Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! From the moment we started planning, Stephanie made us feel welcomed, supported, and truly valued. Stephanie is absolutely amazing- she is quick to communicate, incredibly detail-oriented, enthusiastic, and always open to bringing our ideas to life. Her excitement and genuine care made the planning process so enjoyable and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible staff behind it. Every detail was handled with care, and we felt confident knowing we were in such good hands. Stephanie and the team went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

We had our September 2025 tented wedding at River Ranch in Lake Placid and honestly could not have picked a better Adirondack wedding venue. We were so happy they received their wedding permit, and the land-only rental gave us the freedom to create the entire wedding exactly how we wanted, from the tent and ceremony setup to cocktail hour and reception. The High Peaks views were unreal, the property felt private and spacious, and our guests could not stop talking about the scenery. If you are looking for a Lake Placid wedding venue for a custom tented wedding in the Adirondacks, River Ranch is truly one of a kind.

The McKenzie Wilderness Estate was the wedding venue of my dreams! It was so unique compared to any other venue I’ve ever seen before, and the owners (Jessi and Sean) make you feel like family.

If you’re lucky enough to have your ceremony up on the hill with the mountains in the background, that alone will seal the deal and have you looking no further!
