Global Wedding Awards 2025 | 9 Best Wedding Venue 2025 – Upstate New York Wren’s Roost is a rustically elegant wedding venue nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes region of Western New York. Sitting on 23 private acres, this custom-built venue overlooks scenic rolling hills, valleys, and a picturesque pond. We learned more about this idyllic location from Owner Stephen Rennoldson, as we celebrate Wren’s Roost in the Global Wedding Awards 2025. Officially launched in 2017, Wren’s Roost’s story is one of serendipity and passion. Owner Stephen Rennoldson had variated from his usual route one morning in 2014, to take his sister-in-law to her father’s house before she attended a wedding. Upon dropping her off, he drove past a beautiful acreage and immediately contacted his wife Renea to meet him there. After getting in touch with the realtor, they conducted a walkthrough of the property and drove to the realtor’s office to make an offer straight away. Whilst there was currently another couple interested in the property, Stephen and Renea’s immediacy and determination ultimately enabled them to secure 6995 Longsdorf Road. After attending a celebration in a rented barn for his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, the cogs began to turn in Stephen and Renea’s minds as they discussed establishing their own barn venue. Two years later the pair hosted their two eldest nieces for the summer, one of whom was planning her 2017 summer wedding. When each venue she considered proved unavailable or unaffordable, Stephen suggested holding the wedding on their property. Works had already begun on the property with the installation of a one acre pond, and the barn was almost complete by the time of the wedding. Once pictures of the event found their way to social media, Stephen and Renea received an influx of enquiries about wedding events on the property. Soon enough, this opportune morning in Upstate New York transformed into a full-time job for the couple. The venue’s charming founding story has set the tone for its daily operations, with an internal culture focused on family and cohesion. Since its inception, the team has always been comprised of family members and close friends who care deeply for Wren’s Roost and for maintaining its stellar industry reputation. As a result, each client receives the very best efforts and meticulous attention from all team members when orchestrating their dream events. “We treat everyone as a member of our family. Our mission is to provide the perfect wedding day for each and every one of our clients,” Stephen told us. “We meet every challenge, whether it is the failure of another vendor, adverse weather conditions, a natural disaster, or any other unforeseen circumstances.” This dedication, alongside its unique nature, has enabled Wren’s Roost to remain a frontrunner in a dynamic market driven by the proliferation of wedding venues. As the demand for unique and memorable wedding experiences continues to rise, more and more venues are fighting to shine in this competitive landscape. Wren’s Roost shines for its picturesque setting, attention to detail and client-centricity, and its ability to cater to a wide range of needs. Its ceremony and dining areas are spacious enough to accommodate 150 guests, yet do not feel out of scale for more intimate gatherings, which are becoming more popular in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In just a few short years, Wren’s Roost has hosted a number of exceptional wedding experiences and has realised the dreams of countless couples, making their special day especially memorable. For this, the Wren’s Roost has earned a number of glowing testimonials, praised for its extraordinary celebrations driven by a passionate team, exceptional property, and unwavering commitment to excellence. “Wren’s Roost was the perfect backdrop for our magical wedding,” wrote Abbie. “The venue itself is breathtaking, with countless picturesque spots for photos. Every detail was meticulously cared for, and the staff were simply amazing. If you’re looking for a venue that will exceed your expectations, I highly recommend Wren’s Roost. They truly helped to make our wedding day a dream come true!” “We were married at Wren’s Roost a week ago,” said Megan. “The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the landscape is so beautiful. When we first toured a little over a year ago, we knew we had found the perfect spot to tie the knot. Stephen and Renea are so easy to work with! Any questions that came up received an immediate answer to and they are more than accommodating. All of our guests raved at how beautiful our wedding was. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space with us. Wren’s Roost will forever hold a special place in our hearts.” Contact: Stephen Rennoldson Company: Wren’s Roost Wedding & Event Barn Web Address: www.wrensroostbarn.com
