The mountain top ceremony is unbeatable and unique. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Food was fantastic and the rustic atmosphere at the lodge provided perfectly cozy ambience for a night to never forget. It's been a few months since we got married and we're still daydreaming about our whole experience there!

We had an absolutely perfect wedding day at Windham Mountain. Our wedding was one of the first under the new mountain management (July 8th, 2023) and they totally knocked it out of the park! They honored our contract and pricing with the previous owners after several discussions.

Coordination: Leading up to our wedding, Erika was an absolute dream to work with - we were really appreciative of her flexible schedule for calls and visits with our hectic work schedules. She was so patient as we were working to bring on vendors on a pretty tight timeline and ironing out details. She even managed to get our favorite local craft beers on tap! We had a somewhat unique schedule - we hosted our ceremony in our backyard and then brought people up the ski lift for a toast at the top of the mountain, cocktail hour at the base, and dinner and dancing in the Club Room and all of the movement between locations was completely seamless.

Food: It was so nice to be able to taste the menu in advance and finalize our decisions. If you have the time to do this - I highly recommend it! Chef Shamus is phenomenal - our cocktail hour food was absolutely delicious (and plentiful!) and dinner was delightful. I have no idea how he cooked perfect steaks and fish for 110 people at once, but he did! Our guests (many of whom are super picky) continue to compliment the food at our wedding. They were also incredibly accommodating of allergies, kosher eaters, etc. The whole serving and bartending staff were so kind, friendly. and fun!

Location: In addition to the food, the other thing our guests haven't been able to stop talking about was the ski lift ride to the top of the mountain. It was such a unique experience and the group shot we took at the top will forever be my favorite. It was such a refreshing way to kick off our celebrations and gave us a chance to show our guests a beautiful view of the Catskills (without them having to hike for it!) Our cocktail hour on the patio at the Umbrella Bar was so fun - we loved the flexible seating, from fire pits to picnic tables, it gave all of our guests total flexibility to hang out how they wanted to before dinner. It also gave us tons of space to speak with everyone. The proximity to the Club Room also gave us the opportunity to run inside and sneak a peak at our setup without missing out on too much of the Cocktail Hour. The Club Room was everything I dreamed of in a venue for dinner, so cozy and perfect! Erika managed to get our tables exactly how we wanted them including a massive 18-person head table. We had an extremely specific seating chart and she made sure every person was at the right seat! The dance floor really is the perfect size - and the proximity of the (massive) bar was so convenient. Erika also helped coordinate an installation of the largest feasible disco ball through one of the room's chandeliers - a move that totally made the dance floor festive.

After Party: We hosted an after party at Tavern 23 - the food hit the spot and the space was great - the firepit outside was nice for those who wanted to just catch up and inside music kept the party going.

Transportation: James was a total pro - our guests (and we!) really appreciated the transportation the Mountain provided.

Bridal Suite: Even though we had our ceremony at our house - it was great having access to the extremely large bridal suite throughout the evening. I appreciated the storage and location for changing into a reception dress.

Accessibility: I've heard horror stories of strict timelines for when setup can start or having to make sure everything is out the night of the wedding. This was the total opposite - I was able to visit The Club room the Thursday before my Saturday wedding and drop off everything, see the tables set up and walk through final details well before my guests started arriving into town. And there was no rush after the wedding to pick things up. I was able to go over the day after and grab all of the leftovers - from bathroom baskets to my high heels to my personal skis our florists worked into an arrangement!

Backup Plan: Another thing that differentiates this venue is the included backup rain plan. Thank goodness we didn't need it, but it gave us such peace of mind knowing we had a great backup spot for our ceremony.

Windham Mountain did such an incredible job making our wedding the perfect day for us and our guests! The venue itself is the perfect combination of outdoor beauty and a beautiful indoor reception. The lift ride up the mountain is such a unique and fun experience for guests and the view makes for beautiful photos. Kelly was super helpful and easy to work with in all the pre-planning and kept the wedding day moving smoothly. Her team help to accommodate custom bar requests and the food was delicious. All of my guests commented that they were shocked at how good the menu, everything was fresh and cooked to perfection.
