Last weekend was my cousin's wedding. She and her husband are really laid back and ourdoorsie people and for years have wanted to get married in the Adirondacks. That's exactly what they did. It was a small wedding of close family and friends in a little chapel on Big Moose Lake.
All of us family members stayed at a place called the Waldheim which was on the same lake. There were cabins with a few bedrooms in them so between all of my family we were in 2 cabins. The cabins don't have locks and every morning the fire boy comes in and starts a fire in the fireplace. He's also in charge of the bonfires at night and preparing the sticks for smores.
In the price of the cabin is breakfast, lunch, and dinner - all sit down meals. Someone comes through and rings the meal bell. As long as you are in before closing time, you will be served. There was a menu and you could pick anything and everything (even some things that weren't on the menu. If you weren't going to be at lunch, they would pack you a picnic lunch in a basket with a blanked and everything.
The wedding reception was at an Inn about 20 mins away on 4th lake. The reception was fairly informal - most people changed into comfortable clothes (jeans, nice shirts, etc.) and played games like horseshoes, croquet, or just chatted. I sat in a chair on the lake and read a book.
