The second we were walking around on our tour of the Crooked Lake House 1 week after our engagement…read morewe both knew we had to be married there! It's so beautiful outside and in and of course the high reputation of the food that Old Daley Inn provides is well known. We signed right then and there for our wedding October 20th, 2013. Working with our wedding coordinator, Elise Testo, was such a pleasure. She provided me with every tool I needed to plan my day and I never felt like I was all alone in the planning process. Every email I sent her was answered nearly immediately and she was always helpful and professional. On the day of the event, Elise and Marty Kearny and staff did an amazing job of trying to keep the little mishaps from me. My hair and makeup people left while I was doing our "first look" with the photographers, and unbeknownst to me, had not done my flower girl's hair. It wasn't until after the wedding I found out Elise herself had taken on the task of curling Becca's hair. Also, when my officiant didn't show they both sprung to action, Elise called the officiant (successfully) while Marty was already making calls to see how quickly they could get a back up there in case they weren't able to reach my officiant. Again, I knew nothing of this until after I was home from the wedding. Marty made sure I had a drink in my hand the entire time and Elise made sure everything ran smoothly for our day. I truly cannot tell you how hard these folks worked and most of which I probably still don't even know about! Our day was perfect, the venue is perfect, the staff is perfect. I truly felt like Cinderella at the ball!

I recently was in a wedding for a family member were the ceremony and reception was at Crystal…read moreCove. 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!

Tremont did a great job helping us with our wedding in October 2020. Due to Covid we could not use…read morethe indoor venue we originally planned to use - so in a two month span we put together a backyard wedding for 15 guests. We used a 20x40 tent, lighting, chairs, and tables from Tremont. Tremont did a site visit a month before the wedding and went over all options with us - answering every question we had and going over the logistics. We felt really confident after they visited us. The day before the wedding they put up the the tent in a couple of hours - and the three staffers onsite were totally professional and made sure everything was setup correctly to our specifications/needs. If you are having an event and need a tent or other inventory from them, you will have a great experience.

My husband and I were recently married at Glen Sanders Mansion and worked with Shelby at Tremont…read moreRentals to secure more comfortable outdoor seating than the venue provided. I initially gave her a price point to beat per chair, after having shopped around, and she was able to do it comfortably. They also provided a paid in full discount, which is always helpful when trying to budget for a wedding. Shelby was incredibly accommodating and replied to any correspondence very quickly. They provided delivery, setup AND picked up the chairs the following morning (for 210 people). The truck arrived to our venue EXACTLY within the time frame they had initially provided, both for delivery and pickup. The chairs were all setup perfectly according to how the venue workers instructed and were incredibly clean. Overall, if you're looking to secure any event rentals, I would recommend contacting Tremont to do so!

To start this review I am a slow golfer and am new to the game. After the 3rd hole the…read moregroundskeeper/warren came to us and told us we need to pick up the pace because there were members of the course behind them. Two holes later he came back and followed us for an entire hole, as anyone who is new to the sport knows when someone is tailing you it makes the experience horrible. Then he continues to come back after another hole and tells us to move faster!!Most people who play shoot over 100 so there is no need to be following and adding pressure to new golfers. You would think they would want more of the youth involved into golf to promote the course more but this country club does not care about the public or new golfers. There are also a lack of bathrooms on the course (porta-potty) that makes it very challenging for women golfers, I would expect one every three holes at the least. Other courses have been able to do this. Why would you advertise that the course if open to the public but when new golfers play there there is a tremendous amount of pressure being applied to make them speed up? This makes no sense to me. If you care so much about your members then make it a private course. I will be talking about this experience to many of my fellow golfers and make sure they do not have to deal with this type of environment while golfing. Obviously this country club lacks vision from their higher management, good luck being open in 10 years. This is the first and last time I will be playing at this course.

I recently used Clifton Park Rentals for my wedding, and while the end result was what we wanted, I…read morefelt like they were manipulative in their pricing. The online brochure states prices from 2006 (9 years ago!), and we didn't know this until after we met in person at the store and had someone survey our venue. When we pointed out that the new prices are 1.5-2x the online prices, they were not flexible or apologetic. 100% of their business is renting out the items on the brochure, so for them to "not realize this" for almost a decade is obviously a lure to get the customer's foot in the door. Finally, we had to remove about half the items on the invoice that they randomly added on for reasons unknown. When we asked to remove tent walls, their response was pretty much, "we will just keep it on the bill in case it rains. Check the weather and let us know by Monday if you don't need it." Of course this was the busiest week of our lives and we didn't let them know by Monday, since we had already in our minds let them know, but still they would not refund the items that never made it off the truck. Not exactly sure what all that money paid for... If you have an unlimited budget, you'll be happy with the quality of their items. However, if you care about bait and switch practices and company honesty, please don't use Clifton Park Rental. If we weren't planning this last minute, and literally had no other option (trust me, I called around), we would have dropped them the minute they charged us double what was quoted.
