- Evangelia LeclaireCo-Founder, Head of Event MarketingEvangelia Leclaire is a visionary and strategist with a gift for bringing dreams to life. Born and raised in Queens, NY, and deeply rooted in her Greek heritage, Evangelia planned her own destination wedding on the island of Crete — exchanging vows with her now husband and business partner, Cody, in a small chapel nestled among ancient olive groves. Their sacred, sun-drenched ceremony flowed into a barefoot beach celebration under the stars — the kind of soul-stirring experience she now helps others create. With over 15 years of experience leading global events, operations, and people development — from Fortune 100 companies to purpose-driven startups — Evangelia now channels that expertise into Glampful’s one-of-a-kind micro-wedding weekends. She’s a strategic visionary, a nature-obsessed New Yorker, and a mom who believes every bride deserves to feel beautiful, grounded, and fully present on her wedding day. From the olive groves of Crete to the forests of the Adirondacks, Evangelia creates weddings where love, land, and legacy beautifully converge.
- Cody LeclaireCo-Founder & Experience ArchitectCody Leclaire brings over 15 years of executive leadership in experience-based businesses — and a lifetime of love for the great outdoors. Born just outside the Canadian Rockies, he grew up camping, fishing, and building fires by the lake. After moving to Manhattan in 2005, Cody helped build the world’s leading destination internship program for college students — spanning 15 cities and 5 continents — and later scaled education programs in high-growth industries like tech. Today, Cody brings that same level of vision, operational excellence, and calm leadership to Glampful. He’s the behind-the-scenes expert making sure everything runs smoothly — from logistics to lodging, from glamping tent layouts to fireside dinners. With Cody at the helm, couples can trust that every detail of their micro-wedding weekend will be thoughtfully designed, professionally managed, and infused with warmth. His goal? To make sure your special weekend is not only stunning — but stress-free.

h air, it felt like something out of a dream. The reception was absolutely spectacular, with beautifully set tables, delicious food, and an incredible atmosphere that made the night unforgettable. As the evening wound down, we were treated to the most breathtaking view of the stars—clear, endless, and sparkling above us. Everything was so thoughtfully arranged, from the charming glamping tents to the cozy, intimate vibe. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how unique and beautiful the whole experience was. Truly unforgettable—we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

Fun Bachelorette Weekend!
I helped my friend plan her bachelorette weekend at Glampful, and it checked all the boxes. It was low-key, fun, affordable, and such a unique experience....
Instead of the usual restaurant or bar scene, we chose a peaceful getaway. Some of us glamped under the stars while others stayed at the Lodge. Having the entire property to ourselves made it easy to make it customize the event... And with so many activities nearby (a rodeo, breweries, distilleries) and the lake, we got the best of both worlds. Keisha and Elina were incredible in helping us coordinate the details and add extra special touches.
