A Sweet Ceremony and a Story Worth Telling–Whiteface Club
Megan and Martin’s summer wedding day began in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, at the Whiteface Club. This club is one of our favorite Lake Placid wedding venues. With the help of her mother and sister, Megan slipped into her grandmother’s wedding dress. After placing her jewelry, and a deep breath, Megan walked outside to greet her groom for their first look. Martin was all smiles as he got to see his bride. He couldn’t stop grinning all through formal photos!
A sweet traditional ceremony followed on the shore of the lake with an intimate reception following to celebrate with their friends and family. But before the reception, the newlyweds slipped away for a ride in style on Lake Placid in a 1925 Criss Craft. Following the boat ride, Megan and Martin shared their first dance as a married couple. Laughter-filled speeches kicked off the reception dinner. DJ Mike Reilly got the dance floor rocking after dinner. And boy was it a party! The grandmothers could be seen dancing the night away on the floor! Congratulations to Dr and Mrs (soon to also be Dr!!). Your Whiteface Club wedding was one of our favorites this season!
Whiteface Club Wedding Experience: A Perfect Summer Celebration
There’s something undeniably magical about a summer wedding at the Whiteface Club, and Megan and Martin’s day captured every bit of that charm. The atmosphere was filled with emotion, from the quiet anticipation of getting ready in the bridal suite to the excitement that buzzed through the air as guests gathered lakeside. The natural beauty of the venue, with Lake Placid shimmering just beyond the ceremony site and the High Peaks standing tall in the background, created an unforgettable setting for every moment. The couple’s vintage boat ride across the lake added an extra layer of storybook romance that fit the elegance of the day so well. It’s those unique touches, like the historic 1925 Criss Craft and the gentle rustle of pines during the vows, that make a Whiteface Club wedding truly special.
Inside the Club’s warm and inviting ballroom, guests were treated to a celebration that felt both elevated and personal. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between timeless Adirondack style and sophisticated wedding charm. Tables were beautifully set, candlelight glowed, and laughter echoed throughout the evening. And once DJ Mike Reilly kicked things off, the dance floor came alive. From the newlyweds’ first twirl to the joyful chaos of the late-night crowd, the energy never faded. The grandmothers dancing with pure delight was a moment that summed up the night, joyful, heartfelt, and completely unforgettable.
