David & Patrick: Skaneateles Wedding
David and Patrick were married in Skaneateles, New York, a village known as the "Eastern Gateway to the Finger Lakes." The town is defined by its preserved 19th-century architecture and Skaneateles Lake, which is one of the cleanest bodies of water in the United States.
The Venues and History
The couple prepared for the day at the Hannum House. This historic residence is owned by the Sherwood Inn and sits on the same property, located directly next door to the main inn. It served as a private, onsite location for the wedding party.
The ceremony was held at St. James Church on the village shoreline. Founded in 1873, this Episcopal parish is a landmark of Gothic Revival architecture, known for its historic stained glass and its prominent position overlooking the water.
The reception was held at The Sherwood Inn, established in 1808. Originally built by Isaac Sherwood as a stagecoach stop, it remains one of the oldest continuously operating establishments in the region.
