If you’re looking for a modern and sophisticated wedding venue in Rochester, NY, the Strathallan Hotel should be at the top of your list. The Strathallan has been completely transformed over the last eight years into one of the finest wedding reception venues in Rochester, and, in particular, the glass-walled ninth-floor ballroom has some of the best views in town.
The Strathallan is located on East Ave, just a few blocks from the Memorial Art Gallery, George Eastman Museum, and Genesee Valley Club. Your guests will love having their own refined hotel room just a few steps away after celebrating well into the night at your reception.
Ninth-Floor Glass Wall Ballroom
The most distinctive and spectacular space in the Strathallan is the ninth-floor ballroom. Fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, wedding receptions here are a magical experience. The windows soak in the sunset as your wedding moves from day to night, and it’s lovely to step out on the balcony overlooking the city to enjoy the fresh air.
The Strathallan’s modern-American food service is second to none in the city, and the ballroom can seat an impressive 260 people. Even better is your option to reserve Hattie’s, the adjoining dark wood-paneled bar that’s a destination all its own. Combining Hattie’s and the ballroom means that skilled bartenders will serve your guests out of the way of the dance floor and tables, and many couples choose this option.
Inclusive Options
The perks of holding your wedding at the Strathallan start well before your reception. Ape + Canary is a leading Rochester-area spa and salon, and it’s located directly across the street from the hotel. Meal tastings are complimentary, as are a champagne toast, hand-passed hors d’oeuvres, centerpieces, coffee station, and table linens. Oh, and you get a wedding night suite included, too!
While outdoor wedding ceremonies can be held on the grounds next to East Ave, many couples choose to get married at a local church or venue like the George Eastman Museum, and then hold their reception at the Strathallan. The unique strength of the Strathallan is hosting epic receptions in their ninth-floor ballroom.
The Strathallan Hotel is an ideal location for your luxurious and elegant wedding reception. From spectacular views to great food, you and your guests will enjoy world-class accommodations to enjoy it all and make your wedding an event to remember.
