    Yale Manor at Copper Beeches

    563 Yale Farm Rd, Romulus, NY 14541, USA
    • Spaces for 100 Guests

    Yale Manor at Copper Beeches sits on ten secluded acres in Romulus, New York, in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. The property centers on a three-story stone manor house built in the early 1900s and since restored, flanked by a pair of century-old copper beech trees planted by the estate's original owner — the trees that give the venue its name. The manor house holds five guest rooms and opens onto a dining room and a living room, while four thirty-foot glamping yurts operate seasonally from April through November. The park-like grounds look toward Seneca Lake and sit directly on both the Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine Trails, making the estate a natural base for wine touring, lawn games, birdwatching, and gatherings in the countryside. Privately tucked away yet just minutes from Geneva, Yale Manor pairs the character of a restored Finger Lakes estate with the accommodations of an inn — a setting suited to weddings, celebrations, and multi-day retreats among the vineyards.

    • Spaces for 100-450 Guests
    • 3 Historic Spaces
    • 3 Lofts

    SKY Armory occupies a restored former department store building in Armory Square, the historic heart of downtown Syracuse, NY. Opened in October 2014 by founder Nicole Samolis — a Central New York event planner with more than 20 years in the industry — the venue was built around the gaps she observed working with other spaces: in-house catering prepared from scratch, in-house floral and décor, and a dedicated wedding planner guiding each event from booking through the reception. Four flexible event spaces span the building's floors and accommodate celebrations from intimate gatherings to events of 400 or more guests. The aesthetic throughout is industrial and urban: exposed steel beams, brick accent walls, large windows with city views, and vaulted ceilings that preserve the character of the original structure. Planning, catering, floral, and service coordination are all managed on-site by a single team, eliminating the coordination burden of working with multiple vendors. SKY Armory holds the Couples' Choice Award annually since 2017 and is a certified NYS Women-Owned Business (WBE).
