20/10 recommend getting married on the Mountain Top! The venue in and of itself is a DREAM. The staff and servers went above and beyond. Shout out to the events coordinator manager, Danny, who quite literally was always smiling and checking in on us our entire wedding weekend. My husband and I live out in Seattle, but we’re both from Massachusetts. We wanted somewhere in New England that has that rugged mountain landscape, but also somewhere everyone could join us for the whole weekend. I’m so obsessed with it here, can’t WAIT to come back! We used Meadows Edge Florals for our flowers/decorations, and I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Gayle and her team. We used Juniper Studios for photography and Angela and Idena’s talents are something I can’t even put into words. Best decisions I’ve ever made.

If you’re considering Vanderkamp for your wedding, stop looking, you’ve found the place. From before we even arrived until the moment we left, every single person on the Vanderkamp team treated us like family, ESPECIALLY AILEEN. It wasn’t just great customer service; it was genuine care. They cared about us, our families, and our wedding just as much as we did. Knowing that allowed us to truly relax and soak in every second of the weekend. Everything ran flawlessly. There wasn’t a single hiccup. The entire day stayed on schedule, transitions were seamless, and we never once had to worry about what was happening behind the scenes because the staff had everything under control. They made what could have been a stressful day feel effortless. Our guests are still talking about the wedding. We’ve heard from countless people that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and one of the biggest reasons was the incredible experience Vanderkamp created. The food was absolutely unbelievable, everyone was raving about it all weekend long. And then there’s the property itself. Calling them “cabins” doesn’t do them justice—they’re beautiful lodges with incredible attention to detail. Every building, every view, and every corner of the property feels peaceful, welcoming, and magical. There is something so special about this place that you simply have to experience for yourself. Vanderkamp gave us far more than a wedding venue—it gave us the greatest weekend of our lives and memories our families will cherish forever. In fact, before we even left, our family had already started planning a trip back because none of us wanted the weekend to end. This place will always have a piece of our hearts. Thank you to every single member of the Vanderkamp team for making our dream wedding even better than we could have imagined. We are forever grateful. We love you, Vanderkamp
