Best weekend ever

I can’t say enough great things about our experience with Alyssa and the Stowehof! My husband and I have been coming up to Stowe for years and knew we wanted to get married up there (we’re from MA). We looked at a few venues and the Stowehof stood out immediately and just felt so special. Molly at the front desk was AWESOME and though we didn’t get to meet Alyssa the wedding coordinator that day - after just talking with Molly who has been at the Stowehof for years - we knew right away this was where we wanted to have our wedding. We loved that our guests could all stay on the property and be together. Because of COVID we had to adjust our plans this year but Alyssa and Melissa were SO accommodating and flexible and worked really closely with us to make sure our weekend was still perfect. It was honestly better than I ever imagined and we had the most perfect, intimate wedding. Originally we were going to get married at the Stowehof, but because our wedding was a lot different and smaller than originally planned, we were able to have the ceremony on Mt Mansfield and then dinner at the Hof. The entire weekend was so fun because our group of 26 was able to hang out near the honeymoon suite (which is INCREDIBLE, beautiful and spacious with a huge outdoor deck) and feel like we had our own little private area of the hotel. They also were super accommodating as we were trying to save on our budget this year and allowed us to bring our own tent and set it up (luckily we have some amazing friends who know how to do that). Kyle the chef is AMAZING and his food is sooo good - all of our guests were obsessed. Dave the bar manager was super sweet as well and all of the staff are so professional and made our wedding so special. As we were traveling from MA, all of our guests tested negative for COVID prior to coming up to Stowe which really made a huge difference and helped everyone to have fun while being safe. I can’t say thank you enough to Alyssa who is so responsive, professional and so sweet- she really is awesome and went above and beyond for us. If you are considering the Stowehof for your wedding I would 1000% recommend!!! We can’t wait to come back and celebrate with our all of our family and friends next summer!!

Words cannot express the experience my husband and I had at Stowehof Inn & Resort before, during and after our wedding. Not only is Saunie, Molly, Erica, David, Elena and all the numerous other great waiters, house staff, and cooks professional, friendly, and responsive, but I feel like they are my friends. We got to know them and the day became not only about a wedding, but about making new friends.
Stowehof is an unforgettable venue. From the creative and unique guest rooms, to the luxurious pool, and sand volleyball court, to the shuffleboard and golf Frisbee, there are endless amount of activities. Coslin’s Pub is a through back in time when pubs were an intimate place to gather and laugh with friends. In a day in age where there are mega hotel chains taking over acres of land to erect cookie cutter restaurants, gift shops and spa treatments, Stowehof stands alone in providing a one-of-a-kind, personal affair.
We wanted a place where our family and friends could come and stay for the week enjoying the beautiful Vermont landscape and easy-going spirit. With Mt. Mansfield in the background and Vermont craft brew on the tap, we got just that. We did not hear any sour or unhappy comments from any of our guests who traveled from as far as San Francisco. There were only accolades. The breakfasts in the morning were hot, delicious and filling. The house staff were professional and courteous and I cannot say enough about Molly at the front desk.
We will be coming back to visit our friends that we made at Stowehof. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

Working with Stowehof and Saunie was such a pleasure. Our day was so unique, and exactly what I had envisioned for our wedding. This is charming location with a lot of character, AND with GREAT catering. I loved that it was different than a "typical venue site" so that our guest's received a totally different wedding experience. The site was beautiful, inside and out. HIGHLY recommend for Vermont Brides and Vermont Destination Weddings. VERY reasonably priced for a Vermont/Stowe venue.

Truly amazing place! My husband and I got married here on August 1st 2015-I recommend it to anyone and everyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. Saunie and her team are truly incredible. Saunie thinks of everything and does such a great job of making you feel comfortable and special every step of the way leading up to your special day. Jackie is a member of her team who is always near by on your day-making sure you always have what you need-from a margarita in your hand, a bite to eat or your veil put somewhere safe. I wish I could remember the bartenders names-they were wonderful! We got so many times compliments from friends and family members about how wonderful the staff are. We can't leave out Molly-she works wonders at making sure everyone gets a room they are happy with and has such an incredible personality. We loved the set up of the hotel, the joint balcony added to the fun. It was really great watching everyone playing volleyball and swimming in the pool as we got ready in the bridal suite. I 100% recommend the bonfire the night before the wedding-a lot of our most memorable moments are from everyone hanging out the night before. The inn itself has SO much character. The views as we got married were simply breath taking. I just cannot say enough about my experience with the Stowehof inn.

We had the best experience working with Saunie and the entire Stowehof staff! If you are looking to make a weekend out of your wedding event, this is the place to do it. The atmosphere was cozy and the views are gorgeous. The landscape made for gorgeous pictures and I cannot say enough good things about the staff! Everything was perfect and if I ever had a question, I did not have time to ask it because they would be there with whatever I was looking for. Our guests are still raving over the entire weekend. Saunie was incredible and very accommodating to all of our requests and our budget; we felt like we were working with an old friend from day 1!
My day was absolutely perfect and I would do it all over again if I could. We will certainly be returning on anniversaries or just to have dinner, as the food is amazing- especially their Mac & Cheese!

Even before I saw the Inn, Saunie was the first wedding coordinator to even respond to my email when I was initially looking. Saunie is a superhuman combination of wedding planner, event coordinator, and cheerleader. I found her to always be very responsive to my emails and phone calls, she had great advice for me (as someone who has never planned a large event before), and she always was so personable. Saunie is someone who genuinely loves her job.

The Inn itself is beautiful and unique. It has a beautifully maintained green, lush property with a stunning view of the mountains. They have lots of great places to take beautiful wedding photos, both with and without the Inn in the background. The guest rooms are all unique and are decorated like a quaint ski chalet. The bridal suite was quite large, had a canopy bed and a jacuzzi tub! The living room has floor to ceiling windows that looks over the mountain view (and fireplaces if you are doing a fall or winter event) It's just a great place to hang out with your guests.

My nieces and nephew loved jumping in and out of the indoor pool and hot tub, running around the grounds and playing pool in the pub! Very fun for school aged children, if you have any coming to your wedding.

Stowehof has both a restaurant and pub on the premises. They did all the food for the wedding which my guests RAVED about. You also get breakfast free with your room (good stuff too, not just cereal and yogurt). It was so convenient to have everything right on site, no shuttling guests from ceremony to reception, or from the reception to a hotel.

The staff is so friendly. They all seemed so happy for us and were so nice and accommodating to my guests. I cannot say enough good stuff about the Stowehof Inn and the staff! I just feel so lucky to have found this great venue!

The Stowehof was a perfect place for our wedding. We had a fantastic weekend! They have a seasoned staff that has a lot of experience with weddings. Saunie is very detail-oriented and is committed to making your event extremely special for you and your guests. Jackie was such a pro. She was so attentive to us and made sure that we always had what we needed.
We enjoyed having all of our guests stay at the Stowehof for the weekend. That was a huge bonus! It is a beautiful setting and our event at the Stowehof was a weekend we will never forget.

I cannot say enough about the Stowehof, and the, included, wedding planner Saunie! This place is buried in the mountain of Stowe and has the unique feel of a Swiss ski lodge. The views are out of this world beautiful! We had our ceremony facing the mountains, cocktail hour around the pool and reception in a tent on the lawn, and the majority of guests stayed right at the inn! All was perfect, and Saunie helped things go unimaginably smooth! She was very flexible, responsive and helped us make our big day wonderful! I would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here.

After initially booking a fall date, my fiance and I nearly immediately decided to change our date to the spring - I promised it would be my only bridezilla moment and the Stowehof wedding coordinator, Saunie, was nothing but cool, calm, collected and happily helped to choose a new date. I knew that planning a wedding from over 1,000 miles away would present unique challenges, but there was one thing I absolutely knew for sure; even if I did nothing, the Stowehof would still provide a venue and backdrop that would make our day nothing short of drop-dead-gorgeous!

It was extremely appealing to me that all of our guests could stay on site at the Stowehof. Having a variety of rooms available, we knew they had something for everyone's budget, and we wanted everyone to be able to relax and enjoy the night without transportation worries. The front desk staff was very helpful in making sure our elderly guests were situated close to family members. Our friends and family had so much fun checking out all of the different rooms; each one is a bit different from the others. The location is so perfect; easy access to the Notch road and village and ou

We were extremely happy with our wedding weekend at the Stowehof Inn. Working with Saunie and the Stowehof staff was always a pleasure. The food, service, attention to detail, and day-of wedding set-up/decor/coordination were superb. We live out-of-state, so we really appreciated the various phone check-ins with Saunie, as well as the Stowehof's flexibility with our tasting dinner (they let us have our tasting even though the Inn was not yet open for the spring/summer season). Compared with other venues that we looked at, Stowehof offered the greatest flexibility in terms of menu and drink options, tent options, etc. We also found them to have the most beautiful wedding tent location and to be the most reasonably priced. Highly, highly recommended.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
