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

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.

We are just in the wedding planning process of our wedding and haven't gotten to the big day yet, but so far, Key Hall has been amazing. Our wedding planner is Angelica and she is professional, super responsive and very helpful. From tips about where to find a wedding dress to what kind of speakers we want our DJ to have, she's been awesome. They even sent us a gift card in the mail for a Facebook competition we were in, which we didn't even win. We are excited for the big day, and know with Mazzone's hospitality as the caterer, there is NOTHING to worry about! The price is amazing and Angelica even altered some things and worked with us to make a package that is affordable for us. She answered all of my e-mails and calls regarding capacity and seating when finalizing the guest list too! I have felt no stress with a my reception venue. I can't wait to get into the next phases of planning with Key Hall!

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.
