    The Altamont Manor was Awesome!!!

    My wife and I got married in October at the Altamont Manor. The Manor is beautiful and the gardens are breathtaking! Harvey was always a phone call away when my wife had questions about anything from vendors, photographers, weather, transportation, timing, etc. The day itself went perfectly! Harvey was behind the scenes directly everything from the very beginning. Harvey and his wife Donna also did the photography for our wedding. They did an amazing job! They know exactly where the best locations are for pictures at their venue as it is also their home! The best lighting, scenery, etc. You won't be disappointed if you choose the Altamont Manor. I know we were impressed with the venue, the owners, and the service!!!!!

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hi Don,
    Thanks for the great review. Doing the photography was a lot of fun, especially since everyone had a great sense of humor. That makes for some awesome photos that captures the energy and emotions of the day.
    Thanks again.

    More Than A Venue

    We had our wedding at the Altamont Manor in October. The Altamont Manor is a wedding venue, but also Harvey and Donna's home. It is beyond beautiful. It is such a welcoming place. The sunken garden, the fountain, the flowers and bushes, and the home itself are skillfully maintained. The house has such history! Harvey is more than willing to share in the history of his beautiful home. Harvey and Donna helped to make our wedding day perfect from the first time we met at the Altamont Manor. They provided information to help us get started with our vendors including caterers, DJs, Officiants, transportation companies, florists, bakeries, bands, etc. Harvey shared his expert knowledge on how to make it all come together. He was always available on the phone to answer any and all questions and did all of the work behind the scenes before, during, and after the wedding. When you choose the Altamont Manor for your wedding you receive a beautiful place for your wedding with indoor and outdoor options in case the weather turns sour on your special day. You also get Harvey who will work as your personal wedding planner behind the scenes to make it all come together exactly as you had hoped. And Harvey and his wife Donna can be hired to be your wedding photographers. They work as a team to make sure they your pictures turn out perfect! Knowing the venue also gives them the ability to choose the best places for photographs. If you are getting married, the Altamont Manor is the place to go!!!!!

    Hello Dolores,
    Thank you for the wonderful review. It was a real pleasure working with you. You were very organized and had a clear vision of what you wanted and by your comments we were able to make it happen. We try to "Ace It"...Anticipate Couple's Expectations In Time. We enjoy working with couples that have a vision that they share with us as it makes the day go smoothly and stress free. You touched on our performance for every aspect of the wedding, including our list of vendors. These are vendors that have performed exceptionally well over the years and contribute to making the day a fantastic experience.
    Thanks again,
    Harvey

    An Enchanting September Evening in Altamont ♥️

    Our wedding was absolutely everything I hoped for and more. The manor is gorgeous, historic, and so lovingly preserved thanks to the stewardship of Harvey and his wife. Harvey was so helpful from the very first time we toured the manor and grounds - suggesting tips and tricks to make our day great.

    Harvey even appeared out of nowhere during the reception to help my husband wipe some scuff off of his shoulder! Talk about attention to detail!

    All of the vendors recommended to us by Harvey were also phenomenal. Especially Turf Tavern. It is obvious that Harvey knows his stuff and cares deeply about every wedding that takes place in his beautiful home. Our guests are still raving about the beauty of the manor! Which is no surprise at all, as it is truly magnificent.

    I’m still glowing from our perfect day. I’ve added some pictures, but please go see this place for yourself because my photos simply do not do it justice.

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Bonnie,
    We really appreciate the great review. I'm particularly impressed that you wrote and submitted it before going on the honeymoon. I know you have a million things to do before you leave so I'm happy you were moved enough to get it right out. Thanks so much

    Beautiful Venue

    Altamont Manor was a gorgeous venue for our wedding! Harvey was very responsive and thorough throughout the wedding process. All of the guests raved about this venue. Would highly recommend.

    Hi Kristen, Not only a great review but within 3 days. That has to be some sort of record. Thank you very much.

    Perfect Venue in the Albany Area

    We had our wedding at the Altamont Manor on September 16th and all of our guests can't stop raving about how nice it was! We had our ceremony in the venue's sunken garden, which was the perfect setting - private, beautiful, with views of the Helderberg Escarpment and beyond. The large veranda was perfect for mingling during cocktail hour and the reception. The layout inside for the reception was perfect - it is easy to see the dancefloor from all of the tables and the bar is right off the dance floor. Harvey was responsive to our questions throughout the wedding planning process and clearly knows his stuff when it comes to weddings! He helped coordinate the day's activities seamlessly so that everything would go as planned. We would HIGHLY recommend this venue for both the beautiful atmosphere, and the professionalism that Harvey has to offer.

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Jennifer and Ryan,
    I really appreciate your taking the time to post such a wonderful review. It was fun working with you and so glad your mentioning that all of the guests raved about the Manor as well. Best wishes for the years ahead

    Beautiful location!

    We found out about Altamont Manor just a few weeks to our wedding and couldn’t change venues so close to the event. Although we didn’t use the venue for our wedding, the owners let us use their beautiful grounds for our pre-wedding photo/video shoot. They were flexible and willing to help every step of the way. The garden and beautiful grounds provided the perfect backdrop for our pre-wedding photo shoot. The lush greenery and picturesque settings created magical moments captured in every shot. Highly recommend this location for anyone looking to capture their special moments in a stunning and romantic environment.

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hi Temi,
    Thanks for the great review and thanks for trying to change venues so close to the date so that you could have your wedding here instead. It would have been great to have your wedding here especially with all your enthusiasm about the gardens and the setting. I understand it's pretty much impossible on such short notice but we're glad that you loved The Manor enough to at least give it a try. Doing your special photos here is a happy compromise. Please be sure to send me a link so I can see them. Thanks again. Harvey

    Absolutely perfect!!!

    My husband and I celebrated our one year anniversary/late reception this past weekend in April. The location of Altamont Manor is absolutely breathtaking and is perfect for photo opportunities. Harvey is so accommodating to make sure that everything was just the way we wanted. I called Harvey many many many times Asking for advice on how to go about setting up and planning the party and every time Harvey was more than happy to help. We were able to fit 100 guests with a lot of room to spare for our dance floor, DJ and food vendors. We did things a little differently than the traditional American wedding as this was a Indian party and I couldn’t be more pleased with how the way the outcome came. The guests are still raving about how this was one of the best parties they’ve been to in a while. I 300% recommend booking with the Altamont Manor.

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Michelle,
    Thank you so much for the great review. You were the first wedding of the season and I'm glad to see we were in "mid-season" form from the start. As for calling many times,...we like it that way because it assures that everything will go as planned and you'll have the wedding that you dreamed of and nothing is left to chance. Thanks again. Harvey

    Beautiful Wedding Garden Party & Dinner

    We held our welcome party and rehearsal dinner at the Altamont Manor and it was absolutely perfect. The gardens are spectacular and the home is stately; we particularly loved the Manor porch and classic, wood bar. Harvey was a pleasure to work with, attended to every detail and took a hands on approach to ensuring our event went smoothly. There are no venues in the area like the Altamont Manor!

    Such a rewarding experience

    Our experience with Harvey and Altamont Manor was in every way and every consideration truly special. The grounds are gorgeous and very well-kept-Harvey prides himself on this and with good reason it would seem. Harvey was the perfect steward for our marriage. Both his demeanor and his experience helped us in numerous ways and it's hard to imagine our wedding being as successful as it was without his presence. Thank you again Harvey and Altamont.

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a complimentary review. As you know we really work hard to maintain our gardens through all three seasons and it's no easy task with their size. It's really appreciated when couples notice them as well as the traditional service and attention to detail that is an Altamont Manor virtue passed down from generation to generation. Somewhere "up there" I think my parents are smiling knowing that their legacy is being carried on. Harvey

    My wedding at the Altamont Manor was Magical

    The property is breathtaking, would have not wanted my special day anywhere else. The Altamont Manor's grounds and atmosphere speak for itself. Definitely a hidden gem. Harvey and Donna are wonderful to work with. Also provide many options for inclimate weather.

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hi Kim and Chris. Hope the weather was good for your honeymoon. With the pandemic of the last couple of years many couples were reluctant to travel. Thanks for the great review. We really appreciate it. It was a delightful family centered event.

    Jeff and Lynn’s Wedding

    Jeff and I wanted a venue with a beautiful Victorian style with outdoor as well as indoor beauty. The day was perfect! Dew on the leaves from the morning with the sun glistening! The outdoor ceremony was beautiful, white chairs and arch alter was perfect. Violinist, cocktail hour on the veranda, the beauty of the manor was exquisite. Our guests enjoyed a delicious meal, scrumptious cake and cookies all while Harvey, the owner orchestrated picture opportunities throughout the entire event. The bar was flowing and people danced the night away to a DJ that knew just what to play to keep the dance floor full! We had a wonderful start to our new married life❤️Thank you Harvey and Donna!

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Lynn and Jeff,
    What a wonderful poetic review. Thank you so much. We had a great time taking the photos as you were both so willing to have fun and work with us to take advantage of the Manor's many garden settings. I expect we'll be using a couple of your photos in our Manor materials. Thanks again. Harvey

    Beautiful Wedding!

    My husband and I always knew that we were looking for a venue that was different from the typical “wedding factory.” We were searching for a venue that offered natural beauty, a vintage/classic feel, and many options for customization. We first visited The Altamont Manor in January, and even on the bleakest of days we knew right away we had found our venue. Harvey escorted us around the snow fallen grounds, and Victorian rooms inside. Upon meeting with Harvey and hearing about all of our options, we knew this venue perfect for our Fall wedding. When choosing the venue, you are choosing Harvey and Donna’s home. This ensures the utmost care for every detail from the flowers to the leaves on the grass. I am an extremely detail oriented person with many lists and DIY desires. Harvey managed this very well, and allowed me to do all of the decorations and preparations myself. This ability to create and set up the many personal touches for my big day was very important to me, and not allowed in many traditional venues. Harvey and Donna also photographed our wedding day, and made for such a seamless and well planned day. About 30 minutes before our ceremony, it poured rain. I really had dreamed of our ceremony outside down by the pond, and when the rain cleared with 5 minutes to spare Harvey and Donna helped gather all of our guests outside for the ceremony. Their level of flexibility and reassurance that all would go to plan truly set my mind at ease. I would highly recommend The Altamont Manor for any couple looking for a different experience from your traditional wedding factory. You will be guaranteed a personal and memorable day.

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Maggie,
    I think you're probably one of the luckiest brides we've ever had at the Altamont Manor. You managed to have it stop raining for not only the ceremony but we were able to squeeze in outdoor photos in between periods of rain. :-)). I appreciate your sending us a Christmas card using one of the photos. I remember all us walking past the Manor, across the parking lot and part way up the driveway for the shot. The whole time I'm thinking "come on, come on we have to get back and beat the rain. We're living on borrowed time and we have so many other shots to get in." And then to hear that you just got back from your honeymoon to St. Lucia, beating the probable upcoming Covid travel restrictions makes me think that you do have a guardian angel.

    I also want to thank you for recognizing the extra effort we put in to make each couple's wedding special. To quote from your review "I am an extremely detail oriented person with many lists and DIY desires. Harvey managed this very well, and allowed me to do all of the decorations and preparations myself." I'm heartened by that comment in particular because one of the statements that we make to prospective couples that visit is that we truly help them get the wedding of their dreams. Let's face it, every venue promises the moon when they're selling. Your comment gives credibility to our statement. It's not just "selling and promising," ...it's delivering on that promise. Thanks so much

    Amazing venue!

    I had my baby shower here in late September and it was perfect! The venue was stunning and the grounds were gorgeously kept. Everyone who we worked with was kind, responsive, helpful, and patient, and the day went by without a hitch. The setting looked like a scene from a fairytale, and I can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you to the entire Altamont Manor family!

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hi Julianna,
    Thank you for sharing your experience at the Altamont Manor. While the event was in the dining room it was heartening to see virtually everyone who attended go out to the sunken garden to enjoy the day further and take lots of photos. Thank you again.

    A Wonderful Day in Every Way

    We were so blessed to be able to host our daughter and now son-in-law's wedding at the Manor. We enjoyed every moment of the big day. We had such a wonderful time. It went by so fast that we wish we could do it again in the gorgeous surroundings. The Manor is so elegant and the grounds are breathtaking.
    Our guests had a wonderful time and were amazed by the beauty of the Manor - perfect pace for a wedding!
    We felt at ease about working out details and logistics of the day with Harvey and Donna. We also chose Harvey and Donna to do the photography- and we were very pleased by all the beautiful pictures- some we were not even aware they were taking.
    I highly recommend you take a look at the Altamont Manor and then book it!

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Betsy,
    We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at The Altamont Manor. It's always heartening to know that people notice and enjoy all the hard work that goes into maintaining the venue and the grounds, and of course that provides a great backdrop for wedding photography. I had to smile when you described the beautiful photos and you weren't aware that we were taking some of them. We try and strike a balance between the family group shots, the formals and the candids. We pride ourselves on providing a complete photographic experience with a variety of styles as well as capturing a wide range of emotions. Thank you again for taking the time to write.

    The Most Magical Venue Combined with Amazing Service

    The Altamont Manor was our first and only stop as we looked for venues! Don’t look elsewhere, it’s simply the best! We could not have asked for a better venue, service or photography services! The venue was picture perfect and the day went off without a hitch thanks to Harvey executing every detail to make our day flow smoothly. The sunken garden made the most wonderful spot for our ceremony, and the reception inside were both simply elegant! The hydrangeas were just beautiful combined with the beautiful greenery and fountain. Could not have asked for better service or a better day. We will cherish it forever and thanks to Harvey and Donna’s photography we have the most beautiful pictures to relive it over and over!

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Grace. Thank you so much for the great comments. We had a lot of fun shooting your wedding as well. You two were so easy to work with and open to suggestions, which results in great images every time. Harvey

    Perfection

    Between the scenic views outside and the beautiful interior, the Altamont Manor is your dream wedding venue. The professionalism of Harvey and his team blew my mind. Our every request was not only met, but surpassed our expectations. Not only are Harvey and Donna the perfect hosts, they’re world class photographers. Magical day, the best day ever!

    No Better Place for a Wedding!

    There are not enough words to describe our pleasure with the Altamont Manor. The day was perfect. Harvey and Donna really took care of us. They provided so many options for "worst case" weather scenarios but thankfully it didn't matter because the weather was perfect. Still, having so many options put any of my daughter's potential worries to rest. The setting itself is beautiful. There's really nothing like it in New York's Capital Region. The views are stunning. You can see the mountains in Vermont and Massachusetts. The grounds are amazing and the manor is just perfect. And Harvey and Donna also really care about the details. They worked closely with our caterer, DJ, florist and pastor. We also went with them for photography and they really blew us away with the photos too. Not a single complaint. You will not go wrong going with the Altamont Manor. Beyond pleased, ecstatic! It's a day we think about over and over again!

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Rick,
    We really appreciate your comments. It's always nice to know that the work and maintenance we put into the grounds is noticed as well as the attention to detail in coordinating and working with the vendors to make it all flow smoothly. Thanks again. Harvey

    Perfect place for the best day ever

    We are so happy that we decided to get married at The Altamont Manor! Wedding planning really wasn’t our thing but Harvey made it to so easy. His many years of experience in the wedding industry helped us pick our other vendors. We enjoyed our day while Harvey took care of all the details. Our guests enjoyed themselves at this of the beaten path venue. This venue is definitely worth the drive and you feel like you are in a different world when you are at The Altamont Manor. The gardens and historic house are so well maintained. We really appreciate all of the hard work that goes into maintaining all of those flowers and plants. Our guests enjoyed the porch and exploring the gardens during cocktail hour. The sunken garden was the perfect place for our ceremony. The dinning room had plenty of space so all of our guests felt comfortable at dinner. They even has a great spot for our donut display. We really appreciate all of the hard work and care The Altamont Manor team put into making our day the best day ever!

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Russell, We really appreciate your comments and noticing the details. When prospective couples come to visit, I try and emphasize the attention to detail and service we provide. It's heartening to have that mentioned in reviews. It's not just us saying it but the couples themselves. Thanks again.

    EXCELLENT Wedding Experience

    My daughter got married at the Altamont Manor and everything was absolutely beautiful! You feel like you are on a Manor estate in the middle of the country! The owner, Harvey, was professional and very accommodating. He answered all our questions and gave valuable input. You can tell he has been in this business for awhile. We were impressed by his knowledge of weddings and all the details. 
    They were married in an outdoor ceremony in the sunken garden in front of the ornate arch with beautiful flowers and fall leaves softly dropping. It was breathtaking!
    Cocktail hour was on the wraparound porch. The reception area is beautiful and spacious. The windows around the entire room allow in natural light and it was so nice to look out at the spectacular view and all the greenery and flowers. The setup of the venue is great! For those that aren't dancing there is the quiet wraparound porch for talking and catching up.
    The outdoor grounds are meticulously maintained by Donna and Harvey. I just loved the entrance way decorative arch with greenery and lights - it is one of a kind! It was a beautiful background for the couple's photographs, which became their Christmas card photograph!
    I highly recommend this venue for a beautiful, unique and reasonably priced venue. Thank you Harvey and Donna for helping make their wedding day so special!

    Hello Kathy. Thank you for the wonderful and detailed review. It's very much appreciated and it's extra special when parents are moved to write a review as well as the couple. We spend a lot of time working on the grounds and it's heartening to see that it's noticed and appreciated.

    What a wonderful wedding!

    The Altamont Manor is now one of our favorite places! Our guests were so impressed with the well maintained gardens and spectacular views. We had a beautiful fall wedding with leaves falling like confetti during our ceremony. Harvey was so organized and kept the day running smoothly so we could enjoy ourselves and spend time with our guests. The elegant wrap around porch was perfect for our cocktail hour. We enjoyed the sunset sky while eating dinner and had a blast dancing the night away. Since the manor is so spacious our guest who didn’t want to dance had a place to talk and catch up. We can not thank The Altamont Manor family enough for all of their hard work that made our wedding so wonderful :)

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hi Lesia, We really enjoyed having you at The Manor. It was a pleasure working with you on the details and arrangements and being able to accommodate your requests. It was almost like planning for a family member. We appreciate your generous gift of one of the centerpieces. They were quite lovely and with only one per table, your appreciation of our efforts makes it that much more special. The Oxacalis is doing fine and the spot of color during the cold drab winter brightens up the day.
    Harvey

    Sister’s Wedding on 9/18/21

    I was the maid of honor at my sisters wedding at the Altamont manor. The gardens were breathtakingly beautiful. My favorite view of them was standing on the wrap around porch and looking out over all them. You can tell they are well maintained and cared for by the owners Harvey and Donna. The manor building itself is a well maintained victorian style manor, while still offering the comforts and amenities of a modern facility. Harvey was great and organized.He provided weather updates because there were chances of rain in the afternoon that thankful never showed. It was a wonderful day, our family will always remember thank you to the Altamont Manor for helping make this happen!

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Michaela,
    Thanks for the wonderful review. Glad you noticed and appreciated the modern amenities in a Victorian home. We try to maintain the Victorian charm of the house and gardens while keeping all the essentials such as air conditioning, municipal water-not well water and modern bathrooms.

    Father of the Bride

    I had a wonderful time at our daughter’s wedding. In mid-September, both the grounds and gardens at the Altamont Manor were beautiful and well-maintained. The wrap around porch was the perfect place to be able to mingle with our guests before everyone was summoned into the banquet room for dinner. Thank you Harvey and Donna for making this day memorable for my family and our guests. I would highly recommend the Altamont Manor to any couple looking for that ideal place for their wedding.

    Beautiful and Flexible

    I would not have wanted anyone else to handle my wedding. The venue is gorgeous, but perhaps more importantly, flexible to our needs. My husband and I chose the Altamont Manor partially because of how easily you can make adjustments to your ceremony depending on the weather, and I'm so glad we did -- as we got hit by a tropical storm on our wedding day! It struck me, as I watched the weather forecast that day, how unique Harvey is, that I trusted him to handle whatever came our way and I didn't have to worry about it all myself. And indeed, we still had a blast and all our guests were still complimenting us on a beautiful ceremony and reception.

    I would absolutely encourage anyone to choose the Altamont Manor. Harvey guided us through the steps to create an amazing event even through the COVID-19 pandemic, even through tropical storms, and even through my absolute lack of talent for event planning. We also separately hired him as our photographer, which was a great idea, because he knew all the best places on the grounds to get good shots both before and after the rain started.

    I cannot say enough about how great the Altamont Manor was for us. It changed what could have been a stressful day into a great story and an amazing memory. If I had to do it all again, I would absolutely make the same choice.

    Altamont Manor's reply:

    Hello Emma and Matt. We've done about 800 weddings and it's impossible to remember them all, but yours will truly be one that stands out. How many people get married during a hurricane, still have the ceremony outside and yet manage to stay dry? We really appreciate your taking the time to articulate the capabilities we have to make sure couples have a fabulous day, regardless of the weather. I'd also like to comment on the guests. In these trying times of the pandemic, so many wore masks and willingly presented vax cards and it was still a great party. It's what we call "Spirited but well behaved." It was a real pleasure to have everyone in our home and also to do the photography where there was a wonderful energy and good vibes. Harvey

    Beautiful Day

    We had our wedding on August 14,2021 and had the best experience with Harvey at Altamont Manor. While planning, he let us visit the venue in many seasons to ask questions/see the setup again. He always replied to phone calls the same day and kept us updated on COVID protocols. On the day of, Harvey kept up on maintenance, even cleaning up broken glass within minutes. The manor itself is gorgeous and the landscaping is incredible. I am so glad we had our wedding at the Altamont Manor and got to work with Harvey. Thanks Harvey!

    Absolutely Perfect

    With the pandemic, naturally we ran into a whole host of issues but nothing but flexibility and consideration from Harvey and Donna, they really were the ones to put our day over the top! The atmosphere speaks for itself, the property is quite literally breathtaking in the summer, we got married at the end of July. Knowing that we had great options for rain or shine truly took away any worrying we may have had about weather but luckily we were able to have the ceremony down by the fountain, and it was perfect! Harvey was able to provide valuable insight regarding angles for pictures, different setup options for the reception, and captured our most beautiful moments!! The Altamont Manor is a venue I would highly recommend to anyone, especially considering how reasonable the pricing was. Our whole experience from the beginning of the planning to the end of our night was amazing and we can’t thank Harvey and Donna enough for helping to make our wedding day and night unforgettable for all who were there! Thank you both again!

    Hi Brodie,
    Thanks so much for the great comments. It was a pleasure working with you and Samantha. It's always gratifying to see that couples appreciate all the effort we put into the gardens as well as the coordination and working around all the Covid 19 issues. The photos are looking great and we'll have them to you shortly. Harvey
