In short: Basin Harbor is the perfect wedding destination, with an exceptional events team who delivered the wedding weekend of our dreams.

We celebrated our wedding at Basin Harbor over Memorial Day Weekend, and calling it perfect feels like an understatement. With our wedding falling on a holiday weekend, we asked our guests to stay on-site for three nights. Our goal was to ensure everyone felt like they were not just attending a wedding, but enjoying a true vacation experience. Anne, Lauren, and the entire events team immediately embraced our vision and helped us bring it to life.

The weekend kicked off with a movie night by the pool, followed by a round-robin pickleball tournament and a scenic sightseeing tour on Lake Champlain the next day. From there, we transitioned into a sunset cruise on The EScape, a flawless rehearsal dinner on The North Dock, and an incredible welcome party at the Burgee Bar. On our wedding day, both wedding parties were treated like royalty in our respective cottages, with lunch provided and every request seamlessly accommodated. The ceremony on the Lodge Lawn, overlooking the breathtaking Basin, was followed by dinner and dancing in Ardelia's. To end the night, we gathered around a campfire at the Red Mill for s'mores under the stars.

A weekend with so many moving parts could have felt overwhelming, but we always felt supported and cared for by Anne, Lauren, and the entire team. No request was too big—even a last-minute change of ceremony location and a spontaneous addition of Aperol Spritzes during cocktail hour were handled with ease. Beyond that, an unexpected family emergency arose the week before the wedding, and Anne and her team worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, allowing us to focus on what mattered most. Their compassion and professionalism during such a delicate time meant the world to us.

The planning process, spanning over a year, was equally seamless. Anne and her team maintained flawless communication, proactively checking in to keep us on track while expertly coordinating with external vendors, including our band and florist.

From the moment we discovered Basin Harbor online, we had a gut feeling it was special. That feeling was solidified the moment we set foot on the property and experienced its natural beauty, endless activities, and warm, dedicated staff. We are forever grateful to the entire Basin Harbor family—the Beaches, Anne, Lauren, the waitstaff, bartenders, chefs, boat crew, housekeepers, and everyone else behind the scenes—for creating such a magical experience.

We cannot wait to return to Basin Harbor, our favorite place, to continue making lifelong memories.

My husband and I were married at Basin this June (2024) and it was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. We lovingly refer to it as the 'best weekend of our lives' and all credit goes to the BH team. From the moment we reached out to the very last goodbye, Anne and Lauren and the entire Basin Harbor staff made us feel like we were family. We set out with a very clear vision in mind where we wanted to welcome all of our friends and family to one place for a truly magical weekend. Dare we say ~dirty dancing~ like. From the rehearsal dinner, to the welcome party on the North Dock, to all the wedding day events (including fireworks!), and an after party in the darling Red Mill, every detail was executed flawlessly. The team made sure the events ran smoothly and all details orchestrated in an effortless manner. This included making us feel comfortable about the rain plan in the event that we had to use it -- something that was a huge relief. We had no shortage of requests for Anne whether it was espresso martinis circulating during cake cutting, to customizing the wine list, to helping managing out external vendors (including multiple rentals), to a post-wedding boat cruise in choppy water, the team went above and beyond to deliver everything we asked for. The best part about the weekend was that our guests were able to take advantage of all Basin Harbor had to offer. We heard during the course of the weekend and now over the last several months since the wedding that it was folks favorite wedding they had been to because the venue really allowed them to create special memories. No stone went unturned and the unique nature of Basin Harbor really shined. We couldn't be more happy that we pulled the trigger and picked Vermont. We can't wait to come back year after year to start our own Basin Harbor tradition.

The entire team was first rate, quick to respond and their help made everything seamless. They offered up wonderful suggestions and literally everything for our wedding went off without a hitch. We did NOT need a wedding planner as they did everything for us! The setting is spectacular and our guests came from around the country and were all taken with the facilities and comfort of the whole experience. The food was delicious, the service was good at every turn, too, from wait staff, the bell staff, and the front desk team. We so appreciated the wedding planning team - what a great crew! We left by boat, too, from the dock at BHC! They accommodated our every wish.

My husband and I just had our wedding at Basin Harbor and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Not only is the venue gorgeous, the team was phenomenal. Lauren and Anne were responsive and helpful throughout the whole process and everyone at the resort was wonderful. Nicest wait staff ever!

We couldn't give Basin Harbor a higher recommendation. It was the wedding of our dreams!

We LOVED getting married at Basin Harbor - BEST decision of our entire wedding planning process. Anne, Lauren, and the entire Basin Harbor staff were incredible to work with and took care of every detail while staying calm throughout the process and fielding my many questions - we couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. We had a wedding planner as well, but honestly, I would have trusted Anne and her team, as they know the place from years of hosting weddings, but still take the time to get to know each couple and facilitate a personal touch. The best thing about BH is that all guests can stay onsite - from the time our guests arrived, people didn't have to think about a car until departure on Monday. We got married Labor Day weekend, and the extra day allowed for maximum lounging, boating, and activities galore. The Red Mill was amazing, food was wonderful, our guests all raved about Basin Harbor for months afterwards and still want to return annually. Thank you for the most magical weekend of our lives, Basin Harbor!

My wedding at Basin Harbor was more spectacular than I ever could have imagined. The location and venue certainly checked all of the boxes, but what truly sets Basin Harbor apart from other resorts is the staff (big shout out to Lauren, Anne, the lodge, kitchen, maid, service and golf course staff who were all terrific). This is a true family first resort, so what better place to start a family at then Basin Harbor?

p.s. no chance our guests could have gotten bored at all over the weekend with endless activities to do from golf, tennis, boating outdoors to bingo, reading in the lodge, and the maritime museum indoors. Many of them chose to extend their visits for several days before or after the wedding weekend.

My husband and I each made three wedding wishes when we decided to have a wedding. All six wishes and ones we hadn’t even dreamt yet came true. Most of it had to do with the venue we chose and the incredible staff we had the honor of working with and celebrating our life event at Basin Harbor.

We brought a big, bright colorful Sikh/Indian wedding with all customs, traditions, food, and music, and BH went above and beyond to accommodate all the details that mattered so much to us. We were a new client profile - they knew it and we knew it and there was nothing but joy in the learning, creating and inventing that was needed to bring this to life.

We also chose BH because we wanted a place that was woven into our history and future chapters we have yet to write. This place will forever feel like home for us, and the team will forever feel like family.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with BH and more grateful for this shared history!!!

I could not be happier with our choice to have our wedding at the Basin Harbor Club. From the very start, Lauren and Anne were so thoughtful in planning every detail, were timely in their responses, and supported us through every step! Planning a wedding is stress invoking, but knowing Lauren and Anne were handling the orchestration made us (and our families) feel at ease. Don't look any further on your venue search - Basin Harbor is it!

We had a 215 person wedding at Basin Harbor and loved it. We worked primarily with Anne and she was great, very knowledgeable, flexible, attentive, and readily available. Jason in the golf shop was very helpful and accommodative in setting up tee times for members of the wedding party. The venue itself is incredible, so many of our guests have complimented it and raves about how much fun they had. There’s really something for everyone at BH. Not to mention the iconic setting at the harbor/lake with views of the Adirondack mountains. Highly recommend.

We knew Basin Harbor was a special place, but after hosting our wedding overlooking Lake Champlain, it is safe to say the resort will continue to be a special place for our family for generations to come! The wedding coordinators (Anne & Lauren) were amazing, organized, responsive and personable throughout the planning process. The wedding planning team provided detailed google docs for every event, which was extremely helpful for us and touched on every thing and more we could have thought of ourselves. From simple decor, set up, tending to guests, ceremony line ups, noting our favorite drinks and more, they handled everything! The day of was a breeze thanks to them and the BHC team! The resort itself is such a unique experience for guests, a true adult summer camp. The best part was being able to walk/golf cart everywhere. The resort did an amazing job of accommodating our various events throughout the wedding weekend and allowed us flexibility with weather and personal touches. We held an outdoor ceremony at the Lodge Lawn, cocktail hour on the North Dock and tented reception on the Homestead Lawn. As the bride and groom we did not have to worry about a single detail on our special day, everything was planned out and handled by the BHC team. We can not say enough great things about BHC and how special this family run resort is to everyone that has the pleasure to visit. We look forward to spending many anniversaries at BHC!
