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.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Barn on the Pemi is an absolute joy to work with for weddings. I've worked there for quite a few years now, and every wedding wedding is efficient and fun. It always feels like BOTP is my work "home away from home." Their communication was quick, timely, and thoroughly responsive throughout the planning process. The venue itself is a stunning combination of rustic barn and beautiful greenhouse space - I love photographing in their amazing property. They are highly organized, the views are amazing and created a beautiful backdrop for every event. Plus, they are dog friendly! I cannot recommend The Barn on the Pemi enough for any couple looking for a unique and unforgettable wedding venue.

My husband and I got married at Okemo in August 2025, and we couldn’t recommend it more! The resort is absolutely stunning—the grounds are beautifully maintained, the location is incredibly convenient, and the town of Ludlow is adorable. Since most of our guests were traveling from out of town, having everyone stay in one place for the entire weekend was priceless. Our guests loved the variety of activities at the resort, how easy it was to pop into town, and the many room options available at Jackson Gore Inn. What truly sealed the deal for us, though, was the wedding team at Okemo. Kim Vezina worked closely with my mom and me throughout the whole planning process. Our monthly and weekly Zoom calls with her kept us organized and completely at ease. On the wedding day, Kim was with me every step of the way—solving problems on the fly and making everything run smoothly. My husband and I also wanted our first look at the top of the mountain, and Kim handled every detail to make it happen. She is truly on your team! Redmond was also incredibly helpful the entire wedding weekend, always available for anything we needed through set up. The food and bar service were excellent—plated quickly, delicious, and the team was wonderful to work with as we chose our menu. Okemo is truly an underrated wedding venue. It’s a one-stop shop for an unforgettable experience—flexible, personable, and professional from start to finish. Could not recommend it more!

The Greatful Dane Lodge was an amazing wedding venue for our special day. The owners were incredibly outgoing and understanding throughout the entire planning process, which helped to ease any stressful times. The venue itself is spacious, elegant, and charming - the grounds are beautiful and the interior is absolutely stunning.
