What is the Gauger Estate?
The Gauger Estate is an adjacent pair of family-owned properties in South Hannibal, NY that includes The Gauger House, The G Lodge, and Fay Flower Farm. Together, these spaces create a warm, timeless setting for weekend-long celebrations filled with comfort, nature, and creativity.

How many guests can the property accommodate?
Our maximum capacity for outdoor weddings at either property is 165 guests. For indoor or more intimate weddings, more options are available.

Are accommodations available on-site?
Yes! Overnight lodging is available at The Gauger House and The G Lodge. Our packages include access to these spaces for your wedding weekend.

How far in advance should we book?
Most couples reserve their date 12–18 months in advance. Popular summer and fall weekends fill quickly, so we recommend securing your date early.

Do you offer different wedding packages?
Yes. We offer three customizable packages, and range from venue-only rentals to full-service weekend experiences that include floral design, décor, and coordination. Packages can be tailored to fit your unique vision.

What’s required to reserve our date?
A signed rental agreement and 30% deposit are required to hold your date. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your event.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring your own. We also offer a Preferred Vendor Catalogue of local wedding planners, caterers, musicians, photographers, florists, and artists who know the property well.

Is alcohol and/or cannabis allowed?
Yes. You may bring your own alcohol or cannabis or hire a bar service. All persons consuming alcohol or cannabis must be 21 years of age or older.

Can we host our ceremony and reception in different areas?
Of course. Many couples choose an outdoor ceremony on the farm, followed by dining and dancing under the pavilion at The Lodge. We’ll help you plan the flow to make the most of each space.

What’s the rain plan?
We have a covered pavilion at The G Lodge and tent options available for ceremony or reception coverage. Our team will help you plan a seamless backup layout.
