“Indian Head Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The staff were incredibly accommodating, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process. They offered multiple options to customize our event and went above and beyond to make our day special - from accommodating my dog staying in the cabin to helping fix my flowers when they arrived a bit dysfunctional. The venue itself had a beautiful view and was easy to host our entire family. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to the team at Indian Head Resort for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.”

“Brewster Academy was the perfect place to host our wedding. First of all, the views from the spot are absolutely amazing - right on the lake, with a sunset view of the lake and mountains in the background. We loved having our ceremony and taking photos along the waterfront (and there are a bunch of different spots for photos). The use of the boathouse is great - it's a great building for people to hang out, store stuff, use bathrooms, etc. Everyone we worked with at Brewster was super organized, friendly, and communicative. We had nice weather, and our guests loved playing yard games outside of our reception tent. Plenty of room on the field for caterers to set up prep tents, etc. too. Highly recommend!”

“When selecting a wedding venue, my husband and I were looking for a place where all of our guests could stay together and enjoy the natural beauty of the lake. Lake Shore Village Resort exceeded our expectations in every way. The communication with their coordinator, Sarah, was efficient, helpful, and quick throughout the planning process. She provided wonderful suggestions and guidance to tailor the weekend to our needs and desires. The quality of their work and the overall value was outstanding - the venue was beautifully decorated, had a wonderful community-oriented and fun vibe, and provided a serene and playful environment for us and our guests to relax and enjoy the lake activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. Everyone was so comfortable in the lovely lake houses, and we all had an incredible time bonding together by the water. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding weekend at Lake Shore Village Resort.”

“Choosing Camp Cody as our wedding venue was a huge decision and an excellent choice. Anna was so helpful throughout the process, and Dora was amazing weekend of–I never saw her standing still. The venue is so gorgeous, and being able to host our friends and family for a whole weekend made everything go by more slowly, with plenty of opportunities to connect with everyone. The Capture the Flag game we held morning of was a big highlight. The food was INCREDIBLE, and our guests haven’t stopped commenting on it. Everyone says you don’t eat at your wedding, and you better believe that was not true for us. As a person with a lot of food allergies, I’ve never felt more cared for and accommodated, and it was amazing to have that for our guests as well. In one notable moment, my cousin with celiac jumped with joy at the prospect of having gluten free pancakes and french toast for breakfast. The accommodations were comfortable, even in 30-40 degree temps overnight, the heat really works! Staying on site and not having to run around everywhere looking for everything and everyone made a big difference as someone without a planner. Also, arranging folks in cabins was not as stressful as we expected it to be. With our smaller wedding, we had plenty of space to spread people out. Thank you again to White Mountain Weddings for an amazing weekend!”
