“We booked The Essex Resort & Spa for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our choice. From our first conversation through the big day, Katarina and the team were incredibly responsive and stayed on top of every detail we discussed. The venue itself is stunning—both the indoor and outdoor spaces are gorgeous and gave us options we really needed when thunderstorms popped up unexpectedly. Katarina went above and beyond to take care of us, making sure we had delicious food, water, and were comfortable throughout the day. The staff was friendly, professional and so accommodating and flexible when we had to adjust our plans, and they made the whole experience feel special. We'd absolutely recommend The Essex Resort & Spa to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares. Our entire wedding weekend was beautiful thanks to the wonderful team at The Essex. From the front desk staff, to the events team, bartenders, servers, and beyond everyone we worked with was helpful and kind. The Essex was very accommodating for dietary restrictions and food preferences and the food was absolutely delicious from the welcome party to the wedding day. Our guests raved about the food.”

“Our wedding at Sugarbush was perfect. We worked with Carolann who was extremely easy to work with, professional, and made the day of feel completely seamless. We got married in the Claybrook courtyard, held cocktail hour outside Gatehouse, reception inside Gatehouse, and had an after party in the pub. Every detail was excellent - bar service, food, and the team's ability to bring my half baked vision to life. They handled all my questions, last minute requests, and day of coordination. We stayed on-site and our guests loved the hotel. The large suites were great for getting ready and hanging out post events. As the bride, all I had to do was show up where Carolann told me to be and I had the best day. I know there was a whole team working behind the scenes to make that possible and I am so grateful.”
