Shereen Sent on 02/15/2024My wedding was perfect
Let me start with I had four weeks to plan my wedding and Nor promised me that she would take care of everything. When I tell you she did everything as promised and more I was absolutely amazed at how everything turned out. The guests loved the food, drinks and deserts, everything was so planned out and beautiful. Any time I had a question Nor was quick to respond and even set up late night video chats to discuss to make sure my day was perfect. And honestly thanks to Nor and the team my wedding was absolutely perfect, it was my dream wedding, really. I loved everything about Sixty State and I would recommend it to any bride who doesn’t want to have to hire a bunch of outside vendors. -

As a DJ who's worked several weddings at Sixty State Place, I can't say enough about this venue. From the jaw-dropping Empire Ballroom to the intimate Vault lounge, every space radiates elegance. The staff? Top-notch. They make sure every detail is perfect, leaving me free to do what I do best – keep the dance floor packed. If you're after luxury and style for your wedding, look no further.

Kristen Sent on 08/28/2022Spring Wedding at 60 State
We were very happy with our wedding at 60 State! To start off, the venue itself is stunning. Gorgeous high ceilings, water walls, and lovely little remnants from its days as a bank. The cocktail hour space (the vault) comfortably fit our 170-180 guests with space for people to set down their purse, drink, or plate. Also, having both bars open during cocktail hour was very helpful. The food is amazing and we got so many comments from our guests on the bistro spread, appetizers and dinner. The venue coordinator, Nouralynn, was extremely responsive and was always ready to answer questions, have meetings, and give advice. Despite her juggling multiple events that month, we always felt like we were a top priority. Not only did she make the bride and groom a priority, but even helped guests get back to their hotel. Sixty State is so versatile and a gem of a venue in Albany! -

Sixty State Place was the absolute perfect venue. My husband and I started looking for a venue during the pandemic and we ending up falling in love with the beautiful buildings in downtown Albany. When looking at the venues on the same street, Sixty State was a step above in the areas that matter most. It has multiple bathrooms on both floors which is a must when at a wedding, who wants to wait in line when they should be on the dance floor? There is a separate space for cocktail hour (which is down right breath taking) and no guests are watching tables being set up. The bridal suite is beautiful setting to get ready, perfect for amazing pictures and a close space for your wedding party to go if they need a break. The building and architecture itself is just the beginning! Joe, Deanna and Nour go above and beyond. They will meet with you for as long as you need and make you feel like they are your only client. I had many dietary restrictions and on the day of the wedding they bought special breakfast items, just for me! My dinner that night, tailored to me. Any dessert I wanted, they made it happen. Any add ons to packages- no problem. We wanted mini bundt cakes from one bakery and pastries from another, done! Andddd they picked them up! We had our ceremony at the venue and there was an issue with the processional song- Nour fixed the issue in minutes and no one was any wiser. Our DJ brought the wrong drapery the day of and Nour was making calls and made sure it got there on time. Nour is literally your personal bridal attendant for everything and anything you can think of. She is wonderful at her job and gave me a sense of ease when I knew things were out of my control, she had it. You do not need a wedding planner if you have Nour, she can literally do it all at no extra cost! Our day was amazing, our venue was down right breath taking and guests are still talking about it! -

I am so delayed in writing this, but wanted to say my husband and I had such a fantastic wedding with Sixty State Place! We began planning our wedding in August 2019, pre-Covid, and as such, had to push our date back a full year. Sixty State was so kind and accomodating, even honored the pre-2020 rate!
I want to call out, one fear I had was the beautiful ballroom was too echoey for a band to sound good. I'm so happy I listened to those working at the venue, along with friends and family, because we had a band and they sounded INCREDIBLE! If you're considering a band here, definitely go for it!
Ok so what did I love (I'll admit I won't be able to include everything because there are too many things to call out):
The food. Is. Incredible. Seriously, everything we ate was perfect. We're still getting compliments from friends and family on their dinners.
The bars (and bartenders) are a well oiled machine. We quizzed some guests afterwards about bar lines (something my husband and I felt strongly that needed to be avoided) and everyone said they never waited in a line! Should to to Deahmy (I am so sorry if I'm butchering the spelling, but it was pronounced Dee-Ah-Mee)! He crushed the bar service, knew my drink by heart, and even helped the bridal party ahead of the ceremony!
The staff in general was phenomenal! Above and beyond all their duties; one extra kind server helped me clean a stain from my wedding dress right before the ceremony. Others helped hide me as I ran back and forth from the downstairs area to the bridal suite. Ahead of the wedding, they even helped steam shirts I was giving to my bridesmaids (AND provided the steamer!) Seriously, Sixty State only hires the best of the best.
Ok let's talk about the best of the best of the best. Nour! Hiring Nour is the best thing Sixty State has ever done. She was SO easy to work with, kind, accomodating, and would be real with me but also open to adjustments. I want to upgrade wine? Nour is talking to wine vendors all over the country. We don't want sushi, but want to swap for late night food? Nour is sending us the list and guidance of what would be a good swap. Actually, the package we booked no longer fits our needs, Nour asked us to send her exactly what we want, and she helped put pricing down on everything so we could have our dream wedding WITHIN our budget (seriously). We're not local to Albany, but Nour was alwasy was easy to reach via text, call or FaceTime. We spent hours together, virtually, working through every last detail, which she executed on flawlessly.
I spend too much time on social media, and had grandiose ideas. Nour helped make all of them happen, and even surprised us with some bonuses day of that we were TICKLED to see. One of my favorite (pre-marriage) moments from the wedding is Nour popping into a bridal suite with a salad that she had HANDMADE just for me (which I will add was absolutely delicious). She made executive decisions based on our discussions (like showcasing flowers for the reception in the ceremony room which looked divine) and always made sure I had exactly what I needed. One vendor we had was a bit difficult to work with, and Nour handled communication with them with grace, helping them get through the day as well!
She was there from the moment we hit the ground in Albany, until the exhausted, hungover packing of our car the following morning. Seriously, well done!
Joe and his team have exceeded my impossible expectations; we are still getting so many compliments from the weekend! Thank you so, so much for everything! -

When life hands you a global pandemic, be happy you booked your wedding with 60 State
60 State was so understanding, flexible, and beyond nice when our wedding had to be rescheduled (twice) due to Covid19. Our original wedding was 5/7/20, our reschedule was 5/9/21, and our final date was this spring '22. The venue rescheduled with no fees and NO price change. This is pretty unbelievable with how intense inflation has been, and the quality did not suffer. I still have guests asking me to get the seafood recipes from Joe. He also made a gluten-free, vegan station, appetizers, and pizza that were all delicious. We went with stations and plated salads, and almost all my guests were too full for the late night pizza. Good thing Joe provided to-go boxes for it!
The venue changed coordinators since we first booked in 2020, and I could not be happier with the new coordinator, Nour. She was extremely communicative and available. She talked me through different choices and even stressors of wedding planning. She felt more like a friend than the venue's employee. Nour was so flexible with vendors, access to the venue, and my crazy family. Her staff was also amazing and everyone was sweet, professional, and so helpful. Two waitresses even helped me with my bustle!
It's been 4 months and I still have friends and family talking about the reception, especially the food. We made the right choice with 60 State. It's still amazing to me that they kept pre-pandemic pricing for us, 2 years later and I believe a true reflection of their integrity. -

Renee Sent on 02/01/2022A New Year’s Eve to remember!
Wow. What a wedding 60 State Place can throw! My planner who I was originally working with left right before my wedding. With everything going on with COVID and the holidays I was so worried my day wouldn’t be what I always wanted. We’ll I was wrong. Joe, Deanna, and Nour took over and made sure my day was nothing less than perfect. Joe was making everything in the kitchen happen. His food is phenomenal, my guests are still raving about it! Deanna made sure her staff was all ready to go and where they needed to be to make it all happen. Nour was on her game, everywhere she needed to be when she needed to be. She was basically my main point of contact leading up to the wedding & the night of. She always made sure that I was happy & that everything was the way I wanted. The three of them together with the help of their staff truly made it a New Year’s Eve to remember!! The venue is just gorgeous in itself, but since I’m from a very Italian family, the food made the night! From the hors d’oeuvres, to dinner, to late night pizza everything was delicious. Such a fun night of eating, drinking, and dancing! -

Caitlyn Sent on 01/17/2017I got married at 60 State on 1/13/17 and it couldn't have been more perfect!! Monica and Marge made sure everything ran smoothly, if there were any hiccups I still haven't heard of them. They went above and beyond creating several uplighting options for us to choose from and even tying my husbands bow tie for him. The preferred vendors are also amazing, I didn't get nervous or stressed about anything because I knew we were in such great hands!! I'd recommend this absolutely stunning venue to anyone and everyone for any event! -
