✨ A new gem in the heart of the Finger Lakes ✨


We’re beyond excited to introduce you to The Diamond on Seneca — a brand-new event venue and hospitality destination perched on the western shores of Seneca Lake. With jaw-dropping sunsets, sweeping vineyard views, and elegant interiors that sparkle like the name suggests, we’re creating a space where unforgettable memories are made.


A New Chapter Begins at Diamond on Seneca

If you’ve ever experienced the magic of a celebration at New Park Event Venue, or enjoyed a peaceful weekend tucked away at Mill Creek Cabins, or shared a round of drinks and laughter at Cedarwood Tavern, then you already know a little about our heart and our hospitality. The Diamond on Seneca is our next great adventure — a culmination of years of passion for hosting, design, and creating spaces that feel both elevated and welcoming.


Acres of Possibility

The property spans a stunning 23 acres, just off Ball Diamond Road in the heart of the Finger Lakes. We’re just getting started, but the possibilities here are endless:

✔️ Expansive parking makes guest access a breeze (even for large weddings or festivals)

✔️ A multi-level venue with two ballrooms, two bars, and multiple lounges

✔️ Overnight suites and guest rooms for couples, families, or travelers

✔️ Plans for a vibrant cocktail lounge, café, and seasonal pop-up experiences

✔️ And of course — those iconic west-facing sunsets over Seneca Lake, painting the sky in shades of gold, lavender, and rose each evening


Surrounded by manicured lawns and neighboring vineyards, the Diamond on Seneca sits like a jewel in the landscape — a place where natural beauty meets thoughtful design, and events feel both effortless and extraordinary.


Events That Sparkle

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full-scale wedding celebration, The Diamond on Seneca is a full-service venue with everything you need:

  • On-site catering and bar service

  • Gorgeous spaces for ceremonies, receptions, and after-parties

  • Staffed with experienced hosts who make sure your day flows seamlessly


We’re flexible, too — we proudly welcome outside catering for those with a favorite local chef or cultural tradition (just reach out for more info).


But we don’t stop at weddings. Our doors are open for:

  • Rehearsal dinners and showers

  • Luncheons and retreats

  • Conferences, fundraisers, and meetings

  • Birthday parties (kids or adults!)

  • Bar and bat mitzvahs

  • Fraternity and sorority formals

  • Proms and group celebrations of every kind


With on-site lodging, it’s also the perfect Finger Lakes location for family reunions, corporate retreats, or any gathering where togetherness is key.


Stay the Night (Or a Few)

We offer six beautifully appointed suites, each with modern amenities and thoughtful touches to make your stay both relaxing and inspiring.Some have lake views, others have cozy fireplaces — but all include kitchenettes, stylish design, and an atmosphere of calm luxury. Whether you’re a couple staying after a wedding, a solo traveler exploring wine country, or a family in town for a celebration, our suites are open for direct booking.


A Cocktail Lounge to Remember

One of the showpieces of the property is our upcoming cocktail lounge — a vibrant space that balances sparkle and sophistication. Think sapphire velvet seating, glowing chandeliers, smooth jazz, and artful cocktails that celebrate the spirit of the Finger Lakes.


We’re building a menu that includes:🍸 Inventive takes on Old Fashioneds, Martinis, and Mules🍸 Seasonal and signature drinks (including the Midnight Diamond and Cobalt Spark)🍸 High-end liquors, unique house-made syrups, and elegant garnishes


The lounge will be open to guests and locals alike — a true gathering place where every drink is poured with care and every moment feels special.


The Diamond Standard

At The Diamond on Seneca, our mission is simple: to create beautiful, flexible spaces where people can gather, connect, and celebrate in unforgettable ways. We believe in the power of good food, shared experiences, thoughtful hospitality, and a setting that feels both elevated and approachable.

Our philosophy?

Beauty is in the details

Memories are made in the moment

Sunsets should never be rushed

And great spaces don’t just host events — they elevate them.


We’re proud to be part of the thriving Finger Lakes region, and we’re inspired daily by local creators, travelers, and tastemakers — including the wonderful Finger Lakes Wanderlust, whose travel blog we love following for fresh ideas and hidden gems.


Join Us on the Journey

This is only the beginning. Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes looks at our renovations, updates on booking, signature cocktail reveals, styled shoots, and special events. You’ll meet our team, our partners, and (eventually) the incredible couples and guests who’ll be making memories here.


Until then, follow along, spread the word, and come see us soon. We can’t wait to welcome you to The Diamond.


Here’s to sunsets, to sparkles, and to the stories that haven’t even been written yet.
