What couples highlight
“This beautifully restored warehouse set in the Finger Lakes Region was perfect spot for our wedding.”
“Throughout the planning process Amy and her whole team were super helpful and communicative, and stepped up when plans went awry to make sure our day was still perfect.”
“Our event had just under 250 guest and went off seamlessly from start to finish.”
“Our guests couldn't stop raving about the variety of craft beer and wine choices and I have never been to a wedding with that much of a selection.”
From the reviews
My husband and I got married at the Cracker Factory in June and we seriously could not recommend it more! Firstly, Amy is such an amazing owner and truly a pleasure to work/plan with! She was there anytime I emailed her to ask her a question, or even willing to hop on a phone call.
Gorgeous venue! My cousin had her wedding there. The seating was spacious and there were 2 bar areas. Everyone had a great time and the wedding photos turned out amazing!
I absolutely would recommend this place to everyone for their wedding!!!! Amy and Brandon were so wonderful to work with and I could not have asked for a better place to have my wedding for almost 200 people during Labor Day weekend.
We were so happy with The Cracker Factory from start to finish! My husband and I met in college in Geneva and were looking for a venue there that was a little more unique and modern than a traditional winery space.
Getting married at The Cracker Factory
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
