Okemo Mountain Resort

We got married at Okemo in late August 2024 at the summit and we were the first summit ceremony since 2019! The Okemo staff truly went above and beyond to make the experience memorable for us and our guests. As a skier / outdoor enthusiast, a venue such as Okemo creates a truly remarkable experience from the summit ceremony overlooking the green mountain range to the Roundhouse Lodge that reminded everyone of the winter fun. The logistics around a summit ceremony can be quite complicated but the planning and effort put in by the Okemo staff was extremely thorough and professional. We also had the pleasure to work closely with Kim & Redmond who went out of their way to ensure every detail was executed smoothly. The food was incredible, we first meet Chef Mark at our tasting, and he amazed us with the potential food pairings as well as his impressive culinary background. From cocktail hour until closure, the food & wait staff were extremely thorough from allergies/dietary restrictions to serving hot food in a timely manner - our guests were so impressed with the food quality and professionalism of the staff. We also had a chance to meet the bar manager William who helped us find the perfect wine to pair with our chosen food! One great part of doing a wedding here is the ease with the on-site lodging, either at the Jackson Gore Inn or nearby Airbnbs, that all of our guest remarked as affordable & convenient. This made it super easy for us to host 150 guests. During the planning process, we had a chance to learn about the town of Ludlow. From restaurants & bars to the town hall, we got to enjoy the charm and warmth of the beautiful town. Everyone was so kind and had so much pride being from a historic ski town. Overall, we highly recommend future couples to have a summit ceremony here - not just for the pictures alone but for the overall experience!

Okemo is the perfect wedding destination. The team at Okemo worked with us to reschedule our 2020 wedding to 2021 with patience, flexibility, and kindness. The wedding day was glorious -- the weather perfect, the food divine, and the staff attentive. Many of our guests enjoyed the "Adventure Zone" before the wedding, and we heard from almost everyone just how perfect the venue was for a wedding weekend. We now feel like part of the Okemo family and will be visiting as often as we can.

Our overall experience with our wedding venue and coordinators at the Round Room was extremely positive. Our coordinators, Pamela and Lynn went above and beyond to ensure the reception was beautifully decorated and seamlessly executed. Pamela even made a special trip to decorate the center column with additional lights and brought in a beautiful bouquet for the front table. They were both very responsive to phone calls and email messages. They were also very accommodating, in that we were able to store all of the custom-made centerpieces in advance of the reception. Our initial meeting with the chef was delightful. We had a great time working with him to customize our wedding day buffet menu, and all of the food we sampled during the tasting was delicious. We were confident that the reception food would be amazing, however we were very disappointed with the quality of the food on our wedding day. The food was a major part of the reception and also the most expensive aspect. The reception buffet quality was well below average, which was noted also by our family and friends in attendance. The meat was very “tough” and most of the vegetables were also undercooked. I cannot speak to the quality of the hors d’oeuvres as we were not present for the cocktail hour. All of the staff present at the reception and at the Inn were very professional and helpful. Our accommodations were comfortable and enjoyable. Although I loved the location, I would be hard-pressed to hold another reception there considering the expense - and gamble that the food would somehow be better.

I couldn't be more pleased with my wedding at the Jackson Gore Inn at Okemo Mountain. Okemo is a special place for my entire family- I grew up skiing there and my fiance proposed right on the mountain! Working with Pam, Lynn, Chriis, and John was fantastic- I booked the venue 2 years in advance and got to know them quite well. They even honored the prices from when we booked 2 years earlier. We had one of the general managers (John) perform our ceremony- he was fantastic!!! He interviewed my husband and I so that our ceremony was personal-- people are still talking about how much they loved our ceremony. I emailed Pam and Chriis almost weekly to check in on the details and they always responded promptly and with answers to my questions. The chef was amazing. He met with us prior to our wedding for our tasting and helped us create a perfect menu that all of our guests enjoyed. I am so glad that I choose Jackson Gore for my wedding.
