Dream Come True

This past weekend we had our wedding at the beautiful Sagamore. Danielle and her team exceeded every expectation that we had to help make our wedding day memorable and perfect. From managing all the vendors, tracking the weather, making sure we were relaxed and calm, she did it all until the end. Not only is the staff exceptional, the views are like no other. Our families said it was one of the best weddings/wedding weekends they have been too. We not only were able to celebrate love at this beautiful place, we were able to make long lasting memories. Highly recommend booking here if you want the same! Thank you Danielle and The Sagamore!

Most beautiful wedding imaginable

The Sagamore itself is a lovely venue. It was perfect for this winter wedding. The lodge rooms are enormous, and everything is super comfortable - but the people are more important than the place, and absolutely everyone at The Sagamore was a dream to work with. Samantha Root helped organize everything; over the months of wedding planning, she was unfailingly responsive, kind, flexible, and thoughtful. Samantha, if you're reading this, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

When the Big Weekend finally arrived, Eddie greeted us on arrival, carried everything to our rooms, and then helped us pack - and repack - the car when it was time to leave. The entire staff was friendly and helpful, always looking for an opportunity to do something for the wedding party or one of the guests.

This wedding was everything that we'd hoped it would be. In large part, that's due to the setting of The Sagamore, and the efforts of Samantha Root and her amazing staff.

A wedding to remember

After my daughter was engaged, it was time to start thinking about the wedding. She and my husband convinced me to throw caution to the wind regarding the weather and find something outdoors on a lake. We were on the same page with many things: we wanted a place that could host everyone on premise for 3 days, varied venues to host different parties on premise, a location that would have other hotel accommodations very close by for those who did not want to stay at the resort, great food, activities that would not cost our guests extra, a few dining options, accommodations for families who needed more than one bedroom, also on premise, bar options, a pool, a view. Hoping to get just a few of those options, we got them all at The Sagamore Resort on beautiful Lake George and when I walked into that gorgeous hotel lobby it took my breath away. In addition, an added bonus was that our guests could walk into Bolton Landing for cute shops and eclectic food options. So for three days we hosted 140 people for a wedding that was perfection. Even the weather cooperated. We sailed on The Morgan for our rehearsal dinner, had our welcome dinner at The Pavilion overlooking the lake, our wedding day was in and around Shelving Rock a beautiful, billowy, permanent tent overlooking the lake and the gorgeous Sagamore grounds, an after party in one of the hotel ballrooms, and Sunday Brunch at Bayview where our guests could sit on an outdoor deck or the inside room also fully decorated with white tablecloths and flowers galore. All on premise so walkable for everyone. When I say that there was not one hiccup in all of the scheduling, planning, execution, and expectation I am not exaggerating. Not. A. One. Over three days. Incredible, if you think about it. From the General Manager to the Door Attendant, the entire staff seemed keyed in to our event even arranging for a golf cart driven by friendly attendants for my 92-year-old mother to be available whenever and wherever she wanted. Floor managers for the different events were prepared, attentive, and professional, and the food…what can I say. It was outstanding. How do you cook filet mignon and sea bass for 140?
No idea... but they knocked it out of the park. Our expectations were exceeded by 1000%. Many of our guests had never been to Lake George and quite a few have booked for themselves to return next year. The countless, lovely notes we are receiving from our guests continue. The statement we hear most is, “best wedding ever.” To see how much fun everyone was having over three days made all the planning and expense worth it. I wrote to the General Manager a few days after the wedding, “Thank you for helping us give our daughter and her new husband a wedding I had been planning in my head for many years. I never thought I would get everything I wanted but…I did. Thank you."

The most stunning venue on Lake George! Great food, staff is easy to work with, and the view is completely breath taking. The Sagamore is on it's own island making for a very private and intimate experience (at least in the fall). I cannot recommend The Sagamore enough!

This was seriously the best place in the world to have a wedding. I decided I wanted to get married here when I was 5, and my dream finally came true this year! I can't say I really looked at any other venues, but I don't think anything would've changed my mind. I worked with Ashley, and she was superb! She always answered my questions quickly, no matter how small or silly they seemed. She always knew exactly what I had in mind, and was so helpful every step of the way! I had a Gatsby-Themed Rehearsal Dinner on the Morgan, which was just beautiful, and Ashley helped me set everything up, and even gave me plenty of ideas to set the tone of the evening. The whole wedding, (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and brunch the following morning) went perfectly without a hiccup along the way. If anything did happen or something needed to change last minute, it was just taken care of, and I never even noticed. To me, it was the perfect day and it the whole planning process couldn't have gone better, thanks to Ashley & The Sagamore.

We had a fabulous wedding weekend at The Sagamore. Our wedding was so memorable for us, and also for all our guests who kept raving about being there. There is no place better than the Sagamore. Agabail was so professional and made the planning of our wedding so easy. They team at the Sagamore are clearly experts at what they do. We attending the March brides event and even got a tour of the catering kitchen and bakery. We planned our wedding in a relatively quick time horizon which Abagail made easy by giving us leads and recommendations on everything we needed (band, photographer, flowers, officiant, etc.) to make it all come together. The Sagamore knows weddings and pretty much every vendor in the area so it was super easy to coordinate-even though we were out of town. We also held a rehearsal dinner, bonfire, golf outing and kids birthday party over the weekend. Having everything in one venue made it easy on us and our guests. I couldn't recommend more!

The Sagamore literally made my dream come true. From our first interactions with them in scheduling a tour to the morning after the wedding, everything was done perfectly, professionally, and beyond any expectation I had. Every person we interacted with - from Valerie and Jennifer in the beginning stages to Abigail who became a life line, to Lori, Sue, and Josh for the reception - were amazing. Any issue that came up, whether ahead of time or an hour before, they were on it and handled it perfectly. Literally, and I am not exaggerating when I say this, the whole thing went perfectly - nothing went wrong. Nothing!!
The venue is gorgeous, so picturesque. I think every guest I spoke to raved about the hotel, grounds, and service. Even photos that guests took (as I don't have my professional ones back yet) came out stunning. The food was amazing. Each course was better than the last, and multiple people told me it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. I don't know how they made 100 filets medium rare all at the same time, but somehow they did! The cake was exactly what we spoke to Lori about and then some! The service for the wedding was spectacular. They looked and acted so professional and friendly, and every one of them found time to congratulate us. They looked happy and excited to be there with us. Sue, the banquet manager, made sure everything went according to plan seamlessly.
Jennifer and Abigail, the two contacts for the entire planning process, were a dream to work with. They answered emails incredibly quickly and were always so kind and wonderful. Abigail was there for us for us for every moment once the wedding weekend started. Literally, she made it perfect. All the decorations were just as we discussed with her, everything went smoothly, and when there were those last minute emergencies (our fault) she took care of it immediately. I've hit the limit for this review, but I could go on. I want to do it all over again!

The Sagamore was everything we imagined for our wedding and then more. When we first got engaged, we envisioned our wedding to be right on the lake and when we saw the Sagamore, we knew we found what we were looking for. The entire weekend was perfect and the backdrop of the lake and mountains was so picturesque. In addition to our wedding being a fairytale, our guests felt like they were on vacation! They enjoyed all of our festivities right on the Sagamore property and were able to enjoy the pools and lake. Abby, Jennifer and the entire staff were a pleasure to work with and were so responsive to all of our questions and needs. They ensured that we had a seamless wedding! I could not recommend the Sagamore more to anyone who is looking for the wedding of their dreams.

We just had our wedding here, and it was PERFECT! The people were great, and I was really impressed on how EVERYONE was so accommodating and went above and beyond for us. Sarah Novick was our contact person and she did a great job of communicating with us and being very responsive when we had questions. She got things done quickly and always made a point to reach out to us and check in, even when she was clearly in a busy wedding month! All of the staff was great, Bill the bartender there remebered my name the entire weekend, everyone at the front desk was very capable and felt like we were always dealing with good people that were all making a point to make sure that me and my wife had the best time, which they fully accomplished!

The place itself is amazing. The food was really great, which was something that we were looking for, and there was so much to do there! Our party stayed there from Thursday through Sunday and we were all wishing we could stay there longer! Maybe the most impressive part of the location is the views of Lake George! It was everything that we could have asked for and all of our guests were really impressed which made us feel great about having our wedding there!

We had our reception dinner in Mr. Brown's pub on grounds, the wedding ceremony there was amazing, right by the water and everyone had the great views to look at, and the Saturday after we had a lunch in the Pavilion. Great weekend at The Sagamore!
