We had an absolutely outstanding experience at Mt. Sunapee! My daughter's wedding was one that was postponed from 2020 to 2021 due to COVID. In the end, she and her husband had the wedding of their dreams. The staff were so easy and helpful to work with from our first visit through picking up the decor the morning after. They really go above and beyond to make it happen just as you want it. Communication is strong; they always kept us up to date with the status of every detail. As mother of the bride, I was able to fully enjoy myself at the wedding knowing that Theresa, Brady and their team were on top of everything.
The food was delicious and portions were generous. Many places are currently struggling to be fully staffed at this time (summer 2021) but this was not a problem at all. Lots of staff and great service -- all with smiles!
One of our guests has significant medical issues and limited mobility. At the end of the wedding his wife told me that the staff had done everything possible to make him comfortable, which really touched me. (Accessibility features include driving up to the lodge to avoid stairs, golf carts to and from the lift, and an elevator in the lodge.)
The space works really well, with the two levels. When not dancing, many guests looked on from the mezzanine so had a good view of the action without being crowded. It's all well maintained, and hardly needs much additional decorating. The flowers outside the lodge add a beautiful touch!

We had our wedding in July of 2019. We booked two years in advanced and had such a great experience the whole way through. I quickly became close to Pipere and the rest of the crew. We attended the couples open house and stayed in close contact every step of the way. The communication was incredible, even during a few hiccups. From change in employees to change in upper management (purchased by Vail Resorts) the conversation was always clear and detailed. The day of the wedding, from decorations to minor details and last minute changes, the team was incredible. The flowers were so beautiful and small items to fill the room made my true vision come to life. I truly felt taken care of and the team made the experience perfect. Thank you to the entire team, from the bottom of our hearts. - Monica and Chris 7/13/19

Ken and I had our wedding on September 27 at Mt Sunapee’s gorgeous mountainside venue. The location was absolutely beautiful, inside and outside, making for a dreamlike experience. The food that Mt. Sunapee provided was spectacular, and many of our guests commented that it was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding. All of the staff at Mt. Sunapee did an over the top job of setting up the décor that we provided before we got there, and the communication with Pipere, Laura, and everyone else was very easy. Compared to other wedding venues, and what we got from Mt. Sunapee was amazing for the price. They provided us with suggestions for vendors, lodging, and even things to do the weekend after the wedding. The only downside is there is very little cell reception at the venue, but this did not damper our day.
Having only three months from the time we got engaged to our wedding date, we knew it would be tough to get our wedding planned, but Mt. Sunapee made it very easy. They were flexible with their availability and prices, and they really went above and beyond to make this the wedding of our dreams. They have a food minimum, rather than charge by guest count, which took a lot of stress off of our shoulders when considering who to invite to the wedding. Ken and I highly recommend to anyone getting married in New England to consider Mt. Sunapee as their wedding venue.

We worked with Sunapee for over a year and half planning our big day. There were some changes in resort ownership and changes in coordinator staffing during this time but we still had a very smooth experience. Our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony were offsite. We had our cocktail hour and reception at Mount Sunapee Resort. Laura was a huge help in the final months. She coordinated final details with our vendors and went above and beyond to retrieve our custom ordered ice cream from Sanctuary Dairy Farm. Our guests loved the setting and atmosphere of our reception. Everyone was especially blown away by the chair lift ride to the summit during the cocktail hour. We will always remember our big day at Sunapee! Thanks for the memories!

Overall we had a positive experience with this venue! The best part of this venue was Laura (Event Coordinator)!! Laura decorated the reception hall so we didn’t need to worry about this the day of! I loved that it was a surprise for us when we got announced in too. We did ceremony off-site but went to take photos at the mountaintop where ceremony could’ve taken place. Laura met us at the top with a golf cart to save us from the chill which was great! We did have a small issue with the chairlift run time but it was satisfactorily resolved. We were also met with the delicious cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres (artichoke dip is a must) when we got off the chairlift. They do the dinner upstairs (if certain guest number) and the reception downstairs so we did need a good number of centerpieces but I liked that dinner was completely separate from the rest of the reception. The lodge itself is really great with cool photo opportunities, but it’s Laura and her hard work that definitely makes this venue shine.

We are still a glow over the fabulous event that we just had at the Mount Sunapee Resort. Our daughter was just married here last weekend. Everything was simply spectacular. The location is warm and thoroughly inviting. But the STAFF simply outdid themselves. Laura and her team are outstanding partners. They worked closely with my daughter to ensure that they understood her vision. And then they did EVERYTHING that weekend so that we could simply relax and enjoy our celebration. I strongly recommend this location for your special day.

Mt. Sunapee did an incredible job with our wedding. Everything went smoothly and we received many compliments on how well run the ceremony, reception, etc. were. This was due in large part to Laura and Pipere, who are very organized and communicative. It was an awesome experience working with the whole staff and we appreciate all the work they put in to making our day an exceptional experience. We can't recommend enough!

We were planning a wedding from New Jersey and the staff at Mount Sunapee couldn't have made the experience more simple. They took care of everything and made it a wonderful and memorable experience overall. If you want to get married at a beautiful location with delicious food and incredible service; this is the place!

I don’t even know where to start! Amber and I chose the Mount Sunapee Resort as our wedding ceremony and reception location and couldn’t be any happier. From the time we first started working with Laura, the event coordinator, she was helpful, knowledgeable and overall amazing, and kept all of the many details straight. Whether it was the rehearsal, the set up of all of our decorations that we dropped off or making sure that we had anything and everything on our wedding day, she went above and beyond our greatest expectations. The most important thing is that there was literally NOTHING that didn’t go how we had planned it to. There was also Mike who was in charge of making sure we ate that day which was something we had never expected to have. From the time we got off of the chairlift after the ceremony and were quietly brought into the building to get ready for our introduction, he was right there with a platter full of food from cocktail hour and was taking our drink order. The entire night went so perfect that it feels like it was a dream, but we are both so happy that we chose the Mount Sunapee Resort. We couldn’t be more thankful that we had Laura, Mike and all of the other extremely helpful and competent staff there to keep everything running smoothly. I can’t tell you how many of our guests came up to us during and after to tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Whether it was how beautiful everything was and how they loved the way we transitioned from the first floor to the second floor and back down, how good the food was or how efficiently everything was done. They loved it also and I would recommend the Mount Sunapee Resort to anyone who is looking for an amazing place to have their wedding.

The moment we walking into Mount Sunapee with the idea of having out wedding there, we were hooked! The mountain top ceremony and the indoor venue looked beautiful! Pipere and Laura were very helpful during the days of planning! Despite windy and misty conditions at the summit they made our ceremony go off without a hitch all the while giving us many options to make sure we were happy. Our reception was perfect! We had so much fun and would recommend this venue to all future couples

My Sunapee was the first venue we looked at. After visiting and speaking with the staff it was the only venue we looked at. It was such a beautiful venue. We do a lot of fishing on the lake so it also had a lot of great memories for us so it was a no brainer. It was the most perfect day. The weather was beautiful and the mountain and reception area were PERFECT. It is sometimes so difficult to imagine a “ski resort” looking so perfect but it truly was. The lighting and two separate floors were so stunning and everything I’ve ever dreamed of plus some. The staff were so wonderful to work with, answering all of our questions and helping us with everything. We couldn’t have had a better time! Thank you for everything! We cannot wait to come back to visit both in the winter and summer

We initially put Mount Sunapee on our list because it was close to home and it matched the outdoor feeling we were looking for. They responded quickly to our email about meeting. We had skied at the mountain plenty of times, but the pictures the event coordinator showed us were gorgeous! Just the right amount of elegance mixed with a rustic feeling. They walked us through our ceremony options and knew the second we saw the summit ceremony that this was our venue! We were engaged at the top of a ski mountain and knew this was a perfect match. We booked immediately. From the get-go, Laura provided all of the information we needed, answering plenty of questions in a timely manner. I knew I was in good hands. She explained logistics clearly which left me with zero doubts that the day would go smoothly. I was not wrong. The entire day went so smoothly that I keep asking myself if something went wrong and I just didn’t realize it. The summit ceremony was gorgeous. The views are unbelievable and the chairlift provides a unique experience for your guests. The reception was absolutely perfect, the patio allowed guests to venture outside and the lodge provided an intimate feeling, bringing everyone together but with plenty of space to sit if necessary. Everyone was incredibly attentive and made sure everyone felt like they were a priority. We are forever indebted to the mountain and staff for providing an unbelievable experience! Not a question, we would absolutely recommend them to everyone!

My husband, Bruce, and I, held our summit wedding at Mount Sunapee on 08/30/19. There is not enough I can say about the perfection of it all. Even though there was a sudden change in staff a few short months before our wedding, all of the coordinators handled it with grace and ease. Laura and Pipere are absolutely incredible. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. From the weather we were blessed to have on the day of our wedding, to the absolute deliciousness of the food, the day could not have been better. It was everything we imagined it to be and more. Having skied Sunapee many times throughout our lives, we knew the first time we went there for a wedding consult that it was our place. Thank you Laura, Pipere, and all the other staff members at Mount Sunapee. We are honored and grateful that we got to spend the most special day with you all.

Mount Sunapee was a beautiful location for our September wedding. We could not have asked for a better location.

It pushed everyone to be down near the dance floor. It was so stunning! We are so pleased!

My husband and I held our wedding at Mount Sunapee Resort, and we could not have had a better experience. We first encountered Mount Sunapee Resort through an online search, and we were intrigued both by the incredibly positive reviews as well as the slightly lower price point compared to our other top contenders. The day we visited the location and met Pipere and Lynda in person, we knew that this was the place and the team for us.
Throughout the year-long planning process, Pipere and Lynda were fantastic resources. They were responsive, thoughtful, thorough, and upbeat, and we knew early on that we were in good hands. Especially given how many weddings they organize each season, it’s remarkable that they remained so attuned and proactive as our advisers and collaborators to make sure we would have the wedding we wanted.
During the wedding, Pipere and Lynda were fantastic at shepherding us and keeping us to schedule without taking away from any given moment, and they knew how best to accommodate small deviations as needed. The staff treated our guests incredibly well and were so welcoming. Our wedding was on the larger side and we had the interactive stations for dinner (the fan favorite was the mashed potato bar!), and even so we received consistent compliments on the speed and friendliness of the service throughout the night.
While the location itself is a bit far from major airports and the more rural location (paired with spotty cell reception) limited ridesharing services like Lyft, we felt it was worth it for what it offered in views and overall ambiance. We were treated to stunning vistas during our ceremony at the top of Mount Sunapee – accessible via a 12-minute chairlift ride – and when we returned to the two-floor lodge, we enjoyed a beautifully decorated interior, with charming arrangements of lanterns, candle chandeliers, tables, and accessories.
It goes without saying that we would highly recommend Mount Sunapee Resort, both for its natural beauty and for its top-notch organizers and staff. Thank you for all that you do!

We absolutely LOVED our Mount Sunapee wedding! The chair lift was a hit for our guests and the venue made for a perfect dinner and dance space. We heard the appetizers were a hit -- I only wish we had finished photos sooner so we could have tried more of them. The catering staff was phenomenal, and they helped me to pull off my dream of having an ice cream sundae bar at our wedding! It rained a bit during the ceremony but we were still able to pull off our perfect day.
One note is that the Sunapee staff seemed a little unprepared for our rehearsal. We were able to make it work since some of our wedding party had coordinated weddings before, but the staff was relatively unhelpful. Also, we found out the morning before the wedding that there were some changes to the chair lift regulations (e.g. signing waivers, babies being brought up the lift) -- it didn't end up being a big deal, but it would have been nice to know more than a day in advance.
Overall, we would definitely recommend Mount Sunapee -- it was a beautiful spot for our big day!

The Rochefort Peterson Wedding July 6th 2018
We both have ties to the Sunapee area and we knew we wanted to get married there. We took a trip to the mountain and met with Lynda and Pipere shortly after we got engaged. We booked immediately. Our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect. The venue had the laid back but beautiful and classic vibe we were going for. We have hiked and skiid the mountain many times but when we stood at the summit and imagined our wedding day it was everything we had envisioned. People have told us that it was the most beautiful ceremony and we would have to agree. The views are breathtaking. Lynda was so accomodating and easy to work with (and I had a lot of questions). The food was delicious. Our guests had a great time! I can’t recommned this venue enough. If you’re looking for a beautiful mountain wedding this is the best option out there!

The Maltais Maccini wedding on 10-20-18 was incredible! The staff at Mount Sunapee were super accommodating and could not do enough to help. Meghan, Piper and Lynda were experts with all the planning and details. With all that needed to be done it was easy to overlook or forget a detail... but not with this team! You give them supplies and explain your vision and they piece it together! The "stuff" you don't think of is done and its fabulous.
The ceremony at the summit was priceless and an "extra" that is well worth the little expense. Guests raved about how happy they were that the "braved" the ride. The food was loved by the guests and the choices we picked for the appetizers were awesome. Guests loved the pesto shrimp, scallops and bacon and enjoyed the bruschetta. OMG! the Filet was the winner and people could not rave enough about how it was cooked and the flavor. Compliments to the chef!
Doug (recommended by the Sunapee Staff) hit the nail on the head with his song list and the dance floor was packed all night. The memories made for this awesome event occured all weekend and were made by everyone but the staff of this wedding resort and the setting/ accommodations were phenomenal and we could not be more pleased with the event and the service.
The next morning when we picked up our stuff it was neatly packaged and ready for us! they were the best and could not do enough for us. Thank you so much for making this year long planned event for our daughter just what we imagined and wanted!

I trusted them with our special day and it paid off! The mountain top wedding is to die for. Our friends and family have still not stopped talking about it. The fall foliage was amazing. Even though it was a bit chilly that day it was still perfect! Riding a chairlift in a wedding gown and without skis is quite the experience. I wouldnt have wanted our special day at any other location!

I cannot say enough good things about our wedding experience with Mount Sunapee Resort!! I happened to hike this mountain a couple years back, saw the benches at the summit ceremony spot, and just fell in love with the view...I knew this was the place! Though it is not an inexpensive venue, it is absolutely a dream to have started our journey as a married couple at the top of the mountain. Lynda and Pipere are awesome to work with, answering all of my questions promptly through email, and following up with me to keep me on a timeline through all of the wedding crazy. Lynda, Mel, and staff did an amazing job with the setup and coordinating beforehand and the day of, so that all I had to do was show up and my day went flawlessly! They require you to cater through them, but the food is also delicious!!

Our wedding day was everything we could have imagined. Lynda and Pipere were very attentive throughout the entire planning process, and they really made sure everything went smoothly the night of. The entire serving staff were so kind and professional, and the food was delicious. The weather didn't necessarily cooperate, but despite the fog and wind our guests had a blast riding the chair lift up the mountain during the cocktail hour; they considered it an adventure and the pictures were priceless. Our only complaint- we wish the night could have lasted longer.

The Mount Sunapee resort was better than we could have expected. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!!! Lynda and Pipere were so helpful with all our questions and organizing us the day-of. They made sure our wedding went smoothly. The view, the food, our band, the price, and the weather, blew our minds. The wonderful thing about this venue is that everything is within a mile. You can have all your guests stay in the three nearby hotels, have a welcome party and a bonfire at the mountain edge-resort the night before, and have an after-party at the salt hill pub! We had our rehearsal dinner on Sunapee cruises which is nearby as well. Everyone was wonderful and we will never forget our amazing wedding!!!

5 stars all around! From the view to the venue, everything was perfect. Lynda and Pipere were more than accommodating and a pleasure to work with through all of our back and forth on all sorts of matters. The venue's decorations were fantastic and the staff was more than happy to have us bring our own to add a personal flare.
We had many folks who had never been on a chairlift and were scared to say the least... the staff made sure to slow it down for the elderly and ensured everyone had a safe ride to the top and back. We had the most perfect day and would recommend Mt. Sunapee to anyone looking for a wedding with a mountain flair.

Lynda and Pipere put an incredible amount of thought into making our wedding day special. We were very set on having the summit ceremony while the weather forecast showed a high likelihood of thunderstorms. Knowing how much we wanted to have our ceremony on the mountaintop, they waited as late as they could..the day of our wedding...to make a decision, which allowed us to go up to the summit. They also have a huge amount of decorations available at the base lodge to transform the space for the reception. We brought a surplus of our own decor, but we honestly didn't really even need them. All of our guests were so charmed by the indoor space and the view from the summit took everyone's breath away. The food was also amazing...we would HIGHLY recommend including the filet. The bar has some restrictions given NH laws, but they were very accommodating and allowed us to come up with our own personal cocktails (decorated with rosemary sprigs). The venue also allowed us to have a traditional ceremony in the lodge, and the dance floor set the perfect stage to showcase this event. All in all, we are so happy to have picked this venue, and our guests have repeatedly told us that the summit ceremony was just unforgettable.

Our wedding at Mount sunapee resort was a dream come true! Not only is the summit ceremony absolutely breathtaking, and the lodge reception also stunning, the staff and coordinators Lynda and piper were so amazing to work with every step of the way! They were so helpful with every and anything we needed that day and all the days leading up to it! Dropping off the decorations the night before I felt so confident in leaving everything in Lynda’s hands and she went above and beyond our expectations! The food was also very good and a lot of people complimented on it. People were referring to our venue as a hidden gem saying they didn’t know about it and how perfect everything about it was! I will be recommending this place to any and everyone who is looking for a venue for their special day! Once again Lynda and Pipere and the mount sunapee staff thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!

Where to start .....
From the age of 7 years old, I grew up skiing the trails of Mount Sunapee. It was like my extended playground as a child. So when it came time to pick a venue, I only had one place in mind.
From the initial email exchange, all the way to the end of our wedding night, every thing was perfect. Lynda and Pipere were so thorough through all of our email correspondences, our phone calls, and our on site visits.
I literally can't think of a single thing that wasn't perfect:
- The food .... literally our guests haven't stopped raving about it. Kudos to the kitchen for holding our plated dinner service an extra 20+ minutes because we had 9 toasts! The steaks still came out perfect and the plates were presented beautifully. All our guests with dietary restrictions were well taken care of.
- Obviously the views .... Can you beat it? We had so many guests tell us that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. We had several guests mention a concern about riding the chairlift. We ensured them that the staff working the lift would accommodate whatever assistance they needed. The lift operators literally made it so easy, that ALL of our guests rode the chairlift to the top. Even those with their initial concerns complimented how beautiful it was. I also think it gave the time before and after the ceremony an extra sense of peace, especially as the bride, because I had 12 minutes of quiet solitude to slow down and truly enjoy the moment. It was so special to relax with my dad on the ride up. Everything we had worked so hard to plan and prepare for was about to come to fruition, and we had time to sit back and take a deep breath.And when the ceremony was over, I had that same time on the way down with my new husband. It was the only time all evening that we had each others undivided attention. No guests, no family, no photographers, just us. And it was perfect.
- The staff ..... Beyond outstanding. They were so kind, so helpful, so accommodating, and so eager to make our guests happy. They truly have a team of hard working people that care about what they do. They care about the events, their guests, and their brides and grooms. Not to mention, their attention to detail was impeccable.
- Lynda + Pipere ..... I literally cannot say enough good things. I could hug them 100 times again and again. They are the sweetest, kindest, most genuine people. They might have been coordinating 20+ weddings in addition to mine, but they always made me feel like I had their undivided attention. They were always eager to answer our questions and were so knowledgeable on everything. You can tell they are seasoned wedding coordinators and let me tell you, you want them helping you. Quite possibly my favorite thing about both of them, is how patient and understanding they are. Throughout everyone's wedding planning process, there are countless questions and emails you have to answer. Sometimes vendors can come off as pushy or rushed, which can add unnecessary stress. Let me just say, Lynda and Pipere were the exact opposite. Even when deadlines were fast approaching, they had a way of communication with such ease that it always calmed my nerves. I knew I was in good hands and that they cared about making my wedding day perfect just as much as I did.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to MOUNT SUNAPEE RESORT for making all of our wedding day dreams come true. We love you guys and forever cherish our wedding. memories!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! We had our wedding there on Friday and it was absolutely stunning. Lynda and Pipere were so helpful and responsive through the whole planning process, which made planning the wedding from AZ relatively painless. We chose to have the summit ceremony and it was absolutely worth it. Our guests were from all over and were blown away by how beautiful the area was. The actual venue is so beautiful- Lynda and Pipere did an amazing job decorating and incorporating our personal decorations. The food was outstanding as well! We chose the buffet- I highly recommend the carving station. At the cocktail hour, guests commented how nicely the food and coffee stations were laid out/passed out. The lodge is gorgeous with the exposed wooden beams and twinkle lights. We are SO happy we chose this place- perfect in every way!

Mount Sunapee Resort was a great wedding venue. The staff was easy to work with and I was comfortably able to plan the wedding despite being in an advanced degree program at the same time. They thought of everything and supplied so many little details; like fun props to take photos with, extra centerpiece decorations, and baskets to collect cards-all details I didn't have time to plan. Besides the helpful staff, the venue is breathtaking. The chairlift to the top is an amazing experience for guests (even the grandparents loved it). The lodge and outdoor patio were both such relaxed and fun environments for the reception. Many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended and we think so too!

My husband and I got married at Mount Sunapee Resort earlier this month and it truly was the BEST day of our lives!! We would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have a great, memorable, STRESS-FREE wedding day. Lynda, Pipere and Megan were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish and had every detail down to a science the day of!!!! They were so quick to respond to every little question I had over the 8 months of planning. Even responding to my emails late at night or over the weekend. My husband and I decided to do a buffet and we did not try the food until the weekend before the wedding. We were VERY happy with the food. It was SO DELICIOUS!! The service was incredible. All of the staff were so professional. Making sure my husband and I were happy every step of the way. They even hand delivered food and drinks while we were taking pictures after the ceremony. Lynda, Pipere and Megan kept everything moving smoothly and handled everything so that we could enjoy our day. Every interaction with these ladies months prior to the day of the wedding was pleasant. Again, our guests could not stop raving about their overall experience--the views, the food and the staff, getting married here was the best decision we made! Thanks so much Sunapee!

Mount Sunappe is an amazing location with a great and helpful staff. Our wedding went very smooth and we were extremely pleased with the outcome (she said yes!). We had a said our vows at the summit of the mountain and our whole family said it was the "best wedding they have ever been too". We got super lucky with the weather, it was 70 degrees and sunny on October 21st!
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and for the price it was more then we could have ever expected! Cheers to the crew who did an amazing job making our big day so special!

Mount Sunapee is a gorgeous place to get married. You can have your ceremony either trailside or mountain top. The reception is held right on site so no need to travel. The foliage for my wedding was beautiful! Lynda and Pipere are amazing, they are very responsive and super helpful! I emailed a lot of questions throughout the planning process. They helped to keep you on track and make sure you didn’t miss any details! On the day of the wedding they set up all of the details (and do an amazing job at putting together what you have envisioned) and they help coordinate with the vendors as to when they should drop off products. We couldn’t have picked a better venue or wedding coordinators!

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing this venue and staff is. My husband and I got married here 10/13/17 and we had been working with Lynda Cioffi from the day we signed the contract till the day of the wedding and she was outstanding. Linda made sure we always felt listened to, understood and that our ideas mattered, she went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. I emailed back and forth with Lynda weekly for the entire year and she assisted with any question I had in a timely manner. We had a timeline throughout the year and Lynda was sure to remind me of any decisions that needed to be made and supported me while making them. During the seating chart process Lynda supplied us with a program called social tables that made the entire process seamless! The day of the rehearsal I realized I had completely forgotten about centerpieces for the cocktail tables and Lynda managed to supply me with some votives last minute, she was an angel and made my day so memorable. 10/10 recommend this venue and specifically Lynda Cioffi, they truly don’t make wedding/event coordinators like her anymore.

We got married at Mt. Sunapee in September and have been looking for the right words to say for a review but have yet to find them – even a month later! We got engaged 9 months to the day before our wedding. We went for a tour of Mt. Sunapee during the ski season and put a deposit down right away (without even seeing the view from the summit!!). We knew that the ceremony site was gorgeous from photos from other brides and the lodge was also wonderful – we booked Mt. Sunapee after only looking at one reception area. We knew this location was for us. Honestly, if you are looking for a unique, gorgeous, and truly amazing place to get married - look no further.
Throughout the wedding planning process, we were kept informed, on target and calm with the help of Lynda and Pipere at Mt. Sunapee Resort. They always went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of - from phone calls to answering my questions to helping work with other vendors. The wedding week came and we met with Pipere and Lynda to drop off all of our decor items. I am honestly a type A person and pretty picky about most aspects of my life. I was sure there was no way anyone would be able to execute my dream exactly how I wanted it - boy was I wrong. Lynda and Pipere literally got absolutely everything right. Our wedding day went off without a hitch and our dream was realized. They were so calm and so helpful throughout the entire process and especially during our wedding weekend. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and calming presence.
Mt. Sunapee itself is a spectacular place to get married and even just visit. Our guests were blown away by the food, the experience of going up the mountain on a chair lift, and of course the most breath-taking views from the summit. Mt. Sunapee is SO unique in that there is so much natural beauty and you can have a laid back outdoorsy wedding but you can also have a very fancy wedding if you’d like it as well. We opted for a wedding that totally encompassed our personalities. Some aspects were very laid back and others were more traditional.
A unique part of our wedding was that dinner service was upstairs on the second floor then we all moved downstairs to have the cake cutting and dancing. It offered a laid-back vibe to our reception where people didn’t feel they needed to stay at their designated table. Our guests could come and go from the first or second floor as they wished – some of the older guests opted to stay on the second floor overlooking the dancefloor as the night went on.
Everything was amazing and perfect. Everything. If you are thinking about Mt. Sunapee – definitely do it! We are so happy with our decision to get married there and know you will be too!

Mt. Sunapee did an amazing job with our wedding in June 2017! We had recently moved out of state after booking our venue and I was very nervous about putting it all together. Lynda was our event coordinator and she was amazing. Any small question I had she answered with no problem. The day before our wedding we were able to have an amazing rehearsal and drop all of our decorations off at Sunapee. Lynda and her team put everything up beautifully and even packed it all up for us to pick up the next day! She listened to all of my ideas and executed our day perfectly!
Unfortunately it did rain on our wedding day and as an already nervous bride I was calling asking questions all day which Lynda had no problem answering, she even went to the top of the mountain in the rain to check on my flowers! We truly appreciated all that Sunapee's team did for us to help make our wedding go on without a hitch and make our dreams come true (even in the rain!) Also our pictures came out amazing so it was worth it!
I highly recommend Mt. Sunapee Resort for any event. The venue was beautiful and truly surpassed all my hopes and dreams for our special day!

Not only did we get a beautiful, sunny day on October 1,2017 we had crystal clear blue skies for our mountaintop ceremony at Mount Sunapee. It was so crystal clear they said you could see Mount Washington! It was a spectacular place to be married amongst family and friends atop a mountain with a picturesque New Hampshire fall day and Lake Sunapee in the background. The reception was equally as awesome. We had provided decorations for the venue and they were set up perfectly. I really liked how they took direction from me for décor, but also took the reins when I wasn't sure where to put certain items. It ended up looking so pretty. The food from our buffet was excellent as well! The whole day went so smoothly and on schedule. My guests have commented how neat it was to take the lift to and from the ceremony and how nice the venue was. It was a pleasure working with Lynda who was our wedding coordinator. She made sure to answer all our questions and was very helpful throughout the planning process leading up to the big day. I would highly recommend getting married here as it has provided my husband and I with lasting memories of our special wedding day at a place that we love to ski at in the winter! It really was a perfect day.

I can't begin to describe how happy we are that we got married at the Mount Sunapee Resort. Not only was the support team (Lynda, Pipere, and everyone else) amazing and so nice and professional, but the venue was perfect. The mountain top ceremony site had absolutely sweeping views of the mountains and foliage, and our guests were thrilled with the chairlift experience. Once we returned back to the base for our reception, we were amazed by the magical transformation of the venue space. The twinkle lights, candles, uplighting, etc were more than we ever hoped for. From the very beginning, Lynda was an amazing support system, and we enjoyed every moment of planning our big day. All of our guests told us the next day that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I couldn't agree more (though I might be a little biased). I would definitely recommend that if you are looking to take your special day to the next level, Mount Sunapee Resort is the way to go!

We were so happy with our experience at Mount Sunapee! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and I hardly had to bring any decor of my own. We had a summit ceremony that was AMAZING! Our guests all raved about the chairlift ride. We were lucky to have great weather, but even if it had rained the indoor ceremony space is so beautiful. Lynda, the event coordinator, is just wonderful to work with. She was very flexible and responsive to my tons of questions. Her team does all the setup and tear-down, so it was really minimal effort for us. The prices were pretty reasonable, and I didn't hear any complaints about the food. The one complaint I have is that the reception area got really hot as the evening went on. There is no AC in the lodge, and it was unexpectedly hot for September, but I was hoping they would have some fans going or something. A lot of our guests took their food out to the patio because it was too hot inside.

We celebrated our big day at Mt. Sunapee this past Memorial Day weekend and we could not have made a better decision! Our summit ceremony was everything we wanted and then some! The chairlift ride up took the excitement up a notch and built up the anticipation even more. The views at the top were absolutely breathtaking and made for incredible photos. The wooden benches and arbor provided by Sunapee added a rustic elegance and helped us create the vibe and atmosphere we were going for. The views on the chairlift down were beautiful and gave our guests many photo ops. We rode down to our cocktail hour and reception which had in the main Sunapee Lodge. The Coordinator, Lynda, and her team did a phenomenal job decorating the lodge with both decorations they provide and our decorations we brought. Everything looked exactly as we envisioned! The food was delicious too! The guests were raving about the appetizers and the dinner far exceeded normal "wedding food." We would recommend Mt. Sunapee to anyone getting married or looking for a great venue for any event! Thank you, Mt. Sunapee for our perfect day!!!

Our experience working with Mount Sunapee Resort for our wedding was simple, easy, and everything we could have asked for. When searching for venues, we found that each place we looked at seemed to have a few things that we liked, and a few things that we weren’t crazy about. When we looked at Mount Sunapee, we were both able to walk away with nothing but positive thoughts, it was an obvious pick. They were easily able to support our larger wedding (invited around 190-200, ended up with about 150-160), and they gave us plenty of options. We were married outdoors at the base of the mountain, but you can also have the option to get married at the top, or if it rains there is also plenty of room inside the lodge, which features really nice wood paneling and lighting. We were comfortable with the choice weather it rained or not. We went with a buffet style food, although they do offer plated dinners as well, and we thought the food was amazing. With both of us having plenty of picky eaters in our families, we didn’t hear a single bad thing about the food, in fact, we heard about how good it was from our guests as they were leaving. In terms of lodging, there are two gorgeous hotels, along with a great pub right at the base of the mountain, and both of them (they are connected) gave us room blocks for the wedding. The staff is very friendly and made it super easy, they responded to all of our questions and concerns, they walked us through everything step by step, they set the venue up and broke it down for us, and overall just made us feel really happy and good about the place that we chose. I would recommend this venue to anybody for any event.

We are extremely happy we chose Mt. Sunapee as our wedding venue! The views are amazing up there. And no matter what weather you get, every ceremony setting is beautiful. Lynda and Piper were awesome to work with! They answered all of our questions leading up to the wedding day, and never made us feel like we were a bother. (And I am sure meanwhile they had other couples’ sending emails/calling with similar questions). They had patience with us and even helped to guide us in the right direction when we needed help/input.
The resort is decorated beautifully for a wedding. I loved how the team set up my centerpieces and decorations. It was nice that they took care of the setting up for us!
I loved the food! And to be quite honest, I don’t say that often when I go to weddings.
I would 100% recommend Mt. Sunapee to future couples!

On a beautiful October day we said 'I do' to each other at Mt Sunapee Lodge. A day that we will never forget and a day that was all what had planned it to be, and so much more.
A lot of planning had gone into the day and we were happy to see it all come together. With kind guidance from the staff at Mt Sunapee, we had decided to go with our ceremony outside - only 20% risk of rain. It was absolutely perfect and the mild drizzling felt like magic dust that day. Without their kind guidance I would never had dared to have the ceremony outside, but they made the decision easy, and it was the absolutely right decision.
Mt Sunapee and its friendly staff set the stage perfectly. Everything we had discussed was in place, and the only thing we had to think about was partying with our guests.
The food and drinks received high praises from our guests, and the staff was attentive, friendly and professional.
Thank you to Lynda, Piper and their teams for being part of our big day and an even bigger thank you for making it a day we will never forget!

We could not of asked for a better venue for our wedding. The staff was amazing, the food was incredible and the "home" feeling made our day feel like no other.
We would highly recommend anyone to have their wedding at Mount Sunapee. They catered to everything we needed and never did we feel like we were just another wedding they were having.

Our wedding at Sunapee was a dream come true! Lynda was excellent and had the entire place set up exactly as we had discussed the day before. She was so organized and dealt with organizing all the vendors as well. I would absolutely have my wedding at Sunapee all over again. The wait staff was so accommodating as well. We had a small medical emergency and the entire Sunapee staff handled the entire situation with such professionalism. I can't say enough good things about our wedding experience and our guests have told us on several occasions this was the best wedding they had ever been too!

An amazing experience from start to finish! We started with event coordinator Rachel, who got us started, and then Lynda was there for us for our big day. We had a comic book themed wedding, Lynda and the rest of the staff completely surprised us and wore costumes! My wedding was the best day of my life and I am beyond happy to have had it at Mount Sunapee. The food was excellent and the venue is just beautiful. We can't thank them enough for the perfect day.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Both Pipere and Lynda were a pleasure working with. They made the process of planning a wedding stressfree! They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. From setting up the venue better than I could imagine to being right there when a drink was poured on my dress, they made sure everything was taken care of! I highly recommend this venue as it is beautiful all year long, and the staff is amazing!!!

Mount Sunapee was the perfect venue for our wedding. We had a summit ceremony and would recommend anyone looking at the venue do the summit site. All of our guests were blown away by the view and loved the chair lift ride. When we started planning our coordinator was Rachel who was amazing unfortunately, she left halfway through our planning but Mt. Sunapee did an amazing job getting the new coordinator Lynda up to speed. Lynda was so helpful and went above and beyond the weekend of the wedding. It was such a relief being able to trust her to set everything up perfectly the day of the wedding. The lodge was wonderful we were a bit concerned about the heat given our wedding was in June and there was no AC but the breeze was perfect and no one complained about the temperature. Our day was perfect and it is in large part to the beautiful venue and amazing staff. There are so many small details you do not realize go into the wedding that Mt. Sunapee staff made so flawless, they even organized all of our items the day after our wedding for us to pick up and dealt with anything we no longer wanted for us.

My husband Tom & I fell in love with the lodge when we were skiing at Mount Sunapee so when it came time to pick a venue we searched around but kept coming back to our love for the lodge at Mount Sunapee.
Rachel was very present and helpful throughout the entire planning process, all my questions and requests she quickly and thoughtfully got back to me.
I had specific dietary requirements for my entire wedding (100% nut free). The cooking staff and Rachel went above and beyond to make sure that it was 100% safe for my guests with allergies. They sent pictures of labels of all the ingredients in the menu Tom & I chose to allow us to double check and make sure there would be no contamination or risk the day of.
The food was delicious and I keep hearing from guests how delicious the food was (and affordable might I add!)
They cleaned up for us and packaged all center pieces and decorations, it was easy the next day to stop in and quickly pick them up.
My only two complaints are;
1. The staff seemed annoyed when we were running late.. its a wedding, that's normal, things happen.
2. In all the paperwork I received it did not mention that koozies would not be allowed to be used (these were my favors). I set them out at rehearsal and was informed then that they could not be used there...I wouldn't have spent money on a favor that couldn't be used there... so I set them out so guests could take them but come to find out they were put away until the end of my reception so many guests didn't even receive one. (The reason for 4 stars overall and in service instead of 5).

On September 12 we celebrated the marriage of our daughter Abigail Dickey to Adam Duke. The reception took place at the Mount Sunapee Lodge. The future bride and groom and the maid of honor had stopped by the Lodge one year ago to take a look and were met by Rachel Benoit. Even though in the midst of setting up for a current wedding, Rachel took a moment to show them around and encouraged them to come back the following weekend for a more extensive look. They were so impressed with Rachel¹s welcoming approach to their unplanned visit and the venue that they did and the rest is history.
Whenever we met or communicated with Rachel during the course of the year, including at the well-attended. Tasting, each of us always felt we received her total attention and as if we were her only client. She received ideas with enthusiastic support, while sensitively adding her own with a mind toward guiding us away from possible pitfalls. She was always available and pleasant, even with unplanned visits. It seemed Rachel¹s mission was to deliver 100% and she implemented all requests to perfection. In short, Rachel is the consummate professional and a great ambassador for Mount Sunapee.
My husband and I just want to thank the Management for the wonderful venue you have presented the public with for special occasions. It has a wonderful capacity for the rustic and elegant to work complimentarily and all within the beauty of the New Hampshire mountains. Wedding guests loved having the entire building to enjoy and found the venue simply stunning!
