We got married at Saratoga National Golf Club on April 12th, and it was truly the most incredible experience from start to finish. If you’re considering this venue—book it. You will be in the absolute best hands.
Saratoga National partners with Mazzone Hospitality (or vice versa!), and their team is second to none. Our sales coordinator, Ellie, was a total gem. She was responsive, supportive, and never nickel-and-dimed us on small changes or additions. Planning from out of town can be stressful, but she made everything easy and even helped us find smart ways to cut costs without sacrificing the experience.
The day before the wedding, our event manager, J’Leen, carefully set up all of our candles and décor exactly as we envisioned. She was professional, incredibly hardworking, and so thoughtful. I can’t say enough about what a great manager she is—she truly has everything down to a science. On the day of the wedding, the team executed everything flawlessly. They were kind to our guests, cleared plates quickly, and remained accessible throughout the event. After the celebration, they packed up all our items with care so we could easily pick them up the next morning.
Now, let’s talk about the food—our guests are STILL raving about it! Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.
As someone who works in Human Resources and plans corporate events multiple times a year, I’ve worked with many venues—and I can confidently say this team is the best I’ve ever encountered. If you’re comparing Saratoga National to other venues, let me save you the trouble: choose this one. You’ll be taken care of every step of the way.
Thank you to the entire team for giving us a day that exceeded every expectation. We are beyond grateful!

Read moreIf you’re thinking about Mazzones for your wedding, just book them. They are worth every penny. From the beginning, Kinley was incredibly responsive and had answers to every question (and I had a lot, as I planned my wedding myself). She had answers within 24 hours it felt like, and no question was too silly or too small. I knew we were in good hands with her. The day before, we met with her and Jordan, who was our day of coordinator. He was fantastic. High energy and made sure we had everything we needed and kept us on track all night. We also had Lindsey, who also took care of us all night, making sure we had drinks in our hands and a bite of all the passed tray bites at cocktail hour. Mazzones truly delivered above and beyond. They made everything look so beautiful and exactly how I envisioned it. I didn’t have to worry about a thing all night.
As for the food, my guests haven’t stopped raving about it. The dumplings at cocktail hour were the best! I don’t think anyone has stopped thinking about the crab dip either. Dinners came out on time and hot, and both the chicken and beef were amazing. We didn’t get any of our cake the night of, but it was so good that some of our guests were stealing other peoples plates! They sent us home with so many leftovers and the top of our cake to enjoy and even a day later everything was still excellent.
Words can’t express our gratitude to the team at Mazzones that made our wedding the best night ever. They even brought out a cupcake to celebrate my husband’s grandmother’s 99th birthday which was the day after our wedding. They really knocked it out...
Read moreAlthough great food, and a super chef...this is by no means a cooking class. Very disappointed for $90 per couple to attend. The class is not hands-on, which some like, some don't, so be prepared. Everyone sat at tables instead of gathering around the massive island to watch and be engaged. The tables are too far away from the action! There was a video camera on the range, and one terribly placed on the counter, yet you couldn't not see what the chef was doing and how he was preparing things. Highly disappointed. Learned NOTHING! Second, don't expect a drink - except water! Yes, $45 per person for "light fare" and water...oh and ONE Guinness if you wanted it. Yes, ONE whole can of Guinness but no more than one!...and no other beverage option! I couldn't believe it! Where was the hospitality?!? All the ingredients were pre-measured in clear containers to save time, but you couldn't tell what the ingredients even where unless you carefully studied the recipe list during the demonstration. Lastly, although a very efficient and friendly waiter, each course he would try to take your plate before you could even finish your food! ...
