In
2021, only five percent of hundreds of thousands of local wedding professionals
listed on The Knot received this distinguished award. One of them was Kristin
Parker, Whiteface Club’s Exclusive Wedding Planner and On-Site Catering

tradition of supporting local wedding vendors with The Knot Best of Weddings
2021, an annual by-couples, for-couples guide to the top wedding professionals
across the country. This comes as the industry prepares for an increase
in upcoming celebrations due to postponed events throughout 2020.
“On
behalf of all the staff at the Whiteface Club and Resort, we are so pleased
to receive this honorable award again,” said Mark Sperling, CEO of the
Whiteface Companies. “This award reflects our continuous efforts, spearheaded
by Kristin.” We truly LOVE what we do, and feel so lucky to be a part of
such a special property. Thank you to all of our wedding couples who have
chosen the Club as their wedding venue. We are here for you and now you
are part of the Club’s family.”

“Kristin,
the wedding planner, helped us pretty much every step of the way. She made
everything much easier and stress free! The wedding itself was absolutely
perfect. Multiple people have told me it was the best wedding they’ve ever
been to.” – Adam R, 11/16/2020

“We
decided that we wanted to do an outdoor ceremony in February 2020 with
150 people. Kristin was absolutely amazing!!! Her ideas for the day were
way more than we could ever have imagined. The grounds were stunning. She
even organized hot spiked beverages for guests before the ceremony started.”

“Kristin
and her team are amazing! The venue is gorgeous everywhere you look; inside,
outside, and during all four seasons. I’ve photographed several weddings
there, and I get excited every time I get an inquiry to shoot there again!
