Best Hidden Gem of Mazozne

The best kept secret of Mazzone’s stable of venues. The reception area is gorgeous with its high ceilings, old bank vaults, and small architectural details. Gabriela and Marc were fantastic from the moment we booked to the end of our wedding day. They made sure everything went smoothly and was exactly what we wanted. Many guests raved about the food (the short rib grilled cheese during cocktail hour is a must!). The cake was absolutely delicious. The location is perfect as well. The Hampton and DoubleTree are within walking distance (Parker Inn was closed at the time of our wedding) and so are so many great restaurants and bars. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our ceremony and reception

Great Venue and a Hidden Gem

Key Hall is a great venue and a hidden gem in the Capital Region. Being a Mazzone Facility means great service and food, and you are provided with both a day of coordinator, and a bridal attendant. Pictures outside of Proctors are very cool, as well as the vault and other areas around Schenectady. It is very comfortable inside and not too cold in the winter or hot in the summer. Cocktail hour is spacious and the high ceilings and lighting make for a lot of cool pictures. There are 2 hotels within walking distance and I'd recommend Key Hall to any couple looking for a unique venue. There is a bridal suite in the facility and a very cool ceremony space that really make it a unique venue

Beautiful venue, fantastic staff, delicious food

I cannot say enough good things about this Key Hall and Mazzone. They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and efficiently answered any questions or requests that I had. The day of couldn't have run smoother - we didn't have to do a thing and people were constantly around us giving us updates or a heads up about where we needed to be when. The place is beautiful and more importantly the food was great.

My Dream Wedding

From start to finish, the Mazzone's staff for Key Hall at Proctors went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Andrea Cole, our event coordinator was absolutely fantastic from day one. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made all of our decision making throughout the entire planning process an absolute breeze. The day of our wedding, the staff was attentive and handled anything that came up without needing to "bother" us with any issues, if there were even any! Kiersten, our bridal attendant was everything we could have asked for and more - she catered to our every need and made us want for nothing all night! Key Hall was my dream venue and the hall itself is an absolute beautiful place to get married!

The best wedding venue

We recently had our wedding at Key Hall and I cannot say enough good things! Andrea at Mazzone was amazing to work with prior to the wedding and Roz and Maki were our day of coordinators and they were incredible. They worked with all of the vendors to make the night run smoothly. The food was delicious and everyone keeps raving about it. We had the best night!

From day one we just knew Key Hall was THE place!

Andrea, Lesley and Maki made everything perfect for our wedding. From the moment we first walked into Key Hall we knew this was the venue for us. The staff make sure everything is just how you envision your wedding day. We couldn’t have landed a more perfect team and they sure did make our baseball theme wedding a home run! Thank you for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams. When you are sad that the planning and correspondence with the staff is over you know you selected the right location.

Amazing Venue

I can't say enough good things about Key Hall. Andrea and Lucien were so amazing to work with and they made everything leading up to the wedding and during the day of the wedding so easy and pleasant. The ballroom is absolutely gorgeous with so much character and all of the food was so delicious. My guests are still raving about how great the food was. Key Hall and everyone there exceeded my expectations in every way. I would absolutely recommend Key Hall to anyone who wants a great wedding in a beautiful venue with great food.

Fabulously

Andrea, Lucien, and the entire team at Key Hall were absolutely amazing! Andrea walked me through my entire wedding and answered every possible question I could come up with! She made planning my wedding so much less stressful and Lucien made my day go flawlessly! Our personal waitress Kiersten was the best person we could have asked for. She took care of not only us but our parents and bridal party all night! Key Hall was beautiful and Mazzone did an amazing job with the food! Overall, this was the best day we ever could have ever hoped for!

Andrea, Lucian, and the whole team went above and beyond all of my expectations. Their communication prior to our wedding all the way through to our wedding day, I did not have to worry about one thing. Not to mention that the Key Hall building is absolutely gorgeous!!!

We love when we get the opportunity to work at this venue! It's placed in the heart of downtown Schenectady, NY with a plethora of opportunities to create amazing wedding images! No matter what time of year it is we love working at Key Hall! The main ballroom is absolutely stunning with the vaulted ceilings and the rich cool color of the room! Wide angle photos always come out amazing and we love the chance to capture more great images in the historic bank vault that is on the property. We always love taking our couples outside the venue for some night photos, the downtown feel can add to the wedding images and always "wow's" our clients!

This is such a unique, classy wedding venue. I get excited to work here because I know what the space looks like. It's so much fun to watch a bride's jaw drop when she sees the room ... It is always beautiful.
