Reviews of Wolferts Roost Country Club

Wolfert's Roost was absolutely perfect for our reception.
Don the Manager has been doing this so long (and he will tell you this) and is like a drill sargent the night of!
I had my doubts about it with the first couple meetings, but Don, Peggy & Joanne were absolutely amazing. They make sure the bride, groom, & company are all well taken care of.
All the little details are not to be worried about because they take care of it.

Don also went above & beyond when we had an issue with one of our vendors (Saratoga Photobooth). It was not working, the attendant was nowhere to to be found. Don & our DJ were in the photobooth trying to fix it, which was not something that they should have had to worry about.

All the guests thought the food was delicious, and that the room was beautiful.
I can't say enough good things. It was a perfect night mainly because of them!

Our wedding at Wolferts Roost was amazing. Beyond the standard of professionalism, Don went out of his way to make sure that everything went smoothly and checked in to ask if we needed anything to drink/eat. The room was set up perfectly, everything was exactly what we had discussed, and when we had a few last minute changes, Don and his staff accomodated us 100%. The Roost is a beautiful venue, and our guests kept commenting on the room as well as that the food was the best they'd ever had at a wedding. I have to agree with our guests- the food was exceptional and the bar service was top notch.

Made everything happen!

We had a great experience with Wolfert's Roost Country Club, and we are so glad we were able to hold our reception there! They made the process incredibly seamless and stress-free, and were extremely professional and accommodating. As soon as we met up with Stephanie at Wolfert's Roost, we knew we had found our venue - after visiting 20+ venues, Wolfert's felt like home. From the moment we discussed our vision, Stephanie was one step ahead. She was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and creative. Throughout the whole process, Stephanie understood my vision and would also respectfully give me honest input based on her experience. Our wedding reception went great. Everyone was incredibly impressed, from the building to the decor to the staff and service. Stephanie made sure to have a space set up for the wedding party upon arrival, so we were able to enjoy the cocktail hour snacks (the tempura shrimp was amazing)!. We even had a server stop by to bring us drinks while we prepared to be announced. It was a hit! The food was absolutely delicious, and many of my guests have gone out of their way to share how much they loved their meals! My only complaint about the whole experience is that when the staff cleared my untouched dinner plate, no one thought to box mine up to go! It looked absolutely delicious :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I love weddings at The Roost! Everything is upscale and elegant, but at the same time comfortable and relaxed. You will never be rushed! Don Edmonds handles everything for couples and is easily one of the best I’ve ever seen. He is always hands-on and goes above and beyond to make sure couples are delighted. Nothing is left to chance. A-plus service from start to finish. There are wonderful backdrops for pictures not to mention the spectacular entrance staircase that is unlike any other I’ve ever seen. Plus, the main reception ballroom is perfect with a huge dance floor and floor-to-ceiling windows behind the head table. The Roost also have a superb room for indoor ceremonies and a bridal suite!!
