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!!

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 directly 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!

We had our wedding at Cranmore and loved it. The view from the top of the mountain is incredible and we really enjoyed being able to have the cocktail hour at the Meister Hut at the 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 communication, 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 and 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.
