When we first booked Glen Sanders, someone told my mother that Glen Sanders runs like a well-oiled wedding machine. They were spot on. Glen Sanders knows weddings. Every vendor was thrilled to hear we were working with them. They made the entire process so easy, so clear. Maki, our bridal attendant, was INCREDIBLE. She greeted us off the bus with our champagne flutes, made sure I was hydrated all during photos, helped me with my dress, and brought me down my sneakers at the reception, among many other things. Glen Sanders also sets up all of your cocktail hour Hors d'œuvres in a separate room for you to eat before going to your reception, and it was the moment my husband and I needed to catch our breath and feel "present" for the rest of the night. People often say their wedding was a blur, but we remember every detail thanks to that moment to pause. As for the venue itself, all of our guests still talk about how great of a setup it was. We got ready on-site (groomsmen downstairs, bridesmaids upstairs, MOG got her hair done in the salon downstairs), our cocktail hour outside and on the enclosed porch, the reception in the ballroom, our after party in the basement bar (Speak-easy vibes!), and then we stayed up with close friends and siblings around the fire until the early hours before going to sleep in our rooms on-site! Glen Sanders is certainly a one-stop shop for everything, and their product is unparalleled. Thank you, GSM team, for the best night of our lives! -Elaina and Bill

OMG!!! Mohawk River Country Club was an absolute dream come true. I truly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue for one of the most important days of my life. Sal and Stephanie, along with the entire staff, were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and kind- always there whenever I had a question throughout the entire process. They truly treated us like family! Our guests haven’t stopped raving about how breathtaking the venue and ballroom are, and the cocktail hour was beyond anything we could have imagined. I had guests who have attended 50 weddings say they’ve never seen a display like Mohawk offers. From the delicious drinks to the stunning aesthetics throughout, to the incredible bridal suite for getting ready and taking photos- everything was picture-perfect, and no one could stop snapping photos. Christian and I truly cannot recommend this venue enough. It should be the very first place anyone visits when searching for their wedding venue. Sal and Stephanie are the perfect team, keeping everything on track and ensuring the entire day ran seamlessly. I can’t thank them enough for making all of my dreams come true. I’ve been telling everyone- it was even more perfect than I ever imagined. I wish I could rewind and do it all over again. Best day ever!!!! Thank you so much Steph and Sal!!!

Everyone at Holiday Inn was amazing. Everything I wanted for my wedding was done and was perfect. The decor was amazing, the food was great, and the layout of the room was great. All my guests were able to see the dance floor from their seats. There was also a discount for guests staying at the hotel. I had many complements from my guests about the reception as well. The price was low considering the location is in downtown Saratoga Springs. The hotel has a staircase in the back that leads to Congress Park for beautiful pictures.

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!

Adirondack Winery was the perfect choice for my Parents' 25th wedding anniversary celebration! From start to finish, the team made the planning process seamless and stress-free, ensuring every detail was just right for the event. The party took place in the beautiful Mezzanine Event Space, which was absolutely stunning. The rustic-industrial decor, with its oakwood floors, charming chandeliers, and wine barrel accents, created such an elegant and inviting atmosphere. The large windows overlooking the winery added a unique touch that our guests couldn’t stop oohing and aahhing over! The winery’s team went above and beyond to make the day memorable. We enjoyed a delicious charcuterie spread and got to choose a selection of their handcrafted wines and ciders (along with some beers and spirits) to serve. The wines were a huge hit! We also added on a winery tour, which was such a fun and unique activity for everyone. Not only was the venue itself beautiful, but the staff were friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive. They made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the celebration.

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.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful, inclusive, and accessible venue! Knowing that the vast majority of our guests would have to fly in to our wedding, no matter where we had it, it was important to us that we had a venue we could book for the whole weekend. Combined with all of the amenities Wylder offers, it was a no-brainer. The wedding weekend would not have gone as smoothly as it did without the incredible staff, particularly Andrea and Faith. From the moment of our first phone call until we were leaving the farewell brunch, they took care of us every step of the way. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating, and Wylder truly felt like our home for the weekend.
