The Mansion is the BEST!!!

The Mansion of Saratoga was an absolute dream! We got married in August and although it was a very hot day, we were having so much fun we barely noticed how hot it was after a while. From the planning stages with Lori, to the custom menu creation with Chef Rick, and all the other details and finalization with coordinators Rachel and Caitlyn, we couldn’t have asked for a better team. Wedding planning can be super stressful, but their communication and planning documents made it a lot less overwhelming. The guests (and us) RAVED about the food. Every single piece of food from cocktail hour to dinner to dessert was freaking amazing. And the fact that you can create your own menu? We were sold. And the venue is beautiful! In the summer the flowers were in full bloom and the greenery was stunning. It’s like no other venue we’ve been to, it’s not a classic banquet hall or ballroom, it feels like you’re in four different venues all in one (ceremony pond, garden, deck, barn). Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique venue and wants to make sure the food is top notch!

Amazing! Amazing!

We cannot say more wonderful things about The Mansion of Saratoga! Rachel, Sarah, and Lori made out day so special and easy I can't believe how perfect everything was! From booking to planning to the actual day, the staff at the Mansion was right there to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it for our special day. The venue was absolutely stunning in the fall colors and the food was to die for! Guests are still talking about how amazing the food and ambiance were! We are so happy that we chose The Mansion of Saratoga to begin our marriage journey. We highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend coming here, especially if you are looking for simple elegance for a great price and no hassle!

Best Wedding ever!

My daughter got married at The Mansion a month ago and I can’t recommend them enough for weddings or any other kind of event someone may have. All of the staff is extremely professional and responsive and made my daughter’s wedding the special day she always dreamed of. The venue is absolutely beautiful and Chef Rick is the best, there was not one thing on the menu that didn’t come out excellent. Anyone considering The Mansion as their wedding venue should look no further, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic!

Cannot say enough good things about this venue. Staff is great, friendly and keeps the process organized and simple. Chef Rick is a huge selling point. The food at this location was fully custom and as vegetarians this was essential for us - all our guests were raving over the food all night. Would absolutely recommend!!

Our day was perfect and the Mansion was a huge piece of that.

Amazing wedding venue!

We got married at The Mansion on 09/09/2023. I cannot recommend this venue enough! All of my guests raved about how it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. My signature cocktail was made to perfection! Rachel made my wedding day dreams come to life and she was open and willing to help with every detail. All of my guests thought it was a beautiful venue! I am so happy with how everything turned out! Thank you to everyone at The Mansion!!!

The Mansion was a DREAM wedding venue!

The Mansion of Saratoga is the most magical and professional wedding venue. This place and its staff are truly so special! My husband and I got married here in September 2022 and many of our guests remarked that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended and they loved the food and atmosphere. First of all, the venue itself has so many gorgeous spaces within it (the mansion itself, the barn, the rose garden, the tent, the pond where we had the ceremony) so you feel variety in the event that makes each part of the evening separate and more memorable.

We worked with Lori initially and Rachel was our day of coordinator. Both of them are so lovely, and communicative and made us feel the whole time that we were in such good hands. The Executive Chef, Rick, is such a sweet and talented chef! He is so creative and crafted a wedding feast that was deeply personal to us. He even recreated a family recipe to perfection for our special day! And the cake was out of this world. He does it all and was so humble and genuinely cared that we loved every dish. Rachel was our gracious coordinator day of, and shepherded us through the whole process with such grace and massive competence in organizing a wedding with lots of loving parts. She’s a star!

At the Mansion, you get the experience of being guided by professionals with years of experience who still have the passion of a brand new venue. We are so happy that we chose them for our wedding!

Dream come true!

There are not enough words to describe how perfect The Mansion was as a wedding venue. They offer it all with outdoor spaces, tent, barn and their incredible Victorian style mansion! They aren't kidding when they say they do it all for you- they provide a bridal lounge with a 'lady in waiting', a wedding coordinator to ensure all runs smoothly the day of, a fantastic chef who can make any food you could imagine or desire and you get the entire property to yourself for 12 hours to use however you can dream of! The day of our wedding I truly did not have to lift a finger! The Mansion staff was incredible and 100% grasped what I had envisioned! Honestly the nicest group of people to work with who made our wedding planning stress free! Chef Rick is absolutely amazing - all of our guests are raving about how great the food was! Now we are hoping we can get invited to a wedding at the Mansion so we can experience it on the other side!

No words can cover it!

If we could do our wedding over and over again, we would never choose another venue. The Mansion is an absolute hidden gem and we were so lucky to have found it. Lori, Annie, Chef Rick, Rachel, Adam, and their entire team made ours the most incredible day we could have ever asked for. The moment you walk into the Mansion and across the grounds, you are struck by its beauty and inspired by every single space. They think of everything and are so communicative that’s nothing falls through the cracks. I could go on for pages about this place and this amazing team of people. We are already ready to plan an anniversary celebration there! So much love for the Mansion! Take a trip to see them for any one of the events they host and you will fall in love too!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Mansion Inn is so beautiful. The ladies that run it are pretty cool too. They are so friendly and run a wedding at top notch. I'll never forget the first wedding I captured there, there were purple butterfly moths that appeared out of nowhere inside the tent right after the ceremony and then they were gone, it was amazing to see! If you are looking for a venue just on the outskirts of Saratoga, this is your place! Out of the Ordinary Photography looks forward to capturing more events there in the future!
