We chose Hotel Lilien as our wedding venue for our intimate wedding, having never even visited New York, and it was above and beyond our wildest dreams. Everyone at Hotel Lilien is so kind, and TRULY treat you as family. Our wedding was nearly 6 months ago and our family + friends still talk about how lovely everyone + everything was. We stayed from a Thursday - Sunday and honestly I wish we would've come even sooner to eat more food, drink more of their specialty cocktails, and just take everything in. Hotel Lilien is truly a special place.

We knew we had wanted to get married up in the Lake George area, and I cannot recommend the Silver Bay YMCA enough. The location is without compare; between the gorgeous scenery , the serene lake, and the amazing staff, we had an incredible experience from start to finish. Our journey with booking started with Renee who was so kind and answered all our questions. She worked with us in securing what we needed for our wedding. After we finalized everything with Renee she passed us on to Adrian their wedding coordinator who we also hired as our day of coordinator. She was so knowledgeable and worked with us on how we wanted to decorate the space, we did DYI all of our decor for the event. She was also the point of contact for our vendors on the day of. She was so helpful and is a real asset to their overall team. This is not your typical YMCA, none of our guest expected such a beautiful venue. The food was also phenomenal, everyone loved what we had chosen for dinner and cocktail hr. They were very accommodating even with day before ceremony location switch due to weather. During the day of Adrian made sure we ate and took care of us throughout the day. We cannot thank the entire staff enough for making our wedding day as perfect as possible. It was everything we had envisioned and more.

Connie at The Adelphi is truly the best in every way! She is so down-to-earth, wonderful to work with, and hands down the best in the business. Throughout the planning process, she kept everything on track and was always prepared with thoughtful ideas and reminders to make sure our day flowed seamlessly. On the wedding day itself, she and her team made everything absolutely perfect — my husband and I were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing that all the details were being handled flawlessly behind the scenes. Looking back, we wouldn’t change a single thing. The Adelphi itself is stunning and first class in every way, and with Connie leading the way, it was a dream come true. We cannot recommend her and The Adelphi enough!

What an amazing venue!! To be able to use the entire courtyard for the ceremony and cocktail hour to the ballroom. Just Gorgeous!!! Worth the amount of money we paid. And the staff…very very respectful and professional. This was my dream come true wedding.

We had our 70-person wedding at Vanderbilt Lakeside and could not have asked for a better experience! Having the entire space for the whole weekend, including 8 upstairs hotel-style rooms, was an amazing way to spend extra time with our family, and was especially great for our many young nieces and nephews who loved exploring the deck and back yard. Henrietta (owner) was extremely responsive and organized throughout the entire planning process, and thoughtful about making the weekend as we envisioned. The space is beautifully appointed and required very little additional decorating for the event. The food was fantastic, and our guests with dietary restrictions and allergies were especially grateful for the thoughtfulness of their kitchen and staff. The location was also great (though required some transportation planning due to limited uber/lyft in the area) - our guests loved exploring Hudson and hiking in the area. Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for an intimate and personalized wedding.

It has been a great experience working with the staff at the Troy Hilton Garden Inn for planning our wedding. Lisa and Chris are great. They are very helpful, accommodating and responsive. This venue is stunning. My fiancé and I attended the wedding tasting event on 3/28/26 which exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious and the area for this event was beautiful. I’m looking forward to our wedding reception at the Hilton Garden Inn.

I got married at the Saratoga Hilton on 10/26/2024. To say the experience was great would be an understatement. Matthew was my primary point of contact for the better half of the 10 months of planning but Misty joined about a month before the wedding day. Both Matthew and Misty were so wonderful to work with. Any email I sent, had a response within a few hours - Matthew never made me feel that any question I had was silly. They truly wanted to make us feel comfortable and make sure our wedding day was exactly what we imagined. From booking the venue to our final meeting and our wedding day, everything was done seamlessly and without stress. As a stressed out bride, I truly appreciated having this calmness when speaking with Matthew and Misty. The bridal suite we were put in for the day of was beautiful and just enhanced our experience that much more. Everything was spot on and organized and I really appreciated that. I had a specific vision for our wedding day and Matthew and Misty took every thought I had and brought it to life. It was exactly how I envisioned it, down to every small detail. I would highly recommend getting married at the Saratoga Hilton. Not only were Matthew and Misty amazing to work with, all of the staff that we encountered were kind and they really made you feel like they were there to help you and help make your day as stress free as possible. It was a wonderful experience and I wouldn’t change a thing!

Our wedding weekend at the Sagamore was even more incredible than we imagined it would be. You simply cannot beat the beauty of Lake George at the Sagamore Resort, especially if you get good weather like we did. Samantha Root and Abby Burdo were incredibly helpful in the planning process, which was particularly nice since we did not use a true wedding planner. The venue was on the expensive side, but that was to be expected at a waterfront resort hotel. We had a few minor hiccups with missing appetizers and booking transportation shuttles, but the Sagamore worked with us to fix the issues. Communication with the event manager was sometimes delayed, but that was understandable with how busy they can get during the wedding season. If the Sagamore and Lake George are as important to you as they were to us, then you won't regret making this decision!

When looking for a venue, I was looking for something very specific. Ideally, I wanted to do something at a hotel so I wouldn’t have to worry about my guests drinking and driving, but I didn’t want it to feel like a hotel if that makes sense. Income, the Queensberry hotel, the Gold room/queens ballroom completely exceeded my expectations. Original Torazo flooring, crystal chandeliers, and a dreamy, black and white lobby floor that just made my wedding photos look absolutely insane in the best way! Not only was the space absolutely amazing, but the food was to die for. Genuinely worth every penny, it’s been a month since I’ve gotten married, and I will get pictures and relive every single moment every day. Everyone I worked with was extremely attentive, caring, and detail oriented. Kamay and all of the staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. We genuinely didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Storybook Cottage helped us with our dream wedding!! For $2225, Kathleen allowed us to use her bed and breakfast for our commitment ceremony and it was better than we ever could have imagined! Kathleen was absolutely amazing with helping to guide me and my wife through the planning process. Kathleen was extremely accommodating and very flexible and one of the most gracious people I have ever met! Extremely professional, wonderful attitude when it came to helping me and my wife plan our ceremony! Very lgbtqia friendly and was definitely well within our budget! Storybook Cottage help to bring our ceremony Vision to life and I would absolutely recommend this venue for anyone having a small wedding/ commitment ceremony! You're going to get the absolute best care and treatment!
