Attean Lake Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding! Josie was always responsive, reasonable and kind throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is a gorgeous, magical private oasis with spectacular views, charm and ambiance - all at an amazing price. Josie was super flexible and really allowed us to execute our day however we wanted, from hand picking the menu to assisting all of our guests with their bags and even making extra late night trips to pick up late arrivals. The entire staff at Attean were a complete joy to work with. Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true! The cabins are comfortable with stunning views, the food was out of this world, and we felt so welcome and comfortable as a queer couple. We wouldn't change a thing about our experience at Attean Lake Lodge.

My husband & I began working with Cranmore, Nathalie, & Kelly (their wonderful events coordinators) over a year ago when finalizing our decision to have our wedding weekend at Cranmore. From the start, communication was timely and efficient. Nathalie took the time to get to know us both as individuals, a couple, and what our vision for the weekend was. We opted to have our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and after party on site. Nathalie and the Cranmore team were so accommodating. My husband and several of our guests have celiac (so required gluten free options), which Chef Mike and Nathalie coordinated for every meal, appetizer, and dessert that we had. The food was delicious - we had a tasting a few months prior to our wedding weekend, which was personalized and meaningful. On our wedding day, Nathalie was nothing short of amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is sorted out and thought of. We had to make quick adjustments due to weather, which was seamlessly executed by facilities and Nathalie. The Summit of Cranmore, the lodge, zip's pub, and the patio behind the lodge are all stunning spaces for ceremonies and receptions. The location of Cranmore and ability to lodge guests so close was also a deciding factor for us - condos above the reception space are often rented out for guests, along with the Fairfield by Marriot hotel being steps away from the venue. We cannot thank the Cranmore team enough for making our wedding weekend the best days of our lives so far!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I searched for the perfect wedding venue, we had only two "requirements". A water and mountain view. It's easy to say that Brewster's newly renovated Rogers Building fits the bill perfectly. As a graduate of Brewster, it was incredible to see this space take on a new form that is perfectly designed for an array of purposes and functions. The general aesthetic is modern and sleek but also allowed us to decorate and customize the space for our reception. Having a kitchen and bar steps away from the seating area allowed for easy access to food and drinks while still having room for 20 guest tables and a dance floor. There was plenty of space for our DJ with ample room for speakers, uplighting, and more. The service we received was stellar. The kind staff was friendly and helpful throughout the night and went above and beyond to provide a quality atmosphere and fantastic food to our guests. My husband and I were thrilled to be the first couple to use this space for their wedding reception. We highly recommend the Rogers Building to couples who are looking for beautiful views, friendly service, modern amenities, and competitive rates.
