The Turning Stone Resort was a beautiful location for our wedding! We got married on the great lawn at the lodge and the reception was held in the clubhouse. Matt Rose was a huge help and guided our wedding planning. Chef Ron and his team made the most amazing wedding food we have ever had. Paula was our assigned server for the day and she was so attentive and on it! The Turning Stone team covered all of the details. It was a perfect day. Reviewed on 17-09-2023

Sara Boden(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-07-2022 My husband and I worked with April Labulis at Turning Stone who did everything EXCEPT her actual job. My husband arrived at the Great Lawn at 1:45 for our scheduled 2:00pm ceremony and the staff said they we were not scheduled to have a ceremony there. Cue the stress! April showed up at 1:50 and notified the staff at that time. We had a total of 20 guests at our ceremony so our contract said there should have been 30 chairs at the ceremony. There were at least 75 chairs just taking up space unnecessarily because âwe werenât scheduled to have a ceremony there.â đ my husband and I prepaid for everyoneâs room and we paid a deposit for dinner at the steakhouse. These deposits were temporarily âlostâ, our guests were charged random amounts to their rooms, and we were charged the entire steakhouse bill when we checked out. Itâs took 2 weeks for Turning Stone to find all of this money, organize their complete mess, and give us our money back. Iâm really not sure how this place is rated so highly for weddings. They did not care at all about our event. Reviewed on 17-07-2022
Mandy Brennan(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-12-2021 TS was great with postponing due to COVID!

Brides looking to book here, try to work with only Jamie Smith from start to finish!! Do not get married here until COVID is over. Theyre super strict with masks, even originally wanted me to wear a mask walking down the aisle. The food is so good! And use Joli as your florist. She is AMAZING.

When our big day finally came I couldnât think of a more perfect experience. EVERYTHING was amazing. We had so many family and friends stay in the various resort accommodations all weekend long and it made for such a fun experience. Our wedding planner, Chelsea made our entire experience from start to finish, perfect. She accommodated our every need, always was on top of everything, and just is phenomenal at her job. The banquet manager also was very nice- and the food (we are foodies) was DELICIOUS- all our guests raved about it. Robbie (the lead server), who catered to our every need that night, was so sweet, helpful and diligent! Many guests commented on how attentive and kind he was- which helped to make our experience even that much better.

Everything from the tasting to the rehearsal and the day of went smoothly, and they guided us through it all. Our ceremony was on the Great Lawn, it was GORGEOUS! Our cocktail hour took place on the patio at the Shenendoah Clubhouse-wow, just beautiful and people are still talking about how good the hors doeuvres were! Our reception was inside the Shenendoah clubhouse and I never imagined a more beautiful sight. The room was amazing, our waitress was so sweet and attentive, and our guests were blown away. We had made special decorations and favors, and the staff did a wonderful job displaying everything just the way we imagined. Our flowers were provided by the Florist at TSRC, and they were just gorgeous!! I have to give a special shout out to Sarah, who was super responsive to phone calls and emails, and helped to make our wedding spectacular.

I knew our day would be beautiful and perfect going into it, but their level of service blew us all away. There is no value that can be placed on the fantastic service we received on our wedding day.

Marissa Hartnett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2014 Turning Stone does an amazing job with weddings. Everyone always says that \"your wedding won't be perfect, something always happens\". That was not the case with our wedding. Turning Stone executed everything perfectly. One of the great things about Turning Stone is that they can basically take care of your entire wedding. We did ceremony, reception, cake, dinner, and decor all through Turning Stone. The only other vendors we had to hire were photographer and music. \r\rAlso their service is amazing! From the second we arrived at Turning Stone their service was top notch. The bellman we had was the friendliest, most accommodating person we had ever met! The personal server we had at the wedding was also beyond believably friendly. He always had an eye on our glasses to make sure they were full. Anything we asked for Turning Stone was on it!\r\rBoth of our families were overly impressed with the venue.

The cocktail hour overlooks the golf course and was beautiful! Our wedding coordinator was wonderful and very responsive to all emails & phone calls throughout our entire planning process. \r\rWith that being said, we did feel that the venue does \"nickel and dime\" you (chairs that were shown with the room were an extra fee; food at cocktail hour was just a display station with crackers & fruit - for more need to pay extra per guest). It was a little frustrating since you are paying top dollar to have it at this location.\r\rOverall, we were happy with the venue and our assigned wedding coordinator; however, wish we would have negotiated the price more and gotten details about all of the \"add-ons\" up front.

Jennifer Kean(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2013 My husband and I were very pleased with our wedding ceremony and reception at Turning Stone.

(Onondaga and Seneca rooms, for reference.)\r \r\rPROS\r\rOur wedding cake was mouthwatering and delicious (Pastry Cream and Fresh fruit - Our classic vanilla cake layered with vanilla bean pastry cream and fresh seasonal fruit.) Bakery decorated our wedding cake exactly as requested and worked with us in depth to make sure we got what we wanted. \r\rThere are two salons at Turning Stone, which is convenient.\r\rGorgeous landscaping, ponds, flowers, trees, golf course and visually attractive indoor areas. \r\rEvent planner included in price. \r\rMultiple hotel options for varying budgets.\r\rEntertainment for guests such as the casino, restaurants, golf, shows, clubs, shops, spa, and salons.\r\rDelicious catering provided by Turning Stone. You can choose from multiple buffets or sit down dinner options. \r\rAffordable location to host a wedding. \r\r\r\rCONS\r\rWe felt that the event planning staff could have responded to email queries faster. \r\rThe hair stylist was a bit too talkative about her own personal life the morning of the wedding when she was in my room to do our hair. She stayed in my room too long after finishing our hair also. \r\rTurning Stone staff left our laptop in the unlocked reception room overnight. They neglected to pick it up with the rest of our belongings, which were returned to us. I was disgusted by this failure, but thankfully the laptop was not stolen. \r Reviewed on 30-12-2013

Our coordinator, Jessica M.,(assigned by the Turning Stone) was remarkable- she gave us personalized tours of all of the new venues at the TS, and was there to answer our questions whenever we needed her! \r\rWe were originally scheduled to get married on the Great Lawn behind the Lodge, but due to rain we had to move it inside of the Shenandoah Clubhouse, which is where our reception would be held later on. Though we were disappointed about not getting our outdoor wedding, we were so pleased with the setup inside- it felt so intimate and personal, which made it even more emotional for us and our guests. \r\rThe reception was absolutely perfect! We were given a sweetheart table on a riser, which made us feel like royalty, and made for some excellent pictures! Our servers made sure that we had time to eat, which was really nice, and the food was absolutely exquisite! We had the Filet Mignon, the Chicken Florentine, and the Pesto Tortellini. Everyone we spoke to was beyond impressed with the food and service that they received at our reception. \r\rThough this venue is definitely not cheap, it is worth every penny.

Our wedding was October 27, 2012 and I truly cannot say enough about them. Whatever we wanted, they were able to do. Our Wedding Coordinator (provided by Turning Stone when you book your wedding with them) understood my vision and she and her team executed it perfectly. There was not one thing that was flawed (that I knew of anyway!) We were able to use their on site florist, and bakery. The food was top notch and even the pickiest of our guests were pleased. We filled our block of rooms and then some at the hotels and when rooms became scarce accommodations was awesome with helping us to get a room when guests were told on the phone there were none available. All of our guests were given an early check in upon arrival. The staff at Turning Stone were extremely helpful and pleasant. \rOur ceremony was held in the Tuscarora-Cayuga rooms and the reception was at the Shenendoah Clubhouse. The Clubhouse does require a 200 person minimum for a Saturday evening wedding. If you're not looking to go that big, Turning Stone can accommodate any wedding size with many options. My suggestion to those looking to book with Turning Stone - Book EARLY. We booked in March of 2011 for and October 2012 wedding and many of the dates were not available so if you have a set date in mind then check it out early. \r As a bride I did not spend my wedding day worrying about whether things would be set up correctly or fall into place. I was able to enjoy my morning at their on-site salon with my girls and then order room service in our VIP Suite before we started getting dressed. (Yes,they even have Suites that you can book to get ready in) \rThe overall experience was amazing and I would not change anything! Reviewed on 23-11-2012

Carrie Fassler(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2011 The Turning Stone has an exceptional package for what is included. The atmosphere is perfect, the staff generous and friendly, and the food generally amazing. I did not give a complete 5Star rating due to the final details. The Tastings were amazing, but what was delivered was not. Our rehearsal food was mixed up (I had asked for a few customizations - and those were lost), and the wedding food was not up to par with what we were shown in the tasting. Our guests thought the food was amazing, so the discepancies went unnoticed. I would reccommend that you follow up on more than one occasion with any customizations to the menu/ set-up.\rThe staff assigned to the bridal party were amazing and overly attentive. We did not want for anything. \rWith a few tweaks here and there, I would definitely reccommend this vendor, and host an event here again.\rWe utilized the Florist at this location for all decorations and floral needs. Gisella is truly amazing. She was patient, kind, and extremely responsive. I trust her to do any floral/decoration for any future event, and would gladly hire her again. \rWe also utlized the Turning Stone Bakery for the cakes. Megan was also truly fun, and attentive. She listened to our wants, adapted the cakes, and came back with what we wanted exactly. We had four flavors of cake, and I did not get to eat all of them, but I have been told all were amazing. I have, and will continue to buy cakes from Megan for other special events. \rI would like to give one last compliment to Jessica M. our final coordinator. While we started out with Michele (whom was just incredible) she made a slight career switch that took her away from us in the final stages of planning. Jessica M. stepped in and did a wonderful job dealing with details she was unfamiliar with, at that point a testy bride who was nearing the end, and helping pull together a magical experience.

Leslie Beauregard(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2011 I would highly recommend Turning Stone Casino to anyone who is considering it. They really take care of you! Prices are reasonable and everything (linens, tableware, table holders, candles, etc.) is included in their packages. There is an unreal amount of food on their station parties but you can elect to do a table service meal, or a standard buffet. On site there is also a florist (I unfortunately would not recommend)and a baker (amazing and highly recommend). There is a team of individuals that work just your party for the entire evening. Once you get all of your \"stuff\" to them, all you need to do is show up. It is BEYOND fairytale! One stop shopping for the bride who wants consistency and the assurance that everything will be as you'd hoped it would. Our guests are still raving about the food and the friendliness of the staff. I can't say it enough, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! Reviewed on 12-08-2011
Kami Shehadi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-07-2011 great place to have a wedding, everything about it was amazing. Very high end with food, drinks and service. the reception was customized exactly how i wanted it, there wasn't anything that they were not willing to do. There is so much to do at the resort, from spa to golf to gambling, our guests loved it. Reviewed on 04-08-2011

Angela Mirarchi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-04-2011 My wedding was held on April 30, 2011 at the Shenendoah Clubhouse at Turning Stone Casino. I could not be more pleased with absolutely everything. I booked the date 18 months in advance, and worked the entire time with Michelle Fleming (Wendt). She was amazing to work with. Answered all emails prmomptly, gave her honest opinions (Only when asked ;) ) and met with me I want to say 5 times. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day, and cocktails were set up both outside and inside, which was perfect. The food was fantastic - for cocktails, we chose coconut shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, spring rolls, and two other hot hors d'overes and they were all amazing. The cocktail spread was insane...so much food - all amazing quality. We did upgrade the bar to the highest level plus added a few beers my husband really loves. Believe me, this led to a wonderful time! ;). The dinner entrees we chose were chicken cordon bleu (believe me...i didn't think we'd pick this one, but at tasting and at the wedding...wow it's AMAZING!), the steak & the vegetarian ravioli. When we walked around to talk to everyone...most of the plates were cleared!! My wedding was the wedding of my dreams. Although pricey, the wedding itself was absolutely fantastic. Every single staff member I interacted with was fantastic, and they treated my family wonderfully. What more could you ask for? Reviewed on 21-05-2011
Sara Morey(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2010 I was appalled at their unprofessional attitude and practices! \rThey started out by opening a cooler in our car (meant for the limo) and freaked out because there was alcohol and they don't allow it. I had to yell just to get the guy's attention and tell him we were leaving it in the car.\rThey didn't deliver all the baskets to the rooms like they said they would and charged us $2 per delivery (after they told me via phone it was a free service).\rFinally, our honeymoon suite on our wedding night smelled like smoke. \rEverything was beautiful there and their robes were very cozy. The twinkle lights over our heart shaped tub were a great touch! Also, the food at the buffet the next morning left a lot to be desired. YUCK! Reviewed on 04-11-2010

Caroline Reynolds(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2008 We loved the setting-- our reception was in a ballroom in the golf club which is separate from the main hotel/casino. There is a patio out back overlooking the golf course which is where we had cocktails and the ballroom itself was a perfect size and looked so elegant. The service was excellent-- they really took care of everything. We loved having everything we needed on-site and since most of our guests were from out of town it was important to us to have a fun place for them to stay. Our guests are still raving about the weekend!;Get in early and be pro-active about booking not only the reception site but also any services you want them to do. They often have 5-6 weddings per weekend so you'll be competing for appointments in the spas rooms for the rehearsal dinner use of limos and buses etc. Everyone will do what they can to make it a perfect day but it is up to you to get on their radar. If someone beats you to it Turning Stone can't help you. Reviewed on 04-09-2008
