    Perfect venue with the best team!

    In short: Basin Harbor is the perfect wedding destination, with an exceptional events team who delivered the wedding weekend of our dreams.

    We celebrated our wedding at Basin Harbor over Memorial Day Weekend, and calling it perfect feels like an understatement. With our wedding falling on a holiday weekend, we asked our guests to stay on-site for three nights. Our goal was to ensure everyone felt like they were not just attending a wedding, but enjoying a true vacation experience. Anne, Lauren, and the entire events team immediately embraced our vision and helped us bring it to life.

    The weekend kicked off with a movie night by the pool, followed by a round-robin pickleball tournament and a...

    Everything from start to finish was top notch. We wish we could give 1000 stars to Basin Harbor. Everything was above and beyond what we had hoped!

    The entire team was first rate, quick to respond and their help made everything seamless. They offered up wonderful suggestions and literally everything for our wedding went off without a hitch. We did NOT need a wedding planner as they did everything for us! The setting is spectacular and our guests came from around the country and were all taken with the facilities and comfort of the whole experience. The food was delicious, the service was good at every turn, too, from wait staff, the bell staff, and the front desk team. We so appreciated the wedding planning team - what a great crew! We left by boat, too, from the dock at BHC! They accommodated our every wish.

    Basin Harbor is THE place to host your special day!

    I could not be happier with our choice to have our wedding at the Basin Harbor Club. From the very start, Lauren and Anne were so thoughtful in planning every detail, were timely in their responses, and supported us through every step! Planning a wedding is stress invoking, but knowing Lauren and Anne were handling the orchestration made us (and our families) feel at ease. Don't look any further on your venue search - Basin Harbor is it!

    Incredible!

    Lauren & Anne did a magnificent job from start to finish, helping us plan our wedding. The weekend could not have gone smoother. The golf carts, efficient service, and picturesque location made for a perfect wedding. The customer service at Basin Harbor is simply unmatched. We definitely would recommend this spot to anyone looking to get married on Lake Champlain.

    Dream Summer Wedding at Basin Harbor

    We had a truly amazing experience hosting our wedding at Basin Harbor in August 2021. Wedding planning in the pandemic era can be challenging, but the Basin Harbor team was extremely helpful as we navigated the constantly changing regulations. Luckily, we were able to host our wedding exactly as planned (thank you vaccines!). We selected Basin Harbor because we wanted our guests to share a celebratory weekend on the lake together. All of our guests had an amazing experience staying onsite for the weekend. If hosting a wedding at Basin Harbor, I highly recommend taking advantage of the many onsite amenities. We did a welcome boat cruise for our guests on the Escape and it was the perfect way...

    Amazing wedding venue and resort

    Basin Harbor was the most incredible venue for our daughter's wedding. The event was flawless and their professionalism was extraordinary. Every detail was perfectly planned and executed. The beauty of the natural environment combined with the charming event spaces made for a delightful weekend. They have it all: fabulous food; nicely appointed cottages and guest rooms; beautiful gardens; friendly staff; many activities to add to the fun; and a wonderful wedding planning team. Our guests have repeatedly said that it was the most amazing wedding they've ever been too. We felt like royalty and are so in love with the resort that we are already talking about going back. Thank You Basin Harbor!!!

    Perfect wedding weekend

    Basin Harbor was absolutely perfect for our wedding Labor Day weekend! We were looking for a place where our family and friends could stay on site and be together for the whole weekend, rather than just for a few hours for the wedding, and Basin Harbor exceeded our expectations. When we first toured the property with Anne we knew we had found our place! Anne and
    Ellen were incredible throughout the whole planning process, very responsive and organized. They gave us detailed checklists covering every aspect of the wedding, to make sure no detailed went unnoticed. We had our rehearsal dinner on the North Dock followed by a Welcome Reception in the Ranger Room/pool deck. Our wedding ceremony was...

    Our wedding weekend exceeded all expectations we ever imagined because of The Basin Harbor & their dedicated team.

    The Basin Harbor is unique in that they can handle almost all aspects of your wedding in-house (thanks to Anne, Ellen and their incredible team) which in this day and age is a rare gem and a life saver for couples who may not be able to dedicate all of their time to planning their big day. In addition to being able to have your welcome party, ceremony, reception, after party and day-after brunch all in once place, the Basin Harbor can host all of your guests on-site in accommodations varying in size and price, which allows them to relax and enjoy a game of golf on their course, swim/sail/kayak in Lake Champlain, hike/bike their trails, or swim in...

    Everything You Need in One Happy Place

    What a wonderful Vermont experience for our guests. Everyone raved about the food. We had an outside ceremony (Orchard Garden) and an indoor reception (Town Hall), both spaces were beautiful with the chairs, tables, plates, table cloths, provided. I cannot say enough good things about Anne and Ellen. We were worried about the ground being too soft for our outdoor ceremony, they came up with a plan to direct guests for the best way to walk on the grass. Every time I emailed with a list of questions I would get a prompt and thorough response, which any bride knows is extremely calming as you are trying to stay organized. We used the deck space for our cocktail hour...

    We can not say enough about BHC!! It was truly the wedding of our dreams. Anne and rest of the staff were instrumental to making our weekend so special and would do it all over again in a heartbeat! The location and staff are beyond superb. Best part -- it feels like you are hosting a destination wedding without leaving VT.

    Wedding Weekend of Your Dreams!

    My husband and I were married at Basin this June (2024) and it was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. We lovingly refer to it as the 'best weekend of our lives' and all credit goes to the BH team. From the moment we reached out to the very last goodbye, Anne and Lauren and the entire Basin Harbor staff made us feel like we were family. We set out with a very clear vision in mind where we wanted to welcome all of our friends and family to one place for a truly magical weekend. Dare we say ~dirty dancing~ like. From the rehearsal dinner, to the welcome party on the North Dock, to...

    Breathtaking!

    My husband and I just had our wedding at Basin Harbor and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Not only is the venue gorgeous, the team was phenomenal. Lauren and Anne were responsive and helpful throughout the whole process and everyone at the resort was wonderful. Nicest wait staff ever!

    We couldn't give Basin Harbor a higher recommendation. It was the wedding of our dreams!

    Beyond anything we had imagined!

    We LOVED getting married at Basin Harbor - BEST decision of our entire wedding planning process. Anne, Lauren, and the entire Basin Harbor staff were incredible to work with and took care of every detail while staying calm throughout the process and fielding my many questions - we couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. We had a wedding planner as well, but honestly, I would have trusted Anne and her team, as they know the place from years of hosting weddings, but still take the time to get to know each couple and facilitate a personal touch. The best thing about BH is that all guests can stay onsite - from the time our guests...

    New England Wedding? Look no further

    My wedding at Basin Harbor was more spectacular than I ever could have imagined. The location and venue certainly checked all of the boxes, but what truly sets Basin Harbor apart from other resorts is the staff (big shout out to Lauren, Anne, the lodge, kitchen, maid, service and golf course staff who were all terrific). This is a true family first resort, so what better place to start a family at then Basin Harbor?

    p.s. no chance our guests could have gotten bored at all over the weekend with endless activities to do from golf, tennis, boating outdoors to bingo, reading in the lodge, and the maritime museum indoors. Many of them chose to extend their visits for several days before or after the wedding weekend.

    The wedding of my dreams

    My husband and I each made three wedding wishes when we decided to have a wedding. All six wishes and ones we hadn’t even dreamt yet came true. Most of it had to do with the venue we chose and the incredible staff we had the honor of working with and celebrating our life event at Basin Harbor.

    We brought a big, bright colorful Sikh/Indian wedding with all customs, traditions, food, and music, and BH went above and beyond to accommodate all the details that mattered so much to us. We were a new client profile - they knew it and we knew it and there was nothing but joy in the learning, creating and inventing that...

    Basin Harbor September Wedding

    We had a 215 person wedding at Basin Harbor and loved it. We worked primarily with Anne and she was great, very knowledgeable, flexible, attentive, and readily available. Jason in the golf shop was very helpful and accommodative in setting up tee times for members of the wedding party. The venue itself is incredible, so many of our guests have complimented it and raves about how much fun they had. There’s really something for everyone at BH. Not to mention the iconic setting at the harbor/lake with views of the Adirondack mountains. Highly recommend.

    Dream Lake Wedding!

    We knew Basin Harbor was a special place, but after hosting our wedding overlooking Lake Champlain, it is safe to say the resort will continue to be a special place for our family for generations to come! The wedding coordinators (Anne & Lauren) were amazing, organized, responsive and personable throughout the planning process. The wedding planning team provided detailed google docs for every event, which was extremely helpful for us and touched on every thing and more we could have thought of ourselves. From simple decor, set up, tending to guests, ceremony line ups, noting our favorite drinks and more, they handled everything! The day of was a breeze thanks to them and the BHC team!

    Basin Harbor: Gorgeous Venue with Genuine Staff

    10/10 Anne, Will, Lauren, Brian and the entire BHC team are true professionals. Their enthusiasm, support, guidance and follow through made our wedding a success. We are VERY particular and detail oriented, however Anne and her team definitely take the cake. From cleanliness of rooms to ensuring guests got places on time to the amount of sauce on a dish, BHC handled EVERYTHING. Anne’s experience and team management took all of the weight off and allowed our focus to be on our selves and our guests! Brian and his team made sure the venue was in tip top shape and continue to make improvements every day. Huge shoutout to Chef Chris and the pastry chef. BHC is a hidden gem and we feel beyond lucky to have been able to have our wedding there.

    Basin harbor is pure magic

    We were so lucky to get married at Basin Harbor! Anne, Lauren, and the entire Basin Harbor staff took such great care of us, our families, and all our guests. We booked our date just before covid hit. In the subsequent months, Anne was so reassuring and flexible. It was so obvious from the beginning that we were working with a family-owned business and not a faceless corporation. It made a huge difference. Anne worked with us as we came up with all types of reception ideas to keep people safe. She took care of us in those months down to the moment I was about to walk down the aisle and she told me to take some deep...

    Absolutely in love with Basin Habor

    Basin Harbor is a wonderful place, a gem in the Adirondacks. We were searching for a venue in New England for a June wedding and fell in love with Vermont. Anne, the head wedding coordinator, was so gracious and responsive through the entire process, including through postponing our wedding an entire year due to COVID. Anne and the entire BH staff made the process as stress-free as possible. And the was just the planning! The whole wedding weekend went off without a hitch. I seriously couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out and it was WORTH the wait. Having worked with this venue for over two years now, I can confidently recommend working with Basin Harbor for your event. I can't wait to go back!

    Amazing, from beginning to end!

    My husband and I had to reschedule our Basin Harbor wedding three times due to COVID, and all along the way, Basin Harbor was there to help and was extremely flexible with our changes. The staff was professional, the view was spectacular, the food was delicious - there were moments I couldn't believe it was MY wedding - the day happened without me even having a concern or thought. Anne & Lauren were on top of everything. Basin Harbor is purely magical and I can't wait to go back and relive the memories.

    Basin Harbor exceeded everyones' expectations! s!s

    My daughter was married at Basin harbor. She was looking for a venue where all the guests could stay and enjoy an entire weekend of wedding festivities. Basin Harbor Resort was a perfect choice. The Basin Harbor staff was truly exceptional and followed through on every detail. Location, accommodations, venue options, culinary options and most of all attention to detail and professional, thoughtful staff.
