Fall Weddings at Firelight Camps

boho ceremony setup in woods

There’s something undeniably magical about a fall wedding—and Firelight Camps captures that magic like nowhere else in the Finger Lakes. With glowing foliage, crisp mountain air, and a golden-hour glow that feels straight out of a movie, autumn is one of the most sought-after seasons to say “I do” in Ithaca.

Set on the grounds of La Tourelle, Firelight offers a one-of-a-kind setting for couples who want something less traditional and more experiential. Think: cozy canvas tents, twinkling lights, and a crackling campfire as your backdrop.

Why Fall?
October is our peak season for a reason. The hillsides blaze with color, the air is cool and comfortable, and the whole property feels alive with the energy of harvest time. It’s the perfect blend of nature and celebration—and the kind of setting that makes every wedding feel personal and unique.

What Makes Firelight Weddings Special

  • Canvas tent lodging for up to 50 guests, complete with real beds and luxe linens

  • Campground buyouts so your friends and family can stay close and celebrate together

  • Ceremony sites nestled in the woods or on the lawn, with views of fall foliage

  • Built-in gathering spaces like the lounge tent and fire circle

  • On-site spa pre-wedding massages, facials, and pampering at August Moon Spa

  • Walkable trail access to Buttermilk Falls—great for wedding photos or guest adventures

Make It a Full Weekend
Firelight weddings aren’t just a one-day affair—they’re a whole experience. Welcome your guests with local wine and cider around the fire, start the day with outdoor yoga or a guided hike, and wind down with a laid-back brunch the morning after. You can even add on live acoustic music or a wine tour to round out the weekend.
