I could not have been happier with my experience at the Trapp Family Lodge. Anybody with an affection for the Green Mountains will adore the views available from each wedding site (and guest room!) on property -- they're breathtaking year-roun...d. Their staff is simply amazing. Everyone, from the housekeeping staff to the waitstaff to the bellmen to their astounding wedding coordinator (Kira Comstock) is friendly, courteous, helpful, and energetic.
Kira is, of course, the biggest reason to hold an event at the Trapp. She is able to organize every aspect of the event, from reserving a block of rooms for guests and booking your free honeymoon suite, to menu planning and wine selecting and scheduling the agenda for your big day. Many times, I would email her asking "where can I rent a ______?" And she would respond with, "I went ahead and got that for you, you're all set." On my wedding day, she was there for every step of the way, keeping me calm, cool, and excited to be there.
A wedding at the Trapp is guaranteed to be two things: FUN and DELICIOUS. They have a huge wedding tent for large groups, and several indoor places for smaller receptions. I chose the post-and-beam Mozart Room, which had plenty of space for all my friends to get down and boogie after dinner! And what a dinner we had -- everyone was delighted with their meals (try the squash biqsue and roasted pork entree), which were decadent but just the right portion for a bride in her lace-up corseted gown. And their cakes are delicious, with over one hundred potential combinations for flavors.
At first, the price tag might seem steep, at $109 per person (not including bar). But consider what it includes: the on-site ceremony, chair rentals, reception site, tables and dining chairs, table linens, dance floor, sound system (we DJed our own wedding so that was needed), appetizers at the cocktail reception, dinner and cake, the honeymoon suite, and Kira's incredible expertise.
Add in the fact that you can have family and friends from all over the country reserve a block of rooms (at 20% off) for their stay in a luxury resort and actually ENJOY your big day (instead of freaking out over every detail), and it's an obvious choice!
Do yourself a favor, and get married here. You will have your dream wedding.
