I organized a 2-day workshop for 26 people at this extraordinary event space, and I…read moreenthusiastically recommend it for weddings, parties, or workshops of any kind. The owners are visionaries who have taken an 1870's barn and renovated it into an upscale, environmentally conscious building with gorgeous stone work, massive fireplaces, and three floors, each with its own character. While everything is on a big scale, somehow the beauty enables intimacy and depth -- plus, the acoustics were great, which also made everything feel close and quiet. The location is not too far from Ithaca but it is set in a vast meadow and backs onto a state park, so it's quiet and lushly rural. Not only is the locale pretty, but the grounds are fantastic, with exquisite attention to every artistic detail. The plantings in the courtyard and terraces have a brightly colored, distinctive style that falls into a category of its own -- something like "a European garden with a tropical flare." Inside the barn, there are plants and artwork everywhere, in a quirky blend that somehow coheres into an experience of great beauty and delight. The building and grounds come together as a whole that radiates elegance. Although the effect is quite modern, the blend of old and new is really striking. They have thoughtfully left some rough touches that resonate nicely with the pervasive old wood and stone; for example, a massive beam that still sports an ancient birds nest. There is natural light everywhere. I was so enchanted that on the last evening I took about 30 photographs, because I didn't want to leave it all behind. Our presenter stayed overnight on the 3rd floor and was just as smitten. This was a really inviting place to do deep and thoughtful work; but it would serve equally well for a magical party space. I can't wait to return; and I suspect that each season has its particular pleasures there. (I am especially looking forward to a November workshop where I hope we can enjoy the radiant heat in the floors and a fire in one of the big stone fireplaces.)

Everything…read morefrom the hors d'oeuvres to the salads to the entrees was phenomenal, our guests were raving about the food all night and well into the following week. On top of the food being fantastic, Emily and Isaiah are great to work with. They're super professional, very accommodating, and up to the challenge of just about any dietary restriction. They source as many of their ingredients locally as they can and donate excess food at the end of an event to local organizations. When you combine their community impact with their talent and great prices, there's really no better option than Word of Mouth.

Not a "Villa" - Expect Rustic…read more We rented the farmhouse, cabins, and bridal suite for a group of 18, expecting the advertised "luxury lakeside penthouse" experience with air conditioning. What we encountered was unacceptable from the moment we arrived. None of the rooms were clean and the buildings are not well maintained. Numerous light bulbs were burned out, the farmhouse freezer did not work, and some of the beds were so broken down that sleeping on the floor may have been more comfortable. No one showed up to check us in. The air conditioning was not working in the farmhouse or cabins, and it failed in the bridal suite the following day. The property was so unbearably hot that we had to spend our first night in a hotel. Two cabins had no electricity when we arrived, and the farmhouse later lost power as well. Even more concerning, my 85-year-old mother fell in a deteriorating shower that had no grab bar. This was not simply an inconvenience. It was a serious safety issue. We contacted the owner repeatedly and when he finally responded to our concerns, his answer was essentially, "Next time, stay somewhere else."

Although we didn't have food we did have a few of their adult beverage creations. The cocktail menu is creative without trying too hard. The drinks were delicious and well balanced.

Ask for Sarah and let her guide you through their drink list--you won't be disappointed.

Me and my guests had an amazing baby shower experience and beautiful setting to welcome our newest family member. The owners were a pleasure to work with and the staff exceptionally accommodating to our decorating team and many out of town guests. The food was delicious and well prepared. The table settings and centerpiece options worked perfect for our needs and we were pleasantly pleased. We arrived a bit earlier than the agreed upon time and were graciously given access to the space which worked out for the best. The extra time was appreciated. We loved our time and experience at Celebrations and have created special memories as a result of their welcoming hospitality.

There are plenty of creative and delicious traditional and vegetarian options on the menu. We ordered the veggie mango quesadilla . It is the size of a medium sized pizza.

Mac-n-cheese came in a very generous portion and was fabulous. Looking forward to our next order.

I was in the bridal party at a wedding here and was less than impressed. I witnessed the owner…read morebeing very attentive to our bride and groom needs before the wedding, then saw her essentially back out on her word when day came. The day before, I watched her promise our bride that her staff would light candles, and set up a couple last minute decorations. Then when the other bridesmaids and I followed up she would say that's not my responsibility or decorations are not in my contract. I watched her promise the bride she would have chairs and a folding table brought over to her room for hair and make up the morning of the wedding but we never received them. I was with the bride when she clearly explained to the owner that she wanted the cake out for view during the entire event. It took me five reminders to get the owner to set up the table and linens for the cake. She didn't end up doing it until guests were arriving and the bakery was there, waiting. She's a lot of talk and not a lot of action, with a very fake personality. Her only saving grace is that the guest rooms we stayed in are very very clean, and have nice touches like fridges, card games, water, and snacks. All in all though she needs to work on her customer relations. If you don't want to offer a specific service that's fine, just don't promise it.
