“Sugarbush is a beautiful venue with mountain views and space to accommodate all your wedding events. We kicked off the weekend with a golf outing at Sugarbush Resort Golf Club followed by our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks at Castlerock Pub. Our ceremony was at the bottom of the mountain, but we were able to do our first look and couple photos at the top. Emma and the entire Sugarbush team was amazing! From the attention to detail our wedding coordinator helped with to the timeline and overall service, we were extremely impressed with the weekend. It was so special having all our family and friends stay at Clay Brook Hotel, which made all the wedding events easy for guests to get to. The hotel was spacious and the staff was welcoming and accommodating to our guests needs. Our wedding weekend was better than we could have ever imagined!”

“When I asked my photographer if there was anything I should know about working with Mountain Top Resort, she said, “Oh, you’ve struck gold with them.” At the time, I thought it was just vendors being kind to one another. Now, I know that we really did strike gold. From start to finish, Mountain Top Resort wanted to accommodate us. Before touring, I asked if their catering team would be open to an all-vegetarian wedding. They confirmed that it wouldn’t be a problem and even welcomed us to add additional meal options to their list so that we could incorporate our favorite meals into our day. The team was excited to take on a new task to help make the event feel like us. Leading up to the big day, email correspondence was quick and helpful. We asked a ton of questions, and we were never made to feel like a burden. In the 2 weeks leading up to our wedding, our coordinator Zoey let us know that our day-of coordinator would be Elizabeth. We were both a little nervous to switch from one coordinator to another, but it’s clear the team is just that: a team. Elizabeth picked up all the details and connected with us to make sure she had our vision clear in her mind. Right from the start of the ceremony rehearsal, it was clear she’d studied our choices! She cared about the details, and made sure our day was full of fun, joy, and support. When we forgot to bring our printed thank-you speech to reception, she said, “No problem, email it to me and I’ll print it right now.” When we weren’t able to finish our dinners, she packaged them up and sent them along to the house we were staying at. Elizabeth supported us without ever being overbearing. We both knew that the whole day was handled without us needing to worry about a thing, so we could focus on each other and our guests. We are so grateful we got to have you coordinate our wedding! Thank you, Elizabeth! Photo credits: Idena Beach (@idenabeachphotography) & Gabby Coughenour (@winding.roads.photography)”

“We had an absolutely flawless wedding at The Essex, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! A huge part of that was our event manager, Katarina. From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and very organized. She was always responsive and understanding, and we genuinely felt like she was in our corner throughout the entire process. One thing we especially appreciated was how much she acted as an ally and buffer for us. She handled guest questions and issues thoughtfully so that we could stay focused on enjoying our wedding instead of worrying about little things. Having someone we trusted like that made a huge difference! The Essex itself was also fantastic! Having our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and after party all on the same property made the whole experience seamless for everyone involved. The food was also a huge hit! Our guests raved about the food throughout the night and afterward. The venue was beautiful, the staff was wonderful, and everything came together exactly the way we had hoped it would! We had multiple guests tell us that it was the best wedding they had been to, which says everything. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful to Katarina and the entire team at The Essex for helping to make our wedding weekend so special!”

We wanted a venue that could sleep all of our guests and highlighted outdoor activities and vibes. Outbound Stowe was the perfect venue!
