This venue is absolutely stunning. It’s elegant and chic. From the original hardware floors to the pink marble bathroom I was completely obsessed and blown away. The space is huge with more than enough standing room and dancing room. Would definitely tour if you’re looking for a beautiful space for your event or wedding. Plus, the owners are the sweetest family and their attention to detail definitely does not go unnoticed. Loved everything!

This was a perfect venue. Originally, we chose it for the food - the chefs are all CIA trained and the menu was very important to my husband. As we continued to work with them, Serena was wonderful. As an event planner myself, I appreciated her knowledge and professionalism, and her willingness to make just about anything I asked for happen. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, she made a number of excellent suggestions for things I hadn't even thought of that I incorporated into the day and, at the end of the night, she airdropped me something like 70 photos that she'd been taking throughout the day, which were wonderful to look through the next morning. I had an excellent experience here, and I would absolutely book another big event with Birch Hill and Serena.

The venue was absolutely beautiful. Sal was incredibly responsive during the planning process and made sure everything stayed on schedule the day of the wedding. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this venue. You are guaranteed to receive so much positive feedback about your wedding the next day!

Old Daley on Crooked Lake exceeded every expectation we had, and we had high ones. From the moment you arrive, the venue speaks for itself, the waterfront ceremony set against a stunning sunset was an absolutely perfect backdrop for our vows, and the rustic, homey interior gave us a warm and intimate feel even with 220+ guests. The space is gorgeous and needed minimal decoration because it already has so much natural charm. The food and bar service were excellent, and the staff were warm, attentive, and professional throughout the entire night. But what truly made the difference was our day-of coordinator, Nick. He communicated with us clearly and consistently in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and on the day itself he was everywhere he needed to be, always one step ahead, coordinating seamlessly with all of our vendors, and making sure everything ran on a tight, stress-free timeline. He checked in on us regularly without ever being intrusive, and he truly felt like an advocate for us every step of the way. Because of Nick and the entire Old Daley team, we were able to be fully present and just enjoy every moment of our wedding day. We couldn't imagine a more perfect venue!

My husband and I were lucky enough to book Erlowest as our wedding venue this September and I can’t say enough positive things about it! It was truly the best day of our lives thanks to the lovely staff at Erlowest. The food was out of this world delicious and the service/accommodations left nothing to be desired. Every single person there was so kind and helpful. The venue itself is beyond gorgeous. Leanna and Molly specifically made sure I had absolutely no worries on our big day. We had many tough critics at our wedding and SEVERAL guests reached out to note that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! I feel so lucky to have been able to get married here and you will not regret booking it for your special day!

When my son and his fiance decided to get married in Lake George, NY, I panicked. As parents of the groom, we were responsible for the rehearsal dinner and, looking at our options, it seemed there were very few places that could accommodate our anticipated numbers. Then I came across the Lake George Steamboat Company. My first response was, "What a great idea!" The more I looked into it, the more appealing it became. Their staff was extremely responsive, sending their party information and helping us settle on seating in the general population with reserved tables (rather than one of their private areas). Every time I sent a check for the installments I received back a receipt with a photocopy of the check. Any time there was a question, I received an immediate answer. When, a couple of weeks before the wedding weekend, it turned out that our confirmed numbers for the dinner were lower than we anticipated, I called to see if it would be possible to move our party to the appropriate private area. The anwer was "yes." The afternoon of the rehearsal dinner, I was met at the dock with a table holding a sign with our last names on it, an envelope with the tickets to disburse, and all sorts of friendly staff faces willing to help out, especially when someone needed an extra seat while waiting for their family to park. As for the cruise, the food was great -- beyond my expectations. When my husband wanted to make a speech welcoming everyone, they turned off the speakers in our area so he could be heard. The idea of a rehearsal dinner on a steamboat was perfect for both adults and children. It was fun, interesting, and different. Highly recommended!

If you're looking for a cozy and rustic Adirondack Mountain wedding venue with great views, food, and staff then Garnet Hill Lodge is the place you need to book! Nicole, Lucy, and all the staff at Garnet Hill Lodge were great to work with and truly made our wedding day incredible! We had a small intimate Monday wedding in October with 44 guests total. From the very beginning the communication with Nicole was great. She made the wedding planning process easy and her expertise is unmatched! A big reason we picked Garnet Hill Lodge was for their pavilion structure that serves as the backup rain plan, and we did end up having the ceremony in the pavilion due to rain. The wedding ceremony was still perfect as you can see the trees and mountains in the background from the clear covered side panels in the pavilion. The food is amazing at Garnet Hill Lodge - so many of our guests came up to us to say how great the food was. The drinks were also great and their bartender Josh was very nice! It was also super convenient that all our guests were able to stay onsite at the lodge on the night of the wedding. We highly recommend having your wedding at Garnet Hill Lodge!

Our wedding at Albany Country Club was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, Jill and Erica went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. They were incredibly organized, kind, and accommodating, anticipating our needs before we even thought of them. The entire planning process was smooth and stress-free, and on the day itself, everything ran seamlessly. The staff made us feel completely supported, and it truly felt like their top priority was ensuring our day went off without a hitch. The food and drinks were phenomenal, our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a more beautiful venue. Jill, Erica, and the entire staff made our wedding unforgettable, and we are endlessly grateful. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a venue that truly cares about making your day magical.

I absolutely LOVED my experience with RSM! My husband and I worked closely with Heather and Ashley, and both of them are just fantastic. Ashley was there on my wedding day and was super attentive and helpful. The food was amazing, the workers were kind, overall amazing experience!

I was the officiant at a wedding this Memorial Day weekend, and the team was top notch. Ellie was always around, always helpful. All the wait staff were lovely and at everyone’s beck and call with a smile. I have never attended or been involved in an event that came off so seamlessly. It was a gorgeous day for a couple who heartily deserved the perfect day. Thank you to everyone for making it special. Reverend Sandy
