Amazing staff created my perfect day!

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding than Hotel Saranac. From the moment we visited, we were captivated by the historic charm, warm atmosphere, and incredible staff. The hotel blends classic elegance with Adirondack charm in a way that creates such a unique and memorable setting.

The Grand Ballroom was absolutely stunning—elegant, spacious, and beautifully lit, creating the perfect backdrop for our dinner. Our guests were blown away by the ambiance and raved about the entire experience. The ceremony space was equally beautiful, and the surrounding Saranac Lake scenery made for incredible photo opportunities.

What truly set Hotel Saranac apart, though, was the service. The events team, Blake, Katie, and Kirstyn, were exceptional—organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day seamless and special. They handled every detail with care and helped bring our vision to life without any stress. Having the hotel’s accommodations right on-site also made things incredibly convenient for our guests, many of whom commented on how comfortable and beautiful their stay was.

We are so thankful to have chosen Hotel Saranac for our wedding day. It was everything we hoped for and more—timeless, intimate, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this gem in the heart of the Adirondacks!

A magical day!

We got married at Hotel Saranac this past October and it was nothing short of magical. The ballroom and great hall are gorgeous and have such amazing character. The terrace overlooks part of town and is a beautiful location for a ceremony. Blake and Katie were kind and answered all my questions throughout the process. The day of event staff were helpful with a lot of small details I completely overlooked myself, especially setting up a beautiful dessert display. It was truly a perfect day, and we could not have chosen a better place to celebrate.

Best Decision Ever

We had the most incredible wedding this weekend at Hotel Saranac. The staff was so helpful and friendly the entire time that we were there. Our guests raved about the food and the craft cocktails. During the planning process, Blake was so communicative and helped guide us through all of the decision-making that needed to be done. He was a pleasure to work with and engaged with our wedding coordinator effortlessly in making sure nothing was overlooked. The hotel needed very little decor from us, as the historic beauty of the hotel is decoration enough. They even shoveled the terrace for us so that we could take beautiful photos in the snow before and during the reception. Everything was carefully planned out and executed perfectly. Our timeline was followed to a T and there were no lulls in service. Before and after the actual wedding the hotel provided us with welcome gifts, complimentary upgrades, and gave us any and all recommendations we and our guests needed for local spots in town. Blake & Katie made sure everything went off without a hitch, and I am so grateful to them that I had to do virtually nothing the week of the wedding. We really did have the most picturesque and smooth wedding weekend that we could have dreamed of! I highly recommend making Hotel Saranac your wedding venue. And yes, even in the winter!

Wedding Dreams Come True at the Hotel Saranac

We had our wedding at the Hotel Saranac in December, and I cannot emphasize enough what a wonderful experience we had. The Great Hall and the Ballroom were a gorgeous backdrop for our vintage inspired wedding, and if you’re at all considering having a winter wedding, let me tell you how romantic it was getting married in front of the fireplace with the snow gently falling outside. Everything about that day was pure magic. I am so grateful to Blake Riggs and Katie Holvik and the entire team at the Hotel Saranac for helping turn our dreams into a reality. Blake, in particular, was instrumental in executing my vision, offered crucial advice, accommodated last minute changes, and was generally extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, I could relax knowing everything was in good hands. In addition to everything going off without a hitch, the food was delicious, the cocktails were flowing, and our guests had a wonderful time celebrating in a unique, historic hotel in the heart of the Adirondacks. We can’t wait to come back to visit.

Elegant and intimate with a lot of character

The Hotel Saranac, especially our go-to guy, Blake, were all delightful to work with in making our wedding vision come to life. The style and vibes of the hotel worked so well with hosting an elegant but intimate wedding. I highly recommend the autumn season, as the colour of the leaves made everything feel and look extra special. All the hotel staff were very professional and Blake worked well with our other vendors to execute our plan. Also, the food was spectacular, all our guests were raving about it. I can't recommend this venue enough if you are looking for an Adirondack wedding.

A Fairytale Come True

The first time we visited Hotel Saranac, we knew instantly it was our dream wedding venue. Elegant yet historic, modern yet infused with Adirondack charm - it was the perfect destination to bring together our friends and family for our big day.

Blake Riggs and his team made the planning process seamless and stress-free. From helping us select menus for both our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Day to recommending vendors and assisting with day-of logistics, their guidance and support were invaluable.

Our wedding weekend truly felt like a fairytale come true. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about what an incredible time they had. We couldn’t have asked for a better place or team to bring our vision to life.

Beautiful place to get married!

My wife and I got married at Hotel Saranac in late September near-peak foliage and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is very elegant with restored historical elements and modern renovations. There was more than enough space for ~100 guests between the ballroom, great hall + bar, hotel rooms, and outdoor terrace looking out at the Adirondack surroundings and town of Saranac. Guests enjoyed making a weekend out of their stay to enjoy the area and we had a blast going out to the local bars after the reception.

The venue staff were extremely professional, and we were treated like royalty by everyone there. Our sales manager, Blake Riggs, was very helpful from start to finish. He worked with us to customize every detail from food to floor plan, and he was there on the day to make sure everything went as planned. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. We highly recommend this wedding venue!

Emma and Ryan’s Wedding

Hotel Saranac has been a special place for me since I was a baby, so when it came time to choose our wedding venue, there was really no question, it had to be here. And I’m so glad we did. The experience was absolutely incredible from beginning to end.

The staff were beyond amazing. Every single person we worked with was kind, professional, and truly seemed to care about making our day perfect. They handled every detail with ease and made the entire planning process feel smooth and stress-free. On the day of, we felt so taken care of — we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

The food was outstanding. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about it — everything was delicious, beautifully plated, and far beyond typical “wedding food.” It honestly felt like dining at a five-star restaurant with all our favorite people.

The hotel itself has such timeless charm, and being able to celebrate our wedding in a place that’s been part of my life for so long made it even more meaningful. It felt like everything came full circle. The team at Hotel Saranac helped us create memories we’ll never forget.

If you’re thinking about getting married here, do it. You’ll be in the best hands, in one of the most beautiful and welcoming places in the Adirondacks.
