Had such a lovely time at the Rochester Contemporary Arts Center…read more I visited during First Friday and there were a few different activities you could take part in for the $2 admission fee. The staff was wonderful and you can tell they took pride and loved the arts. They have many activities on a rotating basis where you can stay in the know by signing up for their emails. I was in town for a short visit but would definitely make an effort to visit if I'm back in the area.

I love this little local art museum. I've been here so many times but never reviewed it…read more From their website: "MAG offers free access to children age 5 and under, active University of Rochester students*, faculty, staff & retirees, and SNAP card holders (along with three guests)." They are also open late on Thursdays and second Friday, and admission is half price after 5pm on those days, which is nice for people who work a 9-5. They also have tours that are included in the price of admission. The last time that I visited, I was able to participate in one of the Thursday night MAG general collection tours. Everyone who worked there was very kind, and the tour included some interesting history about Rochester that I would have never otherwise known. For a local museum, the collections are very interesting and cover a broad range. There are also some big names in American art, so try to spot them! They also have a small but good impressionist collection. One of the coolest aspects of this museum is the baroque organ which is played on Sunday afternoons.

I can't believe that I haven't left a review here before. Ok, this is going to be short, this venue…read moreis one of the best places that Rochester can offer for locals and visitors. The MAG has a special place in my heart, and I have so many happy memories in this awesome place. If you haven't been here before, then you're missing out. Plan a visit ASAP. If you go on a Sunday, then don't forget to attend the organ concert either at 1pm or 3pm. Check out their calendar, you'll definitely find something you'd like to attend/see. Have fun!

Don't let the word barn fool you, this is a lovely event venue. Less rustic than you might expect!…read moreI went to a wedding here last weekend but it could easily be used for a shower, family reunion, or work party. The grounds are well tended with flowers all over, and rustic touches like antique bicycles. The couple had their ceremony in front of the rock garden and the reception inside. This is a great location for a summer wedding as there is a balcony overlooking the hills of Naples (and plenty of room for drink coolers). There is a significant uphill walk on gravel from the parking area to the main entrance of the barn. The only thing that was semi weird is the door to the ladies' room kept swinging open and hitting me in the butt while I was washing my hands. Everything else was very nice!

My daughter was married here two years ago. Beautiful venue, beautiful decor and the owners have…read moremuch more you can choose to use. You really only need to bring your personal touch. There are no ridiculous rules. We had the barn from Friday to Sunday for a very reasonable price. You can have any cater or vendor you like. We hired a bartender and bought the drinks ourselves, which saved a fortune. We were allowed to stay the weekend in our RVs, tents etc. There is a beautiful bridal suite. Owners are fantastic, friendly, and helpful people.

10 stars for the incredible views at Ventosa!…read more Located in the middle of the Finger Lakes Wine Country, this winery will give you a little taste of Tuscany without having to leave NY. From wine tastings to live music and weddings, Ventosa is the perfect destination spot to enjoy a gorgeous view will enjoying delicious wine. I highly recommend during the warmer months since you really will be captivated by their gorgeous view and will be very tempted to sit outside but might lowkey freeze your butt off if you try to when it's not the perfect weather for it. With gorgeous vines and the view of Seneca lake, this place is incredibly beautiful to get married at. We really enjoyed coming here and getting a bottle of their dry Riesling and enjoying the lake view while we had a light lunch. Their cafe food is just ok but I'm happy they do have a variety of hot and fresh food and not just cheese and charcuterie boards (which we love but somethings you just need a little something more). Ordering at the cafe is pretty easy, there's no table service, you order directly at the counter and when the food is ready, it'll get delivered to you. They offer up sandwiches, pizza, wraps and soups to name a few. Bottom line, great spot to enjoy the gorgeous outdoor space while sipping vino, do a little picnic and even hang out with your dog, they're welcome in the outside space only.

Nice place with a view but I think the customer service is lacking. Small tasting bar.read more

Rude to the bride and groom throughout the whole wedding day and the days before and after... she came during the wedding and started video taping people from the dark corners making people feel uncomfortable.

Fiddlers barn is a beautiful venue, that sits near a beautiful pond out on the countryside…read more However, that is the only positive thing I can say about this venue. The owner Fran, was consistently difficult to reach by phone or email during my entire planning process. As for the reception itself, it was almost cancelled and I was blamed almost solely and blatantly in front of my family, for not having provided one piece of paperwork. This all not brought to my attention until my wedding day AS my guests were showing up to the venue. We were ASSURED by her, after asking at least 3 different times weeks before the wedding day, if there was any paperwork left to give her to make sure everything went smoothly for the day of. I was left feeling very angry and embarrassed that this miscommunication had to occur so late. By the way, if you are interested in this place, you will need to provide ALL your own basic amenities such as bathrooms and running water. No vendors are included whatsoever. Costs will be HIGH. It's your responsibility to make sure your vendors have ALL of their proper insurances correctly filled out as well as ALL permits. Good luck keeping in communication with the owner for that.To be honest, You're better off going to a wedding barn that includes at least basic amenities. You may also meet her "friend" she hires, who rudely bosses your guests around for parking and acts like a "bouncer", following around all your friends and family during the entire reception. Fran is strict supervisor, who will hover around your friends and family monitor everything you do closely and uncomfortably. This unfortunate experience with unprofessional behavior, left all of my guests with a bad taste in their mouths. I completely regret choosing this venue to have my reception and I would never recommend it after my experience. I can't say any of my 55 guests were pleased with their experience with her. Its is such a shame, because it is a very beautiful venue.

But it's pretty well opened so you can see everything that's going on although there can be columns that can block your view, but it was not a problem. The tables are decorated nicely And the chairs were pretty comfortable. Food was served family style. We had a chicken dish, a steak dish and veggies. All good. The veggies were a little weird because they had cinnamon on it but I enjoyed them. The cocktail hour was in a different space and that was really good. They had a charcuterie board and passed around hors d'oeuvres. My favorite was the beef Wellington and the shrimp cocktail. The tacos were good too. Let me borrow. It was a little salty and the pasta that came with it a little overdone. Dessert was OK. The cake was a little dry. They had a vanilla sundae bar which was fun but I did enjoy the Smore making station that they had. We ended the night leaving with a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel and it was warm. Those who took it said they enjoyed them. we had over 150 people and never felt crowded in the room. Room to dance without feeling you're on top of each other.

Really disappointed that my first visit there to see the movement was not a great one…read more No one checked my bag what if someone had a weapon or something, I heard several people say their bag wasn't checked. The staff was not welcoming or friendly. I've worked several venues in different states and currently work for some and we definitely don't make patrons feel like I felt. Truly disappointed. Could be a great venue but the management needs to work on learning how to make patrons feel more welcomed and teach their staff more on customer service. The VIP area was really not very good for the cost. I've worked hundreds of shows and our VIP areas are much more cleaner and have their own restrooms and friendlier staff.
