Wedding, Corporate Event, Family Gathering
Whether you are looking to host the wedding of your dreams, an engaging corporate event, interactive rehearsal dinner, unforgettable elopement or a fun family gathering, allow us to make your private event one to remember. We are located in the heart of the Finger Lakes on beautiful Seneca Lake. Our tasting bar, deck, events pad and expansive lawn with breathtaking views of the lake are the perfect setting for private events.
Venue with a View and a Vision
We believe that no two private events are alike and that each of them should be as unique as the people hosting it. We will work with your event coordinator or event host to make your vision a reality. Professionalism, flexibility and above all, customization, is what sets us apart, tailoring each proposal to our guests’ specific needs and wishes. The venue offers diverse areas to create the perfect atmosphere for any type of event. The main building offers the coziness that make winter events feel homey. Similarly, the tent on the events pad is the unbeatable spot for a warm summer wedding reception. Our beverage experts will be delighted to create a beverage package that suits your needs.
In the Heart of the Finger Lakes
Only 9 miles south of Geneva or 8 miles east of Penn Yan, we are a scant 10-minute drive from the Finger Lakes’ main hubs for accommodation, shopping and dining. Once Finger Lakes’ modern facility is nestled within an 7-acre property that overlooks the lake and offers expansive lawns for entertaining.
We might be one of the newer kids on the block, but all of us that work at Once come from a hospitality background, having organized hundreds of private events in the past. There’s a reason why we’ve been consistently getting 5 Star Reviews ever since we started hosting weddings and other events.

“Best View + Value in the Finger Lakes. We had our wedding reception at Once and cannot speak more highly of the team there!
The bar service Once provided was fantastic, and our specialty cocktail was a hit! They also made all vendor communication seamless. Overall, I think the value Once provides is extremely hard to find in the Finger Lake region.”
