Memorable Ceremonies Amid the Majestic Adirondack Mountains

LAKE PLACID, NY (July, 2010) – Ideally positioned among the majestic Adirondack Mountains in Lake Placid, the Whiteface Lodge provides a stunning year-round destination for wedding and vow renewal ceremonies. To promote its distinctive services and venues, the Lodge today announced the “Adirondack Weddings Package.”

The new package, effective immediately, offers a variety of sophisticated services and amenities, such as a gratis “welcome” gift for the bride and groom featuring champagne and homemade chocolate-covered strawberries. Additional elements include a $500.00 spa credit to inspire friends and family to enjoy the property’s 5,800-square-foot, full service spa, which offers an array of relaxing treatments for men and women, in addition to hair and makeup services for the bridal party. Additional pricefriendly features include offering a savings of $2,000 to couples who select a Friday or Sunday wedding, and couples who choose to book a 2011 or 2012 wedding before August 31, 2010 will receive a 15-percent reduction on one of the Lodge’s wedding dinner packages. (These special package offerings cannot be combined with other specials or discounts and do not have cash value).

Families and friends of the bridal couple will be inspired to experience the spacious Presidential Suite, located in The Clubhouse. Featuring luxe furnishings and distinctively styled Adirondack appointments, the 2,997-square-foot, two-level Presidential Suite boasts a private elevator entry, a four season porch, a romantic wood burning fireplace, one King bedroom, two rooms each with a Queen beds and an “kids room” with two Twin beds. The spacious home-like setting also offers a fully outfitted kitchen and expansive dining room. It can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests as it also includes a sleeper sofa.

Offering full-service facilities and venues for ceremonies and receptions, The Clubhouse contains The Whispering Pines Room, a 3,800 square-foot space with floorto- ceiling windows serving as a charming pre-function area, a venue for rehearsal dinner cocktail parties, or as an ideal area for morning-after breakfast gatherings. The Mountain View Terrace includes an enclosable porch, impressive native stone fireplace and comfortable Adirondack-style furnishings for exquisite ceremonies and lavish wedding receptions. Additionally, the courtyard garden creates a stunning setting for ceremonies and cocktail receptions with the McKenzie mountain range as a beautiful backdrop. The Lodge’s event specialists will work with couples to develop a complete wedding package, recommending nearby florists, photographers, musicians and other specialists.

During the summer, the Lodge’s exclusive lakefront Canoe Club offers a creative choice for a waterside wedding ceremony on a private beach. The Lodge’s event staff will seamlessly coordinate and implement an entire wedding event in this lovely, oneof- a-kind outdoor setting. Couples may choose a casual clam and lobster bake or a BBQstyle rehearsal dinner. After the romantic lakefront exchange of vows, the Lodge is fully equipped to stage a festive, tented reception. The Canoe Club is also ideal for a dayafter picnic for family and friends; highlights include kayaking, canoeing, swimming, badminton, bocce ball, croquet, and more.
