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.

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 scenic sightseeing tour on Lake Champlain the next day. From there, we transitioned into a sunset cruise on The EScape, a flawless rehearsal dinner on The North Dock, and an incredible welcome party at the Burgee Bar. On our wedding day, both wedding parties were treated like royalty in our respective cottages, with lunch provided and every request seamlessly accommodated. The ceremony on the Lodge Lawn, overlooking the breathtaking Basin, was followed by dinner and dancing in Ardelia's. To end the night, we gathered around a campfire at the Red Mill for s'mores under the stars.
A weekend with so many moving parts could have felt overwhelming, but we always felt supported and cared for by Anne, Lauren, and the entire team. No request was too big—even a last-minute change of ceremony location and a spontaneous addition of Aperol Spritzes during cocktail hour were handled with ease. Beyond that, an unexpected family emergency arose the week before the wedding, and Anne and her team worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, allowing us to focus on what mattered most. Their compassion and professionalism during such a delicate time meant the world to us.
The planning process, spanning over a year, was equally seamless. Anne and her team maintained flawless communication, proactively checking in to keep us on track while expertly coordinating with external vendors, including our band and florist.
From the moment we discovered Basin Harbor online, we had a gut feeling it was special. That feeling was solidified the moment we set foot on the property and experienced its natural beauty, endless activities, and warm, dedicated staff. We are forever grateful to the entire Basin Harbor family—the Beaches, Anne, Lauren, the waitstaff, bartenders, chefs, boat crew, housekeepers, and everyone else behind the scenes—for creating such a magical experience.
We cannot wait to return to Basin Harbor, our favorite place, to continue making lifelong memories.

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.The entire team was first rate, quick to respond and their help made everything seamless.

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!I could not be happier with our choice to have our wedding at the Basin Harbor Club.

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.

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.

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 at the the wedding arch, cocktail hour by the Burgee Bar/Dock, and tented reception on the Homestead Lawn. We capped off the night with an incredible fireworks show and after party at the Red Mill with the biggest bonfire I’ve see. On Sunday we did a boat ride and dinner in the Terrace Room. We loved driving around our golf cart and seeing the resort filled with all our family and friends, and loved hearing our guests excitedly tell us how awesome their Lakeside cottage is. We had no kids at the wedding (other than ring bearer/flower girls), but many brought their kids to enjoy the amenities the rest of the weekend, some even extended their stay and made a vacation out of it. Everything was very well done, you can customize anything, from the menus to wine to locations, and the food was delicious (I highly recommend going to one of the grand tastings). Our guests are still talking about our wedding and some say it’s the best one they’ve been to! Basin Harbor will not disappoint!-

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...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 their pool (which is a rare perk that our guests still talk about to this day). From the day we connected with Anne to moments before I walked down the aisle, they worked with my husband and I on every minute detail while offering unique ideas to personalize certain elements (a post-ceremony harbor cruise in a chris craft boat, a floating golf green during the cocktail reception, a sparkler send off, a bonfire and food truck afterparty, etc). As we worked together throughout the year, I felt like I could rely on them to make sure that everything was taken care of and I walked away from all of our conversations feeling a sense of excitement and pride in what we'd created. You can tell that they really feel passionate about their work and thoroughly enjoy creating unforgettable weddings and events. I honestly cannot imagine an easier and more enjoyable way to plan a wedding. They've built relationships with the best local vendors and host intimate meet-and-greets which makes choosing vendors (photographer, band, florist, etc.) a breeze. Our wedding weekend exceeded all expectations we ever imagined because we were able to live in the moment and enjoy ourselves. We wouldn't have been able to have that without the level of detail and incredible hospitality that the Basin Harbor offers. I cannot wait to celebrate our anniversary each year and walk around the property thinking back to the best day of my life.-

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 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 and then moved inside for the reception, the Town Hall was the perfect size for our roughly 100 guests, we fit a dance floor, the photobooth, and all the small and large round tables we needed. The food was conveniently located in the porch room. We used a standing tv unit for our slide show. My dad wanted a special drink (pisco sour) and Basin Harbor was happy to accommodate us. That's basically what makes this place the best, the service we received leading up to and the day of was stellar. Things that Basin Harbor includes are catering, cake, space, and accommodations. We had food brought to us at our cabin where we got ready, and it was delicious, get the petit fours, SO GOOD. I also wanted to have a Thai water blessing during out ceremony, and Ellen worked with me to make sure our set up of the table was what we needed to make that happen. Seriously, it was so great to have Basin Harbor take the reigns once we got there so we could truly enjoy our wedding.
Some critiques: Because there was another wedding during our weekend, a few of my guests had a hard time finding rooms and had to go else where. This was fine, but there was often some confusion when I (the bride) would receive information on guest count and room availability. I think they were in the process of updating their system because the spreadsheets were sometimes a bit mixed up. Also, I was hopeful about our cake since the petit fours were so tasty (and we had a tasting where the cake was amazing), however, perhaps because the cake is made early and in a fridge, the cake was only ok, a bit cold and dry. The frosting, sugar roses, and stand they were on were great, and the red velvet is the best flavor!
Truly, this is such an amazing place, our guests had a great time exploring Vermont, they got to go out on boats, fish, bike ride, all from the resort. And out wedding was great, we had the welcome reception and a farewell brunch too, and at all the events the staff was so accommodating and fun. Thank you for making my wedding the perfect day.-

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 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 all the wedding day events (including fireworks!), and an after party in the darling Red Mill, every detail was executed flawlessly. The team made sure the events ran smoothly and all details orchestrated in an effortless manner. This included making us feel comfortable about the rain plan in the event that we had to use it -- something that was a huge relief. We had no shortage of requests for Anne whether it was espresso martinis circulating during cake cutting, to customizing the wine list, to helping managing out external vendors (including multiple rentals), to a post-wedding boat cruise in choppy water, the team went above and beyond to deliver everything we asked for. The best part about the weekend was that our guests were able to take advantage of all Basin Harbor had to offer. We heard during the course of the weekend and now over the last several months since the wedding that it was folks favorite wedding they had been to because the venue really allowed them to create special memories. No stone went unturned and the unique nature of Basin Harbor really shined. We couldn't be more happy that we pulled the trigger and picked Vermont. We can't wait to come back year after year to start our own Basin Harbor tradition.-

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 arrived, people didn't have to think about a car until departure on Monday. We got married Labor Day weekend, and the extra day allowed for maximum lounging, boating, and activities galore. The Red Mill was amazing, food was wonderful, our guests all raved about Basin Harbor for months afterwards and still want to return annually. Thank you for the most magical weekend of our lives, Basin Harbor!-

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.My wedding at Basin Harbor was more spectacular than I ever could have imagined.

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...My husband and I each made three wedding wishes when we decided to have a wedding.

We also chose BH because we wanted a place that was woven into our history and future chapters we have yet to write. This place will forever feel like home for us, and the team will forever feel like family.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with BH and more grateful for this shared history!!! -

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.We had a 215 person wedding at Basin Harbor and loved it.

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! The resort itself...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 resort itself is such a unique experience for guests, a true adult summer camp. The best part was being able to walk/golf cart everywhere. The resort did an amazing job of accommodating our various events throughout the wedding weekend and allowed us flexibility with weather and personal touches. We held an outdoor ceremony at the Lodge Lawn, cocktail hour on the North Dock and tented reception on the Homestead Lawn. As the bride and groom we did not have to worry about a single detail on our special day, everything was planned out and handled by the BHC team. We can not say enough great things about BHC and how special this family run resort is to everyone that has the pleasure to visit. We look forward to spending many anniversaries at BHC!-

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.10/10 Anne, Will, Lauren, Brian and the entire BHC team are true professionals.

Basin Harbor, A perfect setting for our son's wedding
Basin Harbor did a perfect job hosting my son's wedding on Memorial Day Weekend. I could not imagine a more beautiful place, a better staff or a more organized and professional organization. It was an unbelievably wonderful weekend!Basin Harbor did a perfect job hosting my son's wedding on Memorial Day Weekend.

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...We were so lucky to get married at Basin Harbor!

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 breaths. During the rehearsal, she even showed me and my dad how to take a wide turn so my dress wouldn’t get caught in the arbor. You have to love it! We were in capable hands. Basin Harbor is pure magic and I encourage you to reach out to them. It is stunning in all seasons, the food is exceptional, and the accommodations are fabulous. Having both of our families staying on the same property enabled all sorts of fun run-ins over the weekend. It is a really special place and I recommend it unreservedly for weddings and events.-

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!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.

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.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.
