This was the first time Saratoga National hosted a fully outdoor wedding and I hope they never go back! This felt like you were somewhere far outside of New York. A huge terrace for cocktail hour, reflecting pool for the ceremony and the bistro lit patio for dinner and dancing. It was perfection! 

So many couples tell say they 'just want a party', yet, it's tough to have a wedding and acommodate family opinions without doing many traditional wedding things. This couple however, actually had A PARTY! They started the evening with cocktail hour, then went into a short ceremony followed by station dinner with tons of mingling and off the cuff dancing when people felt the urge (which was often!). No speeches, no formalities, no reason to tie people to their seats for long spans of time, truly, just a party. And why? Because they just wanted to celebrate and they brought their a-game big time! It was a blast! Cheers to these newlyweds and to many more happy decades together!
