Went to a wedding here and it was absolutely gorgeous. The food was fantastic and the camp itself was so beautiful, ranging from the green fields to the incredible waterfront. The hosts set up a large tent and dance floor on the soccer field protecting us from the intermittent showers that day. The tent was lined with string lights and looked almost magical when the sun began to set. On Sunday morning we walked down to see the lake surrounded by mountains of trees. Loved this place!

I had the perfect 24-person wedding at Chamlar, a place that holds my most cherished summer memories. We said our vows on the Great Lawn overlooking Schroon Lake, followed by an intimate lobster bake on the lodge’s front porch. As the sun set, we danced barefoot under the stars and ended the night with a bonfire on the private beach.

The Inn at Erlowest was the perfect venue for our special day. From signing to the day of, the staff was efficient, organized, and friendly in their communication - especially the onsite wedding coordinator. LeAnna and her team were so knowledgeable and good at their jobs that I never stressed about the event. All good vibes! They helped coordinate all of our details; from the night before BBQ, to table linens to photographs of two large families, keeping everything running smoothly and on time. The venue itself is breathtaking. Guests are still telling us that they’re never seen a more beautiful ceremony location, and the reception space is a perfect mix of elegant and down to earth that we were aiming for. The staff truly helped make this the best day of our lives by creating a seamless, stress-free event that allowed us to focus on celebrating with our loved ones. If anything event wrong, I have no idea! We couldn't have asked for more from our venue and highly recommend The Inn at Erlowest to any couple looking for a magical wedding location with top of their game staff. I wish we could do it again!

Facilities and Capacity Couples can choose to celebrate their special day on one of two boats, which can hold as many as 400 guests. The Horicon, Waterfront Cruises’ wooden yacht stretching an impressive 85 feet long, shines with two glass-enclosed decks.

She answered all of our questions quickly and gave helpful recommendations whenever we needed her opinion. On the day of the event, Clara and the entire boat staff were wonderful. Everyone was so kind, attentive, and made the whole experience so enjoyable for us and our guests. It was such a memorable and fun way to kick off our wedding weekend—we couldn’t recommend them more!
