The Barn on the Pemi was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication was prompt, thorough, and professional, which set the tone for the entire process. On the day-of, the staff operated like a well-oiled machine, ensuring everything ran smoothly and allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. Our day-of planner Alexis was a delight to work with, keeping us on schedule and making sure every detail was as we wanted it. The venue itself is truly beautiful, with a warm, rustic vibe. The greenhouse is something special. The food was delicious, the transportation and lodging were convenient, and we couldn't have asked for a better overall experience. We're so grateful to the entire team!!! Thank you!!

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.

I will be honest, in the beginning after booking at Loon, I was nervous. I couldn't get in contact with the original individual I booked through, I was eventually told he left the resort. I worked with another person who then also left the resort - but none of this was communicated to me. I was coming from out of state and this made me quite nervous, but then John came in and took over the position and he was wonderful. He was communicative, answered all questions thoroughly and was a gem to work with. The views from the amphitheater are UNMATCHED. Our guests loved going on the gondola to the top of the mountain - this made it so unique. The food? Outstanding. My brother said, "that was the best prime rib I have ever had." While it was a little windy and cold at the top, no one really noticed because it was just so beautiful and perfect. If you are considering Loon Mountain, I highly recommend. We really had the best day. We have been snowboarding at Loon since childhood, but getting married there last weekend has made the mountain even more special.
