Lesley Married on 09/04/2021Wedding weekend perfection
The team at the Gideon Putnam went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend a wonderful experience for our guests - and us! We had a mix of local guests and folks traveling to be with us. The Gideon offered an amazing destination for everyone. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the amenities provided by the hotel including a shuttle service, fireplace lounges in the lobby, coffee service, and an exceptional location in the heart of the Spa State Park. We hosted our ceremony, reception, and post-wedding brunch at the hotel. From management to front desk team, to catering, to housekeeping, to the awesome shuttle drivers, we experienced gracious customer service and professionalism. Stacie coordinated with all our vendors and the team at the hotel. She offered helpful advice and suggestions during our rehearsal and reception set-up. We are grateful for the memories we were able to make at The Gideon Putnam and highly recommend each aspect of this full service hotel - for events, or personal travel. -

The Gideon Putnam is a beautiful place for a wedding or family event. I've captured numerous events there over the years. Their new ballroom is nicely updated and their outside views are stunning for photos. I highly recommend them for your venue location. OOTOphoto looks forward to working there again.
