The Treman Center is in Ithaca, and it’s hands-down my favorite venue. It has various ceremony options and tons of great spots for photos, and it consists of three floors that you can use. 

This venue combines rustic elegance with modern sophistication, from the Tuscan-style stone courtyard with a tranquil reflecting pool to the gardens to the salvaged barn. 

This venue is located on the grounds of Robert H. Treman State Park. In the surrounding area, you’ll find gorges, waterfalls, and the Finger Lakes Trail. You can even plan an entire weekend wedding experience here.
