I can not think of a better place to get married. From start to finish Marianna and her team have been nothing but amazing. My husband has a lot of allergies to food and they were able to accommodate everything. Marianna answered all of my questions that I had. There was nothing but professionalism when working with me. She was planning her own wedding and got married the week after me but devoted a lot of time helping me. I would suggest any bride to get married at this place. My cousin wants to now get married at this venue. All my guests kept raving about the food. Reviewed on 12-11-2023

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Excelsior Springs Event Center for my daughter's wedding. Marianna and Terry were both exceptional. Marianna's attention to detail and seamless coordination made the process a breeze and both Marianna and Terry ensured everything ran smoothly on the big day. And the food was simply outstanding, adding another layer of delight to the celebration. Highly recommend Excelsior Springs Event Center for any special occasion Reviewed on 22-01-2024

My now husband and I had such a wonderful experience having our wedding at Excelsior Springs. The planners and staff of both the event center and Marriott hotel were all amazing. Their wedding packages are so good and include so much. The food was AMAZING and I still have people tell me how good it was. The team kept the whole day running smoothly so I didn't have to worry about anything but walking down that aisle! Reviewed on 31-10-2023

I held my daughter's bridal shower at the Excelsior Springs Event Center, Saratoga Springs, NY and I am pleased to share my wonderful experience. From the planning phase, my event coordinator. Katie. was attentive to my requests and offered suggestions to elevate the event. Attention to detail was exhibited by the whole team, especially the banquet captain, Terri, who made sure I had everything I needed during the event; plus she expertly rolled napkins into beautiful rosettes! The food was delicious and abundant. Many ladies who attended the shower said that it was the best shower they attended, and many were from the local area! Thank you to the team of Excelsior Springs for making my daughter's bridal shower a memorable event! Reviewed on 29-10-2023

Chelsea Carson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2023 Marianna, Terry, and the team at Excelsior Springs executed our dream wedding in Saratoga Springs on March 25, 2023! When I found this venue on Wedding Wire, it sounded too good to be true. Growing up locally, I had never even heard of it, but it had everything we were looking for in a wedding venue in a perfect location! Despite the fact that my husband and I live about 4 hours away, Marianna made the planning process so easy. She accommodated a second walk-through of the space when we couldn't decide between Excelsior Springs and another venue, she was always incredibly responsive to emails and calls, she was super organized, she provided us with trusted recommendations for everything we could have needed to make our wedding exactly how we envisioned it, and she did all of this with grace, kindness, and an obvious passion for weddings. We had about 115 guests, most of whom stayed next door at the Courtyard for multiple nights, and we have only heard amazing things about the experiences our guests had during the entire wedding weekend from check-in to check-out. The bridal suite was incredible. It was huge and there was more than enough space for all of my bridesmaids to get glammed up while enjoying breakfast at the huge dining table! My bridesmaids also stayed in the adjoining rooms. My husband stayed in a suite a few floors up that accommodated his groomsmen perfectly the morning of the wedding. Our guests loved the cocktail hour and reception food, which was super important to us. The ballroom space completely transformed when we added our personal touches to it (we rented chairs and twinkle lights for behind the sweetheart table and chose the perfect light green and silver color scheme for the room.) When we went to the venue to set everything up the day before the wedding, we were completely in awe of the work that Terry and Marianna did to make it look so beautiful! The cocktail hour space felt so much bigger than it looked and was set up perfectly so that our guests could access our guest book, card box, and seating cards while enjoying the cocktail hour food and drinks from the bar. The bathrooms were spotless the whole night. The wait staff and bartenders were on top of everything from beginning to end. The ballroom space was exactly what we were looking for in that it wasn't cramped at all even with a big dance floor, the DJ booth, and a large dessert table. All of our guests had a view of the whole ballroom all night, the event center was private and only accessible to us and our guests, and most importantly, Excelsior Springs and the Courtyard were located walking distance from Broadway which made traveling for a wedding exciting for our guests! If you are looking for an affordable and beautiful wedding venue in downtown Saratoga Springs and you want your out-of-town guests to have an incredible wedding weekend in one of the best cities in New York, this is the venue for you.

Donella Fisher(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 Where do I begin....Absolutely beautiful venue. Staff was exceptional to work with (Terry from the banquet staff was the best). Chef, the food was excellent! The comment I hear the most was \"you could cut the filet with a butter knife and the taste was out of this world\"! I can't thank you all for all your hard work and your friendliness. Marianna I had my doubts in the beginning but you came through for us and can't thank you enough. Reviewed on 16-11-2022
Dylanne Golas(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-01-2022 We had the most BEAUTIFUL day at Excelsior Springs! First off, we had to change our venue 4 months before our wedding. Marianna was so helpful, reassuring, and answered any questions we had promptly. She was so organized and had everything laid out for us. She was our saving grace! If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have had our most perfect wedding day! After an hour into our reception we ran out of our favorite beer. She ran downtown and got 6 more cases for us! Not many people can say their wedding coordinator go above and beyond like that! Our guests are still talking about the food, drinks, and how beautiful the venue and hotel were! The best part: the hotel is right next door so no guests had to drive! They hosted our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. All were exceptional! The food was AMAZING! All the staff were so kind as well! Marianna has a heart of gold and would have done anything for us! I’m so glad our original venue fell through because Excelsior Springs was the absolute perfect venue! Reviewed on 24-01-2022

Paul Saunders(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2018 I am a wedding photographer and had the pleasure of working with Alyssa at Excelsior Springs in Saratoga recently and everything was amazing. From the moment I arrived everyone made me VERY welcome and were exceptionally helpful. First-class service all the way. Alyssa and everyone on her team are wonderful and so friendly. I'm very certain the couple and their families had a brilliant experience throughout their wedding day and weekend at the Courtyard by Marriot hotel next door. The staff and service were a big reason why. Not to mention the delicious food choices. In other words, everything was perfect and done right from the getting ready and ceremony. Impressed would be an under-statement. On a personal note to Alyssa, thank you for being such a wonderful professional to work with and for making my job so much easier. You ARE brilliant!
