I live in Clarendon, Vermont with my husband, Chris, an Alpine Race Coach, and our three sons. Our family farm is home to not only our children but also many dogs, cats, and even a few raccoons. We are passionate about all that Vermont has to offer, including skiing, whitewater kayaking, and exploring the great outdoors. Traveling is another passion of mine, and I’ve had the opportunity to visit almost every state in the country. I am excited to welcome you to Killington and share with you why this place is so close to my heart.

We had such an amazing experience at Killington Mountain Resort. We held our ceremony and reception at the Peak Lodge, which required guests to take the K-1 gondola to get there. It was such a unique and beautiful setting. Additionally, we hosted our Welcome Party and Farewell Breakfast at the Killington Grand Resort Hotel, and everything was perfect. Jessica Alberty and the entire events team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were professional, competent, and kind throughout all of our events. In the months leading up to the wedding, Jessica was incredibly helpful, always available to answer our questions and accommodate our requests. And about the food….the food was SO.GOOD. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was. From the gondola ride to the stunning setting to the incredible food, our experience at Killington was unforgettable.

We recently celebrated (8/10/24) my daughter’s wedding at the Killington Grand. The wedding was pond side and the reception at the Grand in the ballroom. It was fabulous. We were just thrilled with everything. Sending so much thanks to Sharon and the Killington team for making the weekend perfect. Our guests had the best time at the resort and everyone loved their rooms. I worried about noise during the ceremony since near the pool and outdoor activities, I should not have. It was peaceful and beautiful. All of our decor was set up beautiful, the room and tables looked so elegant! The food was awesome. How they serve that many people food at that level is beyond me. My husband and I had multiple guests tell us it was the best steak they ever had! They graciously accommodated our multiple guests with food allergies. We had an after party at Preston’s and it too was great. I just cannot thank all involved in our daughter’s wedding for making it perfect. If you are considering Killington you will not be disappointed!

My wife and I loved Killington! From our first visit to see the facility to the day after the wedding, it was a great experience. The key to this experience was absolutely our wedding coordinator – Krissy! She was organized, friendly, proactive, and helpful beyond belief! Thank you Krissy for all of your guidance and help!
Most impressive was the day of the wedding. Outside ceremony was the original plan – but the weather kept changing constantly throughout the day with fog. At the 11th hour we needed to shift to an inside ceremony, the Killington team came through with a beautiful backdrop utilizing some of our décor, and the chairlift in the room. Most impressive!
We highly recommend Killington for your wedding. The flexibility they offer with your wedding size and pricing put them over the top for us. The packages are simple to understand, and in our opinion, offer a lot of value. Highly recommend!

Killington Resort went above and beyond to make sure that we had an absolutely wonderful wedding! Firstly, all members of the staff that we worked with, from the planning to the rehearsal dinner and the wedding itself, made sure that all the guests were well cared for. My guests even commented on how friendly and helpful everyone was. The venue gave us a coordinator to work with and she was excellent, which was a relief because we were planning the wedding from out of state. She was energetic and well organized and always willing to set up a meeting for us to talk through even our craziest ideas. She was even there during the wedding and reception to make sure everything went smoothly. We had a brunch wedding and it was honestly spectacular, the banquet coordinator met with us personally to answer any questions that we had. Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the food selection was. We had several guests with gluten allergies and the banquet team was able to alter some of their existing recipes to make them gluten free and allow all the guests to enjoy them. The pond side venue is beautiful, the pool is nearby so I was questioning if it would be noisy but everyone was very respectful during our ceremony and it was far enough away that if there was any noise I didn’t hear it. The reception ballroom was lovely, the table linens were included. All of my guests were very pleased with their rooms at the hotel and excited to do activities at the resort after the wedding such as swimming in the heated pool or even going zip lining! Overall I could not have asked for a better day!

Killington has always been a special place for my husband and I, so having our wedding up at the Peak lodge was a no brainer. Our coordinator Krissy was fantastic. There had been a few changes from our time of booking (policies/pricing/etc), but Krissy and her team were extremely supportive in helping us adapt while still working with our budget. They also made coordinating our room block and planning our rehearsal dinner a breeze. The day of, Krissy, Shea and the rest of the crew were on top of each detail, and made the day as seamless as possible. And the FOOD - we had multiple guests tell us that it was the best wedding food they’d had, and we agree! Highly recommend this venue :)

I would highly recommend working with Killington Resort for your wedding or event. Our wedding took place at the Peak Lodge, accessible only by gondola, and the views alone made it the perfect choice. The ceremony takes place outside, surrounded by mountains and Vermont beauty everywhere you turn. The reception is inside the lodge which absolutely transforms from a ski lodge to a beautiful venue. The gondola is handicap accessible - we had guests in wheelchairs. The team was an absolute pleasure to work with - they are excellent at what they do and helped us along the way with suggestions based on past experience, and even had 2 signature cocktails waiting for us post ceremony to enjoy in private before rejoining our guests which was a highlight. The food was outstanding, their chefs are very talented and many of our guests commented it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding! We are so grateful to the Killington team!

We recently got married at the Peak Lodge on 9.23.23 and I cannot say enough good things about them. From start to finish they made us feel like we were special and taken care of.
The lodge looked incredible, the ceremony space has been recently and classily renovated, and the Grand Hotel (especially Preston’s and the patio) were a show stopper.
The food displays were massive, and ever bit of food was devoured by my guests.
I had MANY guests come up to me and mention how wonderful their interactions with the staff were. Literally, everyone from Sharon our coordinator to the bar tenders, to the maintenance staff were so outstandingly friendly and helpful. One staff member even came up to me the next day. She shared an incredible photo from our ceremony that she had taken and it took my breath away. She was the only person with that vantage point so if she never shared I would never have seen it!!
Our wedding was a show stopping event, and I literally would not change a thing. From checkin to welcome party to breakfast and everything in between. Truly incredible! Thank you Killington team!!!!! 😭🥹🥰

I recently had the privilege of getting married at Killington's Peak Lodge in June, and as someone who has worked in the wedding industry for many years (as a wedding florist), I can confidently say that the Killington Team was the best choice! From the moment we began planning our wedding, Krissy and the entire Killington planning team were nothing short of exceptional. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our day perfect was so evident. On the day of our wedding, the staff at Killington were not just helpful, but also incredibly warm and accommodating- to us and our guests and also to our other vendors! Their genuine kindness and attentiveness put us at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our celebration. Even when we faced challenges (like a coinciding bike race and unpredictable weather) the Killington team's ability to adapt and handle unexpected situations was evident and we had no problems! Finally, I can't recommend the food enough! Everyone was raving about the food and it was truly delicious. We worked with the culinary team to make a unique brunch menu and it was so good! I 100% recommend Killington as a wedding venue.

Our wedding at Killington Grand Resort was an absolute dream come true, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our special day. From the stunning location to the exceptional service, this resort exceeded our expectations in every way.
The staff at Killington Grand Resort deserves special recognition. They were incredibly friendly, responsive, and attentive to our every need. From our first inquiry to the final moments of our wedding day, the team made us feel like we were their top priority. They went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and made sure every detail was executed flawlessly. Their professionalism and dedication truly set them apart.
One of the standout features of Killington Grand Resort is the convenience of having the ceremony, reception, and hotel accommodations all in one place. This made our wedding day stress-free for both us and our guests. The ease of transitioning from the ceremony to the reception, and then to our comfortable hotel rooms, was a game-changer. It allowed us to focus on what truly mattered - celebrating our love with family and friends.
Overall, our wedding at Killington Grand Resort was a magical experience. The combination of the friendly and attentive staff, the stunning location, and the convenience of having everything on-site made it an unforgettable day for us and our guests. If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty with top-notch service, look no further than Killington Grand Resort. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend it to any couples seeking a truly special and memorable wedding day.

What an amazing experience! I was searching for a venue that would serve as a one-stop-shop for ceremony, reception and lodging for 230 guests and got more than I bargained for with Killington for many reasons (1) PEOPLE… Staff is competent, attentive, & professional. Sharon was exceptional. I had so many questions throughout the year before the wedding and Sharon always answered promptly, thoroughly, thoughtfully, & with a positive attitude. It ended up raining the day of our wedding and the whole Killington team was kind, creative, flexible, and went above & beyond for us (2) FOOD.. the food was delicious - they have the best of Killington working at Preston's. The Tasting was so fun and the chef and team really met our needs. Thank you SO much to everyone at Killington for all of the help and support throughout the planning process and during the wedding! THEY ARE THE BEST! We can't recommend Killington as a venue enough! So grateful!

Killington Mountain a the perfect venue for our peak wedding! Every member of the team was professional, attentive and personable. Our coordinator was with us every step of the way to ensure every detail was perfect. We cannot thank the Killington Team enough for all of their help, because of them we were able to relax and enjoy our special day. The food was unanimously dubbed, “the best wedding food” our guests had ever had! The views are stunning, the reception space has a unique charm, and the gondola ride to the peak (for peak weddings) adds an extra special touch. We cannot say enough positive things about this venue!

My husband and I got married at the Peak Lodge on 10/2/2022. We had the most incredible wedding weekend. The staff was amazing and very friendly, but our wedding coordinator was hands down one of the best parts about our weekend. My husband and I live in a different state and Krissy, our coordinator, made it very easy and simple to plan an entire wedding from a few states away. The weekend of she explained everything in detail and answered every question my wedding party possibly had. She also contacted all of our vendors and coordinated specific times for them to be up at the Peak so my husband and I only had to worry about getting married. She helped bustle my dress multiple times because the buttons weren’t holding. She also happily let me borrow her shoes so my husband and I can hike up the mountain with our photographer to take sunset photos. Our chef that was working at the Peak was impeccable. He took all allergies into strong consideration. My husband was also very picky about how our steak was prepared and the chef was very kind and made the steak perfect the night of. Also, what was very surprising were the portions of food that was given. Out of all the weddings I have ever been to our wedding had the most food to where people were taking home doggy bags because of the portions that were given. All in all the entire weekend was amazing and if you are considering having your wedding in killington I highly recommend you do so. If you do please ask for Krissy, she will not let you down.

We attended a wedding at The Peak in August and stayed at the Killington Grand for the weekend. Everything was top-notch. Guests marveled at the view, the delicious food, the gondola ride to and from the event. Accommodations were perfect for everything to take place at one spot. Amenities such as the pool and hot tubs are a huge bonus. This is a perfect destination place for a wedding or any other event.

My son and new daughter in law were just married at the Peak Lodge on 8.12.22. The entire day and evening was an experience beyond perfection. Our weather was the perfect summer day offering us majestic views, a pink/purple sunset and even a super moon. This thrilled all of our guests. However beyond the sunset there was much much more. The staff here is the best I've ever seen. Eric Rusch, Zach Bodine and Josh Hanrahan; thank you for the incredible raw bar ( Oysters, shrimp, ceviche and shrimp salad all served chilled and fresh!) and gourmet meal that tasted incredible ( steak perfectly medium rare and so tender) you served. All meals were served hot with a professional presentation. The banquet staff hustled to make sure the meals were out in a timely manner and everyone was served what they ordered; Robbie Baldwin, Hunter Driggers and Sophie Parvez; BRAVO! Caryn Casey Hurka ( Coordinator extraordinaire) worked endlessly on all of the details to ensure no stone was left unturned which created perfection; thank you Caryn! This was one of the best days of my life and I will never forget how the staff at Killington worked so hard to fulfill all of our dreams beyond the vows.

From the second my now husband and I toured Killington we knew we didn’t have to look any further for a venue. We got married by the pond on Columbus Day weekend. We were able to take the gondola up and do our first look at the peak! The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially with foliage at its peak.
We loved being able to have the ceremony, reception, and lodging all in one place. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They did such a spectacular job with setting up. All of the guests were raving about the food and service. I would highly recommend Killington Grand!
Our wedding coordinator, Sharon, was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is professional, knowledgeable, organized, and detail oriented. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. The day of everything ran so smoothly. We couldn’t have done it without her!

I truly am so thankful to the entire team at Killington for making my destination dream wedding happen. From the initial contact with Caryn to having the big day arrive with Sharon, the entire wedding planning process was a breeze. Every single staff member I met with at the Grand Hotel was polite, responsive, and on top of their game every step of the way. Sharon and the team really did make my vision a reality and for that I am eternally grateful. Flawless reception dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party!!! In addition to thanking Caryn and Sharon, I have to give a shout out to Scott, Garrett, Duane, Stella, Dave, Chef Greg, Kevin, and countless others at The Grand for their hospitality and fantastic service. I highly recommend all couples looking to look no further. Choosing Killington Grand Hotel was the best decision we made!

My husband Andrew and I started planning our Killington Peak Wedding in the Spring of 2019 after we got engaged. We picked this venue because we are both skiiers, and Killington is one of our favorite mountains to ski. When we saw the Killington wedding brochure in the lodge during a hot cocoa break we instantly knew that we wanted to get married at The Killington Peak. We started to work with Caryn and we were amazed at what we could get for the price: gondola service to and from our wedding ceremony and reception, a spectacular ceremony setting, and a five-star restaurant dining experience for an exceptional price at The Peak Lodge. Like most 2020 wedding couples, we eventually had to deal with heartbreak of having to reschedule our wedding twice. However, the staff at Killington were extremely accommodating and helped us find a time that would be safe and practical for our guests to celebrate our nuptials. Sharon ended up taking over as our wedding coordinator in April 2021 and with her help Andrew and I were able to pick back up where we left off to plan our August 2021 wedding. What Sharon was able to help us do in four months was incredible! When our wedding day finally came our guests were amazed by the incredible staff, delicious hors d’oeuvres, refreshing cocktails, and wonderful meals that we were served at The Killington Peak. In addition, the Hotel Staff at The Killington Grand Hotel & Resort were exceptional. They even delivered a safe, well-constructed crib to our room for our infant daughter to borrow during our stay. One of the coolest things that I remembered from our wedding was riding the gondola down the mountain in the pitch black of night after our reception! We also really enjoyed the buffet-style food and beverages at the “Sunrise Breakfast” that we hosted for our guests the morning after our wedding. We thought it was a great way to say "good-bye" to everyone before they journeyed back to their homes, and the food was excellent! Andrew and I would sincerely recommend The Killington Peak Wedding Venue to any adventure, thrill-seeking couples, like ourselves, who want to have a romantic, unforgettable wedding experience for an incredible price.

We got married at the Peak Lodge on July 31, 2021 and it was amazing! The team at Killington was outstanding and provided us with high level of customer service and care throughout the planning process and during our wedding weekend. Between our welcome party at Preston's Outdoor Patio and our ceremony/reception at the Peak Lodge, our guests were blown away by the gorgeous views, hotel accommodations, great food + drink, and quality of service.
Killington's packages are well-rounded and customizable, making the planning process easy as so much was handled in-house. Their preferred vendor list was extremely useful while we were researching and hiring vendors, and it quickly became clear to us that local vendors LOVE working with the Killington wedding team. Caryn deserves a special shoutout for going above and beyond to make sure our wedding weekend went off without a hitch, helping us plan everything remotely as we live out-of-state.
We can't say enough wonderful things about Killington Resort and highly recommend this wedding venue!

We got married at the K1 Peak Lodge on September 20, 2019. What an amazing venue, view, sunset, atmosphere - but more importantly, what an amazing team of people making all the magic happen behind the scenes. We were looking for a unique location for our wedding but one that was also handicap accessible for a few key family members. Killington is (to our finding) the only handicap-equipped gondola-servicing wedding-on-the-mountaintop option in the New England area. Killington was one of two venues that we visited one weekend and we knew it was perfect for us and (on a Friday) was at a reasonable price point compared to more status quo venues. After our site visit with Caryn, we worked with Katie Carey who was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly professional, always responsive, had an eye on every little detail, and made sure that our rehearsal and day-of went as smooth as could be. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie and our day honestly would not have been the same without her expertise and fun demeanor. The K1 lodge is beautiful as is with floor-to-ceiling windows, clean lines, new amenities, and beautiful modern lighting - we hardly had to add much decor. The menu by Chef Eric at the Peak Lodge is unparalleled, period. We received more compliments on the food than I thought was possible! Every member of the service team on the day of our wedding was top-notch. All the staff at the Grand Hotel where we had our room block were so accommodating to everyone and exceeded all of our requests. We held a welcome event and after-party drinks at Preston's in the Grand which worked perfectly! Killington's turnkey package model made our wedding planning easy, streamlined, and not stressful at all. The views are unparalleled but the team is even better and so important. We would recommend Killington Mountain for any couples considering a unique wedding venue in the heart of VT!

I cannot say enough positive things about The Killington Grand Resort!!
If you've ever been skiing at Killington, you already know how sweet everyone is around the mountain- from holding the door open as you enter the lodge, passing out cookies in line, to saying good night on the way out. Having your wedding here is no different, or maybe even better!
We had our wedding pond-side last weekend which was very accommodating for guests in wheelchairs and afraid of heights. However, they kindly let my husband and I do our first look at the top of the K1, so we got the best of both worlds!
We cannot thank everyone at The Grand enough. From our site visit with Caryn, to working with Sharon for over a year, to working with Joe, Sophie and their team the day of our wedding; everyone sincerely went above and beyond with everything they did and no detail wasn't thought about or left undone.
Friday evening we held a traditional Chinese Tea ceremony with a Welcome Reception for friends and family on the patio for no extra charge for space and willingness to help set up. The passed hors d'oeuvres were terrific and our bartender Evan was fantastic (my husband bartends so this was a big worry for him)!
Saturday, Saturday was absolutely amazing and more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Pictures of the Oscar Wilde Ballroom don't do it justice. Sharon and her team decorated everything for us just absolutely beautifully. From our guestbook and gift tables to the cart we used as a cookie bar, to our sweetheart table and centerpieces, everything was gorgeous. It was also very, very relieving to be able to trust her and her team to do a great job (way better than I could have done) which enabled me to enjoy myself Friday and Saturday without worry. Again, the wait staff and Evan were great! Everyone raved about cocktail hour, dinner, and cocktails. I even had a guest with a severe gluten and dairy allergy and she had no problems, everyone is very accommodating to this which I greatly appreciate.
Since our wedding, several guests have also complimented our venue saying it was the most beautiful wedding they have been to and that they had the best time at our wedding of any other weddings they'd been to. Our photographer even complimented The Grand and the ease of everything (they even put a sheet on the benches of the gondola for me for 1st look). This all goes to the staff that made our day just as special as if it were their own.
Killington also gifted us season ski passes and a couples massage in addition to a lot of other services that were included. This is certainly the best bang for the buck if you're looking for a magical wedding with super nice staff!
Best of luck Brides to be!!

Killington Resort went above and beyond our expectations with all aspects of the weekend. We got married at the Grand Resort by the pond, which was a beautiful location, especially with the mountain in the background, and incredible landscaping. Cocktail hour was great, especially since it was just a few steps away from the ceremony and reception. All of our guests raved about the food, and the venue. Having Preston's Bar directly outside the reception hall made for a great after party!
Katie (Our Coordinator from Killington) did a phenomenal job helping us plan all aspects of the day, and took all the stress away from us the day of. She completely understood our vision for the day, and every decision she made was exactly what we wanted.
We had a roller coaster of weather for the weekend, and everybody at Killington helped make the necessary adjustments to accommodate the weather and still make the day perfect. Our weekend couldn't have been any better, especially for any couple that loves the mountains of Vermont.

This was a beautiful wedding venue!!!! Lots of options to fit your budget. The day of I hardly worried about anything like set up, they did a fantastic job placing our decorations all around the ballroom. We got married near the pond at the base of the mountain and it was absolutely gorgeous. My guests loved that everything was right at the resort so there was no need to drive the whole weekend. Only 1 thing: check in is at 4... my ceremony was at 4... make sure you have a later ceremony time to give wiggle room especially if many guests are traveling. Also, our rehearsal dinner was at the club house which was perfect for the dinner and a welcome party too. Highly recommend Killington for your wedding venue!!

We had our Ceremony and Reception up at the Peak Lodge on top of K1! I think it gave our wedding an edge over other weddings, because it provided a gorgeous view, and amazing sunset! It was also different that guests had to take the Gondola which not many people get to do! It was by far the best decision. We worked with Katie Carey who was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and answered emails within hours. She was so easy to work with! The food was amazing Chef Eric knocked it out of the park with our tasting, and did not disappoint even on our wedding day. No one walked away hungry, and portions were perfect! It was great to have the ceremony, and reception right next to eachother, so guests didn't have to travel far. Honestly the view speaks for itself so you don't have to do a lot of decor, same with the lodge has its all glass windows! We worked with a lot of vendors who had done weddings the hotel, and most of the vendors were willing for the challenge of going and taking things up and down the gondola! We are so happy that we choose to get Married at Killington Peak, as we also got engaged at the top too! The staff at the peak was amazing, and made the night more memorable as we got them to come out and dance with us after dinner was done! It was great to share the night with everyone and definitely a wedding our guests are still talking about a month later!

We are from NY and MA, but have many memories in VT so we knew we wanted to get married there. We had some high expectations, and wanted a venue where all of our guests could stay at one spot (185+ people) . Once we saw Killington we knew it was the place for us. Our wedding coordinator, Katie Carey was so amazing. From booking the event, answering my constant questions and emails, and handling everything the day of- she was so helpful and made me feel so relaxed the whole year and wedding weekend. I had A LOT of personal touches and signs, and the day before I gave everything to Katie. She did an outstanding job utilizing and setting every thing up perfectly. Our guests are saying it was "the best wedding they've ever been to!" They also kept raving about the hotel staff (i.e., front desk, valet, food service, etc.) saying how nice and accommodating everyone was the whole weekend. From Friday night's rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at the Clubhouse, to Saturday's wedding in the Oscar Wilde Ballroom (food was awesome!), everything exceeded our expectations. It was truly our dream wedding, and the best day ever! Thank you Katie Carey & the Killington Grand staff!

My wedding was better than I had ever imagined because of this venue and the people who worked so hard to help me. Not only did everything run smoothly the day of but leading up to it was a breeze. Everything was done in a timely manner, my questions always answered and everything taken care of. It surpassed my expectations and made my day special. The location was beautiful, everyone was kind. All my guests want to return to this amazing resort. I am one happy bride!

Our wedding at Killington Grand Resort was absolutely perfect. Our guests loved the venue and many stayed on for a few days to enjoy the resort. We have received so many compliments on the facility.
As for the planning and actual day of our wedding - I can not say enough about how amazing Sharon Mayer and the team at Killington are. Every aspect was handled perfectly. Even small details I planned to handle were taken care of for me. And everything was beyond my expectations.
Our rehearsal dinner was also at the resort and was a wonderful time as well.
Sharon was present at my ceremony to make sure everything went just right and she checked in with me during the reception to ensure we were happy. All of my vendors were experts managed and I never once had stress or anxiety about any details of my day.
You will not be disappointed if you chose to host your event at Killington

Killington Grand Hotel was an absolutely stunning location for not just the ceremony but also the cocktail hour and reception. We worked Katie and she was nothing less that exceptional! She even got us Sip O Sunshine and Pumpkin Beer which made our beer drinking guest wicked happy! Everyone is still talking about how amazing the food was. We also loved that everything was right there and neither us or our guests had to leave the resort. Look no further for your Vermont wedding!

We chose to get married at Killington for sentimental reasons, and being New Yorkers we were a little bit wary about their capabilities of pulling off a black-tie wedding but… they absolutely KILLED IT! Chef Eric and Chef Greg cooked outstanding meals for all 3 days that people actually RAVED about. The hotel staff was accommodating, pleasant and helpful, and our guests could not stop talking about what a wonderful experience they had. Caryn, our coordinator, did a fabulous job staying on top of everything and we cannot say enough nice things about how great she was to work with. Overall, if you are looking to have a wedding in Vermont (black-tie or otherwise), want a spectacular view and staff that cares about your happiness, this is the place for you!

Just had a wedding weekend for my daughter at Killington Grand. Great place for a wedding! Working with Sharon was a pleasure. She was right on top of nearly every detail - including a Plan B for inclement weather which we ended up needing. Guests were not even aware that we were changing our plans. Things went smoothly and effortlessly. Killington Grand offers much for a wedding weekend - really nice lodging, pool and spa, outside adventure activities enjoyed by all ages, and options for meals. Cannot say enough about the friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff of the resort during our staff. Only downfall would be construction happening during our stay - was not informed of this up front and was a major disappointment not to have access to the grand staircase and beautiful ambiance of the fieldstone fireplace and main lobby, especially during our rainy days. this was one of reasons for choosing the Grand, and then to have lost it, was a big loss. Also next morning after reception, breakfast at Prestons was a disappointment as well - understaffed, with only one cook on hand - over an hour and a half waiting for our meal, making us late for checkout - However - Manager came out with personal apologies, 50% discounts, and extended checkout times for all. We were very appreciative of the caring attitude taken. All around, I would recommend this venue for weddings most defintely, even with challenges, it shines brightly.

Working with Katie Carey for our wedding at the Peak Lodge was our absolute best decision. For a year she emailed with me almost daily and had me 110% confident that our day (which ended up being an entire weekend celebration) would be executed perfectly. The hotel staff knew our names, they checked the radar for the weather all weekend, the setup of the smallest details was absolutely perfect, and they were SO welcoming of our guests. I piled all of our wedding decor into boxes with some photo ideas and then told Katie to "do her thing"- and she did!! The decor was AMAZING. Everyone is still complimenting us, saying the venue was the most unique they have ever seen. They weren't phased by the rain striking mid-ceremony, soggy hair and clothes- because they felt like they "were in a cloud". It could not have gone more perfectly. THANK YOU for making our day so perfect!

Our wedding at Killington was beyond all of our expectations. It was positively beautiful and everyone - from the gondola operators and servings staff to our wedding coordinator Sharon - went above and beyond to give us the perfect day. To begin with, we picked the brand new Peak Lodge as our venue. Both inside and outside are unbelievably breathtaking, and while we had to be flexible because the room was so new, the space provided an elegant, one-of-a-kind venue. We decided to showcase the mountain by keeping all decorations minimal and had our cocktail hour and ceremony outside of the Peak Lodge so that our guests could enjoy the panoramic views for as long as possible. We were the first wedding to do so and Killington was incredibly accommodating in working with us to figure out the best use of the space.
Aside from the amazing space itself, the staff was wonderful. The gondola operators were incredibly kind in helping all of our guests get on and off of the (never stopping) gondolas. Many of our guests complimented the servers and bar staff and were impressed at their attention. The outside of the Peak Lodge has several different levels, and during the outside cocktail hour, our guests were impressed that servers got to even the most spread out people in our party. We were also thrilled to also have a dedicated server for ourselves, who made sure we were able to have as many of the appetizers as we could want during cocktail hour and that our food was not taken away too quickly as we were socializing at dinner.
Eric, the head chef at the Peak is truly a wonder. If you ever taste his food during ski season, you’ll know that it’s not typical ski lodge fair. He helped us create a new menu befitting of the space and was absolutely delicious. Everything was also cooked to order and entire tables were served together, so each plate was delivered hot and cooked perfectly. We also had a few guests with dietary restrictions and Eric was able to adjust the meals for them, or in one extreme case, come up with an entirely new dish for our guest.
Finally, Sharon Mayer, our wedding coordinator, was an enormous help. With a no-nonsense attitude, she organized everything to be exactly as we wanted and came up with contingency plans anytime things got sidetracked. She was always available for questions and put up with numerous phone calls and emails from us. The day of the wedding she ran the show perfectly. From small details like deciding the apple cider at cocktail hour should be served warm to go with the chilly weather, to larger items like overseeing the setup of the space and timing the exits for the processional, everything she did was executed with the utmost professionalism.
All of our guests have raved about the amazing experience at the Peak and their weekend in general. Most stayed on the property and participated in all of the activities Killington has to offer, such as the pools and the new summer adventure center. We wanted a space where all of our guests, traveling from around the world, could gather and stay together with our friends and family, and that is exactly what we found in Killington. From the views, to the food, to the service, to everything in between, it was exactly what we were looking for in a venue and couldn’t imagine finding a more perfect place.

I just had my wedding at Killington Grand Hotel over Labor Day Weekend and it was one of the most incredible weekends of my life. Our wedding planner was Sharon Mayer and she did a great job helping us organize the event. We planned the wedding remotely from Boston and whenever we had questions, we emailed Sharon. Sharon was responsive, professional, flexible, and very organized. She coordinated our rehearsal, brought up questions and ideas that we hadn't even thought of and made sure that our wedding weekend and wedding day would go smoothly. She corresponded with our vendors to make sure items were delivered and set-up on time. I arrived my wedding weekend without feeling stressed. Sharon allowed us to deliver all of our wedding decorations (large wooden pallet, vintage suitcases, multiple chalkboards, string lights, wedding albums, globe, etc), welcome bags, and wedding favors and she and her staff took care of all of the details. I didn't have to ask family or friends to help, and was able to spend time catching up with them instead of worrying whether things would come together.
Killington is a surprising bargain compared to other wedding venues in the area. They offer season passes, a complimentary one night stay in a one bedroom suite (which we used as the bridal suite), free massages (which I gifted to the maid of honor and a cousin), among other amenities. It was a great weekend, a wonderful venue, and if I had to pick a venue, I would still pick Killington.

We had our wedding at the Killington resort on 6/26/2015. After a couple initial hiccups with turnover in their wedding department, we were paired with Katie. Katie was thorough, receptive, and patient. She worked with us as our needs changed, and was very helpful as we worked through the planning process.
On wedding day, the food was top notch, the service was excellent, and the venue was set up beautifully (including some last second changes). It was extremely nice and convenient to have most everything under one roof. We did not have to worry about coordinating vendors as Katie and the Killington staff took care of all of that for us. For the few things Killington does not provide in house, the resort has a vendor list which came in handy as we are not from Vermont.
We had a Friday wedding. Katie and her staff even had some construction that was occurring take the afternoon off so we wouldn't have to hear them during the ceremony!
Overall, we were delighted with Killington's experience and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Excerpts from my blog post at
https://medium.com/@seanjregan/killington-the-beast-tries-beautiful-85a9c4aa0f0f
Beauty — Cocktails started at the Peak Lodge at 6 and a stunning spring sunset fired at 7:14. The easterly view through floor to ceiling windows provided the perfect backdrop for Alpenglow from every dinner table. A first dance came complete with falling (fake) snowflakes followed by lights going down for a stunning fireworks display that lit up the lodge from the outside.
There is no wedding venue in New England like the Peak Lodge, no nightlife like Killington, and no spring skiing that can compare to Bear Mountain. Killington can bring the beast mode and the beauty mode. In the end that combination is what makes for an incredibly fun and beautiful wedding.
Thanks to the team of people at Killington who really made this all happen. Great to work with!

My husband and I recently got married in August at the grand hotel. The wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more! The food was phenomenal and way better than we anticipated. Our coordinator, Sharon, was super helpful and organized and made our day perfect! She also made it easy to plan from 7 hours away. The accommodations were outstanding and very affordable for a resort in the summer! Our guests were so happy to make the journey for our destination wedding and cannot wait to return for their own vacation!

Killington did an excellant job accomadating 200 people for my wedding. Everything was done on time and just perfect. We couldn't of ask for a more beautiful location and got many compliments. Only issue fromt the whole experience was the pasta bar took some time... i would make sure for a large wedding they have enough stations. Food was excellcent and the ballroom was transformed into just what a wanted with help from my vendors.

My husband and I had an amazing wedding at the Killington Grand. The planning process was easy and enoyable. The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all ran smoothly. Our guests loved the food and many of them commented on how nice the waitstaff was. The wedding planner worked with us for months to help us plan the perfect day- and she was incredibly flexible. She also offered some great advice and creative ideas. The day after our wedding was amazing as well. The Killington staff did all of the cleanup and brought all of my (there were a TON) decorations up to my car. We were incredibly impressed with the whole process.
Not to mention- our guests LOVED staying at the Killington Grand. The weather was gorgeous, the resort was gorgeous, and there was plenty to do throughout the weekend.
We loved every second. 5 starts, for sure!!!

Sharon Mayer and the rest of the staff took care of everything. She consulted me about big decisions and didn't bother me with details - just as I wanted. Sharon is professional and poised and approachable. I also appreciate how kindly she interacted with my family through it all. She's called a professional for a reason. :)
Killington also catered our event. Everything was delicious, and those guests with special dietary needs appreciated the individual attention. The head chef was also very willing to answer our questions and make adjustments (even though we would never have changed a thing).

We loved having the wedding at the Killington Grand - we had the pleasure of working with Amy who was very accomodating and attentive. We had several out of town guests who enjoyed staying up there and loved the Fall foliage. The meal was very good and the staff was always available. We highly recommed the Killington Grand and Amy!

I used the Killington Grand as my venue for both my ceremony and reception. Initially, I was discouraged with the speed of response with my initial contact person, and had my doubts. After a few more issues, I was reassigned to a new wedding coordinator and the communication most definitely improved. I have provided a lot of feedback to Killington on what I liked and didn't like about the process, but all in all, Killington was accomodating with my choices for different menu options, quickly responded to my questions and concerns, and ultimately delivered an amazing day that went off with any problems.
