Turning Stone Resort Casino is an award-winning resort and casino operated by the Oneida Indian Nation in Verona, New York, situated between Syracuse and Utica. The resort holds Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star and AAA Four Diamond distinctions and has been recognized as the most awarded resort wedding destination in Upstate New York. Across its more than 225,000 square feet of event space, Turning Stone offers a range of settings for events of virtually any scale — from the Grand Ballroom, which seats up to 1,280 guests beneath soaring ceilings with natural light, to The Great Lawn, an outdoor ceremony and reception grounds shaded by mature trees and anchored by an expansive pergola. The Navajo Ballroom, the Grand Expo Courtyard, and themed venues within the Exit 33 entertainment district round out the portfolio, accommodating groups from intimate gatherings to celebrations of 4,000. A dedicated events and wedding team works alongside an in-house culinary team — including master pastry artists and ice sculptors — to coordinate every element on-site. With 1,046 suites and rooms across multiple lodging options, guests can stay and celebrate entirely on the property.

Vernon Downs Casino Hotel sits in Vernon, New York, where harness racing has drawn crowds since the track first opened. The property combines a working racetrack — live racing runs April through November — with a casino, AAA-approved hotel, and a state-of-the-art Event Center suited to everything from wedding receptions to corporate gatherings and social celebrations. The Event Center accommodates up to 350 guests for sit-down dinners, with views overlooking the historic racing track. Catering ranges from passed hors d'oeuvres and cocktail displays to grand buffets and multi-course seated dinners, with pricing structured to fit varying budgets. A dedicated Wedding Sales Manager coordinates event planning and logistics. The venue earned the WeddingWire Couples' Choice Award in 2020. On-site hotel accommodations keep out-of-town guests steps from the reception, and six dining venues — including Mr. G's Food and Spirits, Ring Eyed Pete's Sports Bar, and the Miracle Mile Restaurant — give groups additional options across the property.
