This place was great! Andrea was extremely helpful and reliable during the planning process. The crew working during the day were also very helpful. The view is beautiful and pictures don’t do it justice. If you’re looking for a venue that you can control decorations, food, DJ this is the place to choose. Reviewed on 29-10-2023

Andrea is phenomenal. I cannot say enough about this venue and the staff that work here. We were initially drawn to it because of the stunning space, reasonable prices, and ability to bring in all our own food, décor, and dessert. The staff ended up going above and beyond our expectations. I had SO many questions for Andrea leading up to the day and her timeliness in responding to every single one of them via email was truly impressive. Each and every one of the staff members that work here are just genuinely kind people - from the ski lift attendants to the bartenders (Brittany and McKayla) to the gentlemen setting up the space the morning of. Everyone was so accommodating and made our day that much more special. We ended up utilizing the ski lift for our grand entrance into the reception. It was an absolute blast and our guests were raving about how unique and fun of an idea it was. We were even able to enjoy some snacks and champagne on top of the mountain that the staff had gotten ready for us earlier. Everything was beautiful and the day went off without a hitch thanks to the care and commitment of everyone at Mount Southington.[Photography by Addie Eshelman] Reviewed on 26-10-2023

Amazing staff! Andrea was very responsive throughout our wedding planning process. We visited the venue twice before our actual wedding date. I was very clear about my expectations and all were fulfilled. Staff were very handy. We had to call whether the ceremony would be inside or outside during incoming inclement weather. Once I let them know if would be outside, they immediately got to work setting up ceremony chairs. Also everyone loved the drinks from the bar! Reviewed on 13-09-2023

My husband and I got married at The Mountain Room at Mount Southington and we were blown away! The staff from the moment we contacted them (Andrea & Jay), until the last minute of our wedding (Staff, Bartenders, etc.) were amazing! I have been to many weddings and seen the back end of many from working them also and the communication and efficiency they provided us made our wedding run smooth! The morning of our wedding it was supposed to rain so we were unsure what our plan was (inside OR out) to decorate accordingly. We waited until the last moment to decide and the staff took it upon themselves to hang the flowers that were needed, wipe down the chair lift, and get my husband and I to the top of the mountain all within a few minutes of guests arriving. Our guests were blown away with the venue and how beautiful it looked both inside and out (clean and maintained). My biggest thing was to have organization both from the venue and my other vendors on my wedding day and they all did just that! I was beyond happy with the turnout that Mount Southington provided my family that we called back a week later to book our daughters 1st birthday in the same room we got married in!!! I HIGHLY recommend this venue for any event you plan to book, especially weddings!!! Reviewed on 20-10-2022
