Weddings

Your wedding weekend begins after checking into your suite, perched in the center of the Main Hotel, offering newlyweds some of the best lake views the resort has to offer. Toast to the kickoff of your wedding weekend from your balcony overlooking the resort’s expansive pool deck, multiple restaurants, and waterfront. Afterwards, head downstairs where a candlelit alfresco dinner sets the stage for a romantic evening for two on the terrace at La Bella Vita.

Take in the morning views with a frothy cappuccino and decadent breakfast staples from the resort’s La Bella Vita. After a leisurely morning in, meander to the resort’s spa, where you’ll be treated to an extensive menu of indulgences. From deep tissue and Reiki energy massages to pore-tightening facials, there are plenty of ways to relax and reset before your big day.

After a brief ceremony rehearsal, you and your guests can kick off the celebration with a rehearsal dinner aboard The Morgan, The Sagamore Resort’s own 72-foot replica of a nineteenth-century touring vessel that puts the tranquil beauty of Lake George and the majestic Adirondack Mountains on full display. Continue the festivities with a more casual welcome reception on the Lake View Lawn, where you’ll finish the night on a sweet note, thanks to gooey fireside s’mores.

After another hearty breakfast, shake off wedding-day jitters with one of the many activities offered on-site. One or two hours by the outdoor heated pool, for example, provides the time to get lost in a book or moon over the jaw-dropping landscape as anxiety ebbs away. Whether it’s swinging irons on the golf course or curling irons in the salon, which offers four chairs and a makeup station, a busy morning is ahead with staff available to support every step of the way.

The preparations are underway, and the ceremony is fast approaching. Now’s a good time to shoot your first-look wedding photos by the lake or on the private balcony of your suite. After sharing this quiet, emotional moment with your partner, exchange time-honored vows on the Veranda Lower Terrace with a backdrop of a personalized arbor and unobstructed views of the glittering lake and mountain range. Next, cocktail hour on the Dollar Island Terrace and adjacent lawn will prove to be a perfect segue into the reception.

Here comes the post-ceremony party: your wedding reception – a time for you and your guests to eat, mingle, and celebrate the new couple with flutes of champagne in hand. There’s no shortage of remarkable banquet spaces on-site, but for a truly unforgettable party, the Shelving Rock Terrace boasts big allures: even more breathtaking vistas, ample versatility for themed events, and a tent canopy that provides the perfect indoor-outdoor venue. End the night by heading over to Mr. Brown’s, where touches of dark wood and antler chandeliers lend the pub-style spot a warm and woodsy ambience.

Now that you’ve said your vows, cut the first slice of your wedding cake, and danced the night away, it’s time to bask in that post-wedding bliss. There’s no better way to reflect on every incredible moment than over a scrumptious brunch, so head over to La Bella Vita, where your adventure at the Sagamore began, for another memorable meal. Alternatively, grab your favorite paperback and an Adirondack chair by the hotel or a lounger lakeside.

Your big day might be over, but that doesn’t mean the festivities have to stop. Luckily, The Sagamore Resort has everything needed to stretch out the fun – for both you and your guests. You can while away the afternoon lounging poolside with a cocktail, or test your mettle at tennis, golf, or pickleball. If you haven’t experienced The Morgan yet, take the guided tour of Lake George, and learn about the area’s history. When the weather warms, couples can indulge in hiking, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, and biking along retired railroad tracks that weave through the Adirondacks. In short, you won’t run out of ways to cap off an unforgettable wedding weekend.
