Intimate Rochester Wedding Planning Made Easy
Gone are the days when elopements or small weddings mean settling for a courthouse ceremony. At The Homemade HQ, in Rochester, NY, we specialize in crafting bespoke wedding experiences that blend the intimacy of a small gathering with the elegance and personalization of a full-scale celebration.
Whether you're dreaming of an elopement or a micro wedding, our historic venue offers everything you need to create lasting memories without compromising your unique style.

Couples often feel torn between the simplicity of a courthouse wedding and the extravagance of a large celebration. But… Why can’t you have the best of both worlds? Actually, you can.
The Homemade HQ bridges that gap, offering the perfect space to celebrate your unique love story. Located in Rochester’s historic Corn Hill District, our 650-square-foot venue is rich with charm, boasting high ceilings, twin chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. Every detail is designed to create an intimate, one-of-a-kind backdrop for your special day. All you have to do is get dressed, grab the rings, and show up! We take care of everything else.
So, why settle for a courthouse wedding when you can have a thoughtfully curated, luxury experience that’s uniquely yours?
