Loon Mountain Resort

at the end of the night were coming up to us saying how smooth the day went and they couldn't believe how beautiful and unique the venue was (it did help that we had unbelievable weather). The whole day ran on time and all the vendors were coordinated perfectly. We had a perfect day, thank you!!

Jayme was on top of everything while also having a very calm presence and making us feel at ease on our big day. He also was very helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process, regardless of what we threw at him! :) The entire staff was professional and made sure our elderly family members were able to attend the ceremony without a worry. We really wanted our guests to have a unique, memorable experience at our wedding and with this venue we certainly accomplished that! There was no shortage of lodging in the area for our guests, and many of them turned the trip into their own mini-vacation.

and smoothly - I didn't have to worry about a thing. It was great working with them throughout the planning process. The ceremony site is gorgeous - many guests saying it was the most beautiful wedding they had been to and it was the reason we chose the venue. The reception was great! The staff decorated the venue just as I had imagined - and it really didn't need much decoration given the amazing backdrop. People raved about the food. The outdoor space was a lot of fun - we brought corn hole and people moved in and out all night long. Overall we loved it! Thank you Alex and Loon!

more than helpful throughout the whole process. From constant questions, punctual quick replies, to knowledgeable feedback, we were definitely less stressed knowing we had them them fall back on. We had guests compliment on how smooth and organized everything went from the rehearsal to the ceremony all the way til the end of the night - so helpful! The weather and views at the top of loon on our wedding was absolutely breathtaking. It’s not everyday you have the white mountain backdrop which makes for wonderful pictures. The guests loved the scenic gondola ride up - we loved the bench seating and how it was an incline so everyone could see. The venue itself was exactly was we pictured and we also had a lot of flexibility with decor and options for things which was great! We did the buffet option for dinner and it was delicious! We can’t wait to back to loon on the trail we got married at - We HIGHLY recommend this wedding venue!

umbrellas and kept the atmosphere light and fun. It was an unbelievable day. You cannot beat the view from the top of the gondola, and the reception venue is perfect for a great party! I was very busy the day of and had minimal time to stop into the reception venue and make sure everything was set up, but when I arrived post-ceremony everything looked so good! The food was excellent; I had many guests with food allergies and Stacy and the chefs were very accommodating to meet all of their needs. We even needed to make a last minute change to one of our appetizers and they handled it with ease. Thank you all for an awesome wedding day; it wouldn't have been so perfect without you!

t of the wedding! She really went above and beyond for us, taking time on a day off to show me and my mom the venue for a second time as well. The whole staff at Loon was excellent, and helped us to have such an amazing wedding. (Also shout out to Alex who assisted in our rehearsal and carted us around from the lodge to the river for photos!) Unfortunately, we had the bad luck of a thunderstorm rolling through right before guests started showing up which shut down the gondola and forced us to have both the ceremony and reception in the Octagon Lodge. The staff was great and tried to hold off on canceling going up the mountain as long as they could, but it just wasn't to be. I have no regrets though, it was still beautiful to me even in the Lodge. Eventually the skies cleared during the reception so we still got to enjoy the outdoor patio area. Besides this, everything else went off without a hitch. The Lodge looked lovely, I didn't have to worry about anything the whole night and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The food was outstanding and we heard many rave reviews about it. (We had chosen the buffet package) All of our guests really enjoyed their time at Loon and we are so happy we had the wedding of our dreams regardless of weather!

e mountain each guest got a voucher to recieve a ticket to the top of the mountain at somepoint throughout the weekend, which everyone loved! We worked with Alex and she was amazing, always available when we had questions or last minute issues/decisions to be made. The day of staff was also amazing setting everything up exactly how I envisioned it and taking care of the day without a hitch! One thing we were nervous about was not having a food tasting BUT nothing to worry about there...the food was top notch. We had the chicken cordon bleu and lobster stuffed filet mignon, which was a huge hit! Overall, we 100% recommend getting married at Loon Mountain. The day/wedding planning experience was exceptional 😊

, with the most amazing view at the top. All of our guests are still raving about what a wonderful view & backdrop for our ceremony it was. The photos are gorgeous and without a doubt special. The food was also great with so many options to choose from. We worked with Jayme who was AMAZING! His constant communication was quick, easy, and reliable. No matter how many questions were asked, Jayme was always eager to help! He made the day of set up go off without a hitch, it was as simple as dropping everything off and they took over from there. Jayme was just wonderful and made our wedding day stress free and exactly what we had pictured! Would without a doubt, recommend!!

mony despite the rainy weather predictions. For the ceremony: The gondola ride had incredible views, our guests were very impressed. It did rain a bit during the ceremony but staff were prepared with umbrellas. They had a clear umbrella for us to use and we have the most unbelievable pictures due to the storm clouds over the mountains. I loved how Jayme always felt confident that we would make it to the top because that was one of the main reasons we booked Loon Mountain. It stopped raining half way through the ceremony so we got to take some great pictures after the ceremony. For the reception: The reception was so much fun, we had multiple guests come tell us this was the best wedding they had ever been to. My husband and I, along with many of our guests, are vegans. Jayme and staff went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary preference. They created two separate vegan entrees for us (stuffed peppers and polenta with a white bean ragu) which were both very delicious. The waiters/bartenders were great and the set-up of the octagon lodge was perfect for a lot of dancing. It is also nice that they have the separate patio area so people can go outside to chat and relax. Overall it was an incredible wedding day and I would book Loon again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our wedding experience a wonderful one for us and our guests!

zing. We had several very specific dietary restrictions and the staff went above and beyond to accomodate us. On the day itself, I did not have to worry about a thing! Everything went perfectly, and all of my guests were raving about the unique setting and the food. Definitely an amazing (and affordable) place to have a wedding!

essional. Adam made the whole process less stressful, answered all my questions, and was incredibly thorough. The wedding turned out perfect! Adam was there running the show and my bridesmaid turned to me and said, “I like him!” I laughed and said yes he is the best. Everything went off without a hitch. Ceremony and reception just gorgeous. Food was great (so I heard haha) and I’m still getting texts, emails, and people telling me how amazing the wedding was and definitely the most fun they’ve had. Highly, highly recommend.

ct we were unable to say our I Do's at summit. We are looking forward to our vow renewal at the summit on our one year.. Alexandra Gifford was our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely wonderful!!

as though they were just as invested in our day as we were. I am 100% positive there are so many other behind the scenes duties Alex was coordinating as well that I am not aware of and I would recommend her to anyone because she was an important part of making our wedding day so nice. Due to the severe winds we could not make it to the top for our first look and they helped up find a location down by the river under a bridge so we were covered from rain, supplied a golf cart and the Loon bus to get our wedding party there so they didn’t have to trek through mud and rain. They also provided us a champagne toast as we waiting in the Bunyon room for the ceremony to start. Even though our ceremony was inside, it felt incredibly intimate and personal as we stood in the middle of the dance floor as our wedding party stood around the fireplace….and yes Adam was right , the thunder, lighting and rain came down right in the middle of our ceremony and it was the best choice for the overall wedding. The weather cleared up after dinner and all of the guests were outside enjoying the patio, smoking cigars, even seeing a black bear run by which was a highlight! We had a sparkler send off at the end of the night which was an awesome experience for our guests as well. Loon was more than accommodating helping us with this. Do not be worried or alarmed that they do not do a food tasting, you will be absolutely blown away! The food was delicious (prime rib and butternut squash ravioli were guests favorite) and we received so many compliments from guests who have attended very lavish weddings and they thought the buffet was amazing along with all the appetizers (spanakopita was the other guests favorite). We also had a cucumber vodka lemonade as our signature drink and the guests loved it so much that they ended up running out of cucumber vodka. Also I brought in probably about 7 giant plastic containers of decorations for the venue complete with my own candle votives, place cards with rosemary for each table setting, 22 hand written signs, polaroid photo booth backdrop and props, custom poster guestbook and a memory table. Between the Loon staff and my florist everything was step up beyond what I even envisioned. Lastly the other great aspect of the venue is having the hotel so close. This allowed 90% of our guests to stay at the wedding during the entire duration, we had food at the hotel bar for late night snacks and had a farewell breakfast in the pub as well. Not to mention Friday after the rehearsal all of our guests relaxing and enjoying cocktails by the pool prior to our rehearsal dinner. This venue truly encompasses a great “destination” wedding for us and giving our guests a little view into the awesomeness of NH! We would choose Loon all over again!

out our planning process helped keep everything organized leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Although you were on able to have a taste test prior to the Big day the food was absolutely delicious. Many people commented on how it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had.

was completely at ease. They made the reception area so beautiful and I never had to worry about anything. Our wedding day was perfect and I can't say enough about how great the staff is!!

AMAZING... our guests are still talking about it. I highly recommend Loon.

our questions almost immediately. The venue was just plain awesome.You can't beat that beautiful view at the top of the Mountain and to top it off the food was amazing. If anyone is hesitant to book because of a chance of rain don't be. It rained through my first look and family photos and then cleared about 10 minutes before the ceremony started. They dried off all the seats and the ceremony still went on. The staff does everything they can to make sure that the ceremony will still be outside. I would highly recommend this venue. It was a perfect day!

m its winter ski season glory. The fire-pits outside on the patio were fantastic for sitting around and making s'mores. Adam was wonderful. He is easy to work with, detail oriented and made us feel at ease. Cheryl was fantastic. She made sure every little detail of the reception from food to drink to decor was given extra attention. Adam and Cheryl checked in with us and our immediate families to ensure our needs were met throughout the evening. My husband and I even had our own private cocktail hour with pre-ordered drinks waiting for us after our gondola ride down from the ceremony at the top of the mountain. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the wedding ceremony & reception was - location, food and staff!

the staff is all great to work with. Because they only do weddings on the weekends in the summer you cannot do a food tasting, however, it's not a concern because the food is amazing, even as left overs! Our wedding planner was Stacy and she was Wonderful! We had a medical incident and the staff not only handled things professionally they went out of their way to make sure the party went back on as planned and that I had a good time even after my grandmother was taken away via ambulance. On the surface is looks pricey per plate but for what you get it's really not. We would highly recommend Loon Mountain Resort to any couple who is looking for a unique and stunning wedding venue!

dam went above and beyond to give us exactly what we wanted, even when it was out of his hands (rainy weather)! He pushed everything around just so we could have our ceremony at the top of the mountain just as we planned it. We has also come up with a pretty good plan B just in case, which made me feel at ease with whatever happened. Thank you SO much, Loon!! My advice is if you have any questions about a venue, meet the coordinator and do a site visit, you will fall in love with this place!

It was also so nice and convenient to have accommodations right on site- and to be able to continue the party at the hotel bar after the reception. If we were to do the whole process again, we would 100% still pick Loon.

entire wedding planning process (which, as everyone knows, is not all fun and games) go so smoothly. I worked primarily with Jill, who was so great about answering my dozens of questions. Jill was so patient and organized, not to mention incredibly sweet and friendly. She responded to everything I asked quickly and thoroughly. She made sure every detail was accounted for and everything occurred according to plan - from working with Abby to find rose petals for our flower girl when we discovered they were missing, to making my husband and I a to-go box of food at the end of the night. Thanks to Jill, Abby, and the entire Loon staff, we felt we could actually enjoy our wedding day! Additionally, Loon Mountain, as a venue, is incredible. The ceremony site, reception venue, tables and chairs, place settings, catering, champagne toast, and cake cutting are included as a package price. When my husband and I got engaged, we researched easily 30 venues over four states: not only was Loon the most gorgeous, but it was also the most affordable. What makes Loon so unique (apart from the stunning views and gondola ride, of course), is that it also offers a very high quality of service. The reception venue is beautiful, the staff are amazing and easy to work with, and the food was delicious - one of my friends kept raving that it was the best food he had ever had at a wedding. The Loon staff handled both set up and clean up, and worked with honesty and integrity. At the end of the night, we had so many people tell us that ours was the best wedding they had ever been to - which I think speaks volumes about Loon. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and I cannot recommend them enough!

e facility like the back of her hand. She will be honest and give spot-on advice for set-up and planning, quick to respond to e-mails and had an answer for every little question- right down to how long it took to walk down the aisle! She made me feel like she had everything under control, and Abby and her staff truly did! When we first met to take a look at the venue, Abby mentioned a few renovation changes and all of them were completed by the time of our July wedding. If Abby says something will be done, it will get done. But she will also be honest and let you know if something is not best for planning. The Resort does not offer food tastings prior to the wedding, but seriously, you don't need it. We went with a buffet option of a carving station and chicken kiev. The food was AMAZING and I had several people tell me that the food was the best wedding food they've ever had. Even the appetizers, bacon wrapped scallops, spanekopetan and antipasto display- were so good! They even had two waitresses at the bottom of the gondola for us when we got down from the gondola. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather for an outdoor ceremony and the venue is truly breathtaking. We had minimal decorations at the summit ceremony site. Honestly, you really don't need any at all, the view is so breathtaking its all anyone can look at. Save your money on decorations and put it towards your bar! The plan B/ rain option is a ceremony in the Octagon room, which is really not a bad venue. The wood beams and spacious room is beautiful. However the staff is committed to having your ceremony outside- they leave the decision up to you. Apparently they have had many weddings in the rain at the mountain summit- and they have 75 umbrellas to provide to your guests if you so choose As for price, we did a lot of research on outdoor wedding venues and Loon was hands down one of the best options. They offer totally package options, which means no hidden fees or "surprise" add-ons. They take care of set up and break down, you don't have to rent tables or chairs, hire a caterer or any other concerns of a typical outdoor or DIY wedding. They have it all under control and it really shows. We felt very taken care of, and it was worth every penny. My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with our wedding at Loon and are so thankful we had such a memorable and happy day for ourselves, friends and family. Have your wedding at Loon! You will not regret it!

pful, I couldn't wait to meet her! She was going in for surgery the next week and our schedules were not working out to meet. She set me up a meeting with her co-worker, Andrew and he showed us around, the amphitheater at the summit, answered questions, etc. I mean, we knew where everything was but it was different looking at it all as a bride and set up for weddings opposed to the ski season. Abby and I kept in touch throughout the wintertime. She was so helpful, responsive and so enthusiastic about working together. It made the process so smooth and even though I hadn't officially met her in person, it felt like I had known her for years! When I went to drop off all of my decorations, I met Cheryl and Allie for the first time and Andrew again for the second time. They were there to help with our day and were absolutely wonderful. We had our rehearsal dinner at the lodge (where the staff wore Bruin's t-shirts knowing that we are big fans...amazing), ceremony at the summit and reception in the lodge. It was perfect. There was intense humidity both days, rain and thunderstorms on the wedding day and everyone had everything under control. They rolled with the punches and just told me where I needed to be and when...and ladies - at that point - you don't want to worry about that kind of stuff, trust the pros and let them take care of you! Thank you ALL for helping shape our day. We are so blessed and bursting with gratitude for all of your hard work and special attention to the best day of our life! xoxo, Alli & Ty

o all of our questions. From the get-go we loved the space that was available and of course the gorgeous view from the ceremony location at the top of the mountain! Like others, we were a little concerned that we couldn't pre-taste the menu, but we were SO PLEASED with how the food came out - a number of our guests pulled us aside to say how impressed they were with the way their steaks were cooked, how delicious the food was. Everything moved along right on schedule, and the husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We had some DIY components to our wedding and they were very accommodating in making sure that everything was set up how we wanted it and looked beautiful. It ended up being the relaxed, emotional, memorable day we had planned, and we couldn't ask for better. Thanks everyone from Loon!

out to be perfect. The mountaintop ceremony site is beautiful in any weather, and the gondola ride up and down the mountain was a great experience for our guests. -Staff: We worked mostly with Adam and Andrew. Everyone we worked with was so professional, friendly, and always willing to answer any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, Adam and Andrew worked very hard to make sure we could have our ceremony at the summit, despite unseasonably cool and misty weather. It ended up working out perfectly and our guests were so happy to have experienced the mountaintop ceremony! Believe me when I say that site is beautiful, even in the fog!! The gondola staff was so friendly and made sure that everyone got to the summit in time, taking special care with our less mobile family members. At the reception, all of the Loon staff was so friendly, and went out of their way to be helpful, including one staff member who fixed my bustle when it broke. -Reception venue: If you're a fan of the mountains and/or love to ski, this is the perfect venue. The lodge has rustic charm, and the addition of white lanterns and cafe lights transform the ski lodge to a wonderful reception venue. The outdoor patio with the fire pit was a nice touch. -Food/drink: We were a little nervous about not being able to do a tasting before the wedding, but the food was excellent! Our guests were very happy. My husband and I didn't finish our meals, and they boxed them up for us. We ate them around 2AM and the leftovers were delicious. The drink selection was great - we especially liked that they had some local beer options. We had a great experience at Loon and recommend it highly!

Loon and two places that were possibly more... "traditionally elegant". The other two were beautiful and it was a tough choice for us. I can't say which one would best suit someone else, but in hindsight I can't believe we even considered the other two!!!! We were deliriously happy with Loon and we wouldn't trade it for the world! I had originally gone in comparing the views and the reception sites 'apples to apples'. I was leaning towards Loon because of the unique experience of a ceremony at the summit. And Loon specifically because the mountain and the lodge (in my opinion) were much nicer than the other resorts we visited. Another selling point for me was that it is one (only one?) with enclosed gondola cabins. The mountain itself is fantastic for a wedding! There are tons of places for stunning pictures and the ceremony site is just perfect! But what really sold us completely on Loon was Abby. I can't imagine anyone more friendly, professional, knowledgeable, or wonderful to work with!! She was so open and honest with us, so we felt very comfortable that there would be no surprises at all with the venue, food, prices, or anything else. If you are planning a wedding (and you must be, if you are reading this!), you know what value that level of honesty is. When we started talking to the various vendors, every single one of them was very happy that we had picked Loon - they reinforced what we had already discovered about how pleasant Abby and all the staff are to work with! Speaking of staff, I was continually amazed by them. Even when people didn't know we were there for a wedding (like the gondola operators), they were awesome - so friendly, smiling, and welcoming. We truly felt at ease there throughout the entire process, like it was completely run by our best friends. You may be picturing something different for your wedding, and you should stick with what speaks to your heart. But if you are considering a mountain top ceremony or just some place with amazing people and food (with rustic elegance), then we heartily recommend you take a look at Loon!!!! If you do end up there, please tell Abby and all the staff that we said hello and thanks for an absolutely perfect wedding!!!

t venues, nothing clicked! Suddenly, I saw (on the Knot) that Loon Mountain also had a mountaintop ceremony! It was perfect! I grew up hiking in the White Mountains, my fiance (now husband) was born and raised in New Hampshire, he and I met at the University of New Hampshire, and we regularly skied at Loon. From day one, I everything was so easy. I emailed them and set up an appointment to come see everything. We met with Abby, and right away we loved her! She answered every question we had, and we didn't feel like she was selling us anything at all! We didn't feel pressured from her, and we knew we liked that laid back nature! The pricing was great - about $100 per person, which was including taxes and gratuity, for a buffet dinner. There were so many options for food, but I was a bit nervous, since it's a ski place! Through the whole year, Abby and I corresponded over email and she was always so helpful. When it got down to the last month or so, she was basically my therapist, calming my nerves and relieving me of stress! The whole year was so easy, and I was able to do everything over email! I live in Boston, so it was a little too far to go. The wedding was amazing, and even though it was foggy, it was still so much fun and the staff made the night flow so well and I was not stressed at all! All of the guests were amazed at how unique the whole thing was, and how the wedding definitely stood out! PROS: Mountain top ceremony Unique location AMAZING Coordinators (1 all year long and 3 on the day of!) Fire pit Adorable wooden stick chairs Hotel within walking distance A good size town with plenty of activities for those who want to stay longer Food was DELICIOUS! Everyone said it was SO good! Great price for everything CONS: The weather could be bad (mine was completely foggy) and the back up plan is just to have the ceremony in the lodge and I didn't think it was great. I have to say that they do ALL they can to have it outside. Mine was outside still, and even if it was raining they have 70 golf umbrellas that they would give out to the crowd if need be!

l and the mountains offered a backdrop unrivaled anywhere else! The reception was held in the Octagon Lodge (an unbelievable transformation from winter to summer!) and the room looked so beautiful! The cocktail hour was complete with delicious hors d'oeuvres and the fire pit was kept going all night so everyone could enjoy it! We opted for the buffet, and the food was so delicious! Jillian, Katie and Abby were so helpful all night (not to mention throughout entire planning process!)- they assured me I wouldn't have to worry about anything, that they would make sure everything went smooth- and they most certainly did! Our wedding was 2 months ago and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how unique and beautiful the wedding was! Thank you Loon!

ke in the summer and if they had the proper facilities to accommodate our wants and needs. Although we were hesitant about signing a contract without knowing if they would have air conditioning, great food that we could try before, or an equally great rain backup plan, we signed anyways. I am so glad that we did. We visited in the summer after we signed our contract and met more of the event coordinators which helped ease some of our worries. Then, we visited again about a month before our wedding the following summer. We sat down with Katie and Jillian and went over every little detail. I had written down questions, but they answered all of them before I even had the chance to ask them. I was completely at ease and happy with everything once I met Katie and Jill. I knew that they would do an amazing job and they absolutely went above and beyond. When we met with them again the Thursday before our wedding, we felt completely comfortable telling them all our worries about the day and knew that they would ease our stress and take care of everything. They had thought of everything and planned everything for me. Katie helped my bridesmaids and I set up our reception decorations the day before. She stayed late to let us in the Octagon Lodge when she could have already been at home. She let my Aunt bring in her own baked beans for the rehearsal dinner because it was important to us. My uncles made cupcakes for us and our coordinators were there early to make sure they were pleased with the arrangement. My cousin played cocktail hour and there were people there to make sure he was all set up. I remember that when I got down from the gondola after our incredibly perfect ceremony, Katie was there literally feeding me scallops wrapped in bacon in between pictures because she didn't want my bridal party to accidentally eat the ones she had set aside for me. I thought that I was going to be so anxious throughout the weekend, but Katie and Jill really put me at ease. We have had many weddings in my large extended family, but I had several aunts and uncles tell me that this wedding venue was by far the most impressive (and most fun). I can't say enough about the quality of the event coordinators. As for my friends, they cannot stop talking about the food. Not only was each meal cooked perfectly, but there was so much on every plate! They made sure to get us to-go boxes for the after party or the next day. My friends and family even got some! Our coordinators made sure we ate and it was excellent food, if not the best I have had at any wedding. My parents couldn't have been more pleased with everything. We are extremely grateful for the amazing weekend we had at loon and cannot wait to go back for several years to come to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you so much.

tting up and they made sure everything ran smoothly. There was no need for a day of coordinator. The food was delicious, we had many of our guest say this was "the best wedding food they have ever had." The view from the top of the mountain is breath taking. This was the perfect place to get married. Our guest were relaxed and had a blast as did we. I would recommend planning your wedding at Loon if your looking for a rustic/outdoor wedding. The outdoor patio and fireplace were a big hit for our guest. If you choose Loon you will not be disappointed!

ou run the risk of rain. We took the risk because we fell in love with Loon as soon as we sat down for our consultation. On the day of our wedding it started misting in the morning. We received a call from Abby, the wedding coordinator, asking if we would like to have our ceremony inside or continue with our wedding on the top of the mountain. We chose to risk it all and stick with the mountain top ceremony. Loon was great and provided 75 umbrellas even though it was not raining as the guests were going up the gondola for the ceremony. When the ceremony started we had a small patch of blue sky above us. My father gave me away to my husband and our ceremony started. As soon as my Aunt started the opening prayer raindrops began to drip down. Then, it was a torrential sideways downpour. Now you might think I am giving a bad review at this point, but no, this was the most amazing thing to happen on our wedding day! It was so much fun, everyone was laughing and smiling, and the show went on! Rain or shine your wedding day feels like the best day of your life and in our situation, the rain only made it better! We then went to the bottom of the mountain to start cocktail hour. We were greeted at the end of the gondola with a table full of towels and Loon staff helping us with anything we asked for. The bridal party was shuttled down to the river to take group photos, soaked and all! The pictures came out amazing! Once we were announced into the reception we were immediately greeted by a server asking if we needed anything to drink. We were able to eat our meals at our sweetheart table and then continued our amazing reception! The meals are incredible! The staff constantly made sure we were taken care of throughout the night. I would highly recommend Loon Mountain as a wedding venue to anyone looking to have an amazing New Hampshire wedding! The staff is unbelievable and the venue is beautiful, rain or shine!!

ooking at vendors it wasn't our first choice, well, actually it was mine, but my Wife had not really seen it. So I asked her "Have you seen Loon?" & she said "Yeah, it's nice..." & then I said, " Oh, then you haven't seen Loon!" So I showed her, and after being speechless for a second, she said "It's perfect!" We met with Jon, the wedding coordinator (who later left us in the awesome care of Jillian) & signed the contract. We were stoked. Being the primary planner of the wedding, I was so happy with our choice! The site itself is an ampitheater located on one of the runs off of the Gondola, opening out upon the valley, with a intimate Ceremony deck, stadium seating and onsite sound. You truly have to see it to believe it. To look out over the valley, like you are floating, surrounded by the lush green of mountains in the summer, breathtaking, spectacular, deeply moving. All throughout the process of planning Jillian (who became our wedding coordinator) was fantastic! She was laid back, helpful, and super clear about making this day about us! In every way I felt comfortable and confident with her and that we were going to have a killer wedding! Here's the breakdown... You take a 4 seat gondola up to the top of the mountain, awesome views abound, and then a short little walk to the site. Then after the ceremony a lovely gondola ride back down, and the reception was in the Octagon Lodge, et voila! I would also like to mention that Loon also provided a little ATV shuttle for those guests who were in need of a little assistance to get to the ceremony site. They covered everything! While Jillian was in charge of the over all wedding process (most mightily I might add), Katie was the tour de force for our Reception! She oversees the food (we had an awesome buffet!), bar and the set up of the tables, cake/ cupcakes, favors, posters, signs, and decorations! Man Katie was the Bomb! The food was on point, the bar was flowing and she absolutely killed it with the set up & decorations! She also made sure all the fellas had their Boutonnieres fastened! She even made a quick trip to my room to get a payment for our shuttle service... Man she was good. In addition, both Katie and Jillian repurposed our flowers from the ceremony site and set them up in the reception... as well as decorating our cupcake tower with flowers and candles. Each table was beautiful, and the wait staff was super kind & helpful, in every way possible, including breaking down the reception and organizing our stuff so we could pack it up the next day! My wife & I had a ton of cool signs and creative aspects to our wedding and Jillian & Katie were incredible in working with us to use them them in the best way possible! Outside there was a fire pit running all night, where people could sit & chill, jam on their guitars, or play the hand made Baggo Game I brought, which Katie and her staff set up. It was the PERFECT set up! Perfect. So there you have it. It was in every way... Beautiful. Thank you Loon Mountain Resort. Thank you Jillian, Thank you Katie, Thank you everyone that made our Celebration of Love so wonderful. ~Heather & Christopher

ding day perfect. They were understanding, informative, and fun. They worked hard to make sure every detail of the wedding fit our vision. They were patient through many emails, phone calls, and even some last minute changes. I cannot imagine planning a wedding without the support and expertise of this great team of professionals! Loon Mountain is a beautiful place to get married. Out guests loved the unique gondola ride and were thrilled by the gorgeous mountain top views. While there are many beautiful wedding venues in New Hampshire, Loon Mountain is certainly one of the most breathtaking. Loon Mountain made our wedding day truly the happiest day of our lives! For many years we will enjoy visiting Lincoln, New Hampshire and recalling our wonderful experience at Loon.

eater type setting at the summit. Guests ride a 4-person gondola to get to the ceremony. How unique is that! In a nutshell: What I appreciated most about the experience was 1) how helpful and kind the staff was, 2) the value 3) the beauty. My husband and I had a lot of D-I-Y stuff in our wedding and so we had a lot of questions for the staff at several times throughout our planning process. Abby and Adam were super helpful every step of the way. We also DJed our own reception (we are control freaks about music and didn't want to pay someone else to play music we hate). We had a friend MC, and rented our own sound equipment. Even though it was probably annoying for them, the staff was very laid back about what we wanted to do. And yes-- we had to worry about a lot of the things that a DJ usually takes care of (setting up and breaking down equipment, etc) but that was worth it to us. Our reception was in the Octagon Lodge, which I think is the cafeteria during ski season. It sounds weird, something fancy like a wedding reception in a ski lodge. the coordinator for the reception, Katie, had the place set up so beautifully. We had a gorgeous day so our guests were even able to enjoy the beautiful patio at the base of the mountain, complete with lounge chairs and fire pit. We did the dinner buffet style, there are a lot of options. We don't live in NH so we were unable to do a tasting in advance, but we didn't need to because everything tasted delicious. This is the slightly less expensive option, but I think even if we went with the plated dinner, the cost still would have been pretty manageable. It's actually an incredible value when you consider that the wedding venue and reception are all included in the price. The setting is just absolutely beautiful and is priceless. Here is an example of the kind staff: We were staying at the hotel at Loon Mountain, the Mountain Club (a separate entity from Loon Mountain where the wedding was, so don't confuse this review as including the hotel staff.). The morning of the wedding, the power went out in all of Lincoln. So I naturally ended up sobbing in the fetal position on my bed. Adam called my room to assure me that they were working on a plan, the gondola was still running, and by hook or by crook we were going to have the wedding that we planned. I really appreciated that he didn't try and convince me that it would be "just as nice" if we couldn't do it as planned. That's patronizing. we're super lucky that the weather was so perfect on our wedding day; there's always a risk when you plan an event outdoors. But everything about the day (after the power came back on (: ) was absolutely perfect. And so much of that is thanks to Abby, Adam, and Katie who were helping run the show. I would do it again exactly the same, over and over.

untain is breathtaking. They also have microphone/speakers up at the top for the ceremony! The gondola ride to the ceremony site is a unique experience and guests love it! The Octagon Lodge is beautiful with the large windows and exposed beams. Even their chairs and tables have the rustic wooden look to them. The Mountain Club At Loon is in walking distance which is perfect to stay for your wedding weekend! This venue creates an amazing experience for you and your guests. Loon Mountain allows you to have 3 different locations for the price of 1 (ceremony site, outside patio for cocktail hour, reception lodge) – I know some of the wedding sites we were looking at charged you for each room you used. Staff- I had the pleasure of working with Jillian and Andrew for most of my planning. They answered every e-mail very quickly and were very helpful in my planning process. Katie, who was the food and banquet coordinator, knocked it out of the park! Katie has lots of energy and very organized. At my final meeting before the wedding Jillian, Andrew and Katie took me through how the day would run and how the room would look. I felt so confident that my day would be beautiful as I felt like I was in good hands. Before I left the mountain that day I grabbed a quick bite to eat on the mountain. Katie was in the café too and took a seat with me and we started chatted. She wanted to get to know a little bit more about my fiancé and I. It is little moments like that, they will make a huge impact on a bride and groom’s experience. I knew my heart no matter what happened that day that the staff at Loon would do their very best to take care of us, and they did, our wedding day went so smoothly. Jillian, Andrew, Katie, the wait staff, the bartenders and gondola staff worked as a team with my wedding coordinator, All The Fuss Events, and made our wedding day the best day of my life. Food- I will be honest I was extremely worried about the food since we did not do a tasting before the wedding. I had spoken with some pervious couples and they all assured me the food would be good, however I was still worried. We decided to do a buffet spread for the reception, I took the first bite of food of my plate and it was delicious! We did chicken and beef and I heard great things from the guest about both options. The food tasted homemade and it tasted so fresh! You will not be disappointed!! Overall Experience – I am so glad we chose Loon Mountain Resort as our wedding venue. The location was perfect, the food was excellent and the staff was so accommodating. We could not have picked a better venue.

o an incredible job of ensuring your happiness. Erin, one of the servers, even took my shoes off for me (they were a little tricky). I had pictures to display on the TV in the Octagon Lodge for the reception, and the marketing guy (I can't remember his name) went through and re-sized over 450 pictures on a flash drive and put them into a nice slideshow format. The coordinators knew how much we enjoyed the rum punch at the top and made sure we each got one while we did our pictures during cocktail hour (even though the place closed before we got up there). Who needs a wedding planner when the venue event planners coordinated everything with all of our other vendors, and decorated everything that I did not take care of myself, including moving the ceremony decor down from the top of the mountain to the reception at the bottom? They really do define the expression "going above and beyond." I couldn't be happier with our decision to get married at Loon Mountain. Thank you to everyone who made the night so incredibly special and memorable.

day. We got so many compliments from our guests. HIGHLY recommended!

recommend this venue to one of my friends.

ho had their wedding there so I put it in the hands of two women, Peggy & Mary, and hoped for the best. They made sure that every detail was covered, all T's crossed and I's dotted. My expectations for what was to be the best day of my life was beyond what I imagined. If you want a beautiful place with people who know WHAT they are doing Loon Mountain is the place to go. All of our guests are still telling us it was the best and most beautiful wedding they had ever been too. Even if all my details hadn't been perfect the scenery and view would have been enough.
