We celebrated our marriage on 9/24/22 with a mountainside ceremony at the base of Spruce Peak. Our reception was at Spruce Camp with an after party at Whistle Pig. The ceremony was absolutely breathtaking, with a view of Mt Mansfield in the background as we exchanged vows. The reception was the perfect venue for our crowd of roughly 200 and the food was incredible! The after party at the Whistle Pig was so cozy with an outdoor fire, blankets, and lots of snacks inside.
We really enjoyed working with the folks at the Lodge to ensure our perfect day was… truly perfect!

(We had our rehearsal dinner at the golf club & welcome party at Alpine Club.)

It was absolutely perfect! It was so beautiful and they were so helpful! They helped with everything from meeting with my photographer and creating a timeline to making sure I was on top of my to-do list!

Lacy and Wendy were an absolute delight to work with. They made sure every detail of our big day was taken care of so we were actually able to enjoy the event vs. being stressed about it! You will not be disappointed if you choose Stowe Mountain Resort as your venue for any occasion.

This was a fabulous venue, It was excellent! Lacy was so responsive and helpful with any questions that I had and made sure the day went so smoothly! Blythe was there until the bitter end coordinating the shuttles and made sure my gifts made it to the room! Couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience!

Stowe Mountain Resort provided truly exceptional services for my wedding. There is no other resort in New England that compares to Stowe's unique characteristics and caters to every wedding necessity on site.

Lacy and her team are wonderful to work with. Very approachable and willing to help where ever they can.

Everything was perfect for our wedding. The staff could not have been more helpful, kind, friendly and knowledgeable throughout the planning process, the event and even after. The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful and everything was beyond our expectations. Having planned mostly from a great distance, we were a bit nervous about overlooked details, but we could not have been happier. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for the event of their dreams.

Ben and I chose to have our wedding at Spruce Camp Base Lodge initially for a few reasons: sentimental (Stowe holds a special place in our hearts), natural beauty (the lodge itself is stunning, not to mention the views of the mountains outside), and for the rain plan (with a lot of previous experience with rain on important days, we knew we had to love the rain plan just as much as the outdoor plan). What we got in return was so much more than just those three initial reasons!

The more we visited Spruce Camp, the more we realized just how stunning the architecture of the building is, without any decorations. We loved that the building could stand on its own in terms of decor, and that we could add minimal accents to transfer the room from a base lodge to our reception. In terms of catering, the food was fantastic! Not only that, the chef was more than willing to help us create a menu that satisfied our guests, especially those with dietary restrictions.

We worked closely with Wendy Collins, our events coordinator through Stowe Mountain Resort from the beginning to the end of the planning stages. Wendy is Stowe's best kept secret - neither Ben nor myself could imagine planning the wedding, or what it would have been like without her! Wendy helped take whispers of ideas we had and turned them into reality. Her calming reassurance made us confident that we were making the right decisions for etiquette and for our vision for the day. She was available to us to help answer any questions or problem solve any issues, before, during and after the big day. She also helped coordinate information with Stowe Mountain Lodge, which was incredibly helpful and made for a seamless weekend. When I think back on our wedding, and how happy we were to choose Stowe, Wendy always comes to mind!

We couldn't imagine our wedding anywhere other than Stowe, and at Spruce Camp Base Lodge. They treated us like royalty and helped our vision for the day become a reality!

SMR was the perfect venue for our wedding (in theory it is 5 out of 5, but of course I have to hope that it could cost even less). The setting at the base of ski slopes with both indoor and outdoor options as well as a walkable hotel were exactly what we wanted and needed for our guests to feel comfortable. Working with Calais was a breeze because she and SMR have the know how and resources to be flexible within their standard practice without making me feel like a demanding bride. For example, they liked my idea of a plated salad yet buffet entrée and it worked well with our toasts over salad, they allowed me to substitute menu items. Alcohol was by the drink and therefore very affordable with our mixed crowd. They even let ordered us a Magic Hat keg! As I worked with SMR and Calais, the starting point was us, not some pre-set, generic wedding that you then add onto. Though there have been weddings, proms and conferences in this venue, and I've seen them all, I didn't feel like I was just in any other ballroom. I was able to craft a unique reception with the level of involvement I could handle and SMR did the rest!

Kristin, Deb, Amanda, and their team did such an amazing job of giving us our dream wedding. We asked for a lot of small details (ie ice cream cookie sandwiches instead of a wedding cake) that the team delivered every time. Kristin was helpful in reviewing every aspect of our event and making sure we were all on the same page. There were a few times that we didn't receive an email response for a few days. This wasn't much of an issue because once we did receive a response, it had all the information that we needed. Planning a wedding is stressful, so you want immediate responses- but rest assured that the team at Stowe Mountain Resort is attentive to your needs.

Just something to keep in mind- Stowe Mountain Resort is owned by a different company from Stowe Mountain Lodge, so this caused a bit of confusion (i.e. you need to communicate with the hotel to make a room block or plan anything in the hotel).
