“Hotel Saranac was such a lovely venue to host our welcome dinner for our wedding weekend. We booked the grand ballroom for the event. We were a little worried about the space being a little big for our group but the staff helped add in some additional furniture to soften the space. We were given the space from 2PM - 10PM which allowed us time to set up earlier before going to our rehearsal and coming back for the event. All the tables, plates/silverwear, furniture, etc were set-up already before we arrived at 2:30PM to add our little pieces of decor. We chose the Hot Sara Buffet Ampersand Option which comes with: a leefy green salad with cucumbers, feta, craisins and a honey vinagrette, a choice a two entrees (we chose chicken piccata in a lemon caper sauce and Seared Salmon with maple, soy and ginger glaze) and three sides (we chose sautéed haricots verts, red bliss garlic mashed potatoes and Long Grain and wild rice pilaf. The buffet dinner also was served with dinner rolls and whipped butter and an assorted cookies and dessert bar display. Everything was delicious. Both entrees flavors were perfect. Everyone raved about the salmon. Blake, the venue coordinator, was so great throughout the whole process with any questions we had. We ended up using 4 tables with about 6 people at each and connected them all to make one long table. We are so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you to all the staff at hotel Saranac that supported our event. :)”
