Awarded Best of Zola
I officiate the first wedding held on the upper vista deck. This venue offers a gorgeous backdrop of the sun setting on Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. After the ceremony the couple and wedding party went to the water's edge (50 yards away) for private photos. The staff made things run smoothly arranging chair and table set up. They provided rooms on the second floor for the couple to prepare before the ceremony and there was ample parking.

Soooo thankful to have found Rustic Pines for our destination wedding! Being from out of state we were a bit worried to be planning a wedding over 5 hours away, but Steph and her crew made it beyond easy. She was super prompt with answering any and all questions we had and took care of practically everything the day of. I received sooo many compliments on how beautiful the venue was, how good the drinks were and how kind and helpful all the staff were. I couldn’t recommend this venue enough! Thank you for truly making it the best day ever!
