    We had our wedding at the Statler which was incredible! Melissa and Casandra were such a joy to work with! They made the planning process easy and stress-free. They answered our many emails and provided us with all the information we requested or needed. They made us and our guests feel important and cared for. The Statler Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The staff at the check-in desk were very nice and helped us with the check-in and check-out process. They also helped us pick up our wedding decor the day after our event. The ballroom space is beautiful and the wedding suite was clean and spacious! Chef Eric and his team did an incredible job curating a tasty menu! The food was delicious, and we received so many compliments from our friends and family about the food. We highly recommend the Statler for your wedding!

    I have had the pleasure of photographing many weddings with the Statler hotel over the years, and I have always been amazed at their professionalism and attention to detail. Melissa Hill is so kind, and makes sure that all of the guests at the event have the best experience possible. The hotel itself is beautiful, they serve amazing food, and the accommodations at the hotel are so high quality. This is the perfect venue to accommodate all of your guests in the heart of Cornell.
