Get married at Cranmore!! We had the best experience from start to finish. We were immediately sold when we toured and it just got better from there. The attention the detail that ...
the Cranmore team offers is unmatched. From making sure we got to try our cocktail hour snacks to dancing with us at the end of the night, they went above and beyond for our big day. We feel so lucky that we chose Cranmore. Our guests had the best time too!

We are forever grateful that we decided on Cranmore Mountain for our wedding on May 25th, 2025. I could go on forever about how perfect our day was here! Nathalie, our wedding coor...
dinator, went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, from constant communication leading up to our wedding to check-ins on the day of to even checking in after our wedding. She has an incredible attention to detail, and made everything we asked for come to life, including more extra details that made our day especially special. We had so many options to make it completely unique to us, and Nathalie helped to make all of our ideas happen: from a mountaintop first look to being the first couple to have a base ceremony at the Fairbanks Lodge patio to our dreamy cocktail hour to a perfect set up for the reception, ice cream bar, and more. She completely made our vision turn into a reality. She was there to ensure our timeline ran smoothly, and even helped me get a stain out of my dress right before our reception entrance! It is evident that she has a true passion for making sure that we had the best day ever. Our guests were completely blown away and still talk about how amazing the day was.
My family and friends also continue to compliment how delicious the food was at our wedding as well. Chef Mike does an exemplary job! We also have to give a shoutout to the awesome bartenders and serving staff throughout the entire event.
We also loved having accommodations right on the property for our guests. Everything went completely smooth for our wedding weekend, and the Cranmore team is the reason for this! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a perfect mountain wedding.
Cranmore will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we will never forget how incredible this day was for us.
I cannot say enough about how amazing the Cranmore staff is. We got married there on 6/21/25 and they went above and beyond. Nathalie, the wedding coordinator, was incredible. She ...
learned who we were as a couple and helped execute a wedding that reflected us. As a bride who is not very creative she created a wedding space that was beyond what I could have dreamed up. They made it an incredible and stress free weekend for us. Chef Mike does an amazing job with the food and everything was delicious from the roasted strip loin to the Spinach and artichoke dip (my husband kept asking for the recipe). The staff in general from bartenders, serving staff, and lift staff were all great. They were kind, helpful, and made our day amazing. Not to mention the venue is gorgeous. I would recommend Cranmore to any couple.
My husband and I, as well as our families and guests, were all absolutely blown away by the stellar, nothing-is-impossible attitude and service provided by the Cranmore staff from ...
the moment we started venue scouting through our wedding weekend. I could provide countless examples of ways that the staff went above and beyond, for example the lift tickets and ski rentals gifted to us when we visited the site in the winter, or the incredible tasting that Mary Ellen and her staff coordinated for us that was beyond their typical scope, or the unbelievable work provided by our day-of coordinator Nathalie to make our weekend go smoothly (seriously, she was everywhere - to this day people are still telling us things she did for them on our wedding day!), or our guests telling us how much they loved chatting with the friendly bartenders at the welcome event, or the events manager Kelly limping out to greet us when we came to visit even though she was supposed to be on bedrest with an injury - and I could go on! North Conway is a special place in my family's history, and now thanks to the Cranmore staff my husband and I have new memories there that we will always cherish. We are so grateful to everyone at Cranmore for giving us the wedding of our dreams. PS: Do the summit ceremony!!
We just held my daughter's wedding there and it was awesome! The staff was professional, friendly, and accommodating. The food was FANTASTIC. Everything about our experience there ...
was top-notch.
Cranmore made all of our dreams come true on our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. Every single person we worked with on the Cranmore Staff was willing...
to go above and beyond to make our day even better than we had pictured in our heads. The food was absolutely phenomenal!! The menu was custom to our preferences and the season, and the food was to die for!! We’re still thinking about it. The bar was incredible, between local brews, any drinks we requested, and hand muddled fresh fruit speciality cocktails! Every guest had something to rave about! The views and the venue were absolutely stunning. Our photos are breath taking with 360 degree views looking over the White Mountains. And we were lucky enough to have our wedding during peak foliage weekend in the fall. The colors, trees, and foliage made our day even more magical. The lodging and parking at Cranmore made the entire weekend easy for our guests. There is condos & hotel rooms on site. As well as hundreds of rentals, airbnbs, and hotels in walking distance. We could not recommend Cranmore enough. The views, the food, the staff, the venue, we could go on and on. Thank you to the Cranmore Team for the best day ever ❤️
Where to begin?! We had an absolutely magical wedding weekend at Cranmore on October 1-3, 2021! Our entire wedding party, including ourselves and a good number of guests stayed dir...
ectly on the mountain at the new and beautiful Kearsarge Brook Condos, which made getting around and getting ready on the day of super easy. There is plenty to do and see in downtown North Conway and surrounding towns for your guests aa well. Our ceremony was Saturday at 4:30PM followed by cocktail hour at The Meister Hut (all at the summit) which offers amazing views of the valley (on a clear day Mt. Washington can be seen!) and the reception was held at base lodge, Zip’s Pub & Grill. On Sunday we hosted a brunch at Zip’s as well. The positive feedback from our guests about how unique the whole experience was was truly wonderful to hear. Everyone also made it a point to tell us how delicious the food was. We are so grateful to Paul & Amanda, our event coordinators, as they ensured everything ran seamlessly. They were so kind, accommodating and helpful in every way, and they made our vision a reality. We were able to set up the reception hall as early as the Wednesday before, which took a huge amount of stress off in the days leading up to the wedding. The forecast for our summit ceremony wasn’t looking too good on the morning of, but with Paul and Amanda’s proactive communication we were able to get umbrellas (just in case) and be prepared. The weather ended up holding out and everything went as planned. We really loved the dedication on doing all they could to make the summit ceremony happen because after all, that’s the best part of a mountain wedding! We really can’t say enough about how awesome our whole experience was with the venue and staff. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, one of a kind wedding experience in the White Mountains!

e summit of the mountain. Cranmore was very budget friendly based on the ability to use the entire grounds and chairlift for no extra cost. The food was great as well. I only wish there would have been better communication as we got closer to the wedding day.
Our wedding at Cranmore Mountain Resort was absolutely amazing! Working with Paul, Amanda, and the other staff at the resort was so easy. They were professional, prompt with commun...
ication, helpful answering questions throughout the entire planning process, incredible with decorating and managing everything on our actual wedding day. Having the ceremony at the summit required a lot of coordination of guests and wedding party, but it couldn't have gone any more smoothly due to their great organization and communication. We also did our rehearsal dinner with them- the food was delicious both nights! I highly recommend having your wedding at Cranmore Mountain Resort and working with their amazing staff!
This summer, we were attempting to replan our wedding for the fourth time (due to Coronavirus.) Paul started out super responsive and gave us a great tour. We were ready to sign a...
nd requested a contract. After confirming that he was in office to help solidify our plans in the following days, he ghosted us for most of the next week. We were planning with a two month timeframe, so this week was crucial to getting communication out to guests, and he knew this. We reached out many times to know if we should move on in our search and finally after a while he said the venue wouldn't be able to host us . This would have been helpful/fair information to have before we traveled from many hours away to visit the venue and starting lining up vendors for the date he confirmed for us. If you are planning anything within a couple months, STAY AWAY!
Cranmore was an amazing wedding venue, and we could not be happier with how the day turned out! We have praise for every aspect of the experience:
- Stunning mountain-top setting!...
The chairlift ride was fun and had gorgeous views. We had our ceremony outside on the summit and the cocktail hour was at the summit bar. Being able to have the cocktail hour at the summit was super fun, and was part of why we chose Cranmore over the other ski resort venues we visited. The reception was at the pub at the base, which had a picturesque, rustic vibe.
- Excellent staff! Paul and Meg were incredibly helpful with planning and did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly during the event.
- Delicious food! We didn't do a tasting beforehand, but the food was excellent and surpassed expectations.
- Good value for the price! Cranmore was more affordable than many other places we checked out.
- More accommodating compared to other venues we visited. For example, other venues we talked to had strict timelines with when you could take the lift and how long you could be on the summit, while Cranmore let us go up with family early to take photos before the ceremony. They also gave a very flexible schedule for when we could come by to set up decorations.
