Key Attributes of Your Ideal Holiday Party Space

Convenient Location

Albany and the surrounding areas are filled with natural beauty and many interesting venues, so you have no reason to send guests through rush hour traffic or into a parking nightmare to arrive at your holiday party. In fact, two of the most prized and diverse event spaces, Birch Hill Estate and Stablegate Farm and Vineyards, are centrally located in this area and provide ample free parking. Nearby attractions, comfortable hotels and easy transportation add to the benefits of choosing a venue in such a prime location.

Satisfies and Surpasses Guests’ Cravings

During the holiday season, people crave magical moments more than ever. And by designing a custom holiday party menu that is as breathtaking as the season, you will create a magical experience. Quality food and flawless service allow guests to soak up the brilliant sights and flavors Albany has to offer.

Guests also want to share and reminisce during the holidays. So talk to your complimentary event coordinator about how you can incorporate traditional ethnic dishes into your personalized menu. This is a great way to reflect on all you and your family have to be grateful for.

The Lodge Holiday Parties

Welcoming Family Atmosphere

Despite a great diversity in event styles and themes, holiday celebrations all share one thing in common: they bring everyone closer together. And there is no better way to make guests comfortable than by creating a family atmosphere. A retreat-like setting such as The Lodge at Stablegate Farm takes guests to another world yet makes them feel right at home. Your holiday party can be an oasis for good cheer and unforgettable memories.

Remember that the guests who fill your event space will have a bigger impact on the vibe than the building itself. We welcome you to meet the team behind the intimate lodge. They bring extra warmth to this architectural gem known for its cathedral-esque vaulted wood ceilings, hardwood flooring and large fossil stone fireplace.

Makes Holiday Party Planning Easy

Give yourself and your guests the thing they need most this season—the gift of time. When we take care of everything from setup to cleanup, your employees won’t have to worry about cooking a potluck dish, and you won’t have to run around trying to find that perfect serving tray.

A top holiday party venue will simplify your décor needs too. Take, for example, the Columbia Ballroom—the cloud-like batiste fabric ceilings, led theming light cannons, “tivoli light windows” and hardened epoxy coffee colored floor with metallic highlights call for little additional decorating. Or for an incredibly elegant atmosphere, you might opt for one of the regal New York holiday party venues like the Conservatory Ballroom with an ensconced ceiling lit by warm chandeliers.
