Echo Dell – Your Magical Wedding Get Away!

From Engagement to Ceremony to Reception – A Variety of Unique Options Guaranteed to Take Your Breath Away!

Once Upon a Time begins with…

The story of Echo Dell, a magnificent wooded estate that was once a working Texas Longhorn cattle ranch with rolling fields, sylvan woods and wildlife galore. Horses and cattle still roam the pastures while wild turkeys, white tail deer, and foxes are regular visitors. If you have sharp eyes, you may even see hawks and eagles soaring aloft.

Your Fairy Tale ending comes true with your choice of…

Antique Pavilions, overlooking the Swatara Creek, perfect for an idyllic wedding and reception… Our Living Caverns, for a one-of-a-kind ceremony for your most special of all days… Our Creekside Venue, where guests can be served hors d’oeuvres by campfire for the perfect photo opportunities… Our Historic Dome Pavilion, offering an elegant backdrop for smaller gatherings … and, last but not least, our Natural Lawn Area, perhaps our most serene setting for the exchanging of vows.

No matter where you and your loved one may roam, you’ll find picturesque views and stunning natural beauty!
