Lake Bomoseen Lodge

I genuinely can't imagine getting married anywhere but Lake Bomoseen Lodge (and now I never have to!). We had a wonderful 120 person wedding in August 2025, and Rebecca, Erin, and the whole LBL team were incredible. Our goal was to have our friends and family stay onsite and enjoy the lake and quality time together, and this was the perfect venue for that. About 100 folks were able to stay on site, and everyone enjoyed having time to relax, swim, boat, and not have to leave at all once they got there. Between a welcome dinner, wedding day, and farewell brunch, all the food and drinks were incredible. The after party mac and cheese bar was a huge hit. We were able to have the welcome dinner and cocktail hour outside, and the weather and tent were perfect. The hillside made for an absolutely gorgeous ceremony backdrop, and the sunsets will stay with us forever. I am so glad we didn't need to hire out any furniture, flatware, utensils, or any other small things that we didn't want to spend any mental energy on. The staff went above and beyond to help us set up (and added some cute decor they had after checking with us!), takedown, and work with our vendors so we could enjoy all of the events. We can't thank the LBL team enough for how easy they made the whole process, and can't wait to be back for hundreds of more trips to come :).

I don’t even have the words to fully express how exceptional our experience was at Lake Bomoseen Lodge. We got married there in April 2025, and everything about the weekend was perfect.

From the moment we arrived on Friday afternoon, our incredible coordinator, Rebecca, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless. We kicked off the celebration with a welcome event featuring champagne and delicious bites, and Saturday—the big day—was nothing short of magical.

Rebecca was by our side from the moment we pulled in, ensuring everything ran seamlessly and that both our guests and wedding party felt cared for and celebrated. We didn’t have to lift a finger. The team set up our entire reception exactly as envisioned, simply using photos and instructions, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the amazing service.

The food and drinks were phenomenal, and the atmosphere—set against the backdrop of the lake—was truly unforgettable. My husband and I stayed an extra night after the wedding to soak it all in, stargazing by the lake and savoring every last moment. I’ll admit I shed a tear as we passed the Lake Bomoseen Lodge sign one final time.

Over the course of 1.5 years of planning, Rebecca was a constant source of support—always kind, organized, and generous with her time. Even across the ocean, she offered Zoom calls from Vermont to Germany and brought a calming presence to the entire process. We miss chatting with her regularly and can’t wait to return for anniversaries in the years to come.

We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception here. It was the best decision we made! They handled everything and every detail for us. We had nothing to worry about on our day and we were able to just focus on each other. Truly remarkable and professional staff.

We got married at Lake Bomoseen in November 2024 and had the best experience! Our coordinator, Angela was amazing and very responsive to any questions we had. If there were any issues on the wedding day, we didn't know about them because they were handled on the backend without having to get us involved. All of our guests loved the venue and many said they would be back just for a vacation. This place is incredible!

We were so happy with how beautiful the lodge was on our wedding day. Our guests loved the scenery and the food especially. The coordinators the lodge provides helped so much with every detail and they seem to be a well-oiled machine that’s prepared for everything. Rebecca was our coordinator and she was so nice and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend!

If we could rate LBL 10 stars, we would!! We are two brides who booked our wedding date with LBL about 2 years ago, and we just had our big day with them in August 2024 (~70 guests). We initially fell in love with the gorgeous views and ability to accommodate so many of our guests onsite, but over the past two years, LBL has taken up a special place in our hearts. Our wedding coordinator Rebecca was with us every step of the way, from answering our random 'details' emails to chatting it up at the tasting, even to fluffing our dresses before our walk down the aisle. She made the entire wedding planning process feel like a breeze, and we are so bummed that our time working with her is over! The entire staff and crew during our wedding weekend- Xani, Hannah, Evan, just to name a few!- were just the kindest people, and genuinely seemed excited for us and wanted the day to go smoothly for us. LBL was all about the little details- from handing us celebratory glasses of champagne after our ceremony to writing an adorable sign for our tiki boat ride (and yes, they have a freaking TIKI BOAT that you can book!!). They went out of their way to make us feel special, even when they were fully booked with weddings the day before and after us. But don't you worry- they have all the big stuff covered, too! Room blocks, rehearsal dinner, setting up decor, transitions between the hillside and cocktail hour and reception; all of it went off without a hitch! And the FOOD!!! Y'all, the food cannot be understated. Everything was truly so delicious; on our recommendation, we had about 50 guests order prime rib and all of them were so impressed/said it was the best wedding meal they'd ever had. The bacon-wrapped scallops at cocktail hour, the signature cocktails, and the after party nachos, are all legendary right now in our group chats. Stepping back again, we cannot say enough how well taken care of we were by the LBL crew. As a lesbian couple, we toured several other venues that made us feel uncomfortable, or that we didn't feel would fully celebrate us. LBL never once made us feel that way, and truly gave us the best bridal experience we could have. Both of our families stayed the full week and we are all already thinking of booking again next year just for a family vacation! The rooms/options (especially pet-friendly ones), amenities (pool, lake, kayaks, etc.), and price fit our needs perfectly. After the wedding, the word that all of us used to describe it was "magical." We had a truly magical wedding weekend, and it was all thanks to LBL! If you are looking for a venue that won't treat you like a number, somewhere that provides stunning onsite lodging and the most incredible food, gorgeous ceremony and reception locations, and the best staff in the world, look no further than Lake Bomoseen Lodge! All our love, The Burkes

The lodge did a great job with all guests and arrangements. I was very impressed with all the staff, and Rebeca was a great resource and was a pleasure to deal with on wedding day.
thanks

As a photographer, this was a beautiful venue to work at! Grounds are big for different backdrops and the scenery is amazing, especially a sunset. very helpful staff as well.

We had an incredible experience having our wedding at Lake Bomoseen Lodge in June 2023 (we are very late posting this!). We had been looking for a venue that would enable us to get married surrounded by nature, which would offer our friends and family a retreat where we could build community over the course of a weekend, and that would be affordable and flexible, and we found all of this at Lake Bomoseen Lodge.

First of all, the location is absolutely gorgeous, we had hoped to have our ceremony on the island but the weather turned out to be too uncertain on the day so we did it on the hilltop instead and it was still stunning. Because of the weather uncertainty, we had to make a very last minute call as to where our ceremony and cocktail hour would be, and Rebecca and the whole staff were super flexible and communicative in figuring that out.

Rebeca was also super flexible and communicative in the whole planning process. They didn't force any packages on us, let us pick and choose what we wanted to include, really didn't enforce any minimums, and even let us cut a few meals after the deadline because of a handful of last minute cancellations. They clearly were used to working with couples on a budget and were surprisingly accommodating to that reality compared to every other venue we spoke to throughout our search.

I also have to admit that I'm detail oriented to a fault and had tons of asks of Rebecca and the staff leading up to and throughout the weekend, and they accommodated all of them. On top of more typical wedding stuff I had a couple of surprises for my husband throughout the weekend, including a gift delivered to his get ready room and a surprise confetti moment on the dance floor, and Rebecca and team helped me execute all of it in addition to the one million other more standard wedding things they were dealing with.

I also have to say we were pleasantly surprised by the food. We went to one of their tasting weekends and thought the food was fine but it didn't blow us away; we were okay with that because we expected to have to compromise on something given our budget constraints. The beauty of the location and level of the support from the staff seemed well worth it to compromise a bit on food. But then the food at our actual wedding was fantastic, way better than the tasting. Our guests kept commenting on how good it was too.

Finally, I have to mention that we really wanted to have a private experience and feel like we had the place to ourselves, which is a big reason we didn't consider any of the big resorts in the area (in addition to their cost). We were a bit concerned at first about the fact that Lake Bomoseen does multiple weddings a weekend, we didn't want to feel like our wedding was constantly running into others. But the Lake Bomoseen staff really coordinated everything beautifully and made sure that didn't happen, and I think we got a feeling of the place being extra private because we had a Sunday wedding and by Sunday morning all the guests from other weddings had checked out. On our actual wedding day we truly had the run of the place and every single room was booked with our guests.

At the end of the day, we didn't wind up having to compromise on anything at all and truly had our dream wedding at Lake Bomoseen Lodge.

Lake Bomoseen Lodge was the perfect place to have our wedding. Our coordinator, Angela, is an all star and was extremely responsive to changes in the schedule, rooms shuffles, location changes due to weather; she never missed a beat. She was kind and thorough in our communications and communications with our other vendors, we couldn’t have had a better coordinator.
The cocktails were smooth and well balanced, the beer selection was the best of Vermont, and our bartender for the weekend was kind and attentive.
The hors d’oeurves and main meals were great, the salmon and the little arancini balls were our favorites.
Lastly, the scenery was beautiful: over the lake, the sunsets, the old trees along the lake, the secluded hilltop ceremony site. The trees made a nice shady spot so no one was baking in the summer sun during our lakeside ceremony. We had a thunderstorm move the welcome reception the night before from under the tent to inside, but we lucked out on the day of the wedding with a beautiful sunny day.
We couldn’t recommend Lake Bomoseen Lodge enough.
