Sunday River Weddings provided us with our dream wedding that went above and beyond our dreams. Absolutely have your wedding here!!

We can't say enough positive things about our experience with Sunday River Weddings. From the initial planning process all the way to the events of the wedding we felt well taken care of with this responsive, kind and prepared team. Our guests continue to rave about the quality of the food, the kindness of every staff member and the gorgeous venue. Our guests with allergies felt safe and taken care of due to the attention to detail of this team and their ability to go above and beyond for their guests. My husband and I have nothing but positive memories looking back on our wedding day and it is because of all this incredible team at Sunday River! Absolutely have your wedding here!!

Beautiful Location

From the day we toured Sunday River we felt welcome and cared for. The wedding coordinator, Katie Chambers, was incredibly helpful and very communicative throughout our beginning process. Our "day of" coordinator, Michaela, was also so incredibly helpful throughout the process. On the day of our wedding she was kind and very organized. She communicated with my Maid of Honor throughout the whole event to make sure I had everything I needed. We absolutely loved the venue. The Jordan Hotel, where us and our guests stayed, was recently renovated and looks stunning. The Jordan Terrace, where the ceremony took place, was probably my favorite spot, it was breathtaking. Sliders, where our reception took place was a perfect spot. Our guests still rave about the food and everything was set up and taken down efficiently and on time. The staff were incredibly kind. Greg at the front desk especially made us feel like family and your stay isn't complete without having a conversation with him. Overall, I am so grateful we booked this venue for our wedding and look forward to going back to visit.

Beautiful Venue

The Jordan Hotel, Sunday River was the perfect venue for our Fall wedding. The outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour with the reception at Sliders worked great for our 100 guests.

We loved the location where everyone could stay on site and enjoy the amenities like the heated pool and hiking trails.

Katie and Jen were great to work with through the planning process, always very helpful and responsive. The entire staff at the Jordan were very friendly and accommodating, especially the front desk and banquet staff. We highly recommend!

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!

Our Wedding Venue

Katie and her team at Sunday River and Jordan Hotel were a dream! We had a wedding that was displaced due to COVID-19 and recently got to celebrate in the way we originally intended. We cannot praise Katie and her team enough for how special they made us all feel on our big day! The venue, the food, the service and overall experience were top notch! We highly recommend working with the Sunday River Wedding Company to all future couples especially holding your wedding at The Jordan Hotel and Terrace! Thank you!!!

Perfect Venue!

The Jordan Hotel at Sunday River was the perfect venue for us! We lucked out with the weather and foliage and had a great day. Katie Chambers was beyond helpful with the planning process and day of logistics. Our questions were always quickly answered and we never felt lost or confused during planning. Thank you!

Amazing venue & experience

We were married at the Jordan Hotel at Sunday River and could not be happier with our experience. First, the venue itself is incredible. Whether you get married in the spring, summer, or fall like we did, the views will not disappoint. Our coordinator Katie C. was also amazing. She worked with us through our postponement and was always very helpful and responsive. Things would not have come together without her. The staff and everything else about the place is also great. Everyone was courteous and our guests raved about the food and experience. If you can budget for it, I highly recommend doing the fireworks add-on! Our guests were blown away and it added something extra special to the evening. You won't be disappointed by going with Sunday River!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
