Stratton Mountain Resort

incredible experience.  It started with our tour with Courtney, who was the most personable guide. She didn’t push the sale and we talked about so much more than just the spaces we were seeing. She was the initial selling point and one of the reasons we ultimately chose Stratton as our venue. Then we were handed off to our day of coordinator, Emily, and there are no words that are sufficient enough to express our immense gratitude to her. As someone who used to work in events, I know the time, effort, and stress that comes with this position and it’s not for everyone. But my god Emily was born for this role and she excels at it. She was an absolute ROCK STAR throughout the entire planning process, but especially on the day of. First, I know I was a difficult bride when it came to communication and planning. I wasn’t timely with responses and I procrastinated pretty much every task that was given to me. But not once did Emily make me feel guilty or a burden, and I truly appreciated her patience as I tried to manage the stress of wedding planning. She was kind, fun to work with, and best yet we shared a great commonality of being dog people and she showed an unbelievable amount of love to our fur baby, who we incorporated into the wedding. Emily’s talents especially shined on the day of, and she has been a big talking point amongst friends and family as someone who massively contributed to the success of our wedding. She was everywhere all at once managing logistics, trouble shooting any issues that arose, ensuring we followed the day’s timeline as best we could despite my hair and makeup setting us an hour behind (which Emily got us caught up in no time), and making sure everything went smoothly throughout the day. She was so on top of things that it has contributed to some funny highlight moments such as my brother forgetting a drink for his toast, and before he could finish calling himself out, Emily appeared out of thin air with a drink for him. If that doesn’t reflect her attention to detail then I don’t know what does. I could go on forever marveling at her capabilities and how fantastic she was to work with. Truly so indebted to her. Finally, I can’t forget to extend my appreciation and praise to Kelsey, who I believe was Emily’s right hand, and the rest of the Stratton team. Despite only interacting with Kelsey briefly, it was evident she was just as sweet, professional, and competent as Emily and Courtney, and she ensured that set up and breakdown went well, and the space looked absolutely beautiful. The overall team handled our stuff with utmost care (we used some valuable, delicate decor of our own for cocktail hour) and everything returned to us in great shape and without anything missing. Every staff member we interacted with in general were so friendly—the pickleball pros for our day before tournament, the front desk check-in attendants, the summit attendants, general workers, etc.  The food was also some of the best wedding food we’ve ever had (including the continental next day brunch which I notoriously find to be lackluster anywhere else), with guests raving about how delicious everything was. We are SO grateful for Stratton and the enchanting weekend we had there. This will forever live in my memory as the best weekend of my life!! 

us and all of our guests. From the day we toured the venue, to the moment we arrived for our wedding weekend, we felt so welcome. Seeing congratulatory signs for us throughout the village was such a thoughtful touch that made the entire weekend feel incredibly special. Our wedding would not have been as perfect without the coordinator, Emily. She was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, she scheduled multiple Zoom calls with us to go over every detail, answer our questions, and make sure we felt confident every step of the way. On the wedding day, she handled everything behind the scenes so seamlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. Emily kept the entire day running smoothly and on schedule, making the experience completely stress-free not only for me as the bride, but also for our entire wedding party and our families. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment because we knew we were in such capable hands. In addition to Emily, the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we had dreamed of and more. Every single person we interacted with was kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. Our guests absolutely loved the charming ski village atmosphere in the summer. It was peaceful, picturesque, and never felt overcrowded, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain setting. It truly felt like we had our own little village for the weekend. We are so grateful to everyone at Stratton Mountain, especially Emily, for making our dream wedding a reality. We would choose this venue all over again without hesitation! Look no further! 

and stress-free. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the setting was, how food the food was and how unique it felt to celebrate surrounded by the mountains. So many said it was the best wedding they’ve been to in years. The venue offered the perfect balance of elegance, warmth, and Vermont charm. Every space photographed beautifully, and the scenery created an unforgettable backdrop for our ceremony and reception.  Stratton’s staff was excellent in making sure everything ran smoothly and that we could simply be present and enjoy the day. We felt genuinely supported and trusted their event expertise. It made the day unforgettable for us and our guests! 

ail was stunning. We received countless compliments from our guests about how gorgeous the venue was and how unique the entire experience felt. A bunch of people even said it was the best wedding that theyve ever been to. The food was delicious, and the food and drink service throughout the evening was exceptional. Everything ran smoothly, and our guests were well taken care of. The biggest thank you goes to our coordinator, Emily. She made this entire experience so enjoyable from the very beginning. She was always there to answer our questions, even late at night and on weekends. She was incredibly organized, kind, and funny throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, she was on top of absolutely everything, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. She went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for everything she did. The little touches made our weekend even more special, like seeing our names displayed on the village chalkboard at The Market & Deli. We also appreciated the gentleman who helped us with the fire pit after struggles with getting access to the other fire pit. Every staff member we encountered was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely excited for us. As people who visit Stratton often for snowboarding, we already loved this mountain in the winter, but getting married here showed us just how breathtaking it is in the summer. Many people enjoyed hiking, golfing, and just exploring the village for the good food and scenery. If you're considering this venue, don't just come for the wedding, make a weekend out of it. It's an incredibly beautiful place with so much to enjoy. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect place to start our marriage. Thank you, Stratton, for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

the whole time and is one of the reasons it was a perfect day. If I could get married all over again I would do everything the same, there wasn’t a single hitch the whole time. All the workers at Stratton were also amazing and always checked in to make sure myself, my husband, or my guests were okay or if they needed anything. I could not recommend Stratton enough, I wish I could go to weddings at this venue all the time it was a magical experience. 

rocess went smoothly, and our coordinator Emily, went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was successful. Leading up to our day Emily was very responsive to emails/texts and easy to communicate with.  Day of: Everything went according to plan. Our guests raved about their experience from the uniqueness of the gondola ride to the elegance of the mountain club during our cocktail hour/reception. Most of our guests stayed at Long Trail House or Black Bear Lodge hotel—both extremely convenient and walkable to all of our wedding weekend events! The service of the Stratton staff was impeccable. Reception cocktail hour food and drinks on point. Dinner was delicious (we had filets, cod, veggie ravioli), cooked to the appropriate temps and served on time. Special shout/out to Kelsey (in charge of food and beverage at the SMC) for a fabulous reception and for hopping in to assist with bustling my gown! Emily was with us all day helping to facilitate our family/bridal party with photos at different locations and making sure everyone was where they needed to be, getting on shuttles and gondolas on time etc. She made sure our guests with mobility needs were accommodated at the top of the mountain. Her attention to detail, careful planning, and communication with our vendors allowed us to enjoy our day without having to worry about all the logistics. She ran the show, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was there to ensure our day was flawless. Thanks Emily, our wedding was truly a dream!

like we were “small potatoes” ever. She helped us think through everything, answered every little question, and is just an all around hilarious, lovely person. The day of the wedding she kept us and our guest informed of changes to our ceremony location due to weather, then dashed us around with our photographer to get beautiful views in between rain storms. She even gave me her shoes - HER SHOES! - so I could walk up a metal ramp without killing myself in my heels. Every single thing, from decorating to food, to lodging on site was perfect. Our guests had the BEST weekend and so did we. We will never forget the care Emily, Sarah, Kim, and Myra showed to our family and friends and the absolutely joy we experienced because of it in this truly special place.

hank you Emily for making such a wonderful experience 

ution of our vision was beyond expectation! A perfect winter wonderland fairy tale!  

She was truly amazing, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. From the moment the planning process began through our wedding day, she was organized, attentive, and incredibly reassuring. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing because Emily had every detail completely handled. Even with less-than-ideal weather, Emily worked her magic and somehow still made it possible for us to have our celebration outside, which meant so much to us. She handled everything with such calm professionalism, positivity, and care that our day felt entirely stress free. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, our wedding was absolutely perfect. We are beyond grateful and cannot recommend this venue and especially Emily enough.

so grateful. From Day 1 when we booked with Stratton a year before our date, Sarah was in contact providing endless recommendations and insight as we booked our vendors, created our timelines, and chose decor and other details. As we got closer to the wedding, Sarah was on top of every detail, coordinating with our vendors seamlessly and calming our pre-wedding nerves. During the wedding weekend, Sarah and her team executed perfectly, and brought our vision to life. She was handling everything behind the scenes, so all we needed to do was enjoy our time. Outside of being amazing at her job, Sarah is the sweetest, friendliest, calmest person, and I could not imagine going through the wedding planning process without her. We are so grateful for all the time, love, and care she put into making us (and our families) happy. The best part of our wedding was getting married at the top of Stratton Mountain on the yoga deck. We were lucky to get great weather (despite some risk of rain), and Sarah and her team made sure the whole ceremony flowed perfectly. Our guests loved the ride up to the top in a gondola (with a Champagne toast!) and enjoyed the views from the top before the wedding started. Beyond that, we were very impressed by the food and service at Stratton Mountain Club. We had a tasting at Stratton a few months before our wedding, where we met the catering manager and executive chef, and thought the food was excellent but wondered how it would be at a larger scale. We were so pleased that the food exceeded our expectations, and several guests commented how delicious it was, especially the appetizers. We also heard from several people about how friendly and helpful the staff at Stratton were during our event, which added an an extra special touch. Overall, we were so happy with our choice to get married at Stratton. We felt so loved all weekend, and like local celebrities in the town of Stratton (with several posting signs congratulating us and welcoming our guests). The accommodations at the Stratton condos were comfortable, clean, and perfect for our large group. We enjoyed several activities over the wedding weekend, including pickle ball, hiking, and golf, and had a wonderful rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Grizzly’s. Choosing Stratton was definitely the best decision we made for our wedding, and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

he little last minute details she got it done. I just can’t say enough about her. I want to steal her for my other 2 boys wedding in the near future.. atention to detail was insane… my HUGE family and the brides… I’m one of 9 not to mention the spouse and 38 nieces and nephews she killed it. She was able to get Avery one to where they need to be in a timely fashion. The wedding would have been a busy and out of control if we didn’t have Emily.. Emily we love you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for putting up with all the crazy stuff we planned. You orchestrated everything to the most professional degree. . 

uch to help and keeping us so organized, never complaining about me asking the same question 20 times. She also was just such a joy to be around, I can’t imagine getting married without her. She kept us so on track, gave amazing ideas, and kept a very stressful day stress free! We got married 4 days ago and we are still on a high! It was flawless having everyone in the same area, everyone loved their housing, having a shuttle for those who want it, but walking was SO easy. The village was open for those who want it, golf and activities for our guests, and easy travel for those driving from Boston, CT and NY! Truly nothing went wrong and everyone said it was the best wedding they ever went to - and they are a tough crowd to please!  The Chapel was adorable and could fit our entire group of 160 with seats to spare it was so cute. It was so fun seeing the leaves through the circle window. Taking pictures at the golf club was gorgeous.  The Stratton Mountain Club was perfect! The combo of cocktail hour and the reception worked perfectly. The fact that guests could take a break on the wraparound porch in front of the fire pits was such a plus, in addition to the comfy couches in the main area!. The food was AMAZING and the staff was incredible. We will never get over how amazing Stratton is and are forever grateful for making our special day absolutely perfect. If you are considering getting married at Stratton this is your sign to absolutely do it — not one complaint except we are sad it’s over!! 

d to out-do themselves through the entire process. Our event coordinator through the venue, Emily, was absolutely incredible. She was so supportive from start to finish and beyond. Just when we thought we couldn't be more impressed by her, she ran her butt off on the day of our wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. She did everything from hand delivering our florals to our rooms, coordinating every minute with our photographers, to helping bustle my dress. The Stratton Mountain Club itself is beautiful. It very comfortably fit our 100 guests with room to spare. The food was delicious and the service was incredible. All the staff were so attentive, kind, and friendly. They even brought our personalize coloring pages to help keep our 5 nieces and nephews busy during cocktail hour. The fire pits on the deck are such a nice touch too. Another great aspect of weddings at Stratton Mountain is that all of the guest lodging accommodations are on-site at the mountain. Everything is so close together and easily accessible. They provide a shuttle service which both helps the bridal party travel for photos if needed and helps transport guests to the ceremony, reception, and back at the end of the night. Even the shuttle driver was so kind and friendly! We cannot recommend Stratton Mountain Resort more for a wedding! It was everything we dreamed of and more!!

of the amazing staff. The staff and the bartenders were very accomodating to everyone of my guests! Emily was amazing! I cannot say enough remarkable things about her during the entire wedding planning process. Emily was answering every question we had about the wedding day since day one. She was able to ensure everything went off without a hitch (even through the minor groom misplacement), coordinating with the vendors, sticking to the timeline, and more. Emily even helped figure out the logistics of the cultural part of the ceremony, which I know she did a little bit of research into the ceremony itself which I am grateful for! The wedding planning process with Emily was stress free, which is all anyone can ask for. All our guests raved about how everything was seamless the day of the wedding. We cannot thank Emily & the Stratton Mountain team enough for all their hard work to make our day special!

ease.

else. From the start of the process, Sarah and the incredible staff worked with us to bring our vision to life, and made the entire day feel like “us”. The whole mountain team made sure guests were aware of important info, and everyone in the village made us feel so loved during our wedding weekend. We got married in late May, and even we got rained out of a summit ceremony, everyone was incredibly adaptable and helpful, and the ceremony in Timber Hall was perfect. I can’t recommend this venue enough, and thanks so much to the whole crew at Stratton for memories that’ll last a lifetime.

uring it! As a bride, I had to worry about absolutely nothing because she had it covered. We had a bagpiper outside the chapel after the ceremony and Emily organized everyone lining up for us to walk out of the chapel behind the bagpiper… it was so cool and everyone said what a great idea and I said “ I didn’t even know it was happening, Emily organized the whole thing!” That was just an example of how amazing she was. She coordinated with all of our vendors and made the weekend so smooth. She had us fully organized in the ceremony as well...I was blown away at how little I had to do! She also was incredibly responsive- I couldn’t believe how quickly she responded to little things we needed. Stratton has everything- our guests loved staying together in the condos, it was like our own private resort for the weekend ( we had an early June wedding), with a fun village with restaurants and activities like golf, pickleball, hiking etc. The food and drinks were excellent, and going up for the tasting event before the wedding was so fun and such a special memory for my mom and I! The mountain club has the perfect layout to fit our guests (180ish) with plenty of room for dancing. The views out of the window are gorgeous- and the cocktail hour on the deck with the mountain/ gondola views were also a highlight. Thank you Stratton and EMILY for making our wedding so amazing! Cannot recommend Stratton enough!!

’s the best wedding catering they have ever experienced. The bartenders were so friendly and fun to hangout with at the tasting and the day of the event. The entire experience of planning was flawless. We live in another state and the Stratton team facetimed us, met with our parents, and went above and beyond to answer all of our questions. This venue had everything - lodging for everyone’s needs and price points, shuttles, after party options, and an amazing vendor list of people who have worked many Stratton weddings. The thing that sets Stratton above the rest is their event coordination team. We were so grateful and lucky to be able to work with Emily. She was fun, kind, honest, communicated well, and the most organized. There was no detail or minute of the day unaccounted for. She kept a constant plan A, B, and C when the weather wasn't looking great to make sure we got a glimmer of hope to what we planned. Our day went absolutely PERFECTLY and it’s a huge credit to Emily and her team at Stratton. If you want a stress free, fun, organized wedding where your guests have options to stay, things to do and just have a good time- Stratton is it! We are walking away from the best day with zero regrets and tons of happy memories. Stratton truly makes you the priority for the weekend (including the businesses in the village that had a congrats signs with our names and the hotels having timelines printed for us). We can’t wait to come back and celebrate anniversaries in years to come.

had millions of questions, they provided all the resources and options we could need. On weekend of, they created our vision for set-up and they did the full take-down on our behalf. They packed everything up neatly and thoughtfully. Sarah, our coordinator, made my wedding dreams happen by giving us the opportunity to go skiing during our reception. And even got us some chocolate waffles!!! All in all, we are so incredibly happy we went with Stratton. The chapel is also beautiful and with so little decor looked gorgeous. Great value for our wonderful wedding weekend.

untain in the closed gondolas was a fun way to get to the ceremony too. Our reception was at the Green Apron which did an amazing job with the food and was a perfect size for our small wedding of 25 people. Last but certainly not least our coordinator Emily was amazing! She helped us with everything every step of the way making sure that we had everything lined up that we needed and did a fantastic job coordinating everything the day of so we didn’t have to worry about anything. Thanks Emily!

responsive and wonderful to work with. She really helped ease any stress and anxiety we had leading up to and the day of the wedding. She coordinated with our vendors to make the day run seamlessly. All of the staff at Stratton were professional and did a great job!

ed. Truly, a Vermont Mountain Vibe. The food was delicious and served on time. Drinks were very well proportioned and generous. The Wedding Planner, Emily Ladroga was exceptional in her attention to all wedding details, as well as making sure that both the couple, as well as the parents, had everything we needed. She was 100% on top of everything. Highly recommend her for anyone looking to use a Wedding Planner. Calm, cool and very helpful.

u the flexibility to make the weekend YOURS. We had all our guests together in the village for a long weekend. There were no food or transportation hassles for old or young. It was very relaxing. We had a welcome dinner at the golf club, a rehearsal dinner on the deck at Grizzlies, all the guests together for drinks, and then late night at the Green Door. It was like a private resort! The ceremony at the top was epic. The VIEW the LIGHTING the intimacy with nature, and a free Gondola ride for all. As the mother and father of the bride, we were so happy that Stratton fit so well and accommodated all our daughter and son-in-law's plans. TRULY OUR HAPPY PLACE Michael and Anna Federico

recommend this venue to anyone! Ashley Knight was the sweetest most dedicated coordinator we could have ever asked for!

ROOM WAS GRAND AND THE FOOD AND BEVERAGES TOP SHELF AND EMILY LADROGA WAS PARTICULARLY HELPFUL IN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MENU. EXCELLENT VALUE

welcome party at Grizzly’s that started the weekend off great, ceremony in the chapel that was amazing, and so much fun at our reception at SMC. Emily our coordinator made our whole day run so smoothly and even was the positive energy I needed when rain came our way and plans changed for the ceremony. Thank you so much for making our day special!

e our own little small town who was there to celebrate us. Sarah was so helpful in every step of the planning process. She worked with our vendors and helped us to create the most magical wedding. She really listened to what we needed, wanted and envisioned and made it happen! Sarah made our dream come true!! I highly recommend getting married at Stratton!!

vendors to work with (photographer, florist and DJ). Emily answered emails promptly and was always friendly and a pleasure to work with. The day of the wedding, she seemed to be everywhere where we needed a helping hand, attaching boutonnieres, suggesting settings for photos and keeping us all on time for the ceremony. Stratton Mountain Resort was a wonderful setting for the wedding and Emily made the planning process and execution memorable and FUN! Emily obviously loves what she does and it shows in the dedication she gave.

rs as my husband and I are from NJ and are not familiar with many VT businesses'. Emily checked in throughout the year we took to plan, ensuring we were right on track with all the details. She was very communicative and quickly responded whether that was via text or email. Our wedding went off without a hitch and we owe that to Emily! Highly recommend booking Stratton as a wedding venue and even more so recommend working with Emily! All of the Stratton staff were on their A-game for our day ensuring we were well fed and had everything that we needed. Thank you!!

ys willing to jump on a call to make sure we were on track with our planning. During the wedding weekend, Emily and the rest of the Stratton staff did a great job at bringing their enthusiasm to help make all of our guests feel an extra warm welcome. Our guests really enjoyed the fact that all of our weekend events were an easy walk from where their lodging was. We had an incredible time at an incredible venue!

l of the vendors on the wedding day. Emily also created a timeline that helped ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. As for the venue, I would 100% recommend. We held the welcome party at the Black Bear Lodge, the wedding ceremony at the summit and the reception at the Members Club. Everything (the staff, food and drinks) was perfect!

more. Emily, the coordinator from Stratton, was fantastic. She was incredibly responsive and handled all the small things with our vendors to make sure we had the best day!

our dinner at the Green Apron which is the restaurant at Stratton Golf course. It was dressed up beautifully, the food was excellent and of course our servers could not have been more accommodating and kind. Breakfast the morning after the ceremony was a wonderful way to send guests on their way home. Emily from Stratton was able to help us with every step of the weekend to help us with the smallest of details. All the guests had a wonderful time at this beautiful resort and the bride and groom had a stress free weekend. Thank you!

ceremony in remembrance of a relative at the Stratton Mountain School. Emily made it happen with little stress for us which was made our day feel all the more special. We are so grateful to the catering team for their careful consideration of multiple allergies when preparing the entrees Stratton Mountain Resort is an important part of our love story. We’re so grateful to Stratton for a magical memory that we will never forget.

ff also get an A+!! I would highly recommend Stratton Mt.!!!

htforward and painless. She had an answer for every question, and often anticipated our needs before we could verbalize them ourselves. Prior to our wedding weekend, she familiarized herself with our vendors and designated point people (her idea!) so that during the wedding, no onus was on us as a couple to worry about anything. If you're considering her as a wedding coordinator, do not hesitate. She was everything we could have hoped for and more.

o be together with our family. All details of the day were efficiently and professionally managed by all staff. Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and so much more. Thank you!

location was breathtaking. The reception at the Stratton Mountain Club was plentiful on space with a cozy vibe. Fireplaces roaring and a wrap-around outdoor deck were second only to the incredible beauty of the rooms. The food was AMAZING and plentiful. The bar was great and our signature cocktails were a hit. Our coordinator Erin was the most lovely person and made every second of our wedding absolutely flawless in its execution. We cannot say enough good things about our wedding. Whenever anyone has asked us how it was, our answer has been perfect. Highly recommend getting married at Stratton if you want a unique experience, with an epic view and location, delicious food, and the benefit of the village and its accommodations for the guests. Special shout out to Mulligans and the Green Door Pub for hosting our welcome dinner and after-party which were also amazing.
