Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It’s a unique, working Finger Lakes farm on the shores of Seneca Lake, with an equally unique purpose: As the “world’s first nonprofit climate sanctuary”, it combines animal rescue, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable technology to address issues associated with factory farming and climate change.
- A lakeside ceremony meadow puts you right at the water’s edge to exchange your vows, and the event center is your gorgeous indoor/outdoor reception space, with an airy, open floor plan and glass garage-style doors that can be rolled up to allow the party to flow onto the patio and grounds.
- You can rent the lovely 1800s Victorian farmhouse for the night; it sleeps twelve, and also serves as an ideal getting-ready space on the big day. Don’t forget to set a little time aside for a meet-and-greet with some of the farm’s adorable rescued “animal ambassadors”!
