Killington Resort is a mountain destination wedding venue in Killington, VT, set in the Green Mountains about three hours from Boston. Couples choose between a summit ceremony at the Peak Lodge, reached by scenic gondola at 4,241 feet, or an elegant Oscar Ballroom celebration at the Killington Grand Hotel, with a firepit and poolside patio for rehearsal dinners and welcome parties. On-site lodging, a full-service spa, and year-round mountain activities make it a genuine multi-day destination, hosting weddings of up to 300 guests.
What makes Killington Resort a standout Vermont wedding venue?
The Peak Lodge experience is unlike almost any other venue in New England. Perched at 4,241 feet and reachable only by a scenic gondola ride, it wraps floor-to-ceiling windows around panoramic views of five states and three mountain ranges, with a central stone fireplace and open-concept dining and lounge areas that blend rustic elegance with modern comfort, all set for seating up to 300 with farm-to-table catering. Couples consistently describe the gondola ride itself as an unforgettable part of the day, and it’s fully accessible, including for guests using wheelchairs. Back at the base, the Killington Grand Hotel offers the Oscar Ballroom for a more traditional indoor ceremony and reception, plus an inviting firepit and poolside patio for a rehearsal dinner or welcome party against a Green Mountains backdrop. Reviews across both venues name the wedding coordinators individually and repeatedly for going above and beyond, from crafting signature cocktails for the newlyweds to helping plan around a couple’s specific vision months in advance. On-site amenities like the golf course, spa, hiking, and mountain biking give guests plenty to do throughout a full wedding weekend, and every couple receives a two-night stay in a suite plus either a season pass or a bridal luncheon as part of their package.
Lodging and parking
Killington Resort offers extensive on-site lodging led by the Killington Grand Resort Hotel, the resort’s only full-service mountainside hotel, with 200 rooms, a heated outdoor pool, and a spa, so the wedding party and out-of-town guests can stay right at the base of the mountain. Every wedding package includes a two-night stay in a one-bedroom suite for the couple. Free parking is available at all Killington Resort base lodges, with premium parking available at the K-1 and Snowshed Lodges during winter. A stone-fireplace lodge with panoramic mountain views and a poolside patio each reward lighting and sound built for the space, which is where Black Diamond comes in.
How does Black Diamond produce events at Killington Resort?
A stone-fireplace lodge with floor-to-ceiling mountain views and a poolside ballroom patio each reward lighting and sound built for the space, all on LED fixtures. We bring custom uplighting and run sound that carries a summit or poolside ceremony into cocktail hour and a Peak Lodge or Oscar Ballroom reception. Our DJ and MC talent keeps the floor moving, photo booths add a keepsake, live musicians set the tone for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and our photography and videography team captures the gondola ride, the five-state summit views, the stone fireplace, and the firepit patio, with aerial coverage of the Green Mountains where permitted. For the corporate retreats and conferences the resort’s 40,000 square feet of event space regularly hosts, we bring full corporate event production.
