The Best Wedding Experience

I can’t say enough good things about the staff at Cranmore. I usually am someone who oversees every detail because I like things to be absolutely perfect. I was able to completely let go and let Erin run with my vision. It was above and beyond what I could have even imagined. They put so much work and time into fulfilling my vision.
The food was fantastic! Most times you go to a wedding and the food is forgettable. We had so many people come up to us during and after and comment on how great the food was.
We didn’t have ideal weather on the day of. Erin had a plan B that was really beautiful and was very patient with me while I decided what to do. We opted to do our wedding outside anyway and the staff were so amazing to our guests. Making sure that they were sheltered and stayed warm while they waited. The staff at the reception was outstanding.
If you are considering Cranmore, I would tell you book it without any hesitation. It was the best wedding experience I could have ever hoped for. They made our day so memorable, and that’s irreplaceable.

Perfect venue

My husband and I were married at Cranmore during COVID and we can't thank Paul and the staff at Cranmore enough for all they did for us. Paul was right there with us through all the craziness and all of the planning and re-planning we were forced to do. He did such a nice job helping me stay as stress free as possible. The entire staff made our day run so smoothly and they went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Paul was very responsive to all of our questions and last minute changes. Due to rain, our ceremony had to be changed to inside the restaurant. Although it was not what I had pictured for our mountain wedding, it was perfect. They did such a nice job decorating and making everything so beautiful. We are so happy we were able to have our wedding as planned at Cranmore (with 30 guests due to COVID). We would highly recommend getting married at Cranmore and we can't wait to go back every winter to ski!

Stress Free

I am so very glad I chose to have my wedding at Cranmore Mountain Resort. Paul and Meghan were so helpful and accommodating the entire time. They made everything go smoothly and efficiently. Definitely worth what you pay for. My guests loved the chairlift ride up to the ceremony, and everyone is still commenting on how unique our ceremony was. If you want beautiful photos and views of the mountains and a unique experience for your quests, I highly recommend this venue. When we were worried about how COVID would affect our wedding, Meghan and Paul were very good about communicating with us and helping us so that we could have our wedding no matter what. I’m very grateful.

The perfect day!

My wife and I were married this past fall at Cranmore, and what a wonderful time we had! The view from the top during peak foliage was perfect, as was the event coordination provided by the resort staff! Meghan and Paul did an outstanding job ensuring every detail of our big day was taken care of! They worked with us to ensure that all of our vendors were on the same page, and that everything and everyone was right where they needed to be exactly when they needed to be there. They were willing to work with us and accommodate special menu requests and last minute guest count changes. We have received so many compliments about our wedding from the friends and family in attendance, many of whom pulled us aside to confide that our wedding was the most memorable and beautiful they had ever attended. It is our considered opinion that Cranmore Resort offers a complete and magical experience that is worthy of any couple planning their nuptials. We couldn't have asked for a more helpful and professional experience for our wedding.

My husband and I were married there on September 24, with a summit ceremony and cocktail hour, returning to the base for dinner and the reception. The natural beauty of the mountains region and the view from the top aside, both Meister Hut and Zip's provided the perfect laid back "apres ski" feel that we wanted our wedding to evoke, but even without all that, the staff is what made it everything we could even want.
Our contact is Paul Durfee, and he is everything an events and sales coordinator should be. He is fun, personable, easy to talk to, willing to work with us, and calm and collected. For us, we're chill, but I imagine with weddings being stressful for so many people having such a pillar makes a stressful day all the more relaxing.
Working with Paul, was Meghan Nelson who was always available to answer questions, think to ask us questions about things we never would have thought of, and always made us laugh. She was great. Between Paul and Meghan, planning was an absolute breeze.
When the time came to do our tasting, we met Sabrina and Mike in Zips, and like everyone we had encountered thus far, they were incredible. We chose Cranmore for the venue, not having high expectations for the food at a ski area, but the dishes Mike prepared blew us away. It was so hard to narrow it down to only two selections because they were all excellent. Sabrina was willing to do just about anything for us to make our day perfect, and was a huge help when it came to setting up and preparing the week leading up to the wedding. The two of them are a great couple, and were so fun to have around with the week and day of the wedding.
So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd attended and had a great time! The venue was a complete hit for the feel we wanted for our wedding.

Hidden gem!

Stumbled across this venue through wedding wire and couldn't of been happier to have! The team members at Cranmore, most importantly Paul, were very helpful and accommodating with all of our wedding needs. My husband and I had visited the area a couple times before our wedding and everytime Paul was there to greet us and help us through our journey, including answering all of our endless questions! (Thank you). Cranmore mountain resort is a beautiful and scenic place to get married. The amount of compliments we get while looking back at our wedding photos from friends and family about how beautiful the view is is crazy. I would totally recommend Cranmore to any couple looking for a great place to get married and with an awesome price. Not to mention, they have so many activities to do on site. We can't wait to come back next year and enjoy the ropes course and revisit where we said our vows. Huge thank you to Paul and Suzie and all the amazing team members there at Cranmore that made our wedding and stay in North Conway unforgettable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
