Unlike other venues, The Lodge on Echo Lake allowed us much creativity in our Wedding planning. All of our family and friends decided to stay on the grounds as well, so the ease of planning for everyone was made seamless and supportive to an extended weekend of fun. We appreciated the spaciousness and beautiful private setting, and are forever grateful. -

Our June wedding was incredible. We had a lakefront ceremony and then had a short walk to the venue also overlooking a beautiful quiet and private lake. The deck was a great spot for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres and then we went into the hall. The food was great and everything went really smoothly. If we get married again we'll be back! -

The venue was absolutely perfect. I wanted a wall of windows to experience the outside while nice and warm inside as it was a winter wedding. I originally worked with Kathy but Ashley came in to relieve Kathy after she retired and Ashley was AMAZING from working with me to meet our expectations to allowing accommodations for me as a breastfeeding bride, she went above and beyond. She helped cue the wedding party to walk down the aisle and helped us prep for the wedding the day before. I have nothing but good things to say. I’ll leave off with the food. Holy cow!!! The portions were INSANELY AMAZING and the food itself was DELECTABLE. I feel it is also important to add that Ashley and I worked on this miles apart as I live in buffalo but had my wedding in Warrensburg. She’s a rockstar and everything was so perfect at this venue.The Lodge On Echo Lake's reply:
Thanks Hannah for the FIVE star review! We loved hosting your and Nick's special day and are thrilled that you loved The Lodge, Ashley, Kathy and our staff! ...but most importantly, that you found The Lodge to be exactly what you envisioned for your nuptials! You two were so brave to move forward with your "winter wedding" and we were so glad we had the upstairs deck to accommodate for those who wanted a brief stint outside with you before warming up. Your attention to your guests details by providing hand warmers was the all time best! Thanks for sharing some of your favorite photos - feel free to send us any others that you loved. Please do feel free to share our secret spot with other wedding couples you know who might be looking for a cool, unique Adirondack vibe with stellar service! We hope to see you and Nick back for future family celebrations! Thanks again for taking the time to submit such a lovey review! -

Beautiful Adirondack Venue
We used the Lodge on Echo Lake for our wedding venue. Kathy and her team were very organized and flexible, which made them very easy to work with! Since the Lodge has several ceremony sites, as well as chairs, tables, linens, food and some basic decorations, it’s very easy to have a wedding here because you don’t have to find a lot of other vendors. We had guests stay in the cabins and it was easy for them to have everything on site. We also had a bonfire at the end of the reception, which was a great way to get additional time to socialize with our guests. When we were at the tasting, we felt like the food tasted a little plain and safe, so we asked them to spice it up for the wedding. Kathy easily made the adjustment and the food was great the day of the wedding! At the wedding, all of the staff at the Lodge were very helpful and polite and our guests had nothing but nice things to say! All in all, we’re so glad we chose the Lodge for our wedding and highly recommend giving them a look if you’re looking for an Adirondack venue! -

Ashley Sent on 11/20/2021Dream wedding location!
My husband and I fell in love with the lodge, and booked it almost immediately after visiting. Kathy was an absolute pleasure to work with. We ended up needing to postpone from 2020 due to Covid, and Kathy made that transition seamless! If I had a question, she had an answer. She made the whole process so easy, I can’t say enough good things about her! If you’re thinking about this venue, go look at it. Pictures simply do not do it justice. The on-site cabins are adorable and the house we stayed in the night prior and got ready in was so stinkin cute! Everything about the lodge is an Adirondack dream. -

Michael Sent on 11/28/2021Even in Rain- A GORGEOUS Day!
Our wedding on 10-16-21 was such an amazing time, in great thanks to the MVP- Most Valuable Planner- Kathy!! We can't imagine the process without her clear communication and guidance!
From our first tour of the venue alone, then with our parents, to our tasting and big day- everything was so positive and exciting! We didn't end up having our guests stay in cabins but had one for the wedding day for the bride to "hide" in for a bit, and they are beautiful!!
The venue itself- is exactly what we wanted for our wedding, a place with an impressive dance floor, great food and views both indoor and outdoor. We are extra grateful for choosing somewhere that has a beautiful indoor option, since it rained. The team was swift and professional in moving our ceremony and setting it up, drying it off for our guests- they even help haul a home-made arbor, that was a gift to us. THANK YOU!
Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, and dinner- especially the Chicken Kiev! The service was wonderful and Kathy was so helpful in figuring out our transportation shuttles.
We cannot thank The Lodge at Echo Lake enough for being the backdrop and setting for the start of our future together!
Much Love,
Erin and Mike

The Coordinator/Senior Sales Agent Kathy Votraw was accommodating, professional, courteous, promptly replied to any inquiries, requests or questions. The Venue is beautiful, spacious, clean and secured so as not to allow any "wedding crashers". All the staff were helpful, responsive and friendly. COVID-19 protocols were followed to guarantee the safety of us and our guests. The food was delicious!! -

Jami R. Sent on 04/29/2019Amazing spot for a laid back Adirondack Wedding
We had a wonderful experience at the lodge for our wedding. If you let everyone do their jobs and enjoy yourself, it goes smoothly. Great bang for your buck too! Kathy and the staff were doing some serious hustling to keep things moving and at the same time we never really noticed them. Our entire day from start to finish ran completely flawlessly! All of our guests had wonderful things to say about the venue, the staff, the food, and the wonderful views. Would do it all again in a heart beat! The NEW road house cabin was absolutely wonderful. It was a great spot for the groomsmen to get ready and hang out! Absolutely would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a "low key" Adirondack style wedding -

Jesse Sent on 09/30/2018Planning a wedding is stressful, even if you do what we did and try to keep it simple. There's always details that pop up you would never have thought of. Kathy was AMAZING at helping us with those and more. She has suggestions and recommendations. It was so appreciated! The venue was beautiful, the food was raved about, and everyone enjoyed the bonfire with huge smiles on their faces. The entire staff was top notch.
