Perfect in Every Way

I rarely describe anything as being perfect, but our wedding at Longfellows was just downright magical. Every single detail was attended to and went according to plan, thanks in great part to our wedding coordinator, Gerri. She anticipated every single thing and kept the entire evening running like a well-oiled machine. All of the food was amazing, the servers were on top of everything, and the bartender knew everyone's drinks after meeting them once! We got married inside by the tree and it was beautiful -- like I said, magical. Our guests who had never been to Longfellows before could not believe what a gorgeous place it is -- even more so when it's dressed up for a wedding. Our friends and family are still texting us to rave about the entire event, from the ceremony to cocktails to dinner to the party. I can not recommend Longfellows enough. The entire night was above and beyond our expectations!

Flexible and amazing vendor during Covid-19

I had my wedding here in August 2020, originally planned for June. The owners and wedding planner Lauren were so wonderful throughout the entire planning process, especially since their was so much uncertainty surrounding Covid and wedding receptions. I’ve heard of nightmare stories from 2020 brides not getting back deposits, forcing to cancel, etc. but Longfellows allowed me and my husband to make decisions not based on fear of losing money, but based on what was best for us. Their flexibility, assistance and attention to safety was simply INVALUABLE and I would recommend this venue 1,000 times over for anyone who is looking for a beautiful wedding, dinner party or any event during COVID-19 and beyond.

Longfellows and their team do a great job. I've done so many weddings at Longfellows in the past 15+ years I've lost count. If you want a Saratoga Springs venue location with an intimate feel, check them out! Their famous inside tree, their inside pond with beautiful fish and a stunning bridge, yummy food, all makes for a beautiful setting and event. OOTOphoto looks forward to working with you again!

Love working at Long fellows and their staff! I have been designing parties there for several years the venue is so very unique, lovely and intimate. It's a must see when considering Saratoga as your wedding venue location. They have it all; a hotel so your guests do not have to travel. Their staff is courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and very professional, and their food is outstanding! I find myself going to eat there every time I visit Saratoga. Enjoy

The folks at Longfellow's really know how to take care of you. Geri & Brenda are always awesome to work with. The food is amazing and the rest of the staff always so helpful & friendly. Their cool indoor waterfall and unique Coy Pond with bridge is a great touch. Check Longfellow's out when its time to book your next event!
