Best day ever!!!
Our wedding experience went above and beyond any expectation we had. The entire staff is warm, kind, and professional. Lynne is amazing! She knows her stuff, and is just so wonderful to work with. At the rehearsal and day of, Greg led the charge, kept the whole ceremony and party on track. Kim our server was always there to help us, the beyond happy couple. I cannot stop saying enough great things about our wonderful wedding experience at The Ethan Allen. -

I used to have this vision of an outdoor, rustic place for my wedding. One of the very first places my husband and I visited was the Ethan Allen Hotel and something about it, just really stood out to us. I was so intrigued about having everything in one central location (ceremony, pictures, reception). We first started the process with Eileen who immediately had us hooked, and then Lynne took over and totally made our dreams come true. I felt like everyday for the month before, Lynne and I would talk and I would never felt overwhelmed- I knew the day would be perfect, AND IT WAS. The staff, the ambiance, the set up of the room (LITERALLY, IT LOOKED LIKE A TOTALLY RUSTIC PLACE- JUST LIKE I WANTED!!!) We worked with the captain Greg for our rehearsal and day of and we can't thank him enough for making sure everything ran smoothly. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect inside- I didn't know how 200+ people would fit in that room, but somehow they did- and it was perfect. They transformed the entire lobby into the most amazing cocktail hour ever- I was blown away. 2+ weeks later, we are STILL getting people who are raving about the food. The food totally stole out during our tasting but to hear it from virtually everyone that attended, just makes it that much better (kudos to the chef & his team.) We added late night snacks in the bar which were perfect and exactly what everyone needed after a long night of drinking and dancing. The coffee & bagels in the morning were such a nice touch as so many of our guests took advantage of staying over in the hotel. (The rooms are beautiful) I could not have dreamed of a more perfect place and we cannot wait to return for our 1 year!!! -

My wife and I held our wedding reception in September at the Ethan Allen. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Ethan Allen was the first place we looked at and, although we looked at many other venues, we kept comparing them to Ethan Allen. The quality and taste of the food was very important to us. We saw many positive reviews about the food and after our tasting we knew the food would not disappoint. So many of our guests raved about the food. The bakery Ethan Allen uses (Homestyle Desserts in Peekskill, NY) made a gorgeous and delicious cake and our guests were wowed by the Viennese station.
The real shining stars were the staff. Lynne, our wedding coordinator, helped us create the celebration of our dreams and was very patient with our numerous questions. We felt that she and the staff really cared and wanted us to have an incredible night. Greg was wonderful that night, he orchestrated the Ethan Allen team and made sure everything ran smoothly and that we had everything we needed/wanted. The hotel and reception staff were all so wonderful to work with. We are so happy with our decision to have our reception at Ethan Allen, we wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Amazing Day!
Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. Lynne Coppola and all employees made us feel very special on our wedding day. The food was delicious, the signature drink was a hit, and the cake was delicious. Everything was just how I had imagined it would be.

Melissa Sent on 07/31/2019Highly recommend!!!
Ethan Allen was the perfect venue for our wedding reception (and rehearsal dinner)!!! Choosing a venue for your wedding can be an extremely daunting task, and we’re so glad that we went with the team at Ethan Allen. Lynn was an absolute pleasure to work with. She responded to my many emails in an extremely timely manner and ensured that all the details regarding our wedding were flawless. Greg was great...he was there throughout both events to ensure that everything was going smoothly. Sunny and her team of servers were phenomenal. Our food was delicious (thanks chef!) and piping hot!! Deanna was a lovely bridal attendant. She ensured that I had everything I needed throughout the night.
We got married almost a month ago, and our guests are still raving about their experience at Ethan Allen. Many guests stayed over, and loved the convenience of having their hotel room at the same location as our reception. They also loved utilizing the hotel bar for our after party!!! Ethan Allen is not only a beautiful venue, but also super convenient. We highly recommend Ethan Allen!!!!! -

Eileen and Lynne were both wonderful to work with during my wife and I's wedding journey at Ethan Allen. I started off working with Eileen. She was amazing and very accommodating to my family and I's cultural needs. Eileen was always on top of her game. Very organized and gotta love her OCD! Unfortunately, Eileen left for another position after serving many wonderful years at Ethan Allen. Lynne came aboard and made the transition experience wonderful! She met with my wife and I to make sure our expectations were surpassed on our wedding day. Lynne was our savior on our wedding day. She made sure everything went smoothly. Everything came out wonderful besides my one friend who brought a guest that wasn't invited. Lynne and her team helped my wife and I relieve any stress that would have came in my way that day. -

We recently got married at the Ethan Allen Hotel. Every single moment involved with planning and the day of the wedding was stress free and easy! The whole day ran smoothly. The convenience of the hotel and wedding all in one place made all of our guests happy! Teresa, Sunny, Mia, Angela, Lenny, Kevin, Oksana, Linda and Lee were extremely attentive and helpful the entire night! Our guest were complementing the staff of the hotel the whole time! We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you Ethan Allen Hotel !!! -

User2597536 Sent on 05/04/2016We needed a venue with hotel accommodations for traveling guests. We wound up getting accommodations a whole lot more! The services of every person I came in contact with over 16 months was exceptional. I can't say enough kind words about Eileen! She is AMAZING! A professional thru and thru. She listened and made suggestions to help make the day wonderful. An event of this magnitude took a lot of planning! You need to get along with the people in charge. That was so easy to do! There were some areas we needed help with selection and others that I was"set in stone" about. Eileen was kind and considerate to every question and concern. Then out of almost 400 guests we had 2 teeny complaints about checking in to hotel (they were so minor--barely count as "complaint"). Over 300 guests raved about the food, service and comfort! They were pleased with location and surprised with food. At first some questioned, "who selected the menu?" as it was not typical wedding food! Well...those guests and MANY more can't stop thanking us for allowing them to share in our special day!
They are thanking us!
Imagine that!
That alone should stand as feedback for this venue! -
Alexa Sent on 08/28/2018My mother worked with the EA staff to host my bridal shower and it was absolutely perfect. The staff members were professional and went out of their way to make sure my day went off without a hitch....all while making sure I didn’t lift a finger so that I could enjoy every second of my day. Unforgettable experience, I can’t wait to celebrate my wedding day there!

Sandra Sent on 08/17/2018The Ethan Allen Hotel will be the venue for our daughter’s wedding in December but we also (just last week) hosted a Bridal Shower/Tea Party/Brunch for her at the hotel. The Conservatory — a bright, sunny room with French doors opening to the courtyard patio (with lovely gardens and a gazebo) — was the perfect setting for the brunch. Aside from the lovely venue, the service and food (especially the Mimosa bar) were excellent and the food & beverage presentation was lovely. We fully appreciated Eileen’s helpful and creative input on all matters from food to décor and look forward to collaborating with her and the staff again this winter. I cannot say enough good things about Eileen, who is an absolute delight to work with! I highly recommend the Ethan Allen Hotel to anyone who wishes to have a memorable and worry-free event. The staff have it down to an art. The execution is seamless. The décor is classic but fresh and modern. Whatever vision you’re dreaming of for your event, you can count on Eileen and the staff at the Ethan Allen Hotel to make it happen!

Jennifer Sent on 10/11/2018I thoroughly researched dozens of venues, costs, locations, menus and distance. I created a spreadsheet for my husband and I to go on tours and scout out our favorites. On a whim, I sent a quick email to Ethan Allen saying we were going to be in the area and grabbing a drink in their bar and looking around. Eileen replied and said she would love to meet with us. Grabbed our drink, sat in the lobby for a minute and here comes Eileen. Looking back, I swear she had a halo and wings. We walked around, sat and chatted about everything and signed a contract. All previous preparation for any other venue was gone in a second! The next 7 months, she went above and beyond a hundred times. Our tasting, the food was delish but more, the heartfelt conversations we had with Eileen are really what made this all feel like it was meant to be. My florist and I drove her insane with table design for 3 months and she never lost her cool. She would just say "Jen, I don't think that will work, come up and show me what you want." Linens, menus, adding, deleting, weather, everything. She was on it from day one. We were thrilled with every detail even before we got the BIG DAY... Then, it got even better.
The food was amazing, the setup was spot on. The service staff, perfect. Sunny, this perfect woman who was there for us all day, took care of things I never would have thought of until it was too late. While we were on the dance floor, she packed up our food, the cake, the bridal suite, flowers and had them all in our room waiting. We didn't have to do anything. We didn't have to think about anything but enjoying the perfect day with our loved ones.
I knew the day we met Eileen that we were connected somehow. She is more than a coordinator, she is a genuinely beautiful human with a huge heart who wanted our day to be perfect. I consider her my friend now and will forever remember our wedding day as beautiful, perfect and touched by OUR angels, together. Thank you ALL -

Paige Sent on 11/28/2018Beyond Amazing! Eileen was able to bring NJ to CT, just the way I wanted!
My husband and I looked at several venues and really wanted a hotel venue for the convenience of all of our traveling guests. We weren’t impressed by any of the big chain hotel ballroom options as they really felt like conference rooms and some other local competitors felt much more rundown. As soon as we walked in, we were impressed and my husband said to me “you’re sold already” to which I said, “I really like it but not yet.” Then we met Eileen and I was sold. She knew exactly what I was looking for with the big NJ style cocktail hour and she and the chef created a taco bar and mashed potato/French fry bar that I heard were amazing (sadly I didn’t get to taste them myself with how busy we got with talking to our guests). Our guests were all raving about the food, the service and the look of the hotel. Eileen was super honest about what she recommended and what was unnecessary with the packages and really helped me make decisions on just about everything including flower arrangements (shout out to Rita’s Floral Touch who was almost amazing and knows the venue extremely well) and table arrangements and all sorts of little stuff. Some days I think she was just my therapist which all brides could definitely use sometimes! She even worked her magic and found a way to have an outside ceremony even though it had rained all morning and the ground was wet. She really went above and beyond. All of the staff were helpful and available and I have to recommend the brunch for the morning after as well. The food was excellent and just kept coming. A couple days after the wedding, my husband said he was disappointed we didn’t get a picture with Eileen before she left which just tells you how much he enjoyed working with her (even though as a typical male he didn’t want much involvement with wedding planning). We are already looking for an excuse to have another event here. I’m thinking baby shower or first birthday for our future children. You won’t regret booking here! -
Emily Sent on 06/30/2018Within the first few minutes of our first phone conversation, I knew I had to work with Eileen and the Ethan Allen for our BIG day! If you knew me, you’d know I’m one to sometimes stress out easily, however this is the FIRST occasion that I can honestly say I was completely STREE FREE for - the planning, the organizing and every second of our Wedding Day! That’s because Eileen was there every step of the way. For months, she answered any question I had immediately, at all hours of the day. Anything that I thought would be an issue, she assured would be taken care of. She is a true professional and gives you her suggestions, but works to bring to life your vision. On our Wedding Day, Eileen and her team ran a FLAWLESS event. They worked perfectly together with all of our vendors to create a truly magical day. The Ethan Allen Hotel is truly a 5 Star one stop shop - Cocktail hour, Reception, Hotel Bar for after party & Pillows to lay our heads on! Kyle and I have never felt more like Royalty.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! -

Linda Sent on 08/28/2018If you are thinking about having a wedding, or any special occasion, run… do not walk, to the Ethan Allen Hotel! I recently had my rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and morning after breakfast at Ethan Allen and it was absolutely flawless! On a day that you expect perfection, but also plan for the worst, I received only the former. From Greg, who was our captain and made sure everything ran smoothly and wrangled my bridal party expertly while never making us feel like we weren’t having fun. To Svetlana, my attendant, who left me feeling like she was genuinely as happy for me as any family member in attendance. She watched over me, made sure I ate and had something to drink, gathered all our gifts and cards and brought them to our room and managed to always be there without ever being obtrusive. And to Kim at reception who always had a smile on her face and made sense out of chaos as I changed room reservations left and right (the rooms at the hotel are big and gorgeous! My guests loved them) There wasn’t a staff member who wasn’t gracious, kind and helpful. Many of my guests reiterated that point to me. And the food was FANTASTIC! Huge kudos to the chef who managed to make banquet catering taste like individually ordered Michelin starred meals!
But I have saved the best for last… Eileen, or Wonder Woman as I came to think of her in my head. I walked in to Ethan Allen to just check out the venue and within seconds of meeting Eileen, I knew I had my location. She oozes an energy of complete confidence that she knows exactly what she’s doing and really cares about you and your event. I am an event planner by trade and there are very few people I would have felt comfortable leaving all my months of planning in the hands of but Eileen. She executed my vision even better than I would have myself! I, quite literally, did nothing but relax and enjoy my wedding day because that was the gift Eileen gave me.

If you are looking for a fairytale wedding this is your castle! Your fairy god mother Eileen really does make all your dreams come true... AND MORE! The EAH is beyond beautiful with an AMAZING staff. I don't like using the word staff, they were all family that day. We met Eileen at a wedding show in Jan 2017 and we just fell in love with her and her charisma. We set up our meeting immediately and it was our first and last meeting for a venue for our Feb 2018 wedding. The moment we walked into the Hotel we know this is where we would start the next chapter of our life. Eileen makes everything so easy and always made sure I wasn't stressed. The EAH runs only one wedding at a time which is great. We were the main focus. Honestly we know that they run weddings all year long, but when you are with Eileen it is ONLY your wedding happening. I don't know how she does it! She truly is magical! I drew up a little idea almost a year before the wedding and she worked with Dave from SpinDoctors DJ to create this amazing fantasy dream of a wedding come true. Eileen will literally read your mind and go above and beyond any expectation you can possibly dream up. Our day came and EVERYONE was amazing. Everyone that works there did anything and everything to make the day go so smooth. We used all local vendors who work along side each other all the time and it was more then perfect. We even decided to change our center pieces two weeks before the big day and Eileen made it happen! She used her magic to create this beautiful evening. We have been told by many of our guests that our wedding was the best wedding that have ever attended. It is all because of our now family at the EAH and all the love and hard work they put into making your day absolutely spectacular. Eileen we love you so much and everything you have done for us! It was an absolute HONOR to have you part of our day. Maybe there will be a baby shower in the future in your hands. Much Love, Meg and Justin Campbell -

Kate Sent on 12/05/2017My husband Brian and I got married here in November 2017. Our wedding coordinator Eileen, the staff, Sue, and Janice made our special day very special. Eileen helped us every step of the way planning the ceremony, reception, favors, and breakfast the next day. She suggested vendors that fit our personalities and this was so helpful since we were coming from out of town. She helped us plan the decor in the conservatory which made for the most beautiful space for the ceremony. The reception was gorgeous and so fun we lost track of time. The menu we chose was very specific to suit many diets and they accommodated everything we asked for. Excellent carving station and our guests raved about the potatoes!! She takes the stress away the day of the wedding and takes care of all the details that would have made us crazy. My family wishes we lived closer so we could have all our events at Ethan Allen Hotel. We will never forget everything you did for us. We are forever grateful. Love you Eileen and thank you <3
