Wonderful venue and team

My wife and I loved the ECHO Leahy Center for our recent September wedding where both the venue and ECHO Team were great partners in our special day. The entire ECHO Team were responsive, attentive to what we wanted our day to look like, and were flexible in helping adapt to any unplanned changes that occurred throughout our planning. In not being originally from Vermont, were weren't certain of our options to get married when we moved to Vermont and choosing the ECHO Leahy Center was the easiest choice we made in our planning. We would recommend anyone interested to check them out and to learn more about their team and the venue. Would also absolutely recommend asking how to have their creemee stand become a wedding dessert option; all of our guests loved it and we were thrilled to share what we love about Vermont through the help of the ECHO Leahy Center and team!

Great venue

ECHO was the perfect venue for us. We had a lot of weird checkboxes we assumed couldn't all be checked, but ECHO did it -- could fit my large family, outdoor ceremony space, indoor reception space, built-in activities so guests had something to do if they didn't want to dance, a place that didn't require a lot of decorating, well-treated animals, non-profit organization, on the water, an event coordinator included in the package, in a New England city with lots to do on a fall weekend. ECHO really was all of that and more! Kelsey & Sabiha made sure things ran smoothly, and they made it all very easy for us. I've been to some weddings where the wedding party basically has to go straight into clean-up mode the second the event is over, and I really appreciated that this was something that ECHO covered, so that our guests and ourselves could just wind down and go home stress-free. They took everything that didn't belong to them and packed it up in a few boxes so that it was all ready for the Best Man to pick up the next day. They also really worked with us on our developing vision, like how to fit everyone on the upper deck and setting off confetti cannons. All in all a great experience!

An absolute dream

My partner and I work very busy jobs and were looking for an outdoor venue without the need for a lot of DIY-ing. ECHO was perfect - beautiful outdoor ceremony location with stunning lake views with the added fun benefit of the museum and exhibits for guests to explore. They use an exclusive caterer Sugarsnap whose food is amazing, streamlines the timeline, and does all setup/cleanup. ECHO's coordinators are also great, communicate promptly via email and really run the show the day of (the best day of coordinator ever!). Sabiha went above and beyond, even sewing a bridesmaid's dress and moving our ceremony under the awning at the last second for rain. All our guests (about 115) LOVED the venue and had a ton of fun being on the water for cocktail hour, exploring the exhibits, commenting it's the best wedding food they've had and loving the underwater dancefloor vibes. All in all, was amazing value for the price and would 1000% choose ECHO over and over again.
