“We had our wedding at ECHO and could not say enough good things! The setting of a museum, directly on the Lake Champlain Waterfront, could not be beat. Our guests had a great time exploring the museum and being able to take in the views! On top of the venue being great, the event staff at ECHO were top notch.

“If we could give Brant Lake Camp a million stars, we would. Our wedding weekend here was nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are for the experience. From the moment we first connected with Alexa, we knew we were in the best possible hands. She’s not just a coordinator—she’s a rare kind of person who blends warmth, precision, and pure joy into everything she touches. Every meeting, she showed up with clarity, answers, and a plan. Every promise she made, she fulfilled with grace. And during the weekend itself, she carried us so effortlessly through each moment that we were able to be fully present with our loved ones. Alexa’s smile and spirit are unforgettable, and she truly became the heartbeat of our wedding. But it wasn’t just Alexa—it was everyone. The staff at Brant Lake Camp became like family to us. Their kindness was endless, their energy boundless. They didn’t just work—they laughed with us, played with us, cheered with us. Who else says “yes” without hesitation when asked to referee water-gun capture the flag, lead a hike at sunrise, or host a massive kickball game? These aren’t just employees—they are people with generous hearts and playful spirits, and they infused our weekend with magic. The food was outstanding (we are still raving about the gyro lunch!), and the camp itself was a dream; expansive, stunningly maintained, and alive with possibilities. Guests found themselves running from archery to the beach to the ninja course, their inner kids reawakened. For those who needed help navigating the hills, staff were there in seconds with carts and smiles. No one ever felt like a burden, only like a treasured guest. And then—the wedding itself. We didn’t lift a finger. The team handled every detail, from setup to vendors to even keeping the surprise ice cream truck hidden until just the right moment. They threw an unforgettable after-party, complete with Pedro DJing his heart out - an unexpected surprise! Our weekend was full of picture-perfect moments: a welcome party under the lights by the water, a cozy campfire, cabins stocked with thoughtful touches like extra blankets, welcome bags delivered with care, etc. On our last night (we had an extended weekend), they somehow helped orchestrate a talent show, Family Feud, broadcast a college football game in one clubhouse, host movies for both kids and adults in others, and s’mores under the stars—because they knew how to give our guests every ounce of joy possible before it ended. And here’s the truth: our family and friends didn’t just “enjoy” the wedding. They were moved by it. They told us it was unlike anything they’d ever experienced, that it was unforgettable, that it felt like us. And that’s the gift Brant Lake Camp gave us—not just a wedding, but a weekend where our community could gather, play, laugh, and love with us in a way that one night never could. We left Brant Lake Camp with hearts so full they might burst. We left with memories that bring tears to our eyes even now. And we left with friends already interested in coming back for the family or adult weekends. If you’re considering Brant Lake Camp, don’t hesitate. It will change the way you think about what a wedding can be. It will give you more than a celebration—it will give you a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of love, joy, and connection. And it will stay with you forever.”
