The Inn at Erlowest Reviews

I was a guest at a wedding in December and was blown away from the moment I arrived. Now that I am shopping for Wedding venues for myself, The Erlowest is the first place I am looking. The food, and staff and the attention to detail was beyond everything I am looking for in my own wedding venue.

The team at Erlowest (Jaimee, LeAnna and Laurie) were a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning journey. Their responsiveness and organisational prowess took the stress of the occasion away from my fiancé and I, and allowed the two of us to fully make the most of our special day.

In terms of the venue itself, the Inn and surrounding property is absolutely stunning. Our guests adored the townhouses down by the lake front, and the eloquent setup of the ballroom where we hosted our reception was like something out of a movie. Words can't describe how grateful we are to have tied the knot in such a picturesque location, and we fully recommend the team at Erlowest to anyone who is looking to tie the knot in the Lake George/Albany area. It was without a doubt the best day of our lives!

Our wedding was an absolute dream come true, and it wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the venue's staff and coordinator, LeAnna! The staff was incredibly attentive and anticipated our needs before we even realized them, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. LeAnna is a rockstar! She was on top of everything and with her coordination it allowed us to fully enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. The Inn at Erlowest is the perfect wedding venue! The views provided a breathtaking backdrop for the ceremony and reception. It's the perfect location where cherished memories are made. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We had the pleasure of working with LeAnna as our wedding coordinator and Laurie for all our accommodations at the Inn and Sun Castle Resort. Both LeAnna and Laurie were amazing. They made planning a wedding for 130 guests seamless. LeAnna made the planning process a breeze as she checked in regularly and gave us a timeline which made the planning much easier. She and her team went above and beyond on the day of the wedding. They made sure we had everything we needed, set up the ballroom, centerpieces, candy bar, and floral arrangements for the ceremony. I did not have to worry about anything other then getting myself ready. Everyone raved about the food including the wedding cake made by Lake George Baking Company. To end the night we surprised our guests with fireworks. They were spectacular! Overall, If you are looking for a picture perfect venue with top of the line professionals I would not look any further. Our guests continue to tell us that it was perfect.

The Erlowest is THE BEST location for a wedding on Lake George. Once we visited this venue we looked no further. Our wedding coordinator was Jaimee and she was a rockstar and did the best job keeping everything organized and kept us on track all those months/weeks leading up to the day. On the day of the wedding the staff never skipped a beat and everything was extremely well coordinated between all our vendors. We opted to have our ceremony at the north pointe to have the views of the lake but had the comfort of knowing that should the weather not hold up it would still be a gorgeous setting to get married under the canopied courtyard. Also highly recommend renting the Miss Erlowest. The entrance of the groom and groomsmen is epic and photos of us on the boat are some of my favorite from the day. Captain Ron was so awesome and not a hair was out of place when we came back from our short cruise!

Our wedding day was a DREAM!! We are so glad we booked with the Inn at Erlowest. It is the PERFECT venue for family traveling in to stay close together and enjoy the special weekend. The Inn and the Suncastle had great rooming options, our guests loved it!

The bridal suite is so comfy and fun. We loved the couches, the balcony and the natural lighting.

The lakefront ceremony option is beautiful, but the patio ceremony ended up being our favorite location. It was so intimate, still gave the lake backdrop, and looked so beautiful for photos.

Reception room is breathtaking. LeAnna decorated just as we had discussed, and worked so closely with our other vendors to make sure our vision came to life.

Food was amazing - all the way from cocktail hour to our late night bites. Guests were pleased!

Shout out to the bartenders - They were a crowd favorite!

Our wedding at the Erlowest was the most amazing day ever. From our first tour of the venue to packing up our wedding the morning after, the staff was so helpful. LeAnna and her team kept our day running so smooth and punctual. The food was amazing and every vendor that was recommended by Erlowest was top notch. The best day ever, all thanks to the most amazing venue!

I just had my wedding at Erlowest and I could not recommend them enough! Jaimee our coordinator and all of the staff at Erlowest were so amazing and made sure we had an amazing stress-free day! Throughout the whole planning process they took care of us and were so responsive. They take care of just about everything you'd need, from meals and the wedding cake to decoration set-up/take-down. We did not have to worry about a thing and everything was so amazing! They really want you to have fun and enjoy your wedding day. Highly recommend Jaimee and the team at the Inn at Erlowest, with them you will definitely have a fantastic wedding!

The Inn at Erlowest was our dream venue, we originally fell in love with the views, but the whole wedding package turned out to be amazing. Staff were busy leading up to the day, but always responded eventually & we’re fully dedicated to us and our guests the day of, which I appreciated. We paid extra for the boat and night time snack and it was TOTALLY worth it. Food was amazing, even the wings, pizza & pretzels. The best thing about this venue and the staff, was their ability to notice things that completely slipped my mind. For example, we had a heart shaped LED light with our initials that we wanted to hang up or put somewhere. I completely forgot to pack things to display it. But by the time I walked into the ballroom, it was already hung up beautifully, I was so happy & it looked so good. Not only that, but everything that I had dropped off was displayed and ready to go. It was a great feeling knowing I didn’t have to worry about the little things while preparing myself for my wedding day. THANK YOU

Our daughter got married at Erlowest in October 2022, and as she describes it, she had a "fairy tale" wedding. Everyone on the Erlowest staff provided us with a spectacular event. The venue is perfectly set up to host a wedding. LeAnna did an excellent job helping us from booking 18 months ago through the day after brunch. We felt we received excellent service for our money, and we would highly recommend Erlowest.

We had a Thursday September 2022 wedding.
We are a gay couple and fell in love with The Inn at Erlowest the second we arrived for our tour. LeAnna was our venue coordinator all the way from the first meeting and was a tremendous help every step of the way. Erlowest provides the wedding menu, linens, tasting menu, bakes the custom wedding cake, includes bar service, and provides a complimentary wedding night suite at the Inn. The property, ballrooms, and Inn are GORGEOUS! We opted-in for the Miss Erlowest boat ride, which made for a relaxing and romantic touch.

My husband and I knew we wanted to get married on Lake George and when we looked at venues, we knew we had to go with the Inn at the Erlowest. We chose the North Pointe for our ceremony location and I decided I wanted to arrive on the Miss Erlowest lake boat. The organization from day one was something we very much appreciated. Everything was laid out for us to fully understand and customize what we wanted for our day. LeAnna and Jaimee were so punctual in responding to our emails (and we sent alot of them since we were an out of state couple). The tasting was so fun and everything for the event (including linen colors, bar options, and townhouse/room availability) were discussed and decided at this time. The day of the wedding was where the ladies really showed their true colors. We had three exceptional women assisting us (one with the bridal party ladies, one with the men, and one overall coordinating). They all communicated via earpiece walkie-talkies and let us know step by step what was happening and a countdown to where we needed to be and when. They even bustled my dress!! If you are on the fence about decided whether or not to choose this venue, stop hesitating and go for it. It is SO worth the price and I was so calm on the wedding day thanks to these lovely ladies.

From the moment we walked on property and met with LeAnna we all knew this was the venue to have our daughter‘s wedding! LeAnna was exceptional to work with! She made our 7 month wedding planning process such a breeze! The magical day itself was spectacular and we couldn’t of asked for anything more. The magnificent lakeside setting is truly magical. The staff at Erlowest is eloquent, experienced and professional meeting exceeding all of our needs. Our guests are still telling us that they had a fabulous time. Best wedding ever! The fireworks were fabulous. Thank you to everyone at Erlowest for making this amazing day one to remember forever! Everything was just perfect! 💞

My wedding day was a dream!! We couldn't have picked a better venue. The employees and staff members were extremely professional and flexible. They made the entire experience all about myself and the groom. If there were any changes (even on the day of the wedding) they made sure it was done asap. From start to finish, the entire day and months leading up to the day went perfectly smooth. I wouldn't have want to work with anyone else on my wedding day. They made it as stress free as possible.

My husband and I had the most perfect wedding experience at the Inn at Erlowest. We are so happy that we found this phenomenal venue. We selected the Inn for a unique wedding experience that wasn't cookie cutter like a lot of the venues out there. The Inn is very charming and has a lot of vintage characteristics that we fell in love with. We also picked the Inn for the food as every review was so complimentary of the dining experience and we wanted to ensure that our guests would have delicious meal options. I cannot not say enough great things about our experience, especially working with LeAnna Avila and Laurie Jones, as they are quite the dream team and so professional. They ensured that our day went off without a hitch and for that we are incredibly grateful. For our big day, we rented the Grand Ballroom, and it was absolutely perfect for 150 guests. We rented the side patio space with the fireplace as well as we didn't want any non-guests around during our big day. We had originally intended to get married at the North Pointe, if the weather would permit but the day of, we decided to go with the Courtyard space due to weather forecasting concerns and we're so glad that we ended up getting married in the Courtyard instead. It was the best call and made for quite the intimate ceremony experience. You can't go wrong with either option. We rented the Miss Erlowest boat for pictures as well. Ladies, make sure your hair is securely sprayed before venturing out on Miss Erlowest! Cocktail hour on the patio outside of the Grand Ballroom was absolutely magical. The Inn was SO accommodating and responsive to all requests and asks. LeAnna and Laurie thought of things that we never would have thought of ourselves. We also rented out all of the rooms in the Inn so we could take over the venue fully for our experience. I highly recommend that you fill all rooms in the Inn itself for a more private experience. If not, you risk the possibility of non-wedding guests staying at the Inn complaining about noise, etc. Our crew hung out on the side patio after our rehearsal dinner and had such a great night, it was so nice having the place all to ourselves. LeAnna is essentially a member of the wedding SWAT team as that woman has every aspect of wedding day execution down to a science (headset and all). I was so grateful for her and her guidance leading up to the wedding and throughout our big day. She made me feel so comfortable and cared for, especially moments when I was feeling nervous, I would just follow LeAnna's lead. Everything was timed perfectly with LeAnna as our guide. The hospitality was unmatched. All staff members were amazing and very accommodating. When we dropped all of the wedding items off at the Inn the day before, I noticed that a piece of our custom cake topper was broken, and Laurie was so amazing and fixed it for us with superglue. The day of was seamlessly executed, our guests were so very impressed with their experience at the Inn. The champagne greeting upon arrival was a nice touch that I'm glad we included, the sign outside of the Inn was customized with our names on it, the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD, a year later and our guests are still raving about it. After the ceremony, we went to sign our marriage license and the staff immediately brought us a full plate of hors D'oeuvres and our signature drinks (which were made to perfection). I could go on and on. The Inn truly made us feel like celebrities on our big day and I wish we could relive it over and over again. THANK YOU Inn at Erlowest for the best day of our lives and the incredible wedding experience. We are very proud to be an Inn at Erlowest couple.

If you are considering this venue - think no further. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. Beyond the natural beauty of Lake George and the Inn - the staff at the Inn at Erlowest is phenomenal. They are detailed oriented, organized and kind. They take care of thinking about all the details for you and ensure every aspect of your day runs smoothly. I cannot find the words to properly articulate how amazing the staff is. They deserve the highest praise!!! My wedding was a dream and the Inn at Erlowest made that happen!!!

Very helpful staff and loved visiting the premises. I look forward to having my dream wedding at this modern castle!

I had an intimate wedding at the Inn at Erlowest in the fall of 2021 and it was everything I could have hoped for. LeAnna and Laurie made the wedding planning process so smooth and easy from start to finish. It wouldn't have been the same experience without them! LeAnna worked with us to create the wedding we envisioned and everything went exactly as planned on our big day. I was so impressed by her and the entire Erlowest team - they are the best of the best! The food was delicious, the accommodations were wonderful, and the views are just breathtaking. If you're looking for a beautiful location on the water, look no further than the Erlowest!! We're already planning to return next year to celebrate our first anniversary!

Having the inn as the setting of the venue made our day!! We got the brunch menu and the ice cream bar and they were such a big hit!!

The Inn at Erlowest was more than accommodating from the minute we met LeAnna back in 2019 to our wedding this year in 2021. When we originally travelled to Lake George to search for wedding venues, we didn’t even have Erlowest in mind, but we passed it on accident and saw how beautiful it was. It was even more beautiful than we could have imagined when we toured the property. All of the staff, especially LeAnna and Laurie were extremely patient with me and my million questions over the 2 years leading up to our wedding. The day of our wedding went on with absolutely no complaints and every one of our guests (Josh & I included) was blown away at how beautiful and well executed the entire day was ! I would highly recommend Erlowest to any prospective

LeAnna was a god-send, and a total pro. She handled every curve ball that the pandemic threw at her, and gave us the perfect wedding. The venue was breathtaking

Erlowest helped us achieve our DREAM! Our day was everything we imagined and more and a major part of that was choosing Erlowest as our venue. LeAnna and team helped create a flawless day - from our cocktail style party, to our wild dance floor, to making me and my husband feel like celebrities. There was a small issue with our shuttle transportation and LeAnna made sure we had no idea what was going on and everything moved forward smoothly. Laurie was great to work with also, making sure all of our guests rooms were worked out smoothly and helping with all the day of logistics (she kept us calm and excited as we awaited our grand entrance!). We really appreciated how they helped us achieve some different/non traditional ideas we had for our wedding. Everyone was so flexible with executing our vision (something we had issues with at other venues we considered). We also really appreciated how helpful Erlowest was with all of the COVID changes we experienced, they made a very difficult process as easy as possible. Definitely use the Mrs. Erlowest boat!! It was so fun and our pictures our amazing. My husband and groomsmen entered the ceremony from the boat and it was a hit. Our guests raved about the food and views. Choosing Erlo as your venue will be the best decision you make!

Words cannot do the beauty of this venue justice! When I found them online I just knew I had to get married there. From the walkthrough to the tasting to the wedding day everything was perfect. We worked with LeAnna who could not have been more professional and helpful with every step. When originally looking I hesitated to get married somewhere where they hold so many weddings/events, but the Erlowest really makes you feel so special. My family rented out the entire Inn so it really felt like a mansion just for us for the weekend! We had to postpone our August 2020 wedding to May 2021 and again LeAnna could not have been kinder or more accommodating. They allowed us to hold our new date and wait until we were 30 days out to make the call, which is something that I know other couples during that time did not have the luxury of doing. The team on the wedding day was so put together and professional and everything ran so incredibly smoothly. Lastly, the Erlowest is such an amazing option as they have an incredible spot to get married in case of rain which still has an open view of the amazing lake and mountains, which was a huge selling point for me! The food was amazing as well - we got so many compliments. They are just a no-stress amazing venue to work with!! Can't wait to visit again for anniversaries in the future.

The Inn at Erlowest turned our dream into reality! Planning a wedding is stressful & with the Covid-19 pandemic, it makes planning a wedding even more stressful! LeAnna at Erlowest was by our sides every step up of the way throughout our planning process and made planning a wedding during a pandemic much easier! She went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. The moment we got to the venue the weekend of our wedding, LeAnna & Laurie helped us make sure everything was in place for our big day. We can't thank them both enough! All of our guests can't stop talking about how delicious the food was and how gorgeous the grounds of the venue are. We're so happy we kept our original wedding plans (with a much smaller guest count of course). Our wedding day was more than we could have ever imagined.
