Whiteface Lodge

We fell in love with the Whiteface Lodge from the pictures alone. It’s even more beautiful in person and an absolute dream location if you’re looking for something with both a rustic and intimate flair. Elissa and Kelly were both absolutely amazing to work with. We had to make numerous changes to our plans due to ever-changing COVID regulations, and both women were wonderfully calm and accommodating throughout the whole ordeal. (We did have some issues with our reservations when we arrived, I’m guessing as a result of all the changes we made, but I do not believe either Elissa or Kelly were responsible for that.) Kelly was our day-of coordinator, and she went above and beyond on numerous occasions, even taking the time to bounce my baby niece so my sister-in-law could enjoy her dinner! While I would not recommend trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic, I would absolutely recommend booking the Whiteface Lodge to celebrate your special day!

My daughter booked The Whiteface Lodge for her June 2020 wedding. The property is beautiful and the staff exceptional. We had to reschedule twice and they, most especially Elissa, were just outstanding in every way. They really cared about what was going on and went out of their way to make my daughter's dream wedding come true. Unfortunately we were not able to have that wedding due to Covid. The Whiteface Lodge has been truly exceptional throughout all of it. We wouldn't hesitate to try again for another event.

The Whiteface Lodge is the perfect place to get married! They were so flexible and easy to work with. The whole wedding weekend was an incredible experience.

The Whiteface Lodge was our wedding venue for our Adirondack wedding on September 15, 2019, and it was the most magical place to have a wedding, the most prepared, generous and hospitable to us and our guests. I can’t say enough about this exemplary venue and our two points of contact: Rosette Press, Director of Social & Catering Sales, and Nicole Zaluski, on-site Wedding Planner and Artist of our day.

Our Adirondack wedding was a destination wedding, so first we interfaced with Rosette, who showed us the Whiteface and helped us get our contract together, choose our food and nail down the overall timing and purchases. Rosette is elegant, wise, funny and calm…she helped us stay on task and followed up professionally when payments were due and as our day approached. Rosette’s calm competence and attention to detail made us feel well cared for, in supremely good hands, assured and relaxed and ready.

As our day approached Nicole became our front and center contact, as she is the artistry behind the entire day. Nicole interfaces with ALL vendors on the day of the wedding, so you don’t have to, and she handles every little personalized touch and detail with more precision and care than you can imagine.

I once came to visit Nicole before the wedding and she was personally re-vacuuming one of the private dining rooms for a rehearsal dinner she was curating because she wanted it “just so.” Nicole is an actual artist; if you tell her your ideas she will create something even more magical than you imagined…taking your idea and making it more ethereal, more artistic, more unique. Nicole made all our details come together in a fabric of beauty, warmth and welcome! I valued her and her curation SO SO MUCH.

If Nicole is the artist/wedding planner for your day, she has an astonishing canvas to work with: The Whiteface Lodge is one of the most stunning interiors/exteriors I have ever seen. Its honeyed Adirondack wood is inviting, its dimensions generous yet cozy, and it photographs extremely well, warm with great hues and tones. The setting of the property is singular and stunning, nestled in the Adirondacks, friend of wind and water. Our guests were over the moon with this venue; they still compliment us on finding such a gem for our wedding setting.

The food at the Whiteface is exemplary and surprising: Chef chose local seasonal vegetables and created food that was delicious and fresh, Michelin quality, including wines that were paired and appreciated. The servers are elegant and well-oiled, the entire day went better than we could have imagined. The Lodge setting felt casually elegant, not fussy, but deeply luxurious and cultured, a place to remember, a place to return to.

The Whiteface is a luxury venue, no doubt about it, but when the bill came in we were actually surprised at what an overall value it was. All the beauty, care and singular setting for a good price. You won’t regret choosing the Whiteface Lodge, and working with Rosette and Nicole. They will make you want to come back, again and again, to such a special place…as unique as Brigadoon!

My wedding at the Whiteface Lodge was amazing! We had a couple bumps at the end, BUT the Lodge went above and beyond to correct any mistakes that were made, and my wedding turned out to be, I may be biased here, the best wedding ever!

We are so incredibly happy we chose to get married at The Whiteface Lodge. From the moment we walked in for our tour, we fell in love. Rosette, in charge of sales, was so welcoming and full of information. We had a full list of venues to visit and ended up booking then and there.

At that point, we began working with the amazing event planner, Nicole. She too was super friendly and made the process so simple. She was in contact every step of the way and let us know what she needed when.

The weekend of the wedding was a dream. We had the entire clubhouse to ourselves, which we would highly recommend. We were able to spend so much time with all of our friends and family. Everyone loved the ice skating, outdoor hot tubs, etc.

We had a smaller wedding of 50 people and they made the space look perfect. We got married in the Kanu room, which had the fireplaces roaring and looked completely transformed from the dining area! The reception was more than we could have asked for. The food was FANTASTIC (which we knew from the tasting!), the drinks were well made, and the staff were so friendly. Honestly, whatever we asked for they did and did so with a huge smile.

This was the perfect winter wonderland wedding. Our friends and family cant stop talking about it! We will forever cherish our time spent at the lodge and cant wait to go back for our anniversaries. We also cant think Nicole and the team at Whiteface Lodge enough for their patience and guidance throughout this process.

Beautiful, stunning venue. The staff are absolutely amazing! It was the perfect location for our dream winter wedding.

We were extremely satisfied with everything!!! Nicole and the team were accommodating and helpful in all aspects of our wedding. The food was delicious and the venue was even more spectacular with all the Christmas decorations!! We haven't been able to stop talking about the amazing we had with family and friends. The best thing we did is make our wedding weekend last for 4 day straight, surrounded by everyone we love!

We worked with Nicole from the vey beginning and she made the process super easy and stress-free. The venue offered a lot of flexibity with packages, bar choices, and menus choices. I also did a lot of the decor and all of the florals myself. Nicole and her team placed everything it the perfect spot based of a key I made and as I walked down the aisle I saw my beautiful ceremony vision come to life and was able to repeat the same feeling of excitement seeing the reception come to life upon our entrance. I also had the guests personally come up and compliment that their meal was seriously delicious and they were amazed at the beautiful plated dish they were presented still piping hot! The lodge takes great pride in their food and creates a seasonal menu that is ever changing. You are not just stuck with chicken or steak. My mother is also a vegan and they were more than happy to accommodate her with a fantastic dish she loved! Another great aspect was that the resort itself has awesome amenities and many of our guests made it a mini vacation taking a day or two extra to enjoy the pool, spa, hot tubs, and slopes. I kept having guests tell me this was the most beautiful venue and the whole family was able to enjoy their time. Relaxing the day after my wedding at the pool and steam room was a total lifesaver and it was so nice to be able to take a few moments to myself after such an eventful few days.

We got married at The Whiteface Lodge this past January and aside from it being the most beautiful place to have a wedding, the staff simply made everything up to and on the wedding day so flawless and smooth. My winter wedding was truly a wonderland! As a guest at the Lodge, each and every person who works there goes over and beyond to leave you feeling so special. Everything from the suites to the amenities to the property views are beyond words - simply breathtaking. I cannot wait to stay again - it feels like home and I miss it already!
