Wisp Resort

Has anyone ever had or attended a wedding at the Wisp Resort in Garrett County? If so, what were your thoughts?

Re: Wisp Resort

  • I am getting married at Wisp this summer. :)  We are doing a mountain top ceremony, with the reception in the lodge.  I have never attended a wedding there, but we did go up to the mountain top location when we visited a couple months ago and the views are awesome!

    I live outside of DC, so Wisp was more affordable than many DC venues.  The views in Deep Creek Lake are also hard to beat.

    I do feel compelled to share this, though (unfortunately): I have been extremely disappointed in the response time with the coordinator I'm working with.  Apparently their wedding coordinator had left shortly before I booked there, so they have been "short staffed."  I have sent emails with questions and left voicemails and wasn't getting a response for nearly two weeks until I called and complained to someone.  I'm an extremely patient and understanding person, but I have been so disappointed in the service I've received so far with cooridination there. On the plus side, I heard they recently hired a new wedding specialist - thank GOD! So, I'm hoping things improve soon! 

    Nevertheless, Wisp is beautiful and they do have good reviews on Wedding Wire (although they mostly talk about the wedding coordinator who left)).

    Best of luck! :)
  • thanks for your response. :-)

    we had a meeting with the new event planner on saturday and she seems amazing! as my fiance and i are at the very beginning of planning, she had tons of suggestions... however - she said she'd have a proposal to us by the end of the weekend and after FI emailed.. it was changed to the end of the week.  Because we are so far out from our wedding i'm not as worried.. but hopefully when it gets closer to the date they will be quicker with their responses.

    she also mentioned that she had hired someone else that started monday - so maybe things will start moving along for you!  the new wedding coordinator has TONS of experience and really seems to be bringing fresh ideas.. let's keep our fingers crossed!

    the moutaintop ceremony site is gorgeous! that area of MD is just beautiful.
