About this venue

The Edison Downtown is a brand new wedding and event venue in downtown Schenectady and established in 2021. The venue is exclusively catered and owned by Seasons Catering where they are excited to begin hosting events. This venue holds the history from when Thomas Edison came to Schenectady to start up Edison Machine Works and when he combined it into the Edison General Electric company in 1889. After - the building transformed into the Schenectady Gazette headquarters. In our renovations - we have kept the history and charm of the building with the original printing press from 1894 and our exposed brick interior.

    Weddings can be incredibly stressful and sometimes not go as you planned, but I can guarantee The Edison Downtown staff will make your special day the best wedding or event you’ve ever had. Jena, our wedding coordinator and Bylinda, the owner, truly went above and beyond any of my expectations for my wedding day. The attention to care to not only myself but all family members and party members was impeccable. The organization and leadership day of from Jena highly attributes to the perfection and smoothness of our wedding. She was there late the night before and there bright and early the day of to make sure everything we wanted was done correctly and done timely. She made sure to keep to our schedule and even if there were any bumps in our timeline, she handed it for us. She paid incredible attention to detail to both our wedding and after party, as we had a completely different themed event also at the venue slightly after our wedding ended. I’m sure this made it more difficult than usual for the staff, but Jena handled the organization of all of our decor and organization of the staff and people involved like a seasoned professional. The food from Season’s Catering was divine and some of the best food we can recall having at a wedding or other event in a very, very long time. Our guests cannot stop talking about how absolutely delicious all of the food was, how gorgeous and unique the venue was, and how it was one of the best weddings they have attended. From the bartender to the servers, everyone was so sweet and seemed so excited to be working our wedding day. I didn’t know exactly what to expect planning my first wedding, but was so thankful for having Bylinda and having Jena from the venue to handle everything. Any event at The Edison Downtown is worth every penny. We cannot thank everyone enough for all of the effort they put into our special day.

    Food allergy guests beware!!!! After multiple emails and meetings about my wedding and in person discussions regarding my severe food allergies the owner brought me a charcuterie board COVERED in sesame crackers to the bridal suite (which I am severely allergic to) She then proceeded to take the crackers off the tray when I reminded her I was allergic. I then had to remind her what cross contamination was and that the whole charcuterie board had to go. Then the few of my guests who had gluten allergies received their meals with gravy (containing gluten) all over their plates, even though I was required to put each guests food order and allergy on their name card. When they confronted the manager about the issue with their plate they were told “don’t worry there’s no dairy” basically confirming to the guests they had no clue what gluten meant leaving the guests so uneasy they refused to eat their meal out of fear of an allergic reaction. Gorgeous venue but NOT reliable from a food stand point in regard to food allergies.
