As a former event planner and venue manager, I was sold on Hunter Mountain from the start. When we were deciding on a venue, I was really only looking for one thing: the right people. And even though the mountain was magical, and the ceremony at the summit was incredibly unique, and the banquet space was gorgeous, and the food was delicious… from the very beginning to the very end Debbie, Tim, Bailey, Dave, and their teams were what made our wedding day so special.
That is not to say that Hunter Mountain isn’t perfect as well. The rooms were enormous, the ski lift before and after the ceremony was so fun, and the reception was everything we had hoped for. We even asked for some unique requests and they accommodated joyfully and creatively. Debbie even offered a few suggestions that became key design elements.
They treated our guests and vendors with utmost respect, communicated clearly, and found several opportunities to go the extra mile in ways we hadn’t even thought to ask for.
In every regard, truly, our wedding was perfect. We couldn’t be happier that we had our wedding at Hunter Mountain. -

My daughter's wedding on September 4, 2021 was perfect in every way. The weather was picture perfect, and the venue, scenery, staff, etc. were outstanding. First let me tell you that I do not know why there are bad reviews about the Lodge because it was clean, rooms were large and staff was top notch. The bridal suite was absolutely stunning and large enough for all the bridesmaids including getting ready the next day with our hair and make up people. They catered to our every need and were so excited for my daughter's big day. Debbie was great through all the Covid stuff. She kept us informed about restrictions etc. Thank goodness, we made it through with the wedding of my daughter's dreams. Everyone loved the chairlift ride to the top, taking pictures and enjoying every last minute of the ceremony. It was breathtaking. The food was excellent, the Hors d'oeuvres were delicious, especially the bruschetta. The prime rib, chicken cordon bleu and the pasta rollatini were delicious. Everyone raved about the food. Service was good, we had a lot of people at the wedding so they were working extra hard. Josephine kept things moving at the reception as did Sari during the ceremony. At the end of the reception, Josephine had everything boxed up and brought up to the lodge where we collected our things and brought them to our cars. That was a big help. The after party at the firepit behind the lodge was so much fun. We roasted marshmallows and ate the food that was left over from the wedding and cocktail hour. We stayed out there until 4am. Thank you so much Debbie, Josephine, Sari and the entire staff at Hunter Mountain for making my daughter's wedding everything she had hoped for. -

Hunter Mountain made our dreams come true!
My husband and I got married at Hunter Mountain on July 3, 2021. We got engaged two years earlier, prior to the pandemic. It was quite a journey to get from there to here, but we had a great experience with Hunter and their amazing staff. This will be a detailed review because reading past reviews really helped me plan my wedding. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Hunter if you are looking for that unique mountain wedding.
Planning Process:
We really fell in love with Hunter when we visited December of 2019. The hotel looked great, and the views from the top sold us. We met with Josephine and her can-do attitude was a huge reason we decided to go with Hunter Mountain as our wedding venue. Then started a long planning process. I was put in touch with Debbie who helps brides plan details for the big day and answers all your questions. It was quite a planning process, as the pandemic hit and suddenly Hunter Mountain closed its doors, and a lot of their staff began working from home. We were unable to visit before our wedding and could not do a food tasting due to covid restrictions. On top of this, Hunter Mountain was also changing into a Vail owned resort, which meant several policies changed, hotel room prices changed, staff changed email addresses and phone numbers changed. With all of this happening, I definitely had concerns at first. However, any time I felt anxious, talking to Debbie always made me feel so much better. She answered all my questions quickly and we scheduled a video chat to help calm some of my nerves. Debbie was so incredible during all the craziness and changes. There were so many changes from when we started planning to the actual wedding, but Debbie kept me in the loop and eased my stress. I am so thankful for Debbie and her calm, kind energy during the planning period. A week before the wedding I was put in touch with Josephine again, and she immediately went to work as my week-of and day-of-coordinator. She finalized all the details, called all my vendors, and met with me a couple days before the wedding to drop off decorations at the CopperTree and talk details. I’ll talk more about Josephine later, but she truly was the most helpful, generous, hard working, and determined person the day of my wedding. I don’t think I would have gotten through everything without her.
Weekend of:
Weather looked bleak for our wedding. I was stressing all week, calling Josephine in tears, debating what to do. We both wanted the summit wedding we dreamed of and were just holding out hope for clear skies. We had a rehearsal and dinner on Friday before the wedding. Josephine ran the rehearsal in the lobby of the hotel. The lobby was already cleared out and set up for a ceremony, which was perfect for a rain plan for Saturday as well as to practice the rehearsal. We had a nice buffet dinner in VanWinkles due to rain, but had a great time celebrating as family started to arrive to the hotel. The staff at VanWinkles, particularly the bar, were so incredible all weekend. My family ended up staying in the Penthouse suite, which was two floors. It had a huge kitchen and living room area which is where all the girls got ready for the wedding. It also had two bedrooms, three bathrooms, jacuzzi tub, fireplace, and big balcony over the pool. The guys had a 3-bedroom suite to get ready in, which also had a big living area, kitchen, balcony, fireplace, and jacuzzi tub. The rooms were great. We just had one issue, where the ceiling began leaking in our penthouse bedroom. We notified the front desk and maintenance staff took a look and tried to fix. It leaked the day of the wedding too, however it really wasn’t a big problem as we were getting ready. Josephine offered to have us switch rooms, and we were compensated some money for the inconvenience. I was very pleased with how fast Hunter tried to remedy the issue. The first night we all jumped into the pool outside and hot tubs and had so much fun! The day of the wedding we kept an eye on the weather, and it finally looked like it was clearing up! We all got ready, and had the first look at the back of the hotel on the patio next to the pool and behind the restaurant. It was a beautiful location and we got some great photos there. It still wasn’t raining, so Josephine got all my friends and family up the mountain! She knew how important the mountain top ceremony was to me, and she made it happen! I had a lot of concerns about the chair lift especially because a lot of our guests had fear of heights, including my husband. However Hunter got them all up the mountain smoothly, and everyone understood once they saw the view from the top. My family and myself were the last ones up the mountain. Josephine got a van to drive us to the chairlift, and then up we went. My DJ brought a portable sound system that he brought up the lift, and he played music for the ceremony. We had an absolutely breathtaking and beautiful ceremony. Everyone was talking about how perfect the location was and how beautiful it was. After the ceremony and the photos we took at the top, it was time to go down the mountain again. However, my husband, who hates chairlifts, was really feeling nervous about the ride down. Josephine managed to get a van (which already left the top of the mountain) to come back up and get us and bring us down. She stayed with us at the top of the mountain as it started to drizzle and rode down in the van with us. When we got down to the CopperTree, Josephine brought me to the back and she bustled my dress, helped fix my lipstick, and even got on her hands and knees and used a shout stain wipe to clean the dirt stains on the bottom of my dress! Later, when my dress bustle completely broke off, Josephine made a brand new bustle using safety pins. Anytime I needed her anytime during the night, she was there to help me. Josephine is like a super woman. She does a million jobs, and she does them flawlessly. She and her staff decorated the CopperTree so beautifully, and even better than how I envisioned it. She made sure to even pack up our reception food, and a piece of our wedding cake (which I was so grateful for because I didn’t get to eat a piece during the reception) and hand-delivered the food to our hotel room. She also packed up all our decorations after the wedding and made sure we got them the next day. At the end of the reception, she got us a van to take us back to the hotel, and she helped set up our after party in the back patio. We saw her working in her office way into the AM hours that whole weekend—I don’t know how she does it all! Josephine, we are so thankful for your help the whole wedding. You made all our dreams come true, and were our biggest helper and supporter the whole time.
Venue:
The food was delicious, and the staff was so incredible. My family loved working with the staff and getting to know them all weekend. Everyone was so helpful and kind. We had four options for our meals, which Debbie recommended since we could not do a tasting due to covid. We picked the beef tenderloin, wasabi encrusted salmon, chicken francaise, and mushroom ravioli. We did the standard open bar and appetizers. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal and the drinks from the bar. Everyone also loved the balcony behind the CopperTree and the views from there. We ended up doing a sparkler send off right behind the CopperTree, and then made our way over to VanWinkles for the after party. We ordered food for that, which was demolished by my family. We ordered pizzas, grilled cheese, sliders, and had smores. The grilled cheese were SO good and a huge hit. My friends and family had fun gathered around the firepit and kept the night going long. The next day was July 4th, and we held a farewell breakfast in VanWinkles. We had a breakfast buffet, with standard menu items. Breakfast was delicious, especially the French toast! It was a great way to say goodbye to all our guests and to recover from the partying the night before. We then went into town and watched fireworks for the fourth. It was the most perfect weekend!
In all, I couldn’t recommend Hunter Mountain more! All my dreams came true, and my wedding was even better than I could have imagined. They did a great job, especially considering my wedding was their first big wedding (that allowed a rehearsal, after party, and welcome breakfast) after the pandemic. The staff, from Debbie, to Andrea (the hotel room master!), Josephine, and everyone at the Kaatskill Mountain Club, VanWinkles, and CopperTree were all superb. Fantastic service all weekend—we felt so special! Thank you Hunter Mountain for our dream wedding. Hunter will forever be a special place in our heart!

Emily Sent on 06/16/2021Beautiful Misty Wedding
My now husband and I booked Hunter Mountain as our venue in January 2020, before covid-19. Throughout the stressful process of trying to decide to postpone or not Debbie and Josephine were both extremely responsive and helped ease our worries. We ultimately decided to move forward with our May 29th wedding (Memorial Day Weekend). Mother Nature was not in our favor and it was raining all morning and cold. We told Josephine no matter what we wanted to make it up to the summit and she delivered! It was 20 degrees and misting during our ceremony but it was still perfect! All the staff ranging from chair lift operators, to the bartenders were all fantastic. Our guests raved about the food and said it was the best prime rib they have ever had. Josephine, the day of coordinator was FANTASTIC. Any problems that arose (such as our DJ breaking down on his way to the ceremony) were handled by her and he didn't even know there were issues. The day was magical and our guests are raving about going up the chair lift (even though it was freezing) and the beautiful scenery that Hunter Mountain provides. When looking at venues our number one goal was to have somewhere that guests did not need to be transported anywhere. Guests were able to walk from their hotel rooms to the chair lift and the reception started at the bottom of the chair lift. We can't wait to go back for future anniversaries! -

Kristan Sent on 11/02/2019Our Wedding Day at Hunter was Perfect!
Our experience hosting our wedding at Hunter Mountain was indescribable and amazing! We met Debbie and booked Hunter Mountain as our venue nearly two years before our actual wedding day, and throughout all of that time, she was incredibly responsive, patient with us (answering our many(!) questions), and thorough. Our wedding planning process was made much smoother because of her! Then when we met Josephine, who was our week/day of coordinator, we knew we right away that we were in great hands! Together, Josephine and Debbie (and the entire team at Hunter Mountain) made our wedding a day that we know that we will never forget! It went so smoothly, and was truly more than we ever could have hoped. Thank you to the entire Hunter Mountain team for literally the best start to our married lives! We loved every second of it! -

Best Wedding Ever!
I didn't view the site prior to the wedding because I live on the West Coast. Debbie made planning from afar so easy. She responds quickly and is more accommodating than she should be. My day-of coordinator, Josephine is beyond amazing. Took all the work of last minute details and made everyone and everything come together so perfectly. She even did all the worrying for me when we had a major flower issue. Can't thank you gals enough! Oh! And can't forget Chuck for shuttling my guests around with a smile. :) -

Samantha Sent on 09/13/2019A Dream Come True!
If you want a seamless wedding, you MUST pick Hunter Mountain. From the planning, to the ceremony, the reception, the whole weekend, the before & after, literally everything.... they were PERFECT!
My husband and I have been blown away, we seriously don't even believe that it was OUR wedding that happened on August 31st at Hunter Mountain. It was just too incredible.
So for the planning, Debbie is one of a kind. She is on top of her game. If you have a question, she has and answer and if she doesn't - she WILL get one for you. If you email her, you are going to get a response quickly. If you call her, she's calling you back as soon as she gets your message. Our wedding was pretty easy, Allen & I are not picky. We did run into one issue, we wanted a sundae bar rather than cake and had trouble finding a vendor. Debbie to the rescue! She made it happen. She makes everything so transparent, there's nothing to look for between the lines. I was waiting to find a catch but there was absolutely no catch to ANYTHING.
Heather, who handles guests reservations, was on top of it. She continually sent Allen & I updated sheets of the room block including which guests were staying at the hotel, their check in date, and how many nights they were staying. I really appreciated that, especially because I was making hotel bags for each guest that was staying with us. It made it so easy to make them a few at a time rather than all at once towards the end. She answered every question that we had and even made sure my grandmother was in a room near my father because she has a hard time getting around and needs a bit of help. Just knowing my family would be taken care of lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. She was beyond accommodating.
The week of, our coordinator was Josephine and oh my goodness she was a blessing. She is wonderful with a get it done attitude. If you want things done a certain way, she made sure it was done. You got what you wanted. What more could a stressed out bride ask for during that last week?? Absolutely nothing. She eased my mind RIGHT AWAY. She set up the majority of the decor that I had brought for the reception, once she had seen the style of everything she went to the basement of the CopperTree and found vintage champagne glasses to use as the "bowls" for our sundae bar and I have to say that was the sweetest and most thoughtful thing a week/day of coordinator could have done. She is that precise. It really made the sundae bar go over the top, it was beautiful!
Every single employee that worked our wedding was phenomenal. They were all so kind and accommodating. I think what made it even more special is that they had fun while they were working our wedding and you could tell. They would dance, laugh with you, help in any way that they could, it just made that atmosphere so much fun.
Chef Mike is all around awesome, and when I say all around I mean from the food he created to the person that he is. He came out of the kitchen to chit chat that morning while I was organizing the decor that I brought. He is very kind and caring, it's easy to tell that he enjoys his career. Which brings me to the food. Allen & I never did a tasting, we've never had "good" wedding/banquet/event food, so we went with our gut and we were blown away! We chose Chicken Cordon Bleu (our favorite), Roast Maple Glazed Pork (maple is REALLY big in the finger lakes/southern tier where we are from), and Butternut Squash Ravioli (it sounded like a unique twist). We also added fried mac & cheese and bacon wrapped scallops to our standard hors d'oeuvres package. Every single person that I had spoke to said every single thing was amazing, they couldn't get enough of the food. From the appetizers to the main course, the food tasted like a home cooked meal that was presented as beautifully as you would see something on the food channel. Every single plate looked beautiful, and tasted even better. The last wedding that I attended as a guest, I took one bite of the food and didn't eat the rest. I cleared my plate at our wedding even after eating way too many hors d'oeuvres.
The staff were all very attentive to all of the guests for the entire night. They treated our VIP tables like royalty, and did everything that they could (and more) for everyone else.
We had an "after party" at the hotel bar, where we ran into our ONLY issue, which was minor. Other guests (from another wedding) were eating our food, Hunter Mountain staff did everything that they could, but after a long night and drinking people don't really pay attention to signs. We didn't mind sharing with others, I was just worried about all of my guests being able to get food but that staff ensured that they did, and that was wonderful. Our bag of s'mores items did go missing, it never made it to the after party and staff were unable to locate it. It wasn't a big deal, they were apologetic, and in the grand scheme of things, it was a cold night and many of our guests had gone to bed or didn't want to go outside. Plus it was maybe $20 of items, so no big deal.
The next day all of our wedding reception items were packed up and waiting at the front desk for us, being closely watched. They didn't need to do this for us, but it's what they do and we greatly appreciated their attention in packing things back up just the way that we had brought them. Not a single thing was missing or broken from the reception. That in itself leaves us a lot of tangible memories that I have already packed away in a memory chest. I am so thankful for that, and I know I will be thankful many years from now when we open it and show our children & grandchildren.
Our wedding was a blast. An absolute dream come true. We have zero regrets about choosing Hunter Mountain. Seriously, do not look for any other place, if you're even slightly interested with Hunter, you will not be disappointed.
Put it this way - Allen and I have already decided that when we renew our Vows, we will do it again at Hunter Mountain. With out second thought. -

Hunter was amazing! We could not have asked for a better wedding day. Debbie Reilly and Josephine Michaud are absolutely the best! They were very responsive and professional, and worked closely with us to make our vision a reality. The food at Hunter is not your average wedding fare! We received so many compliments on the menu. Chef Tim and the entire Hunter staff were incredible. I highly recommend booking Hunter Mountain not only for the incredible view and scenery, but for the amazing service and experience! -

The wedding at Hunter Mtn was absolutely amazing. WE WERE BLOWN AWAY!! The food, service, wait staff everyone behind the scenes were incredible. Josephine was perfection. She worked from the very early until the end of the after party. She got us to the top of the mtn and back down without getting rained on. And Debbie Reilly, there are just no words to express our gratitude to her. She is the best !! -

Absolutely amazing
I booked Hunter Mountain as our wedding venue after my (now husband) proposed at the top on their wedding deck. We had a very long engagement (almost 2 years) and we booked with them fairly quickly... so i was working with them for about a year and a half. Debbie Reilly is who we worked with throughout the entire process and i honestly cannot say enough amazing things about her. She answered emails immediately and was always SO helpful. Finally the weekend of my wedding came and Josephine was our day of coordinator. Again, I literally cannot say enough good things about her either. She was absolutely incredible. My rehearsal dinner and wedding day went off without a single flaw. Everything was perfect and i can't thank Debbie, Josephine and the whole staff at Hunter enough for making my day so perfect and stress free. -

Emily Sent on 05/28/2019Dream wedding!
We just had our wedding at Hunter Mountain this past weekend and we are soooo happy with how everything turned out. We chose Hunter mountain for both the excitement and beauty of getting to get married on top of a mountain and also for the convenience of having EVERYTHING in one spot. The hotel, the ceremony, the reception, the food, everything. While it was a little out of the way (we live in nyc and our friends and family came from everywhere) everyone was so happy to be there because it is so beautiful and relaxing. We made a long weekend out of it as did most of our guests. It was so easy to plan the wedding because their coordinator Debbie is AMAZING and always promptly returns emails and also so many of the aspects of the wedding are all taken care of by Hunter so you only have a to worry about a few outside vendors (photos/flowers/desserts etc...) but they even have a great list of vendors in the area (although I ended up finding most of my vendors myself from other facets.) all our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved the food and how much fun they had! I already have had a friend ask me if I mind if they look into it for their own wedding! (Which of course I don’t because that means I get to go back!!) thank you thank you everyone at Hunter Mountain!! -

Above and beyond......
NYC Couple, looking to do some sort of "destination weekend" with parents who don't really travel..... and HUNTER DELIVERED.
I could go on and on and on and on..... but our Wedding Weekend was more than we could ever imagine. From working with Debbie leading up to the event whose suggestions were more than welcomed and beyond helpful. To my "day of" coordinator Kristin.... who took 15 boxes of decor and made it into a more beautiful reception then I could ever imagine. Our WONDERFUL Chef, Chef Tim... who took the time to talk to Aunt Tina who has 903482390482390482390 food allergies and made her feel more relaxed than any wedding she has ever been to.
The hotel is awesome, the rooms are big and clean and check in went off extremely smooth. To the ceremony space on the outside deck ( not a chance on gods green earth was our family getting on a ski lift, but that looked awesome too). Our ceremony was simple, beautiful on a very chilly day with a fire pit and hot chocolate. It was PERFECT.
As someone who never really imagined their wedding, let me just tell you.... I CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS about Hunter. I just can't.
The best part about Hunter is it can pull off a super formal wedding or a casual not so formal event. Debbie, Kristen and Chef Tim the only thing we can say is thank you... for the best weekend of our lives. -

Paula Sent on 08/18/2018Our wedding was 8/5/2018 at the summit of Hunter Mtn. Planning long distance was made so easy with the help of Debbie every question she answered so quickly. Chef Tim’s food tasted better than I could have imagined. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator for the day of in Josephine. She was always ready to lend a helping hand. Just love her. We were so happy with our wedding day. The only thing I could have asked for was the day to last longer.

We experienced minimal stress on our wedding day (just typical wedding day jitters). Everything went smoothly, and we had the best weather! The mountaintop views for our ceremony were absolutely spectacular and all of our guests were blown away! We were so grateful for everyone at the Kaatskill Mountain Club for their professionalism, knowledge, and support that made this day the best of our lives.

Karima Sent on 12/13/2017I can't describe how amazingly helpful Debbie was throughout our entire wedding planning process. She is the best! We were completely clueless at the beginning and we literally got the exact wedding we were hoping for. Our guests said over and over again that it was the best wedding ever. The top of the mountain was just the most beautiful setting we could've hoped for and even though the forecast was for four days of rain, it cleared up for our outdoor party on Friday night and all of Saturday. I was worried about the chairlift, but we had people in their 80s riding it with no problem. As for me, the bride, having those 8 minutes of natural beauty and quiet right before walking down the aisle was totally blissful and calming. The reception at the Coppertree was also fabulous. The day-of coordinator at Hunter took care of setting up with some of my friends and the room looked great. The food was delicious. Just every single second of the planning and execution was smooth and wonderful. I cannot recommend Hunter Mountain enough. It was a little bit hard to make the hotel reservations for some people, but it was totally worth it in the end. All of our guests stayed on site so we had the added pleasure of running into friends and family all weekend long. It made it seem much longer than just two days.

Shannon Sent on 11/17/2017I wish I could give Hunter Mountain 1000000 Stars! Debbie was literally there from day one when my husband proposed to me on top of Hunter Mountain in the same exact spot we said “I do”! She was there every step of the way, answering my 1000 question emails, meeting with us, and being our number one cheerleader, until our amazing wedding day October 14 2017. From Kristen and Ron being super organized and on top of everything, to my amazing vendors making sure everything went smoothly, I can’t imagine our day getting any more perfect. I was nervous about the weather being mid October and freezing the day before and also with it being Oktoberfest weekend... but it was 72 and beautiful and everyone at Oktoberfest cheered us on like we were famous ha ha! Everything went so smoothly and better then I ever expected (we usually have very bad luck) The food by chef Tom was absolutely delicious and my family is still ranting and raving that “ it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to” I can not thank the staff and coordinators enough for making our day truly a fairy tale! Our family now wants to make it a tradition to go up every October to celebrate at Hunter Mountain and I can not wait! Love always, Mr & Mrs Evans -

Morgan Sent on 09/29/2015There are not enough ways to express how absolutely wonderful the team at Hunter Mountain is, Debbie and Tracy are incredible! From the moment we saw Hunter we knew we would be getting married there. The views are gorgeous, facilities are impeccable and the courtesy of the team there is unparalleled. Debbie was so attentive in helping us coordinate and plan every detail over the course of our engagement, and made the process completely stress free. Tracy was unstoppable the day of the wedding, she was running around coordinating everything and everyone. She must have visited at least five times, if not more, the morning of the wedding and kept us completely up-to-date on weather conditions etc. Unfortunately, it did rain the hour of our wedding, but the team at Hunter made the inside venue absolutely stunning, neither of us cared at all that it was indoors. Our guests could not stop raving about how responsive and helpful the staff at Hunter was at informing them of the venue location change, and satisfied every little request they had. Further, our guests have not stopped raving about the quality of the food. Chef Lang did an incredible job, every meal was so flavorful and fresh, we could not have asked for more! I could go on and on about how wonderful our experience was at hunter mountain, the crew even left a special gift for us in our suite the night of the wedding. It was SO thoughtful and a really cute keepsake. I would HIGHLY recommend Hunter for your wedding, and plan on returning to celebrate future anniversaries!! -

Liza Sent on 09/25/2015This venue was absolutely stunning. From the summit down to the copper tree we were beyond impressed. My husband and I knew as soon as we met the Wedding Staff at Hunter Mountain that this was the perfect location to have our wedding weekend.
Debbie, Tracy, Chef Tim and many more were beyond professional. Throughout the whole process there was never a NO involved. They were honest and truthful and so amazing throughout every step. We kept clear communication throughout the entire process and they made for an unforgettable weekend.
The food was phenomenal. Everyone raved from the rehearsal dinner to the last slice of cake served. Chef Tim is an asset to their team. From the moment we arrived Tracy and Debbie greeted us. Tracy stuck by my side throughout the whole weekend. Came back if we needed something in the evening and paid attention to every detail. They are a team like no other and because of them I was excited and not nervous on bit.
For future Brides, just one thing to mention. The hotel has a check in policy at 4pm. They have to tell guests that in order to abide by their in-house rules. I will say a few of my guests were super nervous about that and did not understand why so late especially when the ceremony usually beings at 4pm. With all that said we had a large wedding roughly about 165 guests and almost everyone stayed over. They were able to get everyone checked in with ample time to relax and get ready for the ceremony. They worked REAL HARD to make that happen and it did not go unnoticed.
The employees at Hunter are amazing. The amenities are great. My guests will be speaking about our wedding weekend for a long time to come.
Many Many Thank you's !!!!! -
User1826304 Sent on 09/23/2014Debbie, Tracy, and the rest of the team at Hunter were wonderful to work with from the beginning of our planning process through the end of our wedding weekend. They take great care in the work that they do and we were impressed by their attention to detail and quick responsiveness to all of the questions and special requests we had for our big day. Debbie helped prepare all of our details prior to our wedding weekend and Tracy was with us every step of the way from ceremony rehearsal to Sunday breakfast. It was an extremely busy weekend for them as well (weddings both Friday and Saturday evening and two off-site weddings staying at the hotel) and they handled it with ease.
Our ceremony took place at the summit of the mountain, and the view was spectacular. Some of our guests were nervous about taking the ski lift up, but there was staff both at the top and bottom to help calm their nerves and give instructions. We had a friend arrive to the top of the mountain early to take pictures of everyone coming up and the photos were priceless!
Our Cocktail hour and Reception took place at the Coppertree. There is a full bar with beer on draft, and we were able to make a couple of special bottle requests. Chef Tim Lang and his team did a great job preparing the meals for all of our guests. The food was delicious and we were pleasantly surprised to see a lot of medium/medium-rare prime rib going around (something you don't often see at weddings!).
Because Debbie, Tracy, and their team did such a wonderful job making sure we had everything we needed and that there weren't any details overlooked, the day was a stress-free (as stress-free as a wedding can get) and memorable one. We've heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests and would highly recommend anyone to have their wedding here. We had such a wonderful time working with everyone and can't wait to return in the winter for some snowboarding! We may return for another round of Ziplining as well. -

Elif Sent on 12/28/2013Debbie, Tracy, and the whole Hunter Mountain wedding team were absolutely incredible. They helped us to make our wedding day exactly as we wanted it. They were extremely helpful during the planning process, were always willing to answer any questions we had, and made sure that the day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch. They handled any surprises swiftly and professionally. Also, the food at the reception and cocktail hour was so delicious! Our guests were blown away by how much fun they had taking the ski lift up to the top of the mountain for the ceremony and are still talking about how much they loved our wedding. We didn't hear a single complaint and we certainly didn't have any either! If we had to do it over again, we wouldn't have changed a single thing. Thank you Hunter Mountain team! -

Immense thank you to Debbie, Chef Tim, Kristen and the whole team for helping us put together a weekend we will never forget. They are all special, upbeat, positive individuals who made the process so much easier from start to finish. The view from the summit speaks for itself and we somehow lucked out with a rainbow just as we made our way to the top off the chairlift. Guests are still talking about this miraculous moment. It was the perfect venue for us, laid-back, not cookie cutter, surrounded by the beautiful mountains and they really allow you to individualize your perfect day in anyway you want. The whole weekend was a dream come true and we highly recommend Hunter. -
Jenna Sent on 09/10/2018My husband and i got married in August and Hunter Mountain far exceeded our expectations. From the start, planning the wedding with Debbie was a piece of cake. She helped us in determening our vision and all other logistics associated. Our fantastic day of support from Kristin was amazing. She kept us in line and on time, even when my crazy family tried to rebel. And let’s not forget being served the most amazing food from Chef Tim. The food was the talk of the wedding. Not one person had a negative complaint.
We had the most beautiful ceremony on the top of the mountain and an amazing reception in the copper tree. This wedding was one for the books!
Brides, do not be afraid of your guests and the ski lift. I stressed myself out over it, and it was the biggest hit! -

Jonathan Sent on 10/14/2024Amazing mountain top getaway wedding
We had an amazing time getting married at Hunter Mountain. We wanted a place that could host a largish wedding (180 people) where most everyone could stay on site, and Hunted exceeded all expectations. The day of ran incredibly smoothly, and we enjoyed getting to work with everyone who worked there, especially Debbie. The food is great, the setting for the ceremony is amazing (even if guests will have feelings about having to take a chair lift), and the hotel is great for families (the pool was a real crowd pleaser).
