There’s something effortlessly joyful about a summer wedding. With longer days, golden sunsets, warm evenings, and gardens in full bloom, the summer season sets the perfect stage for lakeside vows, outdoor celebrations, and unforgettable moments under the stars. Guests are often more available to travel thanks to school breaks which makes it easier for your favorite people to come together and celebrate.

But with all that charm comes popularity—summer is peak wedding season, and prime dates book quickly. From venues and photographers to florists and guest accommodations, demand is high. If you’re dreaming of a sun-drenched ceremony and a breezy summer reception, we recommend securing your date as early as possible to bring your vision to life without compromise.

Autumnal weddings offer the perfect blend of cozy charm and timeless elegance. With rich foliage, golden light, and crisp air, the season provides a naturally stunning backdrop that requires little extra embellishment. Think warm palettes, seasonal flavors, and the romantic crunch of leaves underfoot—all setting the tone for a celebration that feels both grounded and magical.

Fall also brings a touch of practical beauty: more flexible pricing and greater availability across venues and vendors compared to peak summer dates. It’s the ideal season for couples looking to create an elevated experience with thoughtful details, all while maximizing value and guest enjoyment.

Snow-covered landscapes, cozy spaces, and stunning photo ops are just the icing on the lake when getting married in winter. This elegant season brings more available dates, reduced pricing, and less weather-related stress with the promise of our exquisite indoor venues.

Winter weddings beckon romance with roaring fires, warm-glowing candles, twinkling lights, and fresh greenery. Let us help you create your very own winter wonderland here at The Lake House on Canandaigua and make this momentous occasion a dream come true.

A spring wedding is like nature’s love letter—blooming gardens, soft colors, and that unmistakable feeling of renewal. It’s a season made for romance, where garden ceremonies, floral-forward décor, and gentle breezes create an atmosphere of joy and optimism. Guests love the chance to shake off winter and celebrate new beginnings in a vibrant, uplifting lakefront setting.

Beyond the revitalization of temperatures and beauty, spring offers flexible rates and booking options, allowing couples to secure dream vendors and dates with greater ease. For those seeking a picture-perfect celebration without peak-season pressures, spring delivers on both charm and accessibility.

Celebrate your love on a holiday weekend when the mood is festive and your guests are already in celebration mode. Whether it’s the sparkle of New Year’s Eve, the patriotic charm of the Fourth of July, or the cozy magic of Christmas, tying the knot on a long weekend like Memorial Day or Labor Day offers a natural opportunity for extended festivities— making it easier for guests to attend without disrupting their typical work routines.

These dates are especially popular for weddings, so if one speaks to you and your partner, we strongly encourage couples to secure your preferred holiday wedding date early. These dates fill quickly, and for good reason—they offer an extraordinary way to make your celebration truly timeless.

In winter, nearby slopes invite sledders and skiers of all levels to enjoy the snowy beauty of the region. Whether it’s boating by day or gathering around a firepit after a lakeside walk, adventure is always just steps away.
