• OUR STORY •
Brent and I met through some friends, downtown Saratoga in the summer of 2017. He’s from Long Island, moved back to the area for the second time and was just getting settled in. We remained friends for a year until we decided to go on a real date which landed us at Henry St Taproom finding out we had the same exact birthday when we handed our I.D.s to the bartender.
Three years passed, we decided to go on to have two kids before having a true wedding to celebrate us. When we decided to start planning, we knew there was no where else to have our wedding other than Saratoga where it all began. We thought it would be so incredible to invite so many friends and family from out of town to show everything Saratoga has to offer.
We were so excited when we found Anne’s Washington Inn as it felt like everything we wanted and more. The staff were beyond welcoming and helpful and Madeleine kept us all together every step of the way. We couldn’t have been happier with every vendor we chose as they truly brought our whole vision to life. From start to finish, the day was perfect and we always say we wish we could live it over and over again.

• Notes from the venue •
Morgan and Brent were such a wonderful couple to work with. They found joy in all the little details, a hand-painted “Just Married” banner on the head table, custom table numbers, a beautiful favor display with a plant for each guest, and more. What we loved most was their refreshing perspective that having their children, family, and friends all together to celebrate their marriage was really the most important part of the day.
One especially sweet moment during the ceremony came just before Morgan walked down the aisle. Their son’s voice played over the speakers saying, “Daddy, Mommy looks so beautiful!” It was a tearjerker for the whole crowd and such a special way to include their children in the ceremony.
Following the recording, their son walked down the aisle while their toddler daughter was carried alongside the bridesmaids, just ahead of Morgan’s entrance.
Their bridal party, friends, and family stayed in all 18 of our guest rooms for the weekend, giving them exclusive use of the property and plenty of extra time together. They enjoyed breakfasts and coffee on our wraparound porch each morning, along with late-night catch-ups and laughter around the fire pit and in the dining room.
Their group was so much fun and kept the celebration going on the wedding night, heading downtown after the reception for an after-party back where Morgan and Brent’s story began.
Staying on-site also made getting ready on the wedding day so easy, with everyone just steps away from the celebration.
