Weddings UnfilteredEpisode 23: The Saturn ClubThe Saturn Club was founded in 1885 by thirteen enthusiastic young men who felt the need to congregate in a less formal setting than their 'Father's Club', founded in 1867. They first congregated on Saturdays (thus the name) to socialize and play cards. While Saturn Club members are active in all aspects of the community, the Club remains true to its origins. It is a social club first, offering recreation, fine dining, fitness programs, member-friendly banquet facilities, and meeting rooms with high-tech support. We've come a long way since 1885, and we look forward to exceeding our standards as Western New York's p...

With unknown shut down and supply chain issues (that we still are feeling years later) we decided to move to focus solely on wedding gowns. The purpose was to ensure anybody that wanted to wear a wedding gown could do so despite their time frame, size, race, religion, disability or self...

In Gaelic kin means "family" and loch means "lake." Our hope is that Kin Loch will be a place where families can celebrate love and life, right here at our little farm between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
