Snowhill Farm was the perfect venue for our small wedding. From the moment we reached out, the team provided fast, clear communication, answering all of our questions quickly and making us feel right at home. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - a beautifully preserved and maintained very large home set on sprawling, manicured grounds. Everything we needed was available, from getting ready suites to a gorgeous ceremony site to a glamorous reception space. The level of service and attention to detail was impeccable, and our guests raved about the beauty and elegance of the entire day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage. Snowhill Farm is truly a gem, and we highly recommend it to any couple looking for a breathtaking, stress-free wedding experience.

We had our August 2024 wedding at River Ranch in Lake Placid and are so stoked they have since received their wedding permit. We rented the house and land for five days, which gave us time to settle in, celebrate, and create the wedding exactly how we wanted. We loved skipping the usual restrictions and frustrations of a traditional venue and doing everything our way. With an amazing local wedding planner, a top-of-the-line clear tent, and the best caterer from downstate, our custom tented wedding came together perfectly. The High Peaks views were unreal, and River Ranch is truly one of the most unique Lake Placid wedding venues.

Wow! We got married on 8/16/2025 and still cannot stop talking about how incredible our wedding day/weekend was. Alex and Maureen are top notch. From the first conversation to the last, they always treated us as if we were their only customer and if you know GA, you know they have LOTS of weddings. To have support from two professionals throughout a huge and expensive event, means the world. They were so accommodating, always quick to respond, got to know us, were present the entire wedding day (even helping serve appetizers), and always checking in. What really made a huge impression, was how busy GA was on our wedding day but how in the moment our wedding began, it felt like time stood still for us. Every guest stopped in their tracks, was beyond respectful, quiet and stood back and away from the north lawn. It was amazing how truly beautiful and perfect it was. Now… the food. WOW!!! Huge portions and INCREDIBLE food! Guests have not stopped talking and raving about it all - from the charcuterie board to the sliders, arancini balls, filet, etc., it was all the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding. Drinks… GREAT!!! No lack of alcohol here. Old fashions were made by hand, not a pre mix. We truly were blown away from start to finish. BOOK GOLDEN ARROW!!!! Thank you so much for the best experience, staff, accommodations and simply being the best.

The Inn at Erlowest was the perfect venue for our special day. From signing to the day of, the staff was efficient, organized, and friendly in their communication - especially the onsite wedding coordinator. LeAnna and her team were so knowledgeable and good at their jobs that I never stressed about the event. All good vibes! They helped coordinate all of our details; from the night before BBQ, to table linens to photographs of two large families, keeping everything running smoothly and on time. The venue itself is breathtaking. Guests are still telling us that they’re never seen a more beautiful ceremony location, and the reception space is a perfect mix of elegant and down to earth that we were aiming for. The staff truly helped make this the best day of our lives by creating a seamless, stress-free event that allowed us to focus on celebrating with our loved ones. If anything event wrong, I have no idea!

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.

My husband and I got married at Juniper Springs Wedding Barn on September 28, 2025. Matt helped us along every step of the way and was so easy to work with. He always responded right away and was happy to give advice and recommendations when we asked. His day of coordinator Rachel was incredible and made us feel so well taken care of. She was there anytime we needed anything and helped the timeline run exactly to plan. The grounds are beautifully taken care of and the barn is so stunning it speaks for itself. I hardly needed any decor to make it feel magical. The ceremony site near the pond was the perfect backdrop. Our guests had a wonderful time by the fire pit and we danced the night away in the barn. Cleanup at the end of the night was arranged and my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! We would highly recommend this venue!!
