6 ? Abandon Brewery ? Brewery

Thinking about a brewery barn style venue? This is the one. And it?s not in Buffalo or Syracuse. Give up? It?s a 1-hour drive from Rochester, NY. With serene lake views on the horizon and a rustic, bucolic architectural design, it has a magical feel you just can?t get anywhere else. And unlike other breweries, an outdoor reception isn?t your only option. The original 1800?s reconditioned Taproom is the epitome of a rustic wedding venue.

5 ? Wagner Vineyards ? Winery

With Seneca Lake views that go for miles and lush vineyards all around, it?s not hard to see why the open outdoor venue is one of the most spectacular ceremony spots in the region. And they?ll help you plan every detail ? the menu, the vendors, and even the decorating. Rick Bacmanski has captured many beautiful weddings at this venue including the one below.

4 ? Geneva on the Lake ? French style

Picture this: instead of walking down an aisle envision you and your fianc? strolling through the manicured gardens of the estate. Your guests will feel like they?ve been transported back in time as they enter this affluent 17th-century villa (that could be a stand-in for Villa Lancellotti in Frascati, Italy). But the wow-worthy moments will have just begun. The leisurely European gardens provide a picturesque ceremony setting, while the gilded style interiors can host a regal affair for up to 45 seated guests and up to 150 guests on the south lawn pavilion in the summer months.
