We held an "Ice Cream Social Welcome Party" for all of our out of town guests when they arrived several days before the wedding. This is our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE spot on Keuka Lake. The serve the most delicious ice cream, and you definitely get your bang for your buck here. They have plenty of outdoor picnic tables and several larger covered areas (like the kind you can rent out in some community parks). Everyone really enjoyed this little event and it was a great way to welcome our guests.

Our party was a private wine tasting at one of the areas great wineries. Beautiful grounds and tour. Their wine has the most interesting & unique labels. Great Evening!

Went for the Wednesday all you can eat crab legs. Of course they loved it! They also had live music on the deck that night. Nice night to catch up and eat food.

Nice view with a deck that sits right on the water (Keuka Lake). Good menu selections. Everyone chose their own meal off the menu and everyone was very happy.

Wonderful customer service and beautiful rooms with the most comfortable beds! This area of Maine (Rockland, Camden) is absolutely gorgeous. Plenty of water activities, shops, and hometown restaurants. And the best ice cream stand in the world is right across the street from the hotel - there was always a very long line for their delicious treats! Beautiful setting with plenty to do during the day.

Beautiful, new hotel. Very close to our reception & ceremony site at The Esperanza Mansion. Only complaint is that it was a little expensive for a best western, but it was one of the least expensive lodgings in the area. Most of the area caters to B&B's.

I saw their advertisement in the back of a bridal magazine and looked at their website. TONS of different gifts/favors for any occasion. I ordered the personalized wedding cake cookies. They tasted very fresh and were beautifully decorated. Very happy with their product. They had so many things on the website, it was hard to choose!

Music was great and the lighting was great. We had our guests create part of the playlist through our website, and they rounded it out nicely with similar styles and songs. Very happy with their services.

A very yummy beach/water themed cake that had chocolate sea shells around the outside. Tasty strawberry shortcake flavor. Very happy with their customer service.

Ceremony: The Mansion has an outdoor patio that attaches to their reception site. The backdrop is vinyards that lead down to Keuka Lake. It is held in a large white tent that they provide and they also provide the chairs. Beautiful view. Not 5 stars only because it's a little pricey for only 40 minutes of time. They should have some sort of discount if the reception is being held there as well.

* Reception: Very tasty food. Everyone was very pleased with their meal and they also offered several different vegetarian options that had beautiful presentation. Had the Crab Cakes as a passed hors d'oeuvres and they were well enjoyed. Also had the Fruit-n-fondue fountain which was a real big hit. Glad we spent the extra money. Beautiful room. Beautiful food presentation.
