“From the moment we stepped foot on the grounds of The Lodge at Schroon Lake, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff's communication style was thorough, kind and accommodating, ensuring our vision was centered throughout the planning process. They introduced us to the entire team that would be working on our special day, and were incredibly flexible in meeting our requests, like adding gender neutral bathroom signs to make our LGBTQ guests feel welcome.

“Marcia and her team at the Marriott helped make our day amazing! She was very patient with us and our multiple changes along the way. The chef, bartenders, servers, and everyone in between did a lovely job at both our welcome event and our reception. While some communication was difficult along the way, Marcia really prioritized us in the couple weeks leading up to the wedding. If we could redo, we would have our wedding here 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. The larger boat, the Adirondac, is a 115 luxury cruise ship trimmed with mahogany and cedar along all three decks and modeled after late 19th century touring ships.

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!”

“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!”
