15th Annual Best of Weddings Awards Honor the Top Wedding Vendors Across America
Lake Placid, N.Y. - Whiteface Club and Resort in Lake Placid has been selected as a 2021 winner of The Knot Best of Weddings, an accolade representing the highest and most-rated wedding professionals as reviewed by real couples, their families and wedding guests on The Knot, a leading wedding planning and registry brand and app. This is the 10th year Whiteface Club and Resort, sister property to the Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa, been named a winner of The Knot Best of Weddings awards.
Despite COVID-19 interrupting many 2020 weddings and social events, wedding professionals around the nation continued to support to-be-weds throughout their wedding planning journeys. From adjusting future schedules to make way for postponed weddings, to helping couples host socially distanced weddings following state and local guidelines and restrictions with an increased focus on health and safety, wedding pros - and the industry as a whole - rallied together in 2020, ultimately helping couples continue to celebrate life and love. The Knot 2021 Best of Weddings recognition honors the vendors who went above and beyond to help to-be-weds navigate the global pandemic.
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 Coordinator. In its 15th annual year, The Knot continues its long-standing 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.”

These winners represent the best of the best wedding professionals that engaged couples should consider booking for their own unique weddings.
Here are some of the bouquets that were tossed to the Whiteface Club and Resort from wedding couples:
“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.” – Christine R, 10/22/2020
“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! From Kristin’s personal and thorough planning to the great food, classy and fun atmosphere, and endless photo ops, I highly recommend Whiteface Club & Resort.” – Sandy H, 10/18/2020
