We truly can’t say enough good things about Mountain Top Resort. From the moment we stepped onsite, we knew it was something special. The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the e...
ntire team made us feel confident and excited from day one.
The planning process was seamless—pricing, contracting, and communication were all straightforward and easy to navigate. A huge shoutout to Miranda, who supported us every step of the way, and to Sydney, who stepped in during the actual event and handled everything flawlessly. Knowing someone had that level of control and attention to detail allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the day.
The food was another standout (we had them host the rehearsal dinner, a welcome party, the reception, AND a morning after grab and go breakfast). You don’t always expect wedding food to be memorable, but they truly nailed it—everything was delicious and plentiful, and our guests are still talking about it.
They also did an excellent job keeping everything on schedule, which made the entire day feel smooth and stress-free. Their vendor recommendations were fantastic and made planning so much easier. On top of that, having accommodations onsite with a variety of options for guests was incredibly convenient and a huge plus.
We’ll add that we are picky, and this venue exceeded our expectations across the board. We would recommend Mountain Top Resort without hesitation to anyone looking for a beautiful location with an exceptional team behind it.

We had our wedding at Mountain Top this October and after 2 years of planning, it felt like a lot of pressure was being put on this weekend. Mountain Top Resort made the long plann...
ing process totally worth it! Everything was pretty much exactly as we wanted it to be. We were able to have a beautiful ceremony on the knoll, and our guests really enjoyed the welcome party at the beach, the view from the ceremony site, and the morning after brunch.
Max was our coordinator, and he was awesome! He was calm and collected through the entire planning process and was always able to answer our questions. He wasn’t even rattled when the only gust of wind the entire day blew over our sound system right before my dad and I walked down the aisle!
We could not be happier with the weekend we had for our wedding. Our guests loved the food, the drinks, the view, and the indoor spaces. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

Our wedding weekend at Mountain Top Inn & Resort in Chittenden, Vermont was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived to the moment we said goodbye, everything was seaml...
ess, professional, and thoughtfully handled. The entire team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and it truly showed.
A huge standout for us was our incredible day-of coordinator, Elizabeth. Her organization, friendly energy, and ability to keep everything flowing so smoothly made the day feel effortless. We were able to be fully present knowing she had every detail under control.
We also cannot say enough about Gayle from Meadow’s Edge Floral Design, the in-house florist and décor team. She absolutely blew us away with her artistry and attention to detail. She took our vision and elevated it beyond anything we could have imagined—every floral arrangement, every decorative element felt intentional, creative, and stunning.
The entire weekend was a dream come true, and if we could relive it over and over again, we absolutely would. Mountain Top Inn & Resort gave us the most memorable, magical celebration, and we are endlessly grateful. We recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and an exceptional team.

unday brunch. From our first visit, the communication was fantastic. Max was our coordinator and was so easy going and responsive. From picking custom signature drinks to holding the rehearsal at our guest house, they accommodated every request. Day-of, literally nothing went wrong. They ran everything so smoothly, even things I hadn't thought of (like ensuring guests don't walk to the ceremony while we were processing). The shuttles were so helpful as well. MTR truly made everything so easy and we had an absolutely perfect day!

My husband and I got married at Mountain Top this past August and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! After booking our date (site unseen), we were promptly connected with ...
our coordinator, Miranda. She was extremely helpful and patient with all of our questions related to housing, vendors, wedding day timeline, etc. She was so responsive especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding - we had no worries!
Our Day of Coordinator, Elizabeth, and the entire MTR staff was extremely efficient for our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding day events. Our guests only had amazing things to say about the service, food, and overall flow of the events thanks to the staff. We had guests in the main hotel, cabins, and numerous guest houses throughout the property. Everyone was extremely happy with their accommodations and all of the activities/scenery that MTR has to offer. Don’t hesitate to book MTR for a seamless planning experience & amazing wedding weekend! It was our favorite day in a new favorite place.

We had the most amazing wedding WEEK here! We chose MTR because it could house all of our guests for multiple days so we could stretch out our time seeing our friends and family. Z...
oey, our long-term planner, was always on top of it and I kept asking her at all of our meetings if it really was this simple. We then worked with Elizabeth as our day-of coordinator and it was a seamless transition. We felt Elizabeth came on knowing everything that we had talked about with Zoey, clarified a few more details, and then I never had to think twice about things leading up to the ceremony and reception! I feel that it’s a sure sign they’re the best coordinators and staff when we didn’t have to worry about a single thing as we enjoyed our wedding week and a leisurely wedding morning! It even rained for our ceremony, which ended being gorgeous and fun because they had been prepared and had towels and umbrellas for the guests! MTR and all their staff really did make planning our wedding a simple process, I feel like we’re the only bride and groom we know that actually enjoyed the planning of our wedding.

WOW - we can't say enough about how absolutely amazing our experience with Mountain Top was from start to finish! Our 8-16-25 wedding was the best day of our lives! Our guests can'...
t stop raving about how spectacular the entire weekend was. Mountain Top exceeded all expectations the entire weekend - from the fun-filled welcome party at the Pavilion, to the stunning ceremony on the Knoll, the delicious cocktail hour, tasty & dance-filled reception in the barn, and the chill after party at the Tavern - everything was spectacular! Special shout out to both of our planners, Miranda & Elizabeth, for truly going above and beyond. Our long-term planner Miranda was instrumental in keeping us calm and making sure all the little details - from vendors, to food choices, to housing blocks, seating arrangements, etc. - were set for the big day. The transition to our day-of coordinator Elizabeth could not have been smoother. Elizabeth was there with us every step of the way our entire wedding weekend and made sure every aspect of the event ran smoothy and that my husband and I were having the time of our lives. The bartenders, wait staff, shuttle drivers, and front desk staff were all extremely kind & gracious. The in house floral department, Meadow's Edge, brought our summer wild flower vision to life with the most stunning arrangements. Another thing we loved about this venue was that our guests had plenty of housing options at the venue. The rental homes and the lodge rooms are beautifully designed and very comfortable for groups of all sizes. Also shout out to our spectacular photographer Corinne Ryan - can't recommend her enough as well. We highly recommend this venue for anyone considering a classy yet down to earth scenic mountain wedding venue. We can't wait to come back for our anniversary. Thank you so much Mountain Top!

I can’t say enough fantastic things about this venue. It is GORGEOUS. The knoll, the grounds, the barn, the beach pavilion - all stunning. Besides its beauty, we picked this venue ...
because it offered all of our guests a chance to stay on site and it did not disappoint. We were super happy with the set up & flow of our welcome party, our MTR coordinator (Zoey), the floral design (Meadows Edge), all of our vendors (most recommended by MTR - Top Hat, Juniper Studios, Vermont Bridal Beauty, the Linen Shop, Sweet Birch), the organization of the staff, the on-site housing, the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception & after party. It was all beautiful & so well put together based on our wishes. We were also mostly impressed with the food. We did a pasta party for the welcome party and it was surprisingly good. All guests also thoroughly enjoyed their reception dinners & the dessert bar (put on by Sweet Birch) and even the late night food of chicken fingers & tots was shockingly yummy!. If I had one complaint it would be the appetizers. We opted for 5 passed apps (chicken & waffles, mac & cheese bites, tuna tartar, stuffed mushrooms, & ricotta crostinis) & one stationary table (cheese & crackers). My husband & I decided to do all of our pictures before cocktail hour so we could enjoy this time with family & friends. I spent that entire time on the patio and was only offered 2 passed apps - both of which were disappointing - the chicken & waffles was dry & the mac & cheese was kinda cold. My husband said he only saw one app pass by during his time out there, the tuna tartar, which he though was good. In talking with guests later it seemed that most didn’t have a chance to try even half of what we paid to have served. At roughly 10k for appetizers I expected more.

We got married at Mountain Top Inn in July 2025, and we’re SO glad we chose it. We booked sight unseen and it was unbelievable!!!
The views are breath-taking, the food was delici...
ous, and it was exactly what we wanted-- the purity of the nature with the ease of a resort.
The night before party was down by the lake with a gorgeous sunset on the beach, the day of the rain held off and we got married on the blooming knoll, and we had our reception in the event barn.
Our planner, Maura, was truly outstanding—organized, calm, responsive, and generous about offering insight but never pushy. She effortlessly managed dietary restrictions (gluten/dairy-free), special cocktail requests, and even tricky weather logistics when rain threatened our ceremony.
Gail, the onsite florist did our design, and let me tell you, it was next level. It was STUNNING-- exactly what we had asked for and then some.
Our guests loved the relaxed vibe, gorgeous setting, and all of the activities. It felt like a true vacation we were told! Everyone on staff was extraordinarily kind. The free shuttles for guests all over the property made it so people could come/go safely and easefully.
Our only suggestion: checkout was 11 a.m., but breakfast ran until 10:30, making departure feel rushed. Extending checkout by at least an hour, especially for the newlyweds, would really improve things.
Other than that, we couldn't recommend Mountain Top and Maura more highly! We cannot wait to go back to Mountain Top again and again to celebrate our anniversary.

ow a Welcome Party, have a gorgeous ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Every part of Mountain Top was a dream come true with the whole staff coming together really made it such a wonderful and seamless experience.
Max - he truly put us at ease from the moment we decided Mountain Top was the perfect location to the day of our wedding and everything in between. He was always there to answer a question, guide us in the right direction when we were inevitably lost in the planning, and make sure we were happy and enjoying every moment of our wedding.
We could not have had a more wonderful time at Mountain Top Resort celebrating our love with our loved ones. Thank you so much to such an amazing team and we can't wait to see you all again!

When I asked my photographer if there was anything I should know about working with Mountain Top Resort, she said, “Oh, you’ve struck gold with them.” At the time, I thought it was...
just vendors being kind to one another. Now, I know that we really did strike gold.
From start to finish, Mountain Top Resort wanted to accommodate us. Before touring, I asked if their catering team would be open to an all-vegetarian wedding. They confirmed that it wouldn’t be a problem and even welcomed us to add additional meal options to their list so that we could incorporate our favorite meals into our day. The team was excited to take on a new task to help make the event feel like us.
Leading up to the big day, email correspondence was quick and helpful. We asked a ton of questions, and we were never made to feel like a burden.
In the 2 weeks leading up to our wedding, our coordinator Zoey let us know that our day-of coordinator would be Elizabeth. We were both a little nervous to switch from one coordinator to another, but it’s clear the team is just that: a team. Elizabeth picked up all the details and connected with us to make sure she had our vision clear in her mind. Right from the start of the ceremony rehearsal, it was clear she’d studied our choices! She cared about the details, and made sure our day was full of fun, joy, and support. When we forgot to bring our printed thank-you speech to reception, she said, “No problem, email it to me and I’ll print it right now.” When we weren’t able to finish our dinners, she packaged them up and sent them along to the house we were staying at. Elizabeth supported us without ever being overbearing. We both knew that the whole day was handled without us needing to worry about a thing, so we could focus on each other and our guests. We are so grateful we got to have you coordinate our wedding! Thank you, Elizabeth!

When we started looking for a wedding venue, we knew Vermont was the place we wanted to get married, as we met at UVM and both of our families live close by. The problem was.. we l...
ived in San Diego. We saw about 7 venues in VT and from the moment we saw MTR we knew it was something special. It had exactly what we wanted - a modern rustic yet cohesive feel so all of our friends and family could stay on-site together, activities on the lake or land, and an amazing outdoor ceremony site (not to mention the beautiful cocktail hour space and barn for the reception). They also provide coordinators - shout out to Miranda (could not have done this without her help... more on her later) - florists on site, amazing catering... and they clearly know what they're doing. Despite multiple weddings per week (sometimes even multiple in one day!), the Mountain Top staff stays positive, calm, collected, and makes sure everything runs smoothly and perfectly. Everyone told me to expect at least one thing to go wrong during my wedding, so I had braced myself. But not a single thing went wrong (unheard of) the entire weekend of our wedding, and it was absolutely amazing.
Miranda - Keith and I both said this to you multiple times during the weekend, and I'll say it again - YOU ARE INCREDIBLE and Mountain Top is SO lucky to have you!
Not only are we now best friends but Miranda just made the planning process so fun, stress-free, and amazing for us. On arrival, we unloaded multiple boxes of props/picture frames/small details etc, and Miranda took them all from us, remembered every single item without question and where to put them, and made the whole process so seamless for us. She helped us with any problem, big or small, that came up throughout the weekend, knew the timing of the entire welcome party/ceremony/cocktail hour/reception/after party off the top of her head, helped us stay on schedule, and made sure everything was perfect.
I can't recommend Mountain Top Resort enough if you're planning your wedding in Vermont! Thank you again for EVERYTHING. It was magical (can't wait to come back and visit for our anniversary).

us through the vast majority of the planning process was super helpful. Then having someone the day of the wedding (really the few days leading up to it) available to support was priceless.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the views and the food!
The whole team also coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors, ensuring a smooth day from start to finish.

From the very beginning, we always knew that we wanted to get married in Vermont. After visiting Mountain Top Resort, we instantly knew that it was the place. From the breathtaking...
views of the mountains to the all-on-property experience with amazing food options, Mountain Top was the hands-down best choice!
Since our first introduction to Khele and the whole Mountain Top staff, they provided a truly magical experience. To say that we were blessed and could not have done it without Miranda and Zoey (our coordinators) would be a complete understatement. Throughout the whole process, it was extremely comforting and reassuring to know that Miranda and Zoey were just a phone call or email away. They were both extremely helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. From the start they were there to answer our many questions that arise from planning a winter destination wedding, provide guidance on different options, kept us on track for all our important deadlines, brought all our visions to reality on our special day, and so much more than we could list.
As many people would say, we are huge “foodies”. When asked about weddings, most people would say the thing they remembered most was whether the food was good. In the case of Mountain Top (in addition to the all-on-property experience and breathtaking mountain view mentioned before), the food is certainly memorable. Whether it was the rehearsal dinner, hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour, meals at the reception, or late-night snacks, every item of food was phenomenal. Words just simply could not do justice to describe how incredible the food tasted. Our friends and family are still ranting and raving about the food!
Gayle and her staff at Meadow’s Edge Floral are incredible and would whole-heartedly recommend them for your floral / décor. We could not thank them enough for all the décor (greenery / bouquets / boutonnieres / ice luminaries / table centerpieces and everything in between). Every detail from rehearsal dinner to the reception was truly spectacular and transformed the spaces into something more than we could have ever imagined! All the small special touches made it that much more enchanting.
Mountain Top was everything a couple could wish for in a wedding venue and more. We will continue to recommend it to family / friends and plan to visit again soon!
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream wedding a reality!

ruly sets this venue apart is the incredible team. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure that every couple has the best experience possible.
As a vendor (wedding photographer) who has had the pleasure of working at Mountain Top on numerous occasions, I can honestly say that the staff feels like family. They treat everyone, from the couples to the vendors, with the utmost respect and care. It's clear that their main goal is to make every event not just successful, but truly memorable for all who visit.
If you're looking for a venue that combines breathtaking beauty with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a team that will do everything in their power to make your day special, look no further than Mountain Top Resort.

My husband and I got engaged in Vermont in October 2022. We’re from the Boston area but Vermont has always held a special place in our hearts and when we started looking at venues,...
we knew we wanted to get married there. We set up site visits at three wonderful venues in December 2022 with MTI being our last stop. As soon as we finished the tour of the venue and sat down for dinner in their tavern to discuss our options, we knew we found our wedding venue. It had the mountains, a lake, and was dog friendly! Khele was wonderful in providing us available dates for a fall wedding and gave us ideas outside of the months we originally requested. When we decided we wanted to get married in 2023 he provided a few dates in November. We agreed on Friday the 17th.
The tasting event we attended in April was amazing. It really gave us a full understanding of our offerings, showed all the delicious food options, and gave us a chance to meet many of the vendors we had booked for our day. We did have some bumps during planning with changes in wedding coordinator but ultimately Miranda did an amazing job getting everything finalized for Zoey to pick-up day of. Zoey was amazing and stayed in communication with us the week leading up to and through to the day after our wedding. She was very easy going and made everything feel so simple. She really let me relax and stay present on my wedding day.
A bonus to getting married at MTI is the on-site floral department, Meadows Edge Floral. Gayle was amazing to work with and easy to communicate with. She was open to ideas but also knew how to run with the direction we gave her. She made our November wedding come alive with beautiful greenery and made me the most beautiful (and shockingly light) bouquet! It was so great having a built-in vendor that knew the venue so well and who did a great job stretching a floral budget as much as possible!
Having said all that getting married at MTI was the best decision for us, from the wonderful
location hidden in the Green Mountains, to the cohesiveness and seamless teamwork between
the vendors and venue. We’re still getting compliments from our guests that it was one of the best weddings that they have ever attended!

My wife and I found Mountain Top separate from each other - absolute kismet! We visited in August 2022, as they have a deal w...
here you get a free night's stay if you do a venue tour. Highly recommend!
The package includes a coordinator for the months leading up to the wedding, a day-of/weekend-of coordinator, and an EPIC tasting with other couples in your season! It was so nice to have everything on site - from lodging to catering to stylists to the florist, the weekend was seamless.
Max, our coordinator leading up to the wedding, was very responsive and helpful. Zoey, our weekend-of coordinator, was ON IT and kept everything running on time and communicated to all necessary parties.
Late November is off-season, weather-wise. We made a last-minute choice to move the ceremony indoors, and Zoey/Gayle made it gorgeous. For an intimately sized wedding, the venue didn't feel empty. Our guests loved having warm beverages to enjoy during the ceremony and s'mores by the fire at night.
Mountain Top provides great details on its website which gave us the peace of mind we needed to book a venue from far away. This is a magical location even without snow or colorful leaves or sunshine. Off-season weddings often get a bad rap, but there's no such thing as an off-day at Mountain Top. Looking forward to spending our anniversaries at this beautiful oasis.

es, we wanted to get married on the Knoll, but mother nature had another idea. We had our ceremony up in the loft and if you let it, it will be a magical moment. The lights were dimmed and it created such a romantic and wonderful experience – not to mention we had 100 happy and warm guests ready to party with us after! Although the actual ceremony was inside, we were delivered some amazing outdoor moments, including moody fall photos during our first look and glowing mountains at cocktail hour!
The staff at Mountain Top is out of this world! Miranda was our coordinator and she took our ideas for the big day and made them a reality. She checked in on us all day. The weather was all over the place and she helped us make all the right decisions for us and our guests. Her expertise and reasoning was a great resource and we can’t thank her enough! With her guidance we felt comfortable making some of the “tough” decisions the day presented us with – i.e. making the rain call. Miranda may have started out as a stranger to us, but by the time we ended the planning process she was our friend!
Don’t hesitate to book at Mountain Top. It is easily one of the best spots you could have to marry your person. The food, vendors, planners, event staff and accommodations are everything and more! Everyone will help to make your day perfectly your own and you’ll have memories to last you a lifetime!

Do not hesitate to book MTI for your wedding, this was probably the best decision we ever made for our wedding! We live near Boston, MA but I grew up skiing almost every weekend i...
n winter in VT so the nostalgia of the area initially drew us there. I discovered MTI through The Knot, and it was the first and only venue we actually visited. As soon as we toured it and saw it in person it was a done deal- the property is absolutely STUNNING. We decided on July 2023, as we were leaning towards as summer wedding anyways but they have so many activities there we love in the summer months. They also have so many amenities including onsite restaurant and bar, shuttle service around the property, pool/hot tub, kayaking/paddle boarding, hiking trails, and more. The day before our wedding we had a huge game of disc golf which was so fun and one of our favorite moments of the weekend. We loved the everything happens on property (rehearsal, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after party) so once you get there there is no travel involved. Were hoping to get married outside on the beautiful knoll, but had to move inside due to rain, but that is part of why we picked MTI- the inside location for ceremonies is also beautiful. We booked their Mountain Aire guest house and The Treehouse for ourselves and our entire wedding party to stay at for the weekend which was so fun, we love that they have guest houses and cabins in addition to the main hotel- many of our guests stayed in houses in addition to the hotel. We also loved that the cabins are dog friendly as we wanted our dog Bailey to be in the wedding and she was able to stay with my parents in a cabin. Miranda was our wedding coordinator and we cannot say enough great things about her- she was so professional, knowledgeable, timely, and kind. She is just the best and made our entire weekend run so smoothly. The entire staff at MTI is lovely and made us feel so incredibly special all weekend long. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and quickly solved any issues that came up. The food is absolutely delicious, so many of our guests complimented us on it and several who had the salmon we chose said it was the best salmon they ever had. We highly recommend booking your wedding here and making a vacation out of it because they have so much to offer, it's beautiful in all seasons, and you really cannot go wrong here. We love it here and can't wait to return for years to come to celebrate anniversaries/birthdays/ or just for fun!!

We had our wedding Mountain Top Inn & Resort in August, and this was the best decision we made. We wanted everyone on site to enjoy the entire weekend with us and fall in love with...
Vermont just like we did. Our guests were in awe of how beautiful the property was and loved how many activities they could do during their stay. The event staff was fantastic and helped make our day go by smoothly. There were a few hiccups with a change in our coordinator, but it all worked out. Would highly recommend having your wedding there! We can't wait to go back to celebrate our anniversary every summer.

MTI was the perfect place to get married! We got married October 4, and all of our guests (many of whom are well traveled) said they've never been to a place like this... we truly ...
believe it's magical. Even though we had a smaller wedding (~$20,000 and 40 people) on a Wednesday to cut out their venue fee, every single one of the staff at MTI made us feel like our day was special and we never would have known how many weddings they do. They're a wedding factor in the best way - everything was personalized and met us where we wanted for some DIY stuff, but there were no hiccups because they're so used to throwing amazing weddings. Our coordinator, Rachel, always made sure we had the information we needed, and our day-of coordinator Zoey was professional and made sure everything stayed right on track. We plan to go back soon (as do many of our guests)!

On the surface, Mountain Top is gorgeous and easily one of the most stunning spots in Vermont. But if you are looking for the warmth, kindness, and empathy that Vermont is famous f...
or on your wedding day, you will not find it here.
I would describe my partner and I as the kind of people who would rather sit in a restaurant alone for three hours rather than complain/risk hurting a server's feelings for not greeting us. Total pushovers. But once we got notified of our fourth "new" wedding coordinator, even we started getting worried. With the general madness and super low probability that there was something wrong with coordinators one through three, we hired an outside coordinator for extra support who suggested we work directly with upper management. We found the common denominator: the higher-up event management at Mountain Top is kind of terrible.
We totally understand that Mountain Top has a lot of weddings and is desirable, but boy does upper management rub it in. In every step of the process, they treat you like they are doing you a massive favor. They could care less about giving you autonomy, listening to what you want, or god-forbid apologizing for anything. We thought it was bad over Zoom/emails/phone calls, but that was nothing compared to actually getting on property on the eve of our wedding day. Bluntly telling us that we would have to get married inside the Loft due to weather, they sat in silence while I just cried into my sister's shirt. No apologies or reassurance, I have genuinely had complete strangers offer more empathy than these people. It wasn't even the fact that the only part of the whole day we wanted was not being included, but that they really just wanted me to get out of their office/stop wasting any more of their time.
Not getting married outside was heartbreaking, but nothing compared to the devastation of seeing how much mental, physical, and financial work my parents put in for this to not even get so much as a smile from upper management. Even though I knew they were just as sad as I was, they put on a brave face to provide my partner and I the reassurance, advocacy, and empathy we desperately needed to get through the weekend. Growing up with absolutely nothing as the child of Mexican immigrants, I know my sunflower of a dad just wanted us to have everything on this day. I am ugly sobbing writing this review just thinking about how bad I feel knowing he spent close to $100k to be treated with such indifference and heartlessness.
We know our guests had a great time, never knowing anything was wrong due to our INCREDIBLE vendors. We owe every bright and happy memory to their tireless efforts, even in light of Mountain Top treating them like second-class guests.
I am only writing this review to hopefully save some other couples from a bad experience. I genuinely want nothing more than for this to be the best day for couples, especially given how financially draining weddings can be. No one deserves to be treated with such disregard and coldness, especially not a day that should be filled with love and joy. The higher-ups would have totally ruined our day if it hadn't been for our lovely biological, chosen, and vendor family. I hope that all Vermont couples have a better experience than us, whether it be at this venue or another <3
Response from Mountain Top Resort on 10/26/2023
Hi Elizabeth,
We appreciate every one of these reviews, whether they are overwhelmingly ...
positive, or show that we've missed the mark. We take every bit of feedback and advice into consideration as we work hard to ensure the perfect day for every wedding couple and guest we have on property. This review does weigh heavy on us, knowing that we received a glowing thank you note stating how smooth the day went, and the appreciation of the workarounds that we did make.
We agree that there truly is no better view than the one we have here at Mountain Top and that the Knoll truly does exemplify this. There is nothing more important to us than ensuring that couples that do book weddings with us have than having the best experience. One of the hardest things we've faced in this past year is delivering the news of rain in the forecast, an unfortunately common event this summer/fall. Because of this, we do create weather-based plans for all of our weddings in the event of these instances – it is standard procedure on our end to ensure that there is no stress for these last-minute conversations on the day of your wedding.
Obviously, this is upsetting for any couple, and we always want to be sensitive in these cases. Receiving support from your family at that moment and offering to revisit the conversation on a rain call is the best we could offer at that time. It is always our intention to provide our couples with the support that they need and deserve, and we apologize that we may have fallen short in your time of need.
On your wedding day, we received 1.41 inches of rain – which was forecasted with a 100% chance of the day before – and instead of our initial suggestion of the loft as you mentioned, we did our best to provide an outdoor ceremony experience - in a location that we have never used before, for your wedding. To make this happen, we called in extra staff for set up and included staff up to and including our General Manager.
We are aware that one dietary restriction was not accommodated in vendor meals. It is always our intention to take great care of vendors when they come to our venue - and in fact, do our absolute best to treat them like any other guest of our resort - the Food and Beverage team can quickly rectify these situations when they come to our attention, and if we had been aware prior to dinner service, this could have been accommodated right away.
We strive to provide the best service and experience possible for every couple - but know that we may not always succeed. We do hope that your day did and does come with good memories that will lead you into this new phase of life with your partner.

I will not be able to fit all the AMAZING things I have to say about Mountain Top here. I am convinced this is the best wedding venue in the world, and our guests and family absolu...
tely agreed. To have every aspect thoughtfully considered and on-site was so perfect. It was beautiful, stunning, and so many guests have reached out to tell us how flawless of a day it was, how stunning Mountain Top is, and how good the food was. We loved being able to stay on-site, and to have the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, ceremony, reception, and after party all in the same place was just so seamless. Our wedding was nothing short of perfect - the staff there put so much hard work and thoughtfulness into our wedding. Particularly Miranda, who covered everything down to the last detail and remembered every last thing for the wedding (too much to name!). The bartenders and shuttle drivers were also awesome - the bartenders even saved some of my favorite drinks for me once they ran out and had them behind the bar when I stopped by! The florals done by Gayle were jaw-droppingly beautiful and the tasting event was a highlight of wedding planning! Mountain Top provided more than I could have ever imagined for our wedding and we will remember their helpfulness, the effort put in by all the staff, the attention to detail, and Mountain Top's beauty for the rest of our lives.

Five stars simply is no enough to capture the experience we had planning our wedding with Mountain Top Resort. The day was nearly two years in the making and it went off perfectly ...
thanks to the INCREDIBLE staff. Literally everyone we worked with was not only extremely professional, but so kind and thoughtful. We never felt like we were "just another wedding" - we were intentionally looked after with grace and care.
What I reflect on the most is just how fun and thoughtful the whole planning experience was with Mountain Top. You get to attend a big tasting event with different vendors, which was so helpful for us. You get assigned a coordinator to guide you throughout your entire planning process and is there on the day with you, which is INCREDIBLE. Shout out specifically to Max, our coordinator, who CRUSHED it. We had a few different coordinators cycle in and out during our planning process and they never missed a beat, especially Max. He was beyond willing to figure anything out for us, jump in, and just absolutely rose to the occasion and then some.
The venue of course is stunning and the food was delicious. They were so accommodating to those in our group with dietary restrictions, which meant the world to us. We even changed the sides for some of our dishes, which they were happy to do. You can really make your wedding custom to you, which is incredible.
When planning a wedding at mountain top, it can seem very overwhelming with all of the events you could host, houses to rent, vendors, etc. and I never felt that way due to the excellent staff. They really go above and beyond to make sure everything is organized and on time, which, as a type-a bride, I was so grateful for. The venue really flexes to your planning style, so they are happy to be as hands-on or hands-off as you would like them to be, which I appreciated!
All in all, I truly couldn't recommend Mountain Top more. Our day, quite simply, was perfect thanks to the incredible team here. Not only will you have an amazing wedding, but you'll make great friends along the way.

Mountain Top Resort is not conducive to anyone with mobility issues, requiring one to climb stairs or walk on uneven terrain for every aspect, whether it is to access dining, the p...
ool and spa, or reaching the majority of the property. Our party rented a property home, Wintergreen while attending a recent wedding. While it was clean, the property is very tired looking and outdated with all but one bedroom with twin beds either up or downstairs.
Response from Mountain Top Resort on 09/27/2023
Hi Susan, thank you for candidly reviewing your most recent stay with us. We appreciate al...
l feedback and understand that we are not always perfect, and there's always room for us to learn and grow from. We are sorry to hear that your stay with us was less than perfect, especially regarding accessibility. We try our best to accommodate any accessibility issues you may need, such as rooms on the ground floor, parking right next to the restaurant, and our pool/spa area for easy entry without taking the stairs. We try our best to make these spaces known for convenience but understand we may have missed the mark this time around in sharing that information. I would love to connect more about your stay regarding the property you were in, as well as your concerns with accessibility for those with mobility issues so we can best address them moving forward. If you can send us a message on our contact form, I can be sure to reach out!

An absolute stunning venue! We had our wedding this past Memorial Day weekend at Mountain Top Inn. It was honestly a dream come true. We had our bridal parties and families stay...
in the houses on the property (the ladies lavished in The Jewel, which is a must have for any wedding day!), which made everything so convenient. The rehearsal dinner and welcome party down at the Pavilion at the Lake was such a unique private event. But nothing can top our ceremony. We were blessed with blue skies and temperatures in the mid 70’s. The view for all our guests was not only of a gorgeous flowering arbor, bride and groom, and bridal party, but also the green grass of the knoll, the blue from the lake down below, the green from the mountains in the background, and the blue from the spotless skies. It was truly a dream setting. Our guests all wanted a piece of the scenery…we couldn’t get them to leave the location after the ceremony for cocktail hour! The reception down at the barn was just as jaw dropping. The rustic feel off the wooden beams across the ceiling, and openness of the dance floor created an atmosphere for such special, touching moments and supreme celebration.
The Mountain Top team does have some areas where they can improve, however. Their communication and their documentation is not at the level one would expect it to be. Over the year of preparation, we had to work hard to pull emails from our coordinator and florist (we chose to use Meadow’s Edge right on site). We had a coordinator change just a few months before our wedding. But numerous times documentation as well as the coordinator didn’t have answers for the real details in the decisions. Often times we were told different things by different people by different documents. These comments aren’t intended to scare anyone looking forward to getting married here, but should be used as preparation. Our wedding day was perfect, but we would certainly recommend being very meticulous and document everything. Make sure you really comb through all the documents carefully as you make your decisions and really think about all the little details. Have as many meetings as you need to make sure you understand everything, and have everything written in email. Again, this isn’t intended to scare anyone, just a heads up. One thing is for sure…things will run smoothly, we are confident of that. The day-of execution of the venue is truly top notch.
We are overjoyed with the perfect wedding we had at Mountain Top. Our friends and families cannot stop talking about the weekend, especially the food! The food was delicious, from the passed hors’devours to the entrees. The portion sizes were impressive, and each table was served their sit down meals all together. We can’t tell you how many people have gone out of their way to tell us that this was the most beautiful and best wedding they have ever been to. We love Mountain Top and we can’t wait to come back and visit.

My now husband and I were set on planning a rustic yet elegant Winter wedding in 2023. We began the venue search in January 2022 across Vermont, New Hampshire, and even parts of M...
assachusetts (our home state) and found a few venues that seemed like they would work. Before ever even making it up to visit The Mountain Top Inn we originally began the contracting process with a different VT venue (slightly closer to MA) and the experience was a nightmare. They had a poorly written contract with contradicting clauses, they were inflexible to customize aspects of their menus/bar packages/more, and the staff was a nightmare to work with. In early April 2022, without entering into contract, we went our separate ways feeling really discouraged and turned off by the entire wedding industry. My now husband headed up the venue search again and brought me a handful of options-- The Mountain Top Inn was one of them.
From the moment we first spoke with Khele the Mountain Top Inn was different. People were kind, the views were immaculate, and the possibility of us having the wedding of our dreams began to re-materialize. The experience was like night and day. From our initial tour, to helping us arrange a visit with our parents for the tasting, to helping customize every inch of our wedding the staff at the Mountain Top Inn were the type of team you dream of getting to work with for your wedding.
Our chief concern about the Mountain Top Inn was how many weddings they do a year -- we didn't want to feel like our wedding was just another event being turned out of a machine. While the Mountain Top Inn is certainly a well-oiled machine our wedding was completely us -- there was opportunity to customize at every step. The events team are all truly experts in their craft and because of their team the process of planning the event was nearly as much fun as actually hosting it in March 2023. Chelsea did an excellent job caring for us and our event for nearly a year as a wedding coordinator. She helped us think through big and small decisions, helped us stay on track, and gave us really great advice.
The week of our wedding the photographer we hired called us to let us know that she tested positive with COVID and would be unable to make our wedding. We were devastated. We called our day-of-coordinator, Jen, who offered to help us hit the ground running to source a new photographer in a week. Which is unheard of. Thankfully the photographer had a back up option for us, but Jen's can-do attitude was the perfect antidote for the stress of what could have been. We even had guests ask us if she was for hire for their upcoming weddings due to the flawless job she did at our event.
We truly can't say enough positive things about our experience working with The Mountain Top Inn-- if you are considering this venue for your wedding I can't recommend them highly enough. If I could give more than 5 stars above I would.

If you're looking for a wedding venue that has: stunning spaces inside and out, a team that does an immaculate job, and amazing lodging accommodations for your guests, then book Mo...
untain Top NOW! It is by far the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Reminiscing on our 11/4/22 wedding, here are some highlights:
Our wedding guests could not stop raving about the venue. Many, many guests told us it west the most beautiful venue they've ever been to. We loved how beautiful Mountain Top is inside and out, down to every single house and cabin and inn room on the property.
Many of our guests could stay on the property, which we LOVED. My college friends had their own house, my husband's cousins had their own houses, the bridal party had their own houses, etc. It was SO convenient, everything is right there, and it gives you a destination wedding type feel, which we really wanted. There are even shuttles to bring your guests around the property all weekend. Additionally, if some people don't want to stay on the property (or if it books up) we definitely recommend using the Best Western Rutland and Tri State Transportation to get your guests to the venue, about a 15 minute drive.
The food was awesome! It had been so good at the food tasting that we worried there was no way it would measure up on wedding day, but it did. Many of our guests raved about the food, and the venue was very accommodating with allergies and preferences.
Gayle, who is the florist that you have the option to book through the venue, is amazingly talented and also affordable. Communication with her can be delayed as she does handle many weddings, but if you continue to reach out she will happily help you. I wasn't overly worried about florals so this didn't bother me, but I know it can be tough for some. That weekend, though, Gayle and her team did just an impeccable job, and I didn't have to worry about a thing in terms of set up and clean up.
Lastly, the entire MTI staff is UNREAL. We worked with Chelsea for the majority of our wedding planning time, and I always felt supported and prepared by working with her. Even leading up to the final crunch time, I never doubted MTI's ability to pull my dream wedding off seamlessly, and they did. Seriously, nothing went wrong the entire weekend, from the rehearsal to welcome party to wedding to day after brunch. The team works so hard to make your dreams come true. Even the bartending staff - my guests could not stop raving about them. Ian & Heather were the BEST!
I could truly go on and on and on. Getting married at Mountain Top exceeded all of our wildest wedding dreams and far surpassed any hope and expectation. We can't wait to celebrate anniversaries here for years to come.

Wow, where to start? First, the headline: Mountaintop Inn and Resort staff are artists and their medium: Weddings.
A big part of both our choice of Mountain Top and our satisfact...
ion with that decision was just how incredible everyone is at creating unforgettable events there. Straight up magic, I tell you.
From the very beginning, Khele thoughtfully answered the many questions that arose from considering an out-of-state, destination wedding and was immensely helpful.
Once we moved on to the planning phase, we couldn’t have asked for a better Coordinator than Cassie! Through all of the easy and not-so-easy decisions, Cassie was endlessly understanding and kind. She kept us on track and made sure we met all of the important timeline milestones. There were so many aspects that we just weren’t sure about that she was willing to walk us through and we so appreciated that - having someone calm and assured by our side for all of the uncertainties. In fact, we felt like Cassie was our co-creator in the end, one for whom we will be forever grateful. From the rehearsal through each hour of our big day, she had everything transitioning smoothly and we ended up feeling like we had extra time at different stages! We had time to soak everything in, just the two of us, in the gazebo after the ceremony and Cassie made it possible for us to fulfill the hope we had mentioned of having a chance to enjoy the hors d’oeuvres we’d picked out (and that had our stomachs rumbling in anticipation).
Every item of food was delectable - the passed hors d’oeuvres, entrées, and even the salad we chose were all, impossibly, melt-in-your-mouth-level delicious. Our friends and family have since raved about their food journeys and each of us send our compliments to the chef!
The staff even went out of their way to make sure a meal was delivered to a family member who ended up feeling ill and was unable to partake in the festivities. We didn’t have to ask - they just took care of it. It’s those little details that set Mountain Top apart from other venues. All of those special touches made it that much more enchanting. Everything turned out above and beyond what we’d hoped for and that’s maybe the best compliment we could offer - that Mountain Top gave us our dream wedding.
To Gayle, our many thanks for the gorgeous decor and greenery. From my wildflower bouquet to the tabletop centerpieces, your skill at your craft was plain to see and it all came together beautifully!
Oh, and the backdrop? Breathtaking. The mountains, hills, and reservoir are unbelievably picturesque. Like an elixir for the eyes, it’s the kind of view that makes everything that came before seem like a warm up for the real thing. Spectacular!
Mountain Top was everything a couple could wish for in a wedding venue and yet so much more - if you’re looking for amazing views, brilliant staff, and an unbelievable experience, this is the venue or getaway for you! We will be recommending it to family and friends for years to come (and plan to make it a regular vacation destination!). There’s just nothing like it. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making every one of our hopes for our wedding a reality!!

We had a lovely wedding! Mountain Top Inn is just gorgeous. I refer to it as a wedding factory or a college campus for weddings, but in the best way possible. This is because they ...
have pretty much everything you need right at the site which is perfect. All of the guest houses/lodge rooms are comfortable and nice! The food was absolutely delicious ( I even had a few of my guests who are chef's, raving about it) and overall between the ceremony at the knoll, to cocktail hour at the tavern area, to the reception in the barn, everything flowed smoothly! I cannot speak highly enough about the florist either, all of the bouquets and boutineers were just stunning and everything that I had dreamed of. Finally, Cassie, SHE IS WONDERFUL!!! Cassie was my coordinator through the venue and I was even lucky enough to have her as my 'day of' coordinator because of how busy the venue was! She made the whole day run so smoothly and truly just helped me keep my head on my shoulders throughout everything!! I seriously recommend getting married here!!!

te being two years out- we were immediately connected to a planner. Our planner Chelsea was with us from day one and was always so communicative, patient and supportive. One of our favorite things about getting married at Mountain Top was having a excuse to visit the beautiful place numerous times over the planning process. We've stayed in the Inn, the cabins and houses on the property- all of which are clean, comfortable and beautiful! The wedding weekend was truly a dream- we had over 100 guests staying on property and everyone had the time of their lives. The rehearsal dinner down at the lake was picturesque, well run and food was delicious. The photo-ops are gorgeous and the vibes are casual yet elevated - a chic Vermont summer camp dream! Saturday, our wedding day was even better. Everything was setup exactly as discussed, everything ran on time thanks to our incredible day-of coordinator Rachel, the food was amazing. I could go on and on! Truly not one thing went wrong- all expectations were exceeded and now we get to have Mountain Top as our special place forever. Our guests can not stop saying that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The VIEWS cannot be beat and the way MTI runs a event is the perfect mix of elegant, casual and comfortable. 11/10 would recommend! Thank you Chelsea, Rachel, Jay (beverage manager) and all the other INCREDIBLY kind MTI staff that made our weekend so special.

Wow, getting married at the Mountain Top Inn & Resort was the best decision I ever made (outside of marrying my fiancé of course!)
My entire planning process from start to finish ...
was phenomenal. Leading up to the event (3 years in the making thanks to Covid) I had the pleasure of working with Chelsea who answered my many MANY emails and they worked with me on so many concerns I had as well as all the constant changes that kept popping up.
Day of, Morgan was an absolute DREAM to work with. I had 0 concerns about anything going askew. Morgan and the team were always 5 steps ahead taking care of everything. Literally nothing went wrong, this venue is a well oiled machine and really knows how to put on an event. All our friends and family can not stop raving about everything, from the food, to the views, the barn, the rooms/houses and most importantly the staff.
Gayle really is a master when it comes to flowers and decor, I truly was a magical day and worth the 3 year wait to host my wedding at the Mountain Top.
I truly can’t say enough, this place is 10/10 do yourself a favor and get married here! It will be everything you dreamt of and more.

It was truly the best decision we made to get married there! The grounds, the foliage, the customer service, the activities, the food....all of it was beyond our expectations! They have perfected how to do weddings to achieve the fairy tale that all of us brides want for our special day and special weekend! We initially worked with Khele Sparks, who was incredible! We then worked with Chelsea Howe, who we cannot give enough accolades to. She answered every single email immediately and without any evidence of frustration!!! We felt so at ease with her guidance! It is certainly an overwhelming process and Chelsea really made us feel taken care of! The entire staff really worked so well together in making our wedding so seamless and so well executed!! We still get comments from our guests that this was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! And the team at Mountain Top Inn is the reason for that!! My husband and I are just so sad that it is over!! We will go back every year to celebrate our anniversary for sure!! Best decision ever!!!

I worked with Cassie leading up to the day and Carly was our day of coordinator and I cannot say enough positive things about both of them. Cassie dealt with my 1000+ emails asking a million questions and my constant obsessing over every detail. She also was so on top of everything in reminding me if I was forgetting something/leaving anything out. If any issue ever did arise, she always had a solution.
We also worked with Carly as our day-of coordinator and she is a gem. She is the sweetest, always smiling and always calm. She had incredible attention to detail when working with the in-house florist, Gayle, to ensure everything looked exactly how we envisioned. I was able to completely relax and enjoy my wedding weekend without any stress of things going according to plan because I knew Carly was on top of it all.
The Mountain Top Inn exceeded our expectations in every possible way and gave us the most perfect and memorable wedding weekend.

My husband and I got married at the Mountain Top over Labor Day Weekend, and it was the venue and wedding of our dreams!! We knew we wanted to get married in my home state of Vermo...
nt, but with most of our guests traveling from out of town we needed a destination that could provide a full weekend escape, with everyone able to stay on property. The Mountain Top checked every box. Our friends and family had the time of their lives and took full advantage of all the fun things to do (swimming, boating, hiking, horseback riding, clay bird shooting), and we were able to plan the PERFECT celebration. This was almost entirely thanks to Cassie – my wedding planning soulmate who spent three years (since we had to postpone due to COVID) answering my emails and phone calls and texts, reworking timelines and checklists, coming up with incredible ideas, and making it all happen seamlessly! She is an absolute DREAM and helped bring every last vision and detail to life! From our rehearsal dinner by the lake, to a huge welcome party, to bridal party and family members getting ready in nearly every house, to an absolutely incredible mountain top ceremony, to a cocktail hour by the pool (complete with a rainbow!), to a party in the barn that had our guests dancing nonstop, to an after party in the tavern, to brunch the next morning – the staff did not miss a beat. The food was AMAZING (seriously so many compliments), the bartenders and servers were on top of it, the shuttle drivers got everyone where they needed to go with a smile, and the entire crew knew every detail of our wedding plans and ensured it all ran SO smoothly. We were a big group and had a lot of special touches and requests, and every single detail was looked after. We can't thank the entire team enough. The venue and views speak for themselves – it is the people that truly take this place from "incredible" to "nowhere else in the world compares."
We also worked with Gayle at Meadow's Edge Floral on all of our floral design – she is sooo lovely and talented! It was so helpful to work with someone (especially when you're planning from out of state) who is on-site and knows every last inch of the property. She went above and beyond for us, and entertained all of my wild requests – from wrapping all of the trees by the lake in twinkle lights for our rehearsal dinner, to covering the entire aisle with white pedals for a "snowy" effect in the summer, to floating a canoe filled with flowers in the pool at cocktail hour, to wrapping every single column and bar in greenery for the reception! We spent hours on the phone dreaming up fun touches, and she is so creative and knowledgeable. She and her team knocked it out of the park – walking into the barn and seeing our vision brought to life on the night of our wedding truly took my breath away.
Long story short: Booking the Mountain Top (and Meadow's Edge!) for your wedding will be the best decision you make. The ease of allowing all your guests to stay on property, coupled with the breathtaking views and Vermont scenery, plus the staff and their expertise and dedication to giving you the perfect celebration, all add up to an incredibly memorable and perfect start to married life. We will be coming back for our anniversary every year!!

We worked with the Cassie and Morgan for our 2021 Halloween wedding and my whole wedding party can't stop raving about them and the incredible venue! Cassie, Morgan, and the Mounta...
in Top staff made the entire process so easy- even with so many last minute changes. They were so flexible to our needs as a couple and our guests' needs. We had a few minor bumps on the wedding day and Morgan handled everything with a smile and grace! On top of the amazing staff, the venue is absolutely stunning. Gayle and the Meadow's Edge Floral Design team spent so much time with us to pick out each floral arrangement and the final product took my breath away. The team at Mountain Top truly wants you to have the most magical day. We can't recommend them enough!!
