Keith and Lori’s Wedding

There are no words to express how beautiful and magical our wedding and this venue is. You must experience it for yourself. Our wedding planners were fun, relaxed and had it all under control. We just enjoyed our magical day! Mohonk Mountain House has something for everyone and the service is outstanding. You will not regret going!

We had an amazing experience with having Mohonk Mountain House as our wedding venue. We were surprised at the value of having a wedding there. We had a garden ceremony - mountain side, cocktail hour on the balcony and reception in the pavilion in August 2017. The pavilion was so beautiful at night and they even accommodated us wanting a sparkler send off at the end of the night. I have not enough good things to say about our coordinator, aimee. She is a take charge, organized, CALM and supportive planner- the perfect person you have to have by your side on your big day!! I was so nervous about the weather, but she never swayed from keeping me calm and continued to have faith the rain would hold out - which is did!! And then when it did rain it was during the reception so it sounded beautiful in the pavilion, magical even! Then she provided umbrellas and carts for everyone when they left, but it winded up stopping before the majority left. The food was also amazing! Our cake was perfect - we did a lemon and blueberry mix nice for the summer, recommended by one of the wedding coordinators. We are also so happy to have a venue we can go back to for our anniversary!

My husband and I got married at Mohonk on September 30, 2017 and we do not have enough great things to say about it! We had a small wedding (56 people) and it was great that they were able to hold such a small wedding. Many other venues require a specific number of guests, and if you don't have that number, they charge you for it anyway. NOT MOHONK! Everyone loved our wedding; the views are amazing, the food is excellent. We were planning to have it outside but the weather wasn't that great, so we switched it to inside 2 hours prior to the ceremony and the staff (Aimee Ciarimboli) was SO accommodating and understanding (and trust us, it was JUST as beautiful inside!) Aimee took the stress out of wedding planning. For every email I wrote her, she responded back and had a solution to every question or issue I could think of. She does not cut corners. She has everything covered and really makes you feel like you can relax and she has everything under control, cause she does ! Everyone also commented on how nice and accommodating the servers were at our wedding- we personally think this is a very important factor in choosing a wedding venue... the servers literally catered to all of my vegetarian in-law's needs, and made sure they were served all the vegetarian hors d'oeuvres they wanted. They really made it a special day for us and made us feel so important. The best part of getting married at Mohonk is that it is not like it's just a catering hall where you are treated as just another customer; and you can go back every year to celebrate your anniversary! It was a wonderful wedding, and we owe it all to Aimee and the rest of the staff at Mohonk. THANK YOU!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Mohonk Mountain House on Memorial Day weekend 2016 and we can’t gush about it enough. It was magical; the Mohonk staff went way above-and-beyond to make our wedding vision come true and everything blew my expectations when it came together.

After months of searching, we tried Mohonk at my husband’s suggestion and immediately fell in love. We worked with Mohonk wedding coordinator Aimee Ciarimboli and after many, many emails and calls over almost one year, I can say without reservations that she is a consummate professional, a problem-solver, creative thinker, and detailed-oriented, attentive, and a stalwart advocate for us. She makes things happen; when we wanted to decorate the railing around the rink, we brainstormed a solution. We worked together to find bands that would meet the sound restrictions and still have a hopping dance floor. She is responsive and a planner; her careful planning helped the day go smoothly. On the day of, she regularly checked in and took care of us and our family like her own. She effectively communicated and there were no surprises the day of. She accommodated our work schedule to meet us and be available by phone after hours. Being a long-time member of the weddings department, she knew the Mohonk inside out and had tips for us on every detail. Having spoken to a few wedding planners before coming to Mohonk, we could easily tell the difference. She takes ownership. And she is also a very cool and fun person and shared our joy on our special day.

We could not be more grateful to Aimee and the entire Mohonk staff for blowing away our expectations for a dream wedding weekend. I recommend Mohonk without reservation for a wedding.

Our Mohonk Mountain House wedding consultant was Christina. She guided us through the entire process, from ceremony through reception. Her calm support was essential to our planning process, and on the wedding day she was there for our daughter and the entire wedding party/guests. Mohonk is a gorgeous site for a wedding. The ceremony was held outside by the flower gardens. The cocktail hour was on the porch parlor overlooking the lake. The reception was in the West Dining Room. Food and drink at the cocktail hour and reception were excellent. We had a buffet for the reception, and it worked perfectly, with ample choices for our guests. People raved about the setting, the food, the service from all the Mohonk staff. We highly recommend Mohonk Mountain House and their staff.

Our wedding at Mohonk was just perfect! Aimee was our coordinator and she did an exceptional job! Once the wedding started, we did not have to worry about anything, everything was taken care of. The wedding went smooth, just like planned.
During planning process Aimee was very accommodating and executed everything we asked for. During the initial stage of the planning it took a bit to get a response back (they seem very busy over there) but once the wedding was getting closer, it took less time to get a response. And right before the wedding, Aimee was always available.
Every detail during the wedding was thought through. After the wedding, Mohonk gave us a memorable gift that will keep bringing sweet memories of our time at Mohonk. It was an excellent experience. We loved it and could not ask for a better venue!

We loved having our reception at Mohonk Mountain House. Aimee was absolutely wonderful in assisting us and making our wedding day as smooth and effortless as possible. She and her team were kind, patient and answered all of our many questions. They took care of decorating our reception house, which was a task I did not want to do. They made the room into exactly what we wanted - a warm, genuine, welcoming place to celebrate with our friends and family. The wait staff was genuinely kind and did an excellent job of being always available but never intruding. Our captain steward, Steven, was magnificent and put both us of at complete ease and comfort. Aimee went above and beyond in our eyes in the pre-day planning and meetings. She took two hours with us and our photographer to walk the grounds and find our "photo spots." She met regularly with both us and my parents to answer questions and assist us. She, and the entire Mohonk staff, made our event breathtaking and magical and we will be always grateful.

My wedding at Mohonk this past September was an absolute fairytale. From the picturesque scenery, complete with a victorian castle resort nestled in the mountains...to the wonderful staff who made sure that everything was perfect for my special weekend...I could not have dreamed that my wedding could have been as magical as it was. Christina Latvatalo, Mohonk's wedding coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with and very accommodating. My family spent the entire weekend at Mohonk. We enjoyed lunch on Friday before the rehearsal which took place in the gardens. Our rehearsal dinner hosted by my in-laws took place at the Guilded Otter (wonderful upstairs area), and afterwards had a Meet and Greet with guests in the bar area. The wedding day itself was spectacular. Guests have told me that mine was the best wedding they have ever attended. We had an outdoor ceremony in the gardens. My bridesmaids and I got ready in the bridal suite which we had use of all day to store our belongings, and we arrived via horse and carriage to the ceremony. I truly felt like a princess. The cocktail hour was on the covered porch with beautiful views of Mohonk Lake. It was truly breathtaking. My band supplied a piantist to play music during this time. It was very classy and old-world feeling. The reception took place in the West Dining Hall which has panoramic mountain views. The reception is 3 hours instead of 4 like most venues, which they tell you up front. Some of my wedding guests who werent spending the night at Mohonk actually hiked up the mountain after the wedding before the after-party on Sat evening in carriage lounge and later Lake Lounge where a live band happened to be playing. Some then headed to the Hilton where we had a room block. On Sunday, my fam hiked up to Skytop and the views were just spectacular. We then enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch (bbq at The Granary) which I would highly recommend and also went canoeing (even Grandma!). Mohonk is pure magic.

When my husband and I got engaged, we knew right away that The Mohonk Mountain House was where we wanted to get married. We had visited on a previous trip to NY, and fell in love with its whimsical nature, and all it had to offer. The Mohonk is beyond amazing: it’s like a fairytale come true right off the pages of some old story book! It is quite frankly an unbelievable location. Everyone who ventures there just can’t believe a place like this truly exists! However we figured it would be too expensive for us. But then we found out about the small wedding package and were head over heels that our dream might come true! I called up the weddings department, spoke with Amy Ciarimboli, and decided it was a done deal! We booked the venue and never looked back! Over the course of the year that we took to plan everything from 1,800 miles away; Aimee was amazing in helping to guide and plan every detail! She was friendly, on the ball, and more than accommodating! When our special day came: everything went off without a hitch! The Mohonk had it all set up for smooth sailing down to the last detail. It was truly our fairy tale come true! Between the people, the ambiance, the scenery, the activities, and the hotel it’s self: it’s was a complete success beyond my wildest dreams! I never imagined I’d be able to afford getting married in such luxurious style, but the Mohonk made sure that our special day was absolutely unforgettable. I will be forever thankful to Aimee, Christina, and the entire Mohonk staff and venue for making this ordinary girl’s wedding so very magical! My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more romantic wedding. People are still talking about how wonderful it was! Some say it was the best wedding they've ever attended! For my husband and I and our families: it was a day of beauty that we will never forget!!

There is nothing like the Mohonk Mt. House ... if you have not seen it personally, be sure to visit. A unique, historic site, and their staff are truly outstanding. They really set the bar high when it comes to "customer service."
