Dream wedding venue!!
LPL (especially Eden!!) creates a dream for our wedding. We coordinated almost everything from a distance, and she made sure everything was beyond perfect. We stayed at the lodge, had our ceremony and reception there, and had Chef do our food and cake. The process was easy, communication was spectacular. Eden made me feel like a queen and made everything go so smoothly, even when the button on my dress broke 5 minutes before the ceremony (of course someone was there from LPL so repair it in time!) When we realized the night before we didn’t have table cards or menus, Eden made them and had them ready! There were more special touches than I can possibly list, and we can’t wait to return to the Lodge for many years to come. -

Emily Sent on 02/12/2018When we walked into Lake Placid Lodge we knew instantly that this is where we wanted to get married. The lodge is so beautiful, and rustic, and cozy. Each room is prettier than the next - from the fireplaces, to the antique rugs, to the rustic furniture .. you will feel like you are secluded in your own cozy winter wonderland. For our small, intimate wedding we knew we wanted something special - and Lake Placid Lodge was just that.
The planning process was a bit complicated. Perhaps I'm just an over organized person, but I often felt like I had to follow up with multiple emails and reminders in order to get answers. The lack of communication meant most of our planning was unfortunately left for the last two weeks - which caused a bit of chaos. There were billing errors (we were charged too much - twice), and food errors (a course was left out), and other timing errors - BUT nothing significant enough to damper the big day. Ashley (who took over for Chris as the coordinator) and CJ (the general manager) were WONDERFULLY accommodating. Their hospitality more than made up for any of our planning frustrations.
The food was wonderful, our guests raved about the venue, and the atmosphere was PERFECT for our simple rustic winter wedding. Lake Placid Lodge is VERY expensive compared to other venues in the location, but if we had to do it all over again we would 100% do it exactly the same. Sometimes location and venue are worth the price, hiccups and all. My advice: don't be afraid to follow up again and again, double check your receipts, make lists of everything you brought and want to take home. If you are lucky enough to have your wedding at Lake Placid Lodge, your day will be absolutely breathtaking. -

We loved our February wedding at Lake Placid Lodge in the end but it was a bit of work to get there. We picked our wedding date 60 days out and were thrilled LPL was available and was quick to respond and get us most of the information we needed to make a decision quickly. I’m guessing it was the short lead time that lead to the issues we had. The main issue is there’s a small room block minimum but they won’t do a booking promo code so my guests which ended up being 10 or so rooms had to go through me to get the discounted rate before they could decide if they wanted to stay at the Lodge. At contract signing we had to know the room types we wanted to hold for our guests and pay for them in full in our deposit with a refund at the end of the event for guests that paid own - all but two rooms. This added an extreme amount of stress on me as I had to deal with family asking me room type questions and rates because we weren’t given the number for them to call to book until we had signed the contract with the room types & assigned guest names. Also, the rate we were quoted was not always better than the rate online and our discounted rate wasn’t guaranteed until the contract was signed. But we couldn’t sign the contract until people picked their rooms. But they couldn’t pick their rooms because the discounted $400+ rate kept changing. Get it? Me either. It was a very backwards way of booking rooms and was more work for me and my family. I also feel the wedding planner was a little intense and not very flexible. She was often frustrating to work with in planning up until it was wedding time. The event was flawless, she took care of a lot of the little details for set up that was a huge relief and time saver for us. The venue is astounding, the food was delicious, guests were sledding at the rehearsal dinner in dresses and making s’mores outside even though it was 10°. Such a fun experience for everyone! The breakfast staff was so accommodating fitting us all in, moving tables, remembering our preferences. The concierge was so kind and would help lighten my stressed out mood. The car service to take you to town and pick you up is a great perk. We stayed in a cabin and liked being removed from the property and it wasn’t an inconvenience at all. All our guests said it was one of the most remarkable and memorable weddings they’ve been too. I would highly recommend booking a wedding here but I hope my experience helps improve yours. I really hope they can improve their room booking process. Or when you get the rates for the rooms just reserve every room and sign the contract. You can cancel any rooms over your minimum block two weeks out and get a full refund - but you don’t know this until you get the contract. Also, a really Type A bride will likely clash with the wedding planner. -
