• OUR STORY •
Nick and I met at Syracuse University in January 2017, his junior year, my sophomore year. We started dating six months later and have been together ever since. Our post-grad journey was a test of distance. Nick moved to North Carolina, while I moved to NYC a year later. Next, Nick relocated to Stamford, CT, and during COVID, I temporarily moved back with my parents. Finally, in 2021, we landed in the same city, moving in together in NYC a year later in 2022.
On July 4th weekend in 2024, Nick completely surprised me and proposed during what was supposed just be a picnic in Central Park. The excitement continued the next weekend at a friend’s wedding in St. Barths. Bad weather rerouted our flight home prompting me to call my mom: "Should I fly to Albany instead of back to NYC to look at wedding venues?" Since the airline covered the reroute, I took the leap. I had my heart set on Saratoga from before even getting engaged. Nick grew up there, his extended family was mainly in Vermont, and mine was in NJ/PA, while our friends were mostly in NYC.
Beyond being the perfect middle ground, we wanted our guests to enjoy their time outside of wedding events, and Saratoga offers dining, shopping, and charm for our guests to enjoy all weekend. So, we changed our flights, and two weeks after our engagement, we toured Saratoga National Golf Club and fell in love immediately. They had only two Saturdays left for Fall 2025, and we snagged one immediately. Our wedding was the best night of our lives: a crisp fall day with peak foliage, our incredible friends & family, a filled dance floor, and flawless execution by Mazzone Hospitality and our amazing vendors.

• ADVICE TO PASS ALONG •
At the reception, step back to the perimeter of the room for a moment with your partner to watch everyone celebrating and truly take in the love. The days following the wedding, write down every memory you have from the weekend — big or small. Details fadequickly, but having them on paper (or a digital note) lets you relive your best day forever.
