Amy and John's Wedding

A chilly day in February outside, yet warm and cozy inside in the newly
renovated Sanders Suite where Amy was getting ready for her special day! After a
slight case of normal pre-wedding jitters, Amy was in her dress looking gorgeous
and ready to get to St. Joseph's Church to start her new life with her best
friend John!  Back at the Mansion Chef Will and banquet staff were busy getting
ready to wow Amy, John and their guests to a spectacular array of culinary
flavors that were both pleasing to the eyes and the palate. The ballroom looked
beautiful thanks in part to Price Chopper in Latham for providing all the
flowers.  After all the formalities,  DJ Paul Malo kept this party going from
beginning to end!
We totally enjoyed working with Amy, John and their families and wish them many
years of happiness together!

Annemarie and Mark's Wedding

I can't think of a better way to start off the new year except to be part of
Annemarie and Mark's wedding!  I think we had as much fun as the family and
friends of the bride and groom.  As nervous and excited as Annemarie was, she
had everything planned out for her very special day.  She looked beautiful from
head to toe and her pictures certainly did not show her nerves.  When we met
Mark at the exquisite St. John's Church in Schenectady, he too had a case of the
jitters, but he looked quite handsome in his blue suit!   After friends and
family were treated to a choral singer and moving service, we were back at The
Glen Sanders Mansion where quests were treated to a magnificent spread of a huge
array of cocktails and appetizers.  

We just want to thank Annemarie, Mark and their entire family for allowing us to
be part of this very happy day and we wish you many years of happiness!

Kelly & Brian's Wedding

Weddings in December can be rather tricky when it comes to the weather and the
cold, but when the bride and groom love snow, it makes life easier when you want
to go outside and take pictures!
We started out the day at the Glen Sanders Mansion Inn where Kelly was getting
ready.  She looked beautiful as she posed like a professional in front of the
camera along with the entire wedding party.
From there we met Brian and his groomsmen at the church while they waited for
Kelly and the girls to arrive.  After a beautiful ceremony, we were back at the
Glen Sanders Mansion where family and friends were treated to an amazing
cocktail hour, followed by a delicious dinner.  After two emotional parent
dances, Nick Madelone the DJ for the evening, had everyone up on their feet
dancing the rest of the night!
We just want to thank Kelly, Brian and their friends and family for allowing us
to be a part of their very happy wedding day!  It was truly a pleasure working
with you and we wish you health and happiness for the New Year and your new life
together!

Christina and Mark's Wedding

What a spectacular September day for a wedding!  It was perfect and so was the bride-to-be 

Christina!  As we arrived at the brides home, you could feel the excitement as the family and 

bridal party were scurrying around getting ready as the limousines were waiting to take them to

St. Luke's Church.

At the church, Mark and his brother Adam patiently waited for us to spend some time with him, 

but now he was anxious to see his beautiful bride. Family and friends gathered to witness the 

beginning of Christina and Mark's new journey together as the ceremony proceeded and they 

pronounced their love for each other.

As we arrived at the beautiful Glen Sanders Mansion overlooking the Mohawk River, quests were 

treated to an amazing cocktail hour with a huge assortment of food and drinks.  Before Christina 

and Mark enjoyed the cocktail hour we took advantage of the perfect weather and the docks on the 

river to take some awesome pictures and Brett Wasserman from "Silhouette on Video Art" was right 

there filming.

As guests entered the ballroom, they were treated to beautifully decorated tables thanks in 

part to Central Market Florist.  After everyone enjoyed an amazing dinner, the cake was cut, and 

the parent dances were complete, it was time for DJ Vinny "Cool Cat"  to get this party started 

and that is exactly what he did.  It was a non-stop celebration even as everyone made a conga line 

out to the patio for the Viennese Table display.  

We just want to thank you Christina and Mark and your families for making us feel welcome and 

letting us be a part of this very happy day!

Meghann and Kyle’s Wedding

Sunday had to be one of the hottest days in August, but when we arrived at Meg’s family home,
everyone was cool and calm as they prepared to get ready for their daughter’s special day. Meg looked beautiful as she walked into the family room knowing that in just a couple of hours her dream will come true!
At the church two handsome guys, Kyle and his brother Justin were waiting patiently while family and friends were gathering to witness this happy young couple say I do. The ceremony was perfect and now we are off to The Glen Sanders Mansion. As we arrived guests were escorted to the patio overlooking the Mohawk River as they experienced a magnificent array of cocktails and hordeurves.  The ballroom looked
spectacular with beautiful floral arrangements and bags of heather for quests to take home as favors.  Nate from Piano Man DJ Productions introduced the excited wedding party into the room and this party got started!  After all the formalities and an emotional speech from the father of the bride, everyone especially all the kids, were dancing the night away!
Thank you Meghann and Kyle for letting us be a part of your celebration!

Kelly and Dan’s Wedding

What a spectacular day Kelly and Dan had for this happy fun loving couple! The weather was picture perfect with awesome cloud formations and no humidity. Kelly looked beautiful in her strapless white wedding dress and stunning pink shoes!

At the church Dan looked handsome as he anticipated the arrival of his bride-to-be, anxiously waiting to start their new life together. After the ceremony, we were off to the Glen Sanders Mansion, overlooking the Mohawk River. No matter what centerpieces are used or what color linens are covering the tables, the grand ballroom can be transformed into any brides dream wedding. As soon as the introductions were complete, the guests were treated to a very emotional father/daughter dance followed by dinner.  The food, the ambiance and the service at the Mansion is always outstanding. Now that all the formalities were completed, DJ Cool Cat Vinny, had everyone up on their feet dancing and just having a great time until the clock struck midnight!
Thank you Kelly and Dan for letting us be a part of your special day, and enjoy your honeymoon in Hawaii!

Marisa and Christopher

July 18, 2009

Every little girl dreams of a fairytale wedding, and on Saturday, July, 18th, Marisa didn’t have to dream anymore!  When we arrived at the DeGesare home there was happy chaos as 14 bridesmaids, 1 matron of honor, 4 adorable flower girls, 1 set of beaming parents and a very anxious bride ready to say “I DO”. The dress was gorgeous as it stood in the middle of the room, but looked breathtaking on the bride to be, with her fabulous pink shoes!

The ceremony at the church was amazing where you could feel the love coming from family and friends,  as everyone waited in anticipation for the union of Marisa and Chris. After the Church, we made a stop to Proctors Theater on State Street,  where the newlyweds wanted to take some fun pictures, but now it was time to get this party started!
As we arrived at The Glen Sanders Mansion and walked into the newly renovated Grand Ballroom, the fairytale continued as David Schmidt from Renaissance Florist transformed the room into every brides dream come true! The food, the attention to detail, and the staff is always perfection at the Mansion.
After all the formalities and a surprise song that Chris sang to his new bride, the TS Ensemble led a conga line outside where everybody was treated to a fireworks display then brought back inside to an amazing Viennese table on the patio. The rest of the night was left for family and friends to have fun and dance!  

Congratulations Marisa & Chris.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

A special day at the newly decorated Glen Sanders. The couple are just the cutest.
