My partner and I live in New York City and weren't planning on having our wedding in the finger lakes. But we were taking a vacation up there shortly after having been engaged and decided to visit the Cracker Factory for "fun" to "practice seeing venues". And then we fell in love with the space. Suddenly, we were planning a finger lakes wedding. And boy am I glad we did. The space is just perfect for an event like this. It's big, but doesn't feel it. There's room for dancing, and for having a conversation with an old friend you can actually hear. The back bar is amazing, and the outdoor deck is just the right size. And the team was incredible as well. Amy and then Ashley were responsive, understanding, and incredibly accommodating. We wanted to do things a little different from the prototypical wedding, and Ashley helped us with it all. Genuinely, there were zero hitches the whole day (not counting my wife and I getting hitched). And the price for what you get? Incredibly reasonable! (as far as weddings go). Truly, we felt like we got a steal. TL;DR If we got married ten times, we'd do all ten at the Cracker Factory. It was everything we wanted and more.
