Updated: 2 days ago

Rehearsal dinner venue at Diamond on Seneca in Hector

When you're planning a wedding, it's more than just one big day. Don't forget about those events before and after: the rehearsal dinner or post-wedding brunch


The rehearsal dinner is often the first time both families get to relax together, and the post-wedding brunch gives everyone one last chance to catch up before heading home. Those moments can be some of the most memorable parts of the weekend.


If you're looking for a private event venue in the Finger Lakes to host smaller wedding events, Diamond on Seneca in Hector offers beautiful spaces overlooking Seneca Lake, perfect for gathering with family and friends.


Our Panorama Room comfortably accommodates groups of 30 to 150 guests, while our private dining rooms are ideal for more intimate gatherings of up to 40 guests. Whether you're hosting a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, bridal brunch, or post-wedding brunch, you'll enjoy stunning lake views in a relaxed setting just minutes from Watkins Glen and Ithaca.

During restaurant hours, Diamond on Seneca provides the room with no additional rental fee, provided the party meets a $1,000 food minimum. Most rehearsal dinners and brunches naturally meet that minimum, making this an easy and budget-friendly choice for couples getting married in the Finger Lakes.


Some couples keep things casual with a welcome party, while others plan a traditional rehearsal dinner with toasts and speeches. However you choose to celebrate your wedding weekend, we'd love to be part of it. For smaller gatherings, individuals can order directly from our restaurant menu. If you're planning something larger or want a more customized experience, we can customize your experience with a plated or buffet dinner, grazing stations, or passed hors d'oeuvres.
