Lacey B. Sent on 02/17/2024Amazing from start to finish!!!
My husband and I got married at The Queensbury Hotel 10.6.23 , I knew from the moment we looked at the venue I wanted to get married there. I felt the venue spoke for itself - true beauty and we could keep everything to a minimum and we did! Aside from the beauty of the venue the team was amazing to work with! Thank you "B" Team (Bruce and Becca) you both were amazing to work with! Bruce you truly went above and beyond on our wedding day to make everything run so smoothly!! THANK YOU! Aside from them, any other staff member was great as well! They made everything so easy. The food was amazing, all our guest were extremely happy with the food from cocktail hour to dinner! Bruce even made sure we were able to enjoy our own cocktail hour after some photos were done. If you're considering The Queensbury Hotel don't second guess it, I'm sure you'll be just as happy as we were. Thank you all again, for going above and beyond to make us feel so special :) -

Our wedding at the Queensbury Hotel could not have been better. From the planning process to the day of everything was smooth and easy. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour appetizers and absolutely devoured their entrees. The staff was attentive to all of my needs from management to service and made each moment special. The dance floor was were I spent most of my night and was the perfect size to accommodate our large wedding. I wouldn’t change a single thing about my day! -

Working with The Queensbury for my wedding (and bridal shower) was an all-around amazing experience!
I primarily worked alongside Rebecca Cornell (and a separate wedding planner, Kate Taylor). Rebecca was such a joy to work with! Her kindness, excitement, flexibility, and professionalism really made me feel valued as a bride. She continuously assured me that her goal was to bring my wedding-day-vision to life while also providing practical guidance. She was always prompt in her emails to me and available to take my call. Honestly, at the end of all the planning and the day itself, I just wanted to be her friend!
Although Rebecca was my main point of contact, the entire Q staff were great! I had a very particular vision for how I wanted the aesthetic of my reception (the actually ceremony was in Glens Falls City Park). The Q offers lovely ballrooms, but I didn’t want “that typical ballroom look”. They have a room, The Gold Room, with beautiful original tile, natural light, and of course beautiful gold accents. That was the room that really drew me in. Part of my vision included having long banquet tables, instead of round tables. The staff was a bit hesitant with using these kind of tables in this room. They had never done it before and weren’t sure that they could fit my guests in comfortably. After many back-and-forth email exchanges and revisions to the floor plan, The Q came through! My desired floor plan, with the long tables, was approved! Having The Gold Room and this type of seating was a big desire of mine––I am so thankful for Rebecca and the rest of the staff and their endless brainstorming and work to make this dream a reality. The space ended up looking fantastic! We were able to do the eating and speeches (Though, I will say, the acoustics in the room made it a bit difficult to hear) in The Gold Room and the dancing and dessert in the adjacent (connected) ballroom. If I can update this later, I will provide pictures once I have them.
The food was also amazing! I was able to have both the salmon and filet and they were both delicious. I am not usually a fan of the dinners served at weddings, as it sometimes tastes kind of bland. I could be biased with my own wedding, but I believe I heard people comment on how good the food was— definitely full of flavor! As for the bar, my dad and I went back and forth with consumption versus open bar. I believe he talked to Rebecca, and did some of his own calculations (estimating how many drinks each person would have). He ended up deciding on a consumption bar, which in the end saved him a significant amount of money. My husband I also did signature drinks. His was a classic Whiskey Old Fashion and mine was a Raspberry Gin Fizz, a drink on The Q’s regular bar menu. The Old Fashion was great, from what I heard. Unfortunately, but for the sake of honesty in this review, the Raspberry Gin Fizz was not great. It seemed like it was inconsistent in flavor and often had the egg white missing. It’s usually a great drink, so I was bummed that it didn’t taste the way it normally does! But, in my opinion, that was a minor mistake.
Speaking of drinks, cocktail hour was a dream! We were able to host it in the main lobby. The lobby is stunning with it’s ceiling to floor windows and original black and white square tiles!
As far as other accommodations, we paid a fee to utilize one of their small conference rooms as a getting-ready-space for the groomsmen. It was nice because everyone in the wedding party could use the space to store their bags and other things throughout the day to when the reception ended. My husband and I were also provided a complementary stay in one of their king suites (all the rooms are really nice and recently renovated) the night of the wedding.
I can’t say enough good things about The Queensbury, from the responsiveness and kindness of the staff to the natural beauty found in such a historic hotel, I had an amazing wedding day! I genuinely couldn’t be happier with how things turned out!

Having our wedding at the Queensbury Hotel was truly a dream come true. From booking with them in 2019 to having to postpone due to the pandemic...the staff have been beyond amazing and accommodating. Becca and Alexis are the absolute best to work with. They eliminated all stressors with wedding planning. Choosing which package to go with was a breeze, coordinating a block of rooms for all of our guests was mindless (we all live out of town). Becca truly went above and beyond to ensure our dreams became reality and then exceeded any expectation we ever had. Becca ensured we were able to check in early on Friday. The appetizers for cocktail hour were out of this world delicious. All of our guests were blown away with dinner. The bar manager made us feel special by taking time out of his busy day to create "his" and "hers" drinks and making changes to suit our likes vs dislikes. We cannot stress enough that all of the staff are truly amazing! We would host any family event at the Q and will tell anyone that will listen about the absolute perfect weekend we had. From check in to check out we were just in awe of how we were treated! 10/10 recommendation! We are almost sad that the wedding is over and we will no longer be working with Becca and Alexis. We highly, highly urge everyone to book all events with The Queensbury Hotel. We promise you will not be disappointed! -

Wouldn’t imagine having our reception anywhere else
Looking around for a venue that gives you the best value and quality for your money can be a long stressful process but I will say if you are looking in the hotel categories north of Saratoga look no further.
From our first tour around the place to our Christmas greeting card we just got in the mail, we couldn’t be happier with the staff at the Q hotel. Rebecca and her team coordinated the best day ever, she was so invested in making sure every detail was just right, and would talk over the phone with me in great detail which I appreciated greatly! She really made sure my vision came to light and it did! They were very flexible and provided us with quality service on our big day and all the days leading up to!
The venue itself is just beyond charming, with just the right amount of modern updates to compliment the original hotel style and architecture… which makes it feel so upscale and classy, its a great canvas for anyone looking for that style wedding, and not needing a ton of extra decor because the venues beauty itself shines through!
The original ballroom layout + attached side room(not sure official name) with open French doors allowed for perfect flow of guests throughout the evening. And having the cocktail hour in the lobby which is like my all time favorite 🤩 was just the cherry on top!! Stunning!
Guests still talk about how delicious and generously portioned our meals were and we also loved the food.
On the day of we were able to get photos taken on the roof top at golden hour which was just another great experience!
The hotel rooms were excellent as well, especially our bride and groom suite!!!
From the days of planning to the day of and day after Q hotel did wonderfully by us and I would highly recommend this venue! -

Wonderful Experience!
My husband and I had an amazing experience working with the planning team and felt like royalty the night of our wedding at the Q! Becca and Alexis were spectacular to work with and were always going above and beyond during the planning process. Planning a wedding is stressful enough. When you add the challenges of planning a wedding during a pandemic, it almost seemed impossible. These ladies were excellent at returning phone calls, answering questions, and calming nerves that came along with the unknown from the covid pandemic. They were flexible, organized, professional, and best of all (and most important to me) personable during this process. Becca was an angel the day of the wedding and made sure everything went smoothly and dealt with my nervous antics like a pro! The event staff was excellent! My husband and I and our guests did not have to worry about a thing other than celebrating our marriage. The convience of having everything all in one location was perfect! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and lodging can be all in one place with several things to do pre/post wedding within walking distance. We are so happy with how everything turned out and had the most magical and memerable day we could have ever hoped for! -

Wedding experience
My wedding was a huge success! The setting was beautiful and classy. The staff were absolutely wonderful to deal with. A list of local vendor was supplied which helped me start my planning. Communication was as often as it needed to be. The stress of making my day wonderful made me reach out often, mostly in the couple months prior. Requests to meet were never turned down. The food was amazing; not one person had a complaint about it. I was actually told by a few people that it was the best meal they ever had at a wedding!! I think the cost was reasonable for the setting. In the end, we were expecting a refund and thought there would be "hidden fees" that would've been kept by the hotel. Not the case! We were refunded exactly what we expected and in a timely manner. Did I mention that the food was amazing? Many many thanks to Jennifer and Matt, as well as all the support staff, in making our day magical!!!! (Regretably, I can only post a few pictures. Unable to access many pictures for some reason.) -

User3174998 Sent on 08/16/2017We used The Queensbury Hotel for our rehearsal dinner, post-wedding breakfast, and room block. Both meals were held in the Gold Room. The food and service were excellent. I have a food allergy and the manager, Evelyn, took special care to have the chef set aside a delicious and safe meal for me. She is very well organized and communicated well with both sets of parents while planning the two meals. We appreciated her work!
Given that we had our wedding in the peak tourist season of late July, the room block prices were reasonable for our out-of-town guests. Many enjoyed the pianist and bar downstairs. The bridal suite had an extra living room area but it seemed to be just two rooms joined together. I would skip that expense.
The Queensbury has recently been renovated to revitalize the charm of its historic rooms. The Gold Room is a beautiful space for a moderate-sized crowd and a seated-meal. The architecture speaks for itself- you don't need much decoration. The pillars might make a full wedding reception with dancing in The Gold Room difficult, but that's why they have the Ball Room down the hall! -

The wedding was May 18, 2019. Turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day! The Queensbury Hotel was not on my original wedding venue list. A friend/bridesmaid of mine had mentioned a wedding she had attended at The Queensbury. This friend/bridesmaid raved about the beauty of the venue and the delicious food. Jennifer Bliss gave my fiancé (now husband) and I a tour of the The Queensbury Hotel. We fell in love! The lobby is stunning! The ballroom has a beautiful wood dance floor! The cocktail hour room, ballroom, and bathrooms have these absolutely beautiful chandeliers. The location, the beauty, the new renovations, the staff, and the “home town feel” had us sold! And of course the affordability helped big time. Throughout the planning process Jennifer Bliss and Matt Shelton answered my every email in a timely manner for almost two years of planning. They were amazing! We planned a breakfast for the following morning after the wedding for our guests and it was more than we could have imagined. The breakfast was a very enjoyable way for us to say goodbye to our guests. I have very few negative things to say about The Queensbury Hotel. The only negative things from the ceremony/wedding were fixed and accommodated immediately. The Queensbury Hotel is not obligated to help with your ceremony outside the hotel even if it is across the street in the park gazebo. My DJ asked for a table and chair for equipment during the ceremony. The Queensbury Hotel was not obligated to but after talking to the DJ, the two vendors worked it out themselves. The wrong beer was served during the beginning of our cocktail hour but when caught by the mother of the bride was fixed shortly after that. And some guests were charged for the last hour of the reception for drinks. There was a miscommunication regarding open bar and this was fixed immediately as well. This venue was perfect, our wedding was perfect, and our weekend was perfect. Thank you to The Queensbury Hotel! -

It was rather simple to plan, everything went smoothly except that they had planned a prom directly after our ceremony which we held inside which led to us being rushed when it come to pictures by our alter. Other than that the food was fantastic and the reception went perfectly. So glad we decided to have our ceremony and reception at the Queensbury!
