We fell in love with the Whiteface Lodge from the pictures alone. It’s even more beautiful in person and an absolute dream location if you’re looking for something with both a rustic and intimate flair. Elissa and Kelly were both absolutely amazing to work with. We had to make numerous changes to our plans due to ever-changing COVID regulations, and both women were wonderfully calm and accommodating throughout the whole ordeal. (We did have some issues with our reservations when we arrived, I’m guessing as a result of all the changes we made, but I do not believe either Elissa or Kelly were responsible for that.) Kelly was our day-of coordinator, and she went above and beyond on numerous occasions, even taking the time to bounce my baby niece so my sister-in-law could enjoy her dinner! While I would not recommend trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic, I would absolutely recommend booking the Whiteface Lodge to celebrate your special day! -

Terri S. Sent on 10/31/2019Whiteface Lodge: Luxury Venue, Adirondack Elegance, Astonishing Value
The Whiteface Lodge was our wedding venue for our Adirondack wedding on September 15, 2019, and it was the most magical place to have a wedding, the most prepared, generous and hospitable to us and our guests. I can’t say enough about this exemplary venue and our two points of contact: Rosette Press, Director of Social & Catering Sales, and Nicole Zaluski, on-site Wedding Planner and Artist of our day.
Our Adirondack wedding was a destination wedding, so first we interfaced with Rosette, who showed us the Whiteface and helped us get our contract together, choose our food and nail down the overall timing and purchases. Rosette is elegant, wise, funny and calm…she helped us stay on task and followed up professionally when payments were due and as our day approached. Rosette’s calm competence and attention to detail made us feel well cared for, in supremely good hands, assured and relaxed and ready.
As our day approached Nicole became our front and center contact, as she is the artistry behind the entire day. Nicole interfaces with ALL vendors on the day of the wedding, so you don’t have to, and she handles every little personalized touch and detail with more precision and care than you can imagine.
I once came to visit Nicole before the wedding and she was personally re-vacuuming one of the private dining rooms for a rehearsal dinner she was curating because she wanted it “just so.” Nicole is an actual artist; if you tell her your ideas she will create something even more magical than you imagined…taking your idea and making it more ethereal, more artistic, more unique. Nicole made all our details come together in a fabric of beauty, warmth and welcome! I valued her and her curation SO SO MUCH.
If Nicole is the artist/wedding planner for your day, she has an astonishing canvas to work with: The Whiteface Lodge is one of the most stunning interiors/exteriors I have ever seen. Its honeyed Adirondack wood is inviting, its dimensions generous yet cozy, and it photographs extremely well, warm with great hues and tones. The setting of the property is singular and stunning, nestled in the Adirondacks, friend of wind and water. Our guests were over the moon with this venue; they still compliment us on finding such a gem for our wedding setting.
The food at the Whiteface is exemplary and surprising: Chef chose local seasonal vegetables and created food that was delicious and fresh, Michelin quality, including wines that were paired and appreciated. The servers are elegant and well-oiled, the entire day went better than we could have imagined. The Lodge setting felt casually elegant, not fussy, but deeply luxurious and cultured, a place to remember, a place to return to.
The Whiteface is a luxury venue, no doubt about it, but when the bill came in we were actually surprised at what an overall value it was. All the beauty, care and singular setting for a good price. You won’t regret choosing the Whiteface Lodge, and working with Rosette and Nicole. They will make you want to come back, again and again, to such a special place…as unique as Brigadoon!

Most beautiful wedding!
My wedding at the Whiteface Lodge was amazing! We had a couple bumps at the end, BUT the Lodge went above and beyond to correct any mistakes that were made, and my wedding turned out to be, I may be biased here, the best wedding ever! -

The perfect blend of rustic elegance!
I could not have envisioned my wedding more perfectly done than at the Whiteface Lodge! 1. the venue is absolutely gorgeous, 2. the service from Kelly the wedding Director to each bartender, valet staff, and receptionist was impeccable and so friendly, 3. Planning the event details was made very easy by Kelly's expertise and the venue amenities. Also the chef at the Whiteface Lodge is amazing and the food delicious! I've attended a lot of weddings with good caterers but this was a whole other level. My family and friends have continuously raved about this wedding which has made it even more special to my husband and I.
To help other brides and grooms out there, the reason we chose Whiteface Lodge is that I had wanted to get married at Lake Placid since I was a little (personal connection to the town) and we toured several venues in the area. WL stood out because it was an all in one experience with great choices for ceremony location, reception and dancing. They also only do one wedding a weekend which gives you a very personalized experience. Kelly is your wedding coordinator for the entirety of the planning process and has a great list of preferred vendors who all have experience with WL. We did not feel the need to look for any vendors outside of the list. When you step foot on the property you feel so relaxed and the staff genuinely acted so excited for us. Your guests get access to all the amenities the Lodge has to offer (spa, game room, outdoor recreation facilities). The Lodge is elegant and embodies the Adirondack style in a beautiful and authentic way. A few things to keep in mind: as part of the venue costs, you have to book all the rooms in the Lodge's second building where the reception/ballroom is located. This was not a problem for us as we had both immediate families and the entire wedding party housed there - which made it easy to get ready day off and keep everyone organized. The suites are massive and our friends were so excited to stay there. There is limited transportation options in Lake Placid but book Bob from Polar Express Transportation in advance, our guests raved about him.
There is so much more I could say (all good things) but I hope this review is helpful to future couples considering WL - We HIGHLY recommend it! -
