Hi!  I'm recently engaged and planning my wedding upstate from Long Island.  I grew up in Troy and really would like to have an outdoor reception if possible -preferably in the Saratoga/Lake George area but I'm willing to look anywhere.  My dream wedding would be in a tent somewhere but now that I've been looking I'm realizing that may be out of budget.  We're paying for this shindig ourselves and I would really like to keep the price per plate below 100 bucks.  Any suggestions are welcome!!!!

-  Thanks!!!

    I'm getting married at River Stone Manor in Scotia.  It is located right on the Mohawk River.  They have a gorgeous tent with full bar and dance floor right on the river that is up from May until the middle of October.  I think there is a guest limit of 125 on the tent though.  The ballroom holds about 200.  Mine is costing $85/person including tip and tax.  It includes Cocktail Hour and 4 hour reception.  House liquor or premium for cocktail and beer wine and soda the rest of the time.  A salad, app, 3 entree choices, cake, tea, soda, water and coffee.

    The use of the tent is $700 I believe and if you want your ceremony there it's $2.50 a person.  They also have a gorgeous 1800's manor house that you can rent for $300 and the girls can all use it to get ready in for 2 hours prior to the wedding.  I choose to do this rather than a limo.

    shoot me an email, gperg001@gmail.com, I think I can help you out with this, I live in Lake Placid and go to Lake George all the time.  I have a couple places in mind, but prefer email if you don't mind, I don't check this website enough.

    Thanks so much!  I came across the River Stone Manor online and think I am going to check it out over Memorial Day weekend.  I always pictured our wedding in a tent and part of having it upstate is not only becasue it's where I grew up but to enjoy the outdoors!  Congats on your wedding and thanks for the info.!!!

    hi! 

    if you still need some info, we ALMOST got married at a place called Crest Haven Lodges in Lake George (we ended up moving our wedding to lake placid though). 

    i think they would be a nice venue for a group of 120 and under. 

    if that meets your criteria, let me know and i can give you more details. 

    good luck!

    Thanks!  I've considered Crest Haven after seeing it online and I'm not ruling out Lake George but I think we've changed our focus more to Saratoga.  We're looking at a few places over Memorial Day weekend and then if we can make it back up I may look at a few in Lake George.  It's really just a matter of convincing all fo the downstate people to travel up that far so we're luring them up with Track Season... Not that it will be any cheaper then.

    We got married at the River Stone Manor and LOVED it!  Also went to a wedding at the Georgian in Lake George and that was really pretty too!  It has a great view of the lake!
