We cannot say enough wonderful things about HoliMont! From the very beginning, they worked with us every step of the way and were always available whenever we had questions. The entire team went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend everything we dreamed of and more. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful. It was such a cozy, welcoming space that we were able to transform and make completely our own. One of the most unforgettable parts of our day was taking the chairlift up for our ceremony, surrounded by the beautiful fall foliage. Being able to hear our violinist playing as we rode up the chairlift made the experience even more magical. It was truly something special that our family and friends will never forget! Kalia and Bill were incredible throughout the planning process and made everything run so smoothly. They helped make what could have been a stressful process feel completely stress-free. Everyone was so kind, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was perfect. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of, including providing shuttles and making the experience accessible and enjoyable for all of our guests. Mike with Dina’s was wonderful. The food was amazing, and we received so many compliments from our family and friends! Every detail came together beautifully, and we couldn't have asked for a better team to help bring everything to life. We also loved being able to have such a unique wedding experience just a short distance from home. HoliMont gave us the perfect setting for a whole weekend full of love, laughter, and memories that we will cherish forever.

Based in Ellicottville, NY, Holimont Ski Resort is an elegant chalet venue that hosts weddings and special events. This property is the largest ski resort in the United States of America, offering plenty of space for engaged couples and their guests. Snow-covered peaks offer a stunning backdrop for nuptial wedding photos, while dedicated staff will ensure that your event flows flawlessly. Holimont Ski Resort was established in 1961 when founder William Merk was inspired to start his own ski resort after watching the 1932 Olympics. The resort became popular throughout the 1970s and 1980s when additional slopes and ski chairs were added. Additional renovations and modernizations make this resort a historical and elegant venue that offers contemporary amenities. Couples can exchange their vows outdoors, allowing guests to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding scenery. The sunrise room offers an idyllic space for receptions, with vaulted timber ceilings and romantic fairy lights. Couples can also avail of the ski pistes and chairs, providing a plethora of opportunities for one-of-a-kind wedding photos. Holimont Ski Resort offers a range of services to help couples create seamless events. Cuisine will be provided by Dina’s at the Mont, the on-site gourmet cafe and catering service. Their talented team of chefs will collaborate with you to create custom menus that reflect your tastes. This venue can also offer a range of event rental items, preventing you from needing to source them elsewhere. This club allows both members and non-members alike to enjoy their special day at this elegant resort.

edding day, we had nothing to worry about. Everything was handled, we were able to enjoy our day without any concerns whatsoever. From planning, to set up, the rehearsal, our wedding, & even clean up it was so nice having it all taken care of. They truly took out any & all guess work. Multiple people had mentioned how unstressed I was on my wedding day, and truthfully I have everyone at HoliMont to thank. My wedding went off without a hitch and I’m so thankful we get to remember our wedding day as a stress free day. We had many of our guests compliment many aspects of our wedding thanks to HoliMont as well. From stress free planning, to the beautiful views, amazing people, delicious food from Dinas, & their overall knowledge, I couldn’t recommend them enough! You always hear people say what they wished was different or bad memories on their wedding day, but we have nothing but great memories & nothing we would’ve changed! It was raining on our wedding day too, & they even had a backup plan to move everything inside in a short notice if needed! Thankfully the rain let up & they were able to get everything dried & ready for us! If you’re on the fence, or looking for a stress free wedding planning experience, HoliMont is the place to go!

lways attentive, very thorough and willing to go above and beyond to make sure our event was a success. The food was absolutely delicious. I cannot say enough about Dina's at The Mont. The staff knocked it out of the park with a huge seafood buffet, paella station, massive charcuterie, and a beautiful display of various hot and cold hors d'oeuvres. The answer was always yes to any special request we had for food and bar service. Culinary experts to say the least! Overall, I recommend Holimont with hesitation for weddings, celebrations or any type of special event.

We had an amazing experience with the team at Holimont. From start to finish, everything was perfect and we felt so lucky to have the most beautiful and meaningful wedding. The day...

came and went without even a single hiccup (at least none that we were made aware of as the Holimont team was on top of everything). We received so many compliments from family and friends and the price was super reasonable for the amazing value that we received. I would highly recommend getting married at Holimont.
