It doesn't get better than Inns
My husband and I got married at Inns of Aurora in June and I cannot say enough great things about the property, the staff, our contacts Lindsey and Kim, the food, and every piece of the weekend. We knew we wanted to get married in the Finger Lakes and looked at a few venues, but nothing compared to Inns. We loved the intimate nature of the property, the wedding and reception spaces, the accommodations, the convenience of Fargo across the street for the after party, and the relaxed yet elevated vibe. Lindsey and Kim were incredible to work with - we felt both understood what we were looking for and wanted to do and were a joy to work with. During the wedding weekend, Kim was absolutely amazing - anticipating our every need, offering to take our dog out during our wedding if needed, and checking in on me throughout the welcome party and reception to see if I needed anything (often already prepared with my drink of choice in hand in case I needed a refill). The food was incredible - our guests all remarked about the food and service the entire weekend. Our guests loved spending the weekend in Aurora - walking to the Village Market to grab a coffee in the morning, enjoying the spa, wineries and breweries, just enjoying time with friends on the gorgeous properties, having lunch at Fargo, etc. Overall this is a phenomenal property and venue - they deliver an exceptional level of service and I can't recommend it enough. Two vendors to call out - Metropolitan Players was the wedding band of our dreams and Laura of Laura Rose Photography was truly the best (a pleasure to work with, incredible energy on the day of, and stunning photos). We look forward to coming back to Inns for many years to come!
Best in Class Wedding Venue & Experienced Team
The Inns of Aurora Resort & Spa provided exceptional service and attention to detail, making our wedding day special. From the moment we first reached out, their team was quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and proactively addressed any questions or concerns we had. On our wedding day, they went above and beyond - arranging for transportation from the church to the venue when our bus didn't show up and ensuring that every little detail was taken care of exactly how we wanted it. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but the true standout was the quality of the Inn's team and their commitment to making our day perfect. Their work is best-in-class, resulting in a timeless, unforgettable celebration. I couldn't recommend the Inns of Aurora more highly.
Perfect Custom Wedding Weekend
We had an intimate wedding weekend at Inns of Aurora's Rowland House with 20 family and close friends and the experience was somehow even better than we thought it would be. From the planning to the weekend itself, the staff kindly and expertly helped us craft a seamless, fun weekend. Our guests were beyond impressed with the gorgeous setting, the unique details of Rowland House, and the exceptionally high level of service. A couple of our favorite highlights were a family hike on the beautiful trails, morning breakfasts on the veranda, and access to the dock and boathouse where we parked our boat. We also had a welcome dinner at Aurora Cooks! and had the best time designing a menu and experience that was special to us with the head chef, Lou. All of our guests were blown away by the weekend, and we couldn't be happier.
The most breathtaking venue!
We are so over the moon happy that we had our wedding at the Inns of Aurora! Highly recommended! I can write a novel about our amazing experience but will try to keep it short. The venue is so magical and by the lake! During our site visit we fell in love with the historic charm and the colorful designs and arts in each of the Inns houses and couldn’t wait to share that with our family and friends. We worked very closely with Lindsey who was so sweet and responsive and helped us with all the details such as planning our tasting, all the details about rooming, options for rehearsal and Sunday breakfast. Closer to our wedding, Kim helped us with directing the details of our wedding day, helped us with the rehearsal and worked so seamlessly with all of our vendors. Our Vendors all loved working at the Inns because everyone is so organized and friendly. We are so thankful because Lindsey and Kim, were there for us through every step of our event planning. Kim was very kind and attentive and she spent every minute from Thursday through the end of Sunday supporting us! They were truly friendly and treated us with so much love. Kim and her team made sure we stayed on time and made sure we had a chance to eat and drink during the hours of the wedding. The food was truly delicious and exceptional, during our tasting at the wedding and anytime we ate the 1833 Kitchen. Many of the rooms are overlooking the water and one last thing we loved is the special granola bar that in my opinion is one of the Inns of Aurora’s signature details. The inns of Aurora and the Spa facility will always be a special place for us and we will definitely be back. Lots of love Negar and Adam
