“Marcia and her team at the Marriott helped make our day amazing! She was very patient with us and our multiple changes along the way. The chef, bartenders, servers, and everyone in between did a lovely job at both our welcome event and our reception. While some communication was difficult along the way, Marcia really prioritized us in the couple weeks leading up to the wedding. If we could redo, we would have our wedding here again.”

“When we first toured the Carriage House as a potential venue, it was a snowy January day (the opposite of the June wedding day we were touring for) but we could see the vision of space and fell in love with it. Keilana and Dawn were so easy to work with from the initial tour all the way through to picking up our stuff the day after the wedding. They were always available to answer any of our questions, no matter how small. They broke down the planning into parts, so it never felt overwhelming and they were always very clear about what information they needed and when. From the tasting day where we got to imagine how the space would be set up for our wedding, to the final walk through where we went through every detail of the wedding day, Keilana and Dawn were professional and enthusiastic, and we knew that our wedding was in good hands. Having the reception at the Carriage House meant many of our out of state guests were staying at the hotel which made the weekend even more fun, continuously running into people we knew throughout the weekend! Our guests raved about the beautiful cocktail hour outside, the lake views from the reception space, the delicious food, and that even with 200 people there was never a line at the bar when guests went to get a drink! The entire reception ran so smoothly, and we had an amazing time. We could not have picked a better location for our wedding reception, and we would highly recommend the Carriage House at Fort William Henry to other couples!! Thank you, Keilana and Dawn!

“From the moment we started planning, Rachael at Hiland Park Country Club made the entire process feel effortless. She answered every question promptly and was genuinely kind throughout our conversations, which made us feel confident in our choice. On our wedding day, Matt and Kaisa took everything to the next level—they had our bridal and groom suites stocked and ready, handled all the decor setup beautifully, and were there to solve any little issues that popped up. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and the team's flexibility with our timeline and willingness to help with last-minute adjustments meant we could actually enjoy the day instead of stressing. We can't thank the entire Hiland Park team enough for making our wedding feel so special and stress-free.
