Our grand gazebo with panoramic views of Killington Mountain and the Green Mountains of Vermont is the perfect setting for your outdoor wedding ceremony. If the New England weather does not cooperate, our spacious living room can quickly be converted to accommodate your ceremony. Have your cocktail hour in our terrace and gazebo bar overlooking the salt water pool or in the living room with the comfort of the field-stone fireplace, next to O'Dwyer's Public House. Move into the Green Mountain room for an elegant reception. Choose from a variety of menus for your reception, starting with an extensive hors d’oeuvres selection for your cocktail hour and a variety of entree options for your main meal. We are happy to offer a sit-down meal, buffet, food stations, or even a poolside BBQ.
The weekend-long exclusive use model Summit Lodge offers was exactly what we were hoping to find. Add ample and comfortable on-site lodging, a stunningly beautiful setting, and amazing staff and it truly couldn’t be beat. Having the venue to ourselves gave us enormous leeway to add personal touches, and being able to get all the decorating and set up done days in advance of the wedding really helped us relax and enjoy the weekend with our guests. And there is so much to enjoy-pools and hot tub, lawn games, firepit, and tons to do in the surrounding area in any season. We heard from numerous guests that it was the best wedding they’ve been to, and people were already starting to plan return trips to stay at the lodge during ski season. Thank you Summit Lodge team for giving us the most amazing wedding weekend. We will treasure it always. Reviewed on 09-09-2023
Lauren Mrachko(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2022 When we booked the Summit Lodge for our wedding, we had no idea just how perfect it would be. Our top priority for our wedding was to have a venue where we could spend the whole weekend with our friends and family. The Summit provided this and more. Everything ran seamlessly, from our rehearsal dinner on Friday to the Sunday breakfast. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the place was and how kind and helpful the staff were. Emmett and Angie answered all of our questions every step of the way as we planned our wedding weekend. Once we arrived that weekend, they took over everything so we could be in the moment and enjoy. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our marriage with our friends and family. Reviewed on 19-11-2022
Carli Drexler(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 The Summit management and staff went above and beyond in service excellence for our wedding weekend! Starting with a pool side Welcome party, Saturday Ceremony, Cocktail Party & Reception our event went off seamlessly and perfect! Upon our arrival on Wednesday we we were welcomed with a relaxing evening by the fire in the family room. Throughout the weekend the arrival experience for our guest was attentive and friendly. Friday as we set up the room the Summit staff was there for suggestions and help but gave us the room for creativeness to set up our decorations. Emmitt and his staff worked closely with us on the planning, timelines and itinerary. His communications and organization gave us the ability to relax and enjoy our weekend! Throughout the weekend the food was incredible. We had a BBQ for our guest on Friday night, and our favorite foods throughout Cocktail Hour. The Summit delivered delicious quality food everyone was pleased with. We are so happy to have chosen The Summit for our Wedding! We felt like family the moment we walked in until the bittersweet departure. Reviewed on 18-10-2022
Kayla Grunn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2021 Summit Lodge could not have been more perfect for our wedding weekend (October 2nd, 2021). Having originally met on a ski club trip in Vermont, my now husband and I knew we wanted to be married around Killington. When we found Summit Lodge we knew it was just what we were looking for – a rustic charm, plenty of rooms for our guests, a large dining room, beautiful views, so many amenities and in our wedding budget. Summit is consistently making upgrades and improvements to the property while maintaining its charm. We loved that Summit is only open to the couple and their wedding guests beginning the Wednesday before the wedding. This allowed us so much time to set up and meet with the staff to work through all details and questions for the wedding day. The staff was beyond helpful from making sure we had drinks and food to helping us hang lights in the reception room. Even with a smaller than typical staff we would never have known, everything was seamless and professional. All of our guests loved having the hot tub, pool, sauna, piano, fire places and outdoor games to enjoy on the property. With rain in the forecast for the day of the wedding Emmett and Angie reassured us that there was a rain backup but not to worry. The staff waited to put our chairs out on the lawn but we were blessed to have only overcast skies with no rain by the time our ceremony began. The staff all communicated with each other so well and knew exactly where to be to make sure everything ran smooth. I cannot thank this entire staff enough for such an incredible wedding weekend. All of our family and friends had such a great time and couldn’t say enough good things about the staff. Emmett, Angie, Bri, Chuck, Dave, Anna, Brooke, Dana – thank you so much!! Highly recommend Summit Lodge whether it’s for a regular stay in Killington or for a special event! Reviewed on 25-10-2021
Dorisanne Ragon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-07-2021 I don't even know where to begin about the Summit Lodge. Emmett and his team made our wedding weekend (yes, \"weekend\" because you have the whole lodge to yourself all weekend!) absolutely incredible and we can't stop talking about it weeks later! If you're looking for a quintessential Vermont lodge with mountains in the background, greenery and flowers everywhere you look, and a beautiful indoor/outdoor reception filled with a wrap-around bar overlooking the deck and pool, yard games and Irish pub with pool table, this is the venue you need. From the very first visit to the day after our wedding, Emmett and his team were responsive, kind, go-with-the-flow, professional and made our dream wedding come true. The food was also absolutely delicious! Emmett said that we had the biggest wedding the Summit Lodge has seen to date (~190 guests) and we never would have known. His team served all of our needs without a hiccup and we're still getting texts/calls from guests saying how wonderful everyone was! The best part of the night was heading downstairs to O'Dwyer's Pub for the after party where we had late night snacks and shot-skis. Once everyone was over-tired and ready for bed, our guests had a short walk right upstairs to stay in their adorable rooms right there at the Summit Lodge.I could go on and on about this place but you'll have to see it for yourself because pictures do not do it justice! It was the best weekend of our lives and it was all thanks to the Summit Lodge! Reviewed on 22-07-2021

Anna White(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-07-2018 The months fly by after your married... My husband and I were married at The Summit in July , it was the perfect place for us. Our ideal wedding venue was somewhere that everyone could stay together and could feel at home. The Summit provided us with just that. Aside from the venue itself, which feels like it's tucked away in the mountains even though it has fast access to the main road, the lodge has cozy rooms, great yard games, pool, and outdoor area. This does not even touch the staff at the hotel who made our guests and us feel at home. Emmett and Jessica did nothing less than go above and beyond leading up to and on our big day. Planning a wedding can be so much and they just made everything feel effortless - as well as keeping our night flowing and without hiccup. They truly were so great to work with and genuine. All of our guests had nothing but good things to say about their stay, our night and we couldn't stop hearing about the breakfast included! (It was pretty delicious). I'm sure without this place and these people our big day would not have been as special or as memorable as it was. We can't recommend it enough. Thanks so much for everything! Love - The Whites!
