The Whitehall Armory is a historic National Guard armory building located at Whitehall in Washington County, New York. It is a brick and stone castle-like structure built in 1899, designed to be reminiscent of medieval military structures in Europe. It was designed by State Architect Isaac G. Perry. It consists of a 2-story, hip-roofed administration building with an attached gable-roofed drill shed. The administration building features a 5-story octagonal tower and a 3+1⁄2-story round tower. We’ve spent countless hours restoring The Whitehall Armory. Now, it sits proudly as a unique home and special resource for the community. We welcome inquiries for private and public events and overnight stays. Contact us for details.

The Whitehall Castle made our wedding day feel like a fairytale. From our first conversation, the team was engaging and genuinely excited to help us plan our event. Having a coordinator on staff was invaluable—he kept everything running smoothly and handled all the details so we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones. The venue itself is stunning with its antique charm and spacious ceremony and reception areas, all kept immaculate. We also rented their getting ready rooms for the evening, which gave us and our wedding party a comfortable space to prepare. We'd recommend The Whitehall Castle to any couple looking for a unique, well-maintained venue with a team that truly cares about making your day special.

The Inn at Erlowest was the perfect venue for our special day. From signing to the day of, the staff was efficient, organized, and friendly in their communication - especially the onsite wedding coordinator. LeAnna and her team were so knowledgeable and good at their jobs that I never stressed about the event. All good vibes! They helped coordinate all of our details; from the night before BBQ, to table linens to photographs of two large families, keeping everything running smoothly and on time. The venue itself is breathtaking. Guests are still telling us that they’re never seen a more beautiful ceremony location, and the reception space is a perfect mix of elegant and down to earth that we were aiming for. The staff truly helped make this the best day of our lives by creating a seamless, stress-free event that allowed us to focus on celebrating with our loved ones. If anything event wrong, I have no idea! We couldn't have asked for more from our venue and highly recommend The Inn at Erlowest to any couple looking for a magical wedding location with top of their game staff. I wish we could do it again!

Marcia and her team at the Marriott helped make our day amazing! She was very patient with us and our multiple changes along the way. The chef, bartenders, servers, and everyone in between did a lovely job at both our welcome event and our reception. While some communication was difficult along the way, Marcia really prioritized us in the couple weeks leading up to the wedding. If we could redo, we would have our wedding here again.

From the moment we started planning, Rachael at Hiland Park Country Club made the entire process feel effortless. She answered every question promptly and was genuinely kind throughout our conversations, which made us feel confident in our choice. On our wedding day, Matt and Kaisa took everything to the next level—they had our bridal and groom suites stocked and ready, handled all the decor setup beautifully, and were there to solve any little issues that popped up. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and the team's flexibility with our timeline and willingness to help with last-minute adjustments meant we could actually enjoy the day instead of stressing.

We highly recommend the Queensbury Hotel as a wedding venue! What drew us to this venue was its history, architecture, location (right in downtown Glens Falls), newly remodeled guest rooms, and convenience for our guests. Having all the guests and wedding day events in one building made the day seamless. We chose the Gold Room and Queen’s Ballroom because we loved the architecture of the rooms and the chandeliers. The space is so beautiful that you can be minimal on decor. Our wedding coordinator, Kamay, was extremely helpful and always responsive to my numerous emails. The food was fantastic, and we’ve received rave reviews from our guests on the food, too. We highly recommend this venue and are so happy with how our special day turned out!

We got married at Saratoga National Golf Club on April 12th, and it was truly the most incredible experience from start to finish. If you’re considering this venue—book it. You will be in the absolute best hands. Saratoga National partners with Mazzone Hospitality (or vice versa!), and their team is second to none. Our sales coordinator, Ellie, was a total gem. She was responsive, supportive, and never nickel-and-dimed us on small changes or additions. Planning from out of town can be stressful, but she made everything easy and even helped us find smart ways to cut costs without sacrificing the experience. The day before the wedding, our event manager, J’Leen, carefully set up all of our candles and décor exactly as we envisioned. She was professional, incredibly hardworking, and so thoughtful. I can’t say enough about what a great manager she is—she truly has everything down to a science. On the day of the wedding, the team executed everything flawlessly. They were kind to our guests, cleared plates quickly, and remained accessible throughout the event. After the celebration, they packed up all our items with care so we could easily pick them up the next morning. Now, let’s talk about the food—our guests are STILL raving about it! Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. As someone who works in Human Resources and plans corporate events multiple times a year, I’ve worked with many venues—and I can confidently say this team is the best I’ve ever encountered. If you’re comparing Saratoga National to other venues, let me save you the trouble: choose this one. You’ll be taken care of every step of the way. Thank you to the entire team for giving us a day that exceeded every expectation. We are beyond grateful!
