Exceptional!

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.

Highly recommend!

Our experience with The Lodge on Echo Lake was beyond our expectations. I would recommend the Lodge to any bride and groom looking for a unique wedding location with many choices to make your day exactly what you dreamed of. The staff set up our reception with care, and catered to our special requests without hesitation. 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 Lodge on Echo Lake is one of my favorite places to photograph. They have an Adirondack feel and it's very catered to your wedding or event only, you have the entire place to work with yourself, which is important. We've captured many weddings at this location over the years. They are great to work with and it's always a good time. OOTO looks forward to working at this venue again!

The Lodge at Echo Lake offers such a wonderfully beautiful and relaxes setting for any couple wishing to get married in the Adirondacks. Their property offers so many different options for your wedding weekend and their staff is nothing less than professional and caring.

We have had the privilege and honor of photographing weddings at this beautiful venue many times over the years! One of our best weddings there was for the Curtis Family, of Curtis Lumber and the staff from the Lodge made my clients very happy with their reception including the ceremony. The grounds outside the venue has many photo opportunities for great photos, especially at sunset down by the Lake! We absolutely love the rustic, yet elegant feel you get from their mail ballroom! The dance floor is amazing with the high ceilings and large gorgeous windows that allow the room to shine! We recommend The Lodge at Echo Lake to anyone looking in having something unique for your venue! http://www.imagineportraitstudio.com/andrew-and-kylie-holland-at-the-lodge-on-echo-lake/
