Devil's Head Resort

I hate to leave such a negative review, but when you are spending so much money on such an important day, I think it is important to read honest reviews. My husband and I recently had our wedding at Devil's Head Resort. The reason we chose Devil's Head was because of the convenience that the ceremony site, reception area, and lodging were all onsite. Our first con was that Devil's Head booked our room block in the Lodge instead of the Inn . This wasn't a huge deal, but we definitely were given the idea that the room block would be in the Inn since it was basically connected to our reception site and we were never shown the Lodge rooms during our two separate tours of the property. Our guests commented on how dated the rooms in the lodge were, but we have no idea what they looked like since we were only shown the Inn. We also rented 3 of the 6 condos for Friday and Saturday night. The front doors of 2 of the 3 condos we rented didn't work. If we left the condos, we had to leave the doors opened and unlatched or we would get locked out. Being a wedding weekend, we had a lot of expensive things in these condos so it was definitely not ideal to have to leave the doors completely open whenever we left. Our second con of the resort is the bathroom placement. At the time of our tours, I thought the placement of the Clifthaus bathroom was inconvenient... The Friday before my wedding my mom and I were walking around the resort and wanted to check out the bathrooms again. When we went downstairs to look at the bathrooms that we thought were so inconvenient, they were completely torn apart, under construction, and not usable. The venue never gave us a heads up, or a warning that the bathrooms may not be usable. After we brought it up to them, the only solution they had was to use a bathroom that was even further away, or to go outside, around to the Devil's Den bar, and use the bathroom on that side. We had a few guests that were older and handicapped that shouldn't have had to venture that far to go to the bathroom. The final con was the food. It was honestly embarrassing. Everything was completely different than our tasting. The first course salad was SO small. When the waitstaff set my salad in front of me, it was almost laughable. The lettuce didn't even cover the bottom of the plate. For the main entrees we chose the Beef Tenderloin Tips Bourguignon with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and maple glazed carrots, chicken marsala, and roasted vegetable tortellini. The beef entrée for our wedding was nothing like what we had for our tasting. The carrots were not maple glazed, they just tasted like under cooked carrot slices. The beef was the worst part. Each guest received 4 tiny pieces of beef on top of the side of potatoes. The portion of the beef was so tiny, it was not even a quarter of the amount we received for our tasting. It was definitely not enough to feed a grown adult. Many of our guests commented on the tiny portions of beef. The next morning we spoke with the front desk and the answer they have us was "beef prices have doubled". To me, this is no excuse to cut our meals so drastically from our tasting. Again, I don't like leaving negative reviews, but when you are spending so much time and money on a wedding, you want everything to be perfect. I understand things don't always go according to plan, but theses issues were very disappointing and embarrassing.

We could not have asked for a more perfect Wedding Venue and overall day. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and as the first wedding of the season I think we kicked it off with bang. We were able to do our ceremony in their main outdoor area with a beautiful little stream and nestled under the trees. We also were able to take pictures on their stunning golf course. The Cliffhaus reception rooms created a beautiful back drop to our simple and elegant wedding vision that kept the heart of spring at the center. The food was also pretty incredible and all in all my husband and I look back on the day and all we can say is that it was utterly perfect!

We had our wedding and reception at Devil's Head October 13th 2018 and it was fantastic! Holly in Group Sales was AMAZING. She made it so easy to plan the perfect weekend. She went above and beyond at helping us make our plans, including responding in a very timely manner to any calls and emails I sent her way. When we couldn't find any local venues for a ceremony, she was able to find us a space to put up a tent on site. The Cornucopia room was the perfect room for our 120 guests - enough room for a dance floor, appetizer tables and cocktail area, as well as perfect ambiance and windows looking out onto the fall foliage. We loved that the rooms were affordable so that our guests, who were primarily from out of state, were able to easily stay multiple nights so that our friends and family were able to spend quality time together. Having a bar and restaurant on site were essential. And to top it off, there was a firepit available outside the bar for our after hours gatherings. Everyone single person we worked with, from the bar manager to the chef, to the general manager, was extremely accommodating and eager to help us get what we wanted for our special day. The servers and bartenders really took care of us all night and made it so easy to have fun all night long!! The food at the reception was fantastic - our guests raved about the portions, the flavor and the fact that everything was warm when delivered. Overall, we could not have been happier with our wedding weekend at Devil's Head Resort.

The price was incredible and the scenery was amazing. Many guests approached us after the wedding to comment on how beautiful the setting was. The group sales/event staff was great and attentive from the moment we contacted them all the way through booking, planning, and the wedding. The hotel rooms are below average (leaky roof, outdated, etc.) but you don't plan a wedding around where you sleep and the price for the rooms (about $100) couldn't be beat. The food was great and the wait/bar staff were professional and courteous. I would recommend this location to anyone who wants to plan an outdoor/scenic wedding and especially for those trying to have a beautiful wedding on a budget.
