Carolyn and Dan had a beautiful ceremony at The Museum of Dance in Saratoga Springs before heading to their reception at Saratoga National Golf Club on April 14th, 2012.

Carolyn and Dan have the most adorable puppy dog! Check out his great green bow tie!

What fun colors for a pop of spring. The Ballroom and the decor was beautifully done by Kris Ann Elario of Fleurtacious Designs.

Rounding out this amazing team of vendors was Mike Garassi, Music Man Entertainment and Day of Coordination by the Sparkley Katie O‘.

Blair and Jeffrey were married at The Glen Sanders Mansion on March 31st, 2012.

Love, love, love the personalized hanger! It makes such a nice photograph for a wedding dress than a regular hanger!

The Ballroom looked beautiful with flowers from Dutch Touch and beautiful custom printed table numbers.

Fernando from PianoMan DJ kept the house rocking all night! I love the lighting and these flower girls are so cute!

I love these sweet treat bags that Blair and Jeffrey put together for their guests! Plus who doesn’t love a good black and white cookie?

Michael Gallitelli of Metroland Photo captured some amazing images on the patio off the back of Glen Sanders. What a beautiful wedding! Congratulations Blair and Jeffrey!

Real Wedding Spotlight: Winter Wonderland!

emilym — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:45:58 +0000

You have to see this amazing winter wedding! The team here at Mazzone Hospitality was so honored to work with a great group of vendors on this event including the always fabulous David Michael Schmidt of Renaissance Floral Design!

The Appel Inn is a beautiful, quaint place for a wedding reception. With the tent off the porch from Clifton Park Rental the space was extended to create this crisp, Adirondack cabin feel.

Not a single detail was overlooked from the mix of round and farm tables to the beautiful birch feel of the menus by The Pink Orange.

The use of natural items like twigs and pinecones complement the silver candles, and white flowers perfectly capturing the essence and magic of winter.

I love the use of vintage brooches in the bridal bouquet. This is a trend that is one the rise and is perfect for winter to add the hint of elegance and sparkle!

Kelly and Joe were married on March 3rd, 2012 at Key Hall at Proctors.

Kelly and Joe’s ceremony took place in Key Hall at Proctors itself. Minutes before the ceremony, Kelly realized her vows were on her cell phone! I love this shot of Kelly peeking out of the bridal suite to see if everyone is ready! Jeff Foley captured some amazing images of the evening.

Kelly and Joe had a stations reception with some great food choices, including this fun mashed potato martini bar.

Jersey Boys was going on at Proctors that evening, but you’d never know it from these great images Jeff Foley got in the arcade!

Kelly and Joe had a black and white damask theme that fit perfectly in Key Hall. I love all of the floral pieces from Central Market Florists as well!

The uplighting package at Key Hall at Proctors can completely change the atmosphere of the room. Kelly and Joe chose to have the lights change colors at an interval- I love the vibrancy of the colors!

Congratulations Kelly and Joe!
