Colonie Elks in Latham, NY - Affordable Wedding VenueAffordable Wedding Hall Review – Colonie Elks in Latham, NY
If you are a bride or groom to be and interested in saving a little on your hall but still want an elegant layout with outdoor ceremony potential, you might want to check out the Colonie Elks Club over in Latham, NY.
The Colonie Elks of Latham, NY is pretty much in the middle of everything. It is conveniently located ten minutes or so from Troy, ten minutes from downtown Albany, ten minutes from Albany airport, and not too far away from Schenectady and Clifton Park; maybe 15 minutes or so.
The Colonie Elks Club has a large outdoor space for your wedding ceremony. If an outdoor ceremony is important to you, I think it is safe to argue that will enjoy the ceremony site on hand; complete with a nice white gazebo and lots of shrubbery / greenery to boot. There is also a large pavilion available for outdoor activities / functions.
From my experience, the food is pretty good. Last Saturday, I was the wedding DJ there. The hall was offering their guests a choice of a stuffed chicken or prime rib. I had the beefy prime rib, and it was great!
They also have a separate bar for your cocktail hour and a disco ball set up with both white and red lights!
The Colonie Elks is a great medium-end venue option for a wedding that really gets the job done, in the end. It is an affordable avenue made possible without cutting any major corners. For my reviewing purposes, I would have to rate it 8 out of ten stars, in looking at the big picture, maybe only subtracting a tiny bit on not having lightning quick service on the actual entree. While the Elks may not have a huge waiting staff like maybe a Mallozzi’s catering venue, I am sure you will end up saving a lot of money because of this in the long run.
If you are now planning on having your wedding in this area, the Colonie Elks is definitely worth looking into.

WEDDING DJ TIP – Clothesline Hanging Wedding Table Place Cards
As the DJ, I have seen some really great table place card ideas, of late. “Hanging Table Place Cards” is a fun, new, affordable twist for wedding decorating and, at the same time, helps your guests to their tables in a fun manner.
This is an easy do-it-youself decoration for your wedding and can really add a lot of character to your special night.
The premise of the hanging place card is simple; lines tied between points with all of your loved ones names hanging from the line… period. Whatever you do to apply this loose concept is entirely up to you. Here are some tips or ideas to help you out.
WEDDING GUEST TAGS / CARDS – Hand write or have cards or tags printed with all your guests names and where you would like them to sit.
THE “CLOTHESLINE” – Fishing line, twine, ribbon, clothesline and various strings can all be used to clip to, according to the taste or theme of the wedding that you are looking to achieve.
A PICTURE FRAME – You will need some kind of posts to clip your place cards to. An antique picture frame is a nifty idea! Or you could make some kind of custom posts.
CUSTOM-PICKED CLIPS – Also, your choice of clips can really bring some fun to the table as well. A rustic wedding or one with a country theme may look perfect with old-fashion clothespins. A modern wedding, however, may look great with silver or bronze clips, according to the colors of your wedding.
Be creative and have fun with this. Like any good wedding, there are no rules and the ideas are endless. Here are a number of hanging place card pictures you can use as a resource for your very own hanging wedding table place cards.

Over the weekend, I was DJ’ing at a fun Altamont Orchard wedding, in Altamont NY. There I saw yet another place card idea that I haven’t seen before and decided to share it with you.
Here is a great little idea for your fall wedding. How about using Fall Theme Wedding Table Place Cards for your special day?
All you do is take tree branches with lots of arms, poke them down into flower pots, punch a hole in your place cards and tie them to the branches with ribbons!
REAL OR FAKE? A classic question for brides and grooms, everywhere… I think I prefer real. I’m sure you could use artificial trees, as they look really nice, but they may not be as good as the real thing. Also, a nice idea may be to take real saplings and plant them after your wedding reception. That way you will have a commemoration tree (or trees) to enjoy for years to come, remembering the special day.
This wedding place card tree idea is a great idea, particularly for weddings in the Fall. Enjoy!
Buckets are labeled with the first letters of gach guests’ names.
Guests Have fun finding and pulling leaves off trees.

Wedding Place Card Trees can be a great addition to your dedding decorations.
