Aundrea Sent on 08/29/2024Best day ever!
We had such an amazing experience at Killington Mountain Resort. We held our ceremony and reception at the Peak Lodge, which required guests to take the K-1 gondola to get there. It was such a unique and beautiful setting. Additionally, we hosted our Welcome Party and Farewell Breakfast at the Killington Grand Resort Hotel, and everything was perfect. Jessica Alberty and the entire events team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were professional, competent, and kind throughout all of our events. In the months leading up to the wedding, Jessica was incredibly helpful, always available to answer our questions and accommodate our requests. And about the food….the food was SO.GOOD. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was. From the gondola ride to the stunning setting to the incredible food, our experience at Killington was unforgettable. -

Isolde Sent on 10/09/2023Great team, stunning views
I would highly recommend working with Killington Resort for your wedding or event. Our wedding took place at the Peak Lodge, accessible only by gondola, and the views alone made it the perfect choice. The ceremony takes place outside, surrounded by mountains and Vermont beauty everywhere you turn. The reception is inside the lodge which absolutely transforms from a ski lodge to a beautiful venue. The gondola is handicap accessible - we had guests in wheelchairs. The team was an absolute pleasure to work with - they are excellent at what they do and helped us along the way with suggestions based on past experience, and even had 2 signature cocktails waiting for us post ceremony to enjoy in private before rejoining our guests which was a highlight. The food was outstanding, their chefs are very talented and many of our guests commented it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding! We are so grateful to the Killington team! -

Fabulous team and venue
I recently had the privilege of getting married at Killington's Peak Lodge in June, and as someone who has worked in the wedding industry for many years (as a wedding florist), I can confidently say that the Killington Team was the best choice! From the moment we began planning our wedding, Krissy and the entire Killington planning team were nothing short of exceptional. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day perfect was so evident. On the day of our wedding, the staff at Killington were not just helpful, but also incredibly warm and accommodating- to us and our guests and also to our other vendors! Their genuine kindness and attentiveness put us at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our celebration. Even when we faced challenges (like a coinciding bike race and unpredictable weather) the Killington team's ability to adapt and handle unexpected situations was evident and we had no problems! Finally, I can't recommend the food enough! Everyone was raving about the food and it was truly delicious. We worked with the culinary team to make a unique brunch menu and it was so good! I 100% recommend Killington as a wedding venue. -

Cristina Sent on 11/08/2022Best venue
We had our wedding on 6/17/22 at the Killington Grand and it was the best day ever.
Sharon was fantastic to work with, and answered all 1,000 (maybe more) of my questions/requests. The entire staff at the Killington Grand was exceptional. From the hotel rooms, to the amenities, outdoor ceremony space, beautifully decorated indoor reception area- everything was perfect.
I am so glad that we chose Killington for our wedding, as it could not have been more amazing. Highly recommend! -

The Most Incredible Wedding Venue!
The Killington Peak Lodge was the most incredible wedding venue we could ever dream of and we had the most magical wedding weekend experience at Killington. The staff, food, venue, location, entire experience really, all exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Thank you Sharon, Caryn and the entire Killington Team for making our wedding dreams come true.Killington Resort's reply:
We are thrilled that you had such a fantastic wedding! Thanks for choosing Killington to host your special day. -

The VT mountain wedding we dreamt of!
Choosing Killington as our venue was the best decision we made about our entire wedding. Like many others, we picked it because of our love of snow sports and wanted to celebrate at our favorite mountain with family and friends. And we knew folks would have a great time at such a classic ski mountain, a very "New Englandy" destination. What we didn't realize was how incredible every single person we worked with would be throughout the entire experience.
From the very start, the process was super easy, transparent and flexible. As a hyper organized, often worried bride, I had a lot of questions... and Sharon (a literal angel sent from above) was there every step of the way to answer every single (sometimes ridiculous) one of them. Like so many other couples, we had to postpone our 2020 event, and Sharon was there through it all, helping us take on the huge task of rescheduling the event.
Up until even a week before our 2021 event, she was able to walk us through our options should we need to postpone or even cancel--luckily, we did not need to, but the incredible empathy and flexibility was not what expected from a wedding venue.
Once we got to wedding weekend, it was seamless--Sharon had everything covered, and my husband and I were able to truly enjoy every moment of our day. We chose to get married at Snowshed Pond and the view made for some spectacular photos. The setup in the ballroom was lovely, food was great and the service top notch. I worried about nothing the day of my wedding thanks to Sharon and the rest of the staff's efforts--they worked seamlessly with all our other vendors as well.
Other reasons we chose this spot: Being a hotel made the experience easy for both us and guests, no traveling from place to place--every event, from welcome party to farewell breakfast, was walkable and on site. Also, the rooms at the hotel came in a variety of configurations--suites, multi-floor units, traditional hotel rooms--giving folks in groups lots of options. Plus there's just so much to do at Killington--the mountain alone is full of incredible activities in the summer.
Highly recommend if you're looking for a Vermont mountain wedding!Killington Resort's reply:
Thanks Melissa! Glad you had such a wonderful wedding weekend at the Resort. Congratulations and we look forward in welcoming you back in the future! -

Emily Sent on 08/20/2021Romantic Wedding Destination for Adventurous Couples
My husband Andrew and I started planning our Killington Peak Wedding in the Spring of 2019 after we got engaged. We picked this venue because we are both skiiers, and Killington is one of our favorite mountains to ski. When we saw the Killington wedding brochure in the lodge during a hot cocoa break we instantly knew that we wanted to get married at The Killington Peak. We started to work with Caryn and we were amazed at what we could get for the price: gondola service to and from our wedding ceremony and reception, a spectacular ceremony setting, and a five-star restaurant dining experience for an exceptional price at The Peak Lodge. Like most 2020 wedding couples, we eventually had to deal with heartbreak of having to reschedule our wedding twice. However, the staff at Killington were extremely accommodating and helped us find a time that would be safe and practical for our guests to celebrate our nuptials. Sharon ended up taking over as our wedding coordinator in April 2021 and with her help Andrew and I were able to pick back up where we left off to plan our August 2021 wedding. What Sharon was able to help us do in four months was incredible! When our wedding day finally came our guests were amazed by the incredible staff, delicious hors d’oeuvres, refreshing cocktails, and wonderful meals that we were served at The Killington Peak. In addition, the Hotel Staff at The Killington Grand Hotel & Resort were exceptional. They even delivered a safe, well-constructed crib to our room for our infant daughter to borrow during our stay. One of the coolest things that I remembered from our wedding was riding the gondola down the mountain in the pitch black of night after our reception! We also really enjoyed the buffet-style food at the “Sunrise Breakfast” that we hosted for our guests the morning after our wedding. It was a nice way to say “good-bye” to them before they journeyed back to their homes. Andrew and I would sincerely recommend The Killington Peak Wedding Venue to any adventurous, thrill-seeking couple, like ourselves, who want to have a romantic, one-of-a-kind, and unforgettable wedding experience for an incredible price.Killington Resort's reply:
We are so happy that you had such a fantastic wedding! Congratulations and we hope to see you this winter on the slopes!! -

A perfect wedding venue!
We got married at the Peak Lodge on July 31, 2021 and it was amazing! The team at Killington was outstanding and provided us with high level of customer service and care throughout the planning process and during our wedding weekend. Between our welcome party at Preston's Outdoor Patio and our ceremony/reception at the Peak Lodge, our guests were blown away by the gorgeous views, hotel accommodations, great food + drink, and quality of service.
Killington's packages are well-rounded and customizable, making the planning process easy as so much was handled in-house. Their preferred vendor list was extremely useful while we were researching and hiring vendors, and it quickly became clear to us that local vendors LOVE working with the Killington wedding team. Caryn deserves a special shoutout for going above and beyond to make sure our wedding weekend went off without a hitch, helping us plan everything remotely as we live out-of-state.
We can't say enough wonderful things about Killington Resort and highly recommend this wedding venue!

Absolutely Fabulous!
I can't say enough about how fabulous the staff and the facility were for our wedding. We had 5 events over 4 days and they were all wonderful. Caryn said yes to whatever we asked for - except for making the rain stop. Our guests raved about the food, the location was just amazing and the prices were very reasonable. -

Jenna Sent on 01/07/2020Mountaintop Magic at the K1 Lodge
We got married at the K1 Peak Lodge on September 20, 2019. What an amazing venue, view, sunset, atmosphere - but more importantly, what an amazing team of people making all the magic happen behind the scenes. We were looking for a unique location for our wedding but one that was also handicap accessible for a few key family members. Killington is (to our finding) the only handicap-equipped gondola-servicing wedding-on-the-mountaintop option in the New England area. Killington was one of two venues that we visited one weekend and we knew it was perfect for us and (on a Friday) was at a reasonable price point compared to more status quo venues. After our site visit with Caryn, we worked with Katie Carey who was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly professional, always responsive, had an eye on every little detail, and made sure that our rehearsal and day-of went as smooth as could be. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie and our day honestly would not have been the same without her expertise and fun demeanor. The K1 lodge is beautiful as is with floor-to-ceiling windows, clean lines, new amenities, and beautiful modern lighting - we hardly had to add much decor. The menu by Chef Eric at the Peak Lodge is unparalleled, period. We received more compliments on the food than I thought was possible! Every member of the service team on the day of our wedding was top-notch. All the staff at the Grand Hotel where we had our room block were so accommodating to everyone and exceeded all of our requests. We held a welcome event and after-party drinks at Preston's in the Grand which worked perfectly! Killington's turnkey package model made our wedding planning easy, streamlined, and not stressful at all. The views are unparalleled but the team is even better and so important. We would recommend Killington Mountain for any couples considering a unique wedding venue in the heart of VT! -

Exceeded our expectations!
I didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything was considered, and taken care of, by our kind and competent wedding coordinator, and everything was beautiful! Our guests raved about how delicious the food was. The venue was gorgeous inside and out. We want to have our anniversary party in the same spot some day! -

Dream wedding venue!!
We are from NY and MA, but have many memories in VT so we knew we wanted to get married there. We had some high expectations, and wanted a venue where all of our guests could stay at one spot (185+ people) . Once we saw Killington we knew it was the place for us. Our wedding coordinator, Katie Carey was so amazing. From booking the event, answering my constant questions and emails, and handling everything the day of- she was so helpful and made me feel so relaxed the whole year and wedding weekend. I had A LOT of personal touches and signs, and the day before I gave everything to Katie. She did an outstanding job utilizing and setting every thing up perfectly. Our guests are saying it was "the best wedding they've ever been to!" They also kept raving about the hotel staff (i.e., front desk, valet, food service, etc.) saying how nice and accommodating everyone was the whole weekend. From Friday night's rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at the Clubhouse, to Saturday's wedding in the Oscar Wilde Ballroom (food was awesome!), everything exceeded our expectations. It was truly our dream wedding, and the best day ever! Thank you Katie Carey & the Killington Grand staff! (Photographer: Winding Roads Photography/ Gabby C. , Florist: Jaga S.)

We had our Ceremony and Reception up at the Peak Lodge on top of K1! I think it gave our wedding an edge over other weddings, because it provided a gorgeous view, and amazing sunset! It was also different that guests had to take the Gondola which not many people get to do! It was by far the best decision. We worked with Katie Carey who was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and answered emails within hours. She was so easy to work with! The food was amazing Chef Eric knocked it out of the park with our tasting, and did not disappoint even on our wedding day. No one walked away hungry, and portions were perfect! It was great to have the ceremony, and reception right next to eachother, so guests didn't have to travel far. Honestly the view speaks for itself so you don't have to do a lot of decor, same with the lodge has its all glass windows! We worked with a lot of vendors who had done weddings the hotel, and most of the vendors were willing for the challenge of going and taking things up and down the gondola! We are so happy that we choose to get Married at Killington Peak, as we also got engaged at the top too! The staff at the peak was amazing, and made the night more memorable as we got them to come out and dance with us after dinner was done! It was great to share the night with everyone and definitely a wedding our guests are still talking about a month later!Killington Resort's reply:
Thanks Ashley - We are thrilled that you had such a wonderful wedding!
Congratulations!

Tracy Sent on 08/30/2018Our wedding at Killington Grand Resort was absolutely perfect. Our guests loved the venue and many stayed on for a few days to enjoy the resort. We have received so many compliments on the facility.
As for the planning and actual day of our wedding - I can not say enough about how amazing Sharon Mayer and the team at Killington are. Every aspect was handled perfectly. Even small details I planned to handle were taken care of for me. And everything was beyond my expectations.
Our rehearsal dinner was also at the resort and was a wonderful time as well.
Sharon was present at my ceremony to make sure everything went just right and she checked in with me during the reception to ensure we were happy. All of my vendors were experts managed and I never once had stress or anxiety about any details of my day.
You will not be disappointed if you chose to host your event at Killington -

Amanda Sent on 10/16/2017Killington Grand Hotel was an absolutely stunning location for not just the ceremony but also the cocktail hour and reception. We worked Katie and she was nothing less that exceptional! She even got us Sip O Sunshine and Pumpkin Beer which made our beer drinking guest wicked happy! Everyone is still talking about how amazing the food was. We also loved that everything was right there and neither us or our guests had to leave the resort. Look no further for your Vermont wedding!

Devin Sent on 08/18/2022Beautiful Venue
My husband and I absolutely loved Killington as our venue! In addition to the beautiful scenery we loved that the venue itself had everything on-site. Our guests still talk about how great the location was and that the food was delicious. There were plenty of rooms to accommodate our guests. The staff was friendly and helpful. We used the pond side ceremony site but were able to take the gondola to the top for photos for our first look and bridal party shots. -
