My childhood dreams come true.

My September wedding at Trapp was nothing short of perfection. From the time we booked (two years in advance) right through my wedding weekend, Caroline and Saunie were absolutely amazing to work with. My MANY emails were answered within hours and I never felt like I was being that "annoying" bride. When the big weekend finally arrived I was truly able to soak in and enjoy every second of it because the team at Trapp was so on top of everything that I was never stressed. I can't say enough about the entire team. From the second we set foot on the property every single person made us feel so special. If I could relive the day over again and again I would and I wouldn't change a single thing about our choice in venue. Many, many thanks to you all!! We can't wait to come back and visit!!

Amazing wedding experience

We are so happy that we chose Trapp Family Lodge as our wedding venue! Caroline & Saunie were both wonderful to work with and I felt that they were super responsive to my (many!) emails and questions. The food was amazing, the staff was efficient, and all our guests were so happy! Highly recommend meeting with the coordinators the day before the wedding to run through everything as it will make for a smooth wedding day! I was also able to meet with them morning of to quickly go over some last minute details which really helped ease my nerves. We were really able to customize our wedding day and I wish we could relive it over and over again. Highly recommend Trapp.

The most beautiful venue

We recently had our wedding at The Trapp Family Lodge and had the most incredible time celebrating with our loved ones. Saunie, Caroline, Daniel, and the whole team did an excellent job coordinating all of the details of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. All of the staff at The Trapp Family Lodge were excellent, experienced, and friendly, which made for a relaxing evening that we were able to enjoy. This is arguably one of the most scenic venues on the east coast; the backdrop for our ceremony at the Concert Meadow was spectacular, and the tent setup for our cocktail hour and reception was beautiful, as well. The food was phenomenal. The portions were generous, and Saunie helped us customize the menu to accommodate everyone's dietary restrictions and food preferences. Attending the wedding menu tasting months before our wedding was a fun part of the planning process and helped us pick out the right appetizers and entrees. We also highly recommend opting for the Ben & Jerry's truck for dessert, as this was a big hit with our guests. We cannot recommend The Trapp Family Lodge highly enough for couples who are seeking a beautiful wedding venue with an experienced team. We researched many venues up and down the east coast and definitely feel that we made the right choice. Saunie and Caroline were on top of every detail throughout the process and were a pleasure to work with.

Magical Wedding Place

The Trapp Family Lodge is a magical place to host a wedding. Saunie and Caroline and their team worked with us to plan the event and were there on wedding day to ensure everything was perfect. We and our guest were able to relax and enjoy.
The outdoor meadow was a perfect venue for the wedding ceremony and the Mozart room was perfect for the reception. The food and drink were top notch.
We and our guest took advantage of all the Lodge has to offer like the tours, hiking in the woods, the fitness center, yoga, brewery, the Kaffeehaus, and more. We are already talking about going back to celebrate the one year anniversary of the event. Thanks and Kudos to all the the Trapp Family Lodge for all the wonderful memories.

Best decision we made for our wedding!

Deciding to get married at the Trapp Family Lodge was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. As soon as we met with Saunie and Caroline we knew that they would take care of our needs and ensure our day went exactly to plan. Trapp is a great option if you're willing to pay a bit more to take care of many of the tedious decisions, such as tables, chairs, and linens, in order to focus on bigger items and vendors. Saunie and Caroline were with us every step of the way from suggesting vendors, planning out the day of schedule, and coordinating all logistics on our big day. The food and beverages were amazing and the service was unparalleled. The additional benefit of them being able to host many of our guests and the day after brunch were a bonus. Of course, the scenery and wedding ceremony site were also a huge sell!

Overall we're very happy with our decision to get married at the Trapp Family Lodge!

Absolutely perfect venue!

I cannot recommend the Trapp Lodge highly enough. It is a stunningly beautiful and professionally run venue - Saunie and Caroline are the best wedding coordinators out there. All the staff were high energy, positive, accommodating, and WONDERFUL to work with. The space itself is elegant, gorgeous, and perfectly laid out for many wedding events. The best experience!

Amazing wedding

I was married this past September at the Trapp Family Lodge and everything was amazing. Caroline was very responsive and a quick problem solver. She was a HUGE reason why everything went so smoothly. If you work with her, your day will be better than you could ever imagine. After talking to her at the rehearsal, all my stress lifted off my shoulders. We truly had the wedding of a lifetime and I can not wait to go back every anniversary and relive it. Highly recommend- also the bartenders were fantastic!

Wedding Bliss

Saunie & Caroline were instrumental in organizing an incredibly memorable wedding for our daughter. With a year long covid delay, they made the journey to "The Day," seamless.
All the details of the day came together without a glitch.
The concert meadow & the wedding tent provided the perfect outdoor venue with exceptional views.
Kudos to the culinary team for a superb culinary experience. Guests raved about the appetizers and the meals! Just outstanding!
We would highly recommend Trapp Family Lodge for your fairytale wedding ; organized by Saunie & team Trapp.

June 2022 Wedding

We had our wedding at the Trapp Lodge this June. It was absolutely beautiful. The wedding coordinators, Saunie and Caroline, helped us plan our day all the way from Houston, TX. They were exceptional with communication and execution of what we wanted for the day. The majority of our friends and families came into Vermont for the first time just for our wedding and were blown away by the beauty of the lodge. If you're wondering where to get married, the lodge is your place!

exceptional

Our October wedding at the Trapp Family Lodge was the best day of our lives! The whole day was very well coordinated and smooth, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The wedding coordinator, Saunie Sirch, was in-touch with us throughout the year leading up to the big day. She insured all of our special requests were met and did so with joy and enthusiasm. All of the staff present at our wedding were professional, pleasant and responsive. Our guests gave us compliments concerning the fast service at the open bar! The food was delicious. The location itself was perfect for us. We had our ceremony in the concert meadow which was simply beautiful. Our reception was in the Mozart room which was such a cozy and intimate setting for our 85 guests. We could not be more thrilled with how our day turned out!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
