The best part of a wedding day is watching two different people come together as one!! The endless amount of love, laughter, and smiles throughout the entire day makes being an Event Manager one of the best jobs ever!! Prior to working at Echo, I was fortunate to work as a wedding planner for a very reputable company in Denver. I gained a lot of experience in the 40 weddings I've previously worked and am incredibly lucky to be able to bring that experience to Echo. Being able to mix my past experience with such an amazing venue is a dream come true!!

Echo mountain was such a beautiful location for our wedding. Jodi was communicative through the whole process and was open to help with anything we needed. She made our night go so smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about any of the details. She even brought us drinks and food while we were taking pictures!
As for the venue itself, it is gorgeous. The views of the mountains are incredible. Everything is in one area so it makes it very easy for guests to get around. It has the ceremony area overlooking the mountain range, a building with the bar and a garage door that can open, an outside area that we used for cocktail hour and games, and then there is the main building that we used for dinner and dancing. They also have a bridal suite and grooms suite.
They offer an on site catering service which we used. The appetizers were absolutely delicious and the dinner was also good. Our only complaint is that the salad was the spiciest salad we have ever tasted (and my husband is from Mexico)! They also provide the alcohol and don’t allow any outside alcohol or they charge a pretty hefty fee. And they will follow through with charging you the fee.
They offer the tables, benches, white folding chairs, and an arch available to use. Other than that you do have to provide everything else. Which we were totally okay with because we could make it our very own. And Jodi is very helpful and accommodating with making your ideas happen. She can also recommend vendors if you need help finding them. We used a couple of the vendors she recommended and they were great.
We loved Echo mountain as our venue and it was the best day of our lives. They even let you get on the ski lift for a few pictures :)

This venue gave us the runaround for weeks. After weeks of attempting to reach them through The Knot and email, Jodi finally scheduled a virtual tour. We were given the tour by Meg, provided info for them to give us a quote, and we emailed and called attempting to finalize our contract. We were told (via text) they were busy covering for ill team members and would respond the next day. 3-4 days later they told us they were no longer taking weekday weddings and would only honor those that had signed contracts. All this after Meg assured us during the tour that she would be much better at communicating than Jodi has been. Terrible communication and management. I would never trust them with something as important as a wedding.
Any questions?

We were looking at this location advertised as a wedding venue. Very poor communication from staff regarding booking our date from both Jody and Meg. Finally got a tour online and then no response to finalize paperwork. Next communication was to say that they are no longer offering mid week reservations and at the same time raised all of their prices. They would not honor any of the pricing or our date that was discussed. Unprofessional and not focused on customer service. Would not recommend to anyone considering this venue.

Sure, here is a five-star review for Echo Mountain:

We recently had our wedding at Echo Mountain, and it was an absolutely magical experience from start to finish! The venue itself is stunning, with breathtaking views and beautifully maintained grounds that made for the perfect backdrop to our special day.
One of the standout features was the in-house catering. The food was incredible—every item was delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how fantastic the meal was. The variety and quality exceeded our expectations and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our celebration.
Also - a special shout-out goes to the event coordinator, Jodi. She was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, Jodi was attentive, organized, and incredibly helpful. She ensured that every detail was taken care of and made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was a calming presence, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.
Echo Mountain made our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a perfect place to celebrate their special day!

We had my daughter's wedding ceremony at Echo this past weekend and it could not have been more perfect! Jodi was absolutely the best to work with and made the experience even more special! From arranging the chair rentals, to coordinating our vendors when they arrived she handled everything! We had a cocktail hour after the ceremony and she was very helpful in choosing the menu for appetizers and drinks. I'm so happy my daughter and her husband choose Echo!! Absolutely perfect!!

Echo Mountain is a truly stunning venue. The mountain views you get at 10,000 ft are breathtaking (sometimes literally lol). The ski lodge for the reception was able to be transformed into a whimsical space filled with lights that was exactly what I was looking for. However Jodi, the venue coordinator, is what really seals the deal for this venue. She is so kind and responsive. She made my vision come to life for this wedding. Having her guidance and day of coordinating services made the wedding go perfectly. We had so much fun and the day went so smoothly thanks to her and the rest of the staff at Echo. I really can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Jodi for helping us make our dream wedding come true!

Getting married at Echo Mountain was a dream come true. The views are incredible and the event manager Jodi is a dream to work with. Very affordable for such a picturesque mountain venue. Every need, question, desire I had was taken care of quickly and completely, and the staff communicated fabulously and were so friendly.

My husband Travis & I picked Echo because of the beautiful location. The view up there is breath taking. Their Director, Molly & their customer service director, Kat, were absolutely wonderful. Very helpful throughout the entire process. They are very accommodating with everything, including allowing our photographer to climb up on the roof of their building to capture awesome shots during our service.
The location is not your typical ski resort. Its much smaller than Aspen or Breck, allowing for a more intimate setting for you and your guests. The location boasts 2 separate buildings, which is great for separating your cocktail hour & dancing from dinner. We were able to utilize the space as we wished.
If you are looking for a mountain wedding, but you don't want to be too far from Denver, then this is the place for you. Its about a 40 minute drive from downtown, and the views are spectacular.
What did I like best? The view. The people we had to work with. The flexibility on behalf of the location & the willingness to help me make this the best wedding ever. You could go elsewhere, but you would regret it. My wedding was nothing short of perfect. Echo was to thank for that in part.
