Beautiful Venue, but the Wedding Coordinator is the best!!
Most importantly, Kat made the entire process—and our wedding day—truly magical. She listened, was attentive, and always had a smile on her face no matter what was going on. She remained calm, cool, and collected through everything.
If you’re thinking about booking, I couldn’t recommend it more. The food was fantastic, our guests raved about the space, and the team was beyond organized. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The Essex Resort and Spa is one of my favorite venues for a wedding. Top notch service and beautiful grounds make for an amazing setting. One of my favorite Vermont wedding venues.
