Capacity & Layout

Wedding packages include dining from arrival through departure and High Hampton tables, chairs, china, silverware, and glassware for meals, so the essentials are handled on-site, and guests enjoy access to the fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, seasonal activities on Lake Hampton, a seasonal swimming pool, and over a dozen hiking trails across the weekend. That resort experience turns the wedding into a true getaway for the whole party. The 1,400 acres of tall hemlocks and mountain laurel, the private lake, the gardens, and the majestic mountain vistas give photographers a stunning, immersive range of backdrops that need little added decor.
