“The staff is the absolute best part of the venue. The planning team (Anna, Julia, Victoria, Jill), were so sweet and made the process so easy. The event captain (Janet) checked on me all night and was such a big help. Chef Joe's buffet was such a hit and I got so many compliments on the food. The servers (Isa, Sebastian, Julia, Elly, Josh), were so friendly and created a welcoming environment.”

“Kristen and Frank of Stone Garden wore many hats for our daughter’s wedding and they provided excellent service at every step of the way making it easy to host a wedding at their venue. In addition to handling the venue, Kristen did the florals and the month-of coordination and Frank the bar services. Ours was a brutally hot and humid day (thankfully we had no rain) and Kristen, Frank and their staff pulled it off with class. The things that stand out are: *the setting at the bend of the Connecticut River makes a dreamy back-drop for the ceremony and a pleasant spot for guests to socialize during the night. *the distinctive four-pole tent and cement floor and garden were striking *the chandeliers, white lights, and velvet Victorian furniture in the orchard were inviting and whimsical *guests had the run of the whole yard for games and for our youngest guests to let off steam *and the porta-potties were air-conditioned! *Kristen’s floral designs were colorful, creative, and ambitious. It was a big job, complete with an amazing branch chandelier floral display at the ceiling of the tent. Kristen was an organized planner, good communicator, and so cheerful and reassuring! * Given the heat of the wedding day, the bar was very busy and Frank’s staff kept it all flowing. A few months ahead of the wedding, Frank held a cocktail tasting event that helped the bride and groom to decide on their signature cocktails – and it was a fun afternoon to visit Stone Garden while in the planning phase. One note: the required walk-through one month before the wedding was a challenge coming from New Jersey, but it was so helpful in the end! I now understand why it is part of the schedule and agree that it is useful to convene with the vendors to plan and decide things face-to-face. Thank you, Kristen and Frank!”

“First Zola review! The short and sweet review of this venue is that it was perfect. If it’s details you’re looking for, then we have those for you too. Prior to getting engaged, we had discussed what our ideal wedding day would look like and had both agreed that a mountain-top ceremony was what we both envisioned. For the moment we turned into the Pat’s Peak parking lot and saw the beautifully maintained grounds, rustic ski-village inspired buildings, and cozy lodge we had a feeling we had found our wedding venue. The wedding team at Pat’s Peak was incredible to work with, helping us through every single step and answering every question we threw their way. A huge standout to us as a couple was how accommodating they were of our requests and the level of personal touches we were permitted to do which made our day extra special. While it is of course important to hear what the bride and groom thought of the venue, an aspect we’d like to add to this review is what our guests thought. It’s been two weeks exactly since our wedding at Pat’s Peak and we’re still receiving non-stop compliments from our guests on the venue we chose. We opted for the summit ceremony and we will remember that chairlift ride and view from the top as we got married for the rest of our lives. The weather was perfect for us (which we know is not always the case) but a BIG reason we picked Pat’s Peak is because we liked the weather back up options that were provided to us. Our guests RAVED about the chairlift ride to the top for the ceremony and the scenic ride down for the reception. Special call out here for the lift operators who went above and beyond to be friendly and genuinely excited for our big day. As the bride and groom, we loved the ability to set up lawn games like giant Jenga and cornhole on the deck that provided the perfect environment for guests to enjoy a cocktail, mingle, and connect during cocktail hour and the reception. We opted for a buffet style meal, which provided more than enough food for our guest count of around 100. Everything from the apps, buffet dinner, s’mores bar and ice cream sundae bar was absolutely delicious. To wrap this review up, we’d like to call out Pat’s Peak staff including Brigid and Mary Beth. These two (including our bartenders, and the rest of the amazing staff) worked tirelessly in perfect coordination with our vendors to make sure our day was completely perfect and ran smoothly. We cannot thank them enough for all their help and hard work. Prior to our wedding, we had no connection or tie to Pat’s Peak but now, it will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you’re considering Pat’s Peak and looking for a quaint, rustic, and inexplicably cozy wedding venue, we’ve found it.”
