The Roycroft Inn is a National Historic Landmark inn, restaurant, and event venue set in the village of East Aurora, New York, 30 miles south of Buffalo. The Roycroft Campus and its distinctive way of life began in 1897, inspired by Elbert Hubbard, founder of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. The Inn opened in 1905 to welcome visitors to this creative community, attracting artists, writers, and intellectuals from across the country. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986, the property underwent an $8 million restoration supported by the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation and reopened in 1995. The Inn's interiors showcase original murals by Barbizon-style artist Alexis Jean Fournier — four depicting times of day in the New Foyer and twelve city-themed paintings in the Main Salon — offering an event backdrop rooted in authentic artistic heritage. The venue hosts weddings and receptions accommodating up to 150 guests, as well as corporate meetings, celebrations, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and bereavement receptions. On-site catering with customizable menus and boutique accommodations are available for event guests.

HayLoft In The Grove is a restored mid-1800s timber-framed barn set on nearly 100 acres outside East Aurora, New York. Once a working dairy farm — and later a horse training facility with a quarter-mile sulky racing track — the property was purchased in 2007 by Jeni and Jason Burford, who chose to preserve the deteriorating structure rather than demolish it. Amish craftsmen undertook an extensive restoration beginning in 2008, retaining original handmade wooden pegs, mortise-and-tenon joints, and stone foundation. The grounds include cornfields, forests, three ponds, and expansive gardens. For events, the property offers an outdoor ceremony area with comfortable seating for up to 200 guests, set beneath a wooden arbor with chiffon drapes and a brass chandelier against a cornfield backdrop. The Stables — a former horse facility converted in 2019 — serves as an indoor gathering space with antique pews from the 1920s, wooden beams, and crystal chandeliers, along with dedicated bride and groom suites and covered outdoor patios with string lighting. Wedding packages include day-of coordination, three planning sessions, and access to an on-site rentals boutique. Activities on offer include a hay wagon ride around the property, horseshoes, and cornhole.
