceremonies

Exchange vows on our grounds or on our spacious stone patio, both with stunning views of Cayuta Lake. Ceremonies can also be planned for the historic Lawrence Chapel, which is adjacent to our property and a short walk away.

Receptions

Host your reception in our beautiful post-and-beam banquet room, which opens onto a stone patio with spectacular lakeside views. From May through October, the patio is covered by a canopy and the banquet room is air-conditioned. Our spaces can be used for dining, dancing, and cocktails in all weather conditions.

The banquet room seats up to 150 guests, with additional space available on the tented patio for cocktails and dancing. The reception space is furnished with mahogany Chiavari chairs and a variety of table sizes. Exact seating arrangements can be specialized to your preferences.

Bar Service

We provide a professional and customizable bar service for all events. You will have the flexibility to choose from an assortment of beverage options and tailor the service to your preferences. We maintain wine and beer lists that cover a variety of tastes and budgets, but we are also happy to accommodate requests for special wines, beers, or signature cocktails.

Our staff is professional, cheerful, and welcoming, and we work hard to provide your guests with memorable service in a responsible setting.

Pricing and Policies

We maintain a comprehensive document that provides detailed and up-to-date pricing information for the current and upcoming wedding seasons.
The best way to understand our pricing and policies is to visit the Inn for a tour and information session. Call or email to schedule your appointment. We will use the time to show you our facilities and answer any questions.
We are also happy to answer your questions by phone or email. We will respond to all inquiries promptly.

Planning & Coordination

We will work closely with you to make sure you are well-prepared to host your event at the Inn. We assist in pre-event planning, including advice about local vendors, seating arrangements, and reception timeline. On the day of your event, we will coordinate with all vendors to make sure that the event runs smoothly.
