    Beautiful Venue

    We couldn’t be happier with our choice of going with Foggy Mountain! Not only was it an absolutely beautiful venue but Karen made the whole process so easy! We had our ceremony here as well and it was perfect! Foggy Mountain also takes care of your catering and alcohol! Not to mention you can stay in the lodging that is on site!

    The venue that will meet all your needs!

    Karen at Foggy Mountain was the BEST coordinator I could have asked for to help plan out our wedding day. She knew exactly how to organize everyone the day of the wedding and always took our opinions very seriously. She went above and beyond to make our day stress-free and special. They also use their in-house chef to prepare meals for weddings. He was not only extremely helpful, but his food is AMAZING. Our guests kept raving about the food. During our taste test, he knew my husband and I really liked a particular dish (Polish Explosion) but didn't think it was the best choice for our buffet. As we walked up to the buffet on our wedding day, he was standing there with a big plate of it prepared for us! It was such an extra thoughtful special touch that took their service from excellent to over the top! We couldn't have asked for a better venue or professional group of people to work with us.

    Personal, Genuine, Best Service for an Event!

    If there is one way to describe Foggy Mountain it’s genuine.

    I was looking for a place to have a wedding rehearsal and to hold all of my bridal party and out of town guests. Upon driving onto the property, I felt something magical there. My then Fiance and I took time to come up for Foggy Restaurant’s Sunday Brunch where we got to sample some of their food and we were completely impressed. My husband and I love going to the best dining spots in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and our hometown of Lancaster, and the food was tasty and perfect for our fellow foodie guests! That brunch turned into a dinner, to try more of the menu and we were excited to commit to booking the entire Cedar Lodge and Pine Lodge for our bridal party and out of town guests for our December 2018 wedding.

    After meeting Jim and Karen, we wished we would have been able to book our entire wedding there, but we had already booked another venue. There is a slight regret of not finding Foggy Mountain sooner.

    If you are a bride that wants to be taken care of like you are family, Karen will do all she can to make sure your event is perfect. Foggy Mountain gives you more than a wedding, when you dine and lodge there you really do become family. Foggy is a place to stay over and over with familiar faces far after your wedding is over, you can return there to dine on the patio, or near the fireplace in the winter. I have watched Jim circulate in the restaurant striking up conversations with his patrons and welcoming them and making them feel at home. Angie, the restaurant manager has a great personality and take care of your every need. The customer service isn’t just top notch, it is the definition of hospitality.

    Everyone at Foggy took care of all of our needs for our December wedding. From a place to take photos before the ceremony to endless firewood delivered for our gatherings around the fireplace each night, to making sure all food was delivered and tables were ready in the for our low-key rehearsal dinner of pizza and wings with friends and family around the pool table in the basement of the Cedar Lodge.

    We had our wedding at a separate venue, but we spent most of our Wedding Weekend at Foggy. We had a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner, a catered rehearsal dinner, endless firewood, and genuine customer service. Did I mention, once all the guests left, my husband and I had a secluded honeymoon suite all to ourselves? We were able to celebrate our first night as a married couple in front of a fireplace with champagne and leftover wedding cake, as well as take out from the restaurant.

    There are plenty of Instagram worthy places in the Laurel Highlands, but not only is Foggy Mountain Picture perfect but it is people-perfect too! The whole staff there: Jim, Karen, Angie, Amanda, CJ, and Matt will go above and beyond to make your time there memorable, comfortable and enjoyable! Why pay more for just a pretty venue when you could have a memorable one as well as a home away from home? You will not regret holding your event, getaway, or wedding at Foggy Mountain!

    We had our daughters wedding and reception here and it was amazing! Everyone commented on how great the wedding was and how awesome the food was. Matt is an amazing cook. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking at having their wedding here.

    Everything for your wedding from rehearsal to accommodations to photos to an end of the night bon-fire. Logistical dream!

    We chose Foggy Mountain Lodge as our one stop shop for our wedding weekend extravaganza. And it was the best decision we could have made. 10-7-17

    From the moment we drove onto the property, I knew this was it. Then we met Karen. Then we met her team. And then we couldn't wait to get married here!

    From our food tasting, to picking the bar menu, to making sure the bride's train was perfect, to helping us surprise our guests with a pinata breaking... we could not have asked for a better team supporting our wedding vision.

    We arrived with our families and bridal party on Friday and had all day to set up and decorate. We then retired to our rooms and suites to freshen and change before our rehearsal. Rehearsal dinner was in the Maple Room off the main restaurant, and Karen and Chef Matt helped us showcase a very "us" menu - for both our rehearsal and our wedding buffet. Service was fabulous - the staff seamlessly cared for everything we and our guests needed and made this bride feel as special as any princess ever could feel.
    I can't possibly describe the perfection of our wedding day in words. It was everything I could have wanted and more. We started with a delicious breakfast, enjoyed our beautiful day, ended with a bon fire, then slept off the fun.
    Sunday we were once again served a hearty breakfast and given plenty of time to clean up our decorations before heading home.

    Beautiful setting, friendly outstanding staff, impressive service and attention to detail, logistical dream, and the most perfect day ever.

    We continue to receive compliments on our choice of Foggy Mountain as wedding venue and look forward to many years of memories happening here.

    Karen and Stacey were unbelievably helpful! way more than what we expected. My daughters wedding was beautiful!
    A wedding at Foggy Mountain lodge is an exceptional value too! the rooms and accomodations were wonderful,
    The bonfires were fun after the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. the guests were having so much fun.
    our guests also have been commenting on the wedding and how great it was and the environment was spectacular, I cannot thank Karen and Stacey enough!! I would recommend a wedding there again, even a family reunion there is something else to consider,

    We have a lovely wedding in July 2015!

    We loved our experience at Foggy Mountain Lodge! Karen Dunn was very accommodating and made planning easy. There is a lot of freedom with decoration, and I just loved the ability to ride in a horse drawn carriage! It was such a fairytale. The food is so terrific and the reception hall is so nice! Best part was the bonfire after the wedding celebration and getting to spend the entire weekend with family and friends! We wish we could relive the experience!

    We held our reception at the Foggy Mountain Lodge and had an absolutely perfect night! All of our guests raved about the food and the beautiful setting. Karen, Stacey, and the rest of the staff at the Foggy go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect! They are also incredibly flexible and willing to work with you on everything. I loved that Karen presented us with a list of venders she had worked with in the past. She had recommendations on linens, flowers, and entertainment. Compared to a lot of other venues, they are the most affordable, friendly, and supportive!

    We decided to use Foggy Mountain for our ceremony and our venue, the grounds are beautiful, you can choose from a gazebo, or a pavilion which was perfect for us because we wanted our ceremony outside. Many beautiful places for pictures, plus rooms for our guest to stay in and spend the weekend with us. Karen is amazing!! She is creative and helpful with many ideas, gives you a list of vendors that she has worked with and has many compliments about. Made planing a wedding really easy. Matt is the chef their and people are still talking about the best food they have ever eaten at a wedding, from the bruschetta as one of the many appetizers to chose from, to the main dishes. The staff is extremely friendly and attend to your every need, They treat everyone at your wedding like they are part of their own family..

    Foggy Mountain Lodge

    Foggy Mountain is an breathtaking place to have your wedding. After 6 years every one of my guest still talk about our wedding. They were amazed with the beautiful setting, delicious food and the entire staff that was there for our every need. You are not a guest there you are family. Karen and the entire staff have one concern and that is making your big day perfect. After the reception you are still able to enjoy the evening by the fire or in the gameroom with your guest. We did an Italian theme and every aspect of food from appetizers to main course was available for us. The taste testing was a great time. We invited the wedding party to join us. Every other place only does it for the bride and groom to be. Special touches is what they do best. It was wonderful having the entire weekend with friends and family, being the only guest staying there because all rooms are blocked for your guest if you so wish, made it even more exceptional. Went back a year later for our anniversary and Karen and the staff remembered us and welcomed us once again like family. By far still my favorite place to go to get away with my husband.

    We decided to have both our ceremony and reception at Foggy Mountain Lodge. We were so glad we did! The setting is absolutely beautiful. The owner, Karen, is so amazing to work with! She is full of ideas and so very helpful in the whole planning process. The chef, Matt, worked with us to create our own menu that was so absolutely perfect and tasted so good! Book with Foggy Mountain and you will have a truly beautiful wedding.

    Beautiful setting, super affordable. Unique and delicious menu. So many guests commented on how great the food was, everyone also loved the bonfire after the reception. Karen is so sweet and helpful. All the staff were friendly and worked hard to help make our day perfect. My only complaint is that you only have 6 hours(including ceremony), we would've loved more time at such a lovely venue.

    Such a beautiful venue for rehearsal dinner. The pasta bar was a great choice! Private dining area was perfect.

    The grounds were amazing and exactly what we were looking for when considering an outdoor ceremony. The grounds were well groomed and they even sprayed for bees!

    The pavilion and bonfire area was such a great west to close out the evening.

    The suites were great! Ours was 4 bedroom - 3 bath.. Living room with fireplace sliding glass doors and dining table! Home cooked breakfast the next morning was included .

    Karen the owner is really nice and easy to deal with.

    Foggy Mountain is such a beautiful, well-maintained venue and we LOVED that everything could be there (we had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and a bonfire afterwards and many of our friends and family stayed there for the entire weekend). Since most of our guests came from out of town, we loved that they could stay there for the weekend and not have to deal with finding two locations (one for the ceremony and then one for the reception). It was beautiful place for photos and to have a ceremony.

    Foggy Mountain also only has one wedding a weekend (even though they could easily do two and make more money) which means you get their undivided attention and are also able to deal with setting up a couple of days before the wedding so you're not running around on the day of your wedding setting up. The only reason I didn't rate them 5 stars for responsiveness was a lack of communication at the last minute, when I felt like it was needed the most. Overall, however, Foggy Mountain is a beautiful and unique venue that I would recommend to any couple!

    Matt, the cook, was more than a cook, he did a phenomenal job. He had the best taste testing presentation I've ever seen and tasted. he checked on us multiple times to get our thoughts and to tell us about the food choices.He was super kind at all times.when we were decorating the venue, he checked on us several times, seeing if we needed anything. We wondered who delivered lunch, he volunteered to heat up the oven and make us pizza! it was superb! After the wedding, an out of town guest had a very low tire and MAtt immediately pulled his truck out, loaded an air compressor and filled our guest's tire. Matt went above and beyond his call of duty. I recommend him to your immediate attention. Not only is he a nice guy, but a great cook too! So many compliments from our guests on the food. As for the venue: I had my ceremony under the pavilion in front of the fireplace. They lit the fire place for us, because it was cold, it was beautiful. The reception wait staff was great too. They brought my grandparents their food so they didn't have to get up. They put hor' de vours aside on the bridal table since we were getting photos during cocktail hour. Karen, the owner, did a rehearsal with us, everything went well because of her direction. After the reception, they allowed us to have a bonfire. Everyone had a blast. That was the winning factor in choosing this venue. Our guests partied until 2 am. And they didn't have to drive because there is lodging on site!! 12 rooms, 4 suites, and a bridal suite. This was so convenient. unfortunately the bridal suite disappointed me. It's called the bridal suite because it has a full length Miror for the bride to get ready. But that's it. where the mirror is all the light bulbs were out so I couldn't even see!! I couldn't get a hold of someone to fix th e lighting. If you're the bride I highly recommend choosing another room. Oh and MAtt delivered the bridal party breakfast in the morning... amazing.
