Joe P. Sent on 10/16/2023Lake Bomoseen is the BEST!
Lake Bomoseen Lodge and Tap is the absolute best. We worked with Rebecca Field and she is a saint. We did not know where to start, and Rebecca gave us a roadmap of how to select vendors and kept us on track for our wedding. On the actual wedding weekend, Lake Bomoseen and the staff were fantastic. The entire staff knew who we were and each staff member wanted to make sure we were doing well. It was wonderful. The ceremony was on a weekend in October. The views were breath taking. We were able to use the hillside for the ceremony, the lakeside for the rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour, and the lodge for the reception. IT WAS ALL PERFECT! We got to see the mountains in the area, the beautiful lake, and be in the wonderful Lodge area. Because of Rebecca and the wonderful staff, there was ZERO stress on the wedding weekend. Any thing we needed, Lake Bomoseen provided for us. Even things that we did not think we needed! Everything was beautiful. The rooms that the wedding party stayed in were all perfect. The fire pits on the property were amazing and the fall foliage was breath taking. Everywhere we went at Lake Bomoseen was amazing. The added bonus was that we were able to take our puppies with us. They made perfect wedding party members. There are not enough good things to say about Lake Bomoseen Lodge and Taproom. If I could offer any advice, don't walk there, RUN and have your wedding here. You will not be disappointed. -

I can't say enough great things about Lake Bomoseen Lodge. I first discovered the venue as a guest, and a few years later when it came time to find a venue, I realized how Lake Bomoseen Lodge checked all our boxes, and it only seems to get better over time! If you're looking for a venue where all your guests can stay on site and enjoy a beautiful weekend, this is the place for you. Rebecca was our coordinator and she was so organized, responsive, and positive throughout the whole experience, no matter how many emails with random questions and check ins! The food, from the welcome cookout, big day, and goodbye brunch was wonderful and they offer so many options from locations, rain plans, bar options etc for many budgets. When we arrived for the wedding, everything went smoothly and I felt that I could let go and just enjoy the weekend, the staff really knows what they are doing. -

A Dream Come True!
Hands down the BEST wedding venue we could have imagined. If you’re looking for somewhere that has it all, look no further than Lake Bomoseen Lodge. First off- our coordinator Angela was a literal angel. From the day we toured the venue with her, to our menu tasting, to answering my many email questions, helping accommodate a last-minute hiccup in our plans, and throughout our entire rehearsal and wedding day, she was by our side and was truly irreplaceable. Lake Bomoseen Lodge has thought of everything. A beautiful outdoor ceremony site (of which there are multiple options to choose from), a phenomenal cocktail hour, rustic reception space, fantastic catering/bartending, and late-night pizzas in the taproom. Not to mention there’s on site lodging which made getting ready in the morning and keeping the party going the night of a breeze. The food was great, the customer service over the two years of planning was impeccable, and even the invoicing and payments were beyond easy. The Bomoseen team went above and beyond to let us tailor the day to our exact vision, and the ease of having everything all in one place was a dream. Again, Angela was the reason everything went off without a hitch. And a special shoutout to the lead bartender who worked our event- she was funny, kind, and made us feel like royalty on our wedding day. Our guests still can’t stop raving almost a month later about what an amazing team and venue it was. I would plan another event here in a heartbeat, and we can’t wait to come back and stay on the property again soon. -

Amazing Place to Celebrate our Wedding
Lake Bomoseen Lodge was the perfect place to have our wedding. Our coordinator, Angela, is an all star and was extremely responsive to changes in the schedule, rooms shuffles, location changes due to weather; she never missed a beat. She was kind and thorough in our communications and communications with our other vendors, we couldn’t have had a better coordinator.
The cocktails were smooth and well balanced, the beer selection was the best of Vermont, and our bartender for the weekend was kind and attentive.
The hors d’oeurves and main meals were great, the salmon and the little arancini balls were our favorites.
Lastly, the scenery was beautiful: over the lake, the sunsets, the old trees along the lake, the secluded hilltop ceremony site. The trees made a nice shady spot so no one was baking in the summer sun during our lakeside ceremony. We had a thunderstorm move the welcome reception the night before from under the tent to inside, but we lucked out on the day of the wedding with a beautiful sunny day.
We couldn’t recommend Lake Bomoseen Lodge enough.

The Wedding of Our Dreams
We had an incredible experience having our wedding at Lake Bomoseen Lodge in June 2023 (we are very late posting this!). We had been looking for a venue that would enable us to get married surrounded by nature, which would offer our friends and family a retreat where we could build community over the course of a weekend, and that would be affordable and flexible, and we found all of this at Lake Bomoseen Lodge.
First of all, the location is absolutely gorgeous, we had hoped to have our ceremony on the island but the weather turned out to be too uncertain on the day so we did it on the hilltop instead and it was still stunning. Because of the weather uncertainty, we had to make a very last minute call as to where our ceremony and cocktail hour would be, and Rebecca and the whole staff were super flexible and communicative in figuring that out.
Rebeca was also super flexible and communicative in the whole planning process. They didn't force any packages on us, let us pick and choose what we wanted to include, really didn't enforce any minimums, and even let us cut a few meals after the deadline because of a handful of last minute cancellations. They clearly were used to working with couples on a budget and were surprisingly accommodating to that reality compared to every other venue we spoke to throughout our search.
I also have to admit that I'm detail oriented to a fault and had tons of asks of Rebecca and the staff leading up to and throughout the weekend, and they accommodated all of them. On top of more typical wedding stuff I had a couple of surprises for my husband throughout the weekend, including a gift delivered to his get ready room and a surprise confetti moment on the dance floor, and Rebecca and team helped me execute all of it in addition to the one million other more standard wedding things they were dealing with.
I also have to say we were pleasantly surprised by the food. We went to one of their tasting weekends and thought the food was fine but it didn't blow us away; we were okay with that because we expected to have to compromise on something given our budget constraints. The beauty of the location and level of the support from the staff seemed well worth it to compromise a bit on food. But then the food at our actual wedding was fantastic, way better than the tasting. Our guests kept commenting on how good it was too.
Finally, I have to mention that we really wanted to have a private experience and feel like we had the place to ourselves, which is a big reason we didn't consider any of the big resorts in the area (in addition to their cost). We were a bit concerned at first about the fact that Lake Bomoseen does multiple weddings a weekend, we didn't want to feel like our wedding was constantly running into others. But the Lake Bomoseen staff really coordinated everything beautifully and made sure that didn't happen, and I think we got a feeling of the place being extra private because we had a Sunday wedding and by Sunday morning all the guests from other weddings had checked out. On our actual wedding day we truly had the run of the place and every single room was booked with our guests.
At the end of the day, we didn't wind up having to compromise on anything at all and truly had our dream wedding at Lake Bomoseen Lodge. -

The most beautiful venue
This is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Vermont, and we couldn't be happier that we chose it for our wedding. This was the first venue my husband and I looked at both online and in person, and we immediately knew we didn't have to look any further. While we lucked out with weather, there is absolutely nothing that could make this venue any less stunning. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting us on our choice, how smooth everything ran, the excellent accommodations, and the incredible food. In addition, our coordinator, Angela, was absolutely incredible. What a warm, relaxing presence in the midst of such a chaotic day - it felt like we had a close friend right there with us the whole time. She went absolutely above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it truly was better than we could've ever imagined. This venue truly is a one stop shop and it has it all. This was one of the best weekends of our whole lives and we couldn't have done it without anyone at the Lake Bomoseen Lodge. -

Beautiful venue with incredible staff
We could not more highly recommend the Lodge to anyone looking for their perfect wedding venue. Everything from our hillside ceremony to our lakeside cocktail hour, to the top floor of the lodge for the reception was breathtakingly beautiful. The food was wonderful, and every staff member that helped to plan and run our wedding was professional and incredibly helpful. One of the biggest perks of this venue is that it comes with your own personal wedding coordinator. Extra big shout out to ours, Angela, who was absolutely fantastic every step of the way -

Nicole W. Sent on 09/02/2022Such a Perfect Venue!
Lake Bomoseen Lodge was the absolute perfect place to have our wedding ceremony and reception. Not only is it an absolutely beautiful location, but the staff go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need. We worked with Rebecca for our wedding coordination, and she was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish.
We chose the hillside ceremony location, and the view was breathtaking. The bar and waitstaff on the day of were so friendly, and all of our guests raved about the food. We chose the location because they handled food, drinks, room accommodations (which were also updated and great), and we didn't have to travel to go between the ceremony and cocktail hour and reception - it really made for such a seamless day with no stress.
We got many compliments from guests saying "Best wedding I've ever been to!" and we owe many thanks to LBL for making our special day even better than we could imagine. If you are thinking about Lake Bomoseen Lodge for your wedding day definitely take a tour! We can't wait to be back. -

The perfect day, the perfect venue
If you are considering Lake Bomoseen Lodge as your wedding venue, don't look any further! We were so lucky to have had our wedding last summer at the Lodge - the employees were fantastic and made our wedding day perfect. Our guests loved staying on the venue with us and we were able to see family and friends all weekend. The guests loved the boat trips to the island for the reception! Last, but not least - our wedding coordinator, Angela, was so helpful and thorough with helping us plan our wedding - we didn't even need a wedding planner because of her! From months before the wedding to the day of (and even the day after) she was so helpful with whatever my husband and I wanted. We have had so many compliments about the beautiful and fun wedding that we had and we give most of the credit to Lake Bomoseen Lodge - THANKS! -

We are so incredibly grateful for all the work that Rebecca and Angela (our coordinators) as well as the rest of their staff did to make our wedding day so flawless. My husband and I were able to be in the moment and not worry about the little things, which was exactly what we wanted. Multiple guests raved about the food and how delicious it was as well as the accommodations. It was the perfect wedding weekend! Highly recommend!!! -

Margaret W. Sent on 02/04/2022Beautiful views, great experience
We absolutely loved having our wedding here! From the start, Rebecca was wonderful to work with as our Coordinator, always answering our emails and being available to jump on the phone to chat through any planning.
For the weekend we stayed in the Pine Cottage with a majority of our bridal party, and me and my bridesmaids got ready there the day of the wedding. I highly, highly recommend doing this! The house is so spacious and even our makeup artist and hair stylists mentioned how nice it was having so much space for everything.
For the wedding itself, the space is gorgeous. We had our ceremony on the hill and the views were so worth it. The reception space was exactly what we were looking for and the entire day ran so smoothly with Rebecca by our side! (Photos are by Jackie Fox Photography) -

Molly Q. Sent on 06/06/2022The best wedding view!!
I am so glad that we decided to go with Lake Bomoseen Lodge for our wedding weekend!! We had always dreamed of having an experience where all of our family and friends could stay on property, affordably, and we could enjoy the entire weekend together!
We booked our wedding back in November 2020(we planned for a long engagement), with Arden, however she ended up moving on, and Rebecca too over, and it was a seamless transition! Rebecca and the rest of the LBL team were amazing throughout the entire process, and we could not be happier! Being someone who works in the industry, I know all that goes on behind the scenes, and they nailed it all. They were responsive and attentive, and all could see that. From the initial planning, day of coordination, working with us on our first look , (shout out to Will for our buggie rides up and down!), keeping us on schedule and making us feel so important all day long!
Probably our favorite part was being able to be married out on the private island! I mean how many times can your guest have that experience of taking a boat to the ceremony?! All of our guests thought it was so cool, and loved the experience just as much as we did! Plus, you end up with some awesome photos!!!
I cannot recommend this place more!! -

Our son was married Aug 13th 2021 and the food was excellent! We had both rehearsal dinner and wedding there. The staff and crew was on hand and helpful. There were golf carts driven by staff to help get older members of family around and the wedding coordinator Catherine was very helpful and anticipated things we never thought about.. Top notch! -

If you're looking for a venue that prioritizes the values of flexibility, responsiveness, professionalism, and compassion, look no further. Lake Bomoseen Lodge, specifically Rebecca and Catherine, could not have provided us with a dreamier day. From cancelling our wedding in 2020 to drastically reducing our guest count in 2021, we had a stressful run of things. But LBL was there with us every step of the way, ensuring that our day was stress-free. I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else. Rebecca and Catherine, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It was perfect. -

Amazing location and great staff!
This place is amazing I don’t have any negatives. We looked for a Vermont location for awhile and The Lodge offered everything at a very affordable price. Their catering is sooo good. The appetizers during cocktail hour were incredible. I planned my own wedding and it was so nice to have everything offered by the same company. We had guests stay at the lodge, food, drinks, a cool ceremony site (on an island with boat rides!) and a brand new event hall. Also Taylor who was our contact person was so helpful and she was there for our wedding to help make sure everything went smoothly. It was an ideal location with a really professional staff who helped make the day perfect. I can’t think of any negatives. -

Sara A. Sent on 04/02/2020Excellent venue and staff!
I absolutely loved having our wedding at the Lake Bomoseen Lodge! The lake is gorgeous, and all of the accommodations and Tap Room have been recently renovated. The style is rustic chic, with a relaxing lake vacation vibe. I personally loved that we could rent out the big house on the property for the weekend of our wedding. It was amazing to have my family and bridal party all in one place, which was especially helpful when everyone was getting ready together before the ceremony. It was also great that I didn't have to rent a limo to get to my ceremony or reception space; it was all available at the same setting! Our guests loved that they could also stay in one of the rooms or cottages on the property. They raved about how nice the rooms were, and that it also felt like a mini vacation for them, as they were able to take advantage of the resort's amenities, including kayaking, swimming, and boat rides.
I can't say enough about how great the staff at the Lodge is! I worked with Taylor as my wedding coordinator—she was friendly, organized, and very professional. In the planning stages, whenever I had a question, she would immediately return my email or phone call. The weekend of my wedding, she was excellent at keeping events moving and making sure things went smoothly. The wait staff and bartenders were friendly, fun, and accommodating for all of my guests. I had a cocktail reception, and the chef made up an incredible menu of passed apps and table spreads of cheese, meats, dips, etc., that all of my guest with a variety of dietary needs and preferences enjoyed. The staff was also so helpful with setting up the venue space and coordinating with outside vendors, such as linens, DJ, and dessert caterers.
My husband and I highly recommend the Lake Bomoseen Lodge for your wedding. The beautiful venue, accommodations, and top quality staff will make your wedding day something that you and your guest will love and never forget! -

I can't say enough wonderful things about Arden, Taylor, and Ken at Lake Bomoseen Lodge. Arden and Taylor are great coordinators and bring ANY vision to life (they were willing to set up on the frozen lake for us for our winter wedding...no I'm not kidding!). Ken is an EXTRAORDINARY chef and even indulged us with a beer tasting, selecting amazing local brews to compliment our (delicious brunch!) meals. The location itself is BEAUTIFUL and the convenience of the lodging and pine cottage next door (hello, after party!) is unmatched. It seems cliche to give all 5's, but I cannot express enough how involved each team member was and how smoothly everything went on our perfect day!!! The reception space is beautiful, as well! 10/10, would recommend!!! -
Catherine Sent on 10/12/2018We have just returned from a beautiful wedding weekend at the Lake Bomoseen Lodge. I am the mother of the groom and I cannot say enough good things about this facility, the staff and the food.
Accommodations: My husband and I and our large extended family stayed at Pine Cottage right next door to the Taproom and Reception room. This home has been totally redone inside while still keeping some of its rustic charm. Many of our guests stayed on the property in the condos and rooms overlooking the lake. All were very happy with their accommodations.
Rehearsal Dinner: Friday, October 5th above the Tap Room. We went with the Pasta Bar dinner. We weren't sure about this however Arden, the Event Planner convinced me that this was a really nice dinner. It was great with enough of a selection for everyone, even the kids.
Wedding: Saturday, October 6th at 3pm. The ceremony was outside by the lake. You could not find a more beautiful setting for a wedding. After the ceremony we moved inside to the Taproom for drinks and appetizers as rain was in the forecast. From there we went up to the reception room on the top floor for the reception. The room is beautiful and was beautifully decorated by the bride's mom with help from the wedding party and family. It also has a large balcony that many guests made use of. The food was awesome – from the salad to the entrees to the dessert table, everything was perfect. The Prime rib was excellent.
I would highly recommend this facility for any big event. (We had approximately 130 people) Arden the event planner was so easy to work with. Amy, the banquet manager was excellent. The staff was also incredibly good. Service was top notch.
We did have open bar for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception.
