Thank you so much for your interest in The Brewster Inn, located on the southern shore of Cazenovia Lake in Cazenovia, New York.

The Brewster Inn is a fine dining establishment with several different dining rooms to accommodate both small parties of 20–50 people and wedding receptions up to 200. We also have 17 beautifully appointed guest rooms, five of which have breath-taking views of the lake. Our brick terrace, which overlooks the spacious lawn down to the lakefront, is perfect for dining and dancing.

Weddings are held primarily on Saturday afternoons. During the off-season The Brewster Inn will hold some receptions on Sunday afternoons as well. All receptions take place between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., as our restaurant serves dinner at 6 p.m. each night. For your convenience we have created three Wedding options, each of which is based on a four-hour reception with options for the bar for the duration of the event. The minimum attendance (without rental charge) for our receptions is 130. Wedding parties under the minimum number of guests will be billed at half price for each guest under 130. There are some exceptions during the off-season for smaller more intimate receptions.

Please look over our special events materials, including menus and policies. We will be glad to work with you to create the perfect day or evening. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
