elevated farm weddings
We created The Seneca Ridge to provide our clients with a wedding venue that not only provides the charm and intimacy of a humble backyard farm wedding, but the elegance and elevated feel of a country side tented wedding.

This is the most difficult review we have ever written because the right words just do not exist to describe how much we absolutely love everything about the Seneca Ridge. From the gorgeous property to the kind, hardworking, and efficient staff– we truly could never say enough.
Seneca Lake is a very special place to Josh and I, and our families. We are so grateful that Alexandra and Michael came along and crafted the perfect space that allowed us to spend the most important day of our lives there. Our wedding truly felt like the perfect balance of an elaborate, elegant affair and an intimate backyard gathering. It was exactly what we had imagined for ourselves and our loved ones… and even more.
Throughout the entire process of choosing vendors, creating a timeline, and coordinating the day, Alexandra and Michael had a recommendation and a solution for everything. We held our welcome dinner, ceremony, and reception all on the property and we barely lifted a finger the entire weekend because of their hard work and diligent staff.
The views and elevated, yet fun and lively, aesthetic of the house, cocktail hour barn, and sailcloth tent speak for themselves. The authentic nature of the people and the property at this venue truly facilitates an experience that is rooted in love. Our guests were in awe of every sight and every minute of the weekend– the joy was palpable. What more could we ask for?
Thanks to the Seneca Ridge, our wedding weekend was beautiful, seamless, and above all else genuine. We will dream about this place for the rest of our lives.

Stunning venue!
Long post warning! The Seneca Ridge is AMAZING!!! It is the most stunningly beautiful venue and has the most attentive, hardworking, incredible staff that goes above and beyond to make the wedding of your dreams come to life.
Our wedding day was hands down the best day of our lives, thanks to Alexandra, Michael (the owners) and Allie (the manager). They are so sweet and down to earth. Even though the venue is new, they've been in the industry a while and are very experienced with weddings. Their passion for weddings comes through! They worked so hard alongside our day of coordinator and other vendors to make our wedding day go off without a hitch.
Cocktail hour in the renovated barn was a huge hit! Our guests loved mingling under the string lights and hanging out on the patio right outside the barn. Even though it was a hot, humid 90 degree day, our guests stayed cool with the fans and the breeze that goes through the barn. We chose two signature drinks and they turned out soooo delicious, and the Seneca Ridge bar staff even had real basil and mint plants lined up at the bar to use for garnishes! They also have a really nice selection of local beers and wines.
Our reception in the sailcloth tent was by far the most amazing part of our day. It really is a blank slate that can be customized to fit whatever your style is! For us that meant decorating the bistro lights with hanging greenery, using bright florals and gold decor as centerpieces, and putting white linens with blue accents on their tables. We also had a DJ, photo booth and live painter and they all fit comfortably in the space along with our 110 guests. Whatever your vision is, the Seneca Ridge staff will make it come to life. I'm so excited to see how future couples decorate this space!
The tent sits on a beautiful field that overlooks the hills leading down to Seneca lake. You get the perfect sunset views and lighting. So many of our guests took such nice pictures they look professional!
The reception was such a blast, but the end of the night is always sad. No problem at Seneca Ridge because you can just walk 30 ft back to the barn for an after party! We stayed for an extra hour and had a dance party with our college friends (best part of the night if you ask them).
We also stayed overnight at the onsite accommodation with a couple of our friends. It is a charming older home from the 1800's that has been BEAUTIFULLY updated with modern finishes. The lighting in there is soooo good for pictures everyone kept commenting on it. It was so convenient to stay there and made the rehearsal and the morning of the wedding so relaxing and fun. Waking up on your wedding day and looking out the window to see your ceremony space set up with the arch and chairs is the most surreal experience ever. And of course at the end of the night when our reception ended it was super convenient to just walk back over to the house and not have to worry about transportation. I HIGHLY recommend staying overnight here if you get married at Seneca Ridge it is absolutely worth it.
We had such a fun wedding and got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was. From butterflies fluttering around the tent to the dreamy sunset views, this is hands down the most beautiful venue in upstate NY.
TLDR: book Seneca Ridge!!!!!
