Emerson Park Pavilion

Located in scenic Cayuga County, this historic landmark rests on the shores of the majestic Owasco Lake. After its recent restoration, the Emerson Park Pavilion preserves its charm while providing distinctly modern amenities. Over the past hundred years, Emerson Park has hosted carnivals on its expansive lawns and steamboat rides across the shimmering lake. Now the venue serves as an idyllic year-round wedding destination in Central New York. Begin your ceremony in front of the pavilion’s white columned facade. Admire the rings of blooming orange, red and yellow flowers radiating from the iconic fountain. Art Nouveau lampposts frame your ceremony, curving above the stone path. As you dine in the elegant pavilion ballroom, delight in the grand windows and picture molding lining the white walls. Partake in the famous regional cuisine by savoring the seared chicken breast or fresh pesto ricotta lasagna. As you gaze onto Owasco Lake, fading afternoon light catches on the rims of your crystal glasses. Draw your night to an close by standing on the broad veranda, watching the sun slide behind the silhouette of Ithaca’s hills.
