Our Story...

I met George while he was playing wingman for his friend who liked me.

Worst. Wingman. Ever.

At that time, each of our lives were busy with work and family. It wasn't until a few months later that we began spending more time together. We would visit each other's apartments, cook extravagant meals, and try to impress and pamper one another.

A year later, he moved into my apartment in Glens Falls, and shortly after, the world shut down from covid. Our relationship was tested, and we passed with flying colors. Fast forward to a beautiful summer day in 2023, we were camping with family and George asked me to take a walk with him. He made his heartfelt proposal on the picturesque pergola at the beach of Hearthstone Campground on Lake George. Returning to camp, we were met with an outpouring of joy, champagne and warm embraces, a celebration fitting for the beginning of our forever together.

On July 19th, 2024, eagles danced in the sunny blue skies as we said "I Do" in front of our beloved friends and family on Neshobe Island of Lake Bomoseen Lodge. The reception took place in the exquisite lodge. The high vaulted ceilings with exposed beams embodied the rustic elegance we envisioned for our special day. Graced by the dedication of our wonderful vendors and the exceptional staff at Lake Bomoseen Lodge, we were truly blessed to have our dream wedding become a reality.

Advice to Pass Along... 

As you plan your wedding, do everything out of love, not obligation. If anyone is unhappy with the choices you make for your own wedding, well that is simply none of your business. Choose those who truly care about you to join your bridal party. Choose your vendors carefully. Lastly, understand that when your big day comes, none of the tiny details are going to matter. So let go, be present, and enjoy the special bond you are creating with your partner, surrounded by loved ones. This day only happens once.

Rehearsal Dinner
Lakeside at Lake Bomoseen Lodge

I can't speak highly enough about Lake Bomoseen Lodge. Not only are the venue grounds stunning, but the staff was incredibly accommodating and professional. Rebecca, the venue coordinator, was exceptional throughout the planning process. Every member of the team, from groundskeepers to drivers, bartenders to service staff, exceeded expectations with their professionalism. I was thrilled with how everything turned out.

Our Story...

Tyler and I met through mutual friends the summer of 2018 at a Jason Aldean concert at SPAC. At the time, Tyler was living on Long Island, and I was attending school at Siena College. Tyler's career entailed working two weeks on/two weeks off …on a tug boat. Although the distance and work schedule was tricky at times, Tyler and I were determined to set aside weekends to spend time together. We both love the saying, "when you know, you know" because we both KNEW we were meant for each other.

After a few months of dating, Tyler made the decision to move upstate. Our relationship continued to grow stronger. When Tyler was home from working on the boat, we would plan time to visit his family on Long Island.

After four years of dating, Tyler proposed at my lake house in Caroga Lake. The beach was covered in rose petals and the sunset was perfect. Two years later we had our wedding in Saratoga Springs, the perfect location as this was where our relationship began.

Tyler and I both agree that our wedding day was the best day of our lives and will always be so memorable for us. We were so thankful to have our family and friends there to celebrate with us. We also appreciate the support from all our vendors in bringing what we envisioned for our day… come to life!

Advice to Pass Along... 

• Make sure to map out the day by making an itinerary for the bridal party and vendors to follow.

• Practice your first dance together and make a routine.
• Try not to stress the day of. Be confident that your planning and vendors will ensure the day will go as smooth as possible.

Tyler and I did a "photo dash" which entailed us going to each table at the reception to pose and take a fun photo. It was a great way to get a photo with everyone!

We had napkins at the cocktail hour that had fun facts about Tyler and I.

The bridesmaids were my something blue!

We had an old phone by our guest book that let our guests leave us voice messages. This was included with our DJ.

During the reception, at the very end of the night, we had every guest line up on both sides of the entrance of the tent and hold up their phones with their flashlights on. Tyler and I walked through to the song "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra. It was a great and fun way to end the night!

Our Story...

Jen & Greg's love story is not your traditional one...the story began when Jen was home for the weekend visiting her parents.  She was at The Tipsy Moose (a local hometown spot) having drinks with them when she started talking to two ladies at the bar (Greg's Mom, Lorrie, and her friend Kathy). They asked if she was single, and they started to talk about their sons! Long story short, Jen started texting Greg when she was on the train back to New York City. The conversation was so easy and fun that Jen eventually decided to invite Greg to her friend's party in the city the following weekend. Greg said yes and from that day forward they were inseparable! While in the beginning they were long distance and just getting to know each other, COVID quickly changed that, and Jen was able to be upstate and spend more time with Greg.

It didn't take long before Jen left the city, but NYC will always have a special place in their heart since that's where they met and fell in love …and where Greg proposed!

Old Daley on Crooked Lake was the perfect place to get married as it was a mix of their aesthetic goals (and close to family and friends!) -being the definition of an effortlessly beautiful venue, with the whimsical weeping willows on the lake where Greg and Jen's ceremony took place, to the natural lighting and traditional oak running throughout the ballroom, it did not take much effort to tie into the classic romantic themed wedding they were imaging. Jen wanted minimal colors and natural accents and just touches of white and gold to up the elegant vibe.

It could not have been a more perfect day thanks to the support of their friends, family, and their amazing vendors!

Our Story...

I moved to Boston in 2016 for what I thought would be a short-term adventure. Instead, I built a life filled with a rewarding career and amazing friends. After the pandemic, I decided to explore the dating scene and met Nick on Hinge.

Our first date, at a charming Boston restaurant, ended with espresso martinis and a spark.

We spent the fall exploring the city together… trying new restaurants, walking with my dog Ellie, and even braving a haunted house. As our relationship deepened, I introduced Nick to my family in upstate New York. We explored Saratoga Springs, a place close to my heart, and visited the iconic Saratoga Race Course. Horses and racing have been a big part of my life since childhood, thanks to my dad who trained Thoroughbreds. Nick was immediately captivated by the energy and excitement of the track.

When Nick proposed, we were thrilled to discover that Saratoga Race Course hosted weddings! Mazzone Hospitality made our dream a reality, helping us plan an intimate ceremony in the paddock and a reception on the 2nd floor of the 1863 Club. Their team was incredible, guiding us through every detail with ease and offering a delicious food tasting that showcased their culinary talents.

Thanks to their support (and a surprisingly helpful wedding attendant!), I was a calm and collected bride. Our wedding day was truly magical, filled with love, laughter, and the undeniable thrill of starting our forever, at a place so special to me.

Advice to Pass Along... 

My advice would be to not worry too much. Enjoy the process and don't overthink the details. Your family and friends are there to celebrate you and won't remember the smallest things.

Rehearsal Dinner
The Brook Tavern

The gold horseshoe place settings and favors were a huge hit. All of our friends and family have been displaying them in their homes for good luck. We also had a bowl of bubbles (Esty) for guests to take as they walk in, so they could blow bubbles right after the "I Dos." They were cheap and cute and I love how the bubble photos turned out. Additionally, Mazzone created a special logo with our names and wedding date and had it shown on every screen throughout the track including the infield. It was exciting for our guests to see and made us feel so special.
