Many memories for me over the years including getting lost in the maze at Halloween time to going with my parents when they were studying horticulture at the college and they went there to study all the different plants and trees. I got to tour the mansion and wonder in the gardens. More...

Sonnenberg has great events and beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. My husband and I were married June 2016, in the garden, with the reception in the mansion and on the porch. It's a state park, so event manager is not a wedding planner; ie: hire one or prepare to be very involved in the process. Do no get ready in the bridal chamber in the summer-- the a/c is inadequate. We found our wedding car and driver at Sonnenberg's vintage car show; he had also been married at Sonnenberg. More...

if you can't stand a sunny day with a partial shade in the park, do go in the wine cellar and gift shop. I will have grief without the support.

My wedding was on 9/1/18. On 8/31/18, due to an emergency, the pianist I hired for my wedding was unable to play. My maid of honor posted on the Rochester area wedding swap page that we needed someone urgently. Alexandra was the first to reply and was able to come to rehearsal that night. She practiced and helped us work through the music that we had provided and she brought her own! The day was beautiful and Alexandra helped make it happen. She played beautifully and we will forever be grateful for making our day special with such short notice! More...

Last minute I decided that I wanted to have music at my wedding. I was not really sure where to go or where to look. And then I came across Heartfelt Harmonies. Thankful they were available on our date, I booked them last minute.
I'm not really sure where to start because I have been so taken back by the compassion, helpfulness and professional that both Alexandra and Nichole portrayed.
The Wednesday before our wedding I reached out to see if they were available to come for our rehearsal, without question they said they would be there. Both Alexandra and Nichole are genuine individuals who both love the work they do, you can clearly see that through the quality of work they display.
At the wedding Heartfelt Harmonies played during the ceremony and during cocktail hour. I'm so thankful to have had them as part of my day. The music was absolutely wonderful. We received numerous compliments. Thank you both so very much for making my ceremony and wedding so incredibly special. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Heartfelt Harmonies for any wedding or party!! Thank you again! ❤️ More...

My family recently hired Alexandra from Heartfelt Harmonies to play for 2 hours during a 70th birthday party for my mother. She put together a great set after reaching out multiple times to capture the feel of the event and even learned a new song that was popular on the day my mom was born. Alexandra played beautifully, was very easy to work with, and helped make the event a memorable one. Multiple guests commented on how great the piano playing was. Alexandra is a talented piano professional with reasonable rates. Highly recommend. More...

Heartfelt Harmonies we had Alexandra Pond who plays the piano for our ceremony musician - which I kind of booked only a month in advance and THANK GOD I DID! Alexandra was always keeping in constant communication with me, she was so wonderful to work with, and kept my wishes! I really hoped to keep the processional song, and the song I walked down to a secret, but was so nervous and concerned about the timing. Alexandra was so kind, to calm my nerves, she came to our rehearsal to watch the timing and how it was all going to go so that she could get on cue with our officiant (who was my grandma) and make sure that the timing of the songs to people walking down was perfect! I mean literally - it was perfect! During rehearsal I though to make it work I was going to have to have her play the songs, but she said "Absolutely not! We're going to make it work". Seriously she was so amazing. I waited until last minute because I kept going back and forth on if we had it in the budget to get a ceremony musician or not and ultimately we did not. Then I saw someone post that they were looking for someone under a certain price range and I saw her comment. Once I checked out her page I knew I had to have her! She is so worth every penny. Not only that, she was so kind to send us the sweetest gift after the wedding as well. You will not regret spending the extra money on Alexandra! More...

My husband & I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary here. We just happened to come on opening day. We were the first customers, and the " First Victoms at the Café of their 14th year. " The food was very fresh, our hostess/cook/waitress was fabulous. We especially enjoyed the wine cellar. Our host was very informative and pleasant. We loved spending time with her. The day was on the cool and rainy side so we took a tram to hitch a ride to the mansion. I have toured several castles and estates in Germany and I saw bits and pieces of it in the mansion. How lovely. Stained glass, antiques, loved it all. The greenhouse were awesome, as a lover of Orchids and all things tropical. We plan another trip in the summer months to see it in full bloom.

The array of gardens is amazing! Each has its own beauty! The orchid house is just gorgeous. It's really unbelievable! The distance between gardens is not far at all easy walking And it all blends beautifully! The mansion was beautiful. Not over the top like Newport Rhode Island but still pretty! They have a small gift shop and a speaker was in the winery teaching about how to grow orchids. Lots of fun ! More...

This is a lovely treasure in Canandaigua that was purchased by the state but is maintained by fundraising efforts by the staff. I think that is important to note. These efforts are made by people who love this site on a small budget. This said, they do an amazing job. Reading throughout the reviews I was somewhat surprised to see complaints about weeding not being up to par. Weeds, as we all know, are quite pervasive and can take up an entire budget on their own. What these people have managed to do throughout entry fees and donations is quite extraordinary. The tasting room is a nice touch. My docent in the mansion was so passionate about the property- it is exactly what you want when you visit a historic site. I highly suggest this. If there are weeds when you visit - accept that this is nature, the very kind staff will get to them when they can. More...

This a great garden that is being saved by a wonderful group of individuals trying to preserve something special. Well worth the trip to see as a garden or as a place for the history buff.
