What services are included in Seneca Ridge's Packages?
While we cannot deem ourselves a "full service" venue because our clients must bring in a third party caterer, we pride ourselves in the level of service we provide our clients in so many other aspects. Full bar service is provided by The Seneca Ridge, as well as enough tables and chairs for up to 180 guests. You will also have an event manager to get you down the aisle, get guests to cocktail hour, get your guests seated for dinner, and to make sure you are holding to your timeline. Set up of all Seneca Ridge owned furniture, based on your floor plan.
What services are NOT included?
Any setup which includes items not directly provided by The Seneca Ridge will be the Client's responsibility. This includes but is not limited to; rented items, all florals, decor items, table settings, table place settings, signage, and paper products such as place cards and menus. HOWEVER, we do offer planning services for an additional cost, that can include some or all of this.

Love Note
From:
Emily + Josh
Married in 2023 at The Seneca Ridge
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.
