“The Whiteface Club and Resort was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication was thorough, prompt and timely, putting our minds at ease throughout the planning process.

“We had our August 2024 wedding at River Ranch in Lake Placid and are so stoked they have since received their wedding permit. We rented the house and land for five days, which gave us time to settle in, celebrate, and create the wedding exactly how we wanted. We loved skipping the usual restrictions and frustrations of a traditional venue and doing everything our way. With an amazing local wedding planner, a top-of-the-line clear tent, and the best caterer from downstate, our custom tented wedding came together perfectly. The High Peaks views were unreal, and River Ranch is truly one of the most unique Lake Placid wedding venues.”
