“Hotel Champlain Burlington, Curio Collection by Hilton was an exceptional venue for our wedding. From our initial inquiry to the day of the event, the staff was extremely responsive and communicative via email, phone, and in-person meetings. The space is beautiful and very easy to decorate to fit any wedding theme. As a special touch, they provided a complimentary wine and cheese board in our guest room which was a lovely surprise. We would 100% book any event at Hotel Champlain again in the future. The professionalism and attention to detail made our special day truly unforgettable.”

“We chose the Lodge at Schroon Lake for our wedding, and we truly couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the moment we arrived for our tour, we knew we had found something special. Everyone made us feel so welcomed and taken care of from day one. From the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony and reception, everything was absolutely perfect. Emily was amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was organized, communicative, and always listened to what I wanted while helping bring our vision to life. She made the whole process feel so easy and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous everything was. And the food was a huge hit—several of our guests told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! We are so grateful we chose the Lodge at Schroon Lake and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. We cannot wait to come back and visit!”
