Mountain Top Elegance

As a former event planner and venue manager, I was sold on Hunter Mountain from the start. When we were deciding on a venue, I was really only looking for one thing: the right people. And even though the mountain was magical, and the ceremony at the summit was incredibly unique, and the banquet space was gorgeous, and the food was delicious… from the very beginning to the very end Debbie, Tim, Bailey, Dave, and their teams were what made our wedding day so special.

That is not to say that Hunter Mountain isn’t perfect as well. The rooms were enormous, the ski lift before and after the ceremony was so fun, and the reception was everything we had hoped for. We even asked for some unique requests and they accommodated joyfully and creatively. Debbie even offered a few suggestions that became key design elements.

They treated our guests and vendors with utmost respect, communicated clearly, and found several opportunities to go the extra mile in ways we hadn’t even thought to ask for.

In every regard, truly, our wedding was perfect. We couldn’t be happier that we had our wedding at Hunter Mountain.

Debbie, Mother of the Bride

My daughter's wedding on September 4, 2021 was perfect in every way. The weather was picture perfect, and the venue, scenery, staff, etc. were outstanding. First let me tell you that I do not know why there are bad reviews about the Lodge because it was clean, rooms were large and staff was top notch. The bridal suite was absolutely stunning and large enough for all the bridesmaids including getting ready the next day with our hair and make up people. They catered to our every need and were so excited for my daughter's big day. Debbie was great through all the Covid stuff. She kept us informed about restrictions etc. Thank goodness, we made it through with the wedding of my daughter's dreams. Everyone loved the chairlift ride to the top, taking pictures and enjoying every last minute of the ceremony. It was breathtaking. The food was excellent, the Hors d'oeuvres were delicious, especially the bruschetta. The prime rib, chicken cordon bleu and the pasta rollatini were delicious. Everyone raved about the food. Service was good, we had a lot of people at the wedding so they were working extra hard. Josephine kept things moving at the reception as did Sari during the ceremony. At the end of the reception, Josephine had everything boxed up and brought up to the lodge where we collected our things and brought them to our cars. That was a big help. The after party at the firepit behind the lodge was so much fun. We roasted marshmallows and ate the food that was left over from the wedding and cocktail hour. We stayed out there until 4am. Thank you so much Debbie, Josephine, Sari and the entire staff at Hunter Mountain for making my daughter's wedding everything she had hoped for.

Beautiful Misty Wedding

My now husband and I booked Hunter Mountain as our venue in January 2020, before covid-19. Throughout the stressful process of trying to decide to postpone or not Debbie and Josephine were both extremely responsive and helped ease our worries. We ultimately decided to move forward with our May 29th wedding (Memorial Day Weekend). Mother Nature was not in our favor and it was raining all morning and cold. We told Josephine no matter what we wanted to make it up to the summit and she delivered! It was 20 degrees and misting during our ceremony but it was still perfect! All the staff ranging from chair lift operators, to the bartenders were all fantastic. Our guests raved about the food and said it was the best prime rib they have ever had. Josephine, the day of coordinator was FANTASTIC. Any problems that arose (such as our DJ breaking down on his way to the ceremony) were handled by her and he didn't even know there were issues. The day was magical and our guests are raving about going up the chair lift (even though it was freezing) and the beautiful scenery that Hunter Mountain provides. When looking at venues our number one goal was to have somewhere that guests did not need to be transported anywhere. Guests were able to walk from their hotel rooms to the chair lift and the reception started at the bottom of the chair lift. We can't wait to go back for future anniversaries!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
