Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa Reviews
Autumn Smith(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-05-2018 Mountain Harbor was a beautiful place to have our wedding. Ashley, the event coordinator, was amazing and worked with us to ensure our day was perfect! The venue was very laid-back and made life stress-free up to the day of the wedding. We did have some snafus with the table and chair set-up during the rehearsal and the wedding day, but I think this would have been remedied by hiring the day-of coordinator. Once they were made aware of the problem, they worked to fix it and accommodate our needs as fast as possible! Our friends and family loved the resort, and everyone raved about the location! I highly recommend the East Cove Pavillion and Conference Center! Reviewed on 20-06-2018
Rosa Garcia(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2018 This venue was breathtaking and everything I always pictured! It was the East Cove Pavilion, which is surrounded by the beautiful Lake Ouachita. The set up was seamless, and the views were amazing during the day and night. Would recommend it 10/10!!!

B F(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-03-2014 My MOH booked a beautiful cabin at Mountain Harbor Resort for my bachelorette weekend. We had three bedrooms and a loft with plenty of extra room to fit more than the nine ladies staying there that weekend. The kitchen was spacious with everything we needed to prepare our own meals. We enjoyed having two fireplaces to use (for ambiance...and of course s'mores), and the staff was very quick to get us more wood as soon as we requested it. We stayed right across the bay from the spa and were able to walk there for our day of pampering. Every need we had was met by the staff and it couldn't have been a better experience. I look forward to visiting again! Reviewed on 07-03-2014
Nichola Williams(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2013 The staff at Mountain Harbor was absolutely amazing! They did everything within their power to help us decorate and set-up for the reception and ceremony, as well as accommodate all of our 100+ guests in their lodging. Adriane, the wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and appreciated. They were also very flexible, letting us set up days before so that we weren't too stressed out on the big day. Most other venues were extremely strict on the number of hours we could have to set up and how long we could stay at the reception. Not this place! We partied well into the night. They also had tables, chairs, dishes, silverware, plates, etc. that we could use. But you may want to bring in chairs from another vendor because these are the metal ones. Our ceremony was right on the water near the pavilion on a cool September day. The view and atmosphere under the trees made it so romantic and spiritual. I could not have asked for a better day!

Crystal Utley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2013 This is such a special place. We had our wedding on the point on the lake near the East Cove Pavilion with the reception in the Pavilion. They provide tables, certain chairs, and table clothes. Adriane, the event coordinator, is awesome, and all of our guests seem to really enjoy it. The only negative side was the spa didn't warn me that the treatment I planned to have could likely cause me to break out (changed it!) and the restaurant in the lodge (for non-wedding meals) is slow unless you eat the buffet. We also used the East Cove Conf. Center for the rehearsal dinner which was perfect. Lastly, the outside venue was incredibly pretty and pleasant, and it cost a tenth of other venues.

amber worley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-08-2013 Mountain Harbor went above and beyond on making our special day perfect! The event coordinator, Adriane, is spectacular at her job!! She called and text throughout the week to see if there was anything we needed help with. When we did need help, she was by my side within a few short minutes handling the situation. All of the staff at Mountain Harbor were friendly and eager to help in any way. I could not have picked a more beautiful sight for our wedding!! Everything was perfect from the lodging, the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, and the reception. Ladies, if you have not check out Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa, do yourself a favor and CHECK them out!! They are a one stop shop for your wedding! They have lodging, catering, ceremony venue, and reception venue options. Mountain Harbor will always have a special place in my heart for making the biggest day of my life beyond anything I would have dreamed of! Reviewed on 02-09-2013
Melissa Nichols(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-01-2011 The venue was beautiful. Scenic, natural. The staff could not have been more helpful. Set up and Clean up were effortless.

Shelly Gunn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2010 EXCELLENT value. Amazing staff. Natural and beautiful. Exactly what we wanted: peaceful, gorgeous, fun (not over-the-top and stuffy). Wedding venue was perfect and the cabins/condos for the wedding party/family were amazing. My family CAN'T stop talking about how PERFECT everything was. Reviewed on 06-10-2010
