Weddings Packages at Garnet Hill Lodge

Situated on 360 beautiful acres, surrounded by thousands of acres of Forever Wilderness Land and overlooking a pristine Thirteenth lake, Garnet Hill is the perfect setting for a wedding in any season. Wedding parties at Garnet Hill reserve the entire Inn for two nights of the special weekend to include the rehearsal dinner as well as the ceremony and reception. This allows the entire wedding party and guests to enjoy a true Adirondack experience for the weekend. Because we have no other guests in house when we hold this type of event, we can be most flexible in accommodating each wedding party’s individual preferences regarding schedule, menus and other special requirements.

The team at Garnet Hill is dedicated to providing an incredible weekend, from the Friday night events to the departing breakfast, our warm and friendly team of Inn Keeper, Chef, Wedding Coordinator, Outdoor Recreation Manager as well as front desk and wait staff are at your service.

A wedding at Garnet Hill Lodge might look like this…

Festivities begin with guests arriving Friday afternoon to discover the resort’s many outdoor activities (Canoeing, tennis, beach, hiking, biking, etc.) or to relax in one of the inn’s many quiet corners.

The celebration continues Friday evening with a rehearsal dinner. There are many possibilities at Garnet Hill to stylize unique rehearsal dinners. Options might include a barbeque on the front porch, a plentiful buffet style dinner on the front porch.

After a hearty country breakfast Saturday morning, guests are free to indulge in more of the resort’s activities or explore the local surroundings. Brown bag lunches, a sandwich buffet or our casual tavern menu can be available to guests for lunch.

An afternoon or early evening ceremony outside on the lawns is the ideal time to maximize the Lodges views. A champagne toast to the bride and gom with the sun setting in the horizon is the perfect way to begin the evening’s festivities. After all of the traditional photo ops, guests continue the celebration with dinner and dancing to the beat of a live band or DJ.

Sunday breakfast, served a little bit later than the usual breakfast, is the ideal time for all of the guests to congratulate the new bride and groom and to bid farewell before departing.

We can accommodate a wedding/reception up to 200 people outside with a tent. The Lodge’s main dining room capacity is 100. In peak wedding season, minimum capacity requirements may be in effect.
