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.

My fiancé and I are getting married at Marshall Mountain Resort on 09/19/26. Our story with MMR started when the original venue we had booked unexpectedly fell through. I attended a family member’s wedding at this venue 10 years ago when it was still branded as MKJ Farms. Having knowledge of the venue, and with my dream and desire to get married at a rustic barn venue, I reached out to Stephanie inquiring about availability and she has been nothing short of amazing during this entire process so far. She has promptly answered every text/phone call. She fit us in for a tour right away. It’s plain to see that she has her whole heart into what she does. The entire property is impeccable. The venue was beautiful 10 years ago, but we are very excited to experience all of the updates. We are thrilled that we get to celebrate our special day at MMR!

When looking for a venue, we did not a barn. Then we stumbled upon the Heritage barn and met the Dunham family and instantly knew this is where we wanted to have our wedding. It truly was the best weekend of our lives and we had so much fun! Every single detail was exactly how we wanted it thanks to Allie and Ken and the rest of the crew. They worked with our vendors to make sure our day was perfect. If we could host another event there we totally would. We booked the venue for the entire weekend so we were able to stay on property Friday and Saturday night with all of our best friends. My husband and I had the honeymoon cottage for the night of our wedding and it was so cute! Best weekend ever.

Our wedding weekend here was nothing short of perfect, and we owe so much of that to this incredible venue and their team. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of—stress-free, smiling ear to ear, and overwhelmingly grateful for the people making it all possible. Every detail was handled with such care—from coordination and organization to thoughtful touches throughout the weekend. The setting itself is stunning—the views left our guests in awe—and the food was absolutely fantastic. Having the chance to celebrate with our loved ones over an entire weekend, instead of just a few hours, was truly priceless. Goat yoga ended up being one of the most talked-about events, and our guests are still raving about it. The staff deserves the highest praise. Brandon, Katie, John, and Shelby went above and beyond to make us and our families feel welcome and supported. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless. Their list of trusted vendors also made planning so much easier, and we truly couldn’t have imagined a better fit for our celebration. Their help through the planning process was instrumental in planning a wedding weekend in just 5 months!! Our guests are still asking how we found such a magical place, and the truth is—we feel incredibly lucky. We are endlessly grateful to the entire team for making our wedding not just smooth, but truly the best weekend of our lives. If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking views, amazing food, incredible accommodations, and a staff that makes you feel like family—look no further. Choosing this venue was the single best decision we made for our wedding.

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
