Let’s talk about a wedding that oozed high-end fashion, effortless cool, and all the love in the world. Francesca and Chris got married at Inness in Upstate NY, and their wedding wasn’t just a normal day. No, they made it an entire experience for them and their guests, and I can’t wait to share the details with you!
Francesca & Chris’ Upstate New York Wedding Weekend at Inness
When I say this was the chillest yet most stylish couple ever, I mean it. Chris is a pro hockey player (NY Rangers, if you know, you know), and Francesca? A total fashion queen. They skipped the traditional wedding timeline and turned their celebration into a whole weekend!
Day one: Pickleball tournament + a welcome party. A casual yet stylish way to kick things off.
Day two: Pool party ON the morning of the wedding (like… who does that?! Iconic). Mimosas, chic sunglasses, and a whole lot of fun before the ceremony. Then came the wedding, where upscale met laid-back.
This entire wedding felt high-end without feeling stiff or over-the-top. Francesca and Chris kept things real as hell, focusing on spending time with their people, dancing, and just celebrating their love in the most effortless way.
Effortlessly Chic
Every single detail was perfection. Francesca’s gown? A total showstopper. Her accessories? On another level. The florals by Heart and Soil Flowers were organic and romantic, adding the perfect touch to the already stunning scenery of Inness. If you haven’t seen it, this venue is next-level — a mix of modern, rustic, and intimate, all wrapped into one.
And let’s talk about the music. When Hudson Horns started playing, it was game over. The dance floor was packed from the first song, and the energy never dipped. This was the kind of wedding where you just felt the love — between Francesca and Chris, between them and their families, between every guest who showed up ready to celebrate.
Why Inness is the Dream Upstate Yok New Wedding Venue
If you’re looking for an elevated wedding venue that feels intimate, stylish, and completely unpretentious, Inness is it. Tucked away in Upstate New York, this place has everything — gorgeous landscapes, modern yet rustic architecture, and a vibe that’s both chic and welcoming. It’s the kind of venue that makes every moment feel cinematic, from golden hour portraits in the rolling fields to candlelit dinners in the barn.
One of the best things about Inness is that it’s so much more than just a venue. You don’t just show up for a wedding day here. You stay, you unwind, and you actually get time with the people you love. Francesca and Chris’s wedding weekend proved that. They had their pickleball tournament, welcome dinner, pool party, and then the most beautiful sunset ceremony — all without ever leaving the property~
And the aesthetic is actually unreal. Think elevated rustic meets high fashion. The open fields, the modern farmhouse vibes, the way the light hits at golden hour — it’s everything you want in a wedding backdrop. Not to mention the food, the cocktails, and the hospitality? Chef’s kiss!
