Wren's Roost Barn is a custom-built wedding barn on 23 private acres overlooking rolling hills and valleys in Naples. The property has a one-acre pond, and the ceremony site looks out over it. Finger Lakes readers voted the venue FLX Finest Gold for Wedding Venue in 2022, 2024 and 2025. It placed Silver in the same category in 2023.
The owner signs the venue's About page with only a first name, Steve. He writes that he spotted the land from the road on the morning it was listed, and that he and his wife decided on seeing the view that they would buy it. The family had rented another barn for a dance for Steve's parents' 50th wedding anniversary and thought the property should have one of its own. They dug the pond before the barn was built.
The barn was nearly finished by the summer 2017 wedding of Steve's goddaughter, far enough along to use. After photos spread on social media, other couples asked to hold their weddings there. Steve writes that it became his full-time job, and that the land was always meant for weddings.
The venue can host up to 150 guests. It is rented without catering, so couples choose their own vendors. The rental includes the timber-framed barn, an outdoor bar, a patio, the ceremony site by the pond, a pavilion, a fire pit with firewood, tables and chairs, outdoor seating and the whole 23 acres. Dogs are welcome at the ceremony if they are leashed, cleaned up after, and someone is available to take them home afterward.
The venue's FAQ says Naples has no traditional hotels or motels. It points couples to short-term rentals in the Naples and Bristol Hills area, with over 400 beds within 15 minutes of Naples, to bed and breakfasts, and to the newly reopened historic Naples Hotel. Wren's Nest, a separate rental house next to the barn, is available for stays before, during or after an event.
Weddings are held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and tours are by appointment only. Contact is by email at steve@wrensroostbarn.com or by text to 585-750-7454, which the site asks for.
