We got married at Saddleback in August 2023 and our day/weekend was beyond perfect. We used the venue for the Welcome Party on Friday, the ceremony and reception on Saturday, and a Farewell Brunch on Sunday. All 3 days went smoothly and allowed us to enjoy a truly wonderful weekend with our guests. Even the DJ commented that he had never seen a wedding run so smoothly. We had our ceremony in a different location than their norm because we wanted our guests to look out at the mountains, rather than up the skill hill, and it was absolutely beautiful and the staff was extra accommodating to make this happen. The cocktail hour was on their huge deck, followed by the reception in the fireside room. If you visit the venue in the winter and worry how you're going to turn a ski lodge into a beautiful wedding venue - do not worry! I was so worried about it leading up to the event, and my jaw actually hit the floor when I saw it all decorated. Everything came together perfectly. All our guests kept asking how we found such a unique and beautiful venue and they loved that there was lodging available right on site, so close to the venue. Saddleback offers a free shuttle service but most of our guests just walked because it was that close. The shuttle service even picked up/returned our guests that were staying in downtown Rangeley just to make sure everyone got to/from safely. The staff was amazing and so friendly, especially Erika who pulled our day together. Erika was quick to respond to my many questions and texts leading up to the event and always made sure to put my worries at ease and very accommodating to my many requests. John was our chef that weekend and the food was amazing and he kept checking in to make sure everything was ok. We couldn't have asked for better bar service from Josh and Liz. Skyla, one of the servers, was always in the right place when I needed help. The maintenance team was extra helpful in preparing our ceremony location and getting some of us to mid mountain for first look. We can't thank the staff enough for how helpful and friendly they all were. Again, all our guests kept commenting on that too.

When looking for the right venue, we compared prices and what's included between a lot of places and Saddleback by far had the best deal. We got to use the venue the whole weekend and could start setting up really whenever we wanted to and there was no rush to be out of there by a certain time on Sunday. Erika and her team did most of the decorating on Saturday morning so I could focus on getting ready. The venue was so flexible with every decision that had to be made so that we could make the weekend truly unique to us and our personalities. Our wedding day/weekend was a dream and far exceeded our expectations!

We had such a great time getting married at Saddleback Mountain - we worked with Erika to get everything planned and organized and couldn’t have had a better experience in the planning or on the day of our wedding. Erika was super organized and responsive. Everyone we worked with on the day of from Sylvia who helped coordinate to the folks who drove us up the mountain for photos to the bartenders was awesome! Highly recommend Saddleback as a wedding venue

Massive shout out and thanks to Saddleback for hosting our wedding this past July. Erika, Chef Coco, and the rest of the Saddleback crew went above & beyond to make our day so magical and smooth-sailing. Having a day-of coordinator built into the package really sealed the deal for us - Erika’s expertise in wedding and event planning helped us envision our big day; she knew all the right questions to ask, was highly responsive, and took so much of the day-of stress off our plates. We really appreciated how kind & supportive the entire staff at Saddleback was, and the location itself is priceless - our friends and family had a blast exploring Rangeley, and many who had never been there before are already planning their return trips. Do not miss out on this beautiful location and wonderful team to work with!

We got married at Saddleback in June 2023, and I can't recommend them enough! Erika was friendly and professional from our very first meeting, throughout our planning process, during and after the wedding! She listened to our ideas, helped us come up with fun touches and details, and promptly answered all of our questions (even the ones about the rain) with helpful and confident reassurance. The staff at Saddleback was so kind to us and all of our guests throughout the weekend--they really made us feel as if we had all been friends for years. The food was phenomenal and we had so many guests tell us that it was the best wedding food they have ever had! As a couple, we expected our wedding day to be the best day ever...and what we got was so much better than we had ever imagined! We are SO grateful to Erika, Chef Coco, ALL of the staff at Saddleback, and the people of Rangeley for contributing to the most magical weekend for us! THANK YOU!

Erika and the entire staff at Saddleback Mountain were a HUGE part in making our best day ever come true. We highly recommend having Saddleback host your wedding. Erika, Molly and the rest of their support staff are amazing people who seem to actually take a vested interest in your big day. Thank you again to Erika and her team! You guys rock!!

Having our wedding at Saddleback was the best (& easiest) we made. Erika was a dream to work with and made the planning process effortless. Her sense of humor, positivity, knowledge of everything and super speedy responses made me feel like I was planning my wedding with a friend.

We had our wedding at the end of September with the ceremony outside looking up the mountain at the ski slopes and the fall foliage that was just starting to appear and cocktail hour outside the on deck to take in the views of the mountain and looking down over Rangeley Lakes and the mountain scape. The reception was in the fireside room in the lodge, we had a sweetheart table right in front of the beautiful fireplace. (beautiful is an understatement). We very comfortably fit 160 guests with plenty of room for the dance floor and had a whole section for the bar, dessert table and photobooth.

The food was also incredible. I am a big foodie so having a good menu was very important and the chef's at Saddleback did not disappoint. (If you haven't had their crab rangoons- it's a must try!)

I cannot say enough good things about Saddleback and the team that works there. I am so happy they are reopened and are thriving. If I could go back and do it again (which I wish I could do!!) I would do it exactly how we did it

Beautiful venue and amazing staff! Perfect location for a rustic wedding! Eriak Roy, the Wedding Events Manager was very helpful and answered all questions and gave guidance when I needed it. The food was amazing. Chef Coco and her team did an awesome job. Get the late night party food option. Our guests loved this feature. The scenery and sunsets in this area can't be beat.
