As a full-service wedding venue in Saranac Lake, NY, Hotel Saranac offers everything you need for an entire wedding weekend, all under one historic roof.
A Century of Celebration
Since opening at the height of the Roaring Twenties, Hotel Saranac has remained the Village of Saranac Lake's iconic gathering place. Exchange vows in the historic Great Hall, where hand-carved beams and vintage-inspired chandeliers, designed after a 14th-century Italian castle, have witnessed a hundred years of stories, or say your vows outdoors on our North Terrace, framed by the open Adirondack air. Inside, dark wood furniture and fully-restored beamed ceilings carry that same historic character throughout the hotel, so your big day feels timeless regardless of the weather.
Your Reception, Elevated
Celebrate in the Grand Ballroom, Hotel Saranac's dedicated wedding venue, accommodating 30 to 180 guests. Our culinary team crafts every detail of your reception, from plated dinners to hands-on carving stations, while handcrafted signature cocktails add a personal touch to your celebration. For photos as unforgettable as your vows, take your wedding party to our rooftop, where the Adirondack mountains and lake unfold behind you, and our historic Hotel Saranac sign frames every shot.
