October Adirondack Wedding
The Adirondacks are our home away from home. We drive up to the area at least once a season, and we knew that we'd have an Adirondack wedding before we even got engaged.
Garnet Hill first came to our attention as one of the best cross country skiing spots in NY state, and we visited the lodge for a few winters in a row. In addition to the expansive network of trails, we enjoyed the great food and cozy evenings by the fire in the Log House. We knew the views were stunning and the staff were always kind and helpful. But once we got engaged and actually started reaching out to potential venues, Garnet Hill quickly established itself as the frontrunner.
Of all the places we spoke to - or were actually able to get in touch with - Nicole at GHL was by far the warmest and most responsive. She was an excellent guide through our planning journey, checking in, answering our (many many) questions, and letting us know if we were ahead of the game or needed to catch up in certain areas. Nicole was well-organized and took notes every time we spoke, helping us to gradually craft a Wedding Weekend timeline and Wedding Day timeline that kept us all on track. Nicole and the rest of the Garnet Hill team were also flexible with our special requests for beverages and food, seamlessly accommodating allergies and a variety of diets.
The whole weekend was perfect. While there was naturally some stress getting 70 guests up to the Adirondacks for a fall wedding without the help of a planner, there was never a hiccup that Nicole and team didn’t help us navigate quickly and without drama. It was awesome to have the whole lodge to ourselves, and hanging out with our loved ones by the fire the night before the Big Day put us in a lovely headspace.
On the morning of, Nicole and her team worked with our vendors and set up all of the decor we brought, understanding our vision and making sure everything looked fabulous. That made it easy for us to focus on getting ready, taking photos, and, you know, getting married! I work in events myself, and knew I’d have a tough time letting go of the day-of execution, but the Garnet Hill staff made our Wedding Day stress free. Many of our guests raved that our wedding was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to.
Garnet Hill Lodge and its staff showcase the beauty and hospitality of the Adirondacks spectacularly. We were so thankful we could share this special place with our friends and family.
