Hotel Canandaigua

“Dream Wedding Weekend
We had the most perfect wedding weekend at Hotel Canandaigua. From start to finish of the weekend, everything exceeded our expectations. We hosted our rehearsal dinner there the night before, celebrated our wedding day onsite, and even enjoyed the pool with our wedding party the next day—it truly felt like a full weekend celebration all in one place.
The venue itself is stunning, both indoors and outdoors. We were the first to try a new ceremony setup that I came up with, with chairs arranged on the upper cement patio overlooking the water, and it could not have been more perfect. The serene lakefront setting created the most beautiful backdrop for our vows. The ballroom was equally amazing—spacious, elegant, and flawless for our reception. The getting ready rooms on site are great for convenience and beautiful. The added perk of the Presidential Suite the night of the wedding is great and allows for perfect balcony photos.
Kristen, who runs the new ownership team from Nolan’s Catering, is absolutely incredible. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. I planned a lot of personal details for our day, and the staff didn’t miss a single one. The service team was attentive, kind, and quick to respond to anything we or our guests needed.
The food deserves its own special mention—under Nolan’s catering, it is AMAZING. We lost count of how many guests told us this was the best wedding food they had ever had, and several even said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. From cocktail hour to dinner, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. We had three bars set up throughout the evening, and not once was there a line for drinks—something guests appreciated so much.
If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking views, modern and elegant event spaces, incredible food, and a team that genuinely cares about your day, Hotel Canandaigua is the place. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough.
