The Mansion on James is a historic Italianate villa built in 1853 by George and Rebecca Barnes, situated on James Street in Syracuse, New York. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom site — the Barnes family sheltered freedom seekers in the basement and carriage house and hosted prominent abolitionist figures including Rev. Samuel Joseph May, Garrett Smith, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The George and Rebecca Barnes Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, assumed stewardship in 2009 and maintains the property as both a museum and a venue for private events. The mansion accommodates gatherings of up to 85 guests across its main level and outdoor grounds, which include an original gazebo from the late 1800s. The venue is available for weddings, intimate dinners, baby showers, corporate meetings, and fundraising events, with WiFi and a parking lot for up to 100 vehicles included with each rental.

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).

Mirbeau Inn & Spa is a 34-guestroom retreat on the north shore of Skaneateles Lake in the Finger Lakes region of New York, open since 2000 as the original property in the Mirbeau collection.

Mirbeau holds a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star rating and has maintained a AAA Four Diamond designation since 2004.

Lincklaen House is a historic inn and event venue in Cazenovia, New York, recognized as the oldest grand hotel in Central New York. Built in 1835 and opened in 1836, the property stands as a landmark of the village that John Lincklaen of the Holland Land Company established. Over the decades, the inn hosted distinguished visitors including President Grover Cleveland and John D. Rockefeller. A 1916 fire prompted a restoration that introduced the finely carved woodwork and moldings still visible throughout the building today. The inn's 23 individually designed guest rooms preserve the character of its 19th-century origins, set within locally made brick construction with distinctive chimneys and broad front entrance steps. For events, Lincklaen House accommodates gatherings of up to 140 guests across a range of formats — weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings and conferences, cocktail parties, holiday gatherings, luncheons, and private celebrations. In-house catering and full-service restaurants are available on site, and the events team works with clients to customize menus and room configurations for each occasion.
