venue for very small wedding

HLnCHLnC
in New York
hi everyone ~ I'm looking for a venue in the finger lakes (preferably lakes seneca or cayuga) to host a small (~20 people) wedding ceremony and dinner in July 2011.  I've contacted many of the advertised venues (Glenora, etc.) but I haven't yet found anywhere that can accommodate small weddings.  Although a winery would be ideal, a nice B&B, restaurant, etc. would be okay, too.

We're from Philadelphia and are hoping to make this a mini-destination wedding weekend.

Thanks so much for any suggestions you can provide!

    Miles Winey.... Kev proposed here.  It is a beautiful winery RIGHT on the lake... literally... with an amazing view.  The old house has a lot of really cool history (a ghost love story... etc)
    They do host weddings, mostly outdoors b/c they are very small.
    The staff is wonderful, their wines are amazing!!!  We would have loved to have ours there, but ours is too big, so we ended up at Glenora (way more $$ than I ever intended to spend)
    Anyway, Miles is great and I would highly recommend it for a small wedding.

    Bellhurst on Seneca Lake has a small room usually used for rehearsal dinners that could host a small wedding, and they do really beautiful outdoor ceremonies too. http://www.belhurst.com/
    There is also a really cool hotel in Seneca Falls (Cayuga Lake) called Hotel Clarence. The ballroom might be too big, but the bar downstairs, and the dining room are smaller. This place is aweeeeeeeeeeeeesommmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee. It's a totally reconstructed and renovated old hotel, that is modeled after It's a Wonderful Life (the angel clarence is its namesake). So it has a really cool, old school made modern feel. The suites there are really hott too! And its right on the wine trail - they have a shuttle on weekends that stops right at the hotel. http://www.hotelclarence.com/
    Another idea - in Auburn, (I think this is also Cayuga Lake?) there's a new restuarant - very upscale called Morro's Table. Its amazingly delicious, and really nice. I had a business dinner there, and we were in a private room that accomodated about 30. ( the original chef from Hotel Clarence opened up this venture) http://www.morostable.com/

    Check these out - if you want more ideas just Page me. I know Seneca, Canandaigua, and Cayuga Lakes the best.

    Also check out the Taughannock Farms Inn -- it's on Cayuga Lake!  Very pretty place.
