They are familiar with the area, so their catering and DJ recommendations are always spot on. During the event, they were incredibly friendly and attentive without being intrusive. It truly feels as if their number one priority is ensuring that everything goes smoothly, and that the attendees all leave happy. There's a truly unique, mystical feeling to this place that is hard to find anywhere else. Just look at the pictures for yourself and you'll see exactly what I mean.

We were here for a wedding last weekend and the food was phenomenal! That's not generally something…read moreyou say about wedding food, but we were wowed. Especially the cocktail hour food! The "powder room" is spacious, well-stocked (like anything you could need was there!), and could be used by folks of all genders. I think it's supposed to be for women, but it doesn't have any gendered signage. There's a "gentlemen" bathroom around the corner though. The venue is gorgeous and cozy. There are so many spaces to it! You could definitely have a flow that works for whatever you're looking to do. The columns in the ballroom are a little off-putting, though, in that it can be hard for guests to see the dance floor and kind of puts you in your place as far as your relation to the couple. This was a winter wedding, but we were surprised that the wedding could have been anywhere in terms of awareness that we were on a lake. I would have thought some more lighting or an outdoor area (though I did see from pictures on here that there is a fire pit in area?). Staff were attentive, but definitely a little pushy at the end. I work catering and you don't pick up chairs or clear linens until everyone has (or most people have) left, but they were already starting to break down at 9:30 on the dot and it made us a little uncomfortable as we were trying to finish up conversations. Plenty of parking and it sounded like the bride and groom suites were well-appointed. At only 25 minutes from downtown Albany, your guests have plenty of options for where to stay!

Spring rolls with chili sauce, yum, potstickers, delish. The cheese display was thoughtful with little tags to identify the cheeses. I appreciated the bar selection and the generous pours. The sit down portion of the meal was a bit disappointing being they pre set the salad course, warm salad, not my thing. For my entree I had the sliced sirloin with roasted tomatoes and mashed potatoes. The flavor was good but it was served tepid. I can imagine how hard it is to pull off perfect food for 300+ attendees. I took note of the direction of the manager to the service staff, he knew what he was doing. Overall this caterer left me with a positive impression.

Pro's: The weather was beautiful and the scenery of the plush landscape and lake were great for a wedding! The main course was excellent, some of the best wedding food I have had. There was a lot of space and chairs for people to sit and talk outside of the pavilion. Ruth was great and very attentive to the couple and the wedding party and parents. Con's:The couple told me they had problems with getting questions answered timely and there was also confusion on who was a partner vendor and who wasn't. The wedding party didn't get any drinks or cocktail hour snacks while taking pictures. I heard from other guests there wasnt much being passed around and people were starving after waiting in line for a cocktail (one bartender for 150 person wedding). BUGS BUGS BUGS, thank god there was bug spray in the bathroom baskets because they were out and with vengeance. No water on the table- really odd, if you wanted water you had to go to the bar. Also, where was the champagne for a toast? Depending on where the ceremony is you may need to help elderly guests get up and down steep hills. All in all it was a great event for the couple. If the facility took care of a couple minor issues then they would have no problem being one of the best wedding facilities in the capital region!

From the beginning, Shana and Olivia were upbeat, friendly and responsive! They made the process effortless and we knew we were in good hands, but on the day of our wedding THEY EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!! They worked fabulously with my amazing wedding planner, Kelly from The Main Event by Kelly to ensure our vision was BROUGHT TO LIFE! In our song, "Die a Happy Man" by Thomas Rhett he says "If I never get to see the Northern Lights I could Die a Happy Man." Therefore, our colors were green and blue to symbolize the Northern Lights. I'll let the picture speak for itself to see if we nailed it. Our wedding was seamless and EXACTLY what we wanted! MAKI (the bridal attendant) IS THE BEST! I needed floss, she had it to me in less than a minute, my dress needed a tide pen, she had it. I needed lip gloss, it was in her hand before I could ask. Mazzone Hospitality is an amazing TEAM and WORKED as ONE BIG TEAM WITH our amazing VENDORS!

But being there was another story. As other reviewers have said, they do an amazing job making this space feel warm and inviting (as an old person I was thankful for the complementary ear-plugs). The staff were all super friendly and I was appreciative seeing they have security even for a low-key jam-band-friendly venue. The show itself was a lot of fun, there was plenty of room for the crowd of about 75-100 to relax, dance, sit and watch etc. The sound was really good, and the lights rivaled much fancier venues I've been to. As others have said, the drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but when you compare it to going to a show at say, SPAC these days it was actually a few bucks cheaper per-drink. We started the night at The Eleven, the bar attached to the venue which was also very nice. My girlfriend had one of their signature cocktails, the coffee based one (can't remember the name) and I tasted it and thought it was great. I was a bit disappointed by their whiskey selection, but they had the basics which worked fine. Overall, we had an amazing time and I will definitely be going back to check out more live music here.
