Our Wedding

Our story began back in 2015 when we were introduced by our mutual good friend and bridesmaid, Christy Valvano. For a while, you might have thought that TJ was only interested in Abbey because of her UNC accolades and hey, you might be right! Our mutual love for the Tar Heels might have brought us together but since then, we have created a pretty amazing life together over the last 6 years. From walks with our dog Mia, to weekends on the boat and endless concerts, trips and sporting events, we have built a life together based on love, lots of laughter and hard work. We are so excited for our special day and to spend the rest of our lives together. We cannot wait to celebrate with you in September!

Our Story

If you are familiar with the Canandaigua area, you know the history at the Inn on the Lake. After being re-opened in August of 2020, the Lake House has become a premier spot to stay or enjoy a beautiful dinner at the their two restaurants! Enjoy their signature Blue Whale cocktail at the Sand Bar. Nestled at the base of Canandaigua Lake and just 1 mile away from Hotel Canandaigua (our wedding venue).

The Lake House

Another great option is the Holiday Inn Express! Situated close to everything Canandaigua has to offer including the lake and just 1.4 miles away from Hotel Canandaigua (our wedding venue).

Holiday Inn Express Canandaigua - Finger Lakes

Accommodations

Our wedding venue holds a special place in our hearts. Enjoy a walk along Lakeshore Drive, admire the boat houses on the pier, take a trip around the lake on the Canandaigua Lady or when all else fails, a large chocolate twist with rainbow sprinkles from Scoops Ice Cream!

Canandaigua Lake

Young Lion is one of our favorite spots to relax, enjoy a drink (plus a giant pretzel, of course) and soak in the beautiful lake views! Fun fact, the breathtaking upstairs venue will be the location of our rehearsal dinner before the big day!

Young Lion Brewing Company

Why not take a hike and soak in the perfect upstate New York fall day?! Good news is if you make it to the second waterfall, you will be standing right where TJ got down on one knee! If you are feeling hungry after your long hike, check out the burgers and fries at Roots Cafe.

Grimes Glen Park

One of our personal favorite activities! Breathe in the fresh air and epic views while flying through zip-lines and walking on tight ropes! Just don't pull a hamstring before you dance the night away with us! (Speaking from personal experience). Kids and adult friendly!

Bristol Mountain Aerial Adventures

Enjoy the beautiful autumn colors of the Finger Lakes&nbsp;from the chairlift as you ride to the summit of Bristol&nbsp;Mountain.&nbsp;

Bristol Mountain Ski Resort - Fall Sky Ride

The Greenfront is a Canandaigua staple and the perfect spot for a casual drink, pizza, wings and the only spot for Football games!

Greenfront

In the mood for surf and turf?! You will love this cozy spot! Just don't forget to head up to the roof top bar afterwards.
