Amazing venue! Absolutely gorgeous!

From the first time we toured the Fort William Henry to meeting Dawn, we knew that was the place we wanted to get married! Dawn and her assistant Natalie were amazing! They went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and exactly what we had planned! They are both kind and friendly, and have an attention for detail. The newly renovated Carriage house is beautiful! It was the perfect location for our wedding. The veiw of Lake George from the property is breath taking!! Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing and beautiful our wedding was. We cannot thank them enough!! Anyone booking their wedding at the FWH will not be disappointed!!

Best day ever

I had the wedding of my dreams at the Fort William Henry and I cannot thank them enough. Dawn and Keilana were the biggest help during the most stressful time!! They kept me on track and knew exactly what I wanted. They made sure I had zero stress the day of and took care of setting up and made sure everything was prepared for all of the vendors. Whenever I had a question one of them made sure to answer right away! I do not know what I would've done without them helping me the entire time. The food was also incredible and the atmosphere was even better. We could not have asked for a better view of Lake George. Even a few weeks after the wedding everyone is still saying how gorgeous it was. Again, I can not thank Dawn and Keilana and the Fort William Henry enough for making our day the best. I highly recommend having your wedding here so that you can have the most amazing day possible!

A day we did not want to end

From the very beginning when we arrived to the wedding day we felt welcomed and that it was our special time. Great job the day of with setting up and dropping off everything for the wedding. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were absolutely amazing. From the food to the service and the environment. Wonderful job!! Thank you.

Dawn and her awesome team at The Fort are all over everything!! If you need any help at all setting up a shot, or need some chairs moved, whatever - someone is right there helping you out. I never feel rushed at The Fort because they know the timeline cold and really stick to it - such a treat as a photographer! Gorgeous views of Lake George don't hurt either! The food is outstanding, and every wedding vendor is treated with great care. I love to shoot at The Fort, and look forward to every wedding there.
