Our Wedding

Marianna and Conor met the modern way... though social media back in the summer of 2015. We were both heading into the fall semester at SUNY Delhi and had a few classes together, we talked almost every day during the summer and were insperatible since the first day of classes! a few months later, it was OFFICAL!! After doing a long distance relationship for a year and a half year, Marianna finally made the move from Long Island to Upstate New York. Living in an apartment together in Saratoga Springs had been the best decision ever. What a wonderful journey it has been so far! :) We are so looking forward to starting this new chapter together, and can’t wait to celebrate with all of our favorite people. See you all soon!

Our Story

The Canfield Casino is one of Saratogas most talked about landmarks. The Casino, originally dubbed the Saratoga Club House, was built by John Morrissey as part of Congress Hall, which was a large resort hotel that contributed to giving Saratoga Springs its fame as the Spa City. canfield casino Morrissey, a well known professional boxer and member of Boss Tweeds Tammany Hall network, first came to Saratoga in 1861 and ran a gaming house downtown. He knew there was more money to be made, so Morrissey invested his own money in building what is now known as the Canfield Casino. Upon opening the Club House, Morrissey had only 3 rules - no ladies allowed, cash only, no locals. These rules allowed the club to take on exclusivity that made it one of the worlds most renowned gambling houses. Not even the wealthiest could get Morrissey to bend the rules, which kept his Saratoga Club House open even when gambling was illegal for Saratoga residents. A few years after Morrisseys death, Richard Canfield took a partnership in the gambling establishment. Richard Canfield bought the venue in 1884 for a quarter of a million dollars and invested heavily in the building and the surrounding park to make the Club House even more appealing to affluent visitors from around the world. In its heyday, frequent visitors to the casino included wealthy members of the Whitney and Vanderbilt families, famous gamblers like Diamond Jim Brady and John Gates as well as a host of top-notch entertainers. This era of high-stakes gambling ended in 1907 when local reformers were finally successful in banning gambling in the city of Saratoga Springs. Canfield sold the casino to the village a few years later for less than he paid for it.
