“You guys were the best! Thanks for everything!”
-Ben Guilmette

“We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day 🥰”
-Braelin Guilmette

“I can’t believe it’s been just over 2 weeks since we got married! We just came home last night from our honeymoon and still talk about how magical the day was. 

I wanted to thank you for all of your help and effort to make our day so special. It was truly magical and I wouldn’t change anything! 

I do want to apologize for being so emotional at the end of the evening as we were leaving. The espresso martinis were flowing (and the best I’ve ever had if I do say so myself), and I felt bad for becoming so emotional. I appreciate you very much and I meant what I said when I was expressing how much this all meant to me (us). It really was my dream wedding. 

We can’t wait to visit Bolton in the future!”
-Jessica

“Heather, we had such a wonderful time this weekend, thank you for helping us create our perfect special day. We left a little something extra at the front desk upon checkout Monday morning and asked that it be shared amongst the house staff/wedding staff, we hope that’s okay.

Cannot recommend you, your staff, and the resort enough.

Thanks again!”
-Moe and Emily

“Michelle, we are still over the moon thinking about last weekend! Thank you so much for all of your guidance, expertise, attention to detail, and professionalism. You made it easy for us to fully experience and enjoy the whole day, and definitely helped put our wedding jitters to ease leading up to it. Our families both commented on how great you were as well!

We really appreciate all your communication, and your flexibility and recommendations around the weather. Still can’t believe how lucky we were with the timing. Big thanks to the staff for helping clean up and consolidate everything after the event, they made it very easy for us to grab it all the following morning – again we were impressed with how well it had all been organized and packed away!”
-Dylan

“Our daughter had her wedding at The Ponds on August 24, 2024 located at the Bolton Valley Resort. Heather was our wedding coordinator and did fantastic job with gathering details, keeping us on task, working with our vendors (photographer, band, shuttle) and overall communication. The wedding day was pretty much seamless thanks to Heather! The Ponds venue was spectacular. Our ceremony was held outside where the view was fabulous and the layout in the reception area was spacious with natural beauty. The staff were friendly, the food was great and the cleanup the next morning was simple as everything was consolidated into one area. Overall, we would recommend The Ponds located at Bolton Valley Resort.
Thanks again for everything.”
– Jeff and Cathy

“Thank you for helping us host a wonderful wedding for Grace and Jake. It was an amazing day. Again, thank you so much for all you did to make this event a success”
– Ann

“The Ponds is absolutely the most PERFECT wedding venue. It was everything my husband and I wanted – on a mountain, a woodsy vibe, and a lovely view. Heather, the wedding coordinator of the venue, was absolutely fabulous and walked us through everything. She was on top of every single question we could have had and communicated with us in a timely manner.We did all of our food and drink through the venue too as well as our Rehearsal Dinner and Recovery Brunch. The food was fantastic, the bar staff was friendly, and everyone was well taken care of for the entire weekend.
Our wedding was on July 13, 2024. 48 hours before, the access road to Bolton Valley had literally been washed away due to the floods in Vermont. Heather communicated with us what was going on and was very honest about the state of the road. She, the whole Bolton Valley team, and the Vermont construction workers worked through the night to ensure that the road was open for our wedding that Saturday. And it was!
The Bolton Valley and The Ponds team truly went above and beyond to make our day happen and special. They had gone, in the rain, to take care of a culvert to ensure that the venue wouldn’t flood out and would be dry for our wedding. The sun shone and everything was absolutely perfect. I wouldn’t have gotten married anywhere else. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who is a mountain lover and wants a lovely VT wedding. This is the perfect spot for it!”
– Margie

“We would all like to thank you for helping us have a most spectacular wedding day!!! Please tell your staff we appreciated all that was done for us. The food was particularly delicious. Many guests commented on how yummy their dinners were…YAY CHEF!
Though you took care of many details….the weather was just incredible LUCK. The wonderful upgrades down by the pond and ceremony made it picture perfect.
Again, we appreciated all you coordinated for our FABULOUS event : )”
-Beth

“We hosted our entire wedding weekend at Bolton Valley, including the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and farewell brunch at The Inn at Bolton Valley, and the ceremony and reception at The Ponds. At each event, the team went above and beyond to create an atmosphere that felt simultaneously very classy, and very Vermont. Working with Bolton meant that we could personalize the events to align exactly with our vision, all of our questions/concerns were handled up front, and our needs were completely anticipated by the team – which allowed us to actually sit back and enjoy our wedding weekend stress-free! It was evident that Heather and her team are working hard to make sure Bolton is the premier wedding venue in Vermont, and they delivered on or exceeded our every expectation.

We had the pleasure of working with Heather Frazee as our onsite coordinator. Throughout the pre-wedding planning, Heather brought a wealth of expertise to the table that helped keep us on track with our budget and goals; her advice in managing vendors was a big help as well. She was up front about costs and which ones may or may not be worthwhile. We appreciated that she never tried to upsell us, respecting our budget while allowing us to customize certain aspects, like the catering menu or bar package, to put money towards what we wanted most. In the months prior, she dutifully answered every one of our many questions via phone and email, and gave us peace of mind during what could otherwise have been a busy and stressful process. Going through wedding planning for the first time, we found her expertise and advice to be priceless. Having Heather there to coordinate the Bolton team and all of our vendors in the months leading up to and the weekend-of made having a wedding planner unnecessary.

Bolton catered every event (rehearsal dinner, appetizers at the welcome drinks, the wedding, and the farewell brunch). We were expecting good food, but the passed hors d’oeuvres and meals served at our wedding wouldn’t have been out of place at any of the finest restaurants in the state. From the effusive feedback we have gotten from our guests, they agreed too. Bolton took care of the tables, linens, flatware, glassware, and seating which was one less thing for us to plan. The Village Cafe was perfect for our rehearsal dinner and welcome reception with beautiful natural light, plenty of space, and a deck area on which to get some fresh air. The staff ensured the evening ran smoothly, even allowing us to hook up our own music. The team kept the appetizers coming and the bartenders were excellent, even with our large welcome party of nearly 80 people. The Ponds was absolutely stunning for the ceremony and reception, with plenty of outdoor space (the staff even set up cornhole for our guests during the cocktail hour) and a beautiful reception hall that allows guests to filter in and out of the building onto a large deck. Heather was very attentive to our vision, helping create a “memory table” with pictures of family weddings; coordinated with our vendors to set up a photo booth and area for a string trio to play; and helped to arrange our favors, table numbers/seating chart, guest book, etc. We also had access to The Ponds for the rehearsal and to set up decorations the night before the wedding.

The hotel and hotel staff were phenomenal as well. Chelsea Hunter facilitated our guests’ 44 room bookings and kept us updated in the months prior with regular email updates so we knew who had and had not booked yet. The rooms are clean and comfortable and many have balconies on which guests get a beautiful view of the mountain. The front desk staff helped to distribute the welcome bags we had made to each guest at check-in. We also booked the Evangeline suite for bridal hair and makeup and it was an excellent space for hosting throughout the weekend.

All of this to say we cannot recommend Bolton Valley highly enough, and that is in large part thanks to Heather Frazee, who was reliable, supportive, and a true pleasure to work with over many months of planning. We are so grateful to have had Heather and the Bolton staff on our team as we planned this wonderful and memorable wedding weekend.”         – Tim Heffernan

“Thank you for making our Wedding Day so special. We are beyond happy with how everything turned out. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, drinks, and overall beauty of the venue. Thank you for making everything perfect. We truly loved working with you and your team and will gladly be a reference if needed. Thank you again for an unforgettable day.   “
– Love, Tova + Tim

“Thank you for letting us have the wedding of our dreams”
– Jessie

“We are so grateful that Bolton’s beautiful Ponds venue not only topped the list…but that it also included Heather as the site Wedding Coordinator. We knew from the beginning that she was the one with whom we felt most comfortable taking on this 18-month planning adventure. Heather’s kind, calm guidance and patience during site visits and phone calls was key to this rewarding relationship. Audrey was also a great addition to Heather’s team this year…

By hosting the Friday Rehearsal Dinner then Welcome Gathering at Timberline, Saturday Wedding Day at the Ponds, After Party at the Tavern, and Sunday Farewell Brunch at the Fireside all within your range of venues, our guests experienced and benefitted from your staff’s friendly hospitality and chef staff’s culinary talents throughout the whole weekend.

Your Evangeline Suite provided the perfect setup and space for us to use as a hospitality drop-in suite for our guests and as a bridal party prep area. Hosting lodging and events all on the mountain allowed our guests additional time to relax and enjoy the beautiful daily transition of your panoramic Fall in Vermont views from each venue, and to take advantage of easy access to your outdoor activities…The wonderful team at Bolton Valley Resort will be unforgettable and we are grateful for all of you.”
– Steve and Suzanne

“Fabulous people. Incredible community every single employee there was pulling together to
Make this an event my family loved! From the little touches at the hotel that announced our wedding to the bar tenders dancing at timberline it was just incredible”
– Annie

“We can best describe our daughter’s wedding as not just a one day event but rather a weekend of celebrating with friends and family!! This weekend would not have been possible without the staff and employees of BVR. We started our planning with the hope of planning a beautiful Saturday wedding for our daughter. As we continued to work with the staff we were eventually able to plan a welcome party for 150 guests, a wedding for about 200 guests and a Sunday morning breakfast.”
– Maggie

“My husband and I got married at the Ponds in June 2023. The wedding coordinator, Heather, is amazing and helped us tremendously on our wedding day. She made sure we were fed, had drinks, and happy the entire time. The venue was perfect, exactly what we were looking for…Highly recommend to anyone looking for a small ski resort wedding vibe.”
