"I will probably get teary eyed just writing this review, because everything about our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and so much of that was because of La Tourelle. Scott & Cameron were so unbelievably helpful and attentive and just went above and beyond for us, but the lion's share of my praise goes to Christina, who honest to God is just a superhuman. She was the decision maker in the beginning, because so many venue's communication was terrible and that was a red flag for me. Christina was quick, thorough, and made me feel like she could handle anything. And BOY did she. Any wild idea I threw at her she was game for, and if it wasn't possible, she found an alternative. When my swags were too heavy for my arbor, she made it work. When I couldn't find wine barrels for my aisle, she found them AND handled the transport. If there were any hiccups on the day of, she never let me know. I'm sure she did more for me than I will ever know, and I'm so grateful to her. She is genuinely just such a wonderful person and I could heap praise on her endlessly. All of our rooms were beautiful and clean, the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The grounds were immaculate and so naturally beautiful we barely had to do anything. Everyone got to know our families during our stay and made us feel like they were as excited for our wedding as we were. And the FOOD, my God the food. I should've brought a tupperware to fill and hidden it in my room. My biggest regret is that I didn't eat enough of it. I'm so happy that we'll be able to return to La Tourelle for years to come and remember the happiest day of our lives. And I'm sure the whole staff will be as warm and welcoming as we remember."

"We absolutely can't say enough good things about La Tourelle, so I wanted to add a few points. The La Tourelle staff are amazing. Scott and Christina both treated us like family and worked hard to make our special day perfect. It went without a hitch, and I have no doubt that it was due to the extreme care they put into everything. We had both a brunch reception and a barbecue dinner. All of the food was amazing! Guests raved about both meals and we all ate until we were stuffed. The selection of local beer and wine really helped it feel like a special Ithaca event. We had both events outside on the terrace, which is gorgeous, but it's worth a mention that the banquet room is absolutely beautiful! For anyone else making a weekend out of their wedding, there are hiking trails that run from La Tourelle's property to Buttermilk Falls state park. Our guests had a great time on the trails between our reception and the barbecue. We rented the Yellow Barn, which was a fantastic place to have small family gatherings and to get ready before the ceremony. It also has a fire pit outside where we were able to have our afterparty with lots of s'mores! We cannot recommend La Tourelle enough. Everything was wonderful. We can't wait to go back and visit!"

"My husband and I chose LaTourelle for our wedding venue. We could not be happier with how everything turned out! We have been in contact with Christina for two years prior to our wedding day and she delivered exactly what she promised. The ceremony and reception set-up and decorations were top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly and professional. We had a bonfire after party once the reception was over and everyone enjoyed themselves. We would like to thank Christina and the LaTourelle staff for making our wedding day so special."

"We couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding experience! The staff and every single thing about La Tourelle exceeded our expectations. We luckily stumbled upon La Tourelle on our hunt for a new venue only 2.5 months ago. We first met with Scott who showed us the venue and graciously got us lunch at Bistro (which was delicious!) and than was introduced to the amazing Christina, the event coordinator. Christina was a dream to work with! She made us feel so comfortable, always responded quickly and did so much to make our day perfect. We stayed in the Yellow Barn Suite which was the perfect place for all the ladies to get hair and makeup done and get ready for the wedding. Since everything was all on property, it made everything so relaxed and easy. Christina was a total rock star the day of the wedding! She was not only the coordinator but our DJ during the ceremony and our bartender for the evening! She did everything with such a calmess and always with a smile on her face. I cannot praise her enough! She is truly a gem!! The chef was amazing as well! we decided on a BBQ theme dinner and the food was out of this world! Our guests said we need to have a party here once a year so they could experience the food all over again! The ENTIRE staff at La Tourelle was extremely accomadating, professional, fun, sweet and made all of our stays such a lonely experience. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they deserve it!! We can't wait to plan another trip to this beautiful place!!"

"La tourelle is amazing. The location, the food, fairly priced, but most importantly the people. I felt like the entire 1.5 year since I booked like I was the only wedding they cared about (which is obviously not true - they are just that good at making you feel so special). I knew the moment I talked to them that their responsiveness & professionalism would win here. Christina is honestly amazing and works tirelessly and was basically as if we invested in a wedding planner. Our day was perfect, I felt like they went above & beyond and I really want to thank La Tourelle for all they did. Please book your wedding there!!"
