My now-husband and I had our December wedding reception at Bear Creek, and we are so thankful we did. The Bear Creek team cares about your wedding as much as the couple; they truly want you to have a perfect day. Planning can be stressful, but Bear Creek makes the process smooth and fun! They help guide you through details such as food, drinks, decor, and timelines. The service is incredible. Everyone we worked with is kind, professional, and supportive of your wedding. We are so thankful we booked with Bear Creek. They went above and beyond to make our wedding magical. Thank you, Bear Creek Team! Reviewed on 27-12-2023

My now husband and I visited a few venues before our visit to Bear Creek Mountain. From day one, no one came close to the exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and quickness in response as they did. We chose them instantly and do NOT regret it. The venue was perfect with its romantic decor and beautiful scenery. The staff was always friendly and attentive, and the FOOD... the food is out of this world. Our guests are still talking about it. We 100% recommend! Ask for Travis! He's the best. (They really all are but that was who worked with us and he is great) Reviewed on 09-12-2023

Travis and the team at Bear Creek were absolutely fantastic when it came to planning our wedding! They thought of everything, so many small details that I wouldn’t have thought of. They had worksheets for us to fill out so that we made sure everything was covered and thought through ahead of time so there wouldn’t be any surprises or anything missed.They were AMAZING at handling people's food allergies. I was very nervous about this as we had multiple people with severe food allergies including all of the most common ones (dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy) as well as some more random allergies, but the kitchen and staff handled this beautifully! Those with allergies were listed on our seating chart that we handed in ahead of time, and the kitchen prepared them separate meals to meet their dietary requirements as well as making them their own hors d'oeuvres when needed, and clearly labeling which hors d'oeuvres contained nuts. They set everything up for us perfectly, from the centerpiece and dinner tables to the guest book and remembrance tables. They coordinated with all of our vendors ahead of time so that they could receive all of the deliveries the day of instead of us needing to help with anything like flowers or cake delivery. After the reception, they also packaged everything up to hold behind the desk until we came to get it the next day. They honestly made the whole weekend run so smoothly and it was so convenient to have the whole weeknd at one location from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony and reception, the after party and all of the hotel rooms in one place.

Best. Wedding. Ever!! We had our wedding at Bear Creek and could not be any happier with our experience!! Our coordinator Lacey was amazing!! We had so many options of food and beverage packages to choose from and we got a lot for what we were paying for! Our guests keep telling us how much fun they had and how beautiful everything was!! The staff for the hotel and for our reception were over-the-top friendly and helpful and really strived to make sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it to be. They took their time to introduce themselves and let us know that they were here to assist us with anything that we needed. Our only regret is not booking a longer stay there so that we could experience more of what the hotel had to offer!! We could not have asked for more!!

Amazing Wedding Venue! From the beautiful grounds, the beautiful resort, fireplaces, decks with a view, pools, hot tubs, large suites, the restaurants/bars, etc. this place really has it all for you and your guests. You are going to be blown away! But what really separates this venue from the rest is the staff. From the front desk, to rooms coordinator, to servers, you name it they are some of the nicest, most polite, helpful people we have ever worked with. They really do seem to care about you and your experience and go above and beyond in so many ways to make it happen. Our guests cannot stop talking about how amazing they were! Lacey was our Wedding Coordinator who was so helpful at putting all the pieces together during the planning process.

We had the most PERFECT wedding day at Bear Creek in the Mountain Ballroom. Our wedding coordinator, Aimee, was absolutely fantastic, and we cannot express how amazing she was. From the planning process to the rehearsal dinner, and finally our wedding day, Aimee was a total rockstar making sure everything ran smoothly.On the wedding day, she made sure all of our vendors were coordinated with our schedule, and ensured we were on time. Aimee checked in with us the whole day to make sure we had everything we needed and provided help with anything. Aimee's organization and attention to detail allowed us to be fully present in our day and enjoy every second. Our hospitality staff all day was incredible and made sure our food and drink were stocked at all times. We even had a minor mishap with a missing flower girl basket, and Aimee and staff sprang into action so quickly to provide a basket for us, and eventually find ours just in time for the ceremony! Aimee made us feel so special our entire day. We cannot recommend Aimee and Bear Creek enough! If you're looking for your wedding venue, choose Bear Creek for a truly outstanding and magical wedding!

We cannot stress how grateful we are to Aimee! She made us feel comfortable with Bear Creek and met with us several times prior to the wedding. She was always quick to reply if we had a question or concern, and she was incredibly organized and detail oriented. She helped us refine our decisions and streamlined all the moving parts so that everything happened seamlessly according to plan. In the week leading up to the wedding, she was in touch with all of our vendors to make sure they all understood the day's schedule and requirements. In the days prior to the wedding, she deployed her amazing staff to make sure the banquet hall was set-up and ready according to our plan. She went above and beyond to ensure that the whole wedding party was taken care of and worked to ensure we (and the photographer and videographer) had access to any area of Bear Creek needed for magical imagery. She eliminated many of the headaches associated with the complex and interconnected parts of a wedding, so that we were able to relax and enjoy the day. She even had staff members bring us water bottles immediately after the reception ended, knowing that we would be dehydrated afterwards - little touches like that show they care and have the attention to detail you want. We cannot recommend Aimee enough! If you are considering Bear Creek as the place for your big day, you have our word that the Resort and Aimee will make sure it will be one of the best weddings your guests have ever seen, and that you will be taken care of at all times.

Jennifer Luczajko(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-10-2022 We had our reception in the Woodland Ballroom at Bear Creek in October 2022. We absolutely fell in love with the venue and our coordinator Aimee the first time we stepped foot in the venue. We had roughly 165 people which is almost the max for that particular ballroom, but the room did not feel overcrowded or stuffy at all. Ajmee was a pleasure to work with and was amazing every step of the way. If I needed to pick apart anything, there were a few things that didn’t necessarily go as planned. We had a bunch of refrigerated desserts brought in beforehand and they were supposed to be placed out during the reception, these desserts never made it out for the guests. We ended up donating them, but that was a lot of money lost unnecessarily. That was probably our biggest negative about the whole night, but I was in my glory and nothing could have ruined it for me. Also, we had an audio guest book which came with very specific instructions for set up, after the wedding we were contacted by the company who let us know that it was never even plugged in by the venue. Apparently it was just set on the table and never set up. So we didn’t get to collect the messages left for us by our guests. Again, not going to ruin my day, but not the best situation. Would 100% recommend Bear creek to anyone and everyone for their big day, just double check some of the little details beforehand. The staff was amazing and those small things wouldn’t deter my rating overall, but I am aware that these things could impact someone’s decision, so just a heads up that not everything will go 100000% as planned, but it won’t ruin the day.

Danielle France(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-10-2022 Bear creek mountain resort was the perfect venue from start to finish. Particularly Aimee, who was literally there from the first tour, until the party was fully rolling. She was an enormous help throughout the entire process and made the whole day stress free and exceeded all my expectations. The team set up and took down all my decor, made sure the bridal party was fed, we even had a steak dinner waiting for us in our hotel room at the end of the night! The way they transformed the space to match our vision was phenomenal. My only piece of advice would be to not allow any property maintenance to go on during the outside ceremony because there was a chainsaw going off I think cutting a tree during my ceremony and everyone could hear that…I was on cloud 9 and didn’t even notice until I watched videos back and my guests told me. Otherwise 100% positive experience with bear creek and totally recommend. They did a very nice job on our rehearsal dinner too.

Some of my requests were a bit of a stretch but she worked with me and her team and made everything happen for us! Every event, from the Welcome party to getting ready to the After Party and breakfast the next morning was perfect. Bear Creek assigned a team of angels to help me with anything I needed throughout the wedding, and we really appreciated the hors d'oeuvres they supplied after the ceremony before we went up to the cocktail hour. Our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces were beautiful and the team decorated perfectly. All of the food was delicious. The staff was SUPER helpful when we arrived with all of our stuff for the wedding and helped us to break it down and cart it to/from our car. The housekeeping staff freshened up our suite while we were at the wedding too so we didn't have to worry about cleaning up after the groomsmen got ready in there!

We had originally scheduled our reception in 2020, but COVID pushed us back a year to 2021. Even through the process of rescheduling, the staff at BC did everything they could to make the whole thing as stress free as possible. Lisa was our coordinator and was a true pleasure to work with but everyone on her team was amazing. Through all of our crazy ideas, Lisa never once said \"no\" and executed everything perfectly to our specifications, and was amazingly accommodating. We got plenty of compliments from our guests about how everyone single resort employee was kind and helpful. Plus having so many amenities in one place and not having to travel between the ceremony site, reception space and hotel made the whole day run smoothly and greatly reduced our anxiety getting our guests to where they needed to be on time.I have to issue one small warning...our wedding was Aug 2021. We chose the mountain resort because in the summer time, the mountain was so beautiful and green and quiet. However, we did find out a few months before our wedding that they were adding a new summer attraction: a giant water slide. We were assured it wouldn't effect our ceremony site. Not the case. Its completely visible from the Lodge ceremony site. We weren't happy about this but we were able to use another reception space's ceremony site which was ultimately a better location but we were terribly pleased about seeing the slide from the Lodge. Ultimately, we were still really happy with our event but thought it was worthy mentioning to anyone considering the Lodge in the summer time. You cannot hide the slide. But if you are considering a Spring, Fall or Winter wedding, I still highly recommend BC.In my opinion, you should really consider this venue for your wedding. And by the way, the pictures on their site don't really do it justice. Go see the place in person and you will be blown away by how truly beautiful the mountain is. Reviewed on 04-09-2021

We made the absolute best decision of our lives.Our wedding, during a pandemic, had been the absolute best day of my life and a lot of that is because of the amazing people at BCMR. My husband and I booked about 2 years in advance and during that time there had been a change in staffing so our wedding planner/event coordinator changed to Lisa. Lisa is absolutely incredible. We were obviously worried at first, because we loved working with Theresa, however there was truly no need to worry. Lisa went above and beyond for us constantly. Our planning process was quite stressful because of the pandemic. However, Lisa stayed in communication with us throughout the whole experience. Always updating us, offering suggestions, and doing everything she could on her end to help us have the best day. One of the many beautiful things about BCMR & Lisa is that you review EVERY DETAIL of your wedding ahead of time together and she reaches out to your vendors to make sure that everyone is on the same page. I am a very scheduled person, so having this made my experience so much nicer.Lisa made so many accommodations for us so that our wedding day was beautiful, simply enjoyable, and not stressful at all. She helped set up 11 Christmas trees for decorations, fielded my anxious phone calls when I was worried the state was shutting down, ran our rehearsal practice so that we all felt confident on the day of, made sure everything was perfect when we were getting ready the morning of the wedding, made sure I was able to get a picture with my husband on the ski lift, and so much more. Even when we thought it was going to be a wash out on our wedding day, Lisa already had thoughts about where she would have us take beautiful photos inside. She planned for everything.I often hear from other brides and grooms that they don’t get to enjoy their wedding day or even eat dinner. That was not our scenario. Because everything had been done ahead of time, we were truly able to enjoy every minute of our wedding day and we even got to enjoy our dinner- which was AMAZING- the food…is incredible. BCMR thinks of everything; At the end of our wedding night, there were two dinners waiting for us in our room.I also wanted to share that Laura from reservations was also AMAZING. We cannot say enough good things about her. Due to the pandemic, our invitations went out late, because we were waiting till the last minute given that everything was so unpredictable. She was so accommodating; she extended our block of rooms reservation deadline, offered early check in’s and late check out's for us, was so accommodating to the guests that needed to cancel or add a room last minute, and was always willing to send me updated room lists (so I could prepare welcome bags).It truly feels as though the staff at BCMR is one big family helping you to create and have the best wedding day.

BEAR CREEK IS THE PLACE TO HAVE YOUR WEDDING!When searching for a venue my husband & I wanted a place that screamed warm, you're home, comfort & love - my husband found it with ease. We toured a few venues, but once we walked into the lobby of BCMR we knew it was the place. Our first wedding coordinator was Theresa, who has since left, but was so helpful & welcoming. After she left we did get bounced around a little between coordinators, but LUCKILY ended up with Lisa. She is an angel in human form. Lisa was extremely apologetic for us getting \"tossed around\" but promised us a perfect night - and it was!Lisa & the team at BCMR dealt really well with our requests, our large families & multiple room requests/changes. Everyone at the ceremony/party seamlessly helped out , making the entire weekend flawless. They helped gather flowers, ceremony items & gifts - bringing them to our room & even gave us two meals for the next night, which was a LIFE SAVER as we were exhausted!Throughout the process we met with Lisa & had multiple calls & each time she was cool as a cucumber! Lisa is so organized, as is all the staff & has the ability to answer any questions quickly.During the wedding day, we had appetizers set aside for us/our families in a separate room, making it easy to eat before the actual party. The servers also came up to us during the party to confirm when we wanted dinner, what ice cream flavors we wanted & ALWAYS kept us \"hydrated\"! One major note: the food is delicious! At the tasting we realized the portions are extremely generous, well cooked & easily changed if needed for dietary restrictions! We were able to bring in Kosher meals & BCMR helped our gluten free guests!Dessert is on you to bring in, but that's no worry because once it's confirmed, BCMR handles it all! We decided on Penn State Creamery Ice Cream and Shady Mountain Market (Amish Desserts)- we had extra & they stored it for us, for an extra night & helped us pack it up as we left.BCMR is set on beautiful grounds and is a great price for all the amazing service you get.

Caitlin McGivern(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-10-2019 My husband and I had our wedding at Bear Creek, and it was truly magical. Our wedding coordinator was Lisa, and she went above and beyond for us. Between Lisa, the reservation staff, and the waiters and bartenders, we truly could not have asked for a better experience. The venue takes care of gathering all of your belongings and flowers and stores them away for you to pick up the next morning.

Cindy Spitko(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-08-2019 Bear Creek was incredible. Theresa was initially our coordinator and when she emailed me that she left I was initially very nervous. But Corinne and Kim were just amazing. They were so supportive and handled my family and friends so well. My husband and I had the best time and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Sometimes communication wasn't the best between the front desk crew, but everyone was so nice it didn't matter. That's literally my only complaint about this place. It's beautiful, independently owned, well priced, and they hooked us up with an incredible wedding. I'll never ever forget it. Reviewed on 04-09-2019
Katie Knarr(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-07-2019 Bear Creek was beyond amazing for us. You are assigned a wedding planner when you tour the facilities and she becomes your helper and guide throughout the whole process (Thank you Lisa!). From the very beginning everyone at Bear Creek was very professional and helpful, but during the wedding everyone came together to help. Even the servers were there to help me and my husband at every step. The head servers introduced themselves to us and checked in on us during the reception often. Even when we were getting pictures taken on the grounds, one of the young men who worked at Bear Creek drove us around in a van with a beer and wine with appetizers for us. At every stop, he grabbed our drinks and let us go. So yes, the service is wonderful.And the actual grounds and atmosphere was perfect. Even though it is a ski lodge, it was beautiful in the summer. The landscapers use beautiful flowers and cover up as much of the ski equipment as they can to make the area be as romantic as possible. I received so many compliments about how beautiful everything was...and we honestly didn't add too much! The grounds are just that beautiful! And just some advice, look at the Lodge first. Those fireplaces are so wonderful.Going with Bear Creek was the best wedding decision my husband and me made. Easily. Reviewed on 29-07-2019
Jacquelyn Smith(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-07-2019 The wedding itself was handled wonderfully, however, the room block which was set up had many issues. We had some guests which were told that a room block was never set up, we were assured that early check in would be available for those coming in for the rehearsal and only 1 room was ready (the others weren't even ready at the normal check in time), and one of our guests had to wait to get into their room until 5:30pm (check in is 3pm).

Brittany G(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-04-2019 I found out about Bear Creek at my first ever bridal show and instantly fell in love through their brochure! My (now) husband and I booked a meeting right away with Lisa to get a feel for the venue. The moment we stepped onto the resort, we knew it was where we would get married. Lisa was very professional and guided us along the whole resort giving us pictures and tips on how it would look during our wedding time. I have to be honest, this was our first venue tour so we felt like we would be regretful if we didn't at least look at two more \"mountain\" venues. So we did and found ourselves wanting in the venues everything that Bear Creek already had to offer. A hotel and wedding reception in one! You cannot beat that! So we immediately booked Bear Creek and are eternally grateful for all the staff's hard work to make our wedding so beautiful! And I never once felt stressed about my wedding planning because I knew I had Lisa to answer all my questions! We cannot thank Lisa enough for everything she did for us!! Reviewed on 15-06-2019

Gabrielle Burke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-08-2018 Choosing Bear Creek was the best decision we could have made for our wedding (we planned our wedding from Chicago IL)! I recommend taking advantage of the buffet breakfast the morning after your wedding (guests can pay on their own, come and go as they please but BC can reserve a private space for your group). If you do a rehearsal dinner there, I'd ask for private space (we sat in the open dining area at the Grille, but would have liked a more private/blocked off space). We used the Grille bar for a pre-wedding day happy hour and after party for the wedding - so convenient! The BC staff took carts full of our decor, and did an amazing job staging the room - they even took the flowers from our ceremony setup and reset them at our sweetheart table. We worked with Theresa and she was a dream - I've heard great things about the other coordinators too! Our guests loved the food and had no problem getting apps and drinks all night. You'll have a staff leader assigned to check in with you all night, there was never a moment we didn't have drinks in our hands! We would recommend anyone to host their special day at Bear Creek!

Megan O’Neill(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-11-2018 Using Bear Creek as my wedding venue was the BEST decision I have ever made. The food was delicious, and the staff made sure I enjoyed my day without any stress! Theresa was the wedding coordinator I was working with, and she was absolutely fabulous. Several things went wrong, but she handled them all as smooth as possible. Unfortunately something from our wedding ceremony was stolen, just moments before the ceremony, and Theresa went out of her way to try to replace the items that were stolen and even searched the camera to figure out how it happened. Due to the time restraint we were not able to find the missing items, but I am so happy everything possible was done to help the situation. My husband and I really wanted a destination wedding, but that is a lot to ask for from wedding guests, so Bear Creek was an absolute perfect “destination wedding” without the crazy costs associated with destination weddings. We received so many compliments on our venue, and the day was SO stress free! Reviewed on 28-11-2018

From the moment we started looking at wedding venues, we knew we wanted to get married there for the sheer look of the venue and it going perfectly with our rustic fall wedding. After touring there and meeting our wedding coordinator Lisa Geiger, we could not wait for the next 2 years to go by! Lisa emailed me daily to see if I needed help with anything, responded immediately to any emails I sent and made sure that the planning process was as stress free as possible. The week of the wedding, Lisa reached out to all of my vendors to make sure they knew the layout of the main events during the reception and knew where they would need to setup. Something I am very thankful she did because I never would have thought to do that with all of the other craziness going on. I put my full trust in the staff when it came to our decorations. I told them what we provided and that was it. My husband and I did a first look of the reception space when first arriving to Bear. The staff exceeded our expectations and the decorations were perfect! Even better than if I would have done them myself. Our centerpieces included flameless candles which required batteries, one of the candles had died before the reception even started and the staff without even letting us know, got a new battery and made sure the candle started working again. The bridal party and our parents were treated like royalty that night. We had servers by our sides the entire time making sure our glasses were never empty, we had plenty of food and were enjoying ourselves. Anything we requested, we had right away. My husband had a great idea for our entrance into the reception which involved a rope, we asked one of the servers and without questioning why we would possible need a rope, she asked how long of a rope we needed. We got our rope! At the end of the night, the servers began packing up leftovers, decorations, gifts, etc. and loaded everything in my parents' car to take home. We had absolutely nothing to clean up before we went to the downstairs bar and continued the party. When my husband and I finally went up to our room which was provided by Bear Creek for hosting our wedding there, there were leftovers in the fridge, cake on the table and the bedroom was decorated beautifully. I have never been more confident in a decision I've made than my decision to have our wedding at Bear Creek.

Tarah Isabella(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2015 Bear Creek did an absolutely fantastic job with our September 5th wedding. My fiance and I not only meet at Bear Creek almost 10 years ago, but were also engaged there. Lisa Geiger (our event coordinator) was amazing from start to finish. She helped us with every step of the decision making process and was also available to answer any questions we had. The tasting that was provided by Bear Creek was awesome. I was like being at someone reception. They provided tastings (large servings) of so many options that we were stuffed when we left. They had centerpieces and cakes from different vendors, and the staff was so helpful. On our wedding day, everything was so smooth. The staff took care of everything and made sure that nothing was misplaced. They even followed my fiance and I up to a chair lift with drinks during photos. The ceremony and reception spaces were beautiful and we had so many comments from our guests. Overall, it was the best experience and I would highly recommend Bear Creek. Reviewed on 21-09-2015

Emily Ritter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2014 My husband and I got married on June 14, 2014 at Bear Creek and we could not have asked for a more perfect day. From the first visit we made to Bear Creek, we knew it was the best decision for our special day. The landscape was so picturesque, Therese Labour (our wedding coordinator) was so kind and helpful and all of the staff we met was very friendly. Planning a wedding from 8 hours away, let alone another country (Canada) is not easy but Therese and her team made it easy. She was very responsive via email and worked with us to coordinate visits around our scheduled trips to Pennsylvania.\r\rStarting with rehearsal the night before, Therese lead us and our officiant (whose first time it was doing a wedding) through the motions. She's clearly done this a few times before. She put us all at ease and worked well with our group, having fun along the way. On the day of the wedding, the entire staff was so helpful in allowing my husband and I to be able to sit back and enjoy the day. We were not stressed, maybe some excited nerves, but definitely not stress. I had handed all of our things off to Therese and her staff and they took to setting it up and handling the coordinating of vendor arrivals and set up. I was able to spend the morning with my bridesmaids, getting our hair done and just enjoying the moment. Our ceremony went off without a hitch (minus my veil trying to fly away!) and our guests all enjoyed the festivities. The food was spectacular and the banquet staff provided wonderful service. Like most couples, we didn't get a chance to eat much, but the staff was kind enough to pack up the 2 extra meals we had due to a last-minute cancellation. They even packed up some extra crab cakes at my husband's request! Which we thoroughly enjoyed the next evening! We had planned a little \"after-party\" When the food we had ordered for our \"after party\" went quickly, the staff was kind enough to bring out chips and pretzels to keep our guests fed! They really paid attention to the little details throughout the day. \r\rThe majority of our guests were staying at the resort for the weekend and from check in to check out, they were very well taken care of. We heard numerous guests say how lovely the hotel was, how good the food was and how courteous the staff was.\r\rIf you're looking for a beautiful location, spectacular food, and wonderful staff to work with, Bear Creek is definitely a great choice for you!

Erin was our coordinator. She took care of us from beginning to end and made our day as stress-free as possible. No matter how busy, Erin was always responsive to our calls, emails and unusual requests. It is clear from the first visit how experienced Bear Creek is at hosting weddings, and that shows in every encounter. It was the perfect venue for us - allowing us to have our ceremony and reception in one location, while providing a great location for our out-of-town guests to come together. Reviewed on 11-02-2014

Kristen Burke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2013 When we first started our venue search, we both chose to go to Bear Creek first. We spend a lot of time snow boarding and just enjoying the atmosphere in the winter. We arrived for our venue tour, and was greeted by Therese, one of the wedding sales managers. She was awesome! long story short.. there was no need to even think about looking at other venues. We booked it the next day. Over months of planning, Therese was there to answer any questions along the way. Our wedding day finally came. A beautiful September day.The staff at Bear Creek was AMAZING.
