When I had my wedding, I was very particular with the style I wanted. We were having Halloween wedding so I very much was specific style. Fawn made sure I was very happy with my style. She showed up on time, made sure all of bridesmaids looked good, and made sure I was happy. Fawn is extremely professional and amazing at what she does!

I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning their stories. And I’m happiest when I’m able to help people take those stories and turn them into something meaningful, whether it’s a wedding ceremony or a marriage proposal or whatever milestone you’re holding space for.

Miriam from Milestones by Miri was amazing to work with for our wedding ceremony. She communicated very well and responded to us in a timely manner throughout the planning process. Her communication prior to the wedding day was excellent, and she continued to be a helpful presence on the day of, helping our photographer to get a group photo of all our guests. Miriam officiated our wedding ceremony with warmth and professionalism, and also assisted us with processing the necessary paperwork.

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Albany, NY

Capturing love in every color of the rainbow, Kristen Renee Photography is here to celebrate your unique story. From Albany to anywhere your love takes you, we specialize in documenting authentic moments for all couples and families.

It’s honestly hard to put in words the incredible experience we had with Kristen Renee Photography. We started out a few months ahead of time with an engagement shoot (which I would HIGHLY recommend) where we got to know each other and Kristen’s style. as two people who are not used to being photographed, we were so thankful for Kristen’s expertise in posing and making us feel comfortable. We used the photos for our save the dates and wedding invitations :) In the months leading up to our wedding day, Kristen was always available and helpful in answering all our questions. She even scheduled 2 in depth phone calls where she helped us figure out the timeline of the day and made us feel so comfortable. When we decided we wanted videography as well at the last minute, she directed us to Elmtree weddings and facilitated that. Honestly, I don’t know what we would’ve done without Kristen. The wedding day went off without a hitch, and the photos are spectacular. I can’t overstate how important it is to have vendors that work cohesively with each other, and Kristen and her team not only worked well with the other vendors we hired, but actually seemed like FRIENDS. It was obviously the best day of my and my husband’s life (so far ;) ) but it made it extra special to look over and see our photo, video, and DJ team(s) all working so well together. Also, just a special shoutout to another member of Kristen’s team, Sheridan (her wife!!!!). They work so incredibly well and it’s honestly inspiring how well a married team can work together :) I feel like I could write so much more, but please just use this review as an INSISTENCE that you book Kristen Renee Photography before another couple books her first!!! Thank you so so so so much again, Kristen!!

  • Venue
  • Up to 400 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

With over 80 years of experience, Birch Hill Catering continues to be one of Upstate New York’s most memorable wedding destinations. From a formal sit-down dinner in a ballroom setting to casual outdoor BBQ style wedding or even a rustic barn wedding; any one of the venues at Birch Hill Estate or Stablegate Farm is sure to capture your imagination.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Space for a large guest list
  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Provides event staff

Venue considerations

  • No dedicated areas for getting ready
  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
My wedding experience at Birch Hill was incredible, and I owe so much of that to Serena and her amazing team! We started the booking process in early March, hoping for a September/October wedding date, and thankfully found one that worked. Serena was an absolute goddess from start to finish—she gave us a thorough tour of all the location options, answered every question, and made the entire process feel effortless. We knew almost immediately that no other venue would compare! Since we were on a tight timeline, I reached out to Serena frequently with questions, and she always responded promptly and thoroughly. By our 90-day planning meeting, we were already so comfortable with everything, and Serena guided us seamlessly through food choices (of which there were so many!) and other details. Her expertise really shone through when I wasn’t sure about certain things; she made it all so simple and stress-free. On the big day, I felt so confident in Serena and her team—it was like everything was taken care of before I could even think about it. I truly felt like I had nothing to worry about and could be fully present in every moment, which made the day even more magical. They thought of every detail, big and small, allowing me to simply enjoy and soak it all in. Speaking of the food—it was hands down the best meal I’ve ever had! We chose the Cocktail Style package and went with a wide range of options, including crispy calamari with lemon-garlic aioli, French onion soup, cider bacon-wrapped chicken, pulled pork wonton bites, and mini grilled cheeses with tomato soup shooters, among others. Every single bite was phenomenal! The prime rib was cooked to perfection, and the mashed potato bar and pasta station were crowd favorites. Our guests raved about the gourmet French fry station that we had later in the night. While we handpicked the items, I genuinely believe that anything else on their menu would have been just as amazing—the quality and flavors were out of this world. At the end of the night, everything was packed up perfectly and already in my car before I even stopped partying! If I had to give any constructive feedback, it would be about the bridal suite. It was a very warm day for late September, and the air conditioning hadn’t been turned on before we arrived, so the suite was quite hot initially. Other than that, our ceremony by the pond was absolutely beautiful. While the mosquitos and some goose droppings were a minor annoyance, the setting was otherwise perfect and so romantic. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Serena’s commitment and attention to detail made our wedding truly unforgettable!

  • Florist
  • Serves Albany, NY

Creek Water Blooms specializes in fully customized wood flower floristry. All arrangements are made with soft realistic wood flowers and faux/preserved fillers to create floral arrangements that can you can enjoy forever. Every flower is handmade, painted and arranged to ensure your wedding flowers are exactly what you envisioned! There’s no waste from throwing away dead flowers and the wood flowers are made from an eco friendly material. Wood flowers also prevent allergy issues, scent sensitivity and wilting. They’re the perfect way to enjoy your flowers on your wedding day and every day after.

Jessica, the owner of Creek Water Blooms, is absolutely incredible! Starting the process, we didn’t have a clear vision for our flowers, but she asked all of the right questions and created a bouquet and boutonnière that are even more perfect than anything we could have come up with ourselves. She included us in every step along the way (sending pictures of flower samples, paint/dye tests, etc.) and made the process extremely easy and stress-free. We got so many compliments on our flowers from our vendors, wedding guests and complete strangers; they photograph beautifully, are light-weight and less fragile than natural flowers. Best of all, we get to keep our flowers for life without the cost and stress of preservation. If you’re looking for beautiful, customized, long-lasting flowers and you want to work with a professional who takes the stress out of planning, then we absolutely recommend Jessica at Creek Water Blooms.

We got married at Saratoga National Golf Club on April 12th, and it was truly the most incredible experience from start to finish. If you’re considering this venue—book it. You will be in the absolute best hands. Saratoga National partners with Mazzone Hospitality (or vice versa!), and their team is second to none. Our sales coordinator, Ellie, was a total gem. She was responsive, supportive, and never nickel-and-dimed us on small changes or additions. Planning from out of town can be stressful, but she made everything easy and even helped us find smart ways to cut costs without sacrificing the experience. The day before the wedding, our event manager, J’Leen, carefully set up all of our candles and décor exactly as we envisioned. She was professional, incredibly hardworking, and so thoughtful. I can’t say enough about what a great manager she is—she truly has everything down to a science. On the day of the wedding, the team executed everything flawlessly. They were kind to our guests, cleared plates quickly, and remained accessible throughout the event. After the celebration, they packed up all our items with care so we could easily pick them up the next morning. Now, let’s talk about the food—our guests are STILL raving about it! Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. As someone who works in Human Resources and plans corporate events multiple times a year, I’ve worked with many venues—and I can confidently say this team is the best I’ve ever encountered. If you’re comparing Saratoga National to other venues, let me save you the trouble: choose this one. You’ll be taken care of every step of the way. Thank you to the entire team for giving us a day that exceeded every expectation. We are beyond grateful!

Lydia is next level!! I met her back in 2020 when she was the wedding coordinator at a venue I was obsessed with in the Catskills- we ended up going a different direction in terms of venue but she had opened up her own planning business and we instantly hired her! We harvested a relationship over the last 3.5 years and she’s nothing short of incredible! My wedding would not have happened if it weren’t for Lydia! She knows all the right questions to ask, she advocates for her brides, she is there to talk you off the ledge during the stressful moments.

As a wedding floral designer, I am passionate about crafting unique arrangements that capture each couple's unique love story. I find great joy in transforming visions into beautiful realities, making their special day unforgettable.

Mohican Flowers was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication was clear and consistent--they made the entire process seamless. When it came to the quality of their work, it was truly exceptional. The bouquets and arch they created were not only beautiful, but also showed a level of thoughtfulness and professionalism that exceeded our expectations. We gave them very little to work with in terms of direction (only the color of the bridesmaids dresses), and they were still able to arrange everything perfectly to complement our wedding day. We couldn't have been happier with Mohican Flowers and highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day!

I will almost definitely get a little teary-eyed during your vows, but don't worry... I can take pictures and cry at the same time.

I have used Rebecca on numerous occasions to photograph our family's milestones. I would highly recommend her! She's great with kids, creative, and so much fun to be around. You will not be disappointed!

I don’t even know where to begin. At the beginning of our wedding journey, finding a venue was the hardest thing we could’ve done. My husband and I had a specific vision in mind and had an incredibly difficult time finding a place that we loved that was also within our budget. We’re from the LI area but knew we wished to get married upstate. We must have visited at least 10 venues. Then on our way home from one, my husband found Stablegate on a whim. We looked everything over and it had the barn that I wanted, and the catering included that my husband wanted and I said “if we visit and we like it, I’m putting a deposit down the next day.” And that’s exactly what we did. Birch Hill is an incredible family owned company with so many aspects attached to it, it was hard not to fall in the second we saw it. Over 2.5 years, I never once regretted that decision and once the wedding day came and went I knew it was the right choice for us. The food is amazing and a ton of different options (including catering to my vegan guests), the staff are incredible, and the vibes are immaculate. Our wedding coordinator Jared was really the star of the show. He was super accommodating to all of our needs, organized, and just all in all a ridiculously sweet and funny guy. When our wedding day ended up getting rained out, he came up with backup plans right on the spot that honestly fit our vibe so much more than our original plan and I really truly have Jared to thank for that. Jared treated us like we were old friends that he was just helping throughout the day. He is someone I will truly forever be the most grateful for to have on my wedding day. I have heard so many horror stories about venues, and I can honestly say this is not one of them. Stablegate Barn and the Birch Hill Catering Company have my highest recommendation. And if you need a coordinator, ask for Jared. Really truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you for an amazing wedding day.

When we started planning our wedding, we knew that we wanted our guests to truly experience the simple beauty of the Hudson Valley. That is what led us to the Abeel House. Our entire day was magical. I walked down the aisle on a little pebble path, surrounded on both sides by wildflowers. Our wedding guests were seated on hay bales in the prairie, the sun on their backs and the stream behind them. After our ceremony, we celebrated in the restored barn behind the historic Dutch stone house. We split the barn into three sections — one to seat our guests for dinner, one for the dance floor, drinks, and dessert tables, and one for the local bluegrass band we hired. As evening came, we turned on the twinkle lights in the barn and danced the night away. You could see the stars through the open windows.

A Charmed Affair we are boutique wedding and event innovators creating tailor-fit experiences for all of life's many celebrations, with love, respect, and allegiance to providing a holistic event planning and execution journey. The difference is in the details. I believe that life is meant to be celebrated and that bringing people together creates this palpable energy that becomes the food of humanity.

We hired Kate and her team later in our wedding planning process as we realized we needed someone to help us during the day of. She was such a calming force during our wedding day and her and her team went above and beyond. From setting up to making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, we felt so at ease knowing Kate had it covered. Not only that, she was so kind and genuine. We could feel her excitement for us even though we had only met a few times and felt so supported. Not only were we covered with support from Kate & team throughout they day, she also provides access to her "wed shed" helping couples with decor items and more! Our wedding would not have been what it was without her and we are so grateful for her support!!

Meghan Marks Photography

Creativity has played a role in my life ever since I was a little girl. I grew up in upstate NY loving the outdoors and being close to the mountains! Although I loved where I grew up, when I graduated high school I decided to move South to Georgia to pursue a degree. While studying Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I fell in love with photography. I received my B.F.A in photography and then moved back home to NY where I became busy photographing weddings.

Meghan shot our engagement and wedding photos in 2015 and did such an amazing job. She was very personable, open to suggestions and had a great vision in working with us. She also had a very large and rowdy wedding party to contend with and did so beautifully. We were so over the moon with her and her work that she has become our family photographer. She has shot our maternity pictures and every year since. She is very affordable and does amazing work. She is the kindest person and it really feels like she's become apart of our family.

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer located in Hudson Valley, New York. On a typical day, you can find me with a cup of coffee in my hands enjoying time outside with my family. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life and believe that so much of life is worth capturing on camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
It will be hard to top the beautiful words written in Liz’s blog regarding our wedding! She is so creative and even cited all of our vendors. Go check it out! Liz went above and beyond capturing our big day. We had two meetings with her in the months leading up to the wedding with open communication between, making it so easy to plan. On the day of she was flexible with timeline changes and a comfort to be around. She made posing feel natural and captured so many details that may otherwise be forgotten or overlooked. Liz captured all of the shots that we wanted and was efficient enough to give us time to spend with our guests. Ten out of five stars and we will definitely use Liz for our important life events going forward. With love, Nikolas and Meaghen

The barn is decorated so nicely, the bridal suite is the perfect spot to get ready with your bridal party.
