Our Story:
Attending a small school in Boston, both as science majors, it was no surprise that their paths crossed. James and Logan slowly started spending more time together studying for classes and getting their daily coffee fix. After many casual ‘dates,’ James asked Logan on their first official date to his favorite place in the city, the Boston Public Library.
That stroll through the Public Library turned into a few moves, the addition of a yellow lab puppy, Bode, and growing together. Six years after that first date, they were packing up for their 3rd annual Labor Day celebration in Saratoga with family and friends, when James hooked a ring onto Bode’s leash and convinced Logan to take a walk with him before hopping in the car.
Although they never left Boston after graduating, Saratoga always held a special place in their hearts. They thought choosing a venue in Saratoga would be a bit more difficult, until they met Danielle and the team at Saratoga National. The planning began for October 19, 2018.
10.19.18 was the perfect theme of rustic elegance; they were able to tie in family heirlooms and special touches that made the day feel personal. Logan and James are so grateful to their vendors, family and friends that traveled near and far to celebrate their special day.

special touches... For our table runners we sewed together old lace tablecloths that were Logan's grandmother and great grandmother's. A family friend welded old horseshoes together for our table numbers. Logan's sister, Tyler, designed the
wedding programs, menus, etc. We had a generation table with loved ones who have passed, and those in our family who have strong relationships we look up to.
advice to pass along... Planning a wedding is a fun, exciting time, but it can be overwhelming too! - Always stay true to your relationship, wedding vision and remember the reason you are doing all this planning.
Our Story:
Nick and I went to elementary school together, but it wasn’t until we were put in the same eighth grade English class that we started to like each other. My childhood home was next to the YMCA, so Nick would ride his bike over, and we would meet there. Years later in our senior year of high school, we started dating. We talked about getting married, and the future - but we were so young that it seemed like a lifetime away. When college came, we decided that if our relationship was meant to be, we would get back together in the future. Four years of undergrad and months later, we went out with some friends as a group, reconnected and the rest was history. We started dating (again) as adults (ha!), moved up to Saratoga together, and five years later we got engaged!
When it came time to pick the venue, we knew we wanted to get married somewhere in Saratoga or Lake George. So, we started researching, and Nick stumbled on the Inn at Erlowest. We laughed when we realized how close it was to my family camp on the lake, drove by the sign a million times, and never knew what a hidden gem it was. However, it ended up being exactly what we pictured. Our wedding day turned out to be a beautiful sunny September day! I got to marry the love of my life, with all our favorite people - at a place we love!
