The Wadsworth Homestead

The Wadsworth Homestead is a historic country manor in Geneseo, New York, offered as a setting for weddings, private celebrations and selected business or community gatherings. Set among pastoral grounds overlooking the Genesee Valley, the estate pairs the character of an early nineteenth-century family home with spaces for hosting guests indoors and outdoors.

Couples can hold a wedding at the Homestead, with arrangements designed for both smaller celebrations and larger gatherings. The house has several connected first-floor rooms, including a dining room, drawing rooms and a library, as well as a long west-facing veranda. In warmer months, a tent provides additional event space. The estate also offers wedding packages, and its upstairs bedrooms can be included for overnight stays for up to 12 people. The rooms can also provide a place for the wedding party to prepare on the day.

Beyond weddings, organisers can enquire about birthday and anniversary celebrations, reunions, showers, private dinners, retirement and holiday parties, memorial receptions, fundraising events, dances, concerts and corporate retreats. The Homestead can host different types of gatherings throughout the year, with capacities depending on the season and format. For example, the house can be arranged for cocktail receptions or seated dinners, while the summer tent accommodates larger groups.

The venue’s team works with organisers on event arrangements and can provide information about available packages and pricing. Food and drink for weddings are provided through the Homestead’s in-house caterer. With its historic interiors, estate grounds and range of indoor and seasonal outdoor spaces, the property offers a distinctive location for celebrations and organised events.
