Dibbles Inn

I was married at Dibbles last night. What an amazing place for a winter wedding. All of the fireplaces, the tradition, the elegance....just beautiful. The entire night was perfect. Amazing amazing every detail. NOW THE HONEYMOON!!!

I need to thank the people at Dibbles. My wedding was yesterday December 23, 2013. I was booked at another location in Utica and they called and cancelled on Monday. Yes monday December 17th. I sent a message to the folks at Dibbles on Tuesday night at 10:30pm and received a call that night. Even though my reception was small they treated me like it was the biggest event of the year. You would have thought that they had been planning this wedding for months. Everything was amazing. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

I would recommend Dibbles Inn to anyone. Staff amazing. Place was BEAUTIFUL. I had the Hoffman Package. I originally thought it was to good to be true. Well it was true and even better then I could have dreamed. If you dont check this place out your nuts :) Seriously made my dream wedding a reality.

Beautiful fall reception. We were in the oak room so all three fireplace were going. It looked like it was out of a magazine. My guests were blown away. Many of them had not been there in years and remembered how it use to be. When I would tell them Dibbles they would say "really", but when people arrived they were blown away. It is one of the most beautiful facilities I have ever seen. Every detail was perfect!!

Their remodeling is beautiful! and excellent food!

If you want to be treated like a QUEEN, Dibbles Inn is your place. Barb and the staff was amazing! The chef who came out to the room and spoke to me and many of the guests (whose name I cant remember), was fabulous. The food was perfect. I initially wanted a sit down , and they would have been happy to do it, but my husband(love that) wanted a buffet. I was very nervous, and let me tell you....gourmet all the way. The presentation and attention to detail was amazing. The word buffet dose not even apply here. The Silver Garden is so beautiful. I just loved everything. Thanks to all!!

We were married on 10/20/2012 and we were lucky enough to win a wedding reception at Dibbles through 93q radio station Just wanted to recommend Dibbles to every bride because their service and quality wedding reception they provided was outstanding and the most beautiful wedding we have ever experienced. They were totally helpful with everthing we needed from begginning to end. So we would highly reccomend them to any one planning a wedding in near future

Had a my reception at Dibbles in October. Day went perfectly. Food Outstanding. Service Great. Facility Beautiful. I would highly recommend this venue.

When planning a wedding, friends warn you not to expect every detail to be perfect. In our case, our event far exceeded our expectations, and we'll always reflect on our day as perfection.

If you've met Barb, the general manager, this will not come as a surprise. She was professional, detail oriented, attentive to our concerns, open to our ideas and provided recommendations upon request.

The staff were professional & polite. They set up our garden ceremony site & the reception area exactly as discussed. When the cake vendor inadvertently setup the cake in the wrong location, they quickly informed us of what happened, offering to correct same - as it turned out, we preferred the cake in the new location. During our reception, they assisted our elderly guests with the buffet line. They treated me like a princess - carrying my plate, helping me get seated, and carefully arranging a large cloth to protect my dress during dinner. After the reception, they quickly packaged our cake/accessories, gifts and leftover favors to make loading up the car easy.

In advance of our event the chef, Steve, provided a tasting and a detailed description of the food preparation. We chose the Shenandoah buffet, customized to include grilled salmon plates for me and our guests that do not eat beef/chicken. During the reception, Steve came to us to verify that we were satisfied with the food. 3-weeks later, our family & friends are still telling us how wonderful the hors d'oeuvres and buffet were. The guests at one of the family tables agreed that our buffet was the best of any wedding they could recall.

The inn is immaculately kept and pleasantly decorated. The Oak Room bar is embellished with photos of the original owners and other original memorabilia. The garden was an exquisite setting for our ceremony & photos.

Many thanks to Dibbles Inn for providing us an unforgettable day - we will never forget you!

Dibbles was amazing!! The staff was wonderful and made our day just perfect. The food was outstanding and the old Victorian mansion was so beautiful, inside and out. We had stunning pictures taken in the garden after our ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day!!

READ THIS. So... I go to cut my cake and surprise its not my cake. WTF. I thought. Well apparently the delivery person with my cake got into an accident on the way to Dibbles and my cake was NO MORE. Well the manager at Dibbles called there cake person and he delivered his display cake (not real cake) and a small cake for us to cut. Well they also went and bought sheet cakes for a local grocery store. We cut the small cake tey wheeled the hole thing in the back and my guests, non the wiser, each got a piece of cake. The hole situation was taken care of by the staff at Dibbles and I simply enjoyed my day. ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. I have one thing to say, thank you!

Barb and the staff of Dibble's Inn were amazing. From the moment we sat down to look into our options of holding our wedding and reception there to the minute we left at the end was nothing short of Amazing! When our officiant was not able to make it to our rehearsal they assured me no worries a staff member would help, and that she did! We had many compliments on the ceremony, the beautiful grounds and most of all the food and professionalism of the staff. Thank you for making our special day run smoothly and very memorable. The cost was very affordable which allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams, and still be able to afford it. thanks!

We had our daughters wedding at Dibble's this past weekend and it was an amazing day. The ceremony was in the beautiful garden and the reception was in the Silver Garden Room which had some recent upgrades. The food was great and there was plenty of it. Barb was a joy to work with and her staff were very attentive especially to the bride and groom...they even carried the brides food back to the table for her and the chef came out to make sure they were happy with the meal. My daughters wedding day was everything she had pictured it would be. Thanks to everyone at Dibbles Inn.

Had my ceremony & reception at Dibbles. I was suppose to get married in the garden and it was raining. I was a so upset. Well the staff quickly rearranged the room, and it was beautiful. During my cocktail hour the reset the room and poof a perfect day. Thank you all for your efforts. I would not change a thing!!

I had My Reception and Ceremony here 8/4/12. The day was beautiful. The Garden was set up perfect. We were in the Adirondack Room, Love the lodge feel. French doors were open the Garden is lit up. It was amazing. We actually did our cocktail hour outside. The food was great and the drinks were strong. Dibbles was awesome.

My day could not have been better at Dibble's Inn! From the moment my husband and I began our planning, the staff at Dibble's Inn gave us their full attention. We were invited to a complimentary tasting once we chose our menu and that really made us feel confident (once we tasted the amazing food) that our day would truly be what we had always dreamed! The Staff at Dibble's Inn was polite, professional, courteous to all of our guests and really made us feel like family. Dibble's Inn has also undergone a complete makeover! The new owner really took pride in restoring the elegance and charm that Dibble's has always been known for. Honestly, I would rate this the best wedding facility in our area hands down. The charm of the property really makes for a memorable day. I'd suggest Dibble's Inn to anyone looking to make their special day shine.

We had our wedding reception at Dibble's Inn on a Friday evening and absolutely loved everything about our special evening! Our friends and family are still talking about the evening and many of the attributes of Dibble's Inn that you can't find at many other local wedding venues.

The character and history of the venue itself is truly unique to central NY and was something we could not find at any of the other venues we visited prior to committing to Dibble's Inn. The floral gardens in the backyard are absolutely stunning, especially during spring/summer when the rose garden is in full bloom - an absolutely stunning backdrop for photos.

We held our reception in the silver garden room which had beautiful natural lighting when our reception began and was ideal for pictures. The dance floor was very large and was in a location where people felt comfortable dancing, sitting, or visiting with others.

Barb, Dibble's wedding planner, did a fabulous job with planning and coordinating of decor/lighting and assisting us in choosing the perfect menu for our guests. The food was absolutely delicious and the menu we selected (Black Tie Affair menu) included the ideal selection of entrees to satisfy any palette. (The seafood risotto was a favorite across the board! Delish!) The service, including food and bar, was great.

Overall, Dibble's Inn did an amazing job of making our day a truly memorable, picture-perfect day for us and our family and friends. We would highly recommend this venue for couples looking for a venue that is unique to many other venues in the area and that possesses true character and beauty.

I would like to thank all of the staff at Dibbles Inn for making my daughters wedding a fabulous event. I consider all aspects of the day , equally important, and from the moment that she steeped through the door on her special Saturday it was sheer heaven for her. I cannot tell you how important that was to me and my wife. First the building was spotless, the waitstaff were very efficient and polite and they worked very hard, Your thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated. Amy had a very difficult limo ride and Barb was very helpful in helping her to feel better, quickly. We were taken back by how beautiful everything was. The newly renovated Dibble s Inn is like going back in time. the rooms turn back the pages of time to an era of great beauty and elegance. We all felt exceedingly lucky to be part of the first wedding to take place at the new Dibbles Inn! I feel the need to emphasize, again, the appreciation that my wife and i have towards Barb, the waitstaff at the bar and at the dining hall as well. They worked very hard and did a fantastic job!!! They were so pleasant and did everything they could to make Amy s evening a very special one. The meal itself was absolutely wonderful and the vegan meal, for a friend of ours, was fantastic. She made a point of letting us know how great it tasted. The fact that the chef came out of the kitchen and asked my daughter how the meal was speaks volumes for his skills and dedication. Everyone I talked to thoroughly enjoyed themselves and was also impressed with the entire wedding production. My father-in-law pays strict attention to detail and his words were, Bill, everything ran like clockwork ! This is a tribute to Dibbles and everyone that worked that night to make this such a fantastic event! Thank you again for all you did and I will surely let everyone know that Dibbles Inn is a great place to hold a wedding or other special event.

I had my wedding and reception at Dibbles Inn on 6/2/12 and it was the greatest day of my life! Barb was such a pleasure to work with and made sure everything was perfect. All our guests raved about the food! The ceremony garden was absolutely gorgeous, the newly remolded Gold Room (I believe it's the Oak Room now) is amazing and the bar in that room is as well! All of the staff were very friendly and made sure everyone was accommodated. One of my bridesmaids has to eat gluten free and there were able to accommodate her with no problems. Thank you to everyone at Dibbles Inn for making my day the wedding of my dreams!!!

My perfect day was made even better by the staff at Dibbles Inn. I have attended weddings at The Turning Stone and its not even close. Dibbles is the best I have seen.

My father is the worst critic of all time and in his words, "the best wedding food he has ever had, some of the best food period he has ever had." If you win him over you win. The entire event was incredible. Place is beautiful. Staff is wonderful. Really just cant say enough.

To everyone at Dibbles Inn, Please know how very much we appreciated all of your efforts during the preparation and presentation of our daughter’s wedding. We are grateful for your patience and foresight which enabled everything (except for the disastrous photographer..) to be simply beautiful. The room looked radiant, and all of your special touches meshed perfectly. Sarah couldn’t have been happier! She was such a beautiful bride, and both said they had such fun! The food was delicious! Kudos to the chef! He too was a godsend...And most of all Barb, Thank you for your personal & professional with which you treated us. We will certainly pass our positive experience to those about to wedding plan. Thank you again ....Oh, and let’s not forget our hard working wait staff who enabled everything to move so smoothly! Yay!!!!!

We had the best experience at Dibble's Inn. The staff was amazing and the food was to die for. Not only did we stay within our budget, our wedding was more than we could have ever dreamed possible. A special thanks to Barb and her staff for their excellent service and making us feel so welcome. IT WAS AWESOME!

I was married at Dibbles Inn. 10/15/2011. It was spactacular. The Room was perfectly decorated (thank you Barb for all your help) The Manager Barb was there every step of the was. She made sure my day was perfect. Every single guest raved about the food. We had the Black Tie menu and I strongly recomend it to everyone. Presentation of the food was pefect and as I said everyone was thrilled. Thank you to all the staff and most of all Barb for making my day perfect!!

The food was good and the garden was beautiful. However, the menu that we had chosen and the dishes that were meant to accompany it were not all on the buffet the day of the reception. The planning with the owner Charlene was nothing short of difficult. She did not return many phone calls, we had to contact her several times before reaching her. She changed the prices on us and charged us full price for children and open bar despite what we had agreed upon prior to the reception. They also began cleaning up 40-45 minutes before we were meant to leave the reception making many of us feel as if we were being pushed out. Despite it being a beautiful day, I would not recommend Dibble's Inn after dealing with the owner.

I think that Dibble's Inn did a great job. The ceremony was great out in the garden. We had our reception in the Silver Garden Room. It was beautiful. We had the Traditional Buffet and the food was delicious! I would recommend Dibble's to others!

We were on a tight budget and Dibble's was very budget friendly while fulfilling all of our wishes and wedding plans. I did not feel like I settled for less due to a small budget. The gardens were beautiful, as was garden view room where we had our reception. The bridal suite and green room where the all the boys hung out before the ceremony were also great and served their purposes very well! Charlene was great to work with and was very open to my ideas for the big day. I would recommend Dibble's to anyone, on a budget or not. All of our guests loved the food and the place.

The whole establishment is very beautiful place for a reception. They are willing to work with you for what you are looking for in a reception. The food was VERY good.

Now that they are under new management the place is beautiful but the staffing and running of the place has little to be desired. They ran late and the venue was not set up for my function and we had to help them finish setting up because guests were ariveing and they were not ready. They did however give us chair covers at no cost and the last hour was open bar on the house.

We had both ceremony and reception at Dibble's Inn. It happened to change owners a couple times from time of reservation and the actual wedding. Not much changed between teh owners. The garden where we got married wasnt as full as I expected it to be ( I heard they were getting rid of it - not sure if its true). The food was FANTASTIC! Most of the service was great. We had a few issues with getting what was agreed on with the open bar. The Gold Room was my room, the DJ used lighting to make it perfect, by itself it would have been lacking. My biggest issue was there was THREE different weddings at the same time. In retrospect, I may have gone with a venue that only does one wedding at a time. The owner (Charlene) was great with any requests and keeping me calm thru out the time I worked with her.

Okay so Dibble's Inn was a pretty good place. We got married there and had our reception there. What I didn't like was ONE of the head people because she was very bossy and tried to charge me the new prices (Which were higher) when her partner already informed us we would be getting the old prices. She also tried telling me that I couldn't have my rehersal the night before my wedding. But the woman I booked with was A LOT better with customer service (ask for Sue) because she did everything the way I needed it done. (My husband has a child with someone else and he was the ring bearer and his ex NEVER would have let him have him unless it was the weekend he was supposed to have him...so problem number 1 with having the rehersal NOT the night before). The food was EXCELLENT! And everyone had a blast. It was a big space and no one was cramped. But insist on having the ceremony (if you have it there) on the dance floor and make sure the aisle is plenty wide because my husband and I couldn't even walk together once we were married (Partly because my dress was big too). And make sure you ask them to cut the cake pieces wider OR ask them in inches how wide because I had the whole wedding cake left over (because they cut the sheet cakes first and not the wedding cake) But nothing else went wrong. It was decorated right the food was AWESOME and the mood was right and EVERYONE said it was a lovely wedding. (No one noticed the little details that my mother and I did because well we knew how it was supposed to go!) So great place to get married/have a reception!

Dibble's Inn was a beautiful site for our reception. They were very helpful with the set up, they took care of all the center pieces and provided napkins that matched our wedding colors. The food was excellent and the service matched it.
