Beautiful venue, excellent service

We got married at Echo Lake Inn October 2021. The venue was beautiful and it was a truly special day. We, and all our guests, had a fantastic time.
It was very convenient to have the rehearsal dinner, the wedding, and Sunday brunch at one location. Our guests really appreciated being able to stay on-site and having use of the full property all weekend.
Tom and his team facilitated what was most important to us – getting to share time and make memories with our family
When we booked the venue, I was originally concerned about having our wedding in a tent. I’m so glad that didn’t stop us - the tent is very sturdy, comfortable temperature, and is decorated with a sophisticated feel.
Tom and his team were very helpful in helping us coordinate all aspects of the wedding and giving us ideas. We had some untraditional requests, and Tom and his team were accommodating in making our wedding wishes a reality

A Wonderful Wedding Weekend at Echo Lake!

My wife and I had our wedding in August 2021 at Echo Lake Inn and it was absolutely perfect. We reserved the venue over a year before and throughout the entire planning process, Tom, Rachel, and the entire Echo Lake team were always ready to help and answer any questions we had.

From the very first meeting with Tom, the innkeeper and wedding coordinator, to the final busy days before the event, we knew our wedding was in good hands. We wanted a weekend-long wedding at a venue that could accommodate our 65-person guest list and Echo Lake Inn was absolutely perfect. All of our guests had a wonderful time and many told us it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended. And while the gorgeous surroundings and many amenities definitely played a part, it was really the people at Echo Lake that made our wedding a success. They took care of everything. From making sure our guests with dietary restrictions had delicious specially-made meals, to ferrying the guests who needed some extra assistance to the ceremony space via golf cart, to quietly ensuring my wife and I always had full water glasses on our sweetheart table at the reception, so we could dance the night away, the Echo Lake team never missed a beat!

Finally, as my wife and I held our wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic, we also wanted to express our gratitude for the effort and flexibility the Echo Lake team put into making our event as safe as possible. The gorgeous outdoor ceremony and reception spaces were perfect for us. Even during the dancing, the tent felt well-ventilated and spacious. The large porch meant folks could eat outside for every meal if they didn’t feel comfortable eating inside the inn, and the wealth of outdoor activities in beautiful Ludlow kept everyone out in the fresh air for much of the weekend.

We would highly recommend holding your wedding and or any event at Echo Lake Inn. The natural beauty, incredible professionalism, and amazing staff all combined to create an unforgettable weekend for us and our guests. We can’t wait to come back for a visit!
