My husband and I had our wedding at The Lodge in September and it was absolutely amazing! When we visited for a tour we knew right away this was the venue for us. Joelle was so helpful and easy to work with. Throughout the entire wedding planning process she answered all our questions and she was so flexible with our meetings since we live out of town. The building itself is s beautiful, we didn't really even feel the need to bring in too many of our own decorations. It was so great to have the venue for the whole day leading up to our ceremony, and the bridal suite was so spacious for myself and my party to get ready in. The food was AMAZING, our guests all still talk about how good their meals were. Everything ran so smoothly the day before and the day of, and we could not have asked for a better venue!

We absolutely LOVED the Lodge. The Venue is beautiful and unique and the staff is professional and experienced. Joelle (coordinator) and her team were amazing, they were on top of every single detail and helped make the day perfect. So many of our guests commented on the venue, how good the food was, etc., and that is not all that common in the wedding business. Would 100% recommend to any and everyone

anning experience went without a hitch, both Joelle and Meg were very responsive and helpful any time myself, my fiancé, or either of our moms had any questions. The venue itself is gorgeous even without any decorations, and the lighting and sound system they have installed really elevates everything. The food and drinks were also amazing, and helped all our guests have a great time. Thank you, Lodge staff!

Having our wedding at the Lodge was the one of the greatest decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. My now-husband and I met working at Welch Allyn, and I...
grew up with a camp in Skaneateles that we moved out to every summer - so I knew I really wanted to get married in Skaneateles. After looking at a few venues there, the Lodge immediately stood out to us as the best place to do it. The ceremony was at St. Mary's church in town and the reception was at the Lodge. We met with Joelle our first time there, and from the very beginning she was incredibly down to earth, honest, knowledgable and flexible. I can't say it enough -- Joelle made our entire wedding planning process and day seamless. We had several meetings with her in the months leading up to the wedding, and I looked forward to going each time just to see and chat with Joelle. Whatever unease I was feeling in the planning process, Joelle talked it through with us and made us feel confident. She let me discuss my ideas with her, and either made them happen or made suggestions on how to do things better -- which I took because she is truly an expert. On our wedding day, my husband and I couldn't wait to get to the Lodge after our ceremony. We got off our limo excitedly saying "where's Joelle!!" because we were really looking forward to seeing her after all of our planning and conversations. I had a specific vision for how the Lodge would look on our wedding day, and Joelle had arranged everything even better than I had imagined. It was absolutely beautiful. Because our wedding was in December but it was a rainy day instead of snow, my dress got dirty on the bottom. It was a very plain dress so it was easy to see. Joelle pulled me into the side room and scrubbed my dress until it was absolutely clean -- something I'm sure isn't in her job description. It was just another way Joelle went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our guests couldn't comment enough on the signature cocktails, the hors d'oeuvres and the dinner. Everything was outstanding. The staff was so accommodating, and I don't think myself, my husband or any of our parents ever went looking for anything we needed -- they always brought us drinks and food, making sure we could focus on each other and our guests. I've never felt so special. We both brought our parents to the "tasting" the Lodge does - where they throw a "mock" wedding so you can see how everything works and taste the food. They had fireworks at the end, which was an option, and my Dad worked with Joelle to have that as a surprise at our wedding. Joelle kept the secret - and we were so surprised when they started. It was all so special. When I had to say goodbye to Joelle later in the night, I was sad -- which may sound dramatic, but it's true. Planning our wedding with Joelle's help and expertise was an absolute joy. I would recommend her and the entire staff at the Lodge if you'd like to have the most amazing and seamless planning experience and wedding. Thank you Joelle and the Lodge staff for everything! PS: I did see one negative review (out of hundreds) that caught me by surprise. I'm shocked to see it, and nothing I read there sounded anything like my experience with Joelle Eddy. I can only conclude that was more of a bride problem and less of a Joelle/The Lodge problem. Thank you again!

Do not recommend. We spent about $30,000 and it wasn't worth it at all. Pros: The venue is gorgeous and the food is amazing Cons: Everything else. The price is insane for what y...
ou get and they nickle and dime you for everything. They wanted $100 for the use of an old beaten up door for a seating chart (really? no thanks). They tell you you are paying for one thing and that's not what you get then they blame you for "misunderstanding". $3,000 for exclusive use of the facility for your ceremony should be exclusive use all day since its 3k! Nope. Only from when your guest start arriving. That means while you're getting ready there will be meetings, tours, etc. going on while you're trying to do your thing. When you set up to have a cash bar during dinner (as in no free alcohol over dinner) that should mean that people have to pay for their alcohol. BE WARNED to them a cash bar is everything! They wanted guest to pay for soda, coffee, tea, etc! After the kind of money you spend here that should be included and made very clear because everyone I ask agrees that cash bar=pay for alcohol that's it. Children set up and decorated my dinner tables? I wasn't aware I was paying for child labor. Joelle Eddy ended up being a nightmare to work with. Not sure how she has so many good reviews. Megan and Bristol were amazing and I wish I could have worked with just them for the whole time. Joelle was rude and always acted like I was an inconvenience over everything. She literally fought with me during my reception at my head table over the cash bar incident. My mother informed me the bar was making people pay for the soda, coffee, tea, during dinner and I requested to speak with Joelle who immediately got angry and started being very rude to me, the bride, at my reception, telling me I misunderstood what a cash bar was and a bunch of other issues. Eventually the problem was resolved but not before a scene was made in front of all of my guests. Even if she disagreed with me she should have just taken care of it and we could have dealt with it later instead of arguing with the bride in front of all her guest. She also interrupted our pictures rudely and angrily because we ran over cocktail hour a bit. Again, not your wedding. Go with the flow and make it work do not be rude to the bride on her wedding day. It literally made me cry because I was overwhelmed and upset by her actions. When bringing my decor over she kept commenting on how much stuff we had and that is was ridiculous, which was ridiculously rude and it wasn't a lot at all. After the fact when picking my stuff up they had just thrown it all together without a care, and my parents had to actually do a lot of it. Joelle was rude to them and then disappeared. The venue and grounds are pretty the food was amazing but do not waste your money and risk ruining your special day too. There are other gorgeous places with better and nicer people that will actual care about making your day perfect! If you already booked it or are insistent on it DO NOT WORK WITH JOELLE she should not be allowed to work weddings. Request Meghan or Bristol.

Can't say enough good things. I wanted a very different layout/order of events than the wedding norm and when other venues told me "No, not possible" the Welch Allyn was like "Let...
's do it" and not only that they were excited about doing something different and helped me make my dreams a reality. When your 90 year old grandfather (who has 6 kids and 15 grandkids) says it's the best wedding he has ever been to and your friends ask you to get married again you know something went right and the Welch Allyn staff were the behind the scenes miracle workers. Work with Joelle and Megan if you can, both amazing. And the food...the food was never ending and all so good! So many compliments from my guests.

ht of it. Nothing was overlooked. The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch! We even had our own server (Emily, who was amazing!) assigned to my husband and me to make sure we never went without food or drink while we were busy running around with photos and the other things that keep pulling a bride and groom away. We can't say enough good things about The Lodge. It was obvious that making our special day perfect was as important to them as it was to us.

sponded promptly and thoughtfully to all of my emails and calls, and we also had three face to face meetings leading up to the big day. She took care of everything from making a timeline, to suggesting vendors, to ordering linens, to coordinating with my vendors, to setting up and taking down all of my decor. She was kind and organized and a true professional. She responded to and took care of every little special request I had without batting an eyelash. The Lodge had so many different options for food, lighting, additional decor, and even kids rooms and bridal party packages, that it made everything super easy. They even provided a personal concierge for the bride on the wedding day, who attended personally to my every need and want, from getting my food and drinks, to loading gifts and cake into my car at the end of the night. The many different options offered by the venue also made it more customizable to fit my specific budget. They offer discounts on food packages and even venue costs depending on the season and day of the week. It also helps immensely that I was able to drop of my decor at any time leading up to the wedding, and am able to pick it up weeks after. HIGHLY recommended.
