Short notice, low budget, small, no frills kind of wedding
My wife and I decided we wanted to get married and with family from both sides invited (and living in different states) we needed to find some sort of neutral ground that would be “equally inconvenient” for everyone on short notice. From initial discussion to wedding day was only about 6 weeks. We wanted simple and to the point. As it happened, one of our most favorite places (Deep Creek) was almost exactly the same distance to drive for everyone on both sides. I called and spoke to Lisa who told me the date we wanted was available and that they could make anything we wanted happen and emailed me the information quickly. My emails and phone calls were always answered by her team promptly and overall, they were a pleasure to deal with. They really did make this a simple and straight forward process from start to finish. We exchanged vows off site (though Lisa had some great options had we decided to conduct the ceremony at the resort) and then everyone drove over for a great catered meal. We chose the meal option of the Prime Rib and BBQ Chicken. The food was amazing. The room was set up perfectly and we weren’t rushed at all. We were allowed to do our own thing and we could have decorated or re-arranged any way we wanted. On our event day, we spotted a fireplace in the main dining hall that we wanted to take some pictures in front of and they immediately lit it to accommodate our request.
I would highly recommend Wisp to anyone looking to host a wedding (or other event).
*note - we didn’t think to take any pictures before our catered lunch to show off the room and the pictures that were taken didn’t capture enough to show off. -

Lisa and the resort is amazing!
My husband and I got married at Wisp on 10/01/2022. We could not be happier with how our day turned out. Leading up to the wedding, Lisa met with us in early 2021 and was extremely professional, friendly and informative. Later when we booked with the venue, we asked for a food tasting and they said they don’t usually offer that. However they were extremely accommodating and prepared an elaborate food tasting for my husband, mom and dad. Lisa and Larissa respond to emails promptly and find answers to questions in a timely manner. The resort itself has so much to offer. The resort is nicely kept and has an everlasting source of natural beauty. Lisa and Larissa were supportive in helping me decide when and where to move my ceremony as it was raining and forecasted to rain for the next 24 hours into our wedding date. I was unsure about one of the venue spots for the ceremony but Lisa and Larissa assured me to it would like beautiful. They were right. It all looked so stunning. Highly recommend Lisa and her team!!Wisp Resort's reply:
Thank you Megan! It was a pleasure to host your special day. It was an amazing day for an amazing couple. We wish you and Eric the best! -

Perfect Covid Wedding
Lisa and Wisp resort was a life saver! Like many 2020 brides I had to postpone my large wedding in San Diego and reschedule back on the east coast so our immediate families could drive. I contacted Lisa about 6 weeks prior to our wedding date and she was able to pull together a team, make recommendations for food and local vendors. She made planning a destination wedding so simple and took away all my worries of not seeing the site prior to our wedding day. The actual day went perfect! We had perfect weather for the mountain top ceremony. All my guests loved the bonfire and s’mores post reception instead of dancing. Covid couldn’t stop us from having a small wedding with immediate family. -

Janel our coordinator has been absolutely fantastic. We tasted our menu for the reception and were blown away. We can't wait to see the whole set up and enjoy our special day and all the activities -

Nothing but great things to say.
It was an absolutely perfect day from start to finish. All of the staff were great! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly. The ceremony site at the top of mountain is breathtaking. We took the chairlift down to the reception. It was perfect and a needed few mins to relax with my husband. (It would be nice if the chairlift was included in the package.)
The food was delicious. We had our reception in the yurt. There was a cocktail hour and snacks at the end of the night along with an abundance of dinner food of course. After the reception we had a bonfire. It was a great way to end the night!
The wedding coordinators where extremely helpful and great to work with! Many friends and family have told us since that it was their favorite wedding they had ever been to. We would very highly recommend! So very glad we had our wedding at Wisp!
We used Trish at Petal Branch for flowers, Higher Focus Studios photography, Mountain Flour for cake and Paul McGrady DJ. I could never say enough good things about each of these vendors. Absolutely loved them!!! -

S Sent on 04/05/2018Everything was great! We had our ceremony at the top of the ski slope with such a beautiful view. Our reception was in the yurt village. Food was good. Everything went smoothly, the people we worked with at Wisp were professional and made sure everything was organized.
Also it was so convenient how they have a hotel right there at Wisp. Our wedding party and guests stayed there. :) -

Erin Sent on 07/09/2017The WISP Resort is a BEAUTIFUL setting to have a wedding ceremony and reception. Whether it is indoors (ours was in the "Mountain Mist Tent" and it was very elegant...just what I wanted) or outdoors on top of the mountain, they work hand-in-hand with you to make sure your special day is planned just how YOU want it. We got so many compliments from our guests about the venue, the wedding ceremony itself and the FOOD!!! People talked A LOT about how delicious the food was (especially the Prime Rib)! We are locals in the Deep Creek area and do not live too far away from the WISP.
I wanted to stay in the area and compared other locations and venues to the WISP and nothing came close to the convenience and amenities that the WISP had to offer us for our wedding. Everything from the bridal party stay in the hotel the evening before, to the wedding ceremony and reception in the Mountain Mist Tent, the private Cocktail Hour for the wedding party in a yurt nearby, late night pizza for the heavy party-goers, to the newlyweds having a complimentary room at the hotel the night of the wedding. It was all in ONE location, which is what I was looking for. All we had to do at the venue was decorate...no set-up, tear down, trash collection, having to bring in our own alcohol, NONE OF THAT (which is what many of the other local venues were expecting you to do). It was all included! I'd recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful setting with wonderful people to work with! -

Savannah Sent on 04/19/2018The Wisp wedding team and venue is nothing short of phenomenal. Every step of the way, the team helped to provide us with resources and ideas for our wedding in just a short time of 3 months. The food was delicious and has many compliments from our guests on our food chooses (we chose a bbq them). The staff was very accomidating with helping the reception site look the way we had invisioned and also allowed us to extend our reception a little longer than we had originally planned. The day could not have gone any smoother or more perfect.

Kathleen Sent on 04/02/2018We had such a great experience with Wisp Resort hosting our wedding last Spring 2017. They were so professional and on top of everything! Everything was set up exactly as we asked and any extras were never dismissed. Our family and friends couldn't have been happier with the results, we'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an elegant and charming mountain resort wedding. Thanks Wisp!!! :-)

User2250322 Sent on 07/31/2015Wisp Resort was hands down the best place to get married. Our wedding coordinator, Andrea, was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating. When she had to take maternity leave about a month before our wedding, Kelsey was able to step in and was just as great. I am very detail oriented and appreciate getting things done way in advance so there are no last minute worries, and both Andrea and Kelsey were there every step of the way with me and really stayed on top of things. Our first encounter with the resort was actually with Lisa who showed us the property and answered any questions we had. Despite that summer day being cold and rainy, she promised us that if we booked at Wisp, Andrea would make sure the weather on our wedding day was perfect...well we booked and she did not disappoint as it was sunny, there were puffy clouds in the sky and the temperature was around 75 degrees! It was a great day for us and the guests to take a chairlift ride up to the ceremony at the top of the mountain and for the reception in the Mountain Mist Tent. It was beautiful and the guests were so happy as well. Everyone is still raving about the food and the awesome service and many said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Thank you so much for making our day so perfect and one we'll never forget! -
User1759858 Sent on 08/11/2014Everything about our ceremony and reception was just perfect. We did not have to worry about a thing - the staff, and especially the wedding coordinator Andrea, took great care of all of our guests and of us. We had our ceremony at the Mountain Top site, and our guests were in awe of the view. The Lodge made for an impressive reception venue - the food was excellent, the ice cream sundae bar was a hit, and everyone had a fantastic time. -
User1629513 Sent on 05/23/2014If you are looking for the perfect Deep Creek wedding, book it at Wisp Resort! A bride is under a lot of stress planning a wedding, and Wisp Resort and their Wedding Coordinator, Andrea Fitzwater, took all of that stress away! I can't describe the amount of professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, expertise, responsiveness, kindness, and care this Resort and their staff offers. The staff was absolutely incredible. It's been a month since my wedding and my family and friends are still talking about how they want to plan a vacation their, simply because the staff was just so amazing. They really went over the top. Andrea was the best part though. We considered a few different places in Deep Creek to get married, and we decided on Wisp Resort entirely because of Andrea. She was so responsive and caring from the first time I talked to her, that I couldn't have possibly gotten married anywhere else! When you plan a wedding, you want to know you will be taken care of and in good hands. And that's just what I felt with Andrea. She truly cares and wants your wedding to be unforgettable and perfect. She was available via phone and email the entire process. And the wedding day, she was there to make sure all of the little hiccups were taken care of and I was not the one dealing with them (even though, as far as I know, nothing went wrong!!). Our wedding was beautiful and flawless, exactly what everyone wants for their special day. I wish that I could relive it at Wisp Resort every single day! Truly an amazing and unique experience - I guarantee any future wedding held here will be just as perfect as mine was!
