Great experience !

I was the mother of the groom and I was involved in the rehearsal dinner ! Malaney was a pleasure to work with … accommodating and professional !
Jessica handled the payments and when speaking with her she was kind , personable and again professional ! The hotel has a warm and cozy vibe - very inviting. It was a pleasure doing business with them and I would recommend them to anyone !

Great all in one venue!

The Grand Summit Hotel was a fantastic place if you're looking for an "all in one" wedding venue. Having everything onsite made everything 100x easier for us, and so many of our guests commented on how nice it was to not have to travel around, be able to run upstairs to change their shoes, see each other around the resort, etc.! We had our ceremony on the ski slope, reception in the ballroom, and after party and farewell brunch in CAMP. It was so nice to be able to have to worry about coordinating transportation and not have to rent tables/chairs/flatware/linens, like so many venues make you do now! Truly all in one. We also used Sliders at the Jordan for our welcome party which was a fantastic way to show our guests the entire resort.

Planning a weekend full of multiple events from across the country could have been a disaster for us, but Katie and Malaney were more than accommodating and supportive answering all of our questions and worked amazingly with our planner and vendors to ensure everyone had what they needed. And our day went PERFECTLY. If you're looking for a stress-free day, this is your venue.

Great Wedding Venue!

We got married at the Jordan Hotel in July 2022 and had a great experience! Kylie and Katie were both a pleasure to work with. They were super organized and had us fill out a questionnaire that had everything planned out to the last detail. We decided to do a welcome reception for all of our guests instead of a rehearsal dinner and everyone loved it. We used the Grand Avenue restaurant/bar off of the lobby and did the Italian buffet and everything was great and being able to mingle with everyone the day before the wedding took some of the pressure off of our wedding day. Everything went so smoothly on our wedding day and Kylie was continously checking in with us throughout the weekend to make sure we were happy with everything. We received many compliments from our guests and we cannot recommend Sunday River enough! Thank you Kylie, Katie, and the entire Sunday River team!

Sunday River is a great place to get married. There is beautiful scenery just steps away from your reception and surrounding your ceremony site. The staff is organized and extremely friendly. You will love getting married there!
