Yaddo Gardens, Saratoga Springs

Small. Did my engagement photos here they came out great it is beautiful.

DO NOT BOOK A WEDDING AT YADDO. If you have an upcoming wedding, even with a legally binding contract, you are not safe!!! They double booked my wedding with ANOTHER wedding for Saturday, and they took my spot that i reserved last year!! My entire family including us, my elderly grandparents and 7 week old son, family that traveled from England and Texas, got RAINED on, as the other wedding ALSO contracted for the same time was in MY spot. We had to hide in the woods and have our wedding in the rain while we watched the other wedding in OUR spot!!! I didnt get to walk down the aisle or listen to our song!! After the ceremonies as we were leaving, we got to walk by them all nice and dry taking wedding photos while we were soaked and there was no point in us taking pictures anymore, we all looked awful! The other groom was pissed for us as well, as his wedding was contracted 3-5, he was told we were 1-3, and i just called to speak to anne-marie pratt, who tells me he was booked 1-3. She is blaming the other bride and groom suggesting they lied to us and ruined our wedding. She accepts no responsibility and thinks apologies can fix the nearly $12,000 disaster she left us with by double booking. I finally had to call her while shaking and trying to stay calm as she never responded to my emails! She never even offered back the $250 I paid to reserve my spot. I'm having my attorney help us sort this out. Apparently offering compensation after such a horrible mistake isn't something Yaddo believes in. Its a beautiful place for sure, which is why we chose it when we had so many other options. Thanks a lot Anne-Marie Pratt. Glad the other bride got to have the wedding of my dreams that I booked and paid for ages before her. Nice that she has offered no solution either.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit especially when the Roses are in full bloom.

While the grounds are beautiful, do NOT go there in April. All of the statues are boarded up, and the paths are not well kept. Major disappointment - also a lot smaller than anticipated.
