Gratitude & Grace

My friend selected Grace and Gratitude as her ideal wedding destination. Last weekend we celebrated her marriage and this was the most beautiful wedding venue I’ve ever been to. I have been to a lot of weddings over the years, but this one topped them all.
This venue made for the most perfect photo opportunities with stunning backdrops for both a ceremony and reception. The whole bridal party stayed in the white farmhouse located on the property. The house was huge and full of many bedrooms. Staying here made it convenient for getting to the rehearsal and wedding. The neat part about this venue is you can make your wedding as personalized as you would like. The venue is basically set up as a Do It Yourself wedding.
The happy couple said their vows outside under an arch full of flowers with farmlands and hills in the distance. Incredibly gorgeous! Dinner and dancing all took place in the neatest barn. Dinner was served upstairs in a square formation with great natural lighting and an awesome chandelier in the center. Downstairs the dance floor fit us all, and dancing we did all night! There were gardens to take photos in and wander around. I keep thinking about this wedding and what a memorable venue it was.

My husband and I were married at Gratitude & Grace in July of 2014. We loved every part of the experience — from booking, to prep, to using the house. Literally one of hte best «vacation» experiences I’ve ever had, and one of the smoothest wedding venues I’ve ever worked with.
Ron, the owner of Gratitude & Grace, is amazing. Warm. Professional. Quick to respond. Immensely helpful while we stayed at G&G, but wasn’t in our hair. He didn’t nag, poke around, or snoop — in fact, he was just the opposite! Genuinely helpful. Genuinely interested in creating a beautiful space. We respected his space, and he respected us. Easy!
Decorating the barn and property was a cinch — Ron has amazing lighting set up, lots of supplies on site (i.e. a ladder, hammer), and it was easy to make an already beautiful property «our own» with a few hours of work.
All of the vendors we worked with for the wedding in the Finger Lakes knew G&G and Ron, and we had to do very little in the way of logistical coordination.
The house is incredible. Nice mattresses. Everything was clean. Everything we needed was there. Showers were hot. Surroundings luxurious. All 14 of us had a cozy, comfortable place to stay.
Love this place, and plan to come back for reunions in the future — thank you for making our wedding an absolutely wonderful experience!
