The Queensbury Hotel

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. 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. Overall, I am genuinely happy with how everything turned out!

as delicious, the service was amazing, and working with Stephanie was such a pleasure!!
