We are so glad we chose Lake Morey resort for our wedding venue. Our top priority for our venue was to find a place where our friends and family would be able to share quality time together, have fun, and enjoy the outdoors. Lake Morey nailed it with their social environment, gorgeous grounds, and amazing live music.
We had our ceremony in the Hemlock Gardens, with cocktail hour in Mapleview Gardens & tented reception on the lawn — all the venues dressed up beautifully for the big day. While food wasn’t a huge priority for us when selecting the venue, Lake Morey greatly exceeded our expectations. The reception food and hors d’oeuvres were delicious and garnered a ton of compliments.
And no review of Lake Morey would be complete without a shout-out to Bonnie, the in-house wedding coordinator, who is exceptional. She was extremely organized, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process. When we had a scare about getting rained out, she proactively made sure to book the nicest spaces for backup venues at no upcharge for us (fortunately, the skies did clear up for the big day, but she saved our welcome party from disaster). It was so clear to us that Bonnie really cares about the couples she works with — it’s more than just a job for her.
Thank you once again Bonnie and all the amazing staff at Lake Morey!

We loved doing our wedding at Lake Morey. We had about 170 people attending, and the space was perfect for that number. Working with Bonnie was extremely easy throughout the whole experience, and the entire staff was great the day-of. If you're looking for a venue that has space for guests to stay on-site, this is perfect. We rented the Denslow Cottages for our wedding parties, and stayed in the small cottage so the backyard for those was ours for the weekend. It made the night before and the day-of a lot of fun, since we had a big space to hang with friends, and enjoy the lake from.
Also - the food at our wedding was delicious, and one of the things we got the most compliments on from our guests. We did salmon/chicken/vegetarian, and all 3 meals were delicious. The tasting was a great time, and getting to meet the chef was great.
Overall, Lake Morey takes great care of you, and the entire staff seems to really care about making your wedding experience special. We are excited to go back and visit the resort in the years to come, and are thankful we picked it as the site for our wedding.

We had a perfect wedding at Lake Morey Resort 6/24/2023. Choosing LMR for our wedding was a no brainer, my husband and I grew up in the area and the backdrop is perfect for a New England wedding. Our wedding coordinator, Bonnie was top notch! She has an eye for detail and gave us recommendations when needed. Rain was expected the day of the wedding, Bonnie showed us multiple indoor location options for the ceremony the day before if the rain did not clear in time for the ceremony... On the wedding day, 15 minutes before the ceremony, it was sprinkling but lightening up. Bonnie came to us and asked again about ceremony location - she wanted us to have everything we wanted and we wanted it outside. She assured us everything would be perfect, and it was! A very light sprinkle and it stopped as soon as we read our vows. The rest of the night was perfect. Only good things about the food from our guests and the line at the bar was steady. Our wedding parties and some family stayed at one of the Denslow Cottages for the long weekend, beautiful place right on the water and a great spot to get ready in and take some pictures while it was raining outside. I am still getting messages from guests saying how perfect the day was. You definitely won't regret getting married here!

Had a fantastic wedding here with the beautiful scenery/grounds, great food, and plenty of options to really make the event your own. Our only complaint is the wedding coordinator Bonnie. She's pushy, un responsive, assumed my fiance and I were going to be demanding/high maintenance, is uninformed of policies at the resort, and is just overall incorrect about information. For example we had to correct here twice about the contract details/payment due before signing it. She then insisted that she would change the details that were incorrect after we signed and returned the copy she sent... there are so many things wrong with that morally and professionally. The week before the wedding she told us she could not store our cake (which was incorrect), did not have the correct number of chairs, and the timeline of events was off by 30min. My fiance and I were very organized and on the date the final payment was due we were never contacted and when we called the office were told that Bonnie would reach out to us regarding it. Then 3 days later she called us to say that we must pay our balance immediately. We were traveling across the country that day to the venue and told her that we'd be happy to give her a check early the next morning sense this demand was so short notice. She said that wasn't possible and that we would have to give her a credit card number over the phone at this very moment. The other coordinator Sarah was more than helpful and very helpful/responsive to work with. The day before the wedding we were told that Bonnie would not be our coordinator on the day of and that a former coordinator for the resort would take over. The day of coordinator was wonderful and took excellent ent care of us, she was really on top of things. Overall we loved our wedding here and would recommend it, we just wouldn't recommend Bonnie, she made the entire process way more stressful and complicated than it needed to be. We spent the last few months managing and helping HER instead of the other way around.

Hello Christine,
Thank you for the detailed feedback. Ultimately we are glad to hear th...
at your wedding day was seamless and that you and your guests were well taken care of while on property throughout the weekend festivities. We do strive to make the process prior to arrival as stress free as possible, understanding this can be difficult with multiple family members participating in the planning, different time zones and even different countries, as well as constant last minutes changes and adjustments that can occur. As a team we are reviewing your wedding communications and our documents so that we can best learn how not to repeat any of the steps that made your planning feel more complicated than necessary and your dissatisfaction with Bonnie (who otherwise receives amazingly high marks from couples). We have already made a few adjustments to our communication and billing process to help improve timing and clarity. Our entire team strives to help our couples host remarkable wedding weekends and while we are disappointed we missed the mark with your prearrival planning, we are pleased to know it all came together beautifully. We wish you both a wonderful New Year and a long happy and healthy future together.

This was the perfect place to get married. We loved that we could have the ceremony, reception and a place for everyone to stay all in the same location. The food that Lake Morey provided was amazing. The best part about our experience with Lake Morey was our day-of planner that they provided, Bonnie. She truly made everything run very smoothly on the day of, she was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions quickly and efficiently. She was a joy to work with, and we could not have done it without her. I have had many people who attended the wedding reach out to me, singing her praises. We honestly want to go back to Lake Morey, just to hold a family reunion/party! Thank you so much Lake Morey!

I could not put enough good things about our wedding at Lake Morey Resort. The views alone would’ve made this a perfect spot, but the team at the resort take the time to work with you on everything you need. They provide a list of past vendors and offer day of coordinating services so you can relax. The chef is also AMAZING and I will dream of all the food we had for years to come. All of our guests were able to stay at the resort with us and loved it. Being close to so many great trails was also a big plus as well as little shops along the way. Another bonus? Lake Morey was able to host a welcome dinner and farewell breakfasts for our guests which made seeing all of our loved ones relaxed and was also very appreciated for the out of towners (which was all 80 of our guests since this was a destination wedding). Whether you have a ceremony of the water or in their garden space, you will not be disappointed by any photo you have of your special day at the resort. We cannot thank the Lake Morey team enough for helping us to have our dream day!

We had a wonderful experience with Lake Morey Resort. It's a beautiful venue, right on the edge of Lake Morey. We were also fortunate enough to have fantastic weather for our early June wedding. We worked with Bonnie, and she was very responsive and ensured everything flowed smoothly. We used the Terrace Ballroom which opens up right onto the outdoor/lakeside space we used for the ceremony. They take care of all the chairs, tables, linen, bar, appetizers and dinner food, etc (the only thing we had to cater was the cake). People stayed the following day and it was a great opportunity to gather and share breakfast in the dining room. Canoes and kayaks are available for use and a group of us went canoeing. In addition to hotel rooms, they also have individual "cottages" (which are actually huge houses with fantastic views of the lake) that you can rent to stay in, which part of our family did. Overall, I would say we had good communication and it was great value--beautiful, but affordable. The food was not amazing, but with everything else being wonderful and the cost being reasonable compared to other Vermont venues, I am still very, very happy with choosing to have our wedding at Lake Morey Resort. I wish we could do it all over again!

We had an absolutely beautiful & fun-filled wedding at Lake Morey Resort! We picked the venue without having the chance to visit due to COVID. It really exceeded our expectations. There are several great outdoor options for various events of different sizes -the lakefront, gardens and front lawn. It was also extremely convenient to have everything in one place & not have to worry about food & transportation. Our guests enjoyed several outdoor activities on the day of the wedding - biking, tennis, hiking and kayaking. All the staff were very polite & friendly. Melissa, the wedding coordinator did a terrific job, helping make a very stressful day less stressful for us. Everyone had such a fantastic time. Thank you for making our wedding weekend so magical!

We had our ceremony and reception at Lake Morey. Beautiful location and views. Most of the staff was delightful and the chef was wonderful to work with - took the time to listen to what we pictured and wanted for our cocktail hour and reception. However, the wedding venue coordinators (Melissa is unresponsive and Erin is just rude) were TERRIBLE! How incredibly stressful!! Responses often took weeks and then only half of our questions were answered. The most mundane requests were not met. Keep in mind- you are paying for the use of the venue- all other details and the follow-through are done by you. Even the day of the wedding we didn’t have answers- ie who brings the cake down and when, where was the table for the unity ceremony, etc, etc. all we can say is, thank goodness for family. Even after the wedding we spoke with the owner, Mark about our experiences- My husband heard crickets.

Just want to thank the entire staff at Lake Morey Resort for making our son's 6/9/19 wedding weekend so memorable.
The wedding couple chose the resort as it could be a single place where friends and family could gather not only for the wedding festivities, but serve as a weekend getaway for guests at the same time. Guests enjoyed the golf, tennis, trails, paddle boards and canoeing. Having perfect weather for an entire weekend didn't hurt either!
I was pleased to plan a rehearsal dinner with Melissa Seaver who was so responsive and patient in answering all my questions via email and phone. This was much appreciated since all planning was done long distance as I did not have the opportunity to visit the venue prior to the wedding weekend. The "I Do BBQ" Rehearsal dinner was outdoors in a beautiful setting in Mapleview Gardens followed by a guest Welcome Smores Party with lawn games at the firepit. What a beautiful and fun venue! Thank you also to Food and Beverage Manager Elias who was working hard all weekend and oversaw a most delicious buffet BBQ rehearsal dinner. I only wished I had saved room for more homemade pie. The wedding and reception the following day was spectacular and I know the bride, groom, and bride's family would agree that we would all recommend Lake Morey Resort as an excellent choice for a wedding venue! Visit and see for yourself!

From our very first visit to Lake Morey Resort in September 2013 to our wedding in June 2015, and all the many visits in between, we were blown away by the amazing hospitality they provided. We envisioned a wedding location where all our family and friends could enjoy themselves for a weekend away--the lake, the pool, hot tub, spa, golf course, tennis, bar, restaurant, and so much more provided our guests with ample entertainment. So many of our guests did just that, spent a weekend in Vermont relaxing and enjoying the lake. I loved looking out my window and seeing family or friends kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, tubing, and more! We were in touch with Erin, the incredible Director of Sales very often from booking the resort through to our wedding day, June 27, 2015. I had SO many questions, and Erin was always prompt to respond, kind, understanding, and creative helping with our wedding ideas. The lead up to the wedding involved so many details but Erin made it as stress free as possible, especially when dealing with our many characters involved. The same is true of Theresa, who worked the front desk for our wedding weekend and many of our visits up to the resort for planning. Every interaction with her was a joy--I am still hearing about things she did to help my family and guests throughout the weekend. I can't say enough about the kindness of all the staff at Lake Morey--they were so wonderful to work with! The setting was perfect, the staff were amazing, and our wedding weekend getaway was everything we wanted. I would highly recommend Lake Morey Resort to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and scenic location with something for everyone to enjoy. We are very grateful and can't wait to visit again :)

Our wedding was October 13th of 2012 and we had perfect weather. The resort did a great job overall. We had a few (5) mix up with the rooms. As all of our guest were coming from out of town.
They didn't have that in the system even though I had comfirmed rooms. Or some of the guests didn't get the room they had requested upon booking.
Other then that the service was great! The rooms were great! The food was more then great! If you are thinking of getting married here, DO IT!

The lake morey resort had wonderful service and fully lived up to our wedding day expectations. Every little request was promptly met and my new husband and I were able to fully enjoy a wonderful and worry free reception. My only complaint was the food. My chicken was wonderful, but my husbands prime rib was way over cooked and flavorless.

The ceremony site out by the lake was beautiful, the weather was perfect. The food was delicious and the hall was beautiful. The bartenders were very good. The event planner when cutting the cake threw out my sugar flowers from my cake which was upsetting they were beautiful and a contributing factor to the cost of the cake.
