When I asked my photographer if there was anything I should know about working with Mountain Top Resort, she said, “Oh, you’ve struck gold with them.” At the time, I thought it was just vendors being kind to one another. Now, I know that we really did strike gold. From start to finish, Mountain Top Resort wanted to accommodate us. Before touring, I asked if their catering team would be open to an all-vegetarian wedding. They confirmed that it wouldn’t be a problem and even welcomed us to add additional meal options to their list so that we could incorporate our favorite meals into our day. The team was excited to take on a new task to help make the event feel like us. Leading up to the big day, email correspondence was quick and helpful. We asked a ton of questions, and we were never made to feel like a burden. In the 2 weeks leading up to our wedding, our coordinator Zoey let us know that our day-of coordinator would be Elizabeth. We were both a little nervous to switch from one coordinator to another, but it’s clear the team is just that: a team. Elizabeth picked up all the details and connected with us to make sure she had our vision clear in her mind. Right from the start of the ceremony rehearsal, it was clear she’d studied our choices! She cared about the details, and made sure our day was full of fun, joy, and support. When we forgot to bring our printed thank-you speech to reception, she said, “No problem, email it to me and I’ll print it right now.” When we weren’t able to finish our dinners, she packaged them up and sent them along to the house we were staying at. Elizabeth supported us without ever being overbearing. We both knew that the whole day was handled without us needing to worry about a thing, so we could focus on each other and our guests. We are so grateful we got to have you coordinate our wedding! Thank you, Elizabeth! Photo credits: Idena Beach (@idenabeachphotography) & Gabby Coughenour (@winding.roads.photography)

This is the best wedding venue ever!! I usually do not write reviews but had to because of the dream wedding Seven Ponds made happen. Julie, Rosie, Min and Morton (and the whole team) are amazing and I can’t put into words how magical the weekend was. The morning of our wedding, it rained, no it down poured but by 3PM the sun was shining and we were able to have an amazing ceremony. Every detail was thought of, every request was granted. Through out the whole weekend, I felt like a princess. During the reception, we were treated like royalty. At one point in the night I got something on my dress, I was dabbing it out with water and Julie came over from behind me and handed me club soda within a minute of me trying to get it out. EVERYthing was thought of. It feels like your in this wedding bubble being on the farm and every moment was filled with love and laughter and happiness. Consider this beautiful farm for your venue. You will not be disappointed!!

Wow! We got married on 8/16/2025 and still cannot stop talking about how incredible our wedding day/weekend was. Alex and Maureen are top notch. From the first conversation to the last, they always treated us as if we were their only customer and if you know GA, you know they have LOTS of weddings. To have support from two professionals throughout a huge and expensive event, means the world. They were so accommodating, always quick to respond, got to know us, were present the entire wedding day (even helping serve appetizers), and always checking in. What really made a huge impression, was how busy GA was on our wedding day but how in the moment our wedding began, it felt like time stood still for us. Every guest stopped in their tracks, was beyond respectful, quiet and stood back and away from the north lawn. It was amazing how truly beautiful and perfect it was. Now… the food. WOW!!! Huge portions and INCREDIBLE food! Guests have not stopped talking and raving about it all - from the charcuterie board to the sliders, arancini balls, filet, etc., it was all the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding. Drinks… GREAT!!! No lack of alcohol here. Old fashions were made by hand, not a pre mix. We truly were blown away from start to finish. BOOK GOLDEN ARROW!!!! Thank you so much for the best experience, staff, accommodations and simply being the best.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding weekend than the one we had at Hotel Saranac. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, elegant, and full of warmth. The staff went above and beyond to make every detail feel personal and special — their professionalism and kindness truly made us (and our guests) feel taken care of. The historic charm of the hotel paired with modern touches made for a stunning backdrop. The ballroom was absolutely gorgeous — timeless, romantic, and was made to feel intimate for our micro-wedding. The views of Saranac Lake and the surrounding Adirondacks made for incredible photo opportunities(Kirstyn is amazing!) and created a peaceful, scenic vibe that carried throughout the whole weekend. The food was exceptional — our guests are still raving about it! The cocktail hour, dinner, and late-night snacks were all delicious and thoughtfully presented. Hotel Saranac also made planning easy with helpful coordinators(Blake and Katie) who guided us through everything.

We are so grateful to have started our married life in such a magical place — it was truly everything we dreamed of and more!
