3 reviews for Belhurst Castle
Geneva has two faces... a gorgeous Finger Lake community, with deteriorating conditions.
My friend's wedding was at the Belhurt Castle, situated on top of a hill over looking the Seneca Lake.
As for the wedding details, booking the Belhurst is ideal for weddings with less than 100 guests. The hotel only allows 10 rooms to be blocked, forcing your guest to stay elsewhere. I feel I could have made my dinner that I had been served, and we all left hungry. Thank god for an open bar!
The property is gorgeous though with a vast lawn, various patios and decks to sit and sip a drink looking at Seneca Lake. If you are looking for a ceremony and/or reception venue take a peak at the Belhurst Castle.
Not sure about weddings...it is an ideal location but I just stopped in for the buffet lunch at Edgar's and was completely turned off from the place. I mean, if I was 80 and had lost all of my taste buds I'd probably be into the food...but I'm not. Just to give you an idea the buffet included: canned vegetables, iceberg lettuce salad, make-it-yourself sandwiches with wegman's bread, oily pasta with no flavor, and they didn't even do a decent molten chocolate cake. I did not order it but someone at the table did and I had to try. How can you mess up undercooked chocolate cake? The ambiance smells like old people and was generally appalled that they serve crap for food and charge for it. Would never recommend Edgar's for anything. If they cater the weddings there...watch out.
We were just married at belhurst and thoroughly enjoyed not only our wedding festivities but our stay as well. We've been quite a few times and have had mixed relations with the staff working the reservations. On the reservation front, be sure to absolutely clarify your dates and rooms; call again before you arrive to be sure of your reservation. There are a few terrific people at the front desk (namely Audrey) but there are those who screwed up one of our guests reservations, booking her for stay the year after our wedding - drama. Its not as up tight and for the 80+ crowd as some say, we're late 20's and had a great time at the bar (stonecutters) and terrific meals at the restaurant (Edgar's). Our reception food was excellent and well prepared, the service prompt and accomodating and the atmosphere will blow you out of the water. We ate brunch on sunday which was not only tasty and fresh but also affordable ($10), our rehearsal dinner options were creative and all 33 of us had nothing but good things to say about the food and service. As for the rooms they are top notch and some of the best that we've visited in the area. We stayed in the higher grade room in the vinifera (turret room) for our wedding weekend and were again pleasantly surprised by the comfort, roominess and cleanliness. The Turret rooms have a roomy jacuzzi in the room itself and two sinks and a double headed shower in the bathroom, also a bar area and fireplace. If you're in the area stop by for a wine tasting (try the golden pheasant and rieslings of course)
