Wedding Venues:

Ceremony Sites: Several ceremony locations are available from which to choose, with our most popular being the Mountain Meadow ceremony site. This provides an expansive backdrop of the Green Mountains accessible by private use of our Gate House Chairlift. One of the only private lifts available to rent in Vermont, this location provides an incredibly memorable and unique experience for you and your guests!

Rumble’s Bistro & Bar: Located across the Lincoln Peak Courtyard from the Gate House Lodge, this elegant post-and-beam venue features a 45-foot cathedral ceiling, stone fireplace, and outdoor slope-side terrace.

Best venue ever

Where to begin?! We got married at Sugarbush last weekend and are still talking about what an incredible experience we had. The venue speaks for itself -- it's gorgeous, everything is on-site, and there are tons of great things for guests to do nearby. The food was fantastic (we did a plated dinner with vegetable ravioli, beef with mushroom sauce, and mustard maple chicken as our options and have heard rave reviews from our guests about all of them). Amanda was our coordinator and was an absolute dream to work with. She was incredibly organized, responsive, and has such a calming presence which helped so much during such a chaotic day! Multiple people from our families and wedding party were commenting on how great she is and we couldn't agree more. I could truly go on for days about Sugarbush and how it was everything we dreamed of for our wedding day. Can't recommend them enough!

Beautiful September wedding

We absolutely loved working with Emma, Abigail, and the whole Sugarbush team. Our whole weekend was so calm, beautiful and well organized. Emma made us feel so welcomed on-site and was a breeze to work with while planning. From adding little flowers to our welcome dinner space, to building a little stage for our officiant for her heels on the grass Emma and the whole team were a joy and really cared for us and our family. Thank you all so much!!

Best venue with beautiful views!

Sugarbush is a beautiful venue with mountain views and space to accommodate all your wedding events. We kicked off the weekend with a golf outing at Sugarbush Resort Golf Club followed by our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks at Castlerock Pub. Our ceremony was at the bottom of the mountain, but we were able to do our first look and couple photos at the top. Emma and the entire Sugarbush team was amazing! From the attention to detail our wedding coordinator helped with to the timeline and overall service, we were extremely impressed with the weekend. It was so special having all our family and friends stay at Clay Brook Hotel, which made all the wedding events easy for guests to get to. The hotel was spacious and the staff was welcoming and accommodating to our guests needs. Our wedding weekend was better than we could have ever imagined!

We love Sugarbush!

Emma, Alex, and the entire Sugarbush team were incredible! Our wedding weekend was perfect and we received many comments from our guests that it was one of, if not the best weddings they have ever been to. Our guests commented on how amazing the food was, the venue was breathtaking (we got married at top of gate house, had reception and cocktail hour in the courtyard and lodge and after party downstairs at Castlerock pub), the service and staff were so friendly and accommodating, and Clay Brook was a beautiful and convenient place for everyone to stay for the weekend (pool was a big hit). Our rehearsal dinner at Hogan's Pub was magical! The Sugarbush team thought of every little detail and we honestly did not have to do a thing all weekend long and just celebrate and have fun with family and friends. I can't recommend Sugarbush venue and the team more. They have so many options to make your wedding weekend incredibly special.

Perfect Venue for a Wedding

Sugarbush did a perfect job handling my daughter's wedding weekend. From the rehearsal dinner to the welcome party, the ceremony on the mountain, the reception, and even the Sunday brunch, we were thrilled. All staff were very accommodating and kind to us and our guests. Perfection!

The Best!!

Our wedding at Sugarbush went exactly how we pictured it. We hosted a welcome party and a brunch at Rumbles Bistro, cocktail hour at Castlerock Pub and had our reception at the Gate House Lodge with and outdoor ceremony. This was a great way to experience all the spaces Sugarbush has to offer and have a weekend-long celebration with our guests. The Sugarbush staff was one of the main reasons we picked it as our venue, a decision we did not regret. Abigail and Alyssa did a great job with helping us plan our weekend and provided useful insights throughout our planning phase. They were very accommodating with any requests and were happy to help at every step of the way. The day of the wedding everything went smoothly without us having to get involved in the preparations, allowing us to enjoy our day. The food at Sugarbush was also great, with plenty of options at different price levels. Overall, we are so happy that we chose Sugarbush for our venue, there is really nothing they could have done to make it better.

Sugarbush coordinators made our wedding perfect

Abigail, Molly, Megan and the whole sugarbush team did an amazing job in our end of August wedding. Molly worked closely with us for 8 months, very professional, responsive and helpful in assisting us finding vendors and coordinating with vendors. She not only made detailed arrangements and timetables for wedding parties, also proactively reached out to photographer, DJ, florists and bakery to made sure everything is in place. We enjoyed our wedding just following Molly and Megan’s lead. Their team made everything smooth, especially when we encountered guest change and extra guest issue. Molly solved it super quickly. We also chose to reserved most of the rooms in the claybrook hotel so it is very convenient for welcome party and the wedding. We could not go up the mountain due to raining and windy but we had wedding on the grass. The photos came out so nice. Our guests gave us so many compliments. We highly recommend Sugarbush resort and very thankful for Molly and the entire team.

Wonderful Venue for Your Special Vermont Wedding

As a florist, I have had the pleasure of working at many wedding venues, and Sugarbush truly stands out to me. Not only does it offer a breathtaking backdrop that beautifully complements any floral arrangements, but the staff and wedding planners are second to none.

From the moment I arrived, Meg, Alyssa and the entire team was incredibly helpful, organized, and welcoming. They were attentive, friendly, and easy to collaborate with, ensuring that every detail of my floral designs aligned perfectly with the couple's vision. Their professionalism made the entire process seamless and stress-free, allowing me to focus on creating stunning arrangements.

The venue's natural lighting highlighted the pastel colors of the flowers, and the spacious layout gave me the flexibility to craft large, statement-making displays. The elegant yet understated design of the venue allows floral work to shine while still blending harmoniously with the overall ambiance.

For any couple looking for a venue with excellent service, amazing planners, and a setting that enhances the beauty of their special day, I highly recommend Sugarbush Resort for your special day. It’s a florist’s dream to work with such an outstanding team in such a beautiful location.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
