Absolutely Amazing!

Our experience planning our wedding at Tioga Downs was nothing less than exceptional. Rea will be your biggest cheerleader and will help in absolutely ANY way she can! She made the planning feel so easy and relaxed- answered all of our questions- and was incredibly flexible with all our crazy ideas. All of our guests had an amazing time and it is a night we will surely never forget! Thank you!

Perfection!

We both thought our wedding was absolutely perfect. Reailyna Whyte and her staff did an amazing job of organizing everything so we didn’t have to worry about much and the set up was great. The reception hall was beautifully decorated and I can’t thank them enough again for being so accommodating for all of our needs and wishes. Service was phenomenal all around, as were the food and drink. I know everyone who came had a great time. They also really enjoyed staying in the hotel and experiencing the casino, restaurants, and horse racing- many of whom for the first time. It truly is an awesome venue. Once again, thank you so much to Tioga Downs for making our special day so perfect. We could not have done it without you and everyone at Tioga Downs.
