We definitely would recommend MVG as a wedding venue. The hotel has charm and beautiful spots for photos. It is surrounded by the presidential mountains and has unlimited Mountain View’s. Our coordinator Alexis Packard was simply amazing. From calming my nerves, to answering all of my questions, to periodically checking in prior to our wedding via email and in person on the day of, to finding baskets/ plates to display items at the wedding, to keeping the wedding party in line, to placing bridal party flowers in vases in each window overlooking the mountains behind the head table, taking care of anything I needed day of, etc. everything was fabulous. There was a slight mix up with the frosting on our cake, but if that’s our only qualm, we are okay with that! We highly recommend the MVG and more specifically Alexis Packard. I truly don’t think our day would have been the same without her!

The venue itself is gorgeous and the other patrons at the hotel were so sweet to us! But the thing that I was most pleased with is how accommodating they all were. I was fretting about having the ceremony inside or out because of weather. Alexis, the wedding planner assigned to our party calmly told me I had until 3 hours before the ceremony to make a decision. That made all of the difference in the world. Our day was perfect.

From the moment we visited the Mountainview Grand we knew it would have to be our venue, we just didn’t know at the time how simple they would make the experience. From the tour, to the tasting, to the last minute detail meeting, we were relaxed and excited because the entire staff made it so. Special shout out to Alexis, she helped make our perfect day possible right to the end!

Even when I was just on research mode, Mountain View Grand has always been so informative and so cordial answering so many of my questions. Our wedding party was small - literally just our immediate family, but the intimacy of it, having the White Mountains and being surrounded by the classy feel of the resort made it feel so grand! Everyone had the best time staying over at the resort. There were so many activities to choose from: ax throwing, golf, nightly smores around a campfire, live piano playing at the lobby each night and so much more! Our guests were received very well from beginning to end. When I ordered our cake, I thought it was just going to be a simple white cake with some fondant - but wow! I was surprised that Chef Sabrina (?) handcrafted this 3-tier cake with handpainted rose design and a golden airbrushed base layer. To add, it was also delicious! The berries that they used were fresh from the farm. The food was also excellent - prepare to spend $40-50 pe... Read morer head for your guests. It wasn't cheap but the food was worth it! They can also work with you when building your menu options. I can't rave enough about our positive experience at the Mountain View! Their director of sales, Courtney, has been such a wonderful guide to us in creating a stress-free wedding. She is so organized, responsive and will make sure you have the best wedding day. Thank you Mountain View Grand for your hospitality! Hanah & Andrew

The hotel and the staff were outstanding for our December 2017 wedding. Our wedding coordinator Chastity Marrier was truly exceptional. She handled every detail with professionalism and went over and above accommodating last minute changes and unique requests. Thanks to her the event was beautiful, fun and stayed on time without feeling rushed. Another vendor we used had this to say about Chastity: "I've done lots of events at this hotel and she is by far the best wedding coordinator I've dealt with there." I agree! I am so glad we chose the Mountain View Grand for our wedding and I'd definitely hold another function there if the occasion arose.

Our wedding planner, Errin, provided us with exceptional service and did an outstanding job. She kept us on target throughout the entire process from the very beginning. You always hope and pray that everything will fall into place and that your guests will have a good time. Our guests raved about how good the food was including the cake that Sabrina created. The wait staff were awesome! I would recommend the Mountain View Grand to anyone looking for a place to hold a wedding or any other type of party. We had our rehearsal dinner their the night before our wedding and the food and service was great. We had so much fun that we made reservations for the wine cellar that same weekend and was surprised to find that each location had their own menu choices. Overall, the entire weekend was so successful and so much like a fairytale. Tom Covell and Gloria Brisson-Covell

Our small wedding at the MVG was absolutely breath taking. The views are the reason we traveled the three hours there, but the staff is what made our day perfect. We opted for a small 30 person wedding, and the staff was extremely attentive, while letting us do our own thing and go at our own pace. There was a change in staff from when I booked our wedding to the day of, but communication was completely open and constantly maintained. Managing everything out of state was stress-free thanks to the MVG staff. I wouldn't change a thing.

We booked the Mountain View Grand a week after getting engaged. It is a beautiful, well-maintained vintage hotel with impeccable service and facilities. Although it was a bit of a drive for some of our friends and family, it was well worth the trip for our guests. Rachel Manners and her event staff are incredible to work with. Rachel went out of her way to make sure that all of our needs were met within our budget. Our wedding was a fairytale come true; we couldn't have been happier.

Not entirely thrilled with the wedding planning process. Had many challenges with communication, however the overall experience was good. Beautiful venue, we loved that everything was in one location it made for a great weekend of activities. Many fun things for the guests to partake in. The staff is very friendly as well.

I have stayed at least 6 or so times at the Mountain View when we booked our wedding here. We absolutely loved it. The views were great, activities were fun! The hotel has such a beautiful charm in its age The staff was great! Until the night of our wedding. I write this in hopes that it prevents other brides from being as poorly treated on the night of their special day as I was. It’s a beautiful hotel but not worth the large amounts of money you’ll spend on this wedding to be treated the way they’ll treat you. The Spa was also awful for makeup. They charged each bridesmaid and myself $220 for hair that fell out at the ceremony and makeup that was so caked on we all looked milk white in pictures. We enjoyed every stay so much ... But this experience made me feel so bad, and still does to this day that I still don’t want to go back. Members of their higher staff were so degrading and rude to us. It saddens me, I loved it so much. There’s pla... Read moreces with views just as good that will treat you the way you should be treated during your stay! ❤️ This day should be your happiest! Not end in tears.

We got married this September 29th, 2018 at The Mountain View Grand it’s a stunning venue for wedding. Our wedding coordinator Alexis Packard she didn’t help at all with our planning process. She wasn’t attentive to our needs, and hardly returned telephone calls or emails. If you planning to get married at Mountain View grand for your own save ask for another coordinator. She’s never there. Ceremony was at overlook lawn which is public road, and they can’t stop traffic for too long. So as a bride I was on hurry on my wedding day. They still have part of my wedding decor, after 2 months I’m still waiting for they to send it back. ( my wedding charger plates and others..)

I will start by saying.. this venue is absolutely stunning. When my husband and I first toured it, we instantly fell in love. It has old charm but is beautifully updated to include anything you'd need for a luxury getaway. At the start of our planning we were assigned a woman to work with who at first meeting everything was great, but very quickly we began to run into issues. Communication was less than good, we had to go back and forth with contracts several times (due to incorrect dates, numbers, etc). I could go on and on. At one point my husband and I were unsure if it would all be worth it knowing this is what we may be up against. We ended up signing the contract roughly 10 months before our wedding. The next few months went by with the same treatment, poor communication, limited direction. It got to the point where I started CC'ing the woman's direct supervisor on our emails, thinking maybe this would help keep things on track, it didn't help. I recently found out she no lon... Read moreger works at Mountain View Grand. I will admit, I never blatantly raised this concern to anyone there while it was happening, that is my fault. Thankfully about halfway through the process we were introduced to Alexis Packard who took over our event. She was excellent!!! She was prompt with answering all of my questions and gave me her honest opinion when I asked for it. If she didn't have the answer for me then, she'd tell me she would get back to me ASAP, which she ALWAYS did. It was a godsend. It turned my experience right around (for the better). At the time that Alexis came into our planning I was honestly fearful of how everything would turn out and very stressed. Our wedding day ended up being amazing. Alexis followed through on everything we had discussed, remembering all the details I had wanted, and was even accommodating a few last minute requests I had on the day of our wedding. Our guests LOVED the venue and many of them said they would definitely be returning for a weekend getaway. I know my husband and I would love to return for our anniversary. All in all, we LOVED our venue. I'll admit, I was nervous at first, but all of it was worth it. One suggestion I would have.. For higher management to check in with the couples at least once during the process. I see that the managing director has been responding to reviews, your name was on our contracts but I don't ever remember meeting you or ever speaking to you. Getting a chance to speak briefly may have remedied the situation a lot sooner in the process. I know you will be in good hands with Alexis and the venue space, well, it's gorgeous.

My husband and I got married on valentine's- 02/14/18 which was also MVG first valentine's wedding! Even though we are an untraditional couple (Wednesday wedding), MVG was so accommodating and made us feel very special. Chastity whom was our wedding planner following up to the wedding, was very dedicated to making us feel less stressed and spoiled to say the least. The chef made my mother in law vegan foods, and the pastry chef made her vegan cupcakes! The only complaint I would have is about the bartender working the night of my wedding- we had brought back a late night snack from the building over and she had given us a difficult time transporting and eating from one building to the other because of 'cross contamination'. But Chastity took care of it!! My husband and I will definitely be back for our one year anniversary!!

We hosted out daughter's wedding on 7/8/17 with the ceremony at the gazebo and reception in the Presidential Ballroom. The views are spectacular and the hotel is beautiful. We dealt with 3 wedding planners over the course of 15 months. All were friendly and they did try to resolve our issues prior to the wedding. They accommodated a 20 min. rain delay for ceremony because of heavy rain. This allowed for the outdoor ceremony our daughter wanted-again, getting married at this location allows for spectacular views of the Presidential Mt. Range. The ballroom is beautiful. My 3 star rating is due to the lack of one person coordinating both the ceremony and more importantly, the reception. To me, the most important piece was the reception. I believe that the Mt. View relies on the scenic vista views and beauty of the hotel and grounds, and therefore, thinks that they can offer 2nd hand service regarding the ceremony/reception. The reception was extremely disorganized. No one seemed to be in ... Read morecharge of the flow and coordination of the event. Someone was in charge of the waitstaff. What they need is a personal maitre d' to oversee the whole event. The bride/groom had to get their own drinks or rely on a guest. Same is true for our table. As hosts of the wedding, someone, other than the waitress, should have been communicating with us throughout the evening. The food was ok, Beef portion smaller than presented at the tasting, but certainly fine Although our guests said everything was lovely, I was so sad to hear from immediate family afterwards that some of the dinners were cold; no butter at 1 table even though server was made aware. We paid 4/piece for maple candy favors only to learn waitstaff had cleared many of them off tables while people were up dancing, leaving us to find them the next morning. They don't host a 5 star event; they do offer a 5 star view. I believe a full time personal coordinator for the whole event would solve these issues.
