Ampersand Bay Resort

Ampersand Bay Resort is an all-season resort wedding venue nestled in the village of Saranac Lake, NY. For couples picturing a weekend packed celebration all on one property. Enjoy a secluded retreat to upstate New York and unwind surrounded by sandy beaches, marshland, and gorgeous views of the Adirondack Mountains. The resort is set on the shores of Lower Saranac Lake, ideal for fishing and boating excursions in the summer and cozying up under warm blankets in the fall & winter. During your stay at Ampersand Bay Resort, you'll enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, the perfect backdrop for a romantic celebration. After some final touches and a send-off toast, meet your soon-to-be spouse at your lakeside ceremony spot. Beachy white chairs can be arranged on the sand, fulfilling your dream to walk an aisle of sand and, later, dance barefoot beneath the stars. During the warmer months, receptions can be held on the lawns, which can accommodate multiple wedding tents. You and your guests can also indulge in the resort's various overnight accommodations, including a beautifully designed luxury townhome, a luxury suite, and a cozy private cabin. For a classic rustic atmosphere, their original rustic cottages are equally inviting. Each of their units offers a full kitchen, two or three spacious bedrooms, and access to a porch and outdoor grill. The dedicated team at Ampersand Bay Resort loves to host couples and their loved ones and aims to provide as much support as possible. Their various packages allow you to rent everything you need, including tents, tables, chairs, linens, and speaker systems. You'll even get support with setting up the space and cleaning up upon departure. To make the most of the beautiful natural landscape, they offer many outdoor experiences, from fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding to dogsledding in the winter. If something relaxing is more your style, there's always a long day soaking up the warm sun on their private beach.
