Wedding Ceremony & Reception
Say "I do" surrounded by the vibrant blooms of Fay Flower Farm or beneath the serene canopy of The Lodge's forest. The G Lodge offers the perfect venue for your reception, with a Pavilion that seats up to 100 guests for a shared meal before transforming into a lively dance space. Guests are welcome to camp on the property at no additional cost, and can also enjoy amenities such as lawn games, a pool, hot tub, bonfire pit, and more, ensuring an unforgettable experience with memories that will last a lifetime.
Lodging & Accommodation
The Gauger House offers a range of comfortable accommodations, including the Showbiz Suite, Blue Room, Green Room, Bridal Suite, and Beauty Parlor, with a total of 6 beds available. These spaces, along with several common areas, can accommodate up to 12 guests. We are also developing an additional Dormitory space, expected to be completed in late 2025 or early 2026, which will add 8 more beds, allowing for an additional 12 guests. Camping and glamping options are also available at The Gauger House for those seeking a more rustic experience.
The G Lodge is also available for accommodations, featuring a bedroom with a queen bed, two single beds in separate lofts, a pull-out sofa, and a futon. Additionally, two A-Frame cabins are available at the Lodge, each with a queen bed. Camping and glamping options are offered here as well.
For a traditional wedding setup, the groom and groomsmen may stay at the Lodge the night before, while the bride and bridesmaids prepare at The Gauger House, ensuring the bride remains a surprise to the groom on the big day.
Table & Chair Rental
Comparable to local pricing. Rent though us and remove the unnecessary stress of dealing with an outside vendor.
Flowers
Grown right on site at Fay Flower Farm. Work with our farmers ahead of time to plan your perfect custom floral palette. We’ll dedicate a bed to the happy couple that they can visit all year leading up to their special day.
Couples that said “I do” at the Gauger Estate
Renea & Ken
August 2024
We cannot say enough kind things about the Braley’s! Everything about hosting their special day was an absolute blast and working alongside Renea & Ken to help bring their dream into reality was a privilege.
These folks rented out both properties in full for the weekend. The bride and bridesmaids utilized the House to get ready while the groom and groomsman utilized the Lodge, all to keep the bride a surprise at the ceremony. They utilized the Yoga Deck for their vows, had a huge dinner surrounded by all of their loved ones underneath the pavilion, and afterward the children dressed as t-rexs and chased the guests around - every person in attendance danced the night away.
We hope to host many more weddings like this one and host incredible people while celebrating their love.
Cameron & Tiffany
July 2024
The Heller’s came to us super last minute with a vision.
Cameron & Tiffany had an intimate and beautiful ceremony on our Yoga Deck surrounded by their closest friends and family.
Anna & Sean
September 2023
This was a very special wedding for a myriad of reasons. The most notable being they were the first couple to get married in the ceremony space nestled amongst the blooms of Fay Flower Farm. The reason why they were able to be the first couple married there is because they are the farmers.
In April of 2023, we signed the paperwork officially forming the farm. They dug their hands into the dirt and got to work building out this incredibly special half moon of various sunflowers strains, they built the benches the guests sat on and they erected the arbor they were wed beneath. Watching this story unfold and reach its culmination was absolutely awe-inspiring to say the least. They rented out the entire Gauger House for their bridal party and they had their dinner & reception at The G Lodge complete with various live bands, a tea ceremony, and catering by Alto Cinco. This was such a special and momentous day for everyone involved, you couldn’t find a dry eye across the entire estate.
Molly & Ian
August 2023
Molly & Ian opted for a very simple, small and traditional style wedding. We set up a ceremony space for them on top of a wooded hill amongst our largest trees at The G Lodge. They utilized the Wagon Stage for a small live music performance, and the adjacent deck for their brunch buffet. Guests sat in view of the stage while they dined and visited with the newlyweds. This was a half-day celebration and some of the guests booked individual rooms at The Gauger House.
Myriam & Far
August 2022
Myriam & Far are your definition of ‘nomadic couple.’ She is from France, his family is from Persia, and they met in the hills of California. They have travelled the entire world separately and together, living in various countries and states for differing amounts of time. Currently, they reside in Denver, Colorado where they recently purchased their first home. But in August of 2022, they brought their friends and family together from all over the world to join them in celebration here in Hannibal, NY.
They had their ceremony on our main stage with their guests seated in their dining arrangements making for a very simple transition into dinner. In order to accommodate their guests who all travelled to our Estate from different places, they rented the House & Lodge in their entirety for a full week.
Elise & Joe
September 2021
Elise & Joe opted to have a simple wedding at The G Lodge which they couldn’t have picked a better weekend for. The trees and foliage were at peak leaf change which resulted in this beautiful set of photos for them to always remember their special day. The couple utilized the lodge for all their day-of needs and chose the glamping tent for the evening.
