Plan an Outdoor Wedding Overlooking Lake George

Outdoor Lake George weddings don’t get better than those at Fort William Henry. Your happily-ever-after begins with a lakefront ceremony on the Queen of American Lakes. Our 18-acre property sits at the southern basin of Lake George. Your ceremony will have a backdrop of the lake and surrounding Adirondack mountains. The ceremony is just the beginning of your dream wedding!

Choose Your Perfect Setting

Choose from three unique venues for your reception: the Carriage House, the Lake George Ballroom, or the White Lion Room. We can also accommodate rehearsal dinners, wedding breakfasts, and engagement parties.

The Carriage House

300 guests

The historic 19th-century carriage house once supported the Gilded Age of travel in the Adirondacks. After undergoing a major restoration, it now comfortably holds up to 300 guests. Host your ceremony on the lawn, followed by cocktail hour on the deck, and then dinner and dancing inside.

The Lake George Ballroom

180 Guests
