Defiance Hall is a remarkable setting for a special event. Having attended a Scottish dinner there, I was amazed at the meticulous renovations that have gone into preserving and repurposing this spacious historic building, once a 1820's sawmill located between Forts Crown Point and Ticonderoga. The attention to detail and quality of the work and interior furnishings are impressive while rustic and comfortable, not to mention the fact that War Cannon Spirits produces fine small batch whiskeys and bourbons in their nearby distillery! Having worked with the owner to help organize the Burns Night dinner, I can also say that the crew is easy and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend choosing this venue for weddings and special events, it truly is a gem!

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.

Staff all around is the best staff you can ask for. Chef Dave, I will never stop craving his tenderloin! He truly has a passion of making the best food for each wedding. Our guest still text me about all his food. Brittany was amazing. I had last minute changes out of my control and she always found the best way to make things work! Tim the Banquet manager was always around ready to make sure it all ran smoothly. Ryan the lift operations manager kept Brittany updated on the weather day of and when it didn’t look good at the bottom he drove up to make sure he truly had say no to us going to the summit (it was 30 degrees with 45 kt winds) he and his crew opened the lift for 2 hours the next day so we could still get our summit pictures and they all had smiles on their faces. Truly every staff member had an impact in making our day more than we could of dreamed for! Overall, Hunter Mountain Resort provided an exceptional experience and incredible value, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding

Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! From the moment we started planning, Stephanie made us feel welcomed, supported, and truly valued. Stephanie is absolutely amazing- she is quick to communicate, incredibly detail-oriented, enthusiastic, and always open to bringing our ideas to life.

From our first conversation with Nick, we knew Snow Farm Vineyard was the right choice for our wedding. He was patient and clear throughout the entire year of planning, answering every question we threw at him without hesitation. On our wedding day, Nick was there from start to finish, helping us vendors and keeping everything running smoothly. We loved that they allowed us to bring in our own florist and caterer, which gave us total creative control. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, intimate and remote, yet only 30 minutes from Burlington, and the wine selection is incredible. Between the reasonable pricing, the beautiful tent, the connected inn for the wedding partygoers , and Nick's genuine care for making our day special, Snow Farm Vineyard exceeded all of our expectations.
